Dreams that are planned are called frustration.
I'm not Pollyanna. Nobody has a magic wand.
Have I dated a supermodel? Of course not. I'd look ridiculous.
If you have an impossible dream, a dream that cannot be fulfilled, the friendly thing for me to do is to put a stop to you wasting your life at it.
CB4 is never coming back. A few years later, I think I'm a much better player. It's funny, even all the way over here in Africa, people are telling me, 'We need CB4 back.' I can't be that. That's impossible.
There's a million leading men on TV today that are perfectly great, and their jobs are fantastic. But it's not as interesting to me when every fight they win, every case they solve, every girl they get.
God loves with a great love the man whose heart is bursting with a passion for the impossible.
This is my one beef with Hollywood: It's great for movie sales, but they've created this fiction for us that, when you have a hard thing in your life, it's going to get fixed, and then your life will be awesome! Forever!
The protagonist in 'Deacon Blues' is a triple-L loser - an L-L-L Loser. It's not so much about a guy who achieves his dream but about a broken dream of a broken man living a broken life.
Good is not good when better is expected.
You'd die very sad if you tried to make everyone in the world happy, you know what I mean? You can't; no one can.
Trying to be Supermom is as futile as trying to be Perfect Mom. Not going to happen.
Sometimes it seemed like it was never good enough, no matter what I did.
[It is] unrealistic to attempt ... to establish a utopia free from any hazards. Absolute [industrial] safety is an impossibility.
I will say, there's not an episode in existence where whatever didn't come out the way I wanted it to or is an actual mistake that won't nag at me until the end of the time.
I had to fight those type of fights which were high risk, low reward and at the start, I never could get the fights I really wanted.
Unfortunately, kids are led to believe things are easier to achieve than they really are.
All my movies are about people with some ideology, but guess what? It never works out.
When people complain of life, it is almost always because they have asked impossible things of it.
I had dreams, but I didn't have the sense that they would necessarily work out. They seemed very far-fetched.
I don't like when people expect too much, because then I'll only be disappointed if things don't work out.
I'm definitely attracted to the idea of people that have these big aspirations that the audience know might never happen, but they're lost in them.
I think that people have expectations of themselves and other people that are based on these fictions that are presented to them as the way human life and relationships could be, in some sort of weird, ideal world, but they never are. So you're constantly being shown this garbage and you can't get there.
Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be.
Paradise is too perfect for humanity.
