Thinking Advice Hollywood

More From Morgan Freeman

There are as many forms of advice as there are colors of the rainbow. remember that good advice can come from bad people and bad advice from good people. the important thing about advice is that it is simply that. advice.

There's no such thing as advice to the lovelorn. if they took advice, they wouldn't be lovelorn. you see, advice and lovelorn don't go together. because advice makes love sound like some sort of cognitive activity, but we know that it isn't. we all know that it's some sort of horrible chemical reaction over which we have absolutely no control. and that's why advice doesn't work.

If i marry: he must be so tall that when he is on his knees, as one has said he reaches all the way to heaven. his shoulders must be broad enough to bear the burden of a family. his lips must be strong enough to smile, firm enough to say no, and tender enough to kiss. love must be so deep that it takes its stand in christ and so wide that it takes the whole lost world in. he must be active enough to save souls. he must be big enough to be gentle and great enough to be thoughtful. his arms must be strong enough to carry a little child.

My father was a writer, so i grew up writing and reading and i was really encouraged by him. i had some sort of gift and when it came time to try to find a publisher i had a little bit of an "in" because i had his agent i could turn to, to at least read my initial offerings when i was about 20. but the only problem was that they were just awful, they were just terrible stories and my agent, who ended up being my agent, was very, very sweet about it, but it took about four years until i actually had something worth trying to sell.

I fired a bunch of people and kind of went back to my roots. i fired my agent - i had this big, fancy agent and a big fancy manager and a big fancy lawyer - and i went back to my first agent and said, "i want to go back to just being an actor."

Nine requisites for contented living: health enough to make work a pleasure. wealth enough to support your needs. strength to battle with difficulties and overcome them. grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them. patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished. charity enough to see some good in your neighbor. love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others. faith enough to make real the things of god. hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.

How can we have the courage to wish to live, how can we make a movement to preserve ourselves from death, in a world where love is provoked by a lie and consists solely in the need of having our sufferings appeased by whatever being has made us suffer?

The dream of romantic love is taken more seriously in north america than it is anywhere else in the world, which is why we believe in fidelity and why we believe in infidelity as well. it is also, of course, what makes our divorce rate as high as it is. falling in love at first sight and instant gratification are part of the world in which we live, so there are people who believe adamantly in fidelity. they just don't believe in it for long.

Love's creed is separate from all religions.

God only knows how much i'd love you if you let me, but i can't break through at all.
