Work Out Quotes
When one is working out a problem ... life becomes duality. One's ego transacts the ordinary routine of things, as if the mind had an upper and lower story and the regular performance of the day's duties moved and motivated on the upper floor, while down below the all-absorbing problem toils silently, forcefully, toward its solution.

Mean Quotes
...what one commonly takes as 'the reality,' including the reality of one's own individual person, by no means signifies something fixed, but rather something that is ambiguous-that there is not only one, but that there are many realities, each comprising also a different consciousness of the ego.

Looks Quotes
I was well aware of that when I heard they were remaking 'Total Recall.' My first reaction was: 'Ewww, really okay?' And the director said you should really look at it, the script is good. I had already done a remake. I had just finished 'Fright Night.' When I heard about that being remade, I had a whole ego thing... remake?. 'That is so uncool! I loved the original, I can't possibly do that'.

Agents Quotes
When you drop the ego, you drop a whole world that you have created around it. For the first time you are able to see things as they are - not as you would like them to be. And when you are capable of knowing the facts of life, you become capable of knowing the truth. The facility of life is the first step towards truth. And ego is the most falsifying agent.

Barney Quotes
You gotta let a guy be himself, because that's what makes him. Leonard, Robinson, Ali, Benny Leonard, Barney Ross, all of them had the same attitude. If they don't have that ego kinda temperament they're not going to make it. You gotta be a selfish guy. Most people take selfishness as something bad, but it's really something good. If a guy don't help himself and think about himself first he won't make itnowhere in life doing nothing.

Bigger Quotes
You gotta get up early in the morning to mess with me. I mean, I'm a businessman first-you gotta let the business come before the music, because it's all about being a good person and your ego can't get bigger than yourself and the things you're your trying to do, especially when you're promoting an album. So I feel it's real important to be businesslike in anything I do.

Bread Quotes
There's a fork in the road, you can be jealous, or you can be happy. I always choose happiness. Jealousy is one of the seven deadly sins, ... If I've got two loaves of bread under each arm, why must I feel jealous of anybody? Why can't I just be happy for myself? If that's the way you look at it, then why isn't Randy jealous of David Letterman or Jay Leno? Because there's always somebody better than you. The thing is, I would rather just be thankful and live each day as if it was a gift instead of a burden. It is a burden if you're so competitive or so ego-driven that you can't live unless you make everything else dead around you.

As far as needing help against the really tough defenses, well, that's what we're here for. Everything you do is a joint effort. Peyton and I being on the same page? I like to believe we are. We've worked on it long enough. And as far as ego ... well, I think you know me well enough not to worry about that.

Academic Quotes
Einstein was a really interesting guy. He wasn't some dutiful little chap who went through the academic system and did everything proper. He had an enormous ego -- any lesser ego would have given up. He publishes this stuff and nobody pays attention for four years, but he is possessed -- and that's what makes him hell to be with as a human.

Appreciate Quotes
Everybody wants to be hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy and I'm no different. But you have to appreciate every role you get.

The personal goals and ego go out the window.

Battle Quotes
It often happens with films. You get to the end of production and you find that the film I was making is not necessarily the film that the financiers thought they were getting.
