Danh ngôn của Harry Dean Stanton (Sứ mệnh: 8)

You want people to feel something when you tell a story, whether they feel happy or whether they feel sad.
You want people walking away from the conversation with some kernel of wisdom or some kind of impact.
I'm not really into religion.
My father and mother were not that compatible. I don't think they had a good wedding night, and I was the product of that. We weren't close.
I was the classic killer. I always played an angry man. I think it was because I used to really be like that - I was hostile. And because I had a good sense of theatrical truth, I used my anger and rebelliousness and just went with it. Anger was just a part of me.
I'm tired of playing people who are complete washouts and bums. I don't mind waiting for the good ones to come along. It's like age. It's never bothered me. I've even forgot my birthday. Many times I've wondered if I should tell my real age, but now I think it's an honor, to be doing what I'm doing now at my age.
The void, the concept of nothingness, is terrifying to most people on the planet. And I get anxiety attacks myself. I know the fear of that void. You have to learn to die before you die. You give up, surrender to the void, to nothingness.
