Video Editors: This seems like a bunch of honor and glory that can be gotten for a few hours. If I were a video editor, I’d call in sick and bust this. (actually, I’m not a video editor and I’m doing one of these anyway)
Don’t LIKE this. If you like it, REBLOG it. Your video editing friends will thank you profusely for this opportunity.

You’re the type of girl who’s whole body shakes when you laugh. Even when you’re sitting alone in a restaurant reading your book. I’m with my friends and I’m having a really thick milkshake and I can’t even keep my attention on the grilled cheese sandwich I’m eating because you’re so pretty. I doubt I’ll ever see someone as beautiful as you again so I really...
“I’d love to tell actors about all the things they don’t need to worry about.

Unexpected wisdom from Will Smith talking with Charlie Rose on approaching tasks:
You don’t set out to build a wall. You don’t say I’m going to build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall that’s every been built. You don’t start there. You say I’m going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid. …. You do that every single day, and soon you have a wall....

I went right from avant-garde to being old hat in five minutes, and you start to feel superannuated,” he said. “With every new generation, popular art changes.
