(I don’t know who took this shot, but it is hilariously awesome on so many levels)
Anyone who has read this blog more than once knows how I feel about Hollywood and the whole notion of being a celebrity. In lighter words, I am not in a blog partnership with Perez Hilton, and I do not have a subscription to People magazine. To put it a bit more directly for the reading impaired, I do not understand nor do I give two shits about the goings on in the personal lives of any person who is famous, especially actors and actresses who are simply trying to take a shit without a camera going off (as atypical as they may be).With that out of the way we can get on as to why the hell I would exactly make a post of any nature surrounding the famous people that so many drool and fantasize over.
I have a great level of respect and interest in the history of the lives of many actor’s and actresses. I have found that the vast majority of them were not born into being famous, they busted their ass at their craft and became a huge megastar only because of their consistent efforts to never give up and quit when others would cry like babies. People like Sylvester Stallone who lived in the most poor of conditions, ruined a marriage, and sold their dog for a few dollars just so they could live for their passions and push towards what they want in life. People like that deserve respect, and that’s exactly what I have for them.
I comprised a selection of quotations by some of these big time Hollywood A-listers, and while some of them may have not had the hard knock life making it to the top, all of them seem to have their shit together in their lives and a good head on their shoulders, hence the advice that doesn’t suck, and it actually damn good for all us normies
For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.
-Arnold Schwarzenegger
I don’t believe in guilt, I believe in living on impulse as long as you never intentionally hurt another person, and don’t judge people in your life. I think you should live completely free.
-Angelina Jolie
Success is a beast. And it actually puts the emphasis on the wrong thing. You get away with more instead of looking within.
-Brad Pitt
God knows I’ve done enough crap in my life to grow a few flowers
-Dustin Hoffman
I don’t believe in pessimism. If something doesn’t come up the way you want, forge ahead. If you think it’s going to rain, it will.
-Clint Eastwood
I love what I do. I take great pride in what I do. And I can’t do something halfway, three-quarters, nine-tenths. If I’m going to do something, I go all the way.
-Tom Cruise
You’ve achieved success in your field when you don’t know whether what you’re doing is work or play
-Warren Beatty
You always pass failure on the way to success.
-Mickey Rooney
Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as if you’ll die today.
