The only thing you sometimes have control over is perspective. You don't have control over your situation. But you have a choice about how you view it.

More quotes by Chris Pine
My nana was an actress, my mom was an actress, and my sister, too. So because I was surrounded by it, it really came naturally.
Chris Pine
I work out because that's my job, but what I enjoy about it, beyond the vanity, is the Zen of it. I like getting out of my head, and one great way to do that is to sweat your face off. And to know that, if you're thinking of anything else, you're not working intensely enough.
Chris Pine
It's a fun thing for journalists to say that Captain Kirk is the boyfriend role. I'm happy to give a laugh. But it's a really complex story.
Chris Pine
I think the most dangerous word in the English language is 'should.' 'I should have done this.' Or 'I should do that.' 'Should' implies responsibility. It connotes demand. Which is just not the case. Life ebbs and flows.
Chris Pine
Fear runs our lives a lot of the time. You can face it head-on, or you can hide in your bunker.
Chris Pine
Women think that men don't talk about their feelings with guys. We do talk to friends about relationships, but it's succinct - 10 minutes, then we move on.
Chris Pine
I'm always surprised reading my old journals. There's this idea that life is hard now, but then I'll reach that moment where it'll change. But there's no summit. It's a constant climb.
Chris Pine
No matter how bad the individual, everybody has reasons for why they do what they do.
Chris Pine
Theatre is so much fun because you do theatre and you have a month of working it out on your own, and then a month of rehearsal, so by the time you get to stage I know where I'm failing and I know where I'm succeeding and your boundaries are pretty concrete.
Chris Pine
I performed and sang at school but as a child it was never anything I was interested in doing professionally.
Chris Pine
I feel prematurely old. I'm actually having this major belated quarter-life crisis. I'm turning 30 in a couple of weeks. I've been thinking a lot about mortality. A lot about what I'm going to do with my life and how to enjoy it. One of the things I'm going to work on is being more spontaneous, letting go, embracing the beauty of come-what-may.
Chris Pine
Working together always works together better... it also appeals to a primal, animal thing, which is that humans are social creatures.
Chris Pine
I think the desire to be with someone beautiful...I just had such a different experience growing up. To be in a position where you're lauded for things that you don't own - and don't think of yourself as - it's so bizarre.
Chris Pine
[ The Finest Hours] reminded me a lot of a film I did called Unstoppable in that you have a driving thriller aspect of the film and it's not all that complicated of a story and there's a simple elegance to it. I liked that. It is also driven by a really strong romance and ordinary men doing extraordinary things. I love that.
Chris Pine
It's not always the case that things will fall into your lap or that life will be great, but it's all about perspective and having a positive outlook. If something goes wrong you say: That happened for a reason, what can I learn from that and how can I grow?
Chris Pine
I believe in luck and fate and I believe in karma, that the energy you put out in the world comes back to meet you.
Chris Pine
The more you are positive and say: I want to have a good life. The more you build that reality for yourself by creating the life that you want.
Chris Pine
My touchstone is just fear and anxiety and I know a lot about those two awful emotions.
Chris Pine
I'm more cerebral than I want to be.
Chris Pine
I think that when you let go and throw it all away and stop getting attached and say whatever happens, happens, you don't invest too much in anything particular, and things work out.
Chris Pine
