Today, people often make the American mistake of confusing acquaintances with friends. The former are there to share life's pleasures only the latter should be invited to share one's problems.

Education. Experience. Or are they the same thing?
Julian Fellowes
Image
School visits are something I do fairly often: I always say to the students that somebody has got to end up with the interesting careers, so why not them?

Lawyers are always confident before the verdict. It's only after that they share their doubts.
Julian Fellowes
Image
If you're in the movie or in television, your failures are very public, and so are your successes. You weigh them up against each other, really.
