We started filming [with Brandy Burre ]and didn't really know, at first, what we were doing. Eventually, the thing just grabbed a hold of both of us and became what it is. But, yeah, we were very close before and we're even closer now.

More quotes by Robert Greene
People around you, constantly under the pull of their emotions, change their ideas by the day or by the hour, depending on their mood. You must never assume that what people say or do in a particular moment is a statement of their permanent desires.
Robert Greene
Still uncertain as to our identity, we think that what matters in the work world is gaining attention and making friends. And these misconceptions and naïveté are brutally exposed in the light of the real world.
Robert Greene
You have the power to think differently about who you are. You have the ability to turn off the critical voice inside of you. That's not you. That's coming from the culture. That's coming from the outside of you. You've internalized the voice of your parents, your teachers, your friends.
Robert Greene
No one is really going to help you or give you direction. In fact, the odds are against you.
Robert Greene
In a society where the roles everyone plays are obvious, the refusal to conform to any standard will excite interest. Be both masculine and feminine, impudent and charming, subtle and outrageous. Let other people worry about being socially acceptable those types are a dime a dozen, and you are after a power greater than they can imagine.
Robert Greene
Ah Franion, treason is loved of many, but the Traitor hated of all: unjust offences may for a time escape without danger, but never without revenge.
Robert Greene
Lord, protect me from my friends I can take care of my enemies.
Robert Greene
Any titles, money, or privilege you inherit are actually hindrances. They delude you into believing you are owed respect.
Robert Greene
When someone is not there all the time it gives us space to think about them. Your job in influence and persuasion is to get the other person to think about you or your product without you forcing yourself upon them or without you making them think about you.
Robert Greene
If you are worried about what others might think and about how your position in the group might be jeopardized, then you will never really create anything.
Robert Greene
Only your hearts be frolic, for the time Craves that we taste of naught but jouissance.
Robert Greene
Defeat Them in Detail: The Divide and Conquer Strategy. Look at the parts and determine how to control the individual parts, create dissension and leverage it.
Robert Greene
Animals behave in set patterns, which is why we are able to hunt and kill them. Only man has the capacity to consciously alter his behavior, to improvise and overcome the weight of routine and habit.
Robert Greene
Any momentary triumph you think you have gained through argument is really a Pyrrhic victory. The resentment and ill will you stir up is stronger and lasts longer than any momentary change of opinion. It is much more powerful to get others to agree with you through your actions, without saying a word. Demonstrate, do not explicate.
Robert Greene
There are people that don't need to run towards adversity. They grew up in circumstances where it's forced upon them. Other people lead, pushier lives. So there are all kinds of forms of adversity in the world.
Robert Greene
Understand: A person of power instills a kind of fear by deliberately unsettling those around him to keep the initative on his side.
Robert Greene
If I could simplify the whole game of power and strategy in one equation, it would all hinge on the capacity to see events around you exactly as they are. The closer your mind is to reality, the better your strategies, your responses in life.
Robert Greene
It's fortunately a kind of society we live in where we can be diverse. People can take different paths and not feel like they're doing something wrong.
Robert Greene
Obviously there's Netflix, iTunes, and Amazon and all these other outlets. Fake It So Real is now on Fandor, and I think people have actually seen it there, which is fine.
Robert Greene
Do not envy those who seem to be naturally gifted it is often a curse, as such types rarely learn the value of diligence and focus, and they pay for this later in life.
