I also make movies that can be seen on a small screen, as I shoot on digital video. Hopefully they can be seen small and can live like that.

More quotes by Robert Greene
To succeed in the game of power, you have to master your emotions. But even if you succeed in gaining such self-control, you can never control the temperamental dispositions of those around you. And this presents a great danger.
Robert Greene
We're close friends [with Brandy Burre]. We're neighbors. I actually lived two houses over from her for a while and then we were traveling one day and she was looking at the house we currently live in - which was between us - and she's like, You guys should move here! It's bigger and better!
Robert Greene
When there are no other options, people fight harder. If the choice is life or death they have nothing to lose.
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
The time that leads to mastery is dependent on the intensity of our focus.
Robert Greene
I have examples of people who find their way back later on in life, in their 30's, 40's, it can happen in your 50's, I'm sure it can. It's not really a science. It's maybe more of an art.
Robert Greene
Your ability to work with people directly affects your ability to get work done in the world.
Robert Greene
Then grew a wrinkle on fair Venus' brow, The amber sweet of love is turn'd to gall! Gloomy was Heaven bright Phoebus did avow He would be coy, and would not love at all Swearing no greater mischief could be wrought, Than love united to a jealous thought.
Robert Greene
I think the homeless thing is very interesting and I think is an incredible exercise.
Robert Greene
Lord, protect me from my friends I can take care of my enemies.
Robert Greene
No one is really going to help you or give you direction. In fact, the odds are against you.
Robert Greene
Many a serious thinker has been produced in prisons, where we have nothing to do but think.
Robert Greene
Deception is a developed art of civilization and the most potent weapon in the game of power
Robert Greene
I'm the kind of person that wants to analyze and I think having a background in, strangely enough, in like literature and languages, I'm always analyzing things.
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
In the opening stage of most careers any attention is what you want, any attention is good attention, even if it's bad attention.
Robert Greene
Most people are passive aggressive in this world. I have the idea that the human being is born with a kind of reservoir of aggression. We are inherently somewhat aggressive creatures and we either channel that in direct ways or we channel it in indirect ways and become passive aggressive.
Robert Greene
What will seduce a person is the effort we expend on their behalf, showing how much we care, how much they are worth. Leaving things to chance is a recipe for disaster, and reveals that we do not take love and romance very seriously.
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.
