Robert Greene
The truth is that creative activity is one that involves the entire self - our emotions, our levels of energy, our characters, and our minds.
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
Sadness of any sort is also seductive, particularly if it seems deep-rooted, even spiritual, rather than needy or pathetic—it makes people come to you.
Robert Greene
You can't disengage yourself from that game if you are completely unaware of what people out there might be doing, you're just going to be tripped up, you're going to find yourself continually at a disadvantage.
Robert Greene
Many a serious thinker has been produced in prisons, where we have nothing to do but think.
Robert Greene
Expand your notion of what adversity is.
Robert Greene
I want my movies to play in movie theaters. While festivals can fulfill a part of that, there's nothing like getting a week-long run for your movie. It's becoming increasingly difficult to get that.
Robert Greene
People go into things for the wrong reasons.
Robert Greene
When there are no other options, people fight harder. If the choice is life or death they have nothing to lose.
