Any tendency to design for design's sake, to create a pattern within which the owner must live according to rules set by the designer, is headed for frustration, if not disaster.

More quotes by Thomas Haden Church
When I moved to L.A. in 1989, the very first thing I did was this horrific pilot called To Protect And Surf.
Thomas Haden Church
I invested, and I protected myself, so I enjoy that freedom.
Thomas Haden Church
I certainly was an actor and then I drifted more towards writing and directing.
Thomas Haden Church
I did a series called Ned and Stacey for two years for Fox back in the 90s. I was writer on it as well as a producer, and it was very important to me that there were no contemporary references.
Thomas Haden Church
I've never been married, and I've never been divorced. But I have had some very serious relationships. I was engaged twice. The way that those relationships ended, it was very very heartbreaking.
Thomas Haden Church
But at the same time, if the right thing came along, I would do it in a second.
Thomas Haden Church
Villains with a conscience have this sad realization of who they are, and the monster they've become — there's a sense of regret. So at the end of these movies there's a dramatic resonance that really stays with the audience.
Thomas Haden Church
Nothing is set up like a comedy bit. I did sitcoms for 10 years. Literally from 1989 to 1999. That's almost all I did. Whenever I got away from television I was like, Phew, thank God that's over. I am never going back.
Thomas Haden Church
I love knowing that I'm not better than any other person on the planet.
Thomas Haden Church
But I'm a citizen of Texas and try to spend most of my time there.
Thomas Haden Church
And there have certainly been movies I wanted to be in and milestones I wanted to surpass that did not happen.
Thomas Haden Church
Between Clive Owen winning at the Golden Globes and the British Academy announcing its nominations, of which Sideways received only one, I'm feeling pretty humbled these days.
Thomas Haden Church
I would just turn into a giant pair of lips. Oh God! There he is! It's Lip-Man!
Thomas Haden Church
I have a healthy sense of vanity. I like to look good for myself, which is what a lot of women say. I want to stay fit.
Thomas Haden Church
I love going to the feed store and drinking coffee and talking about how much rain we need.
Thomas Haden Church
I've been an admirer of Helen Mirren for a long time. As I get older, I find myself admiring older women who have poise and elegance.
Thomas Haden Church
I've been a writer longer than I've been an actor. I wrote short stories like crazy when I was in high school and college. I worked in advertising before I moved to L.A. to pursue acting.
Thomas Haden Church
But all actors go through the process, it's hit and miss, you have achievement and failure.
Thomas Haden Church
Their lives have been largely defined by failure and you would think the prospect of marriage, which is supposed to be bountiful and hopeful, it's just really another kind of tangential thing in his life.
Thomas Haden Church
Look at the Native American culture. They revere the elders.
