If you’re smart, you’ll always be humble. You can learn all you want, but there’ll always be somebody who’s never read a book who’ll know twice what you know. – David Duchovny
For example, for me, my brother helped me get a manager, which I don’t take for granted. It’s tough getting a manager, let alone one that actually cares about you and is smart. But from there, no one’s going to cast me just because I’m James Franco’s little brother. – Dave Franco

Look at something like cooking. Now, you would hear a lot about smart kitchens and augmented kitchens. And what do those smart kitchens actually do? They police what’s happening inside the kitchen. They have cameras that distinguish ingredients one from each other and that tell you that shouldn’t mix this ingredient with another ingredient. – Evgeny Morozov
Your priority has to be the creativity – and build a brand. That’s what everybody did – Balenciaga, Dior, Saint Laurent. That’s the smart thing to do. – Nicolas Ghesquiere

In my family, I’m the middle of three, and I’m like a lot of middle children. I was one of those kids that floated from group to group. I liked being able to be included in all the groups – the bad kids, the smart kids. – Eileen Myles
Every opportunity that comes your way, you can’t take lightly. You have to take it very, very seriously, because the opportunities are limited. If you want to keep working, you can’t be such an elitist, to say no, that’s not good enough, not big enough, not smart enough, whatever. – Chris Klein

Smart people don’t go down dark alleys, but if you’re making an action movie and you want to have an action sequence, somehow you have to get that character into that dangerous situation. – Doug Liman
When we can commit a crime, we can also trigger debate. Cases go to courts. Media start covering the cases.

You should be smart enough to know that you don’t know everything. But you have to believe in yourself. I certainly do. – Diane Kruger
