The subconscious mind takes your fears as a request, proceeds to manifest them, and brings them into your experience. - Joseph Murphy
I'm a bit of a loner, you know? I'm more quiet by nature. And coming from, you know, hillbilly country, I'm probably more reserved. - Brad Pitt
I'm actually very snobbish about directors. I have to say 'no' all the time. 'No' is the most powerful word in our business. You've got to protect yourself. You want to stake your own claim. You don't want to be called a copycat. - Brad Pitt
I'm an Obama supporter, no question. But it doesn't mean there's nothing to learn from the other side. - Brad Pitt
I'm most comfortable with the Southern dialects, really. It's easy, for example, for me to do Irish because we've got Irish heritage where I come from. - Brad Pitt
I'm much more experienced now, so I can find films that are interesting quicker and cut out the films that don't really matter. It means more to me now because my kids are going to see them, and I want them to be proud. - Brad Pitt
I'm satisfied with making true choices and finding the woman I love, Angie, and building a family that I love so much. - Brad Pitt
I'm sure they're saddened by me, and I get frustrated with them. But I love them, and at the end of the day if they need me or if they need anything, I'm there for them. Family. - Brad Pitt
In Missouri, where I come from, we don't talk about what we do - we just do it. If we talk about it, it's seen as bragging. - Brad Pitt
It might be a very human thing across the board, but we, in America, love a story - we need a story to get involved in. But then everything becomes more about how the story protects a certain perception as we pick sides. - Brad Pitt
It took me a good decade of hiding in my house and not going outside to even, like, get my arms around this idea of celebrity, where suddenly people are looking for you to pick your nose or get a shot of you kissing some woman. It's a very discombobulating thing. - Brad Pitt
It's hard to be surprised by a film. It's hard to be surprised by another actor or by a director when you've seen enough and been around. So when I am, or when I forget that I'm watching someone's movie, or when I don't know how someone made a certain turn that I didn't expect . . . You know, I'm in. - Brad Pitt
It's those difficult times that inform the next wonderful time, and it's a series of trade-offs, of events, of wins and losses. - Brad Pitt
I've always been at war with myself, for right or wrong. I don't know how to explain it more. It's universal. Some people are better at dealing with it, and they sleep with no pain - not pain, arguments. I've grown quite comfortable with being at war. - Brad Pitt
I've never seen a publicist that could protect me from things, protect anyone from what's going on out there. - Brad Pitt
I've worked with some really great directors, and I'm really choosy about them because they're telling the story at the end of the day. - Brad Pitt
Listen, I've been pretty fortunate. And if I've been underrated, it's actually been something I've been able to work with; I can surprise people. It sets me up to exceed expectations, so I don't mind. - Brad Pitt
Man, when I'm riding with the helmet on, I'm invisible. And people just deal with me as the guy on the bike... it gives you a chance to read 'em. - Brad Pitt
My affliction has been... I can make something or draw something or design something better than I can explain it. - Brad Pitt
My father came from a very poor background, but I was very fortunate in the sense that we were never in need. My dad was determined to make sure that we didn't want for things. He wanted to give us more opportunity than he had, a better shot at a better life. - Brad Pitt
