Every genuine boy is a rebel and an anarch. If he were allowed to develop according to his own instincts, his own inclinations, society would undergo such a radical transformation as to make the adult revolutionary cower and cringe.

Telling us to obey instinct is like telling us to obey "people." People say different things: so do instincts. Our instincts are at war.... Each instinct, if you listen to it, will claim to be gratified at the expense of the rest....

You have to trust your instincts. There`s a moment when an actor has it, and he knows it. Behind the camera you can feel the moment even more clearly. And once you`ve got it, once you feel it, you can`t second-guess yourself. You can find a million reason...
Clint Eastwood
I don`t have a technique. I`ve never been a believer in having one set technique on how to act. There are no rules and there is no rulebook. At the end of the day, it all comes down to my instincts. That`s the one thing that guides me through every decisi...
Heath Ledger
[on Montgomery Clift] Monty was a great talent, whose acting I always admired. He had extraordinary instincts. His observations about the script were always astute and correct. He would have made a great director, which eventually he wanted to be. "Would ...
Myrna Loy
[on playing Gollum in Lord of the Rings:] "Everyone has their own interpretation of what he is, what he looks like and how he sounds. So it was up to me to just trust my own instincts."
Andy Serkis
When asked if she felt _Terry Farrell_ made the right decision by leaving Star Trek: Absolutely. Because she was following her own instincts. That can`t be wrong and she certainly got a lot more years of experience doing the Ted Danson show Becker on CBS....
Nana Visitor
Femenists bore me to death. I follow my instinct and if that supports young girls in any way, great. But I`d rather they saw it more as a lesson about following their own instincts rather than imitating somebody.
Bjork Guomundsdottir
I`ve always been really in touch with my primal instincts. In my profession you have to be. You have to be open to going where your emotions take you. Acting is a sort of pressure cooker that allows the fizz to come out the top. God knows what I`d be like...
Andy Serkis
The guy who really wants to gain people`s attention needs to believe in himself and not wonder too much. Actually, I think he must follow his instincts and try to know who he is talking to and use this feeling to know if he is compatible with the person i...
Guillaume Canet
I suppose one of the most important things about real beauty is intelligence, and real womanliness - it`s a combination of intelligence and all the instincts of womanhood, motherhood, and the beauty of girlhood. These things all sort of go in together, an...
Gary Cooper
(On his instincts as an actor) "When I first read the script for Hard Target, I thought, "I`m gonna glue my ears back for this role,` and I had no idea why at the time. In my mind`s eye I saw the character as being linear, sleek; he looked like a Doberman...
Lance Henriksen
Trust your own instincts, go inside, follow your heart. Right from the start. go ahead and stand up for what you believe in. As I`ve learned, that`s the path to happiness.
Lesley Warren
Once you get rid of the idea that you must please other people before you please yourself, and you begin to follow your own instincts - only then can you be successful. You become more satisfied, and when you are, other people will tend to be satisfied by...
Raquel Welch
...it`s very clear that a lot of people that have really strong instincts as actors are very often inarticulate...Sometimes, you know, classically, if someone`s very intellectual, they aren`t as connected to the doing of things. And the doing is really th...
Willem Dafoe
You know, I left the country when Reagan got in; I went to France. And when George Bush Jr. got in, my instincts told me it was time to go - I`d felt that we had grown above that, you know?
Thomas Chong
Within two weeks of working with her, I realized how good she was for the role because she was absolutely with it and she has got terrific instincts, I think, as an artist, too.
Albert Finney
When the going got tough, I really had to draw on many of the same competitive instincts I did when I was skating. I really had to put my head down and stay positive. I had to fight.
Peggy Fleming
When it comes down to vocals, I want to hear something that`s going to be melodic. David`s always had those animalistic instincts of making those gut sounds, or whatever you want to call it. But he`s developed a really strong singing voice.
Dan Donegan
To seek understanding before taking action, yet to trust my instincts when action is called for. Never to avoid danger from fear, never to seek out danger for its own sake. Never to conform to fashion from fear of eccentricity, never to be eccentric from ...
Andrei Denisov
The toughest for me are the guys who guess a lot. The good one I play against every year is Samari Rolle. He doesn`t just play it by the book. He plays with instincts. Those are the tough guys for me. They can get beat a lot, other times they can look uns...
David Carr
The driver notices the differences in colors on the race track, if there is fluid. Is the track dry? A driver definitely has the instincts. They rely on Brett. They can call down and say, `Is the track ready?` And if the driver says no, they can trust tha...
Jimmy Spencer
Some of their best songs don`t have bridges and choruses. So that made me think I should trust my instincts. My songs were okay, I figured. I didn`t need to change anything.
