No human face is exactly the same in its lines on each side, no leaf perfect in its lobes, no branch in its symmetry. All admit irregularity as they imply change; and to banish imperfection is to destroy expression, to check exertion, to paralyze vitality. All things are literally better, lovelier, and more beloved for the imperfections which have been divinely appointed, that the law of human life may be Effort, and the law of human judgment, Mercy. ↗

— John Ruskin

I think it doesn’t matter if you or I or anybody else thinks homosexuality is a sin. It doesn’t matter if you or I think anything is a sin. It doesn’t matter if homosexuality is a sin or not. In fact, it doesn’t matter if anything anybody else does is a sin or not. Because sin is a very personal thing! It always has been and it always will be! And it has nothing to do with love. ↗

One of the cruelest judgments sustained against me is that I have spoken out as a recovered alcoholic to stimulate my acting career. ↗

The implication that everyone would have to accept its judgments uncritically, that it was a decision from which there could be no appeal, was astonishing. ↗

We have gotten some terrible reviews at times but if we depended on the judgment of the studios or critics, we never would have made more than one movie. ↗
