Albert Einstein on Teacher"If I am walking with two other men, each of them will serve as my teacher. I will pick out the good points of the one and imitate them, and the bad points of the other and correct them in myself."

"I really don't think there is anybody in the business with better eyes than Elijah Wood."
"That's one of the benefits of working on big budget films. You work with people who have a lot of experience and you get to learn a lot."
"Film is such a bizarre vehicle for acting. It's such a bizarre experience. I don't think you ever really get familiar with it. If you do get familiar with it, you're probably not that good anymore."
"I think it's really, really important to mix it up as an actor, to try to get as much kind of varied experience as you can, not only for your own personal growth as an actor but for the audience to keep them guessing about what you're going to do."
