Quentin Tarantino says ‘TOY STORY 3’ ripped his “f*cking heart out.”
“That last 5 minutes ripped my fucking heart out, and if I even try to describe the end, I’ll start crying and get choked up”
"I have no desire to watch the fourth movie. You literally ended the story as perfect as you could.”
In Casino, Sharon Stone refused to do audition.
“I’m not lining up with showgirls or 3,000 actresses.”
So she demanded a meeting with Scorsese, walked in, blew him away, and got the role on the spot.
Warren Buffett's most important lesson after a lifetime of investing has very little to do with stocks.
At Berkshire Hathaway's 250th anniversary celebration of America, Buffett was asked if he had a message for the thousands of shareholders sitting in the arena, many of whom have been his partners for decades.
He didn't talk about valuation. He didn't talk about moats, compounding, or holding forever.
He said this:
"The number one rule I give them is just the Golden Rule to others. I'm not a religious guy, but I mean, nobody said it any better in a couple thousand years than that, which may be why it's lasted to a certain degree, too."
For an investor whose career is built on long-term partnerships with shareholders, managers, and businesses, the logic runs deeper than it first sounds.
Buffett points out that a 2,000-year-old book on how to behave is still read more than anything written recently. And the rule inside it applies everywhere:
"That's true for everything from parenthood to being a boss to being, I mean, just everything in life. And it doesn't cost you anything. In fact, it's reflected in better behavior toward you."
Then he reframes it in a way that should resonate with any serious investor. This isn't sentimentality. It's compounding applied to relationships:
"So, I mean, it's a very selfish sort of thing in one sense, but I've never seen anybody that's unhappy that behaved that way. And I've seen a lot of people in a lot of different kinds of situations."
Earlier in the conversation, Buffett was asked about America's "special sauce" that has driven 250 years of prosperity, the same engine that built Berkshire. His answer was disarmingly humble:
"We've got a special sauce there, as a secret sauce. It's such a good secret that I don't know what exactly it is. But I do know this: that anybody that has a choice would choose to be born in America."
He admits the system was never designed perfectly:
"If you were drawing up dreams for the ideal society and you were to have this kind of GDP per capita and everything, you wouldn't design the inheritance laws. You wouldn't, I mean, you'd just do all kinds of things differently. But somehow it's worked. But that doesn't mean that we can't do better."
