The only thing that makes battle psychologically tolerable is the brotherhood among soldiers. You need each other to get by.

If we strive and continue fighting as best we can, we can overcome a lot of the personal and professional problems that we do have.

Real answers need to be found in dialogue and interaction and, yes, our shared human condition. This means being open to one another instead of simply fighting to maintain a prescribed position.

Success and failure are emotional and physiological experiences. We need to deal with them in a way that is present and calm.

We are engaged in a struggle that is fought on many fronts and in many forms.

There comes a time when deceit and defiance must be seen for what they are. At that point, a gathering danger must be directly confronted. At that point, we must show that beyond our resolutions is actual resolve.

Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.

Concentration and mental toughness are the margins of victory.

I think that our weakness is understanding that when we go to war, we go to war to win.

I find that communication as an actor and person is an important part of who I am. And I'm really drawn into the psychology of those dynamics.
