All my life, I've been frightened at the moment I sit down to write.

A true friend is the one who holds your hand and touches your heart.

Nobody deserves your tears, but whoever deserves them will not make you cry.

What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it.

I have learned that a man has the right and obligation to look down at another man, only when that man needs help to get up from the ground.

No matter what, nobody can take away the dances you've already had.

Tell him yes. Even if you are dying of fear, even if you are sorry later, because whatever you do, you will be sorry all the rest of your life if you say no.

Life is not what one lived, but what One remembers and how One remembers it in order to recount it

The only regret I will have in dying is if it is not for love.

Don't struggle so much, the best things happen when not expected.

If you love something - let. If it is yours - it will come back. I love you not because of who you are, but for who I am when I'm with you.

The worse they are the more they see beauty in each other.

Finish the work, otherwise an unfinished work will finish you.

The ladder of success is never crowded at the top.

Whatever my individual desires were to be free, I was not alone. There were many others who felt the same way.

I think every first-person narrator in a novel should be compromised. I prefer that word to unreliable.

[The dancing] was a challenge. It was fun, though. I was nervous, at first, because I danced so long ago that it was weird picking it back up.

In whatever sense this year is a new year for you, may the moment find you eager and unafraid, ready to take it by the hand with joy and gratitude.

I'm a pollster by trade, so I'm into things that are actually quantifiable.

You never get tired of making money, and you never get tired of a great acting gig, a same role that you can play for years, with wonderful writing and wonderful actors.

Life is a fight from the minute you take your first breath to the moment you exhale your last.
