Art is long, and the talk about it is even longer.

To read of human depravity in the police reports is one thing, to see it fall like a black shadow across one's life is another.

I believe half of the unhappiness in life comes from people being afraid to go straight at things.

What is a logical mind?... It is the antiseptic which destroys the bacilli of unreason whereby true happiness is vivified.

Women are cats ... and love to scratch even those they're fond of. Sometimes the more they love them the harder they scratch.

Women are women and can't help themselves.

Every man's first declaration of love is bathos--the zenith of his passion connoting perhaps the nadir of his intelligence.

In France the men all live in cafes, the children are all put out to nurse, and the women, saving the respect of mademoiselle -- well, the less said about them the better.

Don't be a genius, my son, it isn't good for anybody.

Children are the root of all evil.... Happy the man who has his quiver empty.

I think love is serious. It's like an invention: sometimes it lies deep down inside you, great and quiet--and at other times it racks you and keeps you from sleeping.

Because it is the nature of Dreams, and ONLY of Dreams, to define Reality. Destiny is bound to existence. Death is limited by what she will or will not accept.

That's what American democracy has come down to at these town hall meetings: old people and gun nuts, which is a terrible combination. I heard somebody yell 'AK-47!' and a lady yelled, 'Bingo!'

The flu-casters would draw out the maps and keep people engaged at regular intervals ... beaming it from the WHO bunker.

I'm kind of a quirky dresser usually. Like today, I'm actually pretty put together, but I dress kind of off sometimes, but that's just part of my personality.

I tend to stay up late, not because I'm partying but because it's the only time of the day when I'm alone and don't have to be on, performing.

For me performing has a lot to do with being fearless.

The problem is that when government controls the economy, those who can influence government keep winning, and everybody else just stays the same.

There is no magic to achievement. It's really about hard work, choices, and persistence.

I think the most important thing people can do to save our planet and the human race is to empower women!

Love is never any better than the lover.
