Beauty is one of the rare things that do not lead to doubt of God.

We poison our lives with fear of burglary and shipwreck, and, ask anyone, the house is never burgled, and the ship never goes down.

Love is, above all, the gift of oneself.

However tight I shut my eyes, there will always be a stray dog somewhere in the world who'll stop me being happy.

Believe me; all evil comes from the old. They grow fat on ideas and young men die of them.

The object of art is to give life a shape.

Our entire life, with our fine moral code and our precious freedom, consists ultimately in accepting ourselves as we are.

Each of us has a day .. when he has to accept, finally, the fact that he is a man.

The only immorality is not to do what one has to do when one has to do it.

The object of art is to give life shape.

Things are beautiful if you love them.

Let's go invent tomorrow instead of worrying about what happened yesterday.

Truth is a kaleidoscope - it alters with perspective

When I was growing up, I thought I'd be a lot happier if I was famous and successful and if I had money.

Facts mean nothing when they are preempted by appearance. Do not underestimate the power of impression over reality.

I grew up on a dairy and beef farm.

I was born a character actor.

The novelties of one generation are only the resuscitated fashions of the generation before last.

I definitely challenge people. But hopefully, I am working harder than anybody else, and so people won't resent the fact that I want them to work hard, as well.

Money is not the sole or most powerful motivation for many people. A higher and tougher test is to look back and see how you've made the world a better place.

Afterthought makes the first resolve a liar.
