Change is such hard work.

My granddaughter's birth has made me want to create things she will love.

Nothing can take the sting out of the world’s economic problems like watching millionaires present each other with golden statues.

At 60, I could do the same things I could do at 30, if I could only remember what those things are.

By the time a man is wise enough to watch his step, he's too old to go anywhere.

I'm going to go on just living and laughing and loving.

It is better to look good than to feel good.

What's so fascinating and frustrating and great about life is that you're constantly starting over, all the time, and I love that.

To be good, you need to believe in what you're doing.

A laugh is a weird sound, and when you get a couple thousand people making it at once, it's really strange. But when I can feel proud of myself for causing it, it's great.

You give up your dream, you give up.

My heart was in a perpetual state of sadness and the only relief I could find were in those cathartic cries. I lived a fragile existence.

Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back.

People think they need to be at a ski-inski-out resort, but the reality is it's not such a big deal to jump on a shuttle.

The augmentation of slaves weakens the states; and such a trade is diabolical in itself, and disgraceful to mankind.

With each victory of the light, it is the dark that wins.

Dependency is death to initiative, to risk-taking and opportunity.
