Everyone has their challenges.

You have to love what you do, and you have to need it like you need air. And there's nothing else that would give me the same degree of satisfaction as acting, which is why I can't walk away from it.

Confidence is at the root of so many attractive qualities - a sense of humor, a sense of style, a willingness to be who you are no matter what anyone else might think or say.

A great book provides escapism for me. The artistry and the creativity in a story are better than any drugs.

You only cry for help if you believe there is help to cry for.

Prison Break is so far-fetched, I had to make viewers believe that Michael is capable of making the impossible possible.

Death, taxes and childbirth! There's never any convenient time for any of them.

God's breath is like a fresh wind that renews us. Frail and weak as we are, we have hope. We find healing.

The death of the forest is the end of our life.

Rejection is a common occurrence. Learning that early and often will help you build up the tolerance and resistance to keep going and keep trying.

I cannot think of any work that could be more agreeable and fun than making books for children.

A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended.

The student has his Rome, his Florence, his whole glowing Italy, within the four walls of his library. He has in his books the ruins of an antique world and the glories of a modern one.

I am also an artist. I have the whole world as my canvas. I paint souls.

The minute you take away somebody the public's voting for, you're screwing with the program. There's no logic to it.

If I could email my jokes to the crowd and get the same immediate response [as during stand-up], I'd do that.
