He who does not get fun and enjoyment out of every day ... needs to reorganize his life.

In this life we get only those things for which we hunt, for which we strive, and for which we are willing to sacrifice.

It is a great thing to have a big brain, a fertile imagination, grand ideals, but the man with these, bereft of a good backbone, is sure to serve no useful end.

When I can read my title clear To mansions in the skies, I'll bid farewell to every fear, And wipe my weeping eyes.

[Preparing for award shows] gets insane. The dress, the hair, the makeup...I end up always picking the dress at the last second.

How often have I tried just hard enough so that I can then say to myself that I tried with the real purpose of assuaging my guilt about something I did not wish to succeed in the first place?

It is not for me to change you. The question is, how can I be of service to you without diminishing your degrees of freedom?

I've done so many interviews over the years in so many different languages. Radios. Papers. Magazines. There's always another interview to do. It's quite something, I have to say.
