I always say I'm Catholic - but a cultural Catholic. I wouldn't say I'm a spiritual person, although I pray every day.

The point isn't to know what you're doing. The point is to have an experience doing something.

Please remember me.

Of two friends, one is always the slave of the other, although frequently neither acknowledges the fact to himself.

French women don't eat Wonder Bread.

It’s what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.

Sometimes you just got to give yourself what you wish someone else would give you.
