I am a minimalist. I like saying the most with the least.

Comedians are never really on vacation because you're always at attention... that antenna is always out there.

I think you should be a child for as long as you can. I have been successful for 74 years being able to do that. Don't rush into adulthood, it isn't all that much fun.

I love portraying the totally indifferent person.

I still feel thirty, except when I try to run.

You are the best, I accept, now leave attitude.

Be careful walking down the primrose path. You may find hell instead of happily ever after.

War is the science of destruction.

Exploratory research is really like working in a fog. You don't know where you're going. You're just groping. Then people learn about it afterwards and think how straightforward it was.

The good building is not one that hurts the landscape, but one which makes the landscape more beautiful than it was before the building was built.

It might be more useful, if not necessarily more true, to think of photography as a narrow, deep area between the novel and film.

One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.

I always admired Wonder Woman and the Incredible Hulk - but I don't know if I'd be a very convincing hulk.

People can live up to high standards, but they can't live up to perfection.
