I climbed like a billion stairs... its not like I can take them two at a time.

I've been to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It's a tower, and it's leaning. You look at it, but nothing happens, so then you look for someplace to get a sandwich.

We don't even know if we're in this room. We could be in a turtle's dream in outer space.

The choices we make, dictate the lives we lead.

The whole point of love is to put someone else’s needs above your own.

A tree falls the way it leans. Be careful the way you lean.

Christmas is a good excuse to eat everything.

We did 'Erin Brockovich,' we did 'Man on the Moon,' we did 'Living Out Loud,' but now I'm going to keep going.

It's fun to be on the edge. I think you do your best work when you take chances, when you're not safe, when you're not in the middle of the road, at least for me, anyway.

I don’t look ahead. I’m right here with you. It’s a good way to be.

There are two dilemmas that rattle the human skull: How do you hang on to someone who won't stay? And how do you get rid of someone who won't go?

It is wrong to have an ideal view of the world. That's where the mischief starts. That's where everything starts unravelling...

Failures and mistakes are lessons to be learned from. They are opportunities for growth.

My themes are derived from current events, from familiar situations, from daily life, because I never actively intervene against the object, I can feel the magic of its presence.

Usually I get up early every morning and from 6:00 to 10:00 I write. The rest of the time I study and prepare my work or I do other things. But four hours a day are exclusively devoted to writing.

Humanity is the crime; God is the criminal.

The lovely loving and the hateful hates.

We are governed not by armies, but by ideas.

Girls like to see girls dressed up like princesses occasionally.

Every time a story about me appears in a newspaper, I am injured professionally.
