I envy my daughter's childhood.

Being married, I would say most relationships are pretty codependent in some ways.

I wanted Raging Bull. I wanted Casino. I got Rocky and Bullwinkle. But that's OK, because I still get to tell people I've worked with Robert DeNiro.

Do I get up some days and feel competitive? Sure. Do I get up some days and feel afraid? Of course. But...I have real moments of joy now, and I know it will continue.

I think all writers are different. I've been with a few writers; they're all different.

Maybe it's that I'm naive, but I don't think of myself as an age.

I always go into a film situation depressed and fearful.

I don't know much about sports.

Every day, every birthday candle I blow out, every penny I throw over my shoulder in a wishing well, every time my daughter says, 'Let's make a wish on a star, ' there's one thing I wish for: wisdom.

If I had to design a career for myself, I would have done comedy.

I have nothing against younger women and older men on screen. What is sad is that so many women over 40 who have so much to give aren't being considered to play opposite men their own age or younger.

Man, I can assure you, is a nasty creature.

More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.

I haven't took no punishment. There's nothing cool about taking punishment.

In what other business can a guy my age drink martinis, smoke cigars and sing? I think all people who retire ought to go into show business. I've been retired all my life.

To be a value investor, you have to be willing [and able] to suffer pain.

One of my few shortcomings is that I can't predict the future.

I am a great mayor; I am an upstanding Christian man; I am an intelligent man; I am a deeply educated man; I am a humble man.

Energy flows where attention goes.

Grabbing hold of facts in the midst of shock is very Erudite of him.

The Lord will never permit me or any other man who stands as president of this church to lead you astray.
