I'm always the last person they go to with a sequel, because I'm the most skeptical. You know, I'm very proud of what we've done, and I don't want to screw up our series.

When you're young, there's so much that you can't take in. It's pouring over you like a waterfall. When you're older, it's less intense, but you're able to reach out and drink it. I love being older.

There's a lot of conning as part of our society, I think.

Never burn bridges. Today's junior jerk, tomorrow's senior partner.

Here's a vice: I say yes to too many things. I wish I had the guilty pleasure of saying no. My goal is to try to do less, but more fully.

Most people think that animals are third-class citizens. Very few people really see animals as "the others" with whom we inhabit this planet. They have equal rights with us.

Don't depend on other people's encouragement. It's never enough and never when you need it.

I'd rather have a small part in a movie I love than a bigger part in one I don't care about.

Usually it's the guys that don't follow you around, who you're attracted to!

It's rare when you have everything going perfectly all at the same time.

Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.

If you really want to eat, keep climbing. The fruits are on the top of the tree. Stretch your hands and keep stretching them. Success is on the top, keep going.

So the first step out of childhood is made all at once, without looking before or behind, without caution, and nothing held in reserve.

Holidays were invented so single women could overeat without feeling guilty.

The years have gone by quickly. Death sits in the seat next to me. We make a lovely couple.

It hurts like hell when the world won't invest in you. But it's excruciating, almost more than you can bear, when you don't believe and invest in yourself.

Better pointed bullets than pointed words.

I should like to repeat what I stated recently in the Jeddah Economic Forum in Saudi Arabia: It won't be the religion, but rather the world-view of some of its followers that shall be made current.

My goal is to speak the truth in love. There are a lot of people speaking the truth with no love, and there are a lot of people talking about love without much truth.
