I'm comfortable being old... being black... being Jewish.

Change is such hard work.

My granddaughter's birth has made me want to create things she will love.

Nothing can take the sting out of the world’s economic problems like watching millionaires present each other with golden statues.

At 60, I could do the same things I could do at 30, if I could only remember what those things are.

By the time a man is wise enough to watch his step, he's too old to go anywhere.

I'm going to go on just living and laughing and loving.

It is better to look good than to feel good.

What's so fascinating and frustrating and great about life is that you're constantly starting over, all the time, and I love that.

To be good, you need to believe in what you're doing.

A laugh is a weird sound, and when you get a couple thousand people making it at once, it's really strange. But when I can feel proud of myself for causing it, it's great.

It is not good to make everyday decision based upon what we see and what other people are saying or thinking

The high is what you crave, what you would kill for... and believe me, you will lie to yourself until it's to late to stop.

You can wish for things in the future to be different, but in this moment you have to accept things as they are.

I had no books at home. I started to frequent a public library in Lisbon. It was there, with no help except curiosity and the will to learn, that my taste for reading developed and was refined.

Evie didn’t mind yelling, but she hated feeling judged. It got under her skin and made her feel small and ugly and unfixable.

Silence your critics. Ignore your haters. Delete your cynics.

Maybe one day I can have a reunion with myself.
