I think there's something in the human psyche that we're titillated by the person who flies too close to the candle and their wings get singed.

Writing has never been a driving force within me.

I gravitated to acting out of a mixture of instinct, naivete and opportunity.

I always try to make my characters people, and yet I always want to entertain.

If you don't have dreams, you will end up working for people who do.

I also sort of find the idea that not only do actors want to please when they're onstage, I find actors really want to please off stage a lot of the time, don't they?

Feelings are universal, and if an actor's doing his job, I think he's making people sit there, and if it's in a movie or a theatre, going 'Hmm, yeah, I know that... I know that.

I've never sold my company or products.

Its who you know and who can help you.

I went to a lot of theatre schools, got a lot of training, did a lot of repertory where you do a different play every night. I took a lot of voice, movement, and acting classes.

It takes guts and humility to admit mistakes. Admitting we're wrong is courage, not weakness.

It was the responsibility of a senior fireman to teach as well as to do.

But mostly I just think I'am not the best person to demonstrate all the goodness humanity has to offer. I don't want you to be too disappointed when you realize that.

He is all fault who has no fault at all.

It used to be that people could be painfully boring in private. Facebook changed all that.

I'm very selective about what I write about, and whom I write about, and how much I write about somebody.

I am a pack of nerves while waiting for the moment, and this feeling grows and grows and grows and then it explodes, it is a physical joy, a dance, space and time united. Yes, yes, yes, yes!

When I beat Sonny Liston, I shocked the world. When I joined the Muslims, I shocked the world. When I beat George Forman, I shocked the world. I am from the House of Shock

My image of Jesus is someone who is exciting...Were he alive today, he would be causing havoc!

You either hate losing enough to change, or you hate changing enough to lose.
