Just the other day, it seems, the kids were running through the house, slamming doors, breaking glass, making noise. Time goes by so quickly. Sometimes everything seems so fleeting.

Acting coaches in Hollywood were always telling me to use my hands and body more. But that was never me. I just breathe and sometimes it doesn't look as if I'm doing that.

My only regret in life is that I didn't spend as much time with my kids as I now wish I had.

We also own a little boat and I'm like a kid with it. I take off early in the morning, fishing rod in tow, and just drift about the ocean all day.

That I can't relate to today's music or morals doesn't make either necessarily bad. Just different. I leave the judgements to others.

People have always thought that I wasn't ambitious. They judged by appearances and were fooled. I was competitive. I wanted success and was willing to work for it.

I had 13 weeks off and I would pack up the family and drive to some mountain retreat where we could be together and fish all day. I loved it. I needed it.

I worked with the world's greatest talents and then went home to the world's greatest woman. It was, and is, a great life.

The bluest skies . . . are in Seattle.

In many ways, that affection is the real reward for 56 years in the business. Although the money ain't exactly bad either.

That was the best of all. To speak the truth and be attended.

When an invincible weapon deals with an impenetrable defense, war is useless. The wisest decision is to ceasefire and do synergy.

Very astute, Harry, but the mouth organ was only ever a mouth organ." - Albus Dumbledore

We cannot wait for governments to do it all. Globalization operates on Internet time. Governments tend to be slow moving by nature, because they have to build political support for every step.

The great wisdom traditions of the world all recognize that the main impediment to living a life of meaning is being self-absorbed.

I think I like ‘mundane’ better than ‘bloodsucker,’” Simon muttered. “With Jace, you don’t really get to choose your insulting nickname.” -Simon and Clary, pg.234-

The strength of every democracy is measured by its commitment to the arts.

Whoever originated the cliche that money is the root of all evil knew hardly anything about the nature of evil and very little about human beings.

I remember my father explaining, "A capitalist system is a dog-eat-dog system."

Affirmative action was always racial justice on the cheap.
