Never invest in any idea you can't illustrate with a crayon

I was thrust into a really lofty, enviable, but isolated position with 'Princess Diaries' in that I could carry a film before I really knew if I could act.

The military operation in Lebanon was the most successful military operation in recent Israeli history. Many in Israel don't recognise that.

Chronicles are not explanatory of what they record.

I think the entire world is going to be united against us.

I have a cause higher and nobler than my own, a cause to which all private interests and concerns must be subordinated.

Comedy is created when someone is trying very earnestly to do what he feels is the right thing to do at that moment.

Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats.
