Part of acting is always just being available emotionally and open to people.

Never say "never" about anything, because if you do, life has a way of humbling you.

History repeats itself over and over again, but most of us have short memories.

A lot of times in life, women want to talk, but men don't want to listen, and if they do want to listen, they turn it back to themselves.

Never take anything at face value. Dare to question and seek the truth.

The writers are very good about misdirection and changeups, and that's what's great about it. We always think we know what's going to happen and then they throw a curveball that you don't see coming.

Things don't happen that fast in real life.

Sometimes you meet someone at an inopportune moment and it doesn't work out, but then you see them again five years later and you're in different places and it's a better time.

I respond to women who have their stuff together, who are in charge, who don't need men to do things for them. I want a woman to have her own thing.

I see fans all the time. They're always very complimentary and they're always very eager to talk and to share their experiences or get a selfie. They're really, really loyal. And intense.

I'm embarrassed to say that I don't have a lot of hobbies. It's not because I don't have interests, it's just that I don't have the time.

There was a photograph of Trout. He was an old man with a full black beard. He looked like a frightened, aging Jesus, whose sentence to crucifixion had been commuted to imprisonment for life.

I hate and I love, and who can tell me why?

You hear all this whining going on, "Where are our great writers?" The thing I might feel doleful about is: Where are the readers?

He can feel no little wants who is in pursuit of grandeur.

Good health is the most important thing. More than success. More than money. More than power.

Thanks to my effort in the last 40 years, there has been more paper and film wasted.

The funniest things are the forbidden.

One of my greatest fears is not being able to change, to be caught in a never-ending cycle of sameness. Growth is so important.

I arrived in Hollywood and lived much of my life in America, but the fans did not really know me.

humanity is a cancer on the body of the world
