Personality is everything in art and poetry.

Live each day as if your life had just begun.

Correction does much, but encouragement does more.

The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. Whatever you think you can do, or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, power and grace.

Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.

Courage is the commitment to begin without any guarantee of success.

I never watched Friends, maybe because it was written by people straight out of college....The only way to avoid age discrimination in Hollywood is to die young.

This life is mine because of good luck. And because I reached out and took it.

And who is so barbarous as not to understand that the foot of a man is nobler than his shoe, and his skin nobler than that of the sheep with which he is clothed.
