The universe is in change, life is an opinion.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinions than our own.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

Whoever worries only wears himself out.

Work is a necessity for man. Man invented the alarm clock.

I enjoyed playing around with Paulie in the Rocky films, and it was a pleasure every three, four years, coming back seeing how the wardrobe is. Is he heavy? Is he thin? I had fun.

When you fail to see something, that doesn't mean I'm hiding it.

We grew up as poor people but we never knew poverty. I still love and miss the Somalia I grew up in. Things changed, when my father became a diplomat later on.

I feel like a physician, one who's done a scan of the patient's body and seen evidence of a potentially serious issue.

Work should never make me weary If I'm really meant to do it, But it soon becomes exhausting If it's greed that drives me to it.

Possibly, I should have been a jazz singer from the beginning.

I love the intimacy of making movies. The focus is deeper and much more intense than musical theatre.

I'm an actor and I like having attention. There's a reason I like being on stage and in front of the camera, and it's that interaction.
