There is nothing like the occasional outburst of profanity to calm jangled nerves.

There should be fireworks at last, when a dream dies.

The worst thing of all is standing by when folks are doing something wrong.

Life was like a batch of biscuits without the baking powder: flat, flat, flat.

It's the company, not the cooking, that makes a meal.

Our actions make the fragrance of our lives...Would you smell of plums? Or Vinegar?

The wren and the nightingale sound nothing alike, but think how dull the world would be without the songs of both birds.-Miss Kanagawa

I am the richest person alive (or at least one of!) because I get to do what I love as a career.

The lessons this life has planted in my heart pertain more to caring than crops, more to Golden Rule than gold, more to the proper choice than to the popular choice.

I've always been a bookworm. As I mentioned, I moved around a lot, and one of the problems with being the new kid is it takes a while to make new friends. But I always had my books.

Why did I keep hitching myself to dreams as big as that Montana sky? I was like Rooster Jim's chickens, with no way to fly that high.

Hope floats but effort propels.

Brutes leave ingratitude to man.

One of these days the dam of Gods mercy will give way to his justice.

The most beautiful form of compromise is forgiveness.

I believe I am a person with unusual talents. I think I'd be a liar or stupid if I were to deny that.

I've got a 27-inch waist. Before, I was stupid smaller. Finding clothes in the South was impossible.

Money isn't everything as long as you have enough.

For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

If two of your films don't do well, people say you're out in the cold and your career is over. One film does well, and you've had the best year of your life! I don't believe in all that's written.
