We don't thrive on military acts. We do them because we have to, and thank God we are efficient.

One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.

We do not rejoice in victories. We rejoice when a new kind of cotton is grown and when strawberries bloom in Israel.

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life.

Life is nothing but a memory. People who dwell on the bad ones aren't going to have a whole lot of good ones coming up.

Performance has to be mainstream art. This is what I'm fighting for.

New York is a lot more fun than L.A.

When I tried to branch out into comedy, I didn't do very well at it, so I went back to doing what I do naturally well, or what the audience expects from me - action pictures.
