You would never dream of going on to play a scene in front of an audience at least without having rehearsed it. But you do somehow in front of a camera.

I never imagined it wouldn't work out for me. I had that absolute certainty in myself that has seen me through, I think, and my parents were absolutely behind me all the way.

Above all things I believe in love.

My heart aches completely, every hour, every day, and only when I'm with you does the pain go away.

Then, one day, when you least expect it, the great adventure finds you.

Often, on the brink of finding the recipe for immortality, I get distracted by the frightful presence of death.

I think if I were to get as big as I could get, it does change your mind-state. I think like the little man. I think like the underdog. I don't want to change that.

Sometimes it's easier to see the madness in others---but we also have to see it in ourselves.

It's what I call "mental masturbation", when you engage is some pointless intellectual exercise that has no possible meaning.

The child will reveal himself through work.

Force and right are the governors of this world; force till right is ready.
