"Взрослые слишком часто живут рядом с миром детей, не пытаясь понять его. А ребёнок между тем пристально наблюдает за миром своих родителей; он старается постичь и оценить его; фразы, не осторожно произнесенные в присутствии малыша, подхватываются им, по-своему истолковываются и создают определённую картину мира".

"Если Вы хотите вырастить хороших детей, тратьте на них в два раза меньше денег и в два раза больше времени". Эстер Селсдон

"Самый лучший возраст у детей, это когда вы уже не водите их за руку, а они ещё не водят вас за нос".

I am not patient.

It's really hard to be on stage and packing your gear when people who just saw you play are in the room, because they all just want to talk to you.

Every decision that you make you have to be incredible congruent. It doesn't mean that you have to starve. If you need money, you do something that gives you money, that's normal.

Through the inspiration of Vaclav's words, the courage of his dissidence and the integrity of his leadership, Czechoslovakia successfully transitioned from an authoritarian state to a free democracy at the heart of Europe.

All you have to remember is 'audition' is synonymous with 'opportunity.' I mean, if you absolutely hate auditioning, do you also hate opportunities? That wouldn't make much sense.

The Republicans have a very traditional focus over and over again whether or not it's worked.

Contrast increases the splendor of beauty but it disturbs its influence it adds to its attractiveness but diminishes its power.

He who tampers with the currency robs labor of its bread.

Not all single women want to be married. Not all boys like football. Not all homemakers like to cook. Not all messy people are lazy. And not all the obese are gluttons. There are glands and diabetes and a dozen conditions you never heard of that may account for things. Put your sermon through the counter-stereotype sieve.

I do 100 shows a year, but I do it in fits and starts, as opposed to going on a long run.

One of the challenges for lawyers can be explaining, first of all, what the legal issue is and, second, its significance. And both of those are important.

I said in my mind, 'keep fighting.'

If you realized how beautiful you are, you would fall at your own feet.

We still have that same burn, to get that same kind of laughs. So whether the studio wants us to or not, we're going to do it. The money is just a byproduct of coming out with good stuff. Our whole thing is building that rapport with the audience.

I like sci-fi.

A line from one of my 1997 columns - 'Do one thing every day that scares you' - is now widely attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, though I have yet to see any evidence that she ever said it and I don't believe she did. She said some things about fear, but not that thing.
