I was at a point where I was ready to say I am what I am because of what I am and if you like me I'm grateful, and if you don't, what am I going to do about it?

I am quite surprised, that with all my work, and some of it is very, very good, that nobody talks about The Miracle Worker. We're talking about Mrs. Robinson. I understand the world... I'm just a little dismayed that people aren't beyond it yet.

There are always good parts. They may not pay what you want, and they may not have as many days' work as you want, they may not have the billing that you want, they may not have a lot of things, but - the content of the role itself - I find there are many roles.

So I think you have to marry for the right reasons, and marry the right person.

If you marry the wrong person for the wrong reasons, then no matter how hard you work, it's never going to work, because then you have to completely change yourself, completely change them, completely - by that time, you're both dead.

Life is here only to be lived so that we can, through life, earn the right to death, which to me is paradise. Whatever it is that will bring me the reward of paradise, I'll do the best I can.

I'd never had so much pleasure with another human being.

I don't quite jump for joy, but I am awfully glad to see him.

I just had a crazy, wild imagination all my life, and science fiction is the greatest outlet for me.

The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called ˜truth'.

Female spies typically represented one of two extremes: the seductress who employed her wiles to manipulate men, and the cross-dresser who blended in by impersonating them.

I used to never miss the 'New Yorker' or 'New York.' Now I never bother.

Soul mates recognise one another's vibration. They instantly fuse to the life force that surrounds their core of being.

I'm really not responsible for what mental operation people have when they're reading my books other than the ones which are created by literary effects.

The fans have always been there for us, and they've realized when we were going through a hard time.

I'm like a dude. Jordans are my favorite. I wear them all the time for shows. I can get girly-girly when I want to, but I can't perform in heels. I would bust my face open on stage, and we don't want that.

The American people do not have the information upon which they can hold the administration and responsible agencies accountable. I call that a coverup.

Today, public companies don't like the idea of conglomerates. People want to buy something in which they know where they are putting their money - into the food business or the oil and gas business. They don't want to put their money into a hodge-podge as a general rule.

If we are surrounded by the trivial and the vicious, it is all too easy to make our peace with it.

I absolutely hated high school. As a freshman, I was 5 feet tall and weighed 95 pounds... When I got to high school, I had no social skills. Was I a nerd? More of a dork. Definitely not one of the popular kids.

When you're on court, you just want to win. You're a competitor.

Just read one book a month and at the end of they year you would be totally different but an impressive personality.

My favorite parts of work as an actor and a director are those unplanned mistakes that do happen, because it's like catching lightning in a bottle. It's the best part of what we do.

I could not lose unless I was caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.

If we are to be who we are; if we are to accomplish great things; then we must learn the heart's most essential rule: NEVER SURRENDER DREAMS

I'm not in the loop; I don't know any actors, really, just the ones I work with.

I didn't exercise. I worked all the time, went home and went to bed.

Publishing the lyric books, poetry or comics of other musicians I know. That's the thing I really want to break into!

Women try to be the best everywhere, and it's impossible. I want my clothes to give women the freedom to just be - I want them to put on my dresses and shine.

I have three grandchildren and am hoping for 20.

In an undergraduate business environment, the best learning experience is the interaction students have with each other. They need to learn from each other as much as from professors and lectures and other teaching tools.

I've tried to write from my own understanding of identity in all my comics, whether it's about superheroes or historical conflicts or monkey gods.
