First of all, I'd like to say here the fact that I'm not naturally a craftsman has made me work very hard.

Yes, because when you're in love, you are shy.

My life is full of mistakes. They're like pebbles that make a good road.

Here in America we're doing the most wonderful crafts.

You know, God, the power that makes life, whatever it is, had just to make two things, masculine and feminine, for all this mischief. And made them so there is this entirely different point of view about love and sex.

You know, acting is very fascinating. But being an actress is not, because you become so concentrated on yourself.

And then a great thing in my life was going to India.

Well, I don't go out much socially. I don't enjoy going out.

A rich poet from Harvard has no sense in his mind, except the aesthetic.

But I was very, very unhappy because my mother was very charming and generous, but to me, very dominating.

And several galleries - two had asked me and I said no, because I didn't want to leave things on consignment.

But you can't realize, you can't know what another person goes through.

Over and over I'm on the point of giving it up.

I don't like to sell my finest pieces.

Certainly I was relatively a refined person. No way a tramp.

There's so much more to life than that, though I think that acting is fascinating because you can forget your own sorrow as you act and become somebody else.

And I have exposed myself to art so that my work has something beyond just the usual potter.

I'm not too interested in books about India.

The second time I was there I met Marcel Duchamp, and we immediately fell for each other. Which doesn't mean a thing because I think anybody who met Marcel fell for him.

But, you see, the theatre is not always art in America.

You see, I was never stage-struck the way most girls were.

And then, of course, most potters, they go in for earth tones and subdued things, and I like color.

I was in a convent for a year.

Sex is energy.

First of all, I'd like to say here the fact that I'm not naturally a craftsman has made me work very hard.

And I think maybe all women, if they just had a chance, would be romantic and believe in love and not sex. And men believe in sex and not love.

I happen to believe that there is an afterlife.

A rich poet from Harvard has no sense in his mind except the aesthetic.

At the end, the realization is that she had to get to a place in her life where she could drop her guard and make peace with the fact that whether she had a small amount of time, that she had to kind of live it completely through, instead of living by the rules.

President Johnson and I have a lot in common. We were both born in small towns and we're both fortunate in the fact that we think we married above ourselves.

The fact is I've been in Massachusetts for the last two weeks, and it seems over the last few days that the price is increasing by the hour at the pump, so there needs to be an aggressive investigation.

In fact, it is a farce to call any being virtuous whose virtues do not result from the exercise of its own reason.

The fact that it's science fiction gives you the license to do anything you want to do.

It has to do with the fact that Ford, for all his greatness, is an Irish egomaniac, as anyone who knows him will say.

I never knew a more presumptuous person than myself. The fact that I say that shows that what I say is true.

I think the fact that I'm so well known to be gay makes it very difficult to have a convincing relationship with a woman on screen. It wouldn't be at all difficult for me to kiss a woman - I'll kiss a frog if you like.

People expect us to be different, but we're not. We're very similar people, and it's because we're so similar and close to each other that we make each other laugh - in fact we make each other laugh more than we make anyone else laugh.

I can't tell you how hard I worked the last year. In fact, I worked so hard that I know I can't maintain that same work level in 2001, so I've got to quit something.

The miracle of light pours over the green and brown expanse of saw grass and of water, shining and slowly moving, the grass and water that is the meaning and the central fact of the Everglades. It is a river of grass.

The fact is that young people are going to have sex whether you like it or not.

We have stabilized our economy. We took over a very sick economy, and we were hemorrhaging 750,000 jobs a month. We have stopped the hemorrhaging. In fact, we had 140,000 job growth last month. And that's what I call progress.

As a matter of fact they'd blacken us down. I guess there's a reason that according to what the Caucasian wanted us to look like. He wanted us to look-if we were Black, then he had his idea of what we look like.

I felt pretty comfortable with Westerns, apart from the fact I couldn't ride.

There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the later ignorance.
