I don't like to sell my finest pieces.

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.

I'm a hip-hop guy, and the first time I heard Eminem was in '96. He was on a record with Shabban Siddiq. I was like, 'Who is this guy? He's dope!' First album came out: awesome. Second album came out: awesome. Third album, I was like, 'Eh.' He started to get really successful. He wasn't 'mine' anymore.

I think quotes are very dangerous things.

Arizona... a land where a good spring is far better than a gold mine.

While this debate today is a belated effort to inform the American people, it is nevertheless an empty gesture. It is time to admit our mistake in Iraq and begin to bring our troops home with honor.

Well, I think part of my gift, or if I have one, is that I love listening.

When I can focus on something like guitar or painting, I do. I started painting people I admire, like Kerouac, Bob Dylan, Nelson Algren, Marlon Brando, Patti Smith, my girl, my kids.

When I first met Sam Mendes, I was a bit confused and said to him, 'I'm 50 years old. What am I going to do at 50 in a Bond film?'

The navy is like a socialist country. Efficiency isn't part of the jargon.

I live in New Hampshire. We're in favor of global warming. Eleven hundred more feet of sea-level rises? I've got beachfront property. You tell us up there, 'By the end of the century, New York City could be underwater,' and we say, 'Your point is?'

The present is a point just passed.

Better to be a nettle in the side of your friend than his echo.

The average teen today spends about 35 hours a week in front of a screen of some kind: iPod, movie, TV, video. And a lot of it is good, but a lot of it's not. And so I think you've got that five hours a day of media coming into your kid's head that's creating a lot of havoc out there.

A movie that I'm involved with and have a lot of love for, which is 'On The Road,' does use a lot of handheld. It can be done beautifully. I'm proud of that. It's a very beautiful movie.

Intention is one of the most powerful forces there is. What you mean when you do a thing will always determine the outcome. The law creates the world.

Understand and accept the cycles of money. The setbacks you may have today or next year will not keep you from financial freedom. If you hold on to your goals and dreams, you will get there.

And the VCR did the same thing: the movie industry thought nobody would ever watch movies any more.

I will move to Dera, Beas, post-transitioning my executive responsibilities at Fortis.

I realized that everything important in sci-fi showed up in the magazines first. It's the proving ground for new writers and new ideas.

We all know the mortality of companies is less than human beings.

Rio's a beautiful city, a vibrant place, special place.

I think your life is governed not by the bricks or mortar around you its governed by who holds your hand and who spits in your eye.
