My focus is to not focus too much on one genre.

Myths have a very long memory.

The likelihood of success drops dramatically when you expand, especially in the services business. And there's a lot of capital that goes into opening another office.

There has to be chemistry in a duet, but if you go beyond the point of friendship and attraction, you lose something.

Before college, I acted in my room, to classical music, because music tells stories. I'd put on a record and proceed, silently. I'd keep putting the needle back to a certain segment because I hadn't died well enough. I had to really, really feel dead. I'd love to do a death scene.

Real talent will get through whatever the obstacles.

A war still rages over the legacy of the 1960s.

And in nineteen seventy two I almost wasn't, on the team, but I knew about it just before Olympic Games for three months before this why this is was not very good for me. I'd been ready to go, you know.

Computers were never designed in the first place to become musical instruments. Within a computer, everything is sterile - there's no sound, there's no air. It's totally code. Like with computer-generated effects in movies, you can create wonders. But it's really hard to create emotion.

Disney is a machine, and I'm grateful for it, but I feel like being part of that environment made me crave the reaction from other projects even more.

What does that mean for a society, for a democracy, when the people that you elect on the basis of promises can basically suborn the will of the electorate?

Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!

There was a time when researchers imagined that Plan B, or the morning-after pill, might become not an emergency form of contraception but a routine one; women would take it once a month to induce a period and never even know whether they had gotten pregnant.

To the soul, there is no past and no future; all is, and will be ever, in now. For artificial purposes time is mutually agreed on, but there is really no such thing.

I sailboat raced, I love to go out on my motorcycle alone, but I also love my family dearly. I love that aspect of my life as well.

The world can't tell you who you are. You've just got to figure out who you are and be there, for better or worse.

Beware of the gap: the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Simply thinking of the gap widens it, and you end up falling through.

Kindness is love and love is Kindness.When words are both true and kind, they can change the world.

Every comic went through their Mitch Hedberg phase - the glasses, the hair in the face - and you knew immediately when they were doing it.

The greatest danger to our future is apathy.

There is no sunrise so beautiful that it is worth waking me up to see it.

I always thought that I might retire from any form of sexuality by the age of 40 and just become a dignified older person.

By hating that person, you have lost something very sweet in yourself.

I had been overexposed in a particular way because my marriage to an extremely successful older man meant I was involved in his public life as well as my own.
