Don't follow trends, start trends.

My advice to young film-makers is this: don't follow trends, start them!

In our film profession you may have Gable's looks, Tracy's art, Marlene's legs or Liz's violet eyes, but they don't mean a thing without that swinging thing called courage.

Compassion is a two way street.

Film is one of the three universal languages, the other two: mathematics and music.

Whenever a situation develops to its extreme, it is bound to turn around and become its opposite.

A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something.

I made mistakes in drama. I thought drama was when actors cried. But drama is when the audience cries.

Don't follow trends, start trends.

Scriptwriting is the toughest part of the whole racket... the least understood and the least noticed.

If you want to send a message, try Western Union.

Nancy Lopez has always been a role model of mine... so to have the opportunity to play for her and spend time with her has been amazing.

Celebrities and 'famous' people are just regular folks. I know, it's a shocking and potentially dangerous statement.

I am certain that the Lord, who notes the fall of a sparrow, looks with compassion upon those who have been called upon to part, even temporarily, from their precious children.

I'm usually always very happy and funny and positive. It's only when I'm tired that I get a little low energy.

The situation of the Old Left was the theory of Socialist Realism, etc. It seemed pointless to argue. We stayed carefully away from people who wrote for the New Masses.

Few can contemplate without a sense of exhilaration the splendid achievements of practical energy and technical skill, which, from the latter part of the seventeenth century, were transforming the face of material civilization, and of which England was the daring, if not too scrupulous, pioneer.

I've never liked watching real-life couples play couples onscreen or onstage. It takes me out of the story.

Beatiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art.

Ignorance is like a delicate fruit; touch it, and the bloom is gone.

Worship the Silent Space in you.

Lester is the Rock of Gibraltar. Nothing can rattle him. I am not. I was always flying off the handle about things. And the one person who could calm me down and make me realize that none of this silliness mattered was Lester Holt.

I hate picking out outfits for events. That's why I always wear the same thing when I go out - OK, not exactly the same, but always something easy. If it isn't a big fashion event, it'll be jeans and a nice top.

I'm not a perfect person who doesn't mess up, eat bad, not work out - I do all those things. It's just for the most part, when I'm working, I don't feel like I have the choice. I have to bring my A-game.

For centuries, the horrors of war have been sculpted by artists so people would never forget.

I'll tell you sort of an odd story: My music taste changed on 9/11. And it's very strange. I actually intellectually find this very curious. But on 9/11, I didn't like how rock music responded. And country music collectively, the way they responded, it resonated with me.

I don't think my judgment is that good. I don't know what is funny.

Abuse yourself all you want - just leave animals out of it. Don't wear fur.

I love Hindi films.

Circles like the soul are neverending and turn round and round without a stop.

Chanel took women out of corsets and put them into the 'simple little black dress,' the perfectly tailored suit, the bell-bottom sailor pants, and jersey tops.

I live and love in God's peculiar light.

I've had a very fortunate career and I've loved every moment of it.
