It's no use growing older if you only learn new ways of misbehaving yourself.

A little inaccuracy sometimes saves a ton of explanation.

Hors d'oeuvres have always a pathetic interest for me; they remind me of one's childhood that one goes through wondering what the next course is going to be like - and during the rest of the menu one wishes one had eaten more of the hors d'oeuvres.

You needn't tell me that a man who doesn't love oysters and asparagus and good wines has got a soul, or a stomach either. He's simply got the instinct for being unhappy highly developed.

Great Socialist statesmen aren't made, they're still-born.

His socks compelled one's attention without losing one's respect.

When I go to Atlanta, I'm famous. I can get on a flight, anything. Because they're watching every show, and if you're black, you famous.

The first time that I saw people actually make the thing that I wrote was my first episode of 'Six Feet Under.' It was called 'Back To The Garden.'

Why don't you talk, and go straight, and let all be well?

If, through death penalty, we can create fears, though it's against my will, we have to do it.

I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.

I'm a real person, and I'm angry. I'm trying to use this celebrity thing to get people some help. AIDS, poverty, racism - I want to be one of the hands that helps stop all that. I'll put it on my shoulders. I'll charge it to my account.

I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite.

I'm all-American. Sexy but not intimidating. Not the kind of woman who's going to steal someone's husband.

Personal relationships are usually my biggest inspirations for writing my songs. The best way for me to write a song is to visualise the story in my head, and I start humming a melody, and before you know it, a song is born.

That's the one thing I probably don't like about politics - the focus on the individual. To me, it's more important to get it done, whether I get the credit for it or not.

Most of my mail comes from young people.

The weird thing with 'Kismet' is that Vincente Minnelli didn't know what to do with a Cinemascope camera for that film - so he never moved it! It's like in the old days when sound first came in and was so complicated that the camera just sat there. There are hardly any close-ups in 'Kismet,' so everything's at a bit of a distance.

I've always helped polo to grow.

There is nothing safe about sex. There never will be.

Sweden is a small country and, well, our family's pretty prominent in that world, I guess. And I really didn't like the sound of just being 'the fourth acting Skarsgard.'

Never lose a holy curiosity.
