I've got America's best writer for $300 a week.

Some ticket buyers think they don't like Jews.

Since living is believing, no one can be completely lacking in faith.

One of the fantastic things about books fiction or non fiction is the way they give you a chance to look into different lives.

But even though all this was going on at home, if someone had tried to take me away and put me in a children's home, I couldn't have handled it. Even though my mother was very brutal, it was my home.

The tragedy of life doesnt lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goals to reach.

It's taken a long time but eventually when I had the songs in place and demos right and I found myself a manager, that's when everything started happening quickly but I think that's always the way it is.

There is enormous value in face to face interaction.

We don't have to be perfect today. We don't have to be better than someone else. All we have to do is to be the very best we can.

We know the past and its great events, the present in its multitudinous complications, chiefly through faith in the testimony of others.

I believe that Ronald Reagan will someday make this country what it once was... an arctic wilderness.

I used to want to be in 'Downton' because I had never been in a period drama, but then I did 'The Suspicions of Mr Whicher' and had to wear one of those frocks and... I didn't feel very comfortable.

I am perfectly happy to believe that nobody likes us but the public.

A fan sent me a letter and a $10 bill. It's a short letter - all she said was, 'Hey, since it's harder for you to go out these days without getting photographed, here $10 for a pizza.' I was like, 'Aww, she sent me money for a pizza so I could eat at home!'

Harmony makes small things grow lack of it makes great things decay.

Sometimes interviews are fun and good conversations, but stuff like photo shoots and appearances at places where you have to meet a lot of people - I was never really made for this kind of stuff.

The majority is always wrong; the minority is rarely right.

A sibling may be the keeper of one's identity, the only person with the keys to one's unfettered, more fundamental self.

I respect the Japanese and especially like their execution and communication styles. Unlike the Koreans, they will not hit you from behind.

I'm half-Japanese, so I collect toys, like a Yayoi Kusama stuffed pumpkin.

There is need for more science in politics and less politics in science.

Discoveries are often made by not following instructions, by going off the main road, by trying the untried.

When I was younger, I'd make a point of driving to the middle of nowhere and spending an evening with just me, the wind, and the moon. Your skin crawls up an octave. This is what I tap into when I'm working on horror films. I'm just afraid a time will come when I lose touch with that part of myself.

The code of the road is, if there is anything to eat, eat; if there is a place to sit, sit; if there is a restroom, go.

You have to chase your dreams with all your heart.

Oh, I'm not a true genius. I'm a near genius. I would say I'm a short genius. I'd rather be tall and normal than a short genius.
