You can have either the Resurrection or you can have Liberace. But you can't have both.

When the reviews are bad I tell my staff that they can join me as I cry all the way to the bank.

You can have either the Resurrection or you can have Liberace. But you can't have both.

I cried all the way to the bank.

You know that bank I used to cry all the way to? I bought it.

You need a whole community to raise a child. I have raised two children, alone.

Poetry allies itself with beauty - a supreme union - but never uses it as its ultimate goal or sole nourishment.

I speak the language of television.

I didn't do this for other people; I did this for me. I fought for this right for me - does that sound selfish?

Flirting is the gentle art of making a man feel pleased with himself.

El Salvador is a democracy so it's not surprising that there are many voices to be heard here. Yet in my conversations with Salvadorans... I have heard a single voice.

Nobody wants to hear that you met Harry Truman... I met Harry Truman... But you know what I mean? Nobody's interested. They want to know you met Rihanna. And that kills me.

My mother always spoke to me in English, so it's technically my maternal language, and it became a kind of private language - I was happy that I could speak in English to my mum and the majority of people wouldn't understand it.

I like, though, that people have a hunger to connect with other people. They're desperate to know that you're not lying to them or misleading them.

On buses and trains, I always think about the inexhaustible variety of human genes. We see types, and occasionally twins, but never doubles. All faces are unique, and this is exhilarating, despite the increasingly plastic similarity of TV stars and actors.

Anytime there is an escapee we consider that escapee to be dangerous. The adrenaline is flowing. He wants to get away.

Looking back, the biggest mistake I made was feeling ashamed of it. Acne is a part of life. You don't need to be embarrassed of it.

I make napkins talk in restaurants, socks talk on car journeys. There is an awful lot of puppetry going on in the house.

I get up at sunrise. I'm a Buddhist, so I chant in the morning. My wife and I sit and have coffee together, but then it's list-making time. I have carpentry projects. We have roads we keep in repair. It's not back-breaking, but it's certainly aerobic and mildly strenuous.

Ive been on a diet for two weeks and all Ive lost is fourteen days.

It was both exciting and frustrating to work with an orchestral group.

Obviously social media has had a massive impact on the fame game, but not in a positive way. But it can be for some.

Washington, D.C. is what is broken, not the immigration policies. We have good laws. We have people suffer every day because of government's failure to enforce the law and be respectful to the process we have. We have a pathway to citizenship already in place.

Lumpy and lazy; I aspired to lethargy. In the second year of university, I missed half my classes just because I couldn't pull myself out of bed.

Brutality to an animal is cruelty to mankind - it is only the difference in the victim.

Here in L.A. the standard of beauty is kind of ridiculous. I want to be doing this when I'm in my fifties and sixties and this isn't what I'm going to look like.

I just love historical fiction.

I'm not sure you can lindy hop to 'We're All In This Together,' but I'm sure the nuns would welcome Zac Efron round for tea!

We are born princes and the civilizing process makes us frogs.
