It is a good thing to learn caution from the misfortunes of others.

I'm 68 years old, and I'm as much a criminal now as I was at the age of 22. And, I'm even more of a dissident than I was then.

Education makes children less dependent upon others and opens doors to better jobs and career possibilities.

Don't sell your soul to buy peanuts for the monkeys.

The only things that old age comes standard with: grey hair and wrinkles. Wisdom and intellect are earned.

Well, it is true. Sometimes avoiding something can give it more and more meaning rather than less and less.

In the full light of day, I don't want to think about the sunset.

Therefore, the church is not absolutely necessary as an object of faith, not even for us today, for then Abraham and the other prophets would not have given assent to those things which were revealed to them from God without any intervening help of the church.

I hit the trifecta on 'Law & Order': I did the original recipe, extra crispy and the Colonel's special.

I never wanted to be an actor, and to this day I don't. I can't get a handle on it. An actor wants to become someone else. I am a song-and-dance man, and I enjoy being myself, which is all I can do.

It's always been my mom and I against the world.

Intensely selfish people are always very decided as to what they wish. They do not waste their energies in considering the good of others.

Our fighters would be nowhere if they didn't have the support coming from folks like those that served with me.

Yet, it's our emotions and imperfections that make us human.

They remember me as this shy girl sitting under the table. But they obviously didn't know what was going on in my head.

As an actor, my main focus is finding good writing and attacking a good role.

Totem poles and wooden masks no longer suggest tribal villages but fashionable drawing rooms in New York and Paris.

I don't digitally manipulate my images, because I am interested in the spontaneous act of creating images without forethought. I know many artists start with an idea in mind, and then they put it on paper. I don't work that way.

I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.
