I am begining to look more and more like my miserable imitators.

To generalize on women is dangerous. To specialize on them is infinitely worse.

A man should control his life. Mine is controlling me.

Women are not in love with me but with the picture of me on the screen. I am merely the canvas on which women paint their dreams.

An American may speak love with his lips; the Italian must say it with his eyes.

I became to myself an imaginary figure of great excellence, daring and glamor.

I have been deeply touched by the many telegrams, cables and letters that have come to my bedside. It is wonderful to know that I have so many friends and well-wishers both among those it has been my privilege to meet and among the loyal unknown thousands who have seen me on the screen and whom I have never seen at all.

I used to go to the stables and fool with the mules. My mother lived in constant fear that I might be brought home with a hoof print on my stomach.

I usually played out and out heavies. No one else 'saw' me in any other role. No one else had ever believed I could be anything but a heavy. It was a heavy in a picture with Clara Kimball Young that June Mathis saw me and decided to cast me as Julio. 'There is the man for Julio,' she said, 'He, and no one other.'

If the Italian is the most passionate lover in the world, it may be because he is the most restrained. Rigid convention denies him all contact with the lovelier girls, who never are free from chaperons.

June. June Mathis. No, no one else, ever. She gave me my start. She first, of all people, believed in me.

My father happened to be a doctor, and though I loved and idealized him privately, professionally I never had any use for him or anyone connected with that science.

Some of the tributes that have affected me the most have come from my 'fans' - friends - men, women, and little children. God bless them. Indeed, I feel that my recovery has been greatly advanced by the encouragement given me by everyone.

The loneliest ebb of my life came on that Christmas eve, only one day after my arrival in New York. The abyss of loneliness. I ate a solitary dinner in a small cafe, and the very food tasted bitter with my unshed tears. One doesn't dare cry in America. It is unmanly here.

The part I like best was my role in 'Blood and Sand.' If I had died, I would have liked to be remembered as an actor by that role - I think it my greatest.

A wonderful emotion to get things moving when one is stuck is anger. It was anger more than anything else that had set me off, roused me into productivity and creativity.

I pay attention to lyrics and I know what rap fans care about. I try to write for the average listener and I'm conscious of the mainstream without selling out.

Mix idealism with realism and add hard work. This will often bring much more than you could ever hope for.

I love to act and put on a show, but you're playing a character all the time. For music, it's really just me being myself.

I don't speak for all Libertarians any more than Sean Penn speaks for all Democrats.

Music is therapy. Music moves people. It connects people in ways that no other medium can. It pulls heart strings. It acts as medicine.

For any YouTuber, if you're too nervous to have somebody else document, it may be that what you're putting out there isn't authentic.

Sleep is when all the unsorted stuff comes flying out as from a dustbin upset in a high wind.

If an educational act is to be efficacious, it will be only that one which tends to help toward the complete unfolding of life. To be thus helpful it is necessary rigorously to avoid the arrest of spontaneous movements and the imposition of arbitrary tasks.

There is no free lunch, so if you're playing with the big train set - on big movies - it's a lot of money they're entrusting you with, and you have to get that money back for them. I don't take that responsibility lightly.

Libraries have a PR problem - or at least that's what they call it when no one under the age of 40 walks through the door. To bring in a younger crowd, the paper pushers have turned to tech to bring in the public. DVDs, CDs and, yes, even videogames are hitting the shelves of your local library.

The oldest principle of composition: repeat everything.

I don't think I represent all things dubstep. I just like clubbing, so those are the sounds I've chosen to work with.

I love exploring New York and I think that's what is so exciting about it. You find places that you've never heard of or seen before all the time.

Science at its best is an open-minded method of inquiry, not a belief system.

I always say to young people when they ask me how I work, I always say to them, the only time you've ever going to do something good is if you have a good client. And by good I mean all kinds of things.

Everything that came to me, in terms of the ritzier side of performing, was a plus.

I think the best thing you can hope for, as you continue on, is to learn so much from every job.

I don't care who's on the label, because I have a job to do.

I would fain grow old learning many things.

Life happens. Adapt. Embrace change, and make the most of everything that comes your way.

The most dangerous area where our laws are not being faithfully executed are the laws designed to protect Americans against the millions of aliens who enter our country illegally every year.

I'll never put my memoirs in print.

My mom was always the support. I can always go out to her and she'll always find the positive in things.
