I feel I should be doing stupid stuff, but I'm not going to.

Good things happen when you get your priorities straight.

Now my drug is writing or acting, being creative.

I never planned on being a plumber.

I can't sit still for 10 minutes.

Men should have rough hands and be strong.

I've got a little fight in me, but I think that's good.

If you don't have any fight in you, you might as well be dead.

Now I can't wait to write my next play.

And at the end of the day, if the movie's no good, I'll live to fight another day.

I feel I should be doing stupid stuff, but I'm not going to.

I was the bad kid in school. I was usually in trouble.

In Hollywood today, it's cool for guys to wear nail polish and earrings in their lips and tongues. I don't get it.

But with writing, all you need is a pad of paper.

I knew whatever I did, it was going to be big.

I just feel like if I do good work, then people should respect me for the work I do.

The left side of my brain is telling me I want to sleep with every woman in the world and the other side of my brain is telling me I met this great girl and if I let that go I'm going to regret it.

In the end, the work shows if you're good.

Since I was a kid, he's told me to learn from his mistakes.

I had that thing of wanting to prove I was a tough kid.

I liked being in the spotlight.

I was a scam artist in high school for a while.

To me, theater is the mecca; if you really love to act, that's where it's the most fun, by a long shot.

I just love women.

I want to create a little chaos and make people's heads turn.

Sometimes I wish I didn't have somebody in my family who's in the business.

Good, bad mediocre or whatever it is, if a director wants me in his movie, I take it as a compliment.

I've got a tough act to follow.

I'm never going to get in a fight in public again.

I was raised right. I dig who I am.

Don't ever forget two things I'm going to tell you. One, don't believe everything that's written about you. Two, don't pick up too many checks.

Full disclosure here - I had a terrible crush on Smokey Robinson, like every other female on the planet.

Two minutes later the right arm was pointing normally and the reaction to the left appeared. The patient made no complaint at all about the experiment.

I was never a huge 007 fan, but I sure liked Sean Connery. I'm sure Pierce Brosnan is good and has his moments, but I've not seen him; I've only seen bits and pieces on TV, so I can't really judge. Pierce looks very natural in the role.

Why did the Soviet Union disintegrate? Why did the Soviet Communist Party collapse? An important reason was that their ideals and beliefs had been shaken.

Art is subjective. I'm not looking for people's praise.

I appreciate art in any form. So it applies to clothes as well. On stage, I think people prefer me in Indian outfits... in fact, it goes with the kind of songs I sing as well. Indianness in the form of a sari, or a chaniya choli or jeans with something interesting, matches my style of singing.

Hypocrites get offended by the truth.

The guys that do have the confidence to hit on me are not necessarily my type, but they think they are because I'm a pop star; I sing songs, do movies. I like to feel sexy and confident on stage.

Movies are getting more and more expensive to distribute. You need a lot of money to get people into theaters.

I'm not into being competitive. I never saw myself as a competitive type of person.

You need a lot of leaders, but a hockey team needs a voice, not only in the community, but more importantly between the coaching staff and the players. There are always ups and downs in a season; the captain is the guy players look to in those situations.

Enough had been thought and said and felt and imagined. It was about time that something should be done.

As long as the shackles of wealth and property bind us, we will remain accursed forever and never attain the altar of humanity, which is life's ultimate goal.

We have a lot of people that are oppressed. We have a lot of people that aren't treated equally, aren't given equal opportunities. Police brutality is a huge thing that needs to be addressed. There are a lot of issues that need to be talked about, need to be brought to life, and we need to fix those.

And I'm the kind of manager that doesn't believe that you micro-manage professionals. They should understand their responsibility and carry out those responsibility.

In the summer of 1988, my father took me up to look at the remains of our home, the dream house that he'd built. It was my first time since our family left four years earlier. Political and obscene graffiti covered the half-torn walls. There was no ceiling and surprisingly no floor: the parquet, the stone, the marble, all looted.

Crying is never a symbol of weakness. For the time we are born it has always been a sign that we are alive....

To illustrate what I mean, an apt dancer may be in thorough unison with the others in that particular group, and at the same time reveal a difference in dancing temperament, rhythm or technique; she may phrase, accentuate or actually interpret differently.
