Đừng cố lấp liếm khuyết điểm, đôi khi chúng giúp chúng ta thực sự dễ dàng được mọi người chấp thuận

Yêu chính bản thân mình là bắt đầu cho cuộc sống lãng mạn

Việc đánh giá bản thân ở mức thích hợp là điều rất quan trọng, nó giúp ta hài lòng với cuộc sống của mình

Chỉ có phương pháp hoặc hành động là thất bại - đừng tự đánh giá thấp bản thân và dằn vặt quá mức

Khi so sánh mình với người khác, hãy nhìn vào sự "khác biệt" thay vì "khoảng cách"

Có thể nhìn nhận cả sở trường và sở đoản của bản thân, không phủ nhận những nhược điểm của mình, tìm cách phát huy hết phẩm chất con người mình là điều thật đáng quý

Những người cứng nhắc, hay bắt ép bản thân thường yếu đuối trước thất bại, luôn phủ định bản thân

Hãy quyết chiến với chính mình trong quá khứ!

Cảm thấy hạnh phúc với sự trưởng thành (từ vấp ngã) - còn quan trọng hơn thành tựu của đời người 

Điều quan trọng là chúng ta phải cảm thấy ta đang trưởng thành (nếu ta thực sự đang trưởng thành mà không cảm nhận được điều ấy, thì cũng không thể thoả mãn được nhu cầu của bản thân). Hãy ghi lại 3 điều mà mình học được mỗi ngày

Con người có 3 loại nhu cầu: nhu cầu tồn tại, nhu cầu quan hệ và nhu cầu trưởng thành

Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.

If things are going wrong in a country, it's not usually that we don't have enough foreigners. It's usually that we have too many.

It is easier to love humanity as a whole than to love one's neighbor.

In a world without any criticism at all, although there are many actors who would think they would be delighted to see that happen, would in fact be a far more problematic world than they could ever imagine.

I think a sequel is a waste of money and time. I think movies should illuminate new stories.

I submit that an individual who breaks the law that conscience tells him is unjust and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the very highest respect for law.

Anyone who takes the Bible seriously agrees that God hates suffering. Jesus spent most of his time relieving it. But when being healed becomes the only goal - 'I'm not letting go until I get what I want' - it's a problem.

I have a weak spot for late '60s-early '70s yippie paperbacks and protest manifestos. I find them at flea markets or online. One of my favorites is 'Right On,' a compendium of student protests made into this 95-cent paperback with the most amazing graphics.

No part of the education of a politician is more indispensable than the fighting of elections.

I knew that I wanted to be an actor; how to go about it was the question. I went to Australia for my studies; from there I told my dad that I also want to do a course in performing arts, but my father refused. So I completed my studies and came back. But I kept poking him, saying that acting is something that I want to do.

I like to let things breathe.

If you drop a line in the theatre, you can usually find a way round it. But you can't do that as easily on television - you're in the hands of too many people.

The point of that is, if you look at Walgreen's history, they've always been pioneers in the application of technology. They're the only drugstore chain that I know to have their own satellite.

I think the older you are, the more you're going to cling to the printed word as being sacred.

Good advice is one of those injuries which a good man ought, if possible, to forgive, but at all events to forget at once.

My wife and I now live in the summers in northern Michigan in an environment which is wonderfully conducive to research, and where most of my work in the last 15 years has been done.

Liberty is obedience to the law which one has laid down for oneself.

I commissioned this artist to make these silver tomahawks by hand. Larry Sellers, who plays Cloud Dancing on the show, blessed and cleansed them and all.

'Midnight Nation' is really interesting.

The stock market clearly values companies that can deliver disruptive innovation.

There's no road map on how to raise a family: it's always an enormous negotiation.

As an actress, I think there is always a political consciousness there.

I went to dance classes from 9 in the morning until 1, then to school from 3 to 10 at night, always under the threat that if I failed a single course I could forget about dancing.

'High Stakes' was a very bad movie that I was cast in as a lead.
