Ich lebe weder in der Vergangenheit noch in der Zukunft. Ich habe nur die Gegenwart und mir diese interessiert mich. Wenn du immer in der Gegenwart leben kannst, dann bist du ein glücklicher Mensch.

Erst die Möglichkeit, einen Traum zu verwirklichen, macht unser Leben lebenswert.

Denn alle Menschen haben immer genaue Vorstellungen davon, wie wir unser Leben am besten zu leben haben. Doch nie wissen sie selber, wie sie ihr eigenes Leben am besten anpacken sollen.

Plötzlich erkannte er, dass er die Welt entweder mit den Augen eines armen, beraubten Opfers sehen konnte oder aber als Abenteurer, auf der Suche nach einem Schatz.

Erinnere dich immer an das, was du erreichen willst.

Gib nie deine Träume auf, folge den Zeichen.

Je näher man an seinen Traum herankommt, um so mehr wird der persönliche Lebensweg zum eigentlichen Lebensziel.

Niemand muss das Unbekannte fürchten, weil jeder Mensch das erreichen kann, was er will und was er braucht.

Nur die Ausdauernden, nur diejenigen, die viel nachforschen, vollenden das große Werk.

Jeder lernt auf seine Weise. Seine Art ist nicht die meine und meine Art ist nicht die seine. Aber beide suchen wir unseren Lebensweg und deshalb achte ich ihn.

Probiere es aus.

Jeder einzelne Tag trägt die Ewigkeit in sich.

Jeder Tag ist dazu da, um gelebt zu werden oder um an ihm die Welt zu verlassen.

Es gibt nur eine Möglichkeit zu lernen und das ist durch Handeln.

Niemand kann vor der Stimme seines Herzens fliehen. Deshalb ist es besser, darauf zu hören.

Die Angst vorm Leiden ist schlimmer als das eigentliche Leid.

A child's life is like a piece of paper on which every person leaves a mark

I spent much of my childhood in northern Quebec, and often there was no radio, no television - there wasn't a lot to entertain us. When it rained, I stayed inside reading, writing, drawing.

I like to remind myself that every morning I'm making a choice to live.

I have nothing against turkey. We eat turkey for Thanksgiving in my house.

Yeah, I've done Jim Breuer's radio show a couple times, and I heard from Larry the Cable Guy when I got 'Mike & Molly,' wishing me congratulations. I'm always the last one to the party, man. But that's okay. I got there.

Everything is a piece of me, a moment of my life.

Kate Spade has great feminine classics and I love her bags. Designs by Rebecca Taylor, BCBG and Herve Leger are sexy and fun, and they work on my body.

Certainly, anyone whom I've witnessed, who has gone through something horrible and life-changing, has a sense of ironic humor, or an ability to look at the peculiarities of the world and find humor in it.

Hollywood still makes things. We still export a couple billion dollars' worth of product overseas. Original, new product. Some people might not agree that it's original or new, but basically it is.

You get the part, sign the contract and start to realize millions of people follow this guy and know more about your character than you do.

People love to see public figures get taken down a notch, and by the same token, everyone loves to be the center of attention, even when there's a target on their forehead.

For me, playwriting is and has always been like making a chair. Your concerns are balance, form, timing, lights, space, music. If you don't have these essentials, you might as well be writing a theoretical essay, not a play.

My wife likes me better when I'm writing. It centers me and makes me more calm. When I go a long time without writing, I start getting frustrated.

Rosa Parks' entire career has been one as working as a civil rights activist.

I just sing over hip-hop beats, you know. That's what I've been doing. That's what I started in '09 in my dorm room.

Kelly has a rather bad habit of interrupting.

Make sure you love what you do or it will eat you alive.

The most versatile lipstick you can own is a shade that's just a bit brighter than your natural lip color.

To pigeonhole a genre as being successful or unsuccessful is weird.

I could sing you a thousand and one doo-wop songs. I love the simplicity in that music. It's not super-poetic, it's just from the heart.

Whenever I write, I try and approach my stories from some kind of universal theme or idea or emotion.

I'm the worst person to tell anybody how to date.

What happens when you get any kind of entrenched power is that it just becomes kind of corrupt and self-serving.

I refuse to give up.
