Change is such hard work.

My granddaughter's birth has made me want to create things she will love.

Nothing can take the sting out of the world’s economic problems like watching millionaires present each other with golden statues.

At 60, I could do the same things I could do at 30, if I could only remember what those things are.

By the time a man is wise enough to watch his step, he's too old to go anywhere.

I'm going to go on just living and laughing and loving.

It is better to look good than to feel good.

What's so fascinating and frustrating and great about life is that you're constantly starting over, all the time, and I love that.

To be good, you need to believe in what you're doing.

I don't walk into the lab in the morning thinking, 'I am a woman, and I will carry out an experiment that will conquer the world.' I am a scientist, not male or female. A scientist.

My nostalgia is for the impossible.

You always want to keep your look clean and elegant, but you don't have to do the safe black-dress route. Have some fun! Wear something colorful with a hint of sparkle.

A soldier's longing to talk about his experiences of battle is a wound that never heals.

Romances in general are calculated rather to fire the imagination, than to inform the judgment.
