I love kids. I was a kid myself, once.

In this life, it's not what you hope for, it's not what you deserve - it's what you take!

Psychiatry is a pseudoscience.... You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do...Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, you don't even -you're glib. You don't even know what Ritalin is.

I love what I do. I take great pride in what I do. And I can't do something halfway, three-quarters, nine-tenths. If I'm going to do something, I go all the way.

Nothing ages like laziness.

I don't see my old films, but I think of the characters I played as friends, like the women I meet in my life who made strong impressions on me. I remember them and they are part of me.

To expect truth to come from thinking signifies that we mistake the need to think with the urge to know.

You would think that Halloweens tomorrow because of their attempt to scare the American public.

If you allow yourself to deepen with midlife, your experience of everything deepens, including your experience of God.

One must love everything.
