I think you have more fun as a human being even though it is much more painful.

I wake up exhausted it's not morning. It's back to sleep to re-dream me. We're alone and we're happy. But there you are, angry with me

Not everyone who sleeps, wakes up the next day. You are blessed.Be happy.

When we're young we want to change the world. When we're old we want to change the young.

It wasn't enough, not nearly enough, but it was all there was.

I'm one of the most sensitive human beings on Earth -- and I know it.

The camera is really the play-by-play person.

A careful first draft is a failed first draft

Useless, idle, exploitative male chauvinist drone!

I'm the f***ing Prime Minister!
