The universe is not in a steady state; there's an ongoing creative principle in nature, which is driving things onwards.

I realized that people don't quite understand what I do when I was the new kid on the block and a lot of Hollywood was offering me fairly cheesy projects.

Little hearts, little souls give little lusts big power. Big hearts give little lusts little power.

A speech is poetry: cadence, rhythm, imagery, sweep! A speech reminds us that words, like children, have the power to make dance the dullest beanbag of a heart.

Tell him, we are not devils but we have friends who are.

Inflation is bringing us true democracy. For the first time in history, luxuries and necessities are selling at the same price.

At the end of the season, I normally get some time off training and can go on vacation and enjoy myself.
