Listen to the song of life.

If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun.

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.

As one goes through life, one learns that if you don't paddle your own canoe, you don't move.

Never complain. Never explain.

I have no romantic feelings about age. Either you are interesting at any age or you are not. There is nothing particularly interesting about being old - or being young, for that matter.

Life can be wildly tragic at times, and I've had my share. But whatever happens to you, you have to keep a slightly comic attitude. In the final analysis, you have got not to forget to laugh.

I have not lived as a woman. I have lived as a man. I've just done what I damn well wanted to, and I've made enough money to support myself, and ain't afraid of being alone

You politicians remain professional because the voters remain amateur.

If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased.

If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.

Where do you get dreams like this?

Age puzzles me. I thought it was a quiet time. My seventies were interesting and fairly serene, but my eighties are passionate. I grow more intense as I age.

I like the inspiration of the first take.

How do I relax? This might sound slightly ridiculous but I play the ukulele for at least an hour a day and I find something really blissful about it.

The figure is still the only thing I have faith in in terms of how much emotion it's charged with and how much subject matter is there.

If the first mark of a true and living church is love, the second is suffering. The one is naturally consequent on the other. A willingness to suffer proves the genuineness of love.

I design like I breathe. You don't ask to breathe. It just happens

Please God, let me hit one. I'll tell everybody you did it.

Any creed whose basic doctrines do not include respect for the creeds of others, is simply power politics masquerading as philosophy.

When I am playing well I think I play such boring tennis.
