Nothing you do particularly matters. But I'm not sure that's a great excuse for doing it poorly.

Failure's a natural part of life.

I've permitted myself to learn and to fail with some regularity. And that is probably the one thing I was given, and that I'm still grateful for.

And may the best of you - for it will only be the best of you, and even then only in the rarest and briefest moments - succeed in framing that most basic of questions, 'how do we live?'

I don't have a saviour or a royal family.

Art is not disposable. If you want it, you have to hold it and smell it and touch it and read the credits and enjoy it and put it on your wall.

Imagine how asleep or utterly unperceptive and clueless you would have to be not to see yourself as absurd for the most part.

I'd hate to see any film I'm involved in fail, especially artistically but also business-wise.

I think 1973 was the nadir of fashion. When you watch the coverage from that era, you're struck by the astonishing ugliness of the clothes.

It's not a gift of mine, but one given to me, to be able to criticise myself and not be crushed, by myself or by others.

Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.

You must be a blessing to other people while you are still on this earth

Home development is about wishful thinking. It's about capturing a dream.

If only our eyes were silver feathered wings, undoubtedly, we would lash-lift our shimmered lids to the highest of life's limitless heights...then innately, instinctively, intentionally we would fly.

I'm in mourning for my life.

The choices you make today design your future

I guess I'm the most successful man I know. I wouldn't trade places with anybody in the world.

I'm a street fighter. I'm ready for any kind of mixed martial arts that comes at me.

For God loves saving, not condemning, and therefore He is patient with bad people, in order to make good people out of bad people.

I think as long as people are around and can hear a record and hear people like Lester Young on a recording, there will always be a great inspiration for somebody to try to create jazz.

Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will be ended.
