The first thing one must remember about film is that it is a young medium. And it is essential for every responsible artist to cultivate the ground that has been left fallow.

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch.

Create your own visual style... let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.

Race hate isn't human nature; race hate is the abandonment of human nature.

Popularity should be no scale for the election of politicians. If it would depend on popularity, Donald Duck and The Muppets would take seats in senate.

My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people.

The essential is to excite the spectators. If that means playing Hamlet on a flying trapeze or in an aquarium, you do it.

If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends.

If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.

Personally, I don't like a girlfriend to have a husband. If she'll fool her husband, I figure she'll fool me.

At the end of the day, you control your happiness at peace.

Good people protect people they love even if that means that pretending that everything is okay.

The government can make laws, but only the God can give self-esteem where there is none

Notice when negativity spins in your head and disrupt it immediately before it has a chance to take hold and stick.

Many a man has fallen in love with a girl in a light so dim he would not have chosen a suit by it.

I wish the stage were as narrow as the wire of a tighrope dancer so that no incompetent would dare step upon it.

And sometimes when we listen, we are led into places we do not expect, into adventures we do not always understand.

Art to me is not precious enough that I feel territorial about what the word gets applied to. Conversations about what counts as art and what doesn't doesn't captivate my attention very much.

If you are playing bad you are going to lose here, on clay, on ice, or on the beach.

I truly would love to be a designer-label girl, but I am very much High Street.
