Just because you work in the fashion industry, it doesn't mean you live your life in fashion.

I take acting very seriously. I put everything I have and know into it.

Anybody in the next centuries wanting to know what it was like to be a poet in the middle of the 20th century should read Kaddish.

Finance ministers must realize that the health budget can save them money if it's applied well.
