What we frankly give forever is our own.

There is no heaven like mutual love.

Of all the kind of pains, the greatest pain is to love and to love in vain.

Of all the plagues with which the world is curst, Of every ill, a woman is the worst.

Mankind, from Adam, have been women's fools; Women, from Eve, have been the devil's tools: Heaven might have spar'd one torment when we fell; Not left us women, or not threatened hell.

Beauty should be kind, as well as charm.

Marriage the happiest bond of love might be, If hands were only joined when hearts agree.

The virtuous nothing fear but life with shame, And death's a pleasant road that leads to fame.

Whoe'er thou art, thy Lord and master see, Thou wast my Slave, thou art, or thou shalt be.

Who to a woman trusts his peace of mind, Trusts a frail bark, with a tempestuous wind.

O Love! thou bane of the most generous souls! Thou doubtful pleasure, and thou certain pain.

When I go to set, I try to make it a warm, inviting and happy set. We're all coming to work creating something, hopefully, beautiful together.

Religion without art is a dead system of dogmas which have no effect on life.

The truth is life is full of joy and full of great sorrow, but you can't have one without the other.

Music-wise, I listen to everything. Leonard Cohen, Randy Newman, I guess I like a lot of 70's music.

I am for people. I can't help it.

I don't know any religion that promotes violence. It is the adherents of whatever religion.

I will start out this evening with an assertion: fantasy is a place where it rains.

If you hate something, you hate it, and if you like something or somebody, you like it, but tell the truth. And most celebrities have that thin veneer that they will not break for you.

Therefore, since we may say, after such long experience, that religion does not imply exact honesty, we are authorized by the same reasons to think that atheism does not exclude it.

It takes courage to speak up against complacency and injustice while others remain silent. But that's what leadership is.
