When I was younger I thought I was an artist, and inspiration would just come to me.

My darling girl, when are you going to understand that "normal" isn't a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage.

You're talking to someone who has been married to various people for the last 40 years of her life. Dating is not really something familiar. I've never really been a dater.

I have no idea if world peace is attainable. But aiming for it is.

It's always great to have another chance at something.

I think that's the phenomenon of our time is that a lot of women keep themselves in good shape but that there's not a lot of accommodation or people out there to connect with and the technology.

Casting can be heartbreaking. Dealing with the disappointment is the hardest part.

I hate parties. I really don't like public events. I hate dressing up. I am the worst celebrity ever!

I want to go working with good people on something that's good, because otherwise it's a big waste of time. I don't have that much time.

Acting is such a bizarre way of life. Unless you're really passionate about it, you should give it up. Don't beat yourself up.

If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the small things hardly noticeable, those things can unexpectedly become great and immeasurable.

I had a whole evening planned. I was hoping to sweep you off your feet. Like those guys in your stupid books.

Let us be in a position so we are able to not only feed ourselves through home production and storage, but others as well.

I'll watch the kids play, have a big steak with my friends, stay in a nice hotel, sign a lot of autographs, then go back to Vegas and tell my alumni how tough recruiting is.

Either you look back and deal with your hypocrisy, or you dismiss it.

Trifles lighter than straws are levers in the building up of character.

The only way to make the right decision is to find out which is the wrong decision, to examine that other path without fear, and only then decide.

... only those of us who carry our cause in our hearts are willing to run the risks.

I'm not saying I'm not bummed if a movie doesn't do well, but that isn't the final analysis of whether it's any good.
