I got more out of the farm than Harvard Business School.
I'm not so funny. Gilda was funny. I'm funny on camera sometimes. In life, once in a while. Once in a while. But she was funny. She spent more time worrying about being liked than anything else.
But reason has no power against feeling, and feeling older than history is no light matter.
I'm less comfortable in stilettos than I am in running shoes.
I wrote speculative fiction because I loved to read it, and thought I could do better than some of the people who were getting published.
The decision to write in prose instead of poetry is made more by the readers than by writers. Almost no one is interested in reading narrative in verse.
Nothing can be more obvious than that all animals were created solely and exclusively for the use of man.
I don't want to criticize any other designers, but I have to say that many of the people involved in this industry - directors and producers - are trying to make their games more like movies. They are longing to make movies rather than making videogames.
When I used to teach civil procedure as a law professor, I would begin the year by telling my students that 'civil procedure is the etiquette of ritualized battle.' The phrase, which did not originate with me, captured the point that peaceful, developed societies resolve disputes by law rather than by force.
It is harder to get adult, character-driven material on television than it used to be, but there are lots of other places that you can go to sell it. If you can do it for basic cable or pay cable, we have those outlets.
Thus, the use of fiat money is more justifiable in financing a depression than in financing a war.
I started off like everyone else does, slogging but having a compulsion to put words on paper. I didn't write or read horror or fantasy, other than children's fantasy, until I was in my teens.
To say that a thing has never yet been done among men is to erect a barrier stronger than reason, stronger than discussion.
Understanding that yes, we are committing more resources than we thought we might be in protecting our homeland and prosecuting a war and so it's understandable that we would be going through a period of deficits.
The horrors of the Second World War, the chilling winds of the Cold War and the crushing weight of the Iron Curtain are little more than fading memories. Ideals that once commanded great loyalty are now taken for granted.
There's a lot more hypocrisy than before. Racism has gone back underground.
Get to know the real you, rather than try to look like or dress like those around you.
I'm more liberated and happy than I've been my whole life. I'm just happy.
In the heart of the desert and founded by the first Spanish Conquistadores, Las Vegas has become the entertainment capital of the world, with more than 30 million visitors a year.
I've got more than 600 pairs of Ray-Ban sunglasses, from 1950s originals to newer models. I have them on the wall like opticians do so I can pick out a pair that goes with my outfit. I had around 30 pairs, then my husband Rainer started getting them for me as birthday and Christmas gifts.
I can think of a lot better things to do with my hands than to cut them up on the rim of a drum.
Nobody, but nobody stays a public-address announcer for more than a couple of years. Truly. Public-address announcing is not a career. Public-address announcers only work 81 days a year, so you don't make a living.
As most doctors will tell you, cleansing is ridiculous. You know what's been around longer than that state-of-the-art juicer? Your kidneys. And your liver. Still, the cleanse has recalibrated my definition of a splurge.
We make mistakes, we have our faults, and God knows some of us have more than our share, but when danger threatens and duty calls, we go smiling to our own funeral.
Next to a circus there ain't nothing that packs up and tears out faster than the Christmas spirit.
When you elevate the heels more so than you elevate the sole of the foot, you trigger a cascade of compensations in the knees and hips that cause tight hip flexors, and then those hip flexors cause lower-back pain.
With television, you can make anyone look larger than life.
Nursery rhymes were political when they were first written! To me, that's what it's about: it's about using it to say something more than just what the story is.
I don't want to be known for anything other than the fact that I play characters in movies.
I do think that even with entertainment and telling stories, people in the entertainment industry have such a beautiful position in the world to speak about things that they're passionate about in a way that can grab people more than just sitting and telling someone about something, because you can show it visually.
There is no word more generally misinterpreted than the word egoism, in its modern sense.
No life's worth more than any other, no sister worth less than any brother.
A deception that elevates us is dearer than a host of low truths.
What could be funnier than a fat person trying to run a marathon?
You can have no dominion greater or less than that over yourself.
I think I've had more of a variety in what I've done than most actors.
