Somehow a bachelor never quite gets over the idea that he is a thing of beauty and a boy forever.
He who has loved and who betrays love does harm not only to the image of the past, but to the past itself.
I was never looking back in regret. I never thought, Oh, why didn't I become an actress? or Why did I just go paddling along after John? I've always walked along right by his side, and he's always supported everything I do.
Keynes was a very good economist. He was brilliant. He had wonderful insights. His work has inspired me many times.

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.
Obviously, I'm going to be embarrassing to the kid. There's just no way not. I just hope the kid has a really good sense of humor... My husband's very serious - he doesn't find me funny at all - so I'm hoping the kid is like, 'Mom is hilarious!' That'd be really great.
You shoulda shot that fella a long time ago. Now he's too rich to kill.
'Khalifa' is Arabic, it means successor, leader, shining light. My granddad is Muslim and he gave me that name.
