I try to give people hope. Even though life is bleak, there's hope out there.

The crushing, pitiful, and frequently just plain risible pathos of an unsuccessful actor/performer's life is well charted.

Life is ours to be spent, not to be saved.
I've got a fantastic life. I enjoy what I do for a living. I see the blessings; I'm not blind.
When I'm living in the world of luxury and celebrity, which is where I found myself for a large part of my life, it's a walk-on part. Not a vital necessity, like it is for so many people. I enjoy it but I can see right through it!
Life is magically beautiful. And it brings you what is perfect.
I am still very independent in my real life, and that's why I'm always trying to get out of relationships prematurely.
The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do.
I actually thought, like, I was sure 'Get Smart' and, like, 'James Bond' movies, I was sure that that's what real life was like.

Much of my life has been a devotion to a simple expression: you can Lead Without a Title.

Marriage, at this point in my life? I'm not interested in it. Yet. Maybe later when I'm 35 or 40.
Life is a process of working out what's not working for you and disentangling yourself from it and trying then not walk into the same thing again. Watching your patterns and correcting them if you can.

Planets that don't currently sport plate tectonics, such as Venus and Mars, are scarcely habitable. Tectonics might be a requirement of any world that aspires to a rich diversity of life.
I rely on guns for protection in life. God does not say, 'This is la-la land.' God doesn't say, 'Welcome to Earth. Everything's perfect. There's no crime. There's no murder. There's no death.' The world is imperfect, and you have to be on guard.
If you're concentrating so damn hard on a piece of mathematics or a musical - a piece of music or a piece of art, the restraint that holds the rest of - the rest of the world back off and vanishes in the rest of your life.
