The silent killer of all great men and women of achievement - particularly men, I don't know why, maybe it's the testosterone - I think it's narcissism. Even more than hubris. And for women, too. Narcissism is the killer.
I befriend people too quickly - I don't think that's wrong, but I get told that I should be a bit more careful.
Directors get to fire on many more cylinders than an actor.
I had seen some films made about the underground music world in Tehran, and most of them were short documentaries about 30 or 40 minutes long. And I always wondered why they weren't publicized more. Really, their only flaw was they were short documentaries.
I love tennis more than designing because it's actually easier and I don't get nearly as nervous.
There's more people to ignore in New York or Boston than there are in Milwaukee, but I would still ignore them, probably.
I find, the older I get, the more surprised I am about how hesitant people are to say what they really want, what they really dream about, what really drives them. It's as if sometimes we're sort of embarrassed, as we get older, to be transparent about that. But you save so much time if you're transparent about what you want.
For if enough people were really convinced that growth should be halted, and if they acted on that conviction, then billions of others might be deprived of any realistic hope of gaining the opportunities now enjoyed by the more fortunate.
Never seem wiser, nor more learned, than the people you are with. Wear your learning, like your watch, in a private pocket: and do not merely pull it out and strike it; merely to show that you have one.
The task of the solitary man is to be even more solitary.
No man is so old as to believe he cannot live one more year.
Opera is complex for those who perform it, but also for those who listen to it. It takes more time, more patience and more spirit of sacrifice. All this is well worth it because opera offers such deep sensations that they will remain in a heart for a lifetime.
I can't cruise no more. You cruise, you lose.
I've hit the Pick 6 for a hundred thousand a couple of times. A few more for 60, 70 thousand.

The journalist cannot create his subjects any more than the analyst can create his patients.
I think if I weren't so beautiful, maybe, I'd have more character.
Fashion is more about feel than science.
When I'm close to the penalty area, that's where I feel more comfortable.
There is more good writing and good acting in any ten minutes of Twister than in, say, all of Citizen Kane.
Film composers are the most prolific music makers on this planet, and most of us are, like, losing our minds if we're doing five or more movies in a year.
What is more mortifying than to feel that you have missed the plum for want of courage to shake the tree?
I just have more fun when I get to try new things - and the action film genre has kind of painted itself into a corner, copied itself so many times and it has basically run out of bad buys.
There is an army of the informed wanting to be more informed.
I'm more interested in my life than I am in my career. I don't want to not work. I do enjoy working, but not to the point where that's the only thing I focus on.

The idea of making access to safe abortions harder and more expensive and more difficult, having to travel across state lines - that puts women's health and lives in jeopardy, which is something I think no one wants.
In fact men will fight for a superstition quite as quickly as for a living truth - often more so, since a superstition is so intangible you cannot get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, and so is changeable.

Infinitely more important than sharing one's material wealth is sharing the wealth of ourselves - our time and energy, our passion and commitment, and, above all, our love.
They also explained how the sensors can monitor the levels of acetone on people's breath, and this can be used to tell people who suffer from diabetes when their next insulin shot is due. This is a more discreet method than what is currently on the market.
That's the way I've been educated: I always think about what I missed and the things that you did, you did them, so you don't have to think about them any more.
