I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it's such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her.
The truth sets you free. It's a very liberating thing, when you say this is who I am warts and all and then you can just get on with life. It's amazing.
I think that's what is so cool about performing. When there is a show to do, you get up there and do it.
You're not sick you're just in love.
Young African-American males: Stop existing. It could get you killed.
You have to know how to go against the trend of the times.
In any country when you throw something in somebody's face, it's disrespectful.
People don't do what you expect but what you inspect.
Never seem more learned than the people you are with. Wear your learning like a pocket watch and keep it hidden. Do not pull it out to count the hours, but give the time when you are asked.
If you look over the years, the styles have changed - the clothes, the hair, the production, the approach to the songs. The icing to the cake has changed flavors. But if you really look at the cake itself, it's really the same.
Alcohol is like love. The first kiss is magic, the second is intimate, the third is routine. After that you take the girl's clothes off.
But what I believe is that if a person's individual rights or right to be a part of our economic system is violated under statute, we aggressively go after it. But we don't issue mandates to businesses that you've got to do this and you've got to do that.
I remember in '37 when trolley cars were so big in New York. It was five cents for a ride... There used to be open-air buses, and you could go up a spiral staircase and sit up on top. Those were great, great days.
You have to show up in the World Cup, and in the World Cup anything can happen.
There's no point in making films unless you intend to show us something special, otherwise just go out and watch a play.
Oscar night is a ridiculous night where you go to these parties and you see everyone that you've ever wanted to work with and admire.
It sounds really corny but I think that if you're beautiful inside it shows on the outside, for sure.
If you want to release your aggression, get up and dance. That's what rock and roll is all about.
That thing, 'You must stay together for the kids', is out of fashion but is right. It's not arguing parents that children don't like, it is having one parent.
They are words you don't easily forget: I don't have good news.
I realized that people make cartoons for a living. It had never dawned on me that you could do this as a career.
I think what you're seeing is a profound recognition on the part of the American people that gays and lesbians and transgender persons are our brothers, our sisters, our children, our cousins, our friends, our co-workers, and that they've got to be treated like every other American. And I think that principle will win out.
You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say.
The two impulses in travel are to get away from home, and the other is to pursue something - a landscape, people, an exotic place. Certainly finding a place that you like or discovering something unusual is a very sustaining thing in travel.
The best morale exist when you never hear the word mentioned. When you hear a lot of talk about it, it's usually lousy.
I have an Emmy, but it's no big deal: work in TV news long enough, you eventually get one.
Costumes are the first impression that you have of the character before they open their mouth-it really does establish who they are.
I never felt that getting angry would do you any good other than hurt your own digestion, keep you from eating, which I liked to do.
I'm not saying M.B.A.s can't be great entrepreneurs. They can. But you don't need a degree to figure out it's costing you $5,000 per month to run your business, so you need $30,000 to keep it going for six more months.
I think there's a lot of different ways to win. You've seen teams that win championships with a super-duper star like Kobe Bryant. Those championship teams with Michael Jordan certainly had a great, great player.
Oh, all southern women say they're sorry. You could do almost anything, bump into some one, don't spread the jam right, you're always sorry. I've had people tell me to stop saying it so much!
I'm normal. I just had a different occupation for a while, and when you're in a different occupation, you have to carry yourself a different way. Most of my art is me bringing you stories from that era of my life. My life now is kind of boring.
I tend to stay in character between scenes... to be rather serious on set, but here's why, and I think people will find it surprising. I'm one of the worst 'corpses' on a movie set, which means you can't keep a straight face. You start to get the giggles and you can't stop.
Books open your mind, broaden your mind, and strengthen you as nothing else can.
Find a good teacher, as I found for my sons. I feel the worst thing you can do is to try and teach your own children yourself, because there is a natural rebellion that occurs.
The eulogy virtues are the ones that are talked about at your funeral - whether you were kind, brave, honest or faithful. Were you capable of deep love? I want to foster eulogy virtues when I'm in a yoga class or meditation session or any spiritual gathering. Especially if I'm lying in corpse pose. It just makes sense.
