But I'd be lying if I didn't say that every time you go to make a film, you're desperate to either do it better than you did it last time or to not repeat yourself.
I do understand people when they say that you destroy the magic of childhood if you encourage too much skeptical questioning.
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
The measure of your quality as a public person, as a citizen, is the gap between what you do and what you say.
Sometimes you learn more from failure than you do from success, and in some ways it's better to have failure at the beginning of your career, or your life.
It's afterwards you realize that the feeling of happiness you had with a man didn't necessarily prove that you loved him.
Before I put another notch in my lipstick case, you better make sure you put me in my place.
I would love to spend all my time writing to you; I'd love to share with you all that goes through my mind, all that weighs on my heart, all that gives air to my soul; phantoms of art, dreams that would be so beautiful if they could come true.
Hopeful thinking can get you out of your fear zone and into your appreciation zone.

I began to believe the fairy tales: You know, how we're all out there looking for our magical missing half.
Miley Cyrus, like all of us, needs to be loved. We all come from complicated parents... I understand her, and I love her, and I think things will be different with her. But you know, in the music business, sometimes you have to shock a little.
Don't look for obscure formulas or mystery in my work. It is pure joy that I offer you. Look at my sculptures until you see them. Those closest to God have seen them.
We're sympathetic, but once you step on the field, football's football.
'Skins' was never about sending a message. It was showing you everything there was and letting you make a decision.
I just really like fun, cool, interesting, quirky girls. And sometimes you find that in 6'2 model bodies and sometimes they're short and brunette. All shapes and sizes - it's really about the personality. That sounds cliche, but it's so freaking true!
Back when I was growing up, it was like, 'You're too young to know what you want. We're telling you what you want. It doesn't matter if you like it. And you are stupid. Just so you know.'
Therapy needs to be integrated. You mustn't forget about a patient's emotional wellbeing. It is vital to the outcome of their treatment.

I think, you know, it was something that I really wanted. I wanted so much to have a son or daughter. We adopted a son. And it was just the most wonderful thing. I think the only thing that was difficult for both Maury and myself were the sleepless nights.

Fate, or some mysterious force, can put the finger on you or me, for no good reason at all.
If you really want to get in shape, you can't have those days where you feel weak.
We have never observed infinity in nature. Whenever you have infinities in a theory, that's where the theory fails as a description of nature. And if space was born in the Big Bang, yet is infinite now, we are forced to believe that it's instantaneously, infinitely big. It seems absurd.

We listen to a lot of classical and a lot of jazz, and so you get some funky notes here and there. And we get a little experimental in some of the deeper tracks.
Anything's possible. If I turn round tomorrow and say I want to be a spaceman, I could do that. You can do whatever you want to do.
You should just enjoy it, but as soon as you decide that it is going to be your career, no matter whether you want to be a doctor or an architect or anything else, you need to work 5 hours a day.
As citizens of this democracy, you are the rulers and the ruled, the law-givers and the law-abiding, the beginning and the end.
You have to get the audience invested even if you're doing something that they think is dumb, it's kind of what these movies are all about.
It's sort of interesting how, when you get older, things that were once so important sort of fall away.
You know I don't think we need the Republicans to steal family values from us.
If you have more money than you need, you have to give it away. It's a duty. I get to choose whom to sponsor, and I like to give to the areas that I know something about.
Instead of seeing depression as a dysfunction, it is a functioning phenomenon. It stops you cold, sets you down, makes you damn miserable.
When you're in the music business, everything is very personal, because you are invested in everything; there's a very deep, personal attachment to your music.
You don't want to be nasty for the sake of being nasty.
