I'm coming from a place of total strength and humility now.

Acting is the most wildly overpaid position imaginable.

Do I want to be a hero to my son? No. I would like to be a very real human being. That's hard enough.

Sometimes you just gotta be drop-kicked out of the nest.

The lesson is that you can still make mistakes and be forgiven.

I've noticed that worrying is like praying for what you don't want to happen.

It's hard to get out of the barrel. It's slippery around the edges and people are happy to see you fall back in.

I think you end up doing the stuff you were supposed to do at the time you were supposed to do it.

I understand reversal of fortune; that usually has come through my own hand, but you know, you live life on life's terms.

I think that we all do heroic things, but hero is not a noun, it's a verb.

I want to give myself the freedom not to have to be projecting my whole life ahead.

A corporation, essentially, is a pile of money to which a number of persons have sold their moral allegiance.

I can't distract myself enough here, for sketches to a new opera are constantly buzzing around in my head, to the extent that I need all my strength to wrest myself from them.

In the sunset of dissolution, everything is illuminated by the aura of nostalgia, even the guillotine.

Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.

I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.

We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone.

Far and away the best prize that life offers is the change to work hard at work worth doing.

When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves.

None of Us is as Good as All of Us.
