Acting is a nice childish profession - pretending you're someone else and, at the same time, selling yourself
Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don't do that by sitting around.
My greatest strength is... common sense. I'm really a standard brand - like Campbell's tomato soup or Baker's chocolate.
Only the really plain people know about love-the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they soon exhaust their talents.
Never complain. Never explain.
You can't just be talented: You have to be terribly smart and energetic and ruthless. You also have to become necessary to people, by working hard and well and bringing more than your bones and your skin to the project. Don't just show up. Transform the work, yourself, and everybody around you. Be needed. Be interesting. Be something no one else can be--and consistently.
You are the only person you can actually change
I've made forty-three pictures. Naturally I'm adorable in all of them.
I don't fear death, it must be like a long sleep.
Life gets harder the smarter you get, the more you know.
What you see before you, my friend, is the result of a lifetime of chocolate.
You politicians remain professional because the voters remain amateur.
It would be a terrific innovation if you could get your mind to stretch a little further than the next wisecrack.
I'm a legend because I've survived over a long period of time and still seem to be master of my fate - I'm still paddling the goddamned boat myself.
