people effort remember
Sometimes we spend more efforts with people that are strangers in terms of making an impression than the person that's closest to us. And you just got to remember not to take for granted that person that's closest to you.
rights serenity world
Human Rights for everyone is the necessary foundation upon which all of us may build a world where everybody may live in peace and serenity and plenty.
good-movie want actors
A lot of actors get concerned about their own image, even going so far as to rewrite a movie to best serve that image. All I want to do is be in good movies.
making-money poor
Never knew how poor I was until I started making money.
pride four genes
I am a Jew. Those are four words of pride. My Jewishness is as deep as my genes.
dad actors avoided
I thought I could never be the actor Dad was, so I avoided it for a while.
beautiful mean widows-and-orphans
I dont know about Brad Pitt leaving that beautiful woman to go hold orphans for Angelina. I mean how long is that going to last?
tolls energy chemotherapy
Chemotherapy takes its toll; the more you keep doing it, you lose your energy, and it gets more difficult to swallow.

I went into rehab to save my marriage, but I wound up saving myself.
generations
Everything's so repressive now - it's the No generation. You can't do anything, you can't eat anything, you have to abstain.
possibility
Out there is nothing but possibilities.
weed marijuana issues
I'm questioning it. We're trying to get a lot of money for health and education and I'm wondering... You look at these gangs, and I look back at Prohibition. When we didn't allow alcohol, what did we have? We had gangs. We had big gangs. It's something that needs to be discussed a little more. It's an economic issue and a violence issue.
success class issues
It's important to save your money. We need it for the long haul but too many Americans don't save and don't invest. It used to be that people would be proud of the fact that they were middle class. You'd have your church and buy a house and you had a car and everything else. Now, it's really, really tough. Everybody has financial issues except for the one percent.
success father self
When I look at myself as a younger actor, I see what a tight ass I was. I had a pretty big shadow because of my father and the comparisons. I was self-conscious about that. Now I realize there was nothing to be worried about.
