Basically, I think that there are some characters that you can just allow the truth of your character as a human being in your real life to come through.

Sobriety, severity, and self-respect are the foundations of all true sociality.

Henry David Thoreau

Doubt grows with knowledge.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I think the most exciting thing is that you expect people our age to know the music, but actually a lot of kids know the music, and if anything is left, we have left really good music, and that's the important part, not the mop-tops or whatever.

Ringo Starr

All men are created equal. It is what you do from there that makes the difference. We are all free agents in life. We make our own decisions. We control our own destiny.

Glenn Beck

I love children and I get along with them great. It's just that I believe if you're going to be a parent, there has to be something inside you that says, 'I want a family.' I don't feel that sense of urgency.

George Clooney

I have thought of a pulley to raise me gradually; but that would give me pain, as it would counteract my natural inclination. I would have something that can dissipate the inertia and give elasticity to the muscles. We can heat the body, we can cool it; we can give it tension or relaxation; and surely it is possible to bring it into a state in which rising from bed will not be a pain.

Samuel Johnson

By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day.

Robert Frost

Now there is fame! Of all -- hunger, misery, the incomprehension by the public -- fame is by far the worst. It is the castigation of God by the artist. It is sad. It is true.

Pablo Picasso

Love's overbrimming mystery joins death and life. It has filled my cup of pain with joy.

Rabindranath Tagore

I always like to start my morning with a good amount of fruit. I really like pineapple, particularly because of the enzymes that it has. Sometimes I have oatmeal. But if I'm feeling like I really want to be watching my weight more, then I definitely do a protein, like an omelet, scrambled eggs or some smoked salmon.

Cynthia Nixon

I want to fix that in my memory forever. Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret...

J.K. Rowling

How easy it is to judge rightly after one sees what evil comes from judging wrongly!

Elizabeth Gaskell
