I was born in very sorry circumstances. Both of my parents were very sorry.

I use filming as an excuse to take classes. I got my certification in sailing for 'Wedding Crashers,' and now I can handle a 26-foot boat. I played a seamstress once, so I took sewing classes. I love dipping into these other lives.

Rachel McAdams

Remorse sleeps during prosperity but awakes bitter consciousness during adversity.

Jean Jacques Rousseau

My brother has been, and will always be, my closest friend.

GRiZ

Would you convey my compliments to the purist who reads your proofs and tell him or her that I write in a sort of broken-down patois which is something like the way a Swiss waiter talks, and that when I split an infinitive, God damn it, I split it so it will stay split, and when I interrupt the velvety smoothness of my more or less literate syntax with a few sudden words of bar-room vernacular, that is done with the eyes wide open and the mind relaxed but attentive.

Raymond Chandler

An accent mark, perhaps, instead of a whole western accent -- a point of punctuation rather than a uniform twang. That is how it should be worn: as a quiet point of character reference, an apt phrase of sartorial allusion -- macho, sotto voce.

Phil Patton

Tori Amos

I've always thought that people need to feel good about themselves and I see my role as offering support to them, to provide some light along the way.

Leo Buscaglia

I always feel like the art's there and I just see it, so it's not really a lot of work.

Damien Hirst

Your children will smash your understanding, knowledge and reality. You will be better off. Then they will leave. You'll miss them forever.

Tibor Kalman

It is only in the country that we can get to know a person or a book.

Cyril Connolly

My experience has been that work is almost the best way to pull oneself out of the depths.

Eleanor Roosevelt

No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money.

Samuel Johnson
