I have come close to producing films. But generally by the time they hit the screen, there's about 50 people with producer credits, so what's the point. I usually find scripts I like with no money attached and take them to producers that I know and try to raise finance.

Any serious shift towards more sustainable societies has to include gender equality.

Helen Clark

After hundreds of auditions and nothing, you're sitting home and wondering, 'What am I doing?'

Demi Lovato

Diplomacy is to do and say the nastiest things in the nicest way.

Isaac Goldberg

Educational television should be absolutely forbidden. It can only lead to unreasonable disappointment when your child discovers that the letters of the alphabet do not leap up out of books and dance around with royal-blue chickens.

Fran Lebowitz

Success, for me, is being able to provide information that will help to change someone's life positively.

Darren L Johnson

Living Life Tomorrow's fate, though thou be wise, Thou canst not tell nor yet surmise; Pass, therefore, not today in vain, For it will never come again.

Omar Khayyam

In love, there is always one who kisses and one who offers the cheek.

Proverb

I save my dreams and hopes for my kids. When I'm making a wish under a bridge or tunnel, it's always for them.

Alison Sweeney

To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. Has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? Without her, man could not be. If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?

Mahatma Gandhi

It's very different than it use to be. I think everybody has a lot more experience in how to be in a relationship - whether it's a marriage or a significant other or a business or a friend.

Kathy Valentine

If there were only turnips and potatoes in the world, someone would complain that plants grow the wrong way.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

Why should I blame her that she filled my daysWith misery, or that she would of late Have taught to ignorant men most violent ways,Or hurled the little streets upon the great, Had they but courage equal to desire?What could have made her peaceful with a mindThat nobleness made simple as a fire,With beauty like a tightened bow, a kindThat is not natural in an age like thisBeing high and solitary and most stern?Why, what could she have done, being what she is?Was there another Troy for her to burn?

W.B. Yeats
