Despair is perfectly compatible with a good dinner, I promise you.

I've never tried to find my real parents. I'm very grateful to my mum and dad for adopting me - they're completely incredible people. It was my dad who encouraged me to question everything, to forge my own path, to think, to read. I always felt it was my right to question everything.

'Immortals' is all action. I love action movies. That's really where I want to spearhead my career.

Kellan Lutz

Acting is nothing more or less than playing. The idea is to humanize life.

Jeff Goldblum

With so many trees in the city, you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. This was the only truly sad time in Paris because it was unnatural. You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintry light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days, though, the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed.

Ernest Hemingway

If I can't get the girl, at least give me more money.

Alan Alda

Let no one be discouraged by the belief that there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world's ills -- against misery and ignorance, injustice and violence... Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation...It is from the numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man (or a woman) stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he (or she) sends a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

Music exalts each joy, allays each grief, expels diseases, softens every pain, subdues the rage of poison, and the plague.

John Armstrong

My eyesight is not nearly as good. My hearing is probably going away. My memory is slipping too. But I'm still around.

John Wooden

Literature, the most seductive, the most deceiving, the most dangerous of professions.

John Morley

When CD technology first came out, it was just so much waste.

Rick Danko

I have often had a retrospective vision where everything in my past life seems to fall with significance into logical sequence.

Ansel Adams

I love you more than my own skin.
