I'm not an Adonis, that's for damn sure. I've never really thought of myself that way, and it doesn't matter to me. My favorite actors aren't Adonises. Dustin Hoffman is a flawed-looking man he's amazing to me. Tom Hanks is flawed-looking people love him. Same with Gene Hackman.

None of my actions have ever sort of been motored by the search for a husband or wondering if I was going to have a family someday or wanting to live in a really great house or thinking it would be really great to have a diamond.

Sydney Brenner

Humility is a great quality of leadership which derives respect and not just fear or hatred.

Yousef Munayyer

Once you start telling people you're famous, they believe you.

Melissa de la Cruz

The idealist is incorrigible: if he is thrown out of his heaven he makes an ideal of his hell.
