Like all the best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and wayward youngsters and of family disagreements.

Insecurity, commonly regarded as a weakness in normal people, is the basic tool of the actor's trade.

Miranda Richardson

I felt like I was a teacher. But nowadays, I am as much a student of his. He writes a lot of what we play.

Gary Burton

Le jugement du corps vaut bien celui de l'esprit et le corps recule devant l'anéantissement. Nous prenons l'habitude de vivre avant d'acquérir celle de penser.

Albert Camus

It is really quite amazing that all of the folks supporting privatization, from the president on down, keep invoking the name of my grandfather, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

James Roosevelt

I think the most important thing people can do to save our planet and the human race is to empower women!

Robert Ballard

Life is not so bad if you have plenty of luck, a good physique, and not too much imagination.

Christopher Isherwood

A single gentle rain makes the grass many shades greener. So our prospects brighten on the influx of better thoughts. We should be blessed if we lived in the present always, and took advantage of every accident that befell us, like the grass which confesses the influence of the slightest dew that falls on it; and did not spend our time in atoning for the neglect of past opportunities, which we call doing our duty. We loiter in winter while it is already spring.

Henry David Thoreau

The ladder of success in Hollywood is usually a press agent, actor, director, producer, leading man and you are a star if you sleep with each of them in that order. Crude, but true.

Hedy Lamarr

I'm terrible with patience.

Katherine Heigl

It's fairly obvious that American education is a cultural flop. Americans are not a well-educated people culturally, and their vocational education often has to be learned all over again after they leave school and college.

Raymond Chandler

To withhold deserved praise lest it should make its object conceited is as dishonest as to withhold payment of a just debt lest your creditor should spend the money badly.

George Bernard Shaw

You're the man who stands on the street corner with a roll of toilet paper, and written on each square are the words, 'I love you.' And each passer-by, no matter who, gets a square all his or her own. I don't want my square of toilet paper.'I didn't realize it toilet paper.

Kurt Vonnegut
