I myself have never been enchanted by the dream of the white wedding, and, heaven help us, the expectation that this exquisitely catered event should be 'the happiest moment' of one's life.

Normally, I name my characters after famous comedians.

Paula Danziger

I had supposed until that time that it was quite common for parents to love their children, but the war persuaded me that it is a rare exception. I had supposed that most people liked money better than almost anything else, but I discovered that they liked destruction even better.

Jeannette Rankin

Our duty is to be useful, not according to our desires, but according to our powers.

Henri Frederic Amiel

Steven Spielberg

My father belongs to the generation that fought the war in the 1940s. When I was a kid my father told me stories - not so many, but it meant a lot to me. I wanted to know what happened then, to my father's generation. It's a kind of inheritance, the memory of it.

Haruki Murakami

It's a real roller-coaster ride if you're lucky to have longevity in this business - you have to be able to ride those waves.
