The writer, when he is also an artist, is someone who admits what others don't dare reveal.

Nature has no originality--I mean, no large ability in the matter of inventing new things, new ideas, new stage effects. She has a superb and amazing and infinitely varied equipment of old ones, but she never adds to them. She repeats--repeats--repeats--repeats. Examine your memory and your experience; you will find it is true.

Mark Twain

Chuck Palahniuk

I cast unusual people in my movies.

Albert Brooks

Labels are for filing. Labels are for clothing. Labels are not for people.

When you look in the mirror, it's usually to fix your hair or put on makeup. To examine your body searching for problem areas. We look at ourselves to see the flaw, not beauty. And we look at predictable times, in the morning, after using the bathroom, before bed. We hardly ever see ourselves when we aren't prepared for inspection. But only when you're unprepared can you see your true self, your true beauty.

Valerie Frankel

Debbie Stabenow

In Genesis, it says that it is not good for a man to be alone; but sometimes it is a great relief.

John Barrymore

Sin is not hurtful because it is forbidden, but it is forbidden because it's hurtful.

Benjamin Franklin

Why do we want to test people for drugs and alcohol? Why don't we test them from stupidity, illiteracy and avarice? The place would be better.
