The long days are no happier than the short ones. Don't go on American Idol, I think you'll spend the rest of your life living it down and I think it's getting kinda scary, isn't it? It is a Federal crime to hijack an automobile; it is a Federal crime to possess cocaine. It ought to be a Federal crime to drag a man to his death because of his race or to hang a man because of his sexual orientation. You don't have to go out and party every night. You can act because it's your dream. I loved doing Shakespeare. My two favorite roles, in fact, have been Viola in Twelfth Night and Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream. I'm very close to suggesting that Mr. Pitt has now served as long as he can usefully do so. He seems to take his foot out of his mouth only for purposes of changing feet. I never felt I left the stage. All we know is that, at times, fighting the Russians, we had to remove the piles of enemy bodies from before our trenches, so as to get a clear field of fire against new waves of assault. We put our life on the line to fight for them, put on a show and these guys take our money so whatever happens to Bob Arum, Don King or anyone else is fine with me. A lot of people would rather tour sewers than visit their cousins. I know not why there is such a melancholy feeling attached to the remembrance of past happiness, except that we fear that the future can have nothing so bright as the past. I have a different approach. I don't file lawsuits because I really don't care. We are all very individual. You have to find out what you can do best, and be self-conscious about that. Some of the best health care services are free or cost very little and are even available to millionaires but hardly anyone knows they exist. Do not the most moving moments of our lives find us without words? He who is silent must be agreed with, for what shall the wings of opposition thresh upon, without the winds of conversation to shoulder them. The idea of the European community is never face a war again. There was a time in my life when I thought I had everything - millions of dollars, mansions, cars, nice clothes, beautiful women, and every other materialistic thing you can imagine. Now I struggle for peace. I am enduring. You can disagree with me. All I am hoping for is to be able to work - I think my best work is still ahead of me - I think all that I have been through in the last several years have only made me a better, more interesting actor. To give alms is nothing unless you give thought also. They held up 'The Outlaw' for five years. And Howard Hughes had me doing publicity for it every day, five days a week for five years. If you have tears, prepare to shed them now. How could a New Yorker possibly take something called the Hollywood String Quartet seriously? It is extraordinary that when you are acquainted with a whole family you can forget about them. With each piece I've completed I have worked to make it intact, and each of them has been an equal high. It's like children. A mother refuses to pick out one as a favorite, and I can't do any better with the dances. Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. I don't like balance. Balance is not a word you can use in Versace fashion. I'm not trying to win individual awards. Life does not need to mutilate itself in order to be pure.
