A man does not know what he is saying until he knows what he is not saying.

Almost all absurdity of conduct arises from the imitation of those who we cannot resemble.

When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike.

In the end, people are persuaded not by what we say, but by what they understand.

I’m crepuscular.

Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive. This facility makes it the most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation.

In my divorce, I stood up and said to my ex-wife, ‚Hey, I messed up. This had nothing to do with you. I didn’t understand what marriage was. I cheated. I was wrong. We couldn’t fix it; it got worse.

I haven’t gone out of my way to seek advice from people I don’t know.

In the grip of a neurological disorder, I am fast losing control of words even as my relationship with the world has been reduced to them.

One of my direct subordinates, one of my guys that worked for me, he would call me up or pull me aside with some major problem, some issue that was going on. And he’d say, ‚Boss, we’ve got this, and that, and the other thing.‘ And I’d look at him and I’d say, ‚Good.‘

I try to speak in a way that people can understand.

I have found that no exertion of the legs can bring two minds much nearer to one another.

Tell the children the truth.

I like the way the stories of my relationships sound to music more than the way they look in print, in gossip columns or in me talking about them in interviews. I think it’s a better way of telling the stories.
