Shakespeare – I was very influenced – still am – by Shakespeare. I couldn’t believe that a white man in the 16th century could so know my heart.

First, I want to pay tribute to Diana myself. She was an exceptional and gifted human being. In good times and bad, she never lost her capacity to smile and laugh, nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness. I admired and respected her – for her energy and commitment to others, and especially for her devotion to her two boys.

The more I see of deer, the more I admire them as mountaineers. They make their way into the heart of the roughest solitudes with smooth reserve of strength, through dense belts of brush and forest encumbered with fallen trees and boulder piles, across canons, roaring streams, and snow-fields, ever showing forth beauty and courage.

Show me the man you honor, and I will know what kind of man you are.

We have no right to express an opinion until we know all of the answers.

I don’t think President Trump is a racist.

I don’t usually admire Sarah Palin, but when she was making fun of this ‚hopey changey stuff,‘ she was right: there was nothing there.

It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has.

Who I am on stage is very, very different to who I am in real life.

No one who knew Diana will ever forget her. Millions of others who never met her, but felt they knew her, will remember her.

I kind of love Cole Miller.

Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.

I have never talked publicly or privately about the Jewish people, including conversations with President Nixon, except in the most positive terms.

There is no such thing as a pure introvert or extrovert. Such a person would be in the lunatic asylum.

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.

I like the fact that Melbourne always seems to support their chefs and promote them in ways I find really admirable.

It is in the treatment of trifles that a person shows what they are.

I have always had a talent for irritating women since I was fourteen.

Some say our national pastime is baseball. Not me. It’s gossip.

The intellectual is different from the ordinary man, but only in certain sections of his personality, and even then not all the time.

A lot of people, because of my contempt for the false consolations of religion, think of me as a symbolic public opponent of that in extremis. And sometimes that makes me feel a bit alarmed, to be the repository of other people’s hope.

I have no further use for America. I wouldn’t go back there if Jesus Christ was President.

I have always hated bowling, and I don’t mind admitting it.

I hate talking about music, to tell you the truth.

I’ve never been reckless – it’s always calculated. I’m mischievous, but I’m calculated.

I just love working with Eminem. He’s just one of my favorite rappers, and his lyrics – he’s a true poet, and I enjoy that about him.

In any court-like environment of power, you will inevitably find people who are drawn to those who are successful or powerful, not out of admiration, but out of secret envy.

Bondage is the life of personality, and for bondage the personal self will fight with tireless resourcefulness and the most stubborn cunning.

The idea of personal salvation is intensely repugnant to me when it is not absurd. Imagine Roosevelt, the big brute, preserving his personality in a future state and swaggering about as a celestial Rough Rider!
