It is fun to be in the same decade with you.

It’s good to wander into the studio and walk out with something that’s better than you’d imagined it to be. If everything was as you imagined it to be, it just wouldn’t be as much fun.

If I’m not in love, if I’m not with a long-term companion, I cannot be happy.

The action we take and the decisions we make in this decade will have consequences far into this century. If America shows weakness and uncertainty, the world will drift toward tragedy. That will not happen on my watch.

Man consists of two parts, his mind and his body, only the body has more fun.

For how many things, which for our own sake we should never do, do we perform for the sake of our friends.

I turned away from bikes when I got a bambino kart for my seventh birthday and started doing some karting, just around some cones at home, but I didn’t think at that point I knew I wanted to go into F1, it was more just for fun.

There’s my personal life, my sensitive side, and then me as a performer, sexy and energised and fun.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

I just have a relationship with my imagination. It’s like my friend, almost.

For years my wedding ring has done its job. It has led me not into temptation. It has reminded my husband numerous times at parties that it’s time to go home. It has been a source of relief to a dinner companion. It has been a status symbol in the maternity ward.

We do not so much need the help of our friends as the confidence of their help in need.

Most people get a fair amount of fun out of their lives, but on balance life is suffering, and only the very young or the very foolish imagine otherwise.

Bo Derek is a really good friend of mine, and I’d like to spend more time with her.

Talking with a friend is nothing else but thinking aloud.

Fun is good.

As a child, I wanted to know how things worked and to control them. With a friend, I built a number of complicated models that I could control.

A woman can’t be alone. She needs a man. A man and a woman support and strengthen each other. She just can’t do it by herself.

When you combine boring with fear, you have fun.

If you cry over a guy, then your friends can’t date him. It can’t even be considered.

I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris, and I have enjoyed it.

A friend never defends a husband who gets his wife an electric skillet for her birthday.

A business has to be involving, it has to be fun, and it has to exercise your creative instincts.

It is easy to say how we love new friends, and what we think of them, but words can never trace out all the fibers that knit us to the old.

If we listened to our intellect, we’d never have a love affair. We’d never have a friendship. We’d never go into business, because we’d be cynical. Well, that’s nonsense. You’ve got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

The devil ain’t got no power over me. The devil come, and me shake hands with the devil. Devil have his part to play. Devil’s a good friend, too… because when you don’t know him, that’s the time he can mosh you down.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

When you’re a little kid, you don’t see color, and the fact that my friends were black never crossed my mind. It never became an issue until I was a teenager and started trying to rap.

Friends applaud, the comedy is over.

A man will speedily sit down and sympathize with a friend’s griefs, but if he sees him honored and esteemed, he is apt to regard him as a rival and does not so readily rejoice with him. This ought not to be; without effort, we ought to be happy in our brother’s happiness.

Trust is not the same as faith. A friend is someone you trust. Putting faith in anyone is a mistake.

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

It’s always fun to talk about jazz.

My aim is to create a happy society with genuine friendship. Friendship between Tibetan and Chinese peoples is very essential.

God is not so wary as we, else He would give us no friends, lest we forget Him! The charms of the heaven in the bush are superseded, I fear, by the heaven in the hand, occasionally.

Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company.

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Since the very beginning, Emeril’s had a sense of humor about me calling him names and poking fun at him.

There is no such thing as fun for the whole family.

Let me smile with the wise, and feed with the rich.

Dancing in high heels is kind of tough. I learn the dances without the heels, and then we add them. We just practice, and I get used to it. My feet hurt really badly at the end of the shows, but it’s fun. While it’s happening it’s fun. I feel tall.

I lost some of my friends because I got so famous, people who just assumed that I would be different now. I felt like everyone hated me. That is the most unhappy time of my life.

Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.

I’m not looking to get away from anything. I like what I’ve done. I like what I get to do and I enjoy working with my friends. I loved those movies, but this is incredible.

June Jordan, who died of cancer in 2002, was a brilliant, fierce, radical, and frequently furious poet. We were friends for thirty years. Not once in that time did she step back from what was transpiring politically and morally in the world. She spoke up, and led her students, whom she adored, to do the same.

I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society.

The feeling of friendship is like that of being comfortably filled with roast beef; love, like being enlivened with champagne.

Meeting Franklin Roosevelt was like opening your first bottle of champagne; knowing him was like drinking it.

Everywhere is nowhere. When a person spends all his time in foreign travel, he ends by having many acquaintances, but no friends.

I had a good time boxing. I enjoyed it – and I may come back.

I do love the films I’ve done in the past. I work hard in my movies and my friends work hard and we’re trying to make people laugh and I’m very proud of that.

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

I’ll think I have a few wonderful friends and all of a sudden, ooh, here it comes. They do a lot of things. They talk about you to the press, to their friends, tell stories, and you know, it’s disappointing.

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

Friendship is but another name for an alliance with the follies and the misfortunes of others. Our own share of miseries is sufficient: why enter then as volunteers into those of another?

There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man.

It’s really fun to put yourself into a character – into shoes you wouldn’t normally be in.

Let it be our delight to find our society in the circle of which Jesus is the center, and let us make those our friends who are the friends of Jesus.
