Old is authentic. Old is genuine. Old is valuable.

The time to worrying about flying is when you’re on the ground. When you’re up in the air, it’s too late. No point in worrying about it then.

The image is one thing and the human being is another. It’s very hard to live up to an image, put it that way.

Where is the man who has the strength to be true, and to show himself as he is?

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

My justification is that most people my age spend a lot of time thinking about what they’re going to do for the next five or ten years. The time they spend thinking about their life, I just spend drinking.

The man who can dominate a London dinner-table can dominate the world.

Deeply earnest and thoughtful people stand on shaky footing with the public.

Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.

I have resolved on an enterprise that has no precedent and will have no imitator. I want to set before my fellow human beings a man in every way true to nature; and that man will be myself.

Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.

I continuously go further and further learning about my own limitations, my body limitation, psychological limitations. It’s a way of life for me.

I’m sure the feeling of fear, as long as you can take advantage of it and not be rendered useless by it, can make you extend yourself beyond what you would regard as your capacity. If you’re afraid, the blood seems to flow freely through the veins, and you really do feel a sense of stimulation.

I refuse to accept other people’s ideas of happiness for me. As if there’s a ‚one size fits all‘ standard for happiness.

You know, I look like a woman but I think like a man. And in this world of business, that has helped me a lot. Because by the time they think that I don’t know what’s goin‘ on, I then got the money, and gone.

Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

I’m happy being myself, which I’ve never been before. I always hid in other people, or tried to find myself through the characters, or live out their lives, but I didn’t have those things in mine.

Confidence is always a good thing to have going into the weekend. Especially where it’s quite difficult to put the lap together.

People always tell you, ‚Be humble. Be humble.‘ When was the last time someone told you to be amazing? Be great! Be great! Be awesome! Be awesome!

No one’s policing their own minds more than an author. You spend a lot of time in your own head analysing what you think about things, and a philosophy comes.

I like to be myself, and I don’t pretend. For instance, I don’t dress up for occasions; I am what I am.

What you have outside you counts less than what you have inside you.

Many people look at me and think they know me but they don’t at all. This is the real me. I am a humble person, a feeling person. A person who cares about others, who wants to help others.

I treated it like every day was my last day with a basketball.

I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you’re prepared for it.

Don’t think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It’s self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can’t try to do things. You simply must do things.

You can live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred.

No poet or orator has ever existed who believed there was any better than himself.

If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.

I don’t want to hear the word ‚can’t.‘

It doesn’t matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.

A man who is not afraid is not aggressive, a man who has no sense of fear of any kind is really a free, a peaceful man.

No man was ever great by imitation.

The fearful unbelief is unbelief in yourself.

Inside of every problem lies an opportunity.

For a long time, I thought I was ugly and disfigured. This made me shy and timid, and I often reacted to insults that were not intended.

Money, it turned out, was exactly like sex, you thought of nothing else if you didn’t have it and thought of other things if you did.

As long as a man stands in his own way, everything seems to be in his way.

We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

There’s no real excuse for being successful enough as an actor to do what you want and then selling out. You do it pure. You don’t try to adapt it, make it commercial.

The greatest gift is the ability to forget – to forget the bad things and focus on the good.

I am fearless.

I like to feel blonde all over.

Fear clogs; faith liberates.

Those outside the church expect followers of Christ to live differently, yet today many in church are chasing after the world – not to win them, but to be like them.

I can think of nothing less pleasurable than a life devoted to pleasure.

It would be a terrific innovation if you could get your mind to stretch a little further than the next wisecrack.

I have always thought I was the best ever player.

I could never identify with that word, ‚weak.‘

Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day.

I didn’t come to Hollywood. Hollywood came to me. A lot of people wish they could say the things I say. Everyone out here is so phony, it’s sickening.

I love that I can talk to my fans through Twitter, to cut out the middle man. Because I’ve done interviews where my words have gotten twisted, so it’s nice to be able to have things coming straight from me.
