I was born in the same town as Richard Burton, the actor, and I saw him, he used to come - he and his wife drove by in the car in my father's shop and Burton would come home from Hollywood and ask him for his autograph, and I thought, I want to be like him. And that's all I said to myself, I want to be like that. I want to get out of this environment of my own empty mind.

What a glorious night. Every face I see is a memory. It may not be a perfectly perfect memory. Sometimes we had our ups and downs. But we're all together and you're mine for a night. And I'm going to break precedent and tell you my one-candle wish...that you would have a life as lucky as mine, where you can wake up one morning and say, 'I don't want anything more'. Sixty-five years. Don't they go by in a blink?

People don't always tell you what they are thinking. They just see to it that you don't advance in life.

If you don't follow through on your dreams, you might as well be a vegetable.

Relish everything that's inside of you, the imperfections, the darkness, the richness and light and everything. And that makes for a full life.

You're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Agent Starling?

I don't have a vast longing for the stage.
