I realize it's impossible to have any sympathy, I mean, true sympathy, for people that are famous.

The Army needs leaders the way a foot needs a big toe.

I wanted to be a doctor once upon a time, but it turns out you've got to study, and that wasn't going to happen. I had no idea what I was going to do. I had trouble holding jobs because they want you to be on time. That wasn't going to work.

I'm not an ungenerous person; I don't resent it. It's just sort of a head-scratcher.

We're born alone. We do need each other. It's lonely to really effectively live your life, and anyone you can get help from or give help to; that's part of your obligation.

People say I'm difficult and sometimes that's a badge of honour.

Every moment that you share someone else's pain, feel what they feel, makes you more human.
