I think happiness is overrated. Satisfied, at peace-those would be more realistic goals.

I'd like to design something like a city or a museum. I want to do something hands on rather than just play golf which is the sport of the religious right.

I always heard criticism is the tax on fame. They were right. And then some.

I always liked film as a teaching tool - a way of getting exposed to ideas that had never been presented to me. It just wasn't on the list of career options where I grew up.

I know when I go outside, there'll be a van or two and they'll probably follow us four out of seven days a week, trying to get something. But I'm just going across town and I know they're just wasting their day, so it doesn't bother me anymore.

Fame makes you feel permanently like a girl walking past construction workers.

Let us be the ones who say we do not accept that a child dies every three seconds simply because he does not have the drugs you and I have. Let us be the ones to say we are not satisfied that your place of birth determines your right for life. Let us be outraged; let us be loud; let us be bold.
