I've just been so lucky. I don't know if you're really able to take advantage of your full potential until you're older. There are a few people who are incredibly gifted and make it when they are very young, but I didn't. With women it takes longer. You just keep working and when you finally get it, it feels very, very nice.

Love doesn't drop on you unexpectedly; you have to give off signals, sort of like an amateur radio operator.

We are told to value ourselves without feedback, but if nobody is making a pass at you or trying to take you to Bermuda, how are you supposed to feel? Confident?

Money, if it does not bring you happiness, will at least help you be miserable in comfort.

The happiest people I know are not those who are the most beautiful, rich or famous. The happiest people I see are simply those who stay cheerful and try to cheer up others while getting through their own bad stuff

You know you can't hope yourself a better life - you must take yourself there.

You can have your titular recognition. I'll take the money and the power.
