In some ways I've lived my life like a man, made my own decisions, etc. I've been as terrified as the next person, but you've got to keep going.

Only the really plain people know about love - the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they soon exhaust their talents.

I don't believe in religion. I believe the example of Christ. I believe in the example of a perfect human being that if you can live for other people away from yourself you will be happy. If you live for yourself you will be unhappy and then you will not be able to sleep or do anything else... finally. I think insofar, and I really believe this, insofar as people do live with the other fellow [God] in mind, they have to be happy you know? Because it raises you up.

Life is very hard, isn't it? It does kill you, after all.

You politicians remain professional because the voters remain amateur.

You don't pick who you fall in love with. There are so few people to love. It's hard for one adult to even like another. Almost impossible.

If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun.
