Every day each of us wakes up, reaches into drawers and closets, pulls out a costume for the day and proceeds to dress in a style that can only be called preposterous.

Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young.

Replace the words "have to" with "get to" and watch how the cold rain on your life changes to sunshine.

Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself. Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

The movies we love and admire are to some extent a function of who we are when we see them.

Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.

Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. The older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.
