I think we have systematically and critically harmed ourselves and many young people by advising them not to try things.

I don't trust any revolution where love is not allowed.

Because of our routines we forget that life is an ongoing adventure.

The children to whom we read simple stories may or may not show gratitude, but each boon we give strengthens the pillars of the world.

I made the decision to quit show business. Give up the skintight dresses and manicured smiles. The false concern over sentimental lyrics. I would never again work to make people smile inanely and would take on the responsibility of making them think.

If you happen to fall in love with someone in another race, it's more difficult, because you have to translate yourself.

I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
