No sense in being a grifter if it's the same as being a citizen.

I never ask my wife about my flaws. Instead I try to get her to ignore them and concentrate on my sense of humor.

The accusation is always on the first page, and the retraction on page 19.

I want to acknowledge luck, the benevolence of it in my life, and the brutality of it in the lives of others.

The big difference between people is not between the rich and the poor, the good and the evil. The biggest of all differences between people is between those who have had pleasure in love and those who haven't.

I never ask my wife about my flaws. Instead I try to get her to ignore them and concentrate on my sense of humor. You don't want any woman to look under the carpet because there's lots of flaws underneath. Joanne believes my character in a film we did together, "Mr. and Mrs. Bridge" comes closest to who I really am. I personally don't think there's one character who comes close... but I learned a long time ago not to disagree on things that I don't have a solid opinion about.

Fill the moment and find variety.
