I'm a director and a writer, and I'm used to having my way. I'm not used to being a vessel for other people.
I miss my mattress when I am gone; It's one thing I've made an impression on.
Shake and shake the catsup bottle none will come and then a lot'll.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.
That money talks, I'll not deny, I heard it once: It said, 'Goodbye'.
Libraries: Here is where people, one frequently finds, lower their voices, and raise their minds.

I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary.
I am between the Tories and the Lib Dems. I am fiscally conservative. I'm for strong foreign policy, but socially very liberal. I am not religious. That makes me feel uncomfortable with American Republicans. I don't feel at home anywhere, really. Labour under Tony Blair was not something I would associate myself with, but I didn't have a big problem with it. I have to make a choice between fiscal and the role of the state and social freedom.
Suppose a number of equal waves of water to move upon the surface of a stagnant lake, with a certain constant velocity, and to enter a narrow channel leading out of the lake. Suppose then another similar cause to have excited another equal series of waves, which arrive at the same time, with the first. Neither series of waves will destroy the other, but their effects will be combined.
I kept saying that I'd never live in L. A. , and I didn't think I would. But that's where the work is, and I ended up making a lot of friends there, and my old friends moved out to Los Angeles too. And also, I think when you're famous, its hard to live in a small town.
