One thing has always been true: That book or that person who can give me an idea or a new slant on an old idea is my friend.
To make democracy work, we must be a nation of participants, not simply observers. One who does not vote has no right to complain.
A mind, like a home, is furnished by its owner, so if one's life is cold and bare he can blame none but himself. You have a chance to select from pretty elegant furnishings.
Men strive for peace, but it is their enemies that give them strength, and I think if man no longer had enemies, he would have to invent them, for his strength only grows from struggle.
A wise man fights to win, but he is twice a fool who has no plan for possible defeat.
Knowledge is awareness, and to it there are many paths, not all of them paved with logic.

If you just look at the number of roles for women versus the number of roles for men in any given film, there are always far more roles for men. That's always been true. When I went to college, I went to Julliard.

That was sort of acknowledgment for me of the fact that writers write more roles for men than they do for women.
