The hardest work that actors have done, including myself, is on poorly written scripts. And when you first start out you do anything. I did a lot of crap. I did more crap than I can tell you.

The biggest shortage in the world is not oil or food-it's leadership. Why is it such a scarce resource? Because egos get involved.

Leaders get paid a lot more than those they lead, they get paid for their knowledge and skill...but they are no better as a person.

Marriage is so unlike everything else. There is something even awful in the nearness it brings. Even if we loved someone else better than - than those we were married to, it would be no use. I mean, marriage drinks up all our power of giving or getting any blessedness in that sort of love. I know it may be very dear, but it murders our marriage, and then the marriage stays with us like a murder, and everything else is gone.
