“I’m a legend because I’ve survived over a long period of time and still seem to be master of my fate – I’m still paddling the goddamned boat myself.”

It would be a terrific innovation if you could get your mind to stretch a little further than the next wisecrack.

Don’t moan, don’t whine, don’t blame. Just get on with it.

If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun.

Life is hard. After all, it kills you.

Trying to be fascinating is an asinine position to be in.

Loved people are loving people.

Life can be wildly tragic at times, and I’ve had my share. But whatever happens to you, you have to keep a slightly comic attitude. In the final analysis, you have got not to forget to laugh.

I don’t believe in marriage. It’s bloody impractical. ‘To love, honor, and obey.’ If it weren’t, you wouldn’t have to sign a contract.

He’s worked his entire life and he’s never lived a single moment, I mean not a moment, in the real world.

If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.

You can’t change the music of your soul.

Without discipline, there’s no life at all.

Dressing up is a bore. At a certain age, you decorate yourself to attract the opposite sex, and at a certain age, I did that. But I’m past that age.

Acting is the perfect idiot’s profession.

I like to move fast, and wearing high heels was tough, and low heels with a skirt is unattractive. So pants took over.

The anvil of justice is planted firm, and fate who makes the sword does the forging in advance.

The future was with Fate. The present was our own.

The truth is that Fate does not go out of its way to be dramatic.

What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.

Man does not control his own fate. The women in his life do that for him.

Be active! Take on responsibility! Work for the things you believe in. If you do not, you are surrendering your fate to others.

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together,but do so with all your heart.

I believe that every interaction is an act of fate in some way, that we’re meant to interact with them, and it’s our job to flesh that out and experience it to the fullest and learn the lessons we’re meant to.
