“There are no laurels in life, just new challenges.”

I have not lived as a woman. I have lived as a man. I’ve just done what I damn well wanted to, and I’ve made enough money to support myself, and ain’t afraid of being alone

Time is the stuff of which life is made.

The time to make up your mind about people is never.

As one goes through life, one learns that if you don’t paddle your own canoe, you don’t move.

Listen to the song of life.

I would have been a terrible mother because I’m basically a very selfish human being. Not that that has stopped most people going off and having children.

I have no romantic feelings about age. Either you are interesting at any age or you are not. There is nothing particularly interesting about being old – or being young, for that matter.

To be loved is very demoralizing.

I love rain. It’s lucky, I always think.

Acting is a nice childish profession – pretending you’re someone else and, at the same time, selling yourself.

I don’t care WHAT the say about me, as long as it’s not the truth.

You can say or write anything about me you like. Just don’t, for any reason, ever tell the truth.

I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun.

I never realized until lately that women were supposed to be the inferior sex.

Cold sober, I find myself absolutely fascinating.

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

You don’t overcome challenges by making them smaller but by making yourself bigger.

There will be times in South Africa when we will be challenged as a team. We have to stand up to that.

I will face the challenges of U.P. We will make U.P. an ideal state. People of the state and the Government of India are fully cooperating with me. U.P. will be an example for India.

The biggest test for any cricketer in England is the weather.

I look forward to the challenges.

If your work becomes a source of enjoyment and a challenge, it will never seem like work – it will be fun. If you ever feel that your work is a burden, there is no point carrying on with it.

Regardless of the challenges and obstacles that have been put in front of me, I am staying optimistic about the remainder of the year.

I may have had a lot of luck in my life, but I still need to find a challenge in the game.
