“A lot changed when I had Natasha. I’m a survivor.”

If I didn’t believe in what I’m doing, I’d rather go to work in a dime store.

From ages 10 to 12 or so, I barely remember anything.

There are certain stars who are not actors. I don’t want to be that type.

I was so young, and making movies, going to the studio every morning at dawn was magic.

The times that I have done something that I didn’t respond to emotionally right away, it’s generally not worked out too well.

I didn’t like children. I didn’t think of myself as a child. I didn’t like any of the things other children were interested in.

For the first time I feel an inner emotional security. There is reality and dependability. My life revolves around Richard and the baby.

I’ve been terrified of the water, and yet it seems I’m forced to go into in on every movie that I make.

I thought it was a wonderful line – right on the cutting room floor.

My mother used to tell me, No matter what they ask you, always say yes. You can learn later.

I’m just going to have to grow old, because I’m too terrified to have anything done.

I never knew motherhood could be so truly gratifying until I had Natasha.

At night, when the sky is full of stars and the sea is still you get the wonderful sensation that you are floating in space.

I’m not very bright about money. I’m not domestic either. If I don’t learn how to cook, maybe I won’t have to.

Stardom is only a by-product of acting. I don’t think being a movie star is a good enough reason for existing.

I couldn’t even go to the bathroom alone. My mother or a social worker always went with me.

There’s the hype stuff that people love for five minutes and then there’s the stuff that changes cultures and shifts how you look at music. And then there’s that rare point where that hype stuff changes the game.

It doesn’t matter how strong your opinions are. If you don’t use your power for positive change, you are, indeed, part of the problem.

Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator. And change has its enemies.

If that vital spark that we find in a grain of wheat can pass unchanged through countless deaths and resurrections, will the spirit of man be unable to pass from this body to another?

Let a new place change you; come back different.

I can’t change myself. I’m Mike Tyson. I’m a regular kid from the getto striving to do something positive with myself. I happen to fight well.

Changing your nature is the hardest thing to do. But I discovered that you can be who you choose to be.

There should be change – the West should understand our music and culture, and vice versa. With such collaboration, artists can come closer to each other and come to know each other.
