“They say the world used to be bigger. The world’s still the same, there’s just less in it.”

Trips to the dentist-I like to postpone that kind of thing.

Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live.

One day the people that didn’t believe in you will tell everyone how they met you.

It’s awful bad luck to bring a woman aboard the ship. It’s awful worse luck not to.

Keep moving forward and do what you have to do for you.

Once you get on the ship, everything is fine. Once you get on land, everything is not so fine.

If someone were to harm my family or a friend or somebody I love, I would eat them. I might end up in jail for 500 years, but I would eat them.

Attention is a strange sort of being, anyway, the idea of attention if someone appreciates your work. It’s always nice that someone appreciates your work.

I like the challenge of trying different things and wondering whether it’s going to work or whether I’m going to fall flat on my face.

Growing old is unavoidable, but never growing up is possible. I believe you can retain certain things from your childhood if you protect them – certain traits, certain places where you don’t let the world go.

I always felt like I was meant to have been born in another era, another time.

School’s a weird thing. I’m not sure it works.

Success doesn’t change you. It reveals you

My life used to be full of everything. Now if you aren’t with me I haven’t a thing in the world.

Plastic pollution is a global issue: killing wildlife, contaminating our oceans and waterways, and lasting far longer than it is used.

When I was growing up they used to say, “Robin, drugs can kill you.” Now that I’m 58 my doctor’s telling me, “Robin, you need drugs to live.” I realize now that my doctor is also my dealer.

We used to be hunter-gatherers, now we’re shopper-borrowers.

I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone.

I used to think, ‘How can I die without seeing every inch of this world?

The world went mad and used us as an excuse.

Knowing a great deal is not the same as being smart; intelligence is not information alone but also judgement, the manner in which information is coordinated and used.
