“If someone thinks that peace and love are just a cliche that must have been left behind in the 60s, that’s a problem. Peace and love are eternal.”

I wouldn’t say I was a born writer; I’m a born thinker.

Love is the Answer. What was the Question?

When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.

The people have the power. All we have to do is awaken the power in the people.

Instant Karma is going to get you.

Always remember this: ‘A kiss will never miss, and after many kisses a miss becomes a misses.’

I cannot be what I am not.

Everyone deserves to believe they are beautiful.

If there is such a thing as a genius, I am one, and if there isn’t I don’t care.

Get back to where you once belonged.

Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.

Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.

Before Elvis there was nothing.

We all have Hitler in us, but we also have love and peace. So why not give peace a chance for once?

Don’t underestimate the importance of happiness. As long as you’re happy, who cares what you do?

The trouble with government as it is, is that it doesn’t represent the people. It controls them.

The cliches are that it’s the most generic Starsky and Hutch plot you can find.

To the young, cliches seem freshly minted.

I take a cliche and try to organize its forms to make it monumental. The difference is often not great, but it is crucial.

It is a cliche that most cliches are true, but then like most cliches, that cliche is untrue.

There is a cliche that men want their women to be ladies in public and hookers behind closed doors.

The challenge, really, on any new film is to try to avoid that and achieve a few moments that aren’t cliche.

I didn’t really think in terms of clichés or non-clichés.

I think people are always able to achieve more than they think they can. While that’s cliche, I don’t know if managers think about that enough. You have to set your sights extremely high.
