“But only in their dreams can men be truly free. It was always thus and always thus will be.”

Most of all, I want to thank my father, up there, the man who when I said I wanted to be an actor, he said, ‘Wonderful. Just have a back-up profession like welding.’

There are no rules. Just follow your heart.

My children give me a great sense of wonder. Just to see them develop into these extraordinary human beings.

If we’re going to fight a disease, let’s fight one of the most terrible diseases of all, indifference.

Seize the day. Make your life extraordinary.

If women ran the world, we wouldn’t have wars, just intense negotiations every 28 days.

Make your life spectacular, I know I did.

What’s right is what’s left if you do everything else wrong.

I try to make sense of things. Which is why, I guess, I believe in destiny. There must be a reason that I am as I am. There must be.

Don’t mess with me, man, I’m a lawyer!

Reality: What a concept!

The idea of having a steady job is appealing.

You’re best when you’re not in charge. The ego locks the muse.

If you’re that depressed, reach out to someone. And remember, suicide is a permanent solution, to a temporary problem.

Self-reliance is the key to a vigorous life. A man must look inward to find his own answers.

I always thought the idea of education was to learn to think for yourself.

One intense hour is worth a dreamy day.

We set out with nothing but music as our dream, but we didn’t know where we were going, whether we were going uphill or downhill, or as we took a break after becoming tired, whether around the corner there was a paradise or a pitfall. That’s how we started.

Be careful what you dream: soon your dreams will be dreaming you.

To achieve your dreams, you must embrace adversity and make failure a regular part of your life. If you’re not failing, you’re probably not really moving forward.

My biggest concern is always the students who are working toward a certain career – when they limit themselves to just that one option. They need to know that the world is huge – it’s an ocean, and there are so many options. It’s not the end of the world if they don’t get to pursue an apparent childhood dream.

Be a dreamer. Have a sense of greatness. It has been said that if you can dream it, you can do it. And I believe that. Before your dream can become a reality, you have to see it in your own mind; see its fulfillment, whatever it may be.

If you wait for tomorrow to follow your dreams, by the time that you get there they’re gone.

Turn your nightmares into your dreams , some dreams don’t turn out the way you want them to , then wake up and turn and turn it around in your favour.
