“To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it.”

I am an artist, not a politician.

Laughter is very close to tears and vice versa.

Our tragedies are only as big as we make them.

My tramp is made up of mimicry.

Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, not even our troubles.

The desire for peace is universal.

Laughter is the tonic, the relief, the surcease from pain.

I’m unconscious while I’m acting. I live the role and am not myself.

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

In all truth there is the seed of falsehood.

That is all there is in life – beauty. You find that and you have found everything.

Your naked body should only belong to those who fall in love with your naked soul.

We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that.

To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune.

By simple common sense I don’t believe in God, in none.

In the end, everything is a gag.

Forever continue to love, heal and educate the children. The future shines on them.

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

I have never been remotely ashamed of having been depressed. Never. What’s to be ashamed of? I went through a really rough time and I am quite proud that I got out of that.

No individual is isolated. He who is sad, saddens others.

Time heals all wounds, and you will come back better and stronger.

If we are strong, our strength will speak for itself. If we are weak, words will be of no help.

There are two ways you can go with pain: You can let it destroy you or you can use it as fuel to drive you.

We pretend to be strong because we are weak.
