“Marriage functions best when both partners remain somewhat unmarried.”

I’m no syllogism incarnate, but my wife makes me look like Immanuel Kant.

It’s fantastic because I’ve been living thousands of lives, not only my life.

It is with passion and dedication that I will be attentive to the needs of women and fight relentlessly for their rights.

What’s incredible is that I’m 75 and still working.

I never felt scandal and confession were necessary to be an actress. I’ve never revealed my self or even my body in films. Mystery is very important.

If you enjoy your volunteering and charitable activities more than your career, it means your career is in serious need of an upgrade. In my opinion your career should be your best outlet for giving.

My best friend and I love to make fish faces.

The fact is that this conversation is going on at every level at every age, we’re all going, “God, what a jerk I’ve been,” “How could I have married that guy?” or “How could I have done this or that?” With time, this is the gift of being older, that you get to look back and say, “It wasn’t all about them.”

My heart pounded. I felt flushed with disgust and irritation. Why must I always have such obstacles to my writing?

I’m not concentrated or concerned with any other factors rather than just being able to do the best job that I can.

If I make a priority shift, I’ll make it because it’s best for me.

The best ideas must move you before they can move someone else.

Patrice O’Neal is the best comic I ever saw.
