“Anything one does every day is important and imposing and anywhere one lives is interesting and beautiful.”

I like a thing simple but it must be simple through complication. Everything must come into your scheme, otherwise you cannot achieve real simplicity.

One does not get better but different and older and that is always a pleasure.

Nothing is more interesting than that something that you eat.

Forensics is eloquence and reduction.

You are brilliant and subtle if you come from Iowa and really strange and you live as you live and you are always very well taken care of if you come from Iowa.

I am I because my little dog knows me.

Nothing could bother me more than the way a thing goes dead once it has been said.

This joy you feel is life.

Every day is a renewal, every morning the daily miracle. This joy you feel is life.

Let me listen to me and not to them.

There is too much fathering going on just now and there is no doubt about it fathers are depressing.

Nothing has happened today except kindness.

There ain’t no answer. There ain’t gonna be any answer. There never has been an answer. That’s the answer.

You’ll be old and you never lived, and you kind of feel silly to lie down and die and to never have lived, to have been a job chaser and never have lived.

Ladies there is no neutral position for us to assume.

Romance is everything.

May I suggest, instead of a war to feel better about yourself, perhaps… sit-ups? Maybe a fruit cup? Eight glasses of water a day?

The only thing I have to say to people – try being the hero of your own world one day.

There were days on that show where I had to go in and record a song, then I had to rehearse the dance for that song, and then I had to go and shoot a separate scene. That would be one day. So yeah, it was about the value of time and being prepared, and not to freak out.

Try to be in the day. Try to not have today stolen from you by anxiety about yesterday or tomorrow.”

Tomorrow we’ll not only seize the day, we’ll throttle it.

You live day by day. You can’t build your life.

If you wake up / And the day feels broken / Just lean into the crack

You realize that no matter how much you punish yourself, you always seem to wake up the next day.
