“When life hits you pretty hard, you can go into a dark corner.”

In the movies, I kill guys with an axe. In real life, I can’t control a nine-year-old girl.

I have great expectations for the future, because the past was highly overrated.

When you’re scared, when you’re hanging on, when life is hurting you, then you’re going to see what you’re really made of.

With a lot of comedians, one of their major attributes is that they look comedic, with a certain hangdog or manic expression. I look like the neighborhood bully. That doesn’t elicit laughter.

I’m the Hiroshima of love.

No one will hit you harder than life itself. It doesn’t matter how hard you hit back. It’s about how much you can take, and keep fighting, how much you can suffer and keep moving forward. That’s how you win.

I watch a lot of news, and I watch musical shows because I think the music of the young people is really their news reports. They let you know how their country is going through their eyes, and about their experiences in the everyday shock of growing up.

I don’t fall into the physical manifestation of a man of letters. So I guess people assume the scripts are delivered to me under the door.

The way to be successful in Hollywood is to be as obnoxious as the next guy.

The only happy artist is a dead artist, because only then you can’t change. After I die, I’ll probably come back as a paintbrush.

We do two things in life: We race the clock and everything is a struggle. One way or not, it’s a metaphorical battle all of the time.

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Now if you know what you’re worth. Then go out and get what you’re worth.

I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.

I realized, the older I get, the more difficult life becomes. It’s not easier, it’s more difficult.

It would be great to be able to pass on to someone all of the successes, the failures, and the knowledge that one has had. To help someone, avoid all the fire, pain and anxiety would be wonderful.

When you turn the corner And you run into yourself Then you know that you have turned All the corners that are left.

Heaven can be found in the most unlikely corners.

Perhaps their voices never leave us and we spend our lives fumbling for quiet corners where we can hear them most.

I’m an introvert somewhat. There could be a room full of people, I’ll go stand in the corner.

I rejoice in a belief that intellectual light will spring up in the dark corners of the earth.

It strikes me that all our knowledge about the structure of our Earth is very much like what an old hen would know of the hundred-acre field in a corner of which she is scratching.

Patience is always rewarded and romance is always round the corner!

I could not at any age be content to take my place in a corner by the fireside and simply look on.
