I don't take off my nail polish when I go home because I'm too lazy, and they're fine with it. Maybe the checkout at the grocery store's not so great with it, but they're fine with it. The distrust, the phobias, those are learned, those are taught. But the natural grace is to understand and to love.

I'm a Jewish son of Russian-Hungarian heritage parents. Humor was very important. My whole goal was to make my parents laugh. And my whole strategy as a young man was, if I could make them laugh, I could have enough time to figure out what to do next.

Love is a game that two can play and both win.

Negative attitude is nine times more powerful than positive attitude.

I guarantee you, yoga will compete with computers, music, sports, automobiles, the drug industry. Yoga will take over the world!

I have both English bulldog determination and Bengal tiger strength.

Every human being in this world is interested in certain things. Everybody has a hobby. Some people like art; I know nothing about it. Some people like books, some people like fishing, some people like music. I like to look at cars.

Natural hydration is a key factor in any type of sports performance.

You don't have to go looking for love when it's where you come from.

By nature, I'm a very positive person, and because I'm happy in myself, and in my life, and I've got a great husband, and beautiful children, and I have a job that I love that calls for a certain amount of emotional expression, I get to realise a lot of my dreams and aspirations.

Oh, I had, 'No one will ever fancy me!' I had that well into my teens. Even now I do not consider myself to be some kind of great, sexy beauty. I don't mind the way I'm ageing. No reason to panic just yet. I think I look my age, and that's fine.

I'm not very technically minded. I mean, I don't know how to do e-mail on computers.

I never had a desire to be famous... I was fat. I didn't know any fat famous actresses... You know, once a fat kid, always a fat kid. Because you always think that you just look a little bit wrong or a little bit different from everyone else. And I still sort of have that.

I was suddenly really famous, and I didn't know how to cope. I didn't know myself well enough as a person, number one, and as an actor, number two. I wanted to escape.

I know the true meaning of getting by by the skin of my teeth; I do. It doesn't matter whether you've got money or you haven't, whether you're famous or not. This is the case for all women, actually; you have to carry on. You always have to carry on. And you can, because you have to.

Before 'Titanic,' yes, I had done some things and, yes, I had been nominated for an Academy Award, but I had never been sort of world-famous. And I suppose, yes, I am really famous now. But I feel embarrassed to say that because it's just a bit daft for me.

The things that make me happiest in the whole world are going on the occasional picnic, either with my children or with my partner; big family gatherings; and being able to go to the grocery store - if I can get those things in, I'm doing good.

You know why I fear people's judgment? Because I know they're judging. I know they are.

The happiness I feel in having a family has brought me a real beauty.

Thank God I'm in touch with my emotions enough to be able to pick up my children, kiss them all over and say 'I love you' over and over.

Single mums do come in for a hard time. Society is incredibly judgmental. I know this.

I'm often drawn to characters that are more obviously one thing. They're passionate, and there is always an element of strength because I think every person possesses that in some way, even if they've experienced hardship in their lives.

It doesn't make any sense... that's why I trust it!

'Revolutionary Road' is a fascinating study of the human condition of a fragmenting marriage and the torment that these two people put themselves through in their efforts to try and find happiness and try and stay together, actually.

Marriage has made me safer.

I am a big believer in marriage.

It's very easy to be judgmental until you know someone's truth.

What I am very, very moved and struck by is that so many people in the world are often living a life that they hadn't planned for themselves. And they wake up one day and say, 'Hang on. Who am I? Is this really me? Is this what I really wanted?' And also, 'Can I change it? Have I got the courage to change it?'

'Harry Potter' really harnessed the imagination of so many young-adult minds, and it's the same with the 'Divergent' series.

Christmas is the day that holds all time together.

Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.

Death is the ugly fact which Nature has to hide, and she hides it well.

The saddest thing that befalls a soul is when it loses faith in God and woman.

I go into my library and all history unrolls before me.

Worldly wealth is the Devil's bait; and those whose minds feed upon riches recede, in general, from real happiness, in proportion as their stores increase, as the moon, when she is fullest, is farthest from the sun.

To enlarge or illustrate this power and effect of love is to set a candle in the sun.

One was never married, and that's his hell; another is, and that's his plague.

A quiet mind cureth all.

Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law.

A man content to go to heaven alone will never go to heaven.

Natural ability is important, but you can go far without it if you have the focus, drive, desire and positive attitude.

I'm appreciative of things going wrong. At first it sounds crazy, but how boring would life be if you just coasted along without any challenges? Without learning about who you really are through the process of going through the darker times? Without feeling the sense of elation when you reach even a small stepping stone?

The richest love is that which submits to the arbitration of time.

History is an endless repetition of the wrong way of living.

Travel can be one of the most rewarding forms of introspection.

The appalling thing is the degree of charity women are capable of. You see it all the time... love lavished on absolute fools. Love's a charity ward, you know.

Music was invented to confirm human loneliness.

Music is only love looking for words.

Like all young men I set out to be a genius, but mercifully laughter intervened.

Truth disappears with the telling of it.
