What is forgiven is usually well remembered.

My eyes were made to erase all that is ugly.

What I wish to show when I paint is the way I see things with my eyes and in my heart.

The hardest thing about being famous is that people are always nice to you. You're in a conversation and everybody's agreeing with what you're saying - even if you say something totally crazy. You need people who can tell you what you don't want to hear.

My dad was in the army. World War II. He got his college education from the army. After World War II he became an insurance salesman. Really, I didn't know my dad very well. He and my mother split up after the war. I was raised by my maternal grandmother and grandfather, and by my mother.

All due respect and trying to be as modest as I can be, I am a dancer. But I don't think I would be on 'Dancing with the Stars,' mainly because I would be too shy.

Doing Shakespeare once is not fair to the play. I have been in Shakespeare plays when it's not until the last two or three performances when I even understand certain things. In the old days star actors would travel the world doing the same parts over and over again.

Money makes your life easier. If you're lucky to have it, you're lucky.

You do get very tired sometimes, when you're sitting around for hours in movies. You get depleted.

Some of the roles that are challenging are more in theater and TV. In movies, there's a tendency to cast actors in roles that have been successful for them. It has to pay for itself.

When my mother got home from work, she would take me to the movies. It was her way of getting out, and she would take me with her. I'd go home and act all the parts. It had a tremendous influence on my becoming an actor.

When I was younger, I would go to auditions to have the opportunity to audition, which would mean another chance to get up there and try out my stuff, or try out what I learned and see how it worked with an audience, because where are you gonna get an audience?

Great art is an instant arrested in eternity.

All men of action are dreamers.

He dares to be a fool, and that is the first step in the direction of wisdom.

We live in a world where to admit anything negative about yourself is seen as a weakness, when it's actually a strength. It's not a weak move to say, 'I need help.' In the long run, it's way better, because you have to fix it.

This will sound funny coming out of my mouth, but I like to play characters that have an intelligence. It doesn't matter if it's a physical intelligence or emotional intelligence.

I got into acting because my teachers kept nudging me into it. The power a teacher has to influence someone is so great. I can't think of a profession I have more respect for.

When I was a student at Mizzou, I was a daycare teacher. I did it because was a latchkey kid.

Medical attention is medical attention, whether it's for your elbow or for your teeth or for your brain. And it's important.

I was always good at being observationally funny - like, contributing something funny to the conversation.

I had no desire to get up onstage and tell jokes. I prefer to stand next to really funny people.

I remember opening my dad's closet and there were, like, 40 suits, every color of the rainbow, plaid and winter and summer. He had two jewelry boxes full of watches and lighters and cuff links. And just... he was that guy. He was probably unfulfilled in his life in many ways.

The arts are an even better barometer of what is happening in our world than the stock market or the debates in congress.

Fashion Week is like Christmas.

Thom Browne, Michael Bastian... all these people that I love, when I finally get to meet them, I'm like, 'You're a cool guy!'

I love everything about the holidays: the decorations, the parties, and spending time with friends and family. What I love most is that feeling of giving back. Every bit counts.

An embellished top with slim pants is great, even for a wedding.

A slick ponytail is a great way to add a modern, minimal look to your outfit.

I love my dad. There is no doubt about that. He is a wonderful man and a good person. Like many father/son relationships, we have our struggles, our misunderstandings, and our miscommunications. We are very different people, but also very similar at the same time.

I am very lucky to have the opportunity to travel to so many amazing destinations for work!

My hope always when I am working with a new client is that I will cultivate a relationship with them: develop a dialogue and a way of working. This makes it easy for a star to trust you.

Trends in fashion, design and pop culture are taking on more global influence, and of course, one thing that's always in style is color.

Sometimes when I'm being photographed, I hear the voice of this photographer who told me when I was about six while he was taking my school photo that I didn't have a nice smile, and I shouldn't smile in photos.

Luckily, I was raised by a kind of gypsy family, which is why I always get along better with people who worked in circuses than with kids of other actors. My mom was so carefree with us in a beautiful way. We were used to sleeping anywhere.

I hate short hair on men - the 'real' man is something I don't know. My dad was always playing with hairbands, making rings, while the women were wearing jeans, white T-shirts and Converse. That was the uniform at home.

Sister is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship.

It is an open question whether any behavior based on fear of eternal punishment can be regarded as ethical or should be regarded as merely cowardly.

Instead of being presented with stereotypes by age, sex, color, class, or religion, children must have the opportunity to learn that within each range, some people are loathsome and some are delightful.

I have a respect for manners as such, they are a way of dealing with people you don't agree with or like.

Anthropology demands the open-mindedness with which one must look and listen, record in astonishment and wonder that which one would not have been able to guess.

For the very first time the young are seeing history being made before it is censored by their elders.

Thanks to television, for the first time the young are seeing history made before it is censored by their elders.

I do not believe in using women in combat, because females are too fierce.

Women want mediocre men, and men are working to be as mediocre as possible.

It is utterly false and cruelly arbitrary to put all the play and learning into childhood, all the work into middle age, and all the regrets into old age.

I learned the value of hard work by working hard.

One of the oldest human needs is having someone to wonder where you are when you don't come home at night.

Fathers are biological necessities, but social accidents.

For all of nature's wonder and beauty, it is also hostile and unpredictable.
