With integrity, you have nothing to fear, since you have nothing to hide. With integrity, you will do the right thing, so you will have no guilt.

I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific.

Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not.

Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Authors by the hundreds can tell you stories by the thousands of those rejection slips before they found a publisher who was willing to ‘gamble’ on an unknown.

I like to keep mobile. It keeps my mind awake.

We must become bigger than we have been: more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook. We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice, owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations but to our fellow men within the human community.

When I’m working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.

Success is dependent upon the glands – sweat glands.

There are no traffic jams on the extra mile.

I did not breeze in there thinking: ‘I’m going to nail this.’ My heart rate was not low when I was doing the Golden Globes. I wanted to do well. It’s very bizarre to be in a room where everybody in your audience is famous. But also: it’s an awards show!

When you try to come for me, I keep on flourishing.

Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality.

Your biggest risk isn’t failing, it’s getting too comfortable.
