I wasn't with Joseph but I believe him. My faith did not come to me through science and I will not permit so-called science to destroy it.

A person who has sympathy for mankind in the lump faith in its future progress and desire to serve the great cause of this progress should be called not a humanist but a humanitarian and his creed may be designated as humanitarianism.

Success represents the 1% of your work which results from the 99% that is called failure.

Failure after long perseverance is much grander than never to have a striving good enough to be called a failure.

I don't believe in the so-called Olympic spirit. I speak from personal experience. When China hosted the Games it failed to include the people. The event was constructed without regard for their joy.

To pursue a so-called Third Way is foolish. We had our experience with this in the 1960s when we looked for a socialism with a human face. It did not work and we must be explicit that we are not aiming for a more efficient version of a system that has failed.

Disease is an experience of a so-called mortal mind. It is fear made manifest on the body.

I did a play called Throne of Straw when I was 11 at the Odyssey Theatre in Los Angeles. It became really clear to me at that point that I enjoyed acting more than any other experience I was having.

No experience is a cause of success or failure. We do not suffer from the shock of our experiences so-called trauma - but we make out of them just what suits our purposes.

Mistakes are painful when they happen but years later a collection of mistakes is what is called experience.

Just as modern mass production requires the standardization of commodities so the social process requires standardization of man and this standardization is called equality.

I wanted to help raise awareness so I created an environmental foundation called Just Within Reach.

I think an old style of addressing environmental problems is ebbing but the rise of the so-called conservative political movement in this country is not a trend towards the future but a reaction to this very broad shift that we are undergoing.

If people destroy something replaceable made by mankind they are called vandals if they destroy something irreplaceable made by God they are called developers.

They basically said that if I didn't show up for school they'd mark me present they wouldn't send the truant officer after me. At 16 I enrolled in something called continuing education. Once a month I'd go out to Jamaica but I didn't take it seriously.

It is just called Continuing Legal Education. You can go to lectures you can even listen to tapes on airplanes - they want you to stay current. So you do have to stay current to maintain your license even if you are not practicing.

The Founding Fathers in their wisdom decided that children were an unnatural strain on parents. So they provided jails called schools equipped with tortures called an education.

For all my education accomplishments and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.

The so-called modern education with all its defects however does others so much more good than it does the Negro because it has been worked out in conformity to the needs of those who have enslaved and oppressed weaker peoples.

Too much of what is called 'education' is little more than an expensive isolation from reality.

I have my own production company called Urban Dreams.

When I was a kid I have two dreams. I want to be a baseball player. Hometown Hiroshima has a Japanese baseball franchise team called Hiroshima Carps. You know and then I want to be a sushi chef. I want to make own restaurant - sushi restaurant.

We all have our time machines. Some take us back they're called memories. Some take us forward they're called dreams.

In L.A. I get a meal delivery service called Diet Designs. I like a nice butter lettuce salad with some avocado fresh grapefruit shredded chicken breast and raw almond slices with a sesame vinaigrette dressing. I also love juicing and am kind of obsessed with it.
