That's the beauty of being a comedian - it's the one job you're allowed to do that. We're lucky. We're really lucky.

Our situation today shows that beauty demands for itself at least as much courage and decision as do truth and goodness and she will not allow herself to be separated and banned from her two sisters without taking them along with herself in an act of mysterious vengeance.

It is shallow people who think beauty is frivolous or excessive. If you are bringing beauty and god you are enriching the country. Rice feeds the body books feed the mind beauty feeds the soul. It is one thing I can really be proud of and stand tall in the world.

Filipinos don't wallow in what is miserable and ugly. They recycle the bad into things of beauty.

You cannot control what happens to you but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you and in that you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.

Art allows people a way to dream their way out of their struggle.

The art of living does not consist in preserving and clinging to a particular mode of happiness but in allowing happiness to change its form without being disappointed by the change happiness like a child must be allowed to grow up.

Life is the only art that we are required to practice without preparation and without being allowed the preliminary trials the failures and botches that are essential for training.

We're all entitled to opinions about how art institutions should behave and entitled to voicing those opinions through whatever means available to us. We're also allowed to change or modify our opinions.

If only we could persuade galleries to observe a fallow period in which for two months every other year new and old works of art could be sold in back rooms and all main galleries would be devoted to revisiting shows gone by.

One of the interesting things here is that the people who should be shaping the future are politicians. But the political framework itself is so dead and closed that people look to other sources like artists because art and music allow people a certain freedom.

Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

After World War II great strides were made in modern Japanese architecture not only in advanced technology allowing earthquake resistant tall buildings but expressing and infusing characteristics of traditional Japanese architecture in modern buildings.

In architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more direct and pleasurable route.

Allowing children to show their guilt show their grief show their anger takes the sting out of the situation.

Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up.

The world needs anger. The world often continues to allow evil because it isn't angry enough.

After all these years it's still amazing what Obama is allowed to get away with. He says low gas prices in 2009 were caused by a terrible economy but then claims that the lower number of illegal aliens crossing the border is because of his border policies not the same lousy economy.

Listen a cable series is a beautiful thing because there's such amazing writing happening on television and it's a schedule that allows you to do a play or two. There's a reason everybody wants that job!

Big dress cocktails party - I love that. It is my work but my work allow me to have glamour to wear beautiful and amazing dresses to go to big ceremonies.

It's nice because success has allowed me to have a blast on stage to be in the studio with amazing people but I find it all a bit bizarre.

I didn't need clothes. I was allowed the opportunity to act out moments you don't get the opportunity to experience in your own life let alone as a character in a film. I didn't feel naked.

My overcoat is worn out my shirts also are worn out. And I ask to be allowed to have a lamp in the evening it is indeed wearisome sitting alone in the dark.
