At 35 I'm definitely starting to feel more like a grown-up than I ever have. There's nothing in my life that is childish or whimsical. Having fun is fantastic and I never want to lose a sense of that - and also I think you have to have that to put into your work or else it's going to feel stiff.

To make our way we must have firm resolve persistence tenacity. We must gear ourselves to work hard all the way. We can never let up.

Whatever you do do it with all your might. Work at it early and late in season and out of season not leaving a stone unturned and never deferring for a single hour that which can be done just as well now.

An audience is always warming but it must never be necessary to your work.

People don't understand that when I grew up I was never the most talented. I was never the biggest. I was never the fastest. I certainly was never the strongest. The only thing I had was my work ethic and that's been what has gotten me this far.

Never follow somebody else's path it doesn't work the same way twice for anyone... the path follows you and rolls up behind you as you walk forcing the next person to find their own way.

Every reader finds himself. The writer's work is merely a kind of optical instrument that makes it possible for the reader to discern what without this book he would perhaps never have seen in himself.

Never despair but if you do work on in despair.

I never expect to see a perfect work from an imperfect man.

I never did anything by accident nor did any of my inventions come by accident they came by work.

Luck? I don't know anything about luck. I've never banked on it and I'm afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work - and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't.

I never did anything worth doing by accident nor did any of my inventions come by accident they came by work.

It's true hard work never killed anybody but I figure why take the chance?

Most people treat the office manual the way they treat a software manual. They never look at it.

You become tyrannized by this notion that women must not only be treated equally but they must never fail.

I like American women. They do things sexually Russian girls never dream of doing - like showering.

As to honor - you know - it's a very fine mediaeval inheritance which women never got hold of. It wasn't theirs.

Make no mistake most women are well aware that they've never had it so good when they enter a spa or salon it is purely a hair/nails thing a prelude to an evening of guilt-free fun.

Whenever we have thanked these men and women for what they have done for us without exception they have expressed gratitude for having the chance to help - because they grew as they served.

I never expected to get the Tom Jones treatment and it amazes me that I do. Strangely it's women who throw their underwear at me when I'm performing live. My male fans tend to be quite shy. My female fans are wild. I never know what to do with all the lingerie that lands at my feet. Maybe I should open a shop.

Many differences are rooted in biology and reinforced through culture so it's important to acknowledge that. Because if you say men and women are the same and if male behaviour is the norm and women are always expected to act like men we will never be as good at being men as men are.

If we took away women's right to vote we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president.

A Code of Honor: Never approach a friend's girlfriend or wife with mischief as your goal. There are just too many women in the world to justify that sort of dishonorable behavior. Unless she's really attractive.

Growing up with the childhood that I had I learned to never let a man make me feel helpless and it also embedded a deep need in me to always stick up for women.
