First love is a kind of vaccination which saves a man from catching the complaint the second time.

If you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it.

People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.

What then is time? If no one asks me I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks I do not know.

I spent the first fourteen years of my life convinced that my looks were hideous. Adolescence is painful for everyone I know but mine was plain weird.

I feel like a hostage to fortune. Not that I am complaining. I wanted to play the role. But in truth I didn't think the show would be such a success. OK I thought it would fail. Not because it was bad. I was confident it was good but plenty of good things just sort of wither on the vine.

Rockefeller once explained the secret of success. 'Get up early work late - and strike oil.'

I believe in luck: how else can you explain the success of those you dislike?

We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like?

On set is where I feel comfortable. The red carpet stuff talking about the film explaining your own life it doesn't come naturally. It's all necessary stuff I suppose but it's not my strength.

You shouldn't get to live in society and give nothing back. People complain about their taxes yet they do nothing for the community. That makes me furious.

Whether you think a film will affect society or it's plain entertainment it's all excellent it's all noble.

When you come in to court as a plaintiff or as a defendant it is terribly important that you look up at the bench and feel that that person represents you and will understand you that that person is reflective of our community and of our society.

Bob Dylan has always sealed his decisions with the unexplainable. His motives for withholding the release of the magnificent 'Basement Tapes' will be as forever obscure as Brian Wilson's reasons for the destruction of the tapes for 'Smile.'

I don't mind a little Sturm und Drang. When I was doing 'Riding in Cars With Boys ' I wouldn't smile at anybody because my character Bev was angry at the world. I'm the opposite. Inside my head I'd be like God I'll explain to you at the end of shooting that I'm not this person.

Always keep your smile. That's how I explain my long life.

The assumption that nature is all there is and that nature has been governed by the same rules at all times and places makes it possible for natural science to be confident that it can explain such things as how life began.

Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do.

Science fiction has its own history its own legacy of what's been done what's been superseded what's so much part of the furniture it's practically part of the fabric now what's become no more than a joke... and so on. It's just plain foolish as well as comically arrogant to ignore all this to fail to do the most basic research.

Modern science cannot explain why the laws of physics are exactly balanced for animal life to exist.

Science will explain how but not why. It talks about what is not what ought to be. Science is descriptive not prescriptive it can tell us about causes but it cannot tell us about purposes. Indeed science disavows purposes.

Evolution seems to close the heart to some of the plainest spiritual truths while it opens the mind to the wildest guesses advanced in the name of science.

Though many have tried no one has ever yet explained away the decisive fact that science which can do so much cannot decide what it ought to do.

The world is full of strange phenomena that cannot be explained by the laws of logic or science. Dennis Rodman is only one example.
