Science and vision are not opposites or even at odds. They need each other. I sometimes hear other startup folks say something along the lines of: 'If entrepreneurship was a science then anyone could do it.' I'd like to point out that even science is a science and still very few people can do it let alone do it well.

I used to do a lot of interviews in the early '80s when my career started but it came to a point when I decided I didn't want to talk anymore and people kind of understood that and left me alone.

I would point out that I'm an actress for a reason! If I were popular in high school I would have considered another career because I wouldn't have been alone in my room making up other characters for myself. I definitely had growing pains. The popular kids didn't want anything to do with the girl who was starting the drama club.

I'm not at the point where I'd feel safe in a house alone. I would be really scared. I'm the kind of person that when I get up to go use the bathroom I have this big long hallway and I just know someone's going to jump out and get me.

Still intuitive assumptions about behavior is only the starting point of systematic analysis for alone they do not yield many interesting implications.

People talk about the conscience but it seems to me one must just bring it up to a certain point and leave it there. You can let your conscience alone if you're nice to the second housemaid.

Your experiences will be yours alone. But truth and best friendship will rarely if ever disappoint you.

Man alone is born crying lives complaining and dies disappointed.

To be perfectly honest I think that as I'm growing older I'm just growing more impatient. I'll be very happy if at some point people say 'Michael's grown wiser and softer in his old age.' But we'll have to wait and see what my next project is.

Almost all of your life is lived by the seat of your pants one unexpected event crashing into another with no pattern or reason and then you finally reach a point around my age where you spend more time than ever looking back. Why did this happen? Look where that led? You see the shape of things.

Because of my age and because there's more work on the small screen. What it's missing in quality it makes up for in quantity. From an actor's selfish point of view.

I don't know why people are so obsessed with age anyway. I mean 90 is the new 70 70 is the new 50 and 50 is the new 40 so the whole act-your-age thing? Only up to a point.

The chief role of the universities is to prolong adolescence into middle age at which point early retirement ensures that we lack the means or the will to enforce significant change.

Old age is not a disease - it is strength and survivorship triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments trials and illnesses.

I've lost touch with a lot of that boutique-type music just because of my age and raising my son and the multiple jobs I have at this point.

My dad encouraged us to fail. Growing up he would ask us what we failed at that week. If we didn't have something he would be disappointed. It changed my mindset at an early age that failure is not the outcome failure is not trying. Don't be afraid to fail.
