I'd rather be a failure at something I love than a success at something I hate.
If I paid ten dollars for a cigar, first I'd make love to it, then I'd smoke it.
My best advice: Fall in love with what you do for a living.
It's better to be happy doing something you love, even if you don't find success right away.
Fall in love with what you're going to do for a living. To be able to get out of bed and do what you love to do for the rest of the day is beyond words. I'd rather be a failure in something I love than be successful in something I hate.
Love is a lot like a backache. It doesn't show up on x-rays, but you know it's there.
I look better, feel better, make love better and I'll tell you something else....I never lied better.
Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.

I think I look about 40 to 45, so I like it.
Look to the future, because that is where you'll spend the rest of your life.

You've got to be honest; if you can fake that, you've got it made.
The most important thing in acting is honesty. If you can fake that, you've got it made.
