Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Most of the things we decide are not what we know to be the best. We say yes merely because we are driven into a corner and must say something.

This whole beauty thing is something I've never comprehended.

Every article on these islands has an almost personal character which gives this simple life where all art is unknown something of the artistic beauty of medieval life.

After 'Freaks and Geeks ' I dealt with several producers who wanted to cover up all my beauty marks every single mole on my body.

I mean the beauty of being a writer is it's not like being a swimmer. When they were talking about our Olympic swimmers and they'd say 'Oh she's so old ' and she's all of 25 or something.

I really wanted there to be something in my life that I enjoy just for the beauty of it.
