I'm a character actress, plain and simple... Who can worry about a career? Have a life. Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again.

I'm making little changes in my life to take care of myself, like putting in a mile or two on my treadmill every day.

I want to live a normal life that I never had the opportunity to do for many years.

Only losers make decisions when things are bad. The time to rejig your life is the time when it's seemingly smooth.

I want to be a champion for the people I have fought for all my life - regular people.

On the whole, I now see my work as being an expression of my spiritual life and, because I look at it that way, I have a different centre. I go through the stress and pressure, but I think I'm lucky...

All the family gatherings, I'm too tired, or I can't because it conflicts with work... I have seven grandkids. I've been missing recitals and graduations. To me, it's just not worth it. There is a...

My mum, who died in 2011, was the most loving mother you could ask for. She was very compassionate, always a good listener, and her love was a constant throughout my life. She was very sympathetic,...

By providing our young children with opportunities for free, child-directed play, along with proper nutrition, we are setting them up for a lifetime of healthy habits, versus interventions needed...

Ever since the Beatles, the concept of lovable mop tops, it's a bit of a fantasy, but it's a lovely idea that people make wonderful music and live a wonderful life being friends together. Sadly, life...

For many years, tennis was the most important thing in my life. That was great. Nothing wrong with that.

Unfortunately, the record I did with Motley wasn't exactly a huge success. But working with those guys was a huge learning experience as well as a really creative time, so I had an absolute blast...

I'm honored and humbled to win the Nobel Prize. I thank all my friends for the support and assistance throughout my life.

Justin Bieber, I love to death. He's such a cool, ridiculous, much crazier kid in real life - more than he's really allowed to be, because he's a Unicorn and very rare.

Life gets busy and we choose the path of least resistance when it comes to bringing up our children.

I think people are very stiff. Money makes people stiff, and we want it, and we have to pay the penalty. I never agreed with stiffness. I think people have an understanding of what their life is. I...

After becoming famous, I've realised how overrated fame is. It gets in the way of normal life.

The surgery will always be a huge part of my life. I'm going to need to help people with weight problems for the rest of my life so that I can maintain my weight.

My idea of a delicious time is to read a book that is wonderful. But the ruling passion of my life is being a seeker after truth and the divine.

Songs, a while ago, became the medium through which I process most of the information that I receive and feel. But I go back and forth about whether this is all of life or whether you're missing...

I won't hold any illusions of changing the world or any such nonsense. But maybe, just maybe, I'm helping someone else change his or her life a little bit for the better, even if it just means giving...

Just like all great stories, our fears focus our attention on a question that is as important in life as it is in literature: What will happen next?

I don't like talking about myself. I don't like talking about my personal life.

But I've got to think of myself as the luckiest guy. Robert Johnson only had one album's worth of work as his legacy. That's all that life allowed him.

I was in my mid 20s when email finally took off. Until then, the phone was my primary way of connecting with the people in my life.

'Better Than Home,' the song, is about getting out of your hiding place and having the courage to live as loud as possible. It is about feeling the life that has been given and has been waiting for...

I have never, ever talked about my orientation or sexuality because whether I am heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, asexual, it is my concern. I refuse to talk about it... I have not been brought up...

Danger is ever-present in life, more for some than others.

We fought in 1974 - that was a long time ago. After 1981, we became the best of friends. By 1984, we loved each other. I am not closer to anyone else in this life than I am to Muhammad Ali. Why? We...

We cannot let fear and terror dictate how we live our lives, no matter what. Life is a blessing with an expiration date, and we must embrace it while we can.
