What I loved about 'Summer' was that they were these four bright kids with a wonderful future. In a way she was the one with the brains and then you have the beauty queen and the jock and the introvert.

The reason that the all-American boy prefers beauty to brains is that he can see better than he can think.

Doors open because you're beautiful but I wouldn't cultivate beauty to the exclusion of brains.

We have magnificent brains but we use a great deal of our brilliance to keep ourselves stuck and ignorant to keep ourselves from not shining. We are so afraid of our beauty and radiance and brilliance because it scared the adults around us when we were children.

Beauty can't amuse you but brainwork - reading writing thinking - can.

Beauty and brains pleasure and usability - they should go hand in hand.

Some guys say beauty is only skin deep. But when you walk into a party you don't see somebody's brain. The initial contact has to be the sniffing.

Today's students can put dope in their veins or hope in their brains. If they can conceive it and believe it they can achieve it. They must know it is not their aptitude but their attitude that will determine their altitude.

I'd love to go to art school. I'd love to learn how to draw. I'd love to be fluent in Spanish. I'd like to be a brain surgeon.

Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs.
