A lot of the fun lies in trying to penetrate the mystery and this is best done by saying over the lines to yourself again and again till they pass through the stage of sounding like nonsense and finally return to a full sense that had at first escaped notice.

The trite saying that honesty is the best policy has met with the just criticism that honesty is not policy. The real honest man is honest from conviction of what is right not from policy.

It is no use saying 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.

Now I'm not saying I'm fashionable but there are sociological interests that matter to me things that are theoretical political intellectual and also concerned with vanity and beauty that we all think about but that I try to mix up and translate into fashion.

No matter what a woman's appearance may be it will be used to undermine what she is saying and taken to individualize - as her personal problem - observations she makes about the beauty myth in society.

It got very tedious saying the same jokes in the same way with the same attitude.

I saw 'Taxi Driver ' and 'Taxi Driver' kind of saved my life. The scene where Robert De Niro is looking at himself in the mirror saying 'You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Who the hell else are you talkin' to?' That's the scene that changed my life by changing my attitude about acting.

I do support a sex-positive attitude for young people. Use condoms that's important. I love the idea that promiscuity can be healthy but it's got some dodgy crevasses. Ooh that's a bad reference! But it's got some dangerous cavities there. You know what I'm saying.

It goes without saying that the Jewish people can have no other goal than Palestine and that whatever the fate of the proposition may be our attitude toward the land of our fathers is and shall remain unchangeable.

Even if people do wrong we're social animals so what can we do about stopping them doing the same things in future? Saying people are 'bad' or 'evil' is just an unwillingness to engage an unwillingness to try to empathise. That sanctimonious attitude doesn't help anyone.
