Friends have suggested that I am the least qualified person to talk about happiness because I am often down and sometimes profoundly depressed. But I think that's where my qualification comes from. Because to know happiness it helps to know unhappiness.

I visited those friends who'd just had a baby and she was washing dishes and he was cleaning the house and I burst with happiness. And in their minds they were in this terrible domestic rut.

I'm passionate about everything like my family and friends. Anybody I am talkin' to is gonna be bona fide real. There is no substitution for happiness. Period.

Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness of existence.

True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends but in the worth and choice.

When a man laughs at his troubles he loses a great many friends. They never forgive the loss of their prerogative.

My father always used to say that when you die if you've got five real friends then you've had a great life.

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies but just as much to stand up to our friends.

A lot of Jews are great friends of mine.

I was on the yearbook staff so I would take out film cameras and Nikons and take photos around school and at sporting events and things like that. We had a darkroom as well. I just loved it. I also saved up for a video camera to video my friends and cut and paste the videos together and I gave them to all of my friends for graduation.
