I think that we could be more careful about what we're saying to young women in terms of their expectations. It's unrealistic to expect people to always be in designer clothes. Girls growing up deserve more freedom in how they look and how they feel about how they look.

Freedom must be gained step by step slowly. Freedom is a food which must be carefully administered when people are too hungry for it.

I don't like food that's too carefully arranged it makes me think that the chef is spending too much time arranging and not enough time cooking. If I wanted a picture I'd buy a painting.

You have to be careful not to let your fear stop you doing things. It's very exciting to test yourself.

Therefore when I considered this carefully the contempt which I had to fear because of the novelty and apparent absurdity of my view nearly induced me to abandon utterly the work I had begun.

I have to make it my job to be careful with my family.

People in their handlings of affairs often fail when they are about to succeed. If one remains as careful at the end as he was at the beginning there will be no failure.

Never walk away from failure. On the contrary study it carefully and imaginatively for its hidden assets.

You can use your means in a good and bad way. In German-speaking art we had such a bad experience with the Third Reich when stories and images were used to tell lies. After the war literature was careful not to do the same which is why writers began to reflect on the stories they told and to make readers part of their texts. I do the same.

Don't think your dreams don't come true because they do. You'd better be careful what you wish for. And I truly and honestly - one day I am doing the 'Beaver' show and I said 'This is the show I have always wanted to do.'
