My goals have changed throughout my life. At one time it was winning awards selling out concert dates selling more albums than anyone else. Now my goals are to see my grandchildren grown live a long and healthy life with my family and friends and travel the world.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights describes the family as the natural and fundamental unit of society. It follows that any choice and decision with regard to the size of the family must irrevocably rest with the family itself and cannot be made by anyone else.

I understand what it's like to come with your family and to uproot yourself and come to another culture. You need a lot of support. People say 'She's got her daughter she's got her husband.' Yeah but she hasn't got anyone else.

My family isn't really all that different from anyone else's. Well maybe they're a bit more entertaining.

And when I was young my family was perfectly nice. I write a lot about it as you noticed. But it was rather limited. I think I don't think anyone in my family would really feel I'd done them an injustice by saying that. We didn't see many people. There were many books. It was as if I wanted to get away from home.

I don't think anyone has a normal family.

If God can work through me he can work through anyone.

You need to develop somehow a huge amount of faith and confidence in yourself because there's a lot of rejection throughout an actor's life and you have to believe in yourself more than anyone else.

I'm a lapsed Quaker. I don't go to meetings any more. But I'm very drawn to Catholicism - all that glitter. I'd love to be a Catholic. I think it would be fantastic - faith forgiveness absolution extreme unction - all these wonderful words. I don't think anyone who was ever born a Catholic hasn't died a Catholic no matter how lapsed they are.

Anyone who really studies Catholicism deeply is aware of the mystical nature of our faith. Even references to Christ's mystical body has connections to that principle.

Your faith in yourself is all you will ever have. Don't let anyone take it away from you ever.

I have written too much history to have faith in it and if anyone thinks I'm wrong I am inclined to agree with him.

Trust is not the same as faith. A friend is someone you trust. Putting faith in anyone is a mistake.

Anyone who is to find Christ must first find the church. How could anyone know where Christ is and what faith is in him unless he knew where his believers are?

I've always embraced failure as a noble pursuit. It allows you to be anti whatever anyone wants you to be and to break all the rules.

Failure to accord credit to anyone for what he may have done is a great weakness in any man.

People were being so mean as a result of my ability - a gift really. So I think that's what makes me fight harder to provide an option to aspiring kids or artists. I wouldn't want anyone to go through what I went through... to see a little girl or a little dancer experience such unnecessary rejection.

Any place that anyone can learn something useful from someone with experience is an educational institution.

Anyone who teaches knows that you don't really experience a text until you've taught it in loving detail with an intelligent and responsive class.

I've learned through experience that life is never that bad. The secret is just paying attention to how you feel and not letting anyone else dictate what in your heart you know is right.

If we didn't want to upset anyone we would make films about sewing but even that could be dangerous. But I think finally in a film it is how the balance is and the feelings are. But I think there has to be those contrasts and strong things within a film for the total experience.

It has been my experience that if we make the effort to listen to people when we meet them and work to get to know them a little it is then easy to find something likeable in practically anyone.

Is there anyone so wise as to learn by the experience of others?

What each must seek in his life never was on land or sea. It is something out of his own unique potentiality for experience something that never has been and never could have been experienced by anyone else.
