As many of you know I travel a good bit and do not get to see my friends and family as much as I would like.

I travel for work but recently friends said I should take major trips.

Your lost friends are not dead but gone before advanced a stage or two upon that road which you must travel in the steps they trod.

I want to see friends more and travel more.

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry but by demonstrating that all peoples cry laugh eat worry and die it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other we may even become friends.

Sometimes your friends are your lovers or have been at one time.

Friends are thieves of time.

Be of service. Whether you make yourself available to a friend or co-worker or you make time every month to do volunteer work there is nothing that harvests more of a feeling of empowerment than being of service to someone in need.

Nobody sees a flower really it is so small. We haven't time and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.

The loss of a friend is like that of a limb time may heal the anguish of the wound but the loss cannot be repaired.

Everywhere is nowhere. When a person spends all his time in foreign travel he ends by having many acquaintances but no friends.

It pays to know the enemy - not least because at some time you may have the opportunity to turn him into a friend.

Time is the friend of the wonderful company the enemy of the mediocre.

To help a friend in need is easy but to give him your time is not always opportune.

When friends asked me Can we help? I'd say Not unless you can alter time speed up the harvest or teleport me off this rock. I used that line from Star Wars.

There's no ex out there who I'm not friends with today and I'm extremely thankful for that.

I decided that if I were to write a teen series I'd want to set it in a place that was familiar to me - Manhattan where I'd grown up - and I'd model the characters on myself and my friends.

Being a teen can be tough. Just try to surround yourself with really good friends that really have your back and also be a really good friend to those who really care about you. If you're not sure about certain things talk to your friends that you trust and your family.

Friendships in childhood are usually a matter of chance whereas in adolescence they are most often a matter of choice.

Standing beneath the white light of an Apple store is like standing on a Stanley Kubrick movie set. His '2001: A Space Odyssey' predicted Jobs and a future where technology was our friend. Kubrick of course didn't like what he saw. And occasionally I have my doubts.

I have friends who have a CD mastering plant in Hollywood and they are very sceptical about European record labels' understanding of digital technology.

My father was a teacher and there were teachers all around his friends they were working for the Government and their behaviour was within strictly limited areas.

I was 20 years old working as a roofer and a telemarketer and driving a taxi just barely getting by. A friend of a friend suggested I try acting. I was like 'Why? What am I going to do? Community theater?' But I took a class and the teacher thought that I had potential so I moved to Vancouver and started auditioning.

A friend of mine said no matter what I do I always look like an English teacher. She actually said you still look like a Campbell's Soup kid.
