Live and think like a poor man and you'll always be OK.

The biggest financial pitfall in life is divorce. And the biggest reason for divorce is marriage.

I've always been anti-marriage for men until they become mature. As a species we don't mature until we're in our 60s.

People who are the salt of the earth get up and go to a job that they hate.

I crave ideas, and when an idea hits me, it grips me and it tortures me until I master it.

I don't wait for the calendar to figure out when I should live life.

There is nothing that I would do ever to break my mother's heart.

You can't go through life and leave things the way they are. We can all make a difference, and if I die today, I know I made a difference.

It's in the history books, the Holocaust. It's just a phrase. And the truth is it happened yesterday. It happened to my mother. I never met my grandmothers or my grandfathers. They were all wiped up in the gas chambers of Nazi Germany.

I voted for President Bush, I voted for President Clinton, and, although I do want my vote back, I voted for President Obama.

Well, I'm like most Americans, we don't vote by party, we both by the person because a person is bigger than the party, which is why sometimes the Democrats get in and sometimes the Republicans get in.

I think I know it all, relatively speaking.

My mother had a horrific life. At fourteen, she was in the Nazi concentration camps. Her sense about life now is, every day above ground is a good day.

I want to do everything. I want to be the president, I want to learn Tae Kwan Do, I want to climb mountains. I'm always bugged by the notion that I can't do everything.

First, when I was 12, I saw a Spanish girl jumping rope. I never saw her face, but it was still the most beautiful sight I'd ever seen.

When you look at Clark Kent when he's working at the Daily Planet, he's a reporter. He doesn't fly through the air in his glasses and his suit.

I'm forbidden fruit. Once you go to certain households, mommy doesn't want you to see that dirty man who sticks his tongue out and spits out blood and all that stuff.

You know why I'm pulling your leg? Because I can't touch it from where I am.

When you really think about it, I'm not delusional enough to think that what I do is important to life as we know it on this planet. No. But neither is what you do.

My skin is more beautiful than yours. I would be quite more popular in jail if I so chose.
