"I can't think of another actor who acquired stardom so quickly, who held it for such a short time, and then kept it for such a long time.

I don't think there's another example like it in the entire history of movies."

-- Leonard Maltin

While it is true that each life is in and of Divine Being, hence always one with it, in order that this great fact bear fruit in individual lives, each one must be conscious of it; he or she must know it in thought, and then live continually in this consciousness.”
“The most important thing for a forward is speed of thought. Top players read the game.”
“The search for human freedom can never be complete without freedom for women.”
“I wondered what you'd have on the side with a plate of Deep Fried Anxiety. Pickles? Coleslaw? Potato-strychnine mash?”
“I would like to do comedy. I can be a bit of a Jim Carrey. I was always the class clown.”
