I've been writing in notebooks for 40 years or so.

Actually, my mother and Alfie came for three weeks' Christmas vacation and stayed for 21 years. I guess my mother never went back because she was lonely.

I have accomplished a lot, but it didn't happen overnight for me. I was 35 when I got the show, and had been working professionally for 15 years. It would be a lot weirder if I were in my early 20s and stumbled into it.

I've been lucky - I've been an actor for eight years and I've never been out of work.

If I find what I like, maybe in about five years we'll be able to afford to build a home in the country.

It took us in this country 11 years to get from the Declaration of Independence to the Constitution.

I lived with them in my studio in New York. And of course if I were doing that book today or even ten years, fifteen years later, I would have gone to where the wild ducks were and where I could study them - I would have gone to the country somewhere.

It might seem unfair to reward a person for having so much pleasure over the years, asking the maize plant to solve specific problems and then watching its responses.

We stopped doing my clothing line about five years ago, so it isn't available anymore.

I never look forward, because I have no idea about how any of it happened to getting here. I've no idea how the next five years are going to be.

For many years, our Messianic Jewish brothers and sisters have paid a great price. Other Jews have rejected them, and the Christian church would require they walk away from their traditions to fit into the Gentile culture. We must face these past wrongs.

It's embarrassing, isn't it? It took me 15 years to make an 18-minute movie.

I cannot sustain hate for longer than a couple of years.

In a few hundred years you have achieved in America what it took thousands of years to achieve in Europe.
