I was making my living from a joke about my appearance that I didn't understand and in a way still don't because when I look in a mirror it doesn't seem funny to me.

When I was a little kid I wrote this play about all these characters living in a haunted house. There was a witch who lived there and a mummy. When they were all hassling him this guy who bought the house - I can't believe I remember this - he said to them 'Who's paying the mortgage on this haunted house?' I thought that was really funny.

I used to sell furniture for a living. The trouble was it was my own.

While it's really hard to do at the same time I'm escaping my body which I really want to do. I'm living someone else's life. I get very intensely into the story into the interviews and the research. I'm experiencing things along with my subjects. I have a freedom I don't have in my physical life.

After the tragedy New Yorkers are more united than ever in their vision as well as in appreciation what living in freedom means - and that if we stand together we can accomplish anything.

To be honest I've always had far too much freedom. I had a job when I was 10. I started living on my own when I was 17 or 18. I've earned my own money I've traveled the world. What would I rebel against?

We are living in the excesses of freedom. Just take a look at 42nd Street and Broadway.

Victorious living does not mean freedom from temptation nor does it mean freedom from mistakes.

But if you can create an honorable livelihood where you take your skills and use them and you earn a living from it it gives you a sense of freedom and allows you to balance your life the way you want.

Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine freedom and a little flower.

Unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens. If you have them you have to take care of them! There is great freedom in simplicity of living. It is those who have enough but not too much who are the happiest.

Who is more to be pitied a writer bound and gagged by policemen or one living in perfect freedom who has nothing more to say?

Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine freedom and a little flower.

Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery.

Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?

I do not bring forgiveness with me nor forgetfulness. The only ones who can forgive are dead the living have no right to forget.

I would like to have you quote me Erich von Stroheim as having said on this day of this month of this year this one thing: you Americans are living on baby food.
