Person
(page 10)
Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own.
A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.
I wouldn't wish any specific thing for any specific person - it's none of my business. But the idea that a four-year degree is the only path to worthwhile knowledge is insane. It's insane.
I moved from a mountain with one traffic light to New York City when I was 17, and it was an amazing, eye opening, creative adventure. I would walk through the streets of Manhattan looking up at these huge buildings, amazed that I didn't know a single person in any of them.
To the world you may be one person but to one person you may be the world.
Motherhood has made me a much better person. I see everything from a new perspective — with a sense of wonderment.
In my own relationships, I know that I should break up with someone who doesn't encourage me to be strong and make my own choices and do what's best in my life, so if you're dating someone who doesn't want you to be the best person you can be, you shouldn't be dating them.
I wash my own dishes; I do my own laundry. I'm not a glamorous person at all, not at all.
I'm not an activist; I don't look for controversy. I'm not a political person, but I'm a person with compassion. I care passionately about equal rights. I care about human rights. I care about animal rights.
I'm proud of myself. I could break and go get all this plastic surgery and get my nose fixed and get lipo or do whatever, but I haven't chosen to do that because I know I'm a great person. I'm pretty damn hot, if you ask me.
I know I may have done some bad things, but I'm not a bad person.
They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice... that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.
The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.
Difficulties are things that show a person what they are.
I think it's the person's conviction that really carries a person.
For me, you don't ever want to be defined by the color of your skin. You want to be defined by your work ethic, the person that you are, your character, your personality. That's what I've tried to go out and do.
Avoid using cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs as alternatives to being an interesting person.
No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
People have to render judgment. In my case, I've said upfront openly, I've made mistakes at times. I've had to go to God for forgiveness. I've had to seek reconciliation. But I'm also a 68-year-old grandfather, and I think people have to measure who I am now and whether I'm a person they can trust.
I have never met a person in whom I did not see myself reflected.
