Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
Yes, I guess you could say I am a loner, but I feel more lonely in a crowed room with boring people than I feel on my own.
Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad, and that's why I call you dad, because you are so special to me. You taught me the game and you taught me how to play it right.
However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.
President of the United States is you know, our boss, so you know, the President and the First Lady are kinda like the Mom and the Dad of the country. And when your Dad says something you listen.
Cinema in India is like brushing your teeth in the morning. You can't escape it.
Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!
As you get older and wiser you realize that when people are given anything without having to earn it (unless they are physically or mentally utterly incapable of earning anything), they become ungrateful and lazy. They also become less happy.

Your silence will not protect you.
Politics is like football; if you see daylight, go through the hole.
I've always felt that if you back down from a fear, the ghost of that fear never goes away. It diminishes people.
Well, you know, in any novel you would hope that the hero has someone to push back against, and villains — I find the most interesting villains those who do the right things for the wrong reasons, or the wrong things for the right reasons. Either one is interesting. I love the gray area between right and wrong.
You know, not everybody can afford to pay $58 for prime rib or $650 for a bottle of wine. My friends and I cook for regular families who worry about feeding their kids and paying the bills.
