"Like the United Nations, there is something inspirational about New York as a great melting pot of different cultures and traditions. And if this is the city that never sleeps, the United Nations works tirelessly, around the clock around the world."

"Great artists suffer for the people."

"I've had great success and I've had catastrophic failure. It's really how you handle the rough stuff that defines you, I think."

"Great art speaks a language which every intelligent person can understand. The people who call themselves modernists today speak a different language."

"There are two great days in a person's life - the day we are born and the day we discover why."

"Chemistry is one of these crazy things you can't teach or learn or you can't fake. You go in hoping it will work, hope that you will connect with the other actors. I was fortunate on 'Modern Family' and 'The Procession.' They are great people, very easy to like."

"Creativity is a great motivator because it makes people interested in what they are doing. Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea. Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone. Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting."

"If you look at anyone who has achieved great success and wealth, people like Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, or Lance Armstrong, they have all focused intensely in order to win."

"I admired Stephen Daldry very much; I think he's a brilliant director, and also, I feel close to him because he has a lot of theater behind him. He's also a man of great imagination and a lovely sense of humor."

"Love and desire are the spirit's wings to great deeds."

"The measure of a man is not how great his faith is, but how great his love is. We must not let government programs disconnect our souls from each other."

"Well, we have certainly produced great art before we did this. In my view, there are any number of areas of government which tax money should not be spent."

"There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope."

"I think the key to great art and great artists is to just fully be yourself and not be scared of that, and be the extremes of your personality. Show the extremes of your personality and embrace the imperfections. Embrace the things about yourself that you might not like."

"Denzel Washington has a great sense of humor. He did all those 'Nutty Professor' movies."

"But Hopes are Shy Birds flying at a great distance seldom reached by the best of Guns."

"A lot of my life happened in great, wonderful bursts of good fortune, and then I would race to be worthy of it."

"I feel like life is really short, and it's important to enjoy yourself and embrace whatever comes your way, whether it's a challenging day or a great day, just welcome it with open arms. No matter who you are, you can't escape challenges; they are part of life."

"When you go on your Twitter or look down your Timeline and it's all great positivity - I love that. But at the same time, it can really divert you from what your purpose is or what you're trying to do. And I've seen artists get caught up in that."

"The United Nations is our one great hope for a peaceful and free world."
