“I think the saddest people always try harder to make others happier, because they know what it’s like to feel worthless and they don’t want anyone else to feel that way.”

“You’re going to have bad moments, but they serve to point out some things you weren’t paying attention to.”

“It is very difficult to read an article that says bad things about you. It’s like someone is sticking a knife in your heart. However, I am the harshest critic of my work.”

“Please don’t worry so much. After all, none of us have much time on Earth. Life is fleeting. If you are distressed, look at the starry sky during the summer.”

“I had my midlife crisis at about age 30, quite early. When I reached 50, I saw that everything was fine. It really is the best time of life. Things work out and you don’t feel like you’re always struggling.”

“What is right is what remains after doing everything wrong.”

“When things don’t work out, for example when a movie doesn’t succeed, I ask myself, ‘Why did you do that?’ But in the end I don’t regret anything. After all, I got to meet amazing people. Something is always worth it.”

“You are not perfect. And there’s more: the girl you met isn’t perfect either. The important thing is whether or not you are perfect for each other.”

“It’s very common for people to think that it’s better to keep working so that others don’t forget us. This is dangerous. In fact, if you give it time, people will be more interested in you.”

“Imagination works on its own. I’m an only child, so imagination was a necessity for me, as a sort of survival mechanism.”

“I don’t know what my value is to the Universe, but I do know that I’ve made some people happier than they would be without me. When I realized that, I became the richest person in the world.”

“There is still much to learn, and there are always wonderful things to discover. Even mistakes can be wonderful.”

“Tweets? These things kill conversations. And people who covertly take pictures of us with their cell phones are scary. They appear out of nowhere, start talking to you and you notice the cell phone light is on.”
