I always say that my biggest fear in a relationship is cheating, and people giving up.

I always talk to all the crew. I always make it pleasant. I always nurture a relationship that makes people feel like they're important, like they're a part of the collaboration. I feel that way about the young actors on set. I don't talk to them like I'm the mentor; I talk to them like they're my peers. And I learned that from Meryl Streep.

I always knew I had a relationship with God. But I wasn't sure God had a relationship with me.

If you're a woman, it's almost impossible to establish a relationship. You're too much for everybody. It's too much. The woman always has to play this role of being fragile and dependent. And if you're not, they're fascinated by you, but only for a little while. And then they want to change you and crush you. And then they leave.

It's the relationship I have with the world: always trying to escape from reality. I'm a daydreamer; I don't feel in harmony with my epoch or the societies I live in.

I've always believed in people's capacity for goodness. I still believe that people are good. What I'm not so trusting about anymore is their relationship to their own goodness.

I think that the United States and the Philippines have always had a good relationship with each other. We were colonized by the Americans and we have their culture and our traditions even up to this day and I think that we're very welcoming with the Americans. And I don't see any problem with that at all.

Caesar might have married Cleopatra, but he had a wife at home. There's always something.

It is always the same: women bedeck themselves with jewels and furs, and men with wit and quotations.

It is almost always a fault of one who loves not to realize when he ceases to be loved.

You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back.

Remember that no relationship is a total waste of time. You can always learn something about yourself.

The heart of another is a dark forest, always, no matter how close it has been to one's own.

Never above you. Never below you. Always beside you.

Once you've built the big machinery of political power, remember you won't always be the one to run it.

When you have enough power to do what you always wanted to do, then you see what the guy always wanted to do.

The law always limits every power it gives.

You always do what you want to do. This is true with every act. You may say that you had to do something, or that you were forced to, but actually, whatever you do, you do by choice. Only you have the power to choose for yourself.

I tell my kids and I tell proteges, always have humility when you create and grace when you succeed, because it's not about you. You are a terminal for a higher power. As soon as you accept that, you can do it forever.

Having power and being in a position of power can really blur your judgement, and it's not always that clear.

I've always believed in God. I also think that's the sort of thing that either comes as part of the equipment, the capacity to believe, or at some point in your life, when you're in a position where you actually need help from a power greater than yourself, you simply make an agreement.

Censorship is saying: 'I'm the one who says the last sentence. Whatever you say, the conclusion is mine.' But the internet is like a tree that is growing. The people will always have the last word - even if someone has a very weak, quiet voice. Such power will collapse because of a whisper.

Hatred will always give birth to more and more hate, and love has the power to demolish the borders between us.

The power of doing anything with quickness is always prized much by the possessor, and often without any attention to the imperfection of the performance.
