However, don't let perfectionism become an excuse for never getting started.
The great moments of rock 'n' roll were never off in some corner of the music world, in a self-constructed ghetto.
I love short stories, but I've never had the impulse to write one. Same for ghost stories.
I'm a complete skeptic when it comes to the supernatural and all that. I've never had any ghost stories or any kind of weird experiences.
I never really address myself to any image anybody has of me. That's like fighting with ghosts.
Scientists do stand on the shoulders of giants, just as do writers. Conversely, in the arts we do make discoveries. We do refine our tools. So I am arguing with, or at least playing with, the idea that art never improves.
I used to watch people like Richard Burton and Mel Gibson and think, 'I could never do that.'
I've never had a scandal, but I don't know if that's so much because I'm perfect, or because people aren't caring enough yet. Give it some time. I'll probably be very upset, but it's a part of the gig.
You never approach any prof or semi-professional sport as a hit and giggle.
I never get any protests from children. All you get are giggles of mirth and squirms of delight. I know what children like.
I was born with my moustache and, no, I've never been tempted to shave it off. I don't spend a lot of time worrying about my face and, like Gilbert and Sullivan's Katisha, my best feature is my left shoulder-blade.
The biggest and most interesting crisis in the world is the human crisis, and it never gets boring. It goes back to Shakespeare. You don't need a gimmick; it's just man against man and their intolerance of each other.
I played volleyball in college. I was the girl next door, never wanted to be in the limelight.
Sometimes when I speak to groups or I'm interviewed by a journalist, I ask them to imagine their communities without Girl Scouts - to imagine the thousands of food drives and clothing and toy collections that would never take place if not for Girl Scouts.
If love does not know how to give and take without restrictions, it is not love, but a transaction that never fails to lay stress on a plus and a minus.
Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.
I give to panhandlers on occasion, especially around the holidays, but have always been involved with charity, which was an important part of the way I was brought up. My siblings and I knew early on in life that we were incredibly fortunate and have never taken that for granted, so we recognize the importance of giving back.
I have never been to Mars. What will we discover when we get there? A red landscape, quiet horizon, frozen glaciers? Probably all is as beautiful, in its own way, as the Earth was thousands of years ago.
The Himalayan glaciers, China's trade surplus, Olympic ice hockey - the world is full of pressing subjects that people never consult me about.
There was never a child so lovely but his mother was glad to get him to sleep.
