I don’t know about you, but every time I reach one of my goals I am simultaneously upbeat and also nervous because now I don’t have one.

I was always a rebel and probably could have got much further had I changed my attitude. But when you think about it, I got pretty far without changing attitudes. I’m happier with that.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

‘Kindness’ covers all of my political beliefs. No need to spell them out. I believe that if, at the end, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn’t always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.

“No one shall bomb us into silence or shoot us into silence.
Nothing will frighten us out of being Norway.
The answer to violence is even more democracy.”
Norway is one of my favorite places on earth for reasons like this.

In Dick Tracy, the future was one where our phones were integrated into our wristwatches. Now, our watches are kept on our phones.
