"Can I just tell you the truth?..." - Quote by Oprah Winfrey
Can I just tell you the truth? I get asked to do a lot of stuff. And all of the years that people have asked me to do things for the film festival, I couldn't. And so this year, I thought, "Oh, my god, I don't have a day job. If somebody ask me to do something, I'm going to do it."

More on Opportunity
“Adopt the attitude that everything is negotiable. A world of opportunity will greet you.”
“You have to create your own luck. You have to be aware of the opportunities around you and take advantage of them.”
“Anything that works against you can also work for you once you understand the Principle of Reverse.”
More on Decision Making
“The International Control Commission isn't doing anything, it's never done anything. What good does it do to be on it or not? Before opening the embassy in Hanoi, I gave it a lot of thought, but it wasn't really a painful decision. American policy in Vietnam is what it is, in Saigon the situation is anything but normal, and I'm happy to have done what I did.”
“It is better to pick the wrong priority than none at all.”
“Do what you know you ought to do. Why should we ever go abroad, even across the way, to ask a neighbor's advice? There is a nearerneighbor within us incessantly telling us how we should behave. But we wait for the neighbor without to tell us of some false, easier way.”
