You've probably noticed already that I'm dressed like a grown-up... I apologize to the Academy, and I promise that I will never do it again.
Some of us have held the hands of friends or brothers as they struggled with military and police academy recruiters, and though many of them never dreamed of being policemen, a lack of opportunities led them to those positions.
Before 'Titanic,' yes, I had done some things and, yes, I had been nominated for an Academy Award, but I had never been sort of world-famous. And I suppose, yes, I am really famous now. But I feel embarrassed to say that because it's just a bit daft for me.
When I occasionally indulge in sort of a 'look back' at highlights, it's so interesting - it almost never comes from an image on a set or even the Academy Awards. It's almost always a family trip or meeting and falling in love with Cheryl.
I've passed up opportunities. I've avoided the spotlight. I've never been to Academy Awards, didn't relate to them.
I never really had a strong accent.
I keep forgetting I'm speaking in an American accent sometimes. The dangerous thing is that you end up forgetting what your real accent is after a while! It's really strange; I've never done a job in an American accent before.
I never found accents difficult, after learning languages.
We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.
My grandfather once ventured upon publishing a volume of hymns. I never heard anyone speak in their favour or argue that they ought to have been sung in the congregation. In that volume, he promised a second if the first should prove acceptable. We forgive him the first collection because he did not inflict another.
I urge people to learn from the mistakes of others. Please drink responsibly and it's never acceptable to drink and drive!
Many people resented my impatience and honesty, but I never cared about acceptance as much as I cared about respect.
Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts.
I like Louis Vuitton accessories, but I'd never wear their clothes. No offense, it's just not my steeze.
I never did anything worth doing by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work.
Be Prepared... the meaning of the motto is that a scout must prepare himself by previous thinking out and practicing how to act on any accident or emergency so that he is never taken by surprise.
Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of intelligent effort.
I never did anything by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work.
The stand up, everything was accidental. I never grew up and was the class clown and had to get the attention. It was - it really is, I have a career despite myself.
