It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

When I walk up on that shore in Florida I want millions of those AARP sisters and brothers to look at me and say 'I'm going to go write that novel I thought it was too late to do. I'm going to go work in Africa on that farm that those people need help at. I'm going to adopt a child. It's not too late I can still live my dreams.'

In my wildest dreams I never thought - well I never thought I'd work.

Gradually it occurred to me that we spend a great deal of life asleep and that dreams are little narratives little stories. I thought 'Who's choreographing this stuff?'

I can't comprehend that I'm in the film of 'Les Miserables.' It's one of those dreams I thought would be unattainable for someone like me who came from nowhere.

And they were writing scripts where Christine had hit the glass ceiling. And I always thought Christine would never hit the glass ceiling. I thought her dreams would take her. Maybe her dreams wouldn't take her where she wanted but she still had her dreams.

Well my thoughts about California are kind of mythological. To me as well as being a real place it's a place where people go to find something - to find happiness or to realize their dreams. So it has that kind of quality of heroism and heartache and Australia has that as well.

But we can hold our spirits and our bodies so pure and high we may cherish such thoughts and such ideals and dream such dreams of lofty purpose that we can determine and know what manner of men we will be whenever and wherever the hour strikes and calls to noble action.

Though I know he loves me tonight my heart is sad his kiss was not so wonderful as all the dreams I had.

Technology has a great advantage in that we are capable of creating dinosaurs and show them on the screen even though they are extinct 65 million years. All of a sudden we have a fantastic tool that is as good as dreams are.

There's a good deal in common between the mind's eye and the TV screen and though the TV set has all too often been the boobtube it could be it can be the box of dreams.

But I have been interested in dreams really since I was a kid. I have always been fascinated by the idea that your mind when you are asleep can create a world in a dream and you are perceiving it as though it really existed.

I've never been bashful to say that I'm not really interested in Formula One. When I lived in England it's all I wanted to do and I thought that anything else would somehow be a compromise to my dreams. But then when I came back to the States I realised how much I loved being back in the States.

If I thought that any of this was pre ordained then it takes away any kind of incentive to struggle or to put up with things to reach for those impossible dreams all those dramatic things.

A friend told me that teenage girls are always looking for someone to pin their dreams on. That doesn't make it any less weird though.

Though we may have desires or bold goals for whatever reason most of us don't think we can achieve something beyond what we're qualified to achieve. Why I ask do we let reality interfere with our dreams?

I can never decide whether my dreams are the result of my thoughts or my thoughts the result of my dreams.

The human heart has hidden treasures In secret kept in silence sealed The thoughts the hopes the dreams the pleasures Whose charms were broken if revealed.

There are many talented people who haven't fulfilled their dreams because they over thought it or they were too cautious and were unwilling to make the leap of faith.

My own dreams fortunately came true in this great state. I became Mr. Universe I became a successful businessman. And even though some people say I still speak with a slight accent I have reached the top of the acting profession.

Only the dreamer shall understand realities though in truth his dreaming must be not out of proportion to his waking.

I was always a dreamer in childhood especially. People thought I was a little strange.

Was it only by dreaming or writing that I could find out what I thought?
