I don't really care how I am remembered as long as I bring happiness and joy to people.

I would like to be forgotten. What's so good about being remembered?

Nobody will go on being remembered for a very long time, unless you're Shakespeare or Milton. I have no hope of being remembered at all.

I think a lot of people want to be remembered the way they were, as opposed to the way they are now.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.

I don't think I've done any profound work yet... People ask me, 'How would you want to be remembered?' I tell them I don't want to be remembered! I'm not here to become a Madhubala or receive a Lifetime Achievement Award. I'm not that kind of a person. And I'm not brash about it; it's just the way I am.

My goal is that after I am dead and gone, I want people to remember me for the person I am.

People think being remembered most for one character is a negative thing, but I don't. I never expected to be remembered for anything!

If you want to live a memorable life, you have to be the kind of person who remembers to remember.
