I spent five years of my youth in prison - some very bad prisons. ”

A lot of times, when I met somebody and took them out on a date, I obviously didn't tell them my background, because I didn't think I'd see them but once or twice. ”

If I check into a hotel, a lot of times, they know who I am. ”

I owe a debt to my country 800 times greater than I could ever repay. ”

I kept a notebook, a surreptitious journal in which I jotted down phrases, technical data, miscellaneous information, names, dates, places, telephone numbers, thoughts, and a collection of other data I thought was necessary or might prove helpful. ”

We all grow up. Hopefully, we get wiser. Age brings wisdom, and fatherhood changes one's life completely. ”

I use a credit card for everything - and I choose one of the ones which gives you money back. ”

I speak at a lot of universities, and people are always worried about Facebook, and when I explain how to use it properly, they immediately go back and make those changes. ”

If you took a child in London and took their iPhone and took them somewhere else in the country, they'd probably not be able to find their way back. That's a shame. ”

When 'Catch Me If You Can' was published back in 1980, I never dreamed that it would become a bestseller, much less a major motion picture and now a big Broadway musical. What's amazing about the book is that it has never gone out of print. ”
