Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.

I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details.

Anything you don't understand, Mr. Rankin, you attribute to God. God for you is where you sweep away all the mysteries of the world, all the challenges to our intelligence. You simply turn your mind off and say God did it.

What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world. Remark to Ernst Straus, one of his assistants.

I am prepared to meet my maker; whether my maker is prepared to meet me is entirely another matter.

May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I sure as hell won't.

God gave me this illness to remind me that I'm not number One; he is.

We, by our arts may be called the grandsons of God.

When God forgave me, I figured I'd better do it too.

In terms of doing things I take a fairly scientific approach to why things happen and how they happen. I don't know if there's a god or not, but I think religious principles are quite valid. PBS interview with David Frost (November 1995).

Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe.

Against boredom even gods struggle in vain.

What is it: is man only a blunder of God, or God only a blunder of man?

Movies are my religion and God is my patron. I'm lucky enough to be in the position where I don't make movies to pay for my pool. When I make a movie, I want it to be everything to me; like I would die for it.

The Master of Life's been good to me. He has given me strength to face past illnesses, and victory in the face of defeat. He has given me life and joy where others saw oblivion. He has given new purposes to live for. New services to render and old wounds to heal. Life and love go on. Let the music play.

If I was a religious person, I'd be Roman Catholic, because if there is a God he must be Italian.

I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.

I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance.

If God did not intend for us to eat animals, then why did he make them out of meat?

It were better to have no opinion of God at all, than such an opinion, as is unworthy of him.

God is dead! God remains dead! And we have killed him.

To you, I'm an atheist; to God, I'm the Loyal Opposition.

As the poet said, "Only God can make a tree"—probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.

How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter?

God is either cruel or incompetent.
