Non-violence is the article of faith.
Success is survival.
Working with Chaplin was very amusing and strange. His films are so funny, but working with him, I found him to be a very serious man. Whereas the films of Hitchcock are macabre, he could be a very funny man to work with, always telling jokes and holding court. Of course, when I worked with Charlie he was getting older.
Political correctness? In my humor, I never talk about politics. I was never much into all that.
The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.
I can’t prove it scientifically, that there’s a God, but I believe.
I loved to read, and I think any child who loves to read will read anything, including the back of the cereal box, which I did every morning.
The unionists also for their part, want to minimise the potential for change, not only on the equality agenda but on the issues of sovereignty and ending the union.
I fear dying in the middle of a book. It would be so annoying to write 80,000 words and not get to the end. I’m phobic about it. So when I’m writing a book I leave messages all over the house for people to know how the story ends, and then someone can finish it for me.
I think we have to face the reality that in a society where there is a legitimate threat of terrorism, not being able to see one’s face, not being able to have some sense of communication in that way, is for many societies a challenge.
Louis Freeh said on national TV that actionable intelligence could have allowed us to stop the hijackings.
There is much that public policy can do to support American entrepreneurs. Health insurance reform will make it easier for entrepreneurs to take a chance on a new business without putting their family’s health at risk. Tort reform will make it easier to take prudent risks on new products in a number of sectors.
Money buys many things… The best of which is freedom.
Learning to read music in Braille and play by ear helped me develop a damn good memory.
My life has been a continuous fulfillment of dreams. It appears that everything I saw and did has a new, and perhaps, more significant meaning, every time I see it. The earth is good. It is a privilege to live thereon.
I love everything that’s old, – old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wine.
My dad is a Deadhead, my mom’s a Jewish-American princess from Jersey.
I try to look at design from a more conceptual standpoint.
Forgive, son men are men they needs must err.
Lorne finally said, Do the Blues Brothers thing. The response was amazing. People went nuts.
My mom just didn’t put a very high premium on me being like really famous or really wealthy or anything.
I box for four hours a week and my diet is pretty healthy.
He that hath knowledge spareth his words.
Were there no women, men might live like gods.
A lot of people say that comedy doesn’t travel well. I found it very accessible.
Remember our proud history of social justice, universal health care, public pensions and making sure no one is left behind. Let’s continue to move forward.
I say: If you don’t know how to cook, I’m sure you have at least one friend who knows how to cook. Well, call that friend and say, ‘Can I come next time and can I bring some food and can I come an hour or two hours ahead and watch you and help you?’
The bottom line is what we do might not be the safest so there is always some risk but we are ready to take that into account because we love racing and we love motor sports and it is dangerous.
On ‘The Office,’ so much of the show is about disguising your true feelings and your romantic feelings because it was a mock documentary.
There is no one, who possesses intelligence and uses reflection, who does not understand that it is one Being who both created all things and governs them with the same energy by which He created them.
The highlight of my childhood was making my brother laugh so hard that food came out of his nose.
The facts are plain: Religious leaders who preside over marriage ceremonies must and will be guided by what they believe. If they do not wish to celebrate marriages for same-sex couples, that is their right. The Supreme Court says so. And the Charter says so.
I don’t know if it’s possible to live the rock ‘n roll lifestyle and still be romantic.
It became very clear to the director that it would be foolish not to use our friendship. I had tried to talk to him about it because all the relationships in the film are so, not negative, but antagonistic. There’s not a lot of love going around.
I’m generally quite an angry person, and I like to channel my anger toward something creative.
I think cinema, movies, and magic have always been closely associated. The very earliest people who made film were magicians.
The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse.
To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune.
The ‘public’ scares me, but people I trust.
My work is more about trying to ask good questions and not trying to come up with big shows. Every fashion company is doing that, every car company is doing that.
Like almost everyone who uses e-mail, I receive a ton of spam every day. Much of it offers to help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It would be funny if it weren’t so exciting.
And whoever walks a furlong without sympathy walks to his own funeral drest in his shroud.
The truth is that relative income is not directly related to happiness. Nonpartisan social-survey data clearly show that the big driver of happiness is earned success: a person’s belief that he has created value in his life or the life of others.
It is not these well-fed long-haired men that I fear, but the pale and the hungry-looking.
It’s incredible how nature sets females up to take care of people, and yet it is tricky for them to take care of themselves.
But now, more and more, its society is concerned with economy and finance.
I’d do pretty much anything to get back on stage. I’d like to develop a new musical. I nearly had a heart attack when I heard that they’re developing John Waters’ Cry-Baby because that is so amazing and super and wonderful and I wish that I could be involved. But it’s not the right time and I understand that. But I hear things like that and I get that little tingle in my stomach.
True enough, nature has endowed me with a fair measure of patience and composure, yet I should be lying if I told you that, having seen the reporter off on his way to make his deadline, I fell peacefully asleep.
You win some, lose some, and wreck some.
The scientific argument advanced for intelligent design at the Dover trial, those arguments collapsed, scientifically and intellectually.
If the world were a logical place, men would ride side saddle.
