Let's find out what everyone is doing, And then stop everyone from doing it.

A highbrow is the kind of person who looks at a sausage and thinks of Picasso.

The critical period in matrimony is breakfast-time.

Let's find out what everyone is doing, And then stop everyone from doing it.

If nobody said anything unless he knew what he was talking about, a ghastly hush would descend upon the earth.

The conception of two people living together for twenty-five years without having a cross word suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep.

Onstage, it's more of a momentary pressure.

If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water.

I believe that stories are incredibly important, possibly in ways we don't understand, in allowing us to make sense of our lives, in allowing us to escape our lives, in giving us empathy and in creating the world that we live in.

I have had fatwas issued against me, some three in Bangladesh and another five in India. I will not be cowed by these threats and shall fight for my rights.

Ethan Allen was convinced that every planet out there has its own intelligent extraterrestrials. And this, as you can imagine, is a radical, inspiring, but very unsettling, idea.

I was always pretty good at school, but a lot of it was memorising, maybe cheating off your mates, stuff that gets you through.

The kind of boy's club I'm used to? It is definitely not a jock-y, frat-y kind of thing. They say, 'I'm sensitive and nerdy,' but actually, it's like, 'You're a huge child and you're terrified of women, but you don't like sports, so you think that makes you less of a misogynist.'

It's not like I don't have my own wants and dreams anymore - it's just that the kids come first. It's primal.

Real painters understand with a brush in their hand.

I was a Marvel kid, and I would have to say that Spiderman is my all-time favorite character. As I got older, my tastes developed a little bit more, and I would follow certain writers; like, I really got into Grant Morrison. From the time I was 5, I was into comic books. From the time I learned how to read, it was all about comic books.

Attention is a precious commodity.

'Saturday Night Live' is live television. Nothing can compare to that.

Real valor consists not in being insensible to danger; but in being prompt to confront and disarm it.

The preacher's task is to declare what God has said, explain the meaning, and establish the implications so that no one will mistake its relevance.

I guess initially I was amazed that somebody would see something within my work that they could really relate to, but the more it's happened, the more people have come forward, I've really realized that we're all kind of going through the same thing at the same time.
