Woody is so musical in his filmmaking. I've never worked with anyone I've trusted so completely. He won't let you hit a false note.

The studios are very much business. Maybe it was always that way. It is really commercial now. Judgments are made and directions are given to make the cash register ring.

I used to watch dailies and felt I had to keep on top of the character, but I don't feel that any more.

I shot Footloose nearby, and we used to hike. Very fond memories.

Sweet things happen. They still do.

I failed to fulfill what should have been an interesting role. I couldn't take their formula and bring what I had, my humor, my ideas, and make it my own.

Theater is not to make a living, so I don't have the money pressure.

I had to choose, I'd be so sad. They are flip sides of the same coin. I love both comedy and drama.

I've been grateful for what comes along.

I recently turned down a film that I didn't want my kids to see. Priorities shift. Sometimes I'm sad about that, but not enough to do anything about it.

I look at the kids coming out of Yale. They are so intelligent with their careers. I wish I had that.

What I love is a peanut butter and pickle sandwich. I'll just have peanut butter and bananas, then peanut butter and pickles. Peanut butter and chocolate I don't recommend.

You are at the mercies of the dailies. With an indie you don't have that.

Directors say that you should get actors before they are recognized. They will be a pain or have an opinion.

The formula is the star. I couldn't work inside that formula.

Unless you are unique, your opinion goes out the window.

I'm more aware of time. The element of time.

Young people are more intelligent and sophisticated.

It was just this crazy craziness, and the fact that it was shot in Paris, and it had these incredible people in it. It was an easy thing to say yes to.

The entire aim of my work is to elevate the human spirit. We can put the human spirit down so easily.

Christ commands those who believe to be baptized. Pedobaptists adopt a system which tends to preclude the baptism of believers. They baptize the involuntary infant and deprive him of the privilege of ever professing his faith in the appointed way. If this system were universally adopted, it would banish believers' baptism out of the world.

I've got a pen and I've got a phone - and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward.

The First Amendment has created a wall of separation between the church and the State. But that wall is one directional. It is to keep the government from running the Church. But it is not to keep Christian principles out of the government.

My first car was a motorcycle.

Because I've been so blessed with a background in nursing and spent so much time with patients at a really intimate, vulnerable time in their lives, the one lesson I've learned is that you never turn down a challenge where you can keep your creative integrity and your heart and soul and your sense of self.

Well, my career choice made a difference because I never would have met my wife, Jenny. I met her through comedian Buddy Hackett. He set us up on a blind date and then we got married.

Character matters; leadership descends from character.

I love Harley Quinn. I do. I just love it.

That was the big effect Lord of the Rings had on me. It was discovering New Zealand. And even more precious were the people- not at all like the Australians.

I'm a perfectionist, and I always think that I can do better what I have done, even if it's good.

To teach a man how he may learn to grow independently, and for himself, is perhaps the greatest service that one man can do another.

Yeah, I came in at the end of the Notorious album, played on about five tracks and then we went on a tour. Then we did another album, Big Thing, and then we started writing songs together in 1989.

The enjoyment of life would be instantly gone if you removed the possibility of doing something.

To a profound pessimist about life, being in danger is not depressing.

No matter what, people grow. If you chose not to grow, you're staying in a small box with a small mindset. People who win go outside of that box. It's very simple when you look at it.

If we are strong, and have faith in life and its richness of surprises, and hold the rudder steadily in our hands. I am sure we will sail into quiet and pleasent waters for our old age.

A human being is only breath and shadow.

No one knows exactly when or where the redwood entered the history of life on earth, though it is an ancient kind of tree and has come down to our world as an inheritance out of deep time.

My secret? A desire to work, years of dedication and loving what you do; I can't live without music.

Modern Armenia survived only because it was the single province controlled, and protected, by the Russian Empire. The rest of the territory within its historical borders is almost wholly devoid of ethnic Armenians.

Some men have thousands of reasons why they cannot do what they want to, when all they need is one reason why they can.

I've always wanted to be the best in the world as a baseball player, so when I started to think about opening a business, it was with that mindset.

I am actually a resident of three worlds - of America, of India, and of Africa. I live in Uganda most of the year. It's extraordinary to have that worldview that is an expansive one rather than just looking at the world from where you sit.
