I don't like to read novels where the novelist tells me what to think about the situation and the characters. I prefer to discover for myself.

My goal is to make as many films as possible about different aspects of American life.

You have to edit the material. That assumes that some kind of a mind is operating in relation to the material. Not all minds are the same. Every aspect of filmmaking requires choice. The selection of the subject, the shooting, editing and length are all aspects of choice.

Anybody whose mind is functioning at all can't be content with the way the world works.

I hope that not only my documentaries, but everybody's documentaries, last. It will really confuse historians in the next century, because they'll have, in addition to all the print material, they'll have all these pictures to look at.

Whether you're a newspaper journalist, a lawyer, a doctor. You have to organize your thoughts.

In moviemaking, you learn to pay attention to detail, because so much is in the detail. And when you're shooting, you try to be very alert to what's going on, even if you're tired.

I'm not into digital marketing, downloading, or streaming - I've always been a man of the theaters.

No weekend, all weakened.

A dream is a seed.Vision plants it.Imagination nurtures growth.Opportunities create blooms.Thoughts become things!

Grandparents should play the same role in the family as an elder statesman can in the government of a country. They have the experience and knowledge that comes from surviving a great many years of lifes battles and the wisdom hopefully to recognize how their grandchildren can benefit from this.

I'm always gonna be Joe Namath, and I'm not running from that.

I am used to wrangling crocodiles.

Television is a lot more fast-paced, where with films, you really have the ability to get to know your characters. When I was doing guest star roles, I was only one, like, one episode of a thirty minute to an hour show, so you don't really have time to get to know my characters.

I am a dichotomy of tastes. I'm big on water, and I do a protein drink in the morning, but then I eat off the kids' menu after that. So, there's only like six foods I like. I like quesadillas. I like hamburgers. I like sushi. I like pizza, PB&J, or breakfast any time of the day.

I'm always honest.

We dream of having a clean house but whose dreams of actually doing the cleaning

For it goes without saying that this great recognition at this time will aid tremendously our efforts to find the necessarily large funds for the next voyage of exploration farther into the depths of the atom.

Beginning under the Roman Empire, intellectual leadership in the West had been provided by Christianity. In the middle ages, who invented the first universities - in Paris, Oxford, Cambridge? The church.

The fact that we're protected under that Constitution in exercising the right of free speech, it's a wonderful thing. You've got to come from somewhere else to realize how valuable it is.

Find answers in your weakness and surprise in your strength and always remember the golden rule every failure has HOPES.

This whole issue of Hindu-Muslim in India is completely overhyped.

When all is said and done, monotony may after all be the best condition for creation.

Someone has to stand up and speak for the freedoms of the little guy.

When I'm writing, I'm just in it and trying to figure out what seems best.

The guilty pleasure I miss most when I'm out slogging on the campaign trail is the chance to sprawl on the chaise and watch a vacuously spunky and generically sassy chick flick.

I think my first album was a gift for my birthday and a Faith Hill album; I loved her.

I worked in SRK and Salman Khan's films as a child artiste, so Bollywood has always been on my radar.

The next great technology revolution might be around the corner, but it won't automatically improve most people's lives. That will depend on politics, which is indeed ugly but also inescapable.

I have always believed that technology should do the hard work - discovery, organization, communication - so users can do what makes them happiest: living and loving, not messing with annoying computers! That means making our products work together seamlessly.

I like writing comic pages, discovering the rhythm of the panels, learning how much you can and can't express. It's good to stretch myself as a writer instead of always doing prose work; I write screenplays for the same reason.
