We can't compete with Mel Gibson, but we figured we could do our part.

There's no better satisfaction than writing. I feel that writing is the best and everything else comes with it.

When I edit, I'm not from the school of Hello, I'm a genius, so everybody shut up. I'm from the school of Let's play it once in front of an audience, and then I'll tell you where it is going.

You go to a theater now and you literally see parents watching the movie and they suddenly cover their kid's ears. I figured I'd make one movie where they didn't have to do this.

Religion has a good place and it has its good people.

It's a hard job. It means giving up some things, but on the other hand they keep saying you can have it all. You can't really have it all so easy. You can do a little of this and little of that.

Editing is the only process. The shooting is the pleasant work. The editing makes the movie, so I spend all my life in editing.

I don't sit well. I like to move around as I talk.

We can't compete with Mel Gibson, but we figured we could do our part.

I am a total believer of making the process a good time - make it memorable, have some fun, try to shoot high in your quality and then don't get crazy, see what happens.

A lot of people come work with me because I keep an open set, and people can visit. Julia Roberts used to have friends visit on 'Pretty Woman.'

I always wanted to be known as the Norman Rockwell of television, and 'Happy Days' represented the part of me that wanted to make mainstream America laugh.

I didn't want to do movies with hundreds of camels crossing the desert followed by tanks and this and that.

I must confess that the original 'Pretty Woman' was terrific and a hit, but I always felt that creatively I didn't do justice to Richard Gere's character. So in the musical, we have some great new moments for Richard's character.

I never got beaten up, because I was a wisecracking jokester. I could make a bully laugh before he delivered a punch.

I try to find scripts of stories that kinda celebrate the human condition... let's talk about the tough world out there and the human spirit overcoming adversity.

I was a journalist. I was a drummer. I was everything. I didn't know what the heck I was. But with Jack Paar, the job was very specific - no confusion. You came in each day. You wrote five pages of jokes. You handed the pages in... The pressure was to write five pages of jokes every day. I did it, and I thought, 'This is what I like to do.'

In the education of the American people, I am Recess.

My first name, with the rare two-r spelling, came from a sportswriter named Garry Schumacher. My parents didn't know him personally, but my mother liked the spelling.

My happiest moments of growing up in the Bronx were when my mom would bring home a new sports magazine from the candy store. I would jump out of bed and grab it from her. Then I'd rip the front cover right off and tape it to my bedroom wall.

My mother was funnier than anybody I ever worked for. My father was as funny as this coat. Not a laugh a minute, my father.

Some journalists are pestier than others, so I find out where the pests are. I am careful with my actors and actresses. I come back and tell them, 'Watch out for this one or that one.' People are surprised I do that. But I watch out for them even after the movie is over.

There is more to life than show business.

When I was five years old, my parents gave me a drum set for Christmas. My mom played the piano, and Dad played the saxophone badly. But that Christmas morning, I remember we all played together, and I thought it was the greatest day ever.

When in doubt, you bring in relatives. Nepotism is a part of my work.

Its always helpful to learn from your mistakes because then your mistakes seem worthwhile.

I think in every country that there is at least one executive who is scared of going crazy.

In education, they say either property taxes have to go up, or we'll have poor education - that's a false choice.

I can't tell you what a pleasure it is to just put my hair under a wig cap and slap on a wig that's already done. It's dress up for your hair!

Of course, you can't legislate for how people are going to read.

In any match, there are few critical moments where there's no second best decision. The rest of the moves are intuitive.

I have a deep fascination with human nature, with all its virtues and all its defects.

Marketing executives like big budgets, as big budgets make it easier to grow the top line.

The Court's primary duty, in short, is not to minimize its role or avoid friction with the political branches, but to try as best it can to get the Constitution right.

I eventually found that the soul is more than an immortal commodity to win and save. It is the repository of the inner divine, the truest part of us.

The most important thing is to enjoy your life to be happy its all that matters.

The public's got it right, a lot of NBA stars are arrogant and like to spend lots of money and have lots of girlfriends and all that.

So as long as I can do the music or create, I'll feel fine.

Hungry and thirsty? Soup solves both problems at once.

Clinicians, academicians, and politicians are often put to a test of faith. In pursuit of their goals, will their religion show or will it be hidden? Are they tied back to God or to man?

What use is revelation or religion if it doesnt change anything?

I was only 11 when we filmed the pilot. The idea of a rapper being a star on a sitcom just wasn't heard of.

The state of Israel, and a government under me, will make it a strategic objective to topple the Hamas regime in Gaza. The means for doing this should be military, economic, and diplomatic.

I like to prove things wrong.

Nothing is free. You got to pay to be in society. First you start with homework.

Sometimes people just need to feel heard, and being an actor has taught me to really listen.

I believe we are our own inner hand - the godly power resides within each of us to create the lives we desire - no matter what the challenges!

You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight.

You don't sell as many records as you used to because of illegal downloads, but I think there are other ways you can make money through your music. Whether it's through merchandise or teaming up with other companies or brands or whatever, there are ways.
