It's harder to laugh than to cry.

I've got a lot of crazy plans.

I was getting a lot of hassles from the public. Everybody recognized me.

Even if I had a tuxedo I wouldn't wear it to school.

It's harder to laugh than to cry.

It's really important to go back to where you come from.

I think it's great when girls are artistic.

I can't stay in L.A. too long or it starts to grow on me in a bad way.

I have horses, I drive a truck, and I wear cowboy boots. First I'm a Texan.

If I can generate enough income, I'd like to get a castle, a historic castle that I can restore.

Carloads of tourists would photograph the family mailbox, and there was weird mail, death threats.

I don't know if I was so much of an outsider until after I started doing films. That put me on the outside. I grew up in Texas, and I wasn't the child of industry parents, and I didn't have a lot of friends in the industry or anything like that.

I don't know if there aren't any films like 'E.T.' anymore. I just feel that the industry has changed so much. There are so many outlets now.

I grew up in a rural area, I was from kind of a poor family and my parents weren't showbiz people. But going back was strange, and perhaps stranger for the other students.

I probably complicate things unnecessarily now just to give the illusion of professionalism.

I understood why films were made, and if they made a lot of money, they were successful. All of these things I knew. As a ten-year-old boy, I didn't really think a lot about finances or celebrity. I always viewed films as kind of what I imagined a summer camp to be like.

I would inevitably get the girls who were interested in me because I was the guy from E.T. It was kind of tough. I can't deny ever capitalizing upon it but on the whole in my teens I was pretty virtuous.

It was like that for the first six months after 'E.T.' was in cinemas. I'd go out and get mobbed. I was a shy kid, and being approached by adults all the time just freaked me out.

Many times you walk into a room and people have already made up their minds. But it's always good to have something great associated with you.

Of course there have been times I regretted being the kid in 'E.T.' My world went completely crazy. I was that stupid kind of famous, where you can't go anywhere.

The idea of a film staying in theaters for a year is something of a fantasy today.

The one thing I've always done is to try not to overcomplicate anything.

Every American, whether Democrat or Republican, agrees that job creation and affordable energy will be crucial to our economic turnaround.

When I first started, everything happened at once. I became religious, my musical career took off, I got married, I had kids, and all that happened within the course of a year. I had an excitement about this newly found faith, and so I was writing about that in a very evident kind of way.

I think the hip-hop purists are purists through and through. They're here to criticize all of us. That's just how it is. We as MC's criticize each other. That's the nature of hip-hop.

Sometimes I have chosen to see films just by their posters.

I want a fever, in poetry: a fever, and tranquillity.

It would astonish if not amuse the older citizens to learn that I (a strange, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy, working at ten dollars per month) have been put down as the candidate of pride, wealth, and aristocratic family distinction.

Enchantment lies in everyday moments if you are observant.

Coincidence may be described as the chance encounter of two unrelated causal chains which

I want to be in New York. It's the place to be.

Failure is a great teacher, if you're open to it.

I did not develop my ear. I discovered I had an ear, and it was an accident.

My songs are like my kids.

Faith. It’s all about believing. You don’t know how it will happen. But you know it will.

Without knocking Impact Wrestling, your contribution was largely limited to what you could do in the TV show. WWE is a bigger company with a bigger infrastructure and a lot more ways to make a contribution.

It's weird: you do a TED talk on something, and people think that you suddenly have a lot of answers around the topic.

I hope that even in your new life you will continue to be a good member of society while looking after your household.

The buffalo isn't as dangerous as everyone makes him out to be. Statistics prove that in the United States more Americans are killed in automobile accidents than are killed by buffalo.

I don't mind it so much if I get type cast as an authority figure. I get to do comedy no matter what it is, so it doesn't bother me.

I've always felt some kind of connection to people who are kind of over-smart. People who over-think things to the point of some sort of paralysis, and I think that certainly can be me on any given day.

Hollywood and fashion are symbiotic partners, especially during awards season.

I always feel good.

A man who is intimate with God is not intimidated by man.

I loved films of the '70s with those antihero protagonists who you don't know if you can get behind because their behavior is really questionable.

The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.
