Visual presentation of our heritage in glass is needed.

The lines of Pearl Art Glass are clean, certainly not cluttered.

When I'm trying to go to sleep and there are little noises, like a clock ticking or a fan squeaking, it drives me completely insane.

What I remember most about junior homecoming was my date getting sick afterwards. That kinda sucked. Then, senior year, someone got gum in her hair when we were dancing. She had to get one of the chaperones to take her to the office and cut up her hair. I felt really bad for her, but it worked out fine.

It has been common knowledge to informed collectors that many times the finest and rarest art glass is found unsigned.

I wouldn't say that I'm very similar to the character of Nathan at all. Both of us have had very different upbringings and backgrounds. I have a competitive nature like the character of Nathan. That's really easy to draw from when I'm acting; that's probably the biggest similarity.

Although we hardly see each other off the set, Joy and I get along well when we do. As far as the marriage between Nathan and Haley, I think they are young and will see the reality of the situation eventually.

The whole Haley-Nathan marriage deal was a pretty good twist huh? I hope we got all of you with it. That particular story line even suprised me when I read it, it's a good one and it'll provide for some good stories to come.

It is definitely a challenge to play Nathan, but the more different he is from myself, the more interesting the character becomes for me.

What do I like in a girl? I like a girl that likes me, a girl that knows how to smile and see the bright side of things. A girl that makes me a better person.

Students of American glass must always keep in mind that the creations they collect are truly examples of our American culture... and thus have historical significance.

Tom Hanks has been a huge idol of mine. I'd love to work with someone like him someday. You could learn a lot working with someone like that.

I enjoy catching our show whenever I can. It does get very weird to watch myself, it's always been that way, but at the same time, it's part of my job to see what kind of job I'm doing and to get a perspective on where I'm taking the character.

My New Year's resolution is to stick to a good workout plan that will keep me healthy and happy.

People would be shocked to know... that despite the nature of my TV character, I am actually a nice guy.

I don't get a whole lot out of the romance thing, but I realize girls do. So I'll go out of my way to make them feel romanced.

The cast gets along pretty well, it's a good work environment. I hang out a lot with Brett Claywell, he plays Tim Smith on the show. We play plenty of basketball.

The picture alone, without the written word, leaves half the story untold.

My advice to an aspiring actor would be to never stop learning or working for what you want. Nothing comes easy, ever, if you want something, you have to work for it. By working for it I mean work on your craft, learn from people who have something to teach. It's just like anything else, practice makes perfect.

I always have the most fun on the Fourth of July. You don't have to exchange any gifts. You just go to the beach and watch fireworks. It's always fun.

'Wayne's World' is my all time favorite comedy. I used to watch it on VHS on repeat with my brother when I was ten years old.

How does anybody change from the time that they're 18 till they're 25? Everything kind of changes. You see the world much differently, and you get your priorities in order a little bit more.

I grew up playing soccer and always loved playing it.

Psychology is as important as substance. If you treat people with respect, they will go out of their way to accommodate you. If you treat them in a patronizing way, they will go out of their way to make your life difficult.

You never know how things will last, if they will last, and how people will use them in the future. It was a fun movie for young people at the time in the 80s; but it struck a cord with people and it has lasted so I'm very proud of being a part of that.

It's okay to be eccentric if you're rich; otherwise you're just crazy.

I would designate as science fiction in the best sense: they are visions and anticipations by which we seek to attain a true knowledge, but, in fact, they are only imaginations whereby we seek to draw near to the reality.

A true work of art can stand many seeings, revealing anew at each seeing.

Here we were, corrupting all those Russians toward communism.

I don't know why I get away with some things. But I'm not a misogynistic, racist person. Yet I do find those jokes funny, so I say them. And I try to say everything kind of in a good spirit.

When Western politicians propose blanket discrimination against Islam, they bolster the terrorists' propaganda.

Recognition is not a scare resource. You can't use it up or run out of it.

I am amazing.

With the spirit of my administration, New York City is poised for dramatic change. The era of fear has had a long enough reign.

Writing novels is where I'm most comfortable. It's a very intimate experience.

I made over forty Westerns. I used to lie awake nights trying to think up new ways of getting on and off a horse.

Mehlis will go all the way and we want to go all the way. These arrests show that no matter how high the perpetrators are, they will face the consequences of what they did.

Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.

For your kindness, I'm in debt to you. For your selflessness, my admiration.

All your life you will be faced with a choice. You can choose love or hateI choose love.

Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul.

As I write, I control my anxiety and anguish thanks to the invaluable aid of irony and humor. But every night I am subdued by an anxiety that knows no irony, and I must wait until the next day to rediscover the blend of anguish and humor that characterizes my writing and that generates my style.

Most Americans would agree that Plowshares is a Theatre of the Absurd.

The floor of Christendom and elsewhere is littered with wrecks made by old prophets. God won't stand nonsense from any man. Every man has to choose between Christ and Barabbas, and every Christian between God and some old prophet.

A great danger, or at least a great temptation, for many writers is to become too autobiographical in their approach to their fiction. A little autobiography and a lot of imagination are best.

Education, doing homework, is the way to lift up girls. Around the world, where girls are educated, the economy and the standard of living rise.
