I just admire everybody and sit in awe and watch them.

I don't know why my lines that were cut from the film didn't make it onto the DVD. I have offered to go into the editing room with Christopher and work shoulder to shoulder with him to fit all my lines in. I think he thinks I'm kidding. I'm only trying to help.

It's such a pleasure to work in these movies, it's almost like it's not really happening.

Someone I've always admired is Catherine O'Hara... I think she's one of the best actresses in the country, not only comedy. I just think she's just a step aside from everybody, she's just wonderful.

It's more fun in a way to do ensemble scenes, where you know your background, you know the scene, but you can't prepare because someone else is going to say something that is going to lead you off.

Suddenly you're like a pirate, you're 65 years old and you've got an earring.

I think my wife saw a picture of the rock group Journey, and they're kind of aging, and the one guy had dyed blonde hair with black roots, and... my idea was to get a little earring, I wanted to have a dangling earring.

Cleveland is my hometown, and the Indians have a narrow but rich history.

I just love the world of photography.

Despite the fact that I spend a lot of time in London, Switzerland and New York, Africa is the place I know and love best, and my heart will always lie here.

Practice puts brains in your muscles.

Some fine day, Democrats may figure out how to get on the right side of the value divide - how to define America as a place of the common good and not a playground of the strong.

I didn't grow up thinking, 'Oh, maybe someday I'm going to have a shoe named after me.'

My poor vision gives me a soft-focus morning. For the first half hour, I kind of wander through my house, and everything is a blur. I put my contacts in when I'm ready to deal with the world.

That awkward moment when you realize someone was actually home the whole time you were singing on the tops of your lungs.

I do not recollect when I had such a mental treat.

I find all food irresistible. I have friends who live in the mountains in France. One of them sells vegetables, and to walk through her garden when everything is bursting out - it's impossible not to eat something.

Standardized sizes made inexpensive, off-the-rack garments economically feasible. They gave shoppers a reliable guide to finding clothes in self-service shops.

I was reading a lot of books I admired, and thought that I would like to write something like that someday.

Life's complicated and people do things for a lot of reasons.

The doctor who diagnosed me with ALS, or motor neuron disease, told me that it would kill me in two or three years.

If I'd said, 'I'm going to be a director,' it probably wouldn't have happened.

What fools are we, to be besotted with the love of our own trouble, and to hate our liberty and rest!

I wanted to go to Portland because it's a really good book town.

There wasn't enough gratitude in the world for a server who kept drinks coming at a time like this.

There is a giant gulf between doing something and doing nothing. And someone who makes a lolcat and uploads it - even if only to crack their friends up - has already crossed that chasm to doing something. That's the sea change, and you can see it even with the cute cats.

So the actual privilege is that you can then take time off - and if you don't, you're a fool. You're earning all this money to support children whom you then don't see, which is absurd.

For of those to whom much is given much is required.

When you experience bereavement at a youngish age, you suddenly realise that life is unjust and unfair, that bad things will happen, and you have to take that on board.

Everything that turned out well for me seems like a fluke. I feel like, at any moment, I could lose everything and be working at Dunkin' Donuts.

I learn a lot from acting, but it's not my natural way. I can't help but write; I do it all the time. It's a condition of being for me.

Be virtuous and you will be vicious.
