You learn that not all things fall into a certain kind of pattern that can be predictable and that can be understandable and that's going to be easy, you know.

When they were small and my wife really had no other responsibilities, except taking care of the family and all of us, it wasn't that big a deal. It was fun. Hey, we're going to Moscow. We're going to Italy. We're going to Toronto. We're going to New York.

But what I will do is I'll acknowledge it and if it can be of any help the fact that I do acknowledge it then maybe other people will benefit from it because I do have somewhat of a public forum being in the line of work I am.

But we're still in somewhat a Puritanical society in a lot of ways.

I reached that day that I always thought might happen, where I say to myself I don't want to do this anymore. I'm looking for some stability. I want to stay home.

I'm a character actor so I've jumped around to all kinds of things.

I wouldn't be surprised if some day, they put the Simpsons in the Smithsonian. It's become part of our culture, those characters.

They put me in the drama class, and that's the path I've taken.

There's now a Fat Tony doll, which cracks me up. But you feel honored that they asked you to do a voice.

I mean, it's the life lessons that I suppose you learn that nobody gets a free ride and that you do the best you can with the means that you can and try to open yourself to as much knowledge and all that that you can.

For every Mother Teresa, there's a Jeffrey Dahmer.

If you're going to believe in a God, then you also have to equally believe that there's a flip side to this.

I've spent the better part of the last twenty-five years doing a lot of traveling.

You learn that not all things fall into a certain kind of pattern that can be predictable and that can be understandable and that's going to be easy, you know.

For the last thirty years in my career I never know what I'm doing next.

You know the way I play golf, it's a good I do these things for charities.

That's why I really don't play cards or gamble. Because I'd crack.

There are a lot of people who will come to me for advice or whatever.

I mean, believe me, I'm not for censorship.

I've loved it, but I have a wife and two children.

Dean Martin is one of my heroes.

There's good and evil going on. We have cops. We have robbers.

You talk to the real cops and they say ninety percent of it is paperwork.

I'm in the wrong racket if I didn't want a public life.

I did plays and movies and whatever all over the place.

When I played Dean Martin, he was dead when we made the movie but there would have been nothing better than to spend a week with Dean Martin if I could have.

If at the end of the day, people look at it and say, oh, yeah, I liked his stuff, or for the most part I liked his stuff, or I've enjoyed watching some of the things he's done, that's all I can hope for.

Whenever you're going to play a real person, you run the risk of well, everybody in the world kind of has an image of what that person is and who he should be and so you really have to do your homework.

What's interesting is, for myself, when I become really attracted to somebody, I find them in my dreams... conversations, nothing more.

I look at myself and pick out the things I don't like. No matter how much I work out, I never get muscle tone in my butt and hip area.

There's nowhere to hide in the theatre. You can't be the one in rehearsal who doesn't know their lines.

When I first asked my boxing coach, two-time Olympic champion Hector Vinent, what made the Cuban style of fighting distinct from the rest of the world, he smiled and told me to sit on a bench in Prado and watch the Cuban women walk.

Society isn't good at dealing with people who have something concrete to feel guilty about or who are dealing with a loss.

Blackberry is a great product and really useful. But I think that Yahoo!'s future is going to be rooted in mobile apps. And we know that we need to have apps on some of the core platforms, and so iOS and Android, probably the two most important platforms for us.

If elected members of any body - whether it's a state house or Congress - were not willing to take career-ending or at least election-losing votes, I would not have the right to vote today.

I can't deny the fact that you like me! You like me!

I try not to eat too many raw vegetables. I only have one raw meal a day. At night I eat warm, cooked foods. I like to drink lots of tea, but no coffee. Not drinking coffee has changed my game for the better.

I will always be a Hyderabadi.

If there were no government-guaranteed student loans, college tuition would be much lower.

I like my country, but I don't think like an Italian. It's a complex, complicated difficult country to make things happen in.

I like certain subgenres within science fiction and fantasy, and one of those is urban fantasy, and another is steampunk.

The Exxon Valdez spill triggered a swift and strong response that changed policies about shipping, about double-hulled construction. A number of laws came into place.

To me that's part of my working day, and I would never refuse a job where I'm under several hours of makeup, because as an actor, I enjoy performing. It's about the creation of the character and the art to me, not about being comfortable and how long it all takes.

I still remember, as a kid, tying a yellow ribbon around a tree in front of my house during the 444 days that Iran held 52 Americans hostage. Iran is not a place we should be doing business with.

A revolution is not an event. It's a process. And it takes its time.

The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.

Originality is unexplored territory. You get there by carrying a canoe you cant take a taxi.

Ill follow you out of the dark. I tried my way but I keep falling apart.

Nothing so enchants attorneys general, their eyes generally fixed on higher public office, as slinging accusations against successful financial executives. Preening press conferences and fawning media coverage are virtually guaranteed, whether or not the charges have substance.
