I don't need the bread, but it's nice to do something creative.

Believe me, nobody likes to loaf more than me.

People in Medicaid ought to have access to the same insurance as the rest of the population. If they are segregated, it will be a poor plan for poor people.

This happens to be that the power of laughter and love would beat out the power of fear every time. You know, I hate to sound corny about it but it's true, and I think that's what this movie is about.

I'd like to come back because I really miss doing situation comedy.

I don't need the bread, but it's nice to do something creative.

TV is the best babysitter.

That was all Rose, and Rose knew what she was doing. Her main thing was story.

When I was a kid, I loved Popeye, but the old ones, the real old ones.

Like, every couple of months you read, they rewrite, you come back in, they've animated more stuff - they usually videotape you while you're reading it - so they'll incorporate some gestures and some facial expressions into it.

As far as I know, the guys at Pixar are opposed to a Monsters, Inc. sequel.

But I'm not as bad as Al Pacino - he doesn't even know what month it is half the time when he's working.

I'm really getting to appreciate traditional jazz now - the New Orleans stuff - a lot more than I did before.

Basically, though, I'm just lucky to love what I do for a living.

I flew into New York for the Raising Arizona audition, and we just started joking around.

It was a fight for a very long time. After the end of the first season, all that was done.

It was cool for a couple of weeks, but how much bad golf can you play?

Yeah, the material's been good so far, although I'm sure there's got to be a drought coming someday.

I'd bowled a lot, but I never really had proper lessons.

Relax. Just relax and have fun doing what youre doing. Dont worry so much about being results oriented. Just commit yourself to the moment.

Thats just globalization. Its got good sides as well. But scenes arent allowed to develop on their own anymore. Everyone knows about everything.

Now everybody's sampling.

Sunken gardens should be laid out under the supervision of an intelligent landscape architect; and even then should have a reason for being sunken other than a whim or increase in costliness.

Cloning interferon was not something I wanted to get into.

Bring her flowers, give her chocolates, send her sweet messages, feed her hungry stomach. Make her feel like she is the most important woman in the world to you, because she is. She is.

You may not be thinking about politics, but politics is thinking about you.

I have always been a pencil.

If the playwright knew every little thing about his play, why bother? There must be discovery all the time, otherwise why bother to do it?

I am a classy dame.

I would love to have a complete family. I'd love to do it all at once. I'd love to be able to give to my children what my parents were able to give to me. And if I'm blessed to be able to do that, fantastic. If I'm not, then life goes on. You have to do the best you can. I do think we have to bring the family back; I do.

While I know some women who are stunningly sanguine when they're pregnant, I dissolve into a total mess. What normally appears sturdy turns fragile: the economy, the climate, humanity's baseline social contract.
