Why can't she move in with you? Is she against that? She's not a Mormon or anything, is she?

My favorite comedians were Jimmy Durante, George Burns, senior citizens.

My favorite actors when I was a kid were in their '60s. Spencer Tracy, Humphrey Bogart, John Wayne.

The stage is suspension of disbelief. Film is a literal medium.

When I was a kid, there was no distinction between a movie about old people or young people. It was either funny or not. It was either entertaining or not. It was either exciting or not. It was either thrilling or not.

You know, people come up with formulas who are uncreative. They can't picture something different so they can only go by something that's laid out for them.

I get up in the morning, do my e-mail, I check my e-mails all day. I'll go online and I'll buy my books at Amazon.com, but I don't want to buy all of them because I want to go to Duttons and I want to buy books from another human being.

I think grown-ups don't go to movies because they're much more discerning.

I keep working mainly because my wife and I spend most of our time touring the country doing our own plays.

Most people would rather stay home and watch Casablanca for the fourth time or the 10th time on Turner Classic Movies than go see Matrix 12 or whatever the hell the flavor of the month is.

But, having said that, believe me, as you get older, the parts dry up. They get less and less.

The stage is suspension of disbelief. Film is a literal medium.

As I have studied the Bible and the Book of Mormon, I have come to know through the power of the Spirit of God, that these books contain the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I have continued systematically to study the Book of Mormon and Bible to understand even more deeply what God expects of me and my family while on this earth.

I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.

My grandmother had a Miss Margaret's School of Dance to teach tap and ballet to kids, but I never studied it. I was raised a Mormon and they're dancing fools. It's the only vice they have - dancing.

My parents divorced when I was born, and my mother is a political science professor, like a feminist Mormon, which is sort of an oxymoron.

Mitt Romney is a true Mormon. John Edwards and Bill Clinton are not real Mormons. It was not 'Brigham Young' they were chanting. It was 'Bring 'em young.'

The Book of Mormon is concrete and solid, they can hold it, and they can visualize that they have to pray to decide if this physical thing is true. There is no room for interpretation.

Take away the Book of Mormon and the revelations, and where is our religion? We have none.

My mom is this liberal, feminist, Mormon powerhouse. I just love her to death.

I think the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is as great as it is because it's become it's a labor of love. They love what they do.

Even my Mormon sister checks my rankings on Amazon.com.

I grew up Mormon. I wasn't really Mormon, my parents were.

I would vote for a Mormon.

Honestly, if the worst these people can say about me is that I'm gay, then I think I'll be fine. I can handle it.

No one likes getting hit. It's a normal thing... I used to make up excuses when the coach would ask me to get in the ring. I'd say I forgot my mouthpiece, or I'd say I had a headache or something.

Wanting to be an actor and wanting to be famous are different.

Music is the emotions that words can not express.

I am a genius who has written poems that will survive with the best of Shakespeare, Wordsworth and Keats.

I spent six years touring the world playing Shakespeare, Molire, Shaw, Goldsmith... But I slowly came to realise that the people you are working with are as important as the parts you play, and that there were lots of interesting people working in film and T.V.

We felt like we just got surrounded by this community of friends.

Richness in the world is a result of other people's poverty. We should begin to shorten the abyss between haves and have-nots.

The whole chameleon thing about acting. That's why I'm moving towards directing - it's a much more healthy occupation.

The power to investigate is a great public trust.

One of the chief tasks of any dialogue with the Gentile world is to prove that the distinction between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism is not a distinction at all.

Science is the greatest of all adventure stories, one that's been unfolding for thousands of years as we have sought to understand ourselves and our surroundings.

Always remember you are braver than you believe stronger than you seem smarter than you think and twice as beautiful as youve ever imagined.
