Hmmm... I never get the answer I think I'm going to get.

My mom always said that if the Protestants catch a Catholic in their church, they feed them to the Jews.

A laugh is a terrible weapon.

If somebody on this team actually gets to first base, I'll stand there naked.

Everywhere I go I'm asked if I think the university stifles writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them.

It's filled with... baking soda. Because it really smells.

It would be nice if education was free to everyone who wanted it, but that's not the world we live in.

I think music on television is just uniformly dreadful. It is mundane, it says nothing.

For too long, humanity has acted with an outrageous lack of responsibility. We wanted everything for ourselves: greed, really. We failed to look at the overall picture and did not take into consideration those with whom we share the world.

When you hear romantic music, it makes you want to take your girl out to dinner or buy her something or take her out in the moonlight or take her on a walk.

Music is where I have the most creative freedom, but I love producing. To me, that's kind of where all the action is. You get a chance to have your hands in every aspect of a film. From picking a director, sometimes picking a writer, to the actors, the wardrobe, set design, editing, music, and marketing.

Concentrate and think upon the problem in mind until a satisfactory conclusion is reached, and then finally go ahead. If you have made a mistake, all right. Never find fault with a man because he has made a mistake. It is only a fool that makes the same mistake the second time.

A little anger is a good thing if it isn't on your own behalf, if it's for others deserving of your anger, your empathy.
