Instead, most colleges are studies in obsolescence.

I feel that education needs an overhaul - courses are obsolete and grades are on the way out.

I answer a fan with a hearing heart first.

I longed to fly. I was paid in flying lessons and, by the time I was 13, I'd logged 100 hours at the controls.

Meanwhile, Cynthia and I are busy fixing up a real old house that we just bought in Hollywood. With two children now, we just couldn't live in our small rented home any longer.

I've been lucky - I've been an actor for eight years and I've never been out of work.

I noticed that almost everyone I went to college with has worked at something other than the subject they majored in. I guess that' s one of the reasons for campus unrest.

Instead, most colleges are studies in obsolescence.

A policeman, as you discover, has to put up with a hell of a lot of abuse. A man in any other line of work would nail a guy who laid that kind of abuse on him. I know I would.

If I find what I like, maybe in about five years we'll be able to afford to build a home in the country.

I think the most important thing my wife Cynthia and I can do for Kristen is to teach her how to grow up to be a woman and make her own decisions. Meanwhile, we sometimes have to guide her.

I think children learn from example. I don't believe in raising them in an authoritative atmosphere.

I met Cynthia when I was 12, proposed at 16, became engaged at 17, married her at 19 and we had a baby when I was 20. If extra work could pay for a lot of diapers, that was for me.

I'll admit I wanted to be a pilot, originally.

That first year at Universal was a big blur and, naturally, I thought they were wasting me. I didn't realize at the time that I was learning my craft and acting more easily in front of the camera.

Whenever I get a free day, I drive up to some part of California that looks promising on the map.

Frequently parents forget that children are people. I don't try to treat Kristen as an adult, but I do try to treat her as a person, with a child's sensibilities.

Some of the greatest writers in our industry can't get work.

True friendships don't fade in Hollywood, as so many myths about show business would have you insist.

Friends, near or far, are important to us. All of ours have an awareness of other persons' feelings, a courtesy that's inevitable. When I find that consideration in a fan, I'm immediately impressed.

A person who cares deeply about what people need in their lives is someone I'll never forget.

I want my children to live in the country, to be a part of nature.

I'm interested in raw land and trees and fresh air and rivers and lots of animals around them.

Not only that - college doesn't particularly qualify you for the outside world. he world is changing so fast, and college is not. It should strive to be more in tune with the world.

Well, I grew up in a tough neighborhood.

Cynthia and I are very alike in our tastes.

A reviewer once commented that my urban fantasy novels were paced more like epic fantasy, in that they relied on complex world-building and a gradual immersion in the lives of the characters.

You can't have a belief system on Sunday and not live it the other six days.

The lessons taught in great books are misleading. The commerce in life is rarely so simple and never so just.

When I was a kid, the only way I saw movies was from the back seat of my family's car at the drive-in.

Everything in large doses is gonna kill you. Even happiness.

I am, as they say, the classic starving artist.

Israel's middle class is paying for those below it, and that's fine, but also for those who are above it, and that's very wrong.

If you take 67 brush fires times 10 years, that's almost 700 right there. Those brush fires are incredibly dangerous, all those homes going down proved that.

I've done a lot of casual work, and acting is a lot easier than laying carpets.

If you always been my enemy, it's still that way.

Hope is a belief in a better tomorrow.

Make the most of your carefree young life as you can.

It is not truth, but opinion that can travel the world without a passport.

Christians have no greater ally than Israel.

I love my life. I'm really grateful. My biggest dream come true is my daughter. I've wanted her since I was a little girl.

Ours is a peoples democratic dictatorship led by the working class and based on the worker peasant alliance.

You can change things you can make things better.

Where I get my energy is: 'How can I make it better?'

Acting allows me to tell a lot of stories, you know start at the beginning, finish at the end, and tell everything in between. Modelling is just an image.

What makes Hulk afraid? It's himself. It's a version of himself that's weak. It's a version of himself that's vulnerable. It's a child inside of him.

I'm your knight in shining armor. I'm here to save you from Linkin Park.

A frame is the foundation from which everything evolves.

Make sure you know your identity is in Christ, so that when you get laid off from your job, or when you get a raise from your job, or when things don't go right, you're not up and down, up and down.
