From there, I tried out for a community theatre play, joined an improv group... it all started opening up.

Thanksgiving, man. Not a good day to be my pants.

I took a public speaking class in college and managed to make the class laugh a little bit.

There's no better feeling in the world than a warm pizza box on your lap.

I really wasn't a class clown.

A song can take you to a special time in your life.

As American as an apple is and as American as baseball is, they don't go together. You can't be chewing an apple at a baseball game. You've got to let go of the diet that day.

Back in '93 I saw my first UFC fight and just became enamored by it then.

Every few months I'll pop into a comedy club or go to Vegas.

Every time I do a movie where it gets physical, I say never again.

For some reason and I don't know why, but I don't think that I'm funny in California. So I always want to do my movies east somewhere.

I don't want to be known as this goody-two-shoes who can only do comedies where puppies are licking peanut butter off my face.

I had many teachers that were great, positive role models and taught me to be a good person and stand up and be a good man. A lot of the principals they taught me still affect how I act sometimes and it's 30 years later.

I had my boy in Boston on Easter Sunday. That kills me, from a sports perspective. He's a Boston baby and I'm a New York guy.

I just want to put some positive stuff out there. If it works, great. If it doesn't, no problem.

I never played a musical instrument growing up but I knew kids who did and took it very seriously.

I never played music, but it's an important thing ... the studying, the inspiration.

I think I invented the phrase 'Don't overdo it.'

I would always love to be an athlete, but it's got to be a tough day when you have to hang up those cleats.

I've always been the guy who doesn't necessarily get it with women. A woman would have to say, 'I like you, I want to go out with you, you can ask me.' And still I would question it. Did she mean it?

If I do a movie where I have to have a son and it's a chubby kid, my mother is always like, 'You were never like that.' She gets so upset about it.

It's always cool to meet people who can do things that you have no capacity to do.

Just me onstage with a mike having an intimate relationship with the audience. I don't get nervous for that. I just get excited.

Now I'm starting to jog. But every time I do jog I have 9-1 pressed into my phone, with the next '1' ready to be launched in case I drop.

Once a year my back will go out and it'll be... it's like a sciatic thing and it's the smallest thing. Like I could be leaning over the sink to brush my teeth in a weird way and it happens.

Teachers have a chance to mold someone, inspire them. I hope all teachers realize that.

You think school ends when it ends, but it doesn't.

Theres no better feeling in the world than a warm pizza box on your lap.

Thanksgiving man. Not a good day to be my pants.

Pie...it fills the cracks of the heart. Go away, pain.

There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the American people to form a national community. This we must do as individuals and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of the United States who can veto that decision.

I was lucky enough to occasionally break out of that racist situation that prevails in the Hollywood film production community. But it was racist then and it will always be that way. It will never be otherwise.

Scientists tend to be skeptical, but the weakness of the community of science is that it tends to move into preformed establishment modes that say this is the only way of doing science, the only valid view.

While a lab Director can get done the things that he regards as important, he has the more important job of bringing out the best ideas of the broader scientific community.

The Round-Up is a wonderful community celebration, and I greatly enjoy the chance to visit with residents and see so many families enjoying the festivities offered throughout the week.

The legal battle against segregation is won, but the community battle goes on.

I think a good MP is someone who cares for their community and becomes their champion, which is why I will make my home in any seat I am lucky enough to be selected for. Looks play no part in the equation, what matters is your ideas and connecting them to the electorate.

Testimony is an integral part of the Black religious tradition. It is the occasion where the believer stands before the community of faith in order to give account of the hope that is in him or her.

Whenever I wasn't watching the planes, I was playing community baseball, football, or something like that.

Now, the entire world community recognizes Georgia. We are members of the United Nations and the Council of Europe. Everything is being prepared so that we will soon enter the European Union.

We have initiated programs for re-entry offenders, since some 500,000 to 600,000 offenders will come out of prison each year for the next three or four years. We want to have positive alternatives when they come back to the community.

The benefits of education and of useful knowledge, generally diffused through a community, are essential to the preservation of a free government.

One of the things I did when I was in New York, which has a wonderful deaf community, is I have worked on making Broadway more accessible to deaf people.

Religion did not exist for the saving of souls but for the preservation and welfare of society, and in all that was necessary to this end every man had to take his part, or break with the domestic and political community to which he belonged.

I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities.

The First Amendment is not an altar on which we must sacrifice our children, families, and community standards. Obscene material that is not protected by the First Amendment can and must be prohibited.

We really think it is a good thing for scientists to spend a little bit of their time either in the community or in schools or helping to train high school teachers.

I have never forgotten my days as an Eagle Scout. I didn't know it at the time, but what really came out of my Scouting was learning how to lead and serve the community. It has come in handy in my career in government.
