Oh no, I'm not a historian or anything like that.

The thing I hated about it was that you live in your trailer all the time and then they call you and you do maybe two dozen lines. Then they do that for three hours and you wait and wait and wait, and I don't like waiting.

There's nothing worse, I guess, than being black in an all-white church or being southern and being a liberal.

So I became a producer because I knew one of the reasons was they didn't do them the way I thought was right.

Sweden was very nice. I did a lot of television. I wrote, directed and was in a lot of television there.

I just did one movie and there was no career for me, anyway.

If it was Europe, I just picked a country that I hadn't been to, but I didn't try to check up on what was going on in the country or anything like that. I just went and had a good time and met a lot of very nice people who are still my friends.

I think for writers who write that kind of stuff, they want to make changes. Look at Kris Kristofferson and Dylan. I mean, whole generations come along liking that stuff and that's great.

When we did that kind of stuff our only rule was... Well, we didn't have any rules, really, but my rule, because I was the drinker of the group, was not at any time of the day before the night we're working.

I always liked circuses, so I would have enjoyed that.

Oh no, I'm not a historian or anything like that.

The movie wasn't a hit, although it did well in Europe for some reason.

People think I'm crazy because I travel too much, but I haven't been doing any of that lately because I got a little sick this year and I've tried to take care of it.

You see I have to be in the clinic every Thursday and it's in Phoenix so I have to fly down or drive down. It has to be every Thursday for this damn stuff they're giving me.

I used to not stutter any. Oh, I did when I was a kid, I stuttered, I had a bad stutter until I was probably between the second and third grade and a guy got rid of it for me.

I tell ya, I could have got some more jobs if I'd tried, but I went to Sweden instead.

Well, you'll find the most boring part of it is the waiting, at least if it's in films anyway. Television's a lot faster, but the product... I don't think it's as good as a film.

So anyway, I really enjoyed the European audiences.

Nobody heard records of you playing whatever the melody was on those low strings. It worked out good, you know, about 25 or 26 million records later. I guess it worked out alright.

The power of lying is much less than the power of what is not to be discussed.

The truth is that all great men have had great mothers. Great women have had, as a rule, great fathers.

The French Revolution printed money because they didnt have any so they just printed it and this was a revolutionary step which of course we are still reaping the huge consequences of today. It struck me that this was beginning to happen...there had been scandals where shares had been printed.

My roomate at 'Harvey' is this guy Morgan Spector, an actor in town, and I've taught him Hive and Fastrack. Others have played For the Win, but Cards Against Humanity has been the dressing room hit. We've had the understudies, even Jim Parsons playing it. Our dressing room is practically sponsored by Cards Against Humanity.

David Beckham has never impressed me.

I believe in true love, and I believe in happy endings. And I believe.

The most successful politician is he who says what the people are thinking most often in the loudest voice.

Logically, taking Scripture seriously means being passionately concerned about interpreting it correctly and thus welcoming any evidence that exposes erroneous understandings of the biblical text. Unfortunately, many zealous Bible students and teachers confuse their favorite interpretations of the Bible with the Bible itself.

I always thought I'd look corny in the type of rap video in the club with girls and all that type of stuff. I just didn't think I could really pull that off. We always think it's more fun and better just to go outside the box and to use our videos to show cool concepts.

At the end of the day, I just want to see good gymnastics!

I was always embarrassed because my dad wore a suit and my mother wore flat pumps and a cozy jumper while my friends' parents were punks or hippies.

Without the piano, my life would be a disaster - nobody would hold me in any regard. It's the thing that saved me.

You can go down the list of great artists and kind of understand that they are products of their environment. Whether it's U2 or Henry Rollins or myself or Johnny Lydon, they're gonna be products of their environment.

The State should have made sure the money given to the NGOs was used according to a global plan for Haiti; not doing whatever they want. They should be supervised and have to report and make sure the money is being used properly. They are here, but we are seeing no results.

But as I said to Dr. Rice following her testimony, and I think she appreciated it, we had our job to do and we did it best we could, trying to get answers to the important questions that the 9/11 Commission must answer.

People say, 'You look to be in great shape for your age,' and I guess I am.

Goodness in words creates trust goodness in thinking creates depth goodness in giving creates love.

One relationship ends but life goes on. Your Ex was just a stepping stone to something better.

Your goals and dreams will never happen if you don't Sow Labor Into Time.

A young woman who knows and loves the Book of Mormon, who has read it several times, who has an abiding testimony of its truthfulness, and who applies its teachings will be able to stand against the wiles of the devil and will be a mighty tool in the hands of the Lord.

What can I do if everyone from the president to a junior bureaucrat is dying to convict me. If I am such a criminal, what was I doing outside jail before my marriage to Benazir?

I don't believe in coincidence.

Westerners, more than most Asians, are prone to feelings of fear, self-hatred, and unworthiness.

The majority of my work is from life. I spend most fine days from May to October painting outside.
