Guns are evil! And very little good comes from the availability of a bullet designed to kill human beings!

There are a couple of teachers I have had without whose influence I would not be as happy with who I am.

Have you noticed how most directors are either bald or grey-haired?

I haven't gone to college yet and I intend to in a few years.

You never get every job you want.

I think I would have a better time writing films rather than directing.

Guns are evil! And very little good comes from the availability of a bullet designed to kill human beings!

And it is easy to believe you are not good enough if you listen to everybody else.

There is a healthy fraternal rivalry, but nothing serious and we both have been looking for a project to do together. I guess he may direct me in a project some day.

When I was eight years old I went to visit my brother who was working on a movie of the week with my mother and I saw how much fun he was having and I decided I wanted to try it too.

I still have not given up the idea of becoming a journalist, but at 17 I decided to follow my heart and stay in Los Angeles with my girlfriend as opposed to going to Johns Hopkins.

It is important to make the fans that support me feel supported.

If I couldn't broadcast baseball games, I think I would make a good impression on people.

I started at the age of 8 and have been lucky to be still working.

I used to get some flack from my agents because I wouldn't even audition for parts where the hero uses violent force to be a hero.

When I am working it is up early and coffee and 15 hours of being on the set. When I am not working, it is up late and coffee, golf or softball and hopefully a ball game on the television.

I technically have two last names, which is a lot of fun when you're making airline reservations.

It is tough to say what has influenced me the most because I know that Mozart makes me think better, but you cannot beat Dave Matthews for feeling good!

Whether I'm on the road or at home, I get a great deal done on elliptical machines. I use my iPad to conquer my email inbox, listen to audio books, use my Voxer Walkie Talkie app, and read through documents.

Issues relating to global health and sustainability must stay high on the agenda if we are to cope with an ageing and ever-increasing population, with growing pressure on resources, and with rising global temperatures. The risks and dangers need to be assessed and then confronted.

I have never felt oppressed by women or that feminism is a problem. I do think boys find it hard to like things seen as feminine. I want my son not to feel self-conscious he likes ballet and my daughter to carry on playing Han Solo; that's all.

Our purpose is to educate as well as to entertain.

The secret to a masterpiece is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration.

I write what I like to read, and I enjoy love triangles in YA and adult fiction - not to mention in other media like TV, opera, theatre, and even in video games! I relish when dark and compelling characters compete for our protagonist's heart. The doubts, the uncertainty - the jealousy! - can be breathtaking.

It would be troubling if everything is determined by whether profits will be made within five to six years.

It's going to you know, I can't go out there and shoot par and win. Everybody is playing well, and I think you'll have to go out tomorrow and have 4 , 5 , 6 under par probably.

It's really football, tennis, and golf that I watch other than hockey.

In my job, people tell you that all the time: 'This shoot was great. You look amazing.' But you never know what they say when you turn away.

I didn't even get a computer till I was 16, so I didn't have Internet when I was in middle school and beginning of high school. I didn't think to be looking things up and looking at message boards saying whether people liked me or not.

There are just moments when all the stars are aligned for breakthrough products.

Every day carries with it a responsibility.

Writing really evokes empathy in a way very few things can do.

I personally like to hang out with people; if I'm playing their mom, I'd like to go have lunch with the kid, and I want to try to spend as much time with people that I can while we are working together if we're supposed to have a familiar relationship with them, because I think it reads.

Actors are the flowers of the film, of the set, and of the director. The term 'Flowers of the Screen' holds a deep meaning.

Language is one component of the human cognitive capacity which happens to be fairly amenable to enquiry. So we know a good deal about that.

Kindness can transform someone's dark moment with a blaze of light. You'll never know how much your caring matters. Make a difference for another today.

I just can't wait to continue creating music.

To me, nostalgia is nothing more than a mindless plundering of the past for the common place.

Voters did say 'repeal health care', they did say 'reduce the size of government.' But not a single one of them from the tea party or anywhere said 'give tax breaks to the wealthiest.'

I consider myself an actor that tries to have as many tools as possible in the bag. And I think that includes the method, then of course it includes some improv techniques, and includes all kinds of different things, because you never know when you're going to have to work on something and in what way.

Ninety-five percent of my audience was white.

I'll get to make a lot of money and do some bad sitcoms.
