I'm most proud of the blessings that God has bestowed upon me, in my life. He's given me the vision to truly see that you can fall down, but you can still get back up. Hopefully I'll learn from my mistakes and have the opportunity to strengthen and improve the next thing I do.

I don't want to sound facetious, but humour is the key to the soul. You know what I mean?

As long as there's Big Momma, we're going to bring you comedy.

Everybody has a Big Momma: the mother or the grandmother who tells it like it is, keeps it real with them, isn't afraid to tell you the truth about yourself.

I don't like forcing comedy and people just trying to do things just to find a funny beat all the time.

I don't really judge. To each his own. You like what you like.

I just try to get along with people and show the love that I would like to be shown to me.

I try to always step up to the plate, be professional, be good at what I'm doing and deliver on the character. In Hollywood, what more can you ask for. You want a consummate professional.

I wanted to trust in my partners and the directors and producers and do the best I can to deliver what I could deliver.

I was a B.I.G. fan. I like all of his stuff. I don't really have a favorite song. They all are good, and each brings different memories to me. And you can still listen to it to this day and it means something.

If you want someone who's big-boned and you like that, ain't nothing wrong with having a little extra meat on there. If you like them thin-boned, then that's okay, too.

No one is immune to the trials and tribulations of life.

To each his own. You like what you like. If you want someone who's big-boned and you like that, ain't nothing wrong with having a little extra meat on there. If you like them thin-boned, then that's okay, too.

We grew to know the meaning of love. That is what allowed me and my family to stay close together.

When I'm playing Big Momma, it's so much work that all I want to do, when I'm finished, is go back home and just relax and study my lines and get ready for the next day.

You can be cool and at the same time respect your woman, who will hopefully become your wife, who will hopefully become the mother of your kids. America needs to get back to family values.

You make due with the time you have here. Hopefully when you pass on, somebody can look back and say, 'Wow, they made a difference in some kind of way.'

You might see some of the movies that I'm in where there are shades of drama or whatever, but for the most part, I don't get offered serious roles.

Im most proud of the blessings that God has bestowed upon me in my life. Hes given me the vision to truly see that you can fall down but you can still get back up. Hopefully Ill learn from my mistakes and have the opportunity to strengthen and improve the next thing I do.

I have no interest in making a work that doesn't elicit a feeling.

I think, to me, the sheer joy of fancy dress is that it allows you to take a break from our very carefully considered and constructed identities.

It's a business you go into because your an egocentric. It's a very embarrassing profession.

One of the greatest boons that can ever come to a human being is to be born on a farm and reared in the country. Self-reliance and grit are oftenest country-bred.

They told me my services were no longer desired because they wanted to put in a youth program as an advance way of keeping the club going. I'll never make the mistake of being seventy again.

Health innovation, enabled by digital technologies to build big consumer service brands, is an incredibly interesting, complex problem to work on.

We are all just the tip of a pinprick of the millions of things that had to happen in order for us to be here.

Academic qualifications are important and so is financial education. They're both important and schools are forgetting one of them.

I realized that social media can be powerful force for good in the world and that acts of kindness can be scaled globally.

Innocence is not virtue. Virtue demands the active employment of an ardent mind in the promotion of the general good. No man can be eminently virtuous who is not accustomed to an extensive range of reflection.

If I hadn't of had music in my life, it's quite possible I'd be dead and I'd much rather be alive.

It appeared like their pain and suffering were combined feelings. But, feelings never did kill anyone. It was running away from feelings that lead to the absolute death of any relationship.

The simple truth is that there is nothing like a good challenge to get the adrenaline going.

As a small country, both in size and population, our future hinges on the quality of our people.

Insanity is hereditary; you get it from your children.

The more you learn to live without, the more you'll have to live with.

I love 'Starship Troopers.' I've seen it ten times.

There's a future version of you who's proud you were strong enough.

The people who really know me understand that I have a tough exterior, but I'm actually just a hippie at heart.

I'm the first Icelandic director who started working on U.S. movies. There are others behind me now, but it's like when Bjork opened the door for Icelandic musicians to work abroad. We're such a closed-off country, but Bjork broke the spell. And I'm glad it was a woman who did it. She showed us we could break this barrier.

I got a pit bull from a shelter, so my whole life is centered on this dog, and I've been writing a lot of dog jokes. I should probably give up now, because I'm writing jokes about my dog.
