I want people to laugh and cry, not just sit and stare at the TV.

I've got nine kids, nine dogs, three grandkids - and one in the oven. And three parrots!

Dreaming is one thing, and working towards the dream is one thing, but working with expectations in mind is very self-defeating.

Every script I've written and every series I've produced have expressed the things I most deeply believe.

Less than 1 percent of the patients treated are alive at the end of five years.

I'm not the kind of person who gives up without a fight.

Boy, you gotta be real sick to get this much attention.

I don't mind dying if I have to, but I'm damned if I want to pay for the guarantee. I'm sorry.

I felt my father's presence with me, helping me to commit to paper the feelings I had. I really heard my father speaking to me from the other dimension.

I want people to laugh and cry, not just sit and stare at the TV.

I believe in God, family, truth between people, the power of love.

I love my work. I've had three successful series, and I want to find out if I can make a fourth.

Now I won't have to worry about the new series making it or not.

I've had a good life. Enough happiness, enough success.

The one thing I need to leave behind is good memories.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I think viewers are hungry for shows in which people say something meaningful.

You can die of the cure before you die of the illness.

With a houseful of kids you give each other strength.

Life has been good to me. It's not like I missed an awful lot. I had a pretty good lick here. Every moment gets a little more important.

I believe that there is God in all of us.

I'm going to beat this cancer or die trying.

I think all of us create our own miracles.

I don't have expectations. Expectations in your life just lead to giant disappointments.

I've fought hard and now I'm weary to the bone.

Whatever you want to do, do it now. There are only so many tomorrows.

I dont mind dying if I have to but Im damned if I want to pay for the guarantee. Im sorry.

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.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters, God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.

DJs and people in the street know what they like.

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

We dominated Survivor - there is no way we would not dominate that, too. I can see it already, us making deals with people. That's the best part, and with the Race, it would be even more fun because I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.

We must support initiatives that provide clear, concrete measures and milestones that our troops need for defeating the insurgency, building up Iraqi security forces, and handing over Iraq to the Iraqi people.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

Well concerning the world records that I did, I think it helps a lot to me, yeah. I think it's a very individual thing because I heard some people say, like, oh I don't like it at all. But I definitely, for me it really made a big difference.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I hate wasting people's time.

Religions get lost as people do.

I also do not like the idea of soft money, these issue ads - people don't know where the money is coming from, millions and millions of dollars outside of the control of a candidate - there's no accountability.

The people of England are the most enthusiastic in the world.

The avantgarde are people who don't exactly know where they want to go, but are the first to get there.

My theory is if you have a religion, it's a good one. Because some people don't have any at all.

It's sometimes shocking to find out what people really believe in.

That's Tommy, this great producer who comes in contact with people and must have a mental library of personnel who are great for this and great for that, and he brought this whole group of musicians to the project that I'd never worked with before.

Rock and rollers can get you the youth buzz, and younger people are fanatical readers.

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.

I guess I strike people as very serious, or very intense.
