You really can't turn on TLC without seeing us.

I think even when homeowners love their room, it's still a shock, because you left your house, went to sleep, came home and your room was dramatically and drastically different.

These rooms are decorated in two days. It's all kept secret. The neighbors spend the night in each other's home. They don't see their finished room until the end of the second day. They have no say what happens in their own home.

The best thing about New York is everything is available. Whatever you want, New York has got it!

You really can't turn on TLC without seeing us.

I'm basically for the whole year just traveling with three suitcases.

I've learned to think, I may succeed or fail, but I'm going to do so on the merit of my own instincts.

I love that men like to look at women, that they love sports, that they need to know the inner workings of mechanical objects. I love the whole makeup of men - that they never mature and are always just boys.

I'm an investor in MakerBot, which is a good example of the 'thingiverse'. The idea of applying collaboration and rapid iteration to things that we interact with and hold in our hands every day is super revolutionary.

It's always easier if you have the support of your family, if you're not alone. I came from a country that has been through a lot of troubles in the last 20 to 30 years, but we have been through them together.

Chance favors those in motion.

Power is sexy, not simply in its own right, but because it inspires self-confidence in its owner and a shiver of subservience on the part of those who approach it.

If we are to have faith that mankind will survive and thrive on the face of the earth, we must believe that each succeeding generation will be wiser than its progenitors.

Humor has justly been regarded as the finest perfection of poetic genius.

Every show is unique; some shows have the master plan and have everything figured out and that's just the way they do things. It's like high school. Some people write their papers the second they get their assignments, and some people write it the day after it's due.

I've always had a problem saying what I feel for fear of having someone dislike me.

I've always been the king of silence. I've always been a minimalist comedian. I've taken my influence from Jack Benny, who was the king of that... I've always done 'less is more.'

Fasting, coupled with mighty prayer, is powerful.

You don't teach information in a writing workshop.

It's not worth doing something unless you were doing something that someone, somewere, would much rather you weren't doing.

Romanticism implies nostalgia for damaged goods.

Practice golden rule 1 of management in everything you do. Manage others the way you would like to be managed.

I'm continuing to prepare very well because I have my responsibility and my (pride) as a man and an athlete.

I always find that when I do something that I like, from my heart, then it works.

One of the things that's driving films in a particular direction is that the after market value of them is dropping really fast and in many segments of it, not just DVDs. Pay television is dropping.

You don't need a uniform color: We used a mixture of brick red, browns and grays, and then threw in seashells, branches and various types of rock, so our walls ended up looking like cave paintings!

In politics, my role model would be a very weird one - our second emperor, Pedro the Second. He was a person with no vanity. He cared a lot about the public interest. He cared a lot about Brazil evolving as an important country. And he didn't ask much for himself. He was ousted from power, and he lived with the help of friends in Paris.

Personally I find the democratic chaos of the Internet fascinating, and for the most part really benign.

Stick to the basics, hold on to your family and friends - they will never go out of fashion.

Whether you function as welders or inspectors, the laws of physics are implacable lie-detectors. You may fool men. You will never fool the metal.
