It's better for me to go up against someone's passion with my passion and then clarifying something that he wrote. Then I know how to work around certain things.

I live in L.A., so I go to basketball games. But I love baseball.

It's better for me to go up against someone's passion with my passion and then clarifying something that he wrote. Then I know how to work around certain things.

I do feel it's important to entertain people. I try to.

I don't mind if somebody texts me but I'm not a big texter, the things are too small. I don't mind if they text, '7 o'clock,' that's fine, that's logistics but, 'What's up?' Get real! Pick up a phone!

I have a grandson who is 20. He's a computer guy. I'm worried that he can't communicate without his machine. They have no personal contact with people. That's the bad part of technology.

I have a strange combination of fearlessness and massive insecurity.

I have season tickets to the Lakers and the Clippers.

I like arts and crafts.

I tell stories so only the independents do that and they don't pay you that much. I'd rather do TV or an HBO movie.

I think everyone's mother is slightly nuts.

I was born and raised in the Bronx and my grandfather and my brother Garry were huge Yankees fans. One of my first memories is of them listening to a game on the radio and screaming at the radio. My brother would cry when they lost, and when I was really little, I didn't know why he was crying.

I wasn't like a girly girl. I was a tomboy.

I wish I could sing better.

I would much rather feel comfortable and feel beautiful, than to feel uncomfortable, but look fantastic.

I'm not a hockey fan. I'm not a golf fan.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

In my opinion, life is more important than show business.

My brother and sister were much older. They were planned. I was not planned for. I was called the mistake, amongst other things.

My family is well, and that's what's important.

Once I commit to something, I complete it. If I say 'no,' I mean 'no.' I just have to learn how to say 'no' more.

People who text a lot are not my favorite thing.

The truth is that I am not a frump... I just enjoy being laid back.

We all used to collect baseball cards that came with bubble gum. You could never get the smell of gum off your cards, but you kept your Yankees cards pristine.

When I'm working, I'm obsessively working.

Yankee Stadium was the only thing we had in the Bronx. It was an institution.

You had to learn at a certain age what sarcasm is, you know?

Men live by intervals of reason under the sovereignty of humor and passion.

If you're doing something new you've got to have a vision. You've got to have a perspective. You've got to have some north star you're aiming for, and you just believe somehow you'll get there, which kind of gets to the passion point.

But my passion is racing cars. It's what I like to do in my off time.

Strength of mind rests in sobriety; for this keeps your reason unclouded by passion.

It is, perhaps, better to be valued as an object of passion than never to be valued at all.

The greatest gift is the passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination.

In the earliest days, this was a project I worked on with great passion because I wanted to solve the Defense Department's problem: it did not want proprietary networking and it didn't want to be confined to a single network technology.

No doubt Western civilization has in the past been full of wars and revolutions, and the national elements in our culture, even when they were ignored, always provided an unconscious driving force of passion and aggressive self-assertion.

A frenzied passion for art is a canker that devours everything else.

In the First World War, there was the sudden passion of nationalism, and the killing took place because of these emotions. But the Soviet case is different, because you had systematic murder, like the Holocaust.

Anger is a momentary madness, so control your passion or it will control you.

Dispassionate objectivity is itself a passion, for the real and for the truth.

You need the words, you need the script, you need the material, you need the commitment, you need the passion, it's like we depend on writers, we depend on producers, directors depend on us and once things are in the divine order as they happen.

Americans admire a people who can scratch a desert and produce a garden. The Israelis have shown qualities that Americans identify with: guts, patriotism, idealism, a passion for freedom. I have seen it. I know. I believe that.

Jealousy is bred in doubts. When those doubts change into certainties, then the passion either ceases or turns absolute madness.

I respect people who feel things passionately. I do. But when someone is a judge, that is not what they should bring to the bench. It is not really passion, except in rare instances, that serves the bench well. It is, rather, an ability to understand the law and follow it.

I would love to do more music, definitely. That is my true passion. Dance is first and then music.

If history and science have taught us anything, it is that passion and desire are not the same as truth.

If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children.

These are the sort of things that push you on in music - the curiosity, a passion for new ideas.

But music raises a lot of issues. Music is something that matters to people a lot, and they put a lot of passion into it. And I think when you have an area like that, you're gonna find a lot of issues coming up.

My desire, my passion, was to help moms with practical encouragement.
