You can't just plain die. You got to do it by the book.

I am afraid that the ordinary citizen will not like to be told that the banks can and do create and destroy money. And they who control the credit of a nation direct the policy of governments, and hold in the hollow of their hands the destiny of the people.

You can't just plain die. You got to do it by the book.

Being dead is being weak and walled off.

When I get a brand new bag, I wear it for months and months.

I'm going to do an adaptation of the Italian film, Bread and Tulips. I really like that film.

Puerto Rico has a stray dog problem. Tens of thousands of homeless canines - hundreds of thousands, by some estimates - live and die on the streets and beaches all over this Caribbean island of almost four million people.

Some debts are fun when you are acquiring them but none are fun when you set about retiring them.

I didn't read comic books, growing up. I was more of a science fiction/fantasy novel guy. I loved reading Edgar Rice Burroughs' 'Tarzan' and that kind of stuff.

In war, you can only be killed once, but in politics, many times.

Seeing a live Kenny Chesney show, you know what you're going to get. You know it's going to be an all-day party.

I happen to be a guy who also plays the piano and sings, so people automatically associate me with Billy Joel.

The past has an undeniable grip on everyone, except, perhaps, amnesiacs.

I always felt that I was one of the women who helped lay the foundation for rock and roll. But I'd always been overlooked by the Hall of Fame.

I don't think any actor has the luxury of knowing exactly what scripts are going to turn out well and what ones aren't. It would be wonderful to have that particular skill, and maybe people like Tom Cruise have it more than most, but you go into each project hoping that a good, if not great, film will come out the other end.

I won't cook in deep fat. Years ago, I met a fireman who said most kitchen fires were caused by deep fat, and I don't think that's changed. Oven chips are good enough for my grandchildren, and they're chuffed with that.

You don’t have to explain your dreams. They belong to you.

In France today, people no longer eat as much heavy food and fat as they did 15 or 20 years ago. These days, French cooking, through the influence of 'grande cuisine,' has become a bit lighter. And we are beginning to discover the original flavors of our produce.

Latin America is convinced that, starting with South America, our way forward is to consolidate the process of integration: not theoretical integration - the integration of speeches - but physical integration, with infrastructure, with roads, with railways, with communications, with energy.

I tell you it's no joke to paint a portrait. I wonder that I am not more timid when I begin. I feel almost certain that I can do it. It seems very simple. I don't think of the time that is sure to come when I almost despair, when the whole thing seems hopeless.

I remember watching Gilda Radner when I was a kid and everyone thought she was so funny and no one ever said that she was a funny woman, she was just funny.

I'm not cutthroat. I'm Midwestern.

With 'Kids React,' it started, hilariously enough, by thinking, 'Why, teenage girls seem to love 'Twilight' so much!' We went from wanting to ask them ourselves to coming up with the larger and more universal concept of a bunch of Kids reacting to viral videos.

When I told my parents I wanted to be an actor, my mom was, like, 'I think I heard you say lawyer.'

The industrial stomach cannot live without coal; industry is a carbonivorous animal and must have its proper food.

If people are going to complain about stereotyping, it's as likely to be Italian-Americans as gay people.
