I think one of the things that saved me is that I never put all my eggs in one basket.

I feel like I'm a fighter. I've fought my whole life to get to where I'm at. I like fight movies. When someone gets knocked down, I like to root for him to succeed.

I think one of the things that saved me is that I never put all my eggs in one basket.

I met the Queen, the Pope, and we went all over Europe and Asia. I just wish I was older when I did all this. Then I could appreciate it more.

I really enjoy the writing process because I can do it from my house. I can create these characters and take them in the different directions that I want to take them. You have a lot of freedom as a writer.

I always knew I was going to be a family man.

I was very outgoing, and a good-looking kid. I started doing all the catalogs. I made 60 commercials by the time I was 6. I must have been a natural, because I never took an acting lesson.

Trying to understand women is a tall order period.

I was never really comfortable doing comedy. Though it was good the first couple of years, there were problems, and it became a stifling experience. I was happy it ended.

I don't know why it is, but sometimes I feel like I'm 60. It's like I've been around for a long time. I felt that way even when I was 8.

It's difficult being a child actor. I don't think everything beautiful has to be exploited. Some things can be beautiful and left beautiful.

There have been times I almost got a persecution complex. I felt like people wouldn't let me grow up. They always saw me as a smiling kid or goofy teenager, no matter how much I'd changed.

I weren't an actor, I'd be a wildlife biologist or forest ranger.

I always thought I had a problem socially, because I was pulled out of school so early. I had a tough time talking to other kids and being comfortable with them.

The worst thing that happens to you may be the best thing for you if you don't let it get the best of you.

It's unbelievable what one squadron of twelve aircraft did to tip the balance.

I'm playin' music for a certain type of person. Fortunately, there are more and more of us. At least there are more comin' to see me than there were 30 years ago or so.

It is attachment to desire, not desire itself, that is the underlying cause of practically all of our pain and suffering.

Love is something eternal the aspect may change but not the essence.

Do the impossible, see the invisible.

Be careful you don't give up on what is yet to give you victory. Many people quit when they were yet to win. Successful people never quit and I believe no quitter had ever been successful too.

The State acquires power... and because of its insatiable lust for power it is incapable of giving up any of it. The State never abdicates.

Fearlessness is not only possible, it is the ultimate joy. When you touch nonfear, you are free.

It's nice to get my teeth into something that isn't a stereotypical female role.

When I was starting out, I thought I would go into comedy and there would be a mentor, like the Philip Seymour Hoffman character in 'Almost Famous,' in my life, and there just wasn't. It was really frustrating for me because I desired that so much.

I'm happiest at home hanging out with the kids... Having a family has been my saving grace because I don't work back to back on anything or I'd drive myself to an early grave with guilt and worry for my family, whom I'd never see.

You ought to serve on the platform you run on.

Creative people are very insecure people because they don't know whether people like them or are in awe of them. That insecurity always comes out. It makes them a better actor, I feel.

The U.S. currency has been the most attractive currency to be in for very, very long periods of time.

People in every nation enhance the social dimension of their lives by acting as committed and responsible citizens.

For me, it's a purity thing about the joke itself. It's a test of a joke whether or not you do it completely clean and it works. If it does, then that's a legitimate item you have there. For me, it's nothing to do with finding those words offensive. It's just not what I'm in search of. Do it clean, and you are really earning that laugh.

Accuracy of observation is the equivalent of accuracy of thinking.

You can't win some people over.

Targeted marketing delivers a lower customer acquisition cost and gets you to profitable growth faster. The goal is to quickly identify the costs associated with acquiring your most profitable segment of customers and the incremental value - if any - of going beyond your core.

In its heyday, the blazer had come to symbolise a kind of conventional decency. Yacht club commodores and school bursars wore blazers. People who played bowls wore blazers.

'30 Rock' is one of the best things on TV, I think.

All I've done is live my life in the theater and loved it.
