The funnier the material, the funnier I could make it.

Some of those STINKIN' press people just had to make fun of my decision in joining the show. They also made fun of other choices in my life that I was proud of then and still am now!!!

It's so very important as to what a child watches on TV. I feel for every parent that knows this, and cares, because they only have control of the child's viewing to a certain point.

The funnier the material, the funnier I could make it.

I really learned the power of the tube on Sesame Street and how it can influence a very young mind.

Around 7 years old, we girls took dancing lessons, joined the Brownies, the Girl Scouts, the 4H Club.

Life has all sorts of hills and valleys, and sometimes you don't end up doing what you had your heart set out on, but sometimes that's even better!

I got everybody on my side through comedy.

My nephews all look at me differently now. Before, they couldn't relate to me, and now I'm like a god.

The original Dean Martin Comedy Hour handed me some hysterical sketches. I've got highlights on tons of these variety shows, given to me by their great writers. I'd love to be doing all that again.

I really enjoyed doing the voice of Nose Marie on the cartoon series Pound Puppies. Fun, FUN cast.

I can laugh on cue, and it sounds real. People laugh with me.

I created the characters from what I read in the script. I decided how I should talk, accent, no accent, my own voice, or a created voice. Then, I visualize what I should look like.

The sea is emotion incarnate. It loves, hates, and weeps. It defies all attempts to capture it with words and rejects all shackles. No matter what you say about it, there is always that which you can't.

My name is Ryan White. I am sixteen years old. I have hemophilia, and I have AIDS.

I know prisons from the inside.

On the wagon sped, and I, as well as my comrades, gave a despairing farewell glance at freedom as we came in sight of the long stone buildings.

I am not a scary movie/book kind of gal.

Being pretty crazy while being chased by the National Enquirer is not good. The British tabloids were the worst.

But you know the thing that I thing oftentimes gets ignored and neglected is there was 10 or 12 years of life before I met Amy and before she met me, where you know, whatever happened was probably going to happen some day.

The really valuable method of thought to arrive at a logically coherent system is intuition.

You can't write about history without writing about politics at some point. History is about movements of people. 'What is criminality and what is government' is a theme that runs through every history.

A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.

People first, then money, then things.

Winning the Indy 500 in 1995 and the Formula 1 championship in 1997 are very special moments for me, and the people in NASCAR show me respect for what I've achieved so far in my career.

The real literary editors have mostly been fired. Those that remain are all 'bottom line' editors; everything depends on the money.

Like a child who saves their favourite food on the plate for last, I try to save all thoughts of you for the end of the day so I can dream with the taste of you on my tongue.

For us, whether the market is skewed from a bubble perspective or not really is mitigated by staying focused on what we do best.

Our team has always believed that neither cost and distance should ever prevent people from connecting with their friends and loved ones, and won't rest until everyone, everywhere is empowered with that opportunity.

When something like that happens, people want to try to find some dirt and make it more of a soap opera. But I think we both walked away with the door still open, if we want to do something together again. So yeah, I would call it a friendly break-up.

Familiarity breeds contempt

It is about this very abstract sense of displacement that he feels the moment he turns off the television.

I've never been much of a European traveler. London once on a book tour, and Italy because that's where Ferraris are from. That's about it.

The irony here is this administration is spending more money on climate change research and development than any administration in all the rest of the industrialized world combined.

Ive been hurt but Ill continue to love for that gives me courage to go on with my life.

People don't believe or understand that a community can lose hope. You can have a whole community where hopelessness is the norm, where folks don't have faith that things will get better because history and circumstances have proven over 30, 40, or 50 years that things don't get better.

Rugby is a hooligans game played by gentlemen.
