We come from a tough, working class background, so we're very tight.

I think we're lucky because there are very few people in life who get to do what we're doing.

I make a movie because it's something that inspires me.

All my movies, like Revenge, are under two hours.

Out of the total of 11 movies, I got slammed.

We come from a tough, working class background, so we're very tight.

The world is sick of big IT things that don't work.

We don't ever want IT to be the thing that holds GM back.

We think of enterprise architecture as the process we use for fully describing and mapping business functionality and business requirements and relating them to information systems requirements.

GM is a highly collaborative organization; we rely on a whole tier of suppliers for everything that we do.

I have a short attention span.

I thought that subtitles are boring because they're there generally to serve us with information to make you understand what people are saying in a different language.

Ridley and I talk every day. Our family is very close because we're from North England.

There's one great script that hit my desk that I didn't change at all, and that was True Romance.

A lot of actors talk about doing their homework, but very few of them do it.

Dad never understood why Ridley wanted to go to art school, and then I came along six years later and wanted to do the same thing.

Dad was a very gentle, sweet man.

Dad was a very gentle, sweet man. Mum was the matriarch and the patriarch of the family. She ran the roost with a steel fist, but at the same time there was respect and love for her.

I like changing the pace of my life, changing my discipline. It gives me ideas for how to see the world differently.

I'm a plagiarist - I always look back at other movies, and I steal, but I steal well, and I reinvent.

If you look at my body of work, there's always a dark side to my characters. They've always got a skeleton in the closet; they've always got a subtext.

Mum was the matriarch and the patriarch of the family.

The biggest edge I live on is directing. That's the most scary, dangerous thing you can do in your life.

The scariest thing in my life is the first morning of production on all my movies. It's the fear of failing, the loss of face, and a sense of guilt that everybody puts their faith in you and not coming through.

The true excitement comes from the actors - that gives you the true drama - and whatever I can do with the camera, that's icing on the cake.

We had a brilliant upbringing, and we never wanted for anything, even though we went through highs and lows of finances.

What always leads me in terms of my movies are characters.

I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.

The best thanks we could offer those who went before and raised the Irish working class from their knees was to press forward with determination and enthusiasm towards the ultimate goal of their efforts, a Co-operative Commonwealth for Ireland.

Make no mistake: The organization of the working class must be both economic and political. The capitalist is organized upon both lines. You must attack him on both.

In economic panics throughout history, the wiping out of the savings accounts of lower earners and the middle class has often led to social revolution, sometimes violent upheavals.

It is the tendency of the social burdens to crush out the middle class, and to force society into an organization of only two classes, one at each social extreme.

I once said, "We will bury you," and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you.

I certainly did feel inferior. Because of class. Because of strength. Because of height. I guess if I'd been able to hit somebody in the nose, I wouldn't have been a comic.

I grew up in Michigan, in a very small town, Centreville. In my graduating class, I had like 92 people.

These interests of the workers, as the exploited and oppressed, class of society, are the same in all countries.

We need to work together, on a bipartisan basis, to create new jobs, increase job training, enact real and substantive middle class tax relief, and reward companies that create jobs at home.

At one point in college I was so shy that I'd drop out of a class if asked to speak in front of other people.

I recommend the same therapies for all humans with HIV. There is no reason to believe that physiologic responses to therapy will vary across lines of class, culture, race or nationality.

After some minor pieces of theoretical study that I worked on, a student in my statistical mechanics class brought to my attention a problem in polyelectrolytes.

There is no class so pitiably wretched as that which possesses money and nothing else.

I was a class clown.

I made a living out of being a class clown.

Show class, have pride, and display character. If you do, winning takes care of itself.

I have thought about the next steps, and you know, they still don't know that I can dance. They don't know it, and it's frustrating me because I feel that it's an edge that I have, and I'm not talking about I took this hip hop class, I'm talking about this is how people actually know me.

I met Kevin when I was 19, at a Second City workshop. We were paired up together in the first class I went to. By the end of the class we formed our improv group, and over the next three years we performed leading up to the formation of The Kids in the Hall.

Making my class laugh and getting in trouble. I was the class clown.

If there's an enduring theme in my work, it's probably the effects of class on American life.

In my last year of school, I was voted Class Optimist and Class Pessimist. Looking back, I realize I was only half right.
