I think I can achieve more outside the political arena.

When television came out, there was concern it would kill radio.

Night tennis began at the United States Open in 1975 with certain stars trying to beg out and certain patrons trying to dump unwanted tickets on scalpers.

Food was supposed to be a slightly bigger part of 'Heartburn,' and it actually didn't turn out to be because of me. I just didn't find a way to make it a bigger part of the movie as I should have, and we cut several scenes in which food was a major character.

A kid who moves is a kid who learns.

As computers have become more powerful, computer graphics have advanced to the point where it's possible to create photo-realistic images. The bottleneck wasn't, 'How do we make pixels prettier?' It was, 'How do we engage with them more?'

Never hold a belief longer than you can hold your breath.

Mickey Mouse... is always there-he's part of my life. That really is something not everyone can call their claim to fame.

If there was a payment to the bank due, and we needed shoes, she'd get the shoes, and then deal with them guys at the bank. I don't mean she wouldn't pay the bank, but the children always came first.

There are only so many pitches in this old arm, and I don't believe in wasting them throwing to first base.

It was a scene in the sense that we were all close and we all knew each other before the different bands had really formed. We used to rehearse in the same place.

In the streets, they're very nice. On Twitter, there are people who love to hate me. Sometimes people get mean. I tend to answer like, 'Careful now, know who you're dealing with...' They're like, 'I'm sorry! Don't send the Lord of Light after me!' It's fun to play with that.

We all recognize that in recent decades, many important achievements have helped create a cleaner, healthier environment, yet our national needs in environmental health are not being fully met.

My weight has been an emotional roller-coaster for me, and I am ready to get off it.

My son graduated high school and went to Haiti to work for his dad's organization and then extended his stay. It's incredible what he's doing.

Drax isn't your average stereotypical soldier/warrior/musclehead. He actually has some depth. It was a character that I wanted to play, not only because I love acting so much, but also, I needed to play to get people to actually take me seriously as an actor and get away from the pro wrestling label.

Why should be elite, music? Excuse me. Music must be for everybody.

A goal that is not written is not a goal. It only becomes real when you write it down.

I'm a good acting partner for me... when I don't have anyone else, I do really well!

I've been in Hamburg for about ten years and I just feel at home.

I love any opportunity I have to make music.
