Comedy has to be so much cleaner than drama. You can't layer it in the way you can a dramatic performance. Which is why it's more difficult than drama - you don't have so many tricks.

When I read about the way in which library funds are being cut and cut, I can only think that American society has found one more way to destroy itself.

I remember when I was a private soldier. I remember the days when I was taken care of and when I was not taken care of.

Our headstrong passions shut the door of our souls against God.

We should not have our children going to school to learn how to become obese.

My parents were vegetarians. I'd show up at school, this giant black kid, with none of the cool clothes and a tofu sandwich and celery sticks.

I like costumes. I am always dressing up - I'm very English like that.

Pull in your belt, spend less, and reduce debt.

It's very juicy to twirl your mustache and figure out why people do the horrible things that they do. It's not just because they are evil, but because that's how they somehow explain the world to themselves and justify themselves. It's always interesting figuring out how that happens.

When we have spiritual reading at meals, when we have the rosary at night, when we have study groups, forums, when we go out to distribute literature at meetings, or sell it on the street corners, Christ is there with us.

The way I like to think about it is, even though I started music early - I started in classical music - it wasn't until I discovered jazz that I really fell in love with music and realized this was what I wanted to do for a living.

I've never been a soldier. In Denmark, at 18, as a male, you go in a draw, and if they pick you, you go and serve for a year. I didn't.

News is that which comes from the North, East, West and South, and if it comes from only one point on the compass, then it is a class ; publication and not news.

Even after a bad harvest there must be sowing.

The saddest thing is when a guy is paying so much attention to the world and everything going by that he can't take the time for his own mother.

A thousand years may scare form a state. An hour may lay it in ruins.

I like movies where you can't just put them all in one box.

Top-down authority structures turn employees into bootlickers, breed pointless struggles for political advantage, and discourage dissent.
