Once you start classifying and trying to identify your own comedy style, you've ceased to be funny.

I came to think that nobody from England could draw American comic books, because they were clearly all done by this sort of Mafia, all these guys with Italian and Irish names who had the whole thing sewn up. It was actually seeing a comic book drawn by Barry Smith, who was about my age, and English.

It is important to me to take care of my skin. In general I don't like to wear foundation; I'm not a fan of the look. I like my skin fresh and natural enough so my freckles show through.

I only had one player in my 33 years of sports that couldn't be traded. He wore No. 23 - and 45 when he played baseball.

I don't want to say anything derogatory I'm done.

I want at least five kids. I want twins.

Less revenue, more people, more freight, more gridlock - that is not a formula for success.

It's great playing a sport where you don't get hit in the head.

My smartest move was joining Google. It wasn't obvious at the time that it would be a good decision. A lot of people, many of my friends, advised me against it.

If you just love movies enough, you can make a good one.

I wish I could swap closets with Diana Vreeland, but I think only my left thigh would fit into her clothing.

It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.

Breathe-in experience, breathe-out poetry.

Animals' taste systems are specialized for the niche they occupy in the environment. That includes us. As hunters and foragers of the dry savannah, our earliest forebears evolved a taste for important but scarce nutrients: salt and high-energy fats and sugars. That, in a nutshell, explains the widespread popularity of junk food.

Don’t bunt. Aim out of the ballpark. Aim for the company of immortals.

I love traveling around and talking to women in groups like the Girl Scouts, and being able to work with them is such an honor. For me, it's always about working really hard and being able to help other people, which is what I've done with both of my books.

Eventually, I want to be a creative producer that isn't in things. The acting is more of a secondary thing for me now.

Respecting our veterans includes providing them the ways and means they so desperately need to reintegrate into our lives and serve us again as productive members of our civilian community.

Africa is the most weathered continent in the world; 75 percent of its soil has been degraded. You don't just bring that back. I always like to say it's like putting an oxygen mask on a cadaver; it just isn't going to work.

Happy birthday mom. To the best mom in the world Hope you have an awesome day

His style has the desperate jauntiness of an orchestra fiddling away for dear life on a sinking ship.

Be careful lest in casting out your demon you exorcise the best thing in you.

One thing I've learned about death threats is that they're great, actually. You should actually be grateful for death threats because those who are taking the time to threaten you that way are getting it out of their system. That's really what they rant to do, yell at you, and they want to threaten you.

I always wanted to be the underdog. For me, as a portrait photographer, it's the kiss of death to become well known. I did my best work when no one knew who I was. People weren't threatened by me because they didn't think I was a big deal.
