When I'm swinging well, nobody hits the golf ball any better than I do.
Turkeys know their names, come when you call, and are totally affectionate. They're better than teenagers.
Man has no greater enemy than himself.
Detroit, the heart of the country... I grew up on 10 Mile, 2 miles better than 8 Mile.
For the last five years, we have been presented with the idea that Barack Obama is superhuman. Barack Obama is unlike any of us or anyone else. And he isn't. In fact, he's much less achieved and much less accomplished than most who have gotten half as far as he has, and I think maybe what we saw was the best.
If I was a sex symbol, I would be getting laid a lot more than I am now.
Many people, companies, and organizations are trying to protect the past at any cost. We see this regularly in business as the incumbent vs. innovator fight, but I think it's more profound than that. It's literally a difference in point of view.
I've never been particularly interested in genre distinctions. They seem to me more useful to a librarian than to a writer.
The pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man... It is more powerful than external circumstances.
What I wanted more than anything was a long career.
Martha Graham, along with George Balanchine, is one of the two commanding figures in 20th-century American dance. For those much younger than I am, her genius as a performer will have to be taken on faith - and on the always-suspect evidence of film. What will last, if things go well, is her genius as a choreographer, as a woman of the theater.
Downtown Detroit has more vacant buildings over 10 storeys than any city in the world.
Of all human powers operating on the affairs of mankind, none is greater than that of competition.
I think through education, belief in God, and good engineering, our children become a lot better at what they're doing than we did, and that starts with the very first sign of life on the face of this earth.
I never really read a character before that I connected with more than Peeta. So, for me, if I couldn't get that job I was like, 'Well, if I can't play practically myself in a movie, what can I play?'
My friends seem much more excited about my doing Anastasia than Brainstorm... and to tell you the truth, I feel the same way.
Nowhere else have I grown more in my faith than in the midst of my family.
Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there - I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television.
What is the one country in the Middle East that has not been attacked by ISIS? One. That is Iran. That is more than happenstance, I'm sure.
Politics isn't just a game of clashing parties and competing interests. The right reason is to challenge the status quo, to serve the common good, and to leave this nation better than we found it.
Being grown up and in a serious relationship, I've learned so much. I'm happier than I've every been.
I think a woman's body is so much more sensual than a man's. I'm not saying strip off all your clothes, but there are certain photos I like people taking of me, where I'm comfortable. As long as it's tasteful, why not?
Nothing is more common than for men to think that because they are familiar with words they understand the ideas they stand for.

Character is much easier kept than recovered.
I think it's a great document of John Stevens' originality. At that time he was already much more fully formed in his conception than I was. I was sort of struggling to keep up, and sometimes it's pretty obvious.

I'm probably more of a stand-up comedian than an actor.
Honestly, being a doctor could make you more close minded than regular people.
I made some friends who are still friends, and this is the city of my birth. I love living here when there's a reason to, other than just moving here. I still don't like the winters here, but it's an amazing city and I love it.
I don't want to be any more interesting than I am. I love the life that I get to live, which is one of real independence and privacy and autonomy.
I find it so easy to get distracted - I try not to do more than one thing at any one time.
