I think the more you do as an actor, the more facility you have to switch on and off.
What I think is remarkable about my mum and dad is they had no interest in films, really. None.
The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.
To this day, I still think Lonesome Dove is my best part.
I think that Star Wars revolutionized not only sci-fi movies, but also the entire industry in the way that things are done.
I really do think of it in moral terms. I think that we can't kid ourselves that the storytelling impulse is innocent and does nothing but bring good to the world.
I think my life is often more interesting in the tabloids than it is in real life - or less; it depends. But I'm curious. I just try and see what they're going to make up next, and I try to just have fun with it and not take it all too seriously, because otherwise you can't function.
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.
As a writer, I don't have a sense of my own position. I try to disappear and not to think of myself at all when I'm working.
Applause that comes thundering with such force you might think the audience merely suffers the music as an excuse for its ovations.
I think what you can see is that we have worked very closely with China. China has really stood up in putting the pressure on North Korea.
If you were brought up in the '40s, a kid in Ossining, New York, hanging out at the poolroom and stealing, how can you think, 'Here I am in Ossining. I, too, can be a movie star!'
Basically, when I look at my life, I think I'm lucky to be given the opportunities I've had.
If I have any advantage, maybe, as a writer, it is that I don't think I'm very interesting. I mean, beginning a novel with the last sentence is a pretty plodding way to spend your life.
Chicago's known for the drill. Keefs, Lil Durks, and whatnot. My music, on the other hand, it has a message to it. I think that's what sets me apart. I think it gets deeper than saying anything on a trap beat. I'm putting stories together, and people are relating to what I am saying.
Most of the time, I do what I'm offered, but after I worked for it. I think I try much harder for the things that scare me and inspire me. The things that scare and inspire you are things that are different from what you did before.
Do I think human beings are meant to be in 40-year-long monogamous, faithful, relationships? No, No, No. Whoever said they were? Only the Bible or something. No one ever said that was a good idea.
I don't think that because I'm not married it's made my life any less. That old maid myth is garbage.
I think about the game plan, and then I go through all the little things that are almost impossible to do. If you go through those things in your mind, you can do them.
You must be one of the few people with a copy of that. I don't think they printed too many.
I think fame is such a scary thing, and it's something I can never understand. It's terrifying, but it's the only way I get to do what I love every day, you know?
I think I'm in the best place I've ever been in so many ways. I've just come out of five years of very difficult times for numerous reasons and yet at the same time it's lead to such growth. It's very exciting that way.
When you see people your own age afflicted and experiencing life-threatening illnesses, I think it prompts you to apply to yourself the philosophy, 'I want to do the best I know how to do every day.'
I think a lot of Americans are not sure which side Washington is on: the side of banks or the side of the people.
I think Japanese audiences are much more attentive than a London audience.
I'm not a great director or an auteur; I'm an ensemble director. I do think I can get wonderful performances out of actors.
'Star Trek' never grabbed me. Every time I hear about Klingons, I think of those little lint balls that stick to your clothes in the dryer.
I need to keep my story count high. I'm trying to get as many stories in my hour as is humanly possible. We're telling more stories in our hour than any national newscast has in the history of this business, I think.
I went to my boss, and I said, 'Look, I'd like to design these ties because I think they could be new.' He said, 'The world isn't ready for Ralph Lauren.' I never forgot that because... I thought that was a compliment.

I think it is wrong that we went against The U.N. and that we have alienated our allies and invaded a country that hasn't threatened us, that it is a pre-emptive strike.
I think of myself as a positive agnostic. I don't know, therefore I'm open. I don't know, therefore I'm interested.

I think it would be very scary and very confusing if I didn't understand where people are coming from, but I've felt the exact same way for so many other bands, growing up. It's not really a big deal.
