I don't think I would have to run a campaign that's financed like General Motors.
I think everyone in their life goes through challenges, whether it's love or money, kids or illness... You have to really not run away from that stuff.
I don't think you could write fiction or create art unless you are sort of a positive person.
I didn't consciously make the decision to write an adult novel. I didn't think of it as my riposte to the YA genre.
I think everyone should approach relationships from the perspective of playing it straight and giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Until he establishes that this is a game. And if it's a game, you need to win. The best thing to do is just walk away from the table.
I think good companies can navigate being public and doing the right things for their customers.
I got a feeling about political correctness. I hate it. It causes us to lie silently instead of saying what we think.
Don't think of your courses as providing all you need for your career.
I think your program has to reflect what your basic feelings are. I'll plead guilty to that.
I can't imagine something worse than scripts being written into a tunnel, thinking, 'I don't know when this ends. I don't know.' It usually ends when people get sick of it, but I think it's great when it gets to end on its own terms.
I don't think it's the job of filmmakers to give anybody answers. I do think, though, that a good film makes you ask questions of yourself as you leave the theatre.
Unfortunately, there's still a lot of beginning writers who think you can just write your first draft and hand it in.
I think e-mail is kind of a cheap way to communicate. It's a lazy way of writing a letter, you know. I write a letter every now and then, you know, pick out somebody and drop them a line, because I always like receiving letters.
It's great that people are basically spending their two weeks of vacation to come out and be with us in some weird part of the world. And I think we owe it to them to take 'em to some cool places.
But I can say that life is good to me. Has been and is good. So I think my task is to be good to it. So how do you be good to life? You live it.
I think pulling off, pulling off a kind of fake documentary of me being a, you know, actual dictator would have been extremely difficult, if not impossible.
Some of my friends said, 'You are nuts.' But I think I am right.
Every single figure on Mount Rushmore was a third party at one time or another, so third parties become major parties, and I think that the Libertarian Party may become my major party.
In group lesson number six I think we learned how to turn backwards and then just kind of wiggle. That wasn't really skating backward, but I guess I was going in the right direction.
I think a lot of Jim Thorpe, the Olympian, and his accomplishments.
I think we probably will end up in America because he would be giving up much more to come and live here. If you want to work in film, that's really where you have to be. But I'm not sure that being an ex-pat is very good for one's sense of self.
I don't eat a lot. I think we overeat.
It's a waste of time for people to say things they think other people want to hear, or try and come off in a certain way. I try to be as honest as I can.
All I know is, I think I would like to continue to do public service.
Think about it: if the world could see how much adoption means from a cat's point of view, shelters would be empty.
It's a bit daunting going into an industry that is very much based around your appearance. I just want to act; I don't care about that stuff. I hate that you need to think about it as much as you do to get work.
I don't think there's one thing I've ever said on the radio that would have been found indecent or obscene.
I want to do amazing roles fit for my age in 30 years. I'm sure I'll be less popular and have less offers then, but I think I'll be able to do act well for my age at the time.
This flattery has been rather slow in coming. I think all of sudden late in life now I'm getting some credit for what I've done. Which is gratifying, but it's kind of a little late.
I do think that narrative, long-form nonfiction is the perfect form because it's rooted in something very real, but we're also, you know, completely spiritual, emotional creatures driven by all sorts of desires and needs.
And I think that George Bush really is a very godly person.
The world I want to live in is a world where everybody is a bit more uncertain about their arguments and is a bit more open to other people's arguments. I think that we can engage ideas without ad hominem attacks.
I think you've got to keep it simple, keep it fresh. Stay away from all that processed stuff, read the labels.
For me, the very last great strip is 'Peanuts.' After 'Peanuts,' there are a very few strips that I enjoyed for different reasons, but I don't think they were great. I don't think anything's come along since Charles Schulz - and I mean since 1950 - that I think rises above the professional or the eccentric into that realm of greatness.
I never see thy face but I think upon hell-fire.
My wife and I both grew up with parents who were very young. Her mom was, I think, 17 or 18 when she was born; my mom was 15 when I was born. So, as we got older, we started thinking a lot about that - about the time that those people missed because we came along when we did and because they devoted so much of their lives to taking care of us.
