Producing a series is like being Lewis and Clark: You know where you're going, you just don't know how you're going to get there. When people say, 'You should create a bible for your show,' I say, 'You don't want a bible. It'll prevent you from making discoveries along the way.' And that's what happened on 'The X-Files.'
You get what you concentrate upon. There is no other main rule.
People may or may not say what they mean... but they always say something designed to get what they want.
What I'm getting at is, you know, if we really want to get serious about helping all the people living in the street and getting people jobs, we could just hire half the people in the country to spy on the other half.
For years I drove cross-country, back and forth a dozen times, sometimes on book tour, sometimes just to get lost and found.
There's nothing like the discipline of having to work on a cold film set on the Danubian plain in Bulgaria. Boy, does it get cold.
Usually, it's the guys who want to get better so they can get more playing time who are always in the gym.
You need not aspire for or get any new state. Get rid of your present thoughts, that is all.
The older you get, the less physically and mentally robust you become.
I never thought I'd get a chance to do what I'm doing. It's such a dream.
The Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci used to say that for her, an interview was like a war. I get the sense that we've forgotten that here in the United States. You turn on the TV, and you see very bland interviews. Journalists in the United States are very cozy with power, very close to those in power.
I really wanna get my paws on scoring a film.
If I were running the world I would have it rain only between 2 and 5 a.m. Anyone who was out then ought to get wet.
We wanted to interview people on the show, do variety, get the artists, the guests involved with us in our group. They wanted to keep the four guys together. We wanted to change the format.
Above all, this country is our own. Nobody has to get up in the morning and worry what his neighbors think of him. Being a Jew is no problem here.
That is the great pleasure of working with great directors. You get to look at the world through many different prisms. I guess I love talent, whatever form it takes.
In a building with apartments, of course, you want to make connections. Life is easier that way. There's salt if you don't have salt; you can knock at someone's door, like in any city. But you know, you can hear the others, and you want to sleep, you get annoyed.
But if I can be convinced and then through the work that we do together, the orchestra can really be convinced of the big sweep of that communication that the piece suggests, then the audience will get it and it will be a good experience for all of us.
Professional men, they have no cares; whatever happens, they get theirs.
As I get older, my sense of humor is my biggest asset.
I want to see gay couples stuck with their significant other at Home Depot with that far away look in their eye, get me out of here.
Childfree women are actually great assets to the planet. Our carbon footprint is smaller than a mom's! And we have enough money to write checks to organizations that help kids get vaccinations, vitamins, and educations yet have plenty of free time to advise your daughter that one day she will regret piercing her lip.
'Anthem' was the record that almost didn't get made for a completely different reason than 'Underneath.'
I love the notification system on Google+. If someone mentions you, you get notified via Gmail. That's very useful for someone like me.
A lot of times, as an actor, especially a TV or film actor, you don't get a lot of interaction, or you don't get the feeling you are actually touching someone, or someone actually cares about what you do.
I believe the greatest asset a head of state can have is the ability to get a good night's sleep.
I'm pretty upfront about my love and admiration for the military. One of the perks of making movies is that you get to sort of follow your own passions, and I believe quite passionately that we don't pay enough attention and respect to our veterans. Not just our wounded veterans, but all veterans.
Here in Hollywood you can actually get a marriage license printed on an Etch-A-Sketch.
It's a good community, country music, because we get the chance to sit down and... me and Tim McGraw spend a lot of time. Me and Kenny Chesney had the opportunity to spend a lot of time together. It's been a lot of great advice through the years.
The capacity for hope is the most significant fact of life. It provides human beings with a sense of destination and the energy to get started.
There are some things that are never out of fashion because they just look good. But if you want classic style these days you have to get it made.
I always try to be myself. Ever since I was an introverted kid, I'd get on stage and be able to break out of my shell.
Every time we get into an argument about cooking or laundering shirts, she shakes her Oscar at me, and I'm dead in the water. It would be a great equalizer now after 33 years.
Clothes, thank God I can get them from designers.
I didn't really care about sales figures. I just wanted to get things off my chest.
But, you know, it's still a drag to get your picture taken when you're eating a sandwich. It's a downer.
