I have a feeling that about 90% of my life has been shaped by my voice, both as an embarrassment and as an advantage.

One of the lessons learned during the Vietnam War was that the depiction of wounded soldiers, of coffins stacked higher than their living guards, had a negative effect on the viewing public.

We just sent our condolences to the President of the United States and the American people on what is a terrible, terrible tragedy.
I was in school, but I wasn't into school. I wasn't doing what I wanted to be doing in school, which was film studies.

I really do believe that no one is too pious to fall or too far gone to be redeemed in some way.

It kills me that I care.

In Cuba, where Wi-Fi is both slow and terrible, you will be an emissary from the future, a hint of the degeneracy to come.

Publicity can be terrible. But only if you don't have any.

My uncle Shawn used to stay with us when we were really young, and I used to come downstairs and see him break dancing on this piece of a cardboard. I probably always thought they were cool since then. I never knew his comedy, but I used to always see him break dancing. And he was terrible at it.

Giggs is the realest.
Discussions of the economy, especially during times of crisis, are often framed in terms of lessons we supposedly learned during the Depression of the 1930s.
