The only thing that can ever make a Louisiana boy feel better is Popeye's.
When I first started acting I was about nine years old. I had never been to audition in my life and my agent sent me out. It was just a commercial for 'Harry Potter.' That was the first thing I ever went out for and I got the 'Harry Potter' commercial which was really cool, but I didn't play Harry Potter.
I used to think like Moses. That knocked me down for a couple years and put me in prison. Then I start thinking like Job. Job waited and became the wealthiest and richest man ever 'cause he believed in God.
Perhaps... I mean there are people who defend that it as an art. I don't. I like it but it's not an art form as far as I'm concerned, and yet it's a similar thing, once you can't land those jumps, you're disqualified - that precludes it from ever becoming a serious art form.
'Out of Sight' is one of my favorite films ever. Love Steven Soderbergh. 'Goodfellas' was a huge influence on me in terms of the use of camera. 'Black Orpheus,' a beautiful love story that very few people actually have seen, and that was an influence on 'Beyond the Lights,' too, in terms of the look of the film.
I think Uma Thurman is one of God's creatures, one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.
I guess more players lick themselves that are ever licked by an opposing team. The first thing any man has to know is how to handle himself.
I had always owned them to be the Word of God... the careful reading of the Acts afforded me a practical picture of the early church; which made me feel deeply the contrast with its actual present state; though still, as ever beloved by God.
Name me an emperor who was ever struck by a cannonball.
When we get news 24 hours a day, I think people need the evening newscast more than ever.
When you lose a parent at ten years old, the world seems like a much scarier place. It makes complete sense to me that I took survival courses when I was a teenager and started going to war zones as a reporter. I didn't ever want to be taken advantage of, and I wanted to be able to take care of those around me.
Some members of both Houses have, it is true, been removed from their employments under the Crown; but were they ever told, either by me or by any other of his majesty's servants, that it was for opposing the measures of the administration in Parliament?
I just care about what I get to unearth and what makes me uncomfortable and what makes me grow because, ultimately, I just don't want to ever play it safe.
If we were to find a drummer that we were comfortable with and who we felt could really become a part of what we're about, it'd be great. But would we ever rush to find a guy just get back on the road? No. I think we'd rather go down with the ship.
I was talking to one of my aunties at Christmas and she said she didn't think it was ever in my nature to go against the grain, that I was always a good boy. I think she was right - I did always want to be good.
I'm able to move like no one else you've ever seen in front of a camera.
Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?
All 'Hamlets' are different, and it's the most overwritten play ever written.
When someone asks me to list the 10 best novels ever written, I always refuse to answer.
Has the world ever been changed by anything save the thought and its magic vehicle the Word?
Acquiring a dog may be the only opportunity a human ever has to choose a relative.
Sometimes poverty is the greatest gift you can ever be given. Sometimes loss is the key that leads you to gain.
Every historian has informally an anthropology, without ever using the word.
When we called each other and got the call that Jimmy had died, literally, it all ended right there. Everything we've ever known as human beings, everything we've ever known as a band, changes at that moment, and you can't think clearly.
They've lived here now for more than half of their lives, and they raised a family here and now have grandchildren here... It has become their home, but at the same time, for my parents, I don't think either of them will ever consciously think, 'I am an American.'
I had never really done voice-over. If you've ever seen me, I'm more the communicator through body language and movement... I'm a physical actor.
I would love for TNT to run the whole season at one point. I don't think that'll ever happen, though.
I've been blessed in many ways, but none of the heights from football can ever compare to the depths you go through when you lose a child.
I tell everybody, if you've got a band that works, it's a miracle. It's never going to be perfect, but if it works on some level, hold on to it with both hands and don't ever let it go.
You always feel the drawing you are working on is the best you've ever done... I am only interested in the present.
I wonder if a soldier ever does mend a bullet hole in his coat?
I have new bodyguards ever since I got a TV show. I didn't know, but it's a lot like becoming president. They tell you every single secret, like who shot JFK. When you have a TV show, they not only tell you who shot JFK, but they assign you bodyguards.
Some of the best advice I was ever given was: 'Don't believe your own hype.'
I hardly ever go to the movies.
It's just so cool to be able to go out to dinner and buy my mom's dinner now. You know what I mean? She's just done so much for me. I love that I can give back to her now because she's the most amazing woman ever.
I'm proud to report that in 2004 alone, we approved 3,600 new units of housing - our best year ever!
