I'm not afraid to go completely over the top. A lot of people are scared to seem silly or to embarrass themselves, and I really don't have that at all - I don't mind making a fool of myself. I like to just have fun and really go for it.
Don't ever forget that a small group of thoughtful people can change the world, it's the only thing that ever has.

I think that, you know, when we start talking about the Tea Party, people want to marginalize that into some kind of organization or party, but it really isn't.

The studios have been taken over by marketing people and accountants.
The way to build billion dollar companies is to first build something people love. There isn't really a shortcut there.
Smart people are a dime a dozen. What matters is the ability to think different... to think out of the box.
We had a few tragic accidents in our state, as they've had in every state, from train crashes on down. And really, no text is worth dying for; that is our message to young people. And this is such a new phenomenon when you look at the number of texts and how they've increased exponentially in just the last few years.
Everest is not real climbing. It's rich people climbing. It's a trophy on the wall, and they're done... When I say I wish I'd never gone, I really mean that.

I think there are some people in life who are not marriage material and Chris is one of them.
The peoples of this world must unite or they will perish.
I've worked in many companies, and I think that, number one, if you are going to have a great environment, you produce great work... If people are happy, that's what's important. Life is short.
Countries around the world have their own immigration laws and methods of dealing with a recurring theme: desperate people searching for peace from volatile parts of the world. And nations everywhere thrive and prosper from the contributions of immigrants and the children of immigrants - including right here in the U.S.
What I did, you know, being away from my family, letting so many people down. I let myself down, not being out on the football field, being in a prison bed, in a prison bunk, writing letters home, you know. That wasn't my life.
Some people, they got housing loans, and I think they're responsible for taking a loan they didn't qualify for?
Whenever I am losing, it's like, 'It's his fault'. And whenever I'm winning it's like, 'That's us'. That's the team, the people.
Any time there is a lot of money or ego involved, people tend to behave badly.
There is nowhere you can go and only be with people who are like you. Give it up.
Just as an athlete with natural gifts may fail to develop the fundamental skills necessary to play their sport after their talent fades, so people naturally disposed to faith may fail to develop the skills necessary to sustain them for a lifetime.
Sure, things could always have been done better, but I just wish people would drop their political hammers for a few weeks, as happened in 2001, and work on the problem at hand.
I can put my legs behind my head. That's a fun fact that not a lot of people know!
Politics is just show business for ugly people.
'Family Guy' has this weird thing of attracting people. People either hate it or can't get enough of it. There's really no one in between.
Television is a prisoner of dialogue and steady-cam. People walk down a hall, and the camera follows them around a corner.
Certainly, people can get along without siblings. Single children do, and there are people who have irreparably estranged relationships with their siblings who live full and satisfying lives, but to have siblings and not make the most of that resource is squandering one of the greatest interpersonal resources you'll ever have.
When I walk onto a film set, I become frightened and nervous. There's all this equipment, all these people, and most of them do things you don't know how to do. I didn't come from a film background.
I actually was raised Baptist. I'm from the South, so you definitely know a lot of conservative people.
We were taught North Korea is a heaven. They told us how people in western countries die in hospital or have no money to study in school.
The diversity of America is a strength of the country, and I don't think that we use that. We don't talk about our strengths. I mean, having so many diverse people in this country from all aspects of all over the world, and we don't use that. I think we should talk about who we are - that melting pot that we've become.
I want to be able to say on my deathbed that I reached a few people. That would be very nice, just to be able to say that.
Something great about 'The Last Ship' is that it employs a lot of actors, and a lot of actors are getting work because of it, and all these people are in here, and all these artists are working together.
In my day, the films you got were about mature people, people with some kind of weight.
The White House used to belong to the American people. At least that's what I learned from history books and from covering every president starting with John F. Kennedy.
