'Drive' is a genre piece, and a lot of times we don't get really sophisticated genre films.
Politics is almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times.
I think often times on Joss Whedon's shows he can make you hate a character for a period and then love the character. He does it effortlessly.
A lot of times I would go into a room and audition for whatever sitcom it was and they would expect me to do sort of what my dad was doing and I am not him so they would be disappointed and I would feel nervous and not know exactly how to do it.

Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times.
When Edward Gibbon was writing about the fall of the Roman Empire in the late 18th century, he could argue that transportation hadn't changed since ancient times. An imperial messenger on the Roman roads could get from Rome to London even faster in A.D. 100 than in 1750. But by 1850, and even more obviously today, all of that has changed.

The '80s was a wild decade, and I had some fantastic times. And I did some really fun work.

I am fascinated with times past.
The fact that I made a special movie with an old-fashioned style - even if it's a mix between with modern and old-fashioned things - must mean I feel both ways about change. In a way I'm resisting, but in a way adapting myself to the times.
We lie more to strangers than we lie to co-workers. Extroverts lie more than introverts. Men lie eight times more about themselves than they do other people. Women lie more to protect other people.
I always wanted the films to play in malls, and I wanted as many people as possible to see them. I never want them to be marginalized in the kind of rarefied, elitist world. I always have hopes that the films will permeate culture in a big way. A lot of times, I'm wrong, but it's always the hope.
Series of syllables which have been learned by heart, forgotten, and learned anew must be similar as to their inner conditions at the times when they can be recited.
If America had been discovered as many times as I have, no one would remember Columbus.
A lot of times I find that people who are blessed with the most talent don't ever develop that attitude, and the ones who aren't blessed in that way are the most competitive and have the biggest heart.

House Democrats have tried to increase port security funding on this House floor four times over the last 4 years, and House Republicans have defeated our efforts every single time.

Not a single person I named hadn't already been named at least a half-dozen times and wasn't already on he blacklist.

The guy comes up to the plate, there's always a chance where he can get a grand slam and everybody forgets about all the times he missed.
Every industry has slack times, and everyone has bad days at work.
