I was never really a character actor - I was a leading man who was always cast as a character. I wanted to be Jack Nicholson or Jean Gabin.
Ensure that your script is watertight. If it's not on the page, it will never magically appear on the screen.
I never said all Democrats were saloonkeepers. What I said was that all saloonkeepers are Democrats.
I grew up on a farm, so there were rifles around. Every March around springtime, there's a big hunt that goes on, and you go out and hunt down all the pheasants. I actually never shot the pheasants; I'm not a big fan of killing animals myself.
I never promise something; I always say that I will try. Because if you promise something and you don't do it, you will always be under pressure.
None of my neighbors believe in what I say. They refuse to wear the rings. They will never accept my invention until the day they die. That's what I call the real antichrists.
When somebody blazes a path to a highway that never end, you should appreciate 'em some.
I never, ever see myself as a celebrity or famous, so I poke fun at that.
The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.
There was a time when country never used to do videos.
I've never fallen in love right off the bat. I get scared to say I love you too soon because it means so much. It means you're not seeing an end to things.
I never said that movies were struggling behind TV. I'm just saying that movies have a better creative cache.
I was originally going to be a lawyer, and the only thing I remember from the art of cross-examination is - you can see this one coming up Sixth Avenue - never ask a question the answer to which you do not know.
I never even held a guitar until I was 23 and living in California, but then loved it. I'm really not an accomplished instrumentalist. Maybe that has something to do with why I write and sing.
We are celebrating the feast of the Eternal Birth which God the Father has borne and never ceases to bear in all eternity... But if it takes not place in me, what avails it? Everything lies in this, that it should take place in me.
Meditation had never been tried before in a medical center, so we had no idea whether mainstream Americans would accept a clinic whose foundation was intensive training in meditative discipline.
I was never a good journalist, because I would make things up. A lot of people frowned on that, which is why I ended up in fiction.
I had never thought of myself as a dramatist, and, for really good technical results, the thought came too late: a man of letters has become too wordy to write economically for the stage.
I was never interested in singing in the church choir or in school. I was more interested in becoming a musician.
I shot a couple of movies in jail, but I was never in jail.
I have never lost my faith in God.
I'm always excited by the unlikely, never by ordinary things.
Today I bought two lottery tickets, because I had a feeling that it would be now or never - they were both blanks. So I am not going to be rich after all. Nothing at all to be done about it.
I've never flown a kite.
I like to say that journalism is the graduate school from which you never graduate.
I never do, I don't even go to the retrospectives.
Blade Runner appears regularly, two or three times a year in various shapes and forms of science fiction. It set the pace for what is essentially urban science fiction, urban future and it's why I've never re-visited that area because I feel I've done it.
Quit now, you'll never make it. If you disregard this advice, you'll be halfway there.
I never do any television without chocolate. That's my motto and I live by it. Quite often I write the scripts and I make sure there are chocolate scenes. Actually I'm a bit of a chocolate tart and will eat anything. It's amazing I'm so slim.
I will never have anything that is remotely technical near my bath time. I completely zone out and stare up at the ceiling. For me, it's like a form of meditation. It's a time where I can just actually turn off.
Man lives freely only by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him.
I never did anything dishonest.
I don't have muscle tone. I'm just flab. I'm not a daredevil. I don't like pain, I don't like cold, I don't want to feel exhausted. But the sense of accomplishment is something I've never felt before, in a physical sense.
Meryl Streep does things I would never have thought possible... Her presence on screen is outstanding.
Unfortunately I'm not a smoker, so cigars have never been a part of my agenda.
Well, my career choice made a difference because I never would have met my wife, Jenny. I met her through comedian Buddy Hackett. He set us up on a blind date and then we got married.
