Honesty will never break you.
If you have a little extra parking, I err on the side of getting rid of it in favor of having some more greenery.
As long as each song makes somebody feel something, I think that's the point of it all. I don't want it to just be background music, you know?
It doesn't matter whether you are rich or poor - as long as you've got money.
If you cannot learn to love real art, at least learn to hate sham art and reject it.
When you give of yourself, it's draining.
You know how it is with writing. You just write what you want to write. There's no way to predict what is good or bad. You just do what you think is funny, and either it works or you're finished. It's impossible to predict anything.
You know, modern liberals are just, I think frankly, totally off the deep end... their only answer is to yell racism and hide.
In Paris, one is always reminded of being a foreigner. If you park your car wrong, it is not the fact that it's on the sidewalk that matters, but the fact that you speak with an accent.
Hatred is something peculiar. You will always find it strongest and most violent where there is the lowest degree of culture.
If you want to do something, go for it -you've got nothing to lose.
You can think you've made it and yet the next day's press will always be waiting for you, the public will always ask more of you. In short, you can always do better!
You should want to give something back.
To me that's what art is about - when you don't really have any control over your desires to do it.
I still have my Levi's jacket that I bought on the Portobello Road when I was 14, and it's like part of me, you know, it's got oils in it, and it's my comfort, security blanket or something.
No one ever taught me and I can't teach anyone. If you can't explain it, how can you take credit for it?
I remember when I first came around, the computer-generated stuff was pretty wicked. I was like, 'Wow!' but I feel like then for the longest time, we saw so much of it, after a while, you might as well just be watching an animated movie.
With CG, I can do more and be sillier. In 'Diary,' there's a scene where they hit a guy with acid, and the camera is never off him, and you see it gradually eat through his skull and get all the way through his brain. That's fun, too.
If people are like, 'Oh, you're an icon,' then whatever. But who thinks of themselves like that? It's not like I have posters of myself on the wall.
Comedy is probably a lot harder for me. Maybe it's because I've been doing drama for so long or maybe it's because... you don't want to search for a laugh; you can't try to be funny, you just have to naturally be funny or be in a situation that's funny.
As she sallied forth from her boudoir, you would never have guessed how quickly she could strip for action.
In games, we know who has won... You get the reinforcement for having played well.
You cannot spend your way out of recession or borrow your way out of debt.
A shiny ring isn't romantic to me. I think thought and love into what you do for the person you're in love with - that's romance.
It's best not to think about winning or losing trades anyway, because the best ones work out for both teams. But, as a rule, if you're the team that's selling - if you're out of it, and you're trading with a team that's in it - you usually have the pick of just about their whole farm system, with a few exclusions.
I have written things that Republicans and Democrats and all kinds of figures have either hated or felt very uncomfortable about. Because in doing these long projects and books, you get close to the bone. And they're not calling me up and asking me for dinner.
Often, when you've reached a very high level of achievement, you almost become paralyzed by the idea that anything you might do might be imperfect. Perfection is just the striving, the effort, the struggle, but it's hard to remember that.
You look at the Pew Hispanic Center study on the number of illegal aliens in America and the number of jobs they have, that's 7.4 million, illegal aliens in America. A quick way to create jobs in America is to remove those illegal aliens from our community. That frees up 7.4 million jobs that American can seek.
'Hibakusha' is an animated docu-drama that Choz Belen and I are directing, and it will take you through the earliest memories of a Hiroshima atomic bomb survivor named Kaz Suyeishi.
The worst thing about age is not quite being able to do what you once did. The best thing is learning to accept what you've got and what you are.
It's not how you come out of the starting blocks.
When you win in straight sets, where is the challenge?
Ideas must counter ideas. You can drop all the bombs you want, but if you don't pull up weeds by their roots, they just grow back.
I am pleased to tell you that he is finally getting some rest and is regaining his appetite as well.
Be serious. You've got to do the job you were hired to do well, but there's always more you can do. When I was an assistant, I would say to myself, 'You may not be an executive, but act like one.' I would volunteer for any creative assignment - read scripts, do 'coverage,' write notes.
