To this day, just always treat people the way you want to be treated. Whether it's family or friends or co-workers, I think it's the most important thing. Whether you have success or don't have it, whether you're a good person is all that matters.
Reagan is the subject of ongoing political debate, and a lot of liberals don't want to take Reagan any more seriously than they did when he was president. I understand why they don't, but they should.
We want to move along and make sure, both internally and externally, that people realize how the company is being run, and it's being run by a group of people now, not just me.
Being known as a writer did change the relationships I had with directors. The rap on actors is that they always want to inflate their parts. But when directors know you write screenplays and have a different view of things, you really get invited into the huddle in a much fuller way. And those collaborations end in friendships.
If we want to create change, we all have to be feminists - men, women, everyone needs to acknowledge that. Sometimes I have more in common with the man than I do the woman in the room.
I never wanted to be a star, and I don't really want to be famous. I just love the stability of my life. I'm a complete family guy.
When people slave over those scripts and pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for them, they don't usually want you to add farts.
Think of the universe as a benevolent parent. A child may want a tub of ice-cream and marshmallows, but a wise parent will give it fruits and vegetables instead. That is not what the child wants, but it is what the child needs.
Go work at the post office or Starbucks if you want balance in your life.
Everyone talks about, 'Get your foot in the door,' but I never understood that mentality. Why would I want to go in that house? Why not build my own house? Why not take a chair and smash a window?
Unless it's a dead-straight short putt, you should focus on a spot somewhere along the line you want to roll the ball on.
If I want to experience the life of an ordinary person, I cannot do it in Asia.
I want to be the horse in the rotation that everybody can really rely on and is going to get that consistent starter.
Failure, it is thought, is what sells, and what people want to hear and read about. I am not so sure.
I want to eliminate the basis of problems and basis of crime, and basis of terrorism.
I honestly eat chocolate all day long. I do realize how blessed I am to be able to eat what I want and not have to live in the gym.
I don't think families can earn enough money with one wage-earner any more. I also think there are a lot of men who don't want to bust their butts and do that kind of work. They want to stay home with the kids, but guys who do want to do that aren't looked up to as the masculine kind of guy, and that's a shame.
I want to be helpful to the charities I support. I think you can dilute it, the more you do. You have to be a bit strong about what you do... otherwise, you risk spreading yourself a bit thin, and you can be less useful.
When you think of Hollywood, you think of the land of opportunity. I always want to have the opportunity to do things conducive to my career.
If you want to make an easy job seem mighty hard, just keep putting off doing it.
I think I matured quite early, but what that does mean is I have moments of complete immaturity. When I come home, I don't want to be an actor. I just want to be a kid. I barely even know what money is.
When things don't come so naturally to you, you want to persevere, you want to keep pushing yourself to overcome obstacles that prevent you from having the kind of life that you want to have.
I don't want to have that thing where I make an album and then I'm super-constantly present in everyone's life for three years, and then gone for the next three.
There are so many forms of soul: David Bowie was soulful as hell; Johnny Cash was soulful as hell; you also have a Prince, a Stevie Wonder. I want to bring my perception of that and not live inside the box of, 'This is the type of tracks you get,' 'This is the type of drums you get.'
I know the importance of family. I mean, it really completes me as a person. I want lots of children; I want so many children. I look at babies' pictures, and I am like... I love kids.
I like to be read. That's most of what any writer could want.
Some actors don't want to, but I prefer to. I like to collaborate. Sometimes you have to keep it to yourself, and people want to do their own thing.
You know how you get close to something you want and then you start doing things to ensure that you don't quite get it? I did a lot of that.
Why shouldn't a child look to want to be a political figure, to change our nation, to lead us the right directions?
If you want to post pictures of yourself online, that's your decision, but you should understand the implications.
People want to see a movie that casts a mature woman across from a mature man.
A lot of folks believe their best years are behind them. But I want Americans to recognize that's not true.
I want to be Geraldine Page; I want to be one of the greats.
Most entrepreneurs don't need as many customers as they think. A lot of people think 10 is too few for a sample. But if all 10 refused a product, why is that not enough? If you want 100, 1,000 or a million customers, you first have to get 10.
I don't want to look exactly the same in everything I do. And if I'm not identifiable, then that can be a blessing or a curse. But I'm fine with it. Because at the end of the day, I'm still working, and I'm enjoying what I do.
It's such a long mission and we get to spend so much time in space... we're doing such exciting research. And I don't want to overemphasize the life science research, but as a physician the life science research that we're doing is extremely exciting.
