We never thought the first movie would bomb.
I wanted to play music. I didn't think about where it would go or what it would do.
Anyone who considers using a weapon of mass destruction against the United States or its allies must first consider the consequences... We would not specify in advance what our response would be, but it would be both overwhelming and devastating.
Well I would say that we're regular people first of all and we're normal and it's obvious by some of the things that have happened just because our name is famous we're not immune to tragedy.
Why would you give money to somebody whose work you don't understand?
I am itching like hell to play America because I know that if I did the show over there, they would love it.
All my friends from my past would know me as Scott Diggs. Taye Diggs comes from Scott-taye. When I went to college I liked it because it was so different and I have an infatuation with nicknames.
I never really read comics. I bought them, and I would draw them.
Were I to flatter myself with the possibility of success in such combat, it would indeed be presumption.
Charles and I go back since college. None of us thought this would happen, we just wanted to play basketball. This is the highest honor that can ever be paid, and it's mind-blowing.
Science fiction has done a really good job of scaring us into thinking that computers shouldn't get too smart, because as soon as they get really smart, they're going to take over the world and kill us, or something like that. But why would they do that?
Music would lose its charm were not dissonance interspersed at frequent intervals. The closer a composer can come to discord without actually entering it in the score, the more pleasing will be his composition when given life through musical instruments.
I would like to see capital punishment suppressed in all democracies.
Part of me always longed to do just one more film and see what Luke would be like now that he's on the level of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the student having become the master. But it was not meant to be.

I used to spend most of my time straining to be a nice guy so people would like me.
I would adopt a standpoint, irrespective of whether someone was for or against it, if I felt deeply that it was right for the movement.
A stockbroker urged me to buy a stock that would triple its value every year. I told him, 'At my age, I don't even buy green bananas.'
There are countless artists whose shoes I am not worthy to polish - whose prints would not pay the printer. The question of judgment is a puzzling one.
I don't sit around thinking that I'd like to have another husband; only another man would make me think that way.
I had no idea how difficult Sondheim's music would be. All through the rehearsals, I kept flubbing. There were so many tempo changes. I could never get through the opening number without any mistakes. One day, I went up to Hal Prince and offered to leave the show. He laughed it off. He said, 'Don't be silly. That's why we have tryouts.'
We're kind of wishing some parents would come back. And of course we're uneasy about the fact that we wish they'd come back - I mean, what's wrong with us?
I guess I hit a point while I was in college when I realized I would have to do something with my life!
An animal experiment cannot be justifiable unless the experiment is so important that the use of a brain-damaged human would be justifiable.
I have no desire to put my feet up. Why would I?
I would love for film to go back to those days where you had to be able to do everything just to get by.
In life it wasn't what you know, but who you know. I had people who were trying to buy teams and had they bought the teams, I would have gotten to coach because they wanted me to coach. But the people who have the teams hire their friends.
The government would be able to go to court with respect to newspaper articles, broadcast pieces and the like that they thought were bad or harmful or even against the government and try to block them.
I would rather five people knew my work and thought it was good work than five million knew me and were indifferent.
What we are going to do is continue to grow our content spend on original programming, both in absolute numbers and as a percentage of our total spending, because it's been working.

When I saw the movie, I said, I wish I had heard the music. I would have ridden the horse differently.
If I were dammed of body and soul, I know whose prayers would make me whole, mother o' mine o mother o' mine.
The Jews would have us believe that God had this bias to this little small tribe in the middle of the Sinai Desert, and all the rest of humanity is just rubbish. I mean, that is the basic doctrine of the Jewish religion, and that's why it is a most racist religion.
I drive a Nissan Versa and would never spend real money on a car because I destroy things.
And when I was young, my family was perfectly nice. I write a lot about it, as you noticed. But it was rather limited. I think, I don't think anyone in my family would really feel I'd done them an injustice by saying that. We didn't see many people. There were many books. It was as if I wanted to get away from home.
Was I always going to be here? No I was not. I was going to be homeless at one time, a taxi driver, truck driver, or any kind of job that would get me a crust of bread. You never know what's going to happen.
