Among the enduring truths I keep bumping into when there is the luxury of time to get to know people or institutions, is that their decisions are often made for what are not, strictly speaking, reasons of logic.
In a way, we're going backwards. In the early '80s, it was like all these huge strides, and everything was more free and easy. I think we're going back. I don't know if it's the economics or what, but things are getting more right-wing, definitely.
I know that, as a comedian, I've made great strides because I've worked as hard as a person can work at being at least wildly amusing.
This is someone who has a very stringent morality, and believes the system works, and has been deeply, deeply disappointed, and hurt, by it. You know, so she's in a very different place in life.
I was a mechanic in the Navy. And mechanics in the Navy are like mechanics in airlines. You may have more stripes than I do, but you don't know how to fix the airplane.
Dancers are stripped enough onstage. You don't have to know more about them than they've given you already.
For young boys, just to know you exist in any capacity is a strong feeling.

You know, search has never been a strong suit of Facebook.
I know Penny Toler and coach Ross have worked hard to put together a strong team this year, and I am ready to start the season with my teammates.
When you have a team that has won for 20 years, the mentality is strong. When you don't play well, you still know you are a strong team.
The women I draw all have the same sort of personality. I can't draw gentle girls; I only know how to draw ones who are strong-willed.
In this business, I don't know how you can have a plan or how you can orchestrate anything. But I've been lucky with my choices. I'm very strong-willed, so I've been able to stick with it. I'm lucky there.
You know, I think I'm a stronger person for realizing that you can't make everybody love you.
I'm the most stubborn person I know.
I don't know why you would trade a stud pitcher.
I was in the drama club, and I was one of seven co-presidents of the student body. Students elected me - I don't know why!
I was in the drama club, and I was one of seven co-presidents of the student body. Students elected me; I don't know why! There were only 330 kids in my high school, though, so it wasn't a lot of kids to impress or reign over.
I think indie films have more of a fresh, experimental vibe about them, whereas studio films know what they want and can basically get it.
