My mother has always been unhappy with what I do. She would rather I do something nicer, like be a bricklayer.
I'm an actor. It's like being a bricklayer. Sometimes I'm building a little wall, and the next time I'm building a palace.
Fame hit me like a ton of bricks.
Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.
I got in the school band and the school choir. It all hit me like a ton of bricks, everything just came out. I played percussion for a while, and stayed after school forever just tinkering around with different things, the clarinets and the violins.
I love massive books: books so big, like bricks, you could drown yourself in a pool with them if you're not careful.
Actors need bricks to play with, and in fact we rejected all the improvised fragments we had made without a plan. Improvisation without a plan is like tennis without tennis balls.
If you want to give a tangible present, but you know the recipient wants cash, give a little bit of both.

Me carrying a briefcase is like a hotdog wearing earrings.
Sean Spicer gives press briefings like someone is going through his browser history while he watches.
I did, like, one or two plays in high school, but I don't think I realized I wanted to do comedy until I got to college, and I started doing improv and saw the Upright Citizens Brigade perform and did workshops with them.
For far too long we have continued to mark our military prowess by the size of our forces: believing that numbers of ships, planes, and brigades is what most matters - just like during the Cold War.
Ensuring a bright future for all our children is the responsibility of the community, the schools, families and like it or not- politicians as well.
There is no place like America. Between the stunning skyline of New York and the bright lights of Hollywood it is out there.
I like bold statements. I'm very nearsighted, and I'm terrible at the whole contacts thing. I figured, 'Why not get some glasses that are fun, that contrast with my skin tone and brighten things up.'
Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession.
