Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at.
Oh, man. I love '13 Going on 30,' 'I love Failure to Launch,' I love 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.'
What's interesting about Laurel and Hardy is that in most comedy teams, there's a straight man, and then there's the funny guy. And with Laurel and Hardy, they're both the funny guy.
The mere toleration of the slave trade could not make slavery itself - the right of property in man - lawful any where; not even on board the slave ship. Toleration of a wrong is not law.
Yes, it is worse than thrown away, because every fair minded man must admit that the expenditure of this sum of money in the county for intoxicating liquor creates lawlessness, makes criminals, wrecks homes and brings trouble to innocent women and children.
I wanted the influence. In the end I wasn't very good at being a president. I looked out of the window and thought that the man cutting the lawn actually seemed to have more control over what he was doing.
The wise man does not lay up his own treasures. The more he gives to others, the more he has for his own.
The first thought that I had about really trying to get sober was, 'Man, I could do a lot of good in the world. I can lead by example and just be this heroic recovery guy.' And that's just a bad reason to get sober. You can't get sober for anybody's benefit, let alone the world at large. You really got to do it for yourself.

I am the actor that I am. I do what I do. I've been a 'leading man' playing romantic leads for a long time now.
I wanted to be a leading man - the black lawyer, the black doctor, the black policeman.
I don't even think of myself as particularly good looking, and not at all a typical kind of Hollywood leading man sort of actor.
Being a leading man... that's like saying, 'I want to be astronaut.' That's not going to happen.
I always wanted to be a leading man!
I've said no to a lot of things because they didn't make me a leading man. They put me in a category I wasn't interested in.
I don't want to be Mr. Romantic Leading Man. I don't want to be the Dance Dude. I don't want to be the Action Guy. If I had to do any one of those all my life, it'd drive me crazy.
Whether it's being a leading man, making TV shows, being with my family, I've learned a lot.
Word leaked out that there's only one man playing all Loompas.
