David Lynch is like that - every sound, every detail to the end of making the film, he never gives up. It has to be perfect.
It never dawned on me that I had the option of becoming a comedian. I come from a little dirt street town in northwest Texas, and they really don't talk about the arts there much on career day.
I realized that people make cartoons for a living. It had never dawned on me that you could do this as a career.
It never dawned on me I would do anything but show business.
It might be a little embarrassing, but I never ever missed an episode of 'Dawson's Creek' growing up.
I'm the only person in the entire world who has never see 'Dawson's Creek.'
I can't stand tribute bands. It's nice, bless 'em, but it's not right. They can't capture the right spirit. You never see a tribute comedian, a tribute Les Dawson.
Not knowing my birthday had never seemed strange. I knew I'd been born near the end of September, and each year I picked a day, one that didn't fall on a Sunday because it's no fun spending your birthday in church.
As an author, I've never forgotten how to daydream.
There's no point daydreaming about what you want to play, because there might never be a script with that part in.
I used to skip out of high school and go flying. It was just one of those things, I thought it was kind of a cool thing to do. I never thought about doing that as a profession, but I started checking things out and I found out there was a flight school down in Daytona Beach, called Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
Schools that are freely accessible allow the organization of certain specific learning tasks which a person might propose to himself. Schools, when they are compulsory - as we see at this moment in the United States - create a dazed population, a 'learned' population, a mentally pretentious population, such as we have never seen before.
What Whitney Houston has accomplished will never be accomplished. She's the most famous person on the planet as far as vocaling and her songs. So I'm very happy that I can sit here and say I had a chance to know her. And I'm still dazed that she's gone. But she lives because her music is so powerful.
The film I did with Bobby De Niro, 'The King of Comedy' - an awful lot came to me out of that movie because De Niro never allowed me any room to be crazy. If I had tried to play it the way I would normally play it and get hysterical, Bobby would punch me.
Feast of Stephen, Deacon, First Martyr, the man who will not act until he knows all will never act at all.
I never met him. But just growing up where Deacon Jones did, he motivated me to be great, showing the NFL was possible.
A dead end can never be a one way street; you can always turn around and take another road.
Nah, I'm not one of those 'hip-hop is dead' people. I just like different artists. I never look at it as one entity. I've always felt like that.
I never speak ill of dead people or live judges.
The U.S. faces a very dangerous sprint by outlaws to gather the deadliest weapons and technology on the planet, something we always thought possible but hoped would never occur.
