You need to rebel to see the other options and to get a much richer, fuller sense of the world. And it's only once you've worked through that and seen through that that you can come back and accept who you are. You have to try all the other options.
It is only when the rich are sick that they fully feel the impotence of wealth.
Although there were only about 24 episodes made it seems to run forever. They take a couple of episodes and put them together, making a feature film once in a while. I had good fun making the series.
I have fun making films. I love making films. It's the only thing I know how to do. And I do it well.
Everybody cares about not only quality and functionality, but they also want the power of choice, whether it's a small vehicle or a large vehicle.
You can't take a congressman to lunch for $25 and buy him a hamburger or a steak or something like that. But you can take him to a fund-raising lunch and not only buy him that steak, but give him $25,000 extra and call it a fund-raiser - and have all the same access and all the same interactions with that congressman.

I'm a typical Irishman in that I only get home for weddings and funerals.
You're only as good as your last haircut.
No one wants to read a story where I saw a cute puppy on the street and I petted it. I mean, that's not funny. I only write about the funny stuff.
Fur is only of use to the animal that wears it.
Furthermore, America suffers not only from a lack of standards, but also not infrequently from a confusion or an inversion of standards.
I was not a fussy kid and had a good appetite. Only, I was not happy to eat keerai and vegetables.
I still get a lot of material but I find that as one gets older you get more fussy. You know you're going spend a year or a year and a half on this and you know there are only so many films in you so you get a little bit more selective.
Change is the only constant, and to turn one's back and pretend that it is not coming is an exercise in futility.
There is an increasingly pervasive sense not only of failure, but of futility. The legislative process has become a cruel shell game and the service system has become a bureaucratic maze, inefficient, incomprehensible, and inaccessible.
