I think that what 'Oz' did is it spawned a great generation of television production. But people know its place in television and just in great dramas. It's the foundation of my career. Most producers, show runners, directors, and casting directors put me in movies based on my performance in that show.
I think the general anxiety of the 1960s - '70s spawned our interest in the living dead. When people worry about the end of their world, they need a safe vessel for all their fears. Zombies provide that vessel because they're 'safe.'
Do you wish people to think well of you? Don't speak well of yourself.
I love tearing people's speakers up.
If I could be good at any sport, it'd be javelin. I know a few people I would love to throw a spear at.
When 9/11 happened, I was like, 'I gotta do something.' I went and talked to the recruiters, and I found out about the Special Forces 18X program. They take qualified people off the street, and they give them a shot at Special Forces. I was like, 'So I could go try out for Special Forces?'
Let's just say I was in Special Forces and leave it at that. People can read into that what they like.
Television news is now entertainment, and the stories are being written by the people that have a special interest in them.
People are looking for a leader independent of powerful, wealthy special interests that always push to the front of the line.
It's expensive to raise a child with special needs, which people don't even think about. Emotionally it can be a struggle, but financially it's really rough.
As I grew up, I became aware that there are people with special needs out there, and I have a real connection with them.
By growing up at a center for people with special needs, I learned to always fight hard to achieve what I want. In this regard, I was incredibly lucky.
I don't think most people understand that when I wasn't running for president, I was working. Because I have to earn income. I have three kids in college. And three in school. And I have a little girl that has a lot of special needs. So I've got to work for a living. I was working already.
I hate that people think going to the theatre is a special occasion. I wish people would treat it as normally as going to the cinema.
I think fine dining should be part of the community where it is, more than just for the people who are going to make a special occasion.
The truth is, the reason why a party is fun is because you are enjoying the people you are with. It doest have much to do with the decor or what you wear... It's really just about being with each other and spending special time together.
Our time is so specialised that we have people who know more and more or less and less.
When thinking through who to bring together to generate new ideas, it is more effective to combine specialists from very different and unrelated disciplines rather than a variety of people with different skills sets in the same field.
When you need help, you have to look for it: at times, it's necessary. People are specialists; that's what they're there for. You have to use them.
Rising living standards - whether in a village, a region, a nation, or the world - depend first on specialization: on letting people concentrate on what they do best and trade with others who specialize in other things.
