Your whole life doesn't have to be one long, smart monologue.
I've had some shows where I really plan out what I'm going to say. Then I've had other shows where I'm like, 'Take a sip of the Ole Smoky Moonshine and just let it be natural and cross your fingers that you say the right things.'
In Canada, you can't even have a barbecue in your backyard without being attacked by a moose or even a grizzly bear. Then again, the grizzlies don't beat anyone here in Vancouver; oh, it's true, it's true.
Your humble critic confesses that he has been wrestling with 'weight issues' since leaving college lo these, uh, several years ago, so it's hard to be receptive to the moralistic scolding and patronizing encouragement offered endlessly by the allegedly well-meaning.
Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right.
The consumer isn't a moron; she is your wife.
If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are.
In every movie and every TV show, the dads are morons. And dads tend to react by doing what dads do best: They check out. They say, 'Ask your mother.'
To suspect your own mortality is to know the beginning of terror, to learn irrefutably that you are mortal is to know the end of terror.
Everything I do in business moves toward eliminating brick and mortar. Call us up and anywhere in the contiguous United States, we’ll get your vehicle and take care of it.
I think your life is governed not by the bricks or mortar around you, it's governed by who holds your hand and who spits in your eye.
If you're going to live in the house make it your goal to just pay off your mortgage.
Pay off your mortgage before retirement, and that's one less bill you'll have to worry about when you're on a fixed income.
Your life moves in patterns toward things, and things that we achieve finally are part of this mosaic. I just think that we create our own fate.
The most difficult thing is the organization of people and the expression of your intentions. It's very easy to have a picture in your head and to imagine that you've told everybody about what you need.
If you got up this morning and had fruits for breakfast, it was probably picked by the bent back of an immigrant worker. If you slept in a hotel or motel of the nation, you probably had your room done by an immigrant worker.
To me, cinema is not a movie or a TV screen, and it's not a seat in a building versus one in your living room. It's the art of motion pictures.
If you're not going to be rewarded for your virtues, and instead you're going to be punished for them, then what's your motivation to continue?
Once you're a Motown artist, that's your stigmatism, and I was there from the very first day.
This has always been a motto of mine: Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work.
