“Those who are truly brave, shall never live in fear.”

Our reputations precedes us. If I know someone is not nice, not kind, an asshole – I generally don’t want to work with them.

My philosophy is, it’s always very rewarding when you can make an audience laugh. I don’t mind making fun of myself. I like self-deprecating comedy. But I’d like you to laugh with me occasionally, too.

We do today what they won’t, so tomorrow we accomplish what they can’t.

Change doesn’t begin when we get knocked on our ass. It begins the moment we decide to get back up on our own feet.

I like to use the hard times of the past to motivate me today.

Be the person that when your feet touch the floor in the morning the devil says, “awe s***.. they’re up”.

I think that always makes it fun, trying to create a heroic character and putting your own twist on it and injecting your own personality into it.

The whole idea is just to continue to make movies that I enjoy playing and that audiences are going to enjoy me in just to put out quality on a lot of different levels.

With drive and a bit of talent, you can move mountains.

It’s important for everybody to creatively honor him in the best way that we possibly can.

To be an individual is the hardest thing in the world, because nobody likes you to be an individual. Everybody wants to kill your individuality and to make a sheep out of you. Nobody wants you to be on your own.

A boy who won’t stand up for himself becomes a man who can’t stand up to anything.

Come out of the masses. Stand alone like a lion and live your life according to your own light.

Said after she had been seriously ill: The doctors were very brave about it.

Look you dead in the face Now tell me how good does it taste.

Look you dead in the face Now tell me how good does it taste.

Look you dead in the face Now tell me how good does it taste.

America makes prodigious mistakes, America has colossal faults, but one thing cannot be denied: America is always on the move. She may be going to Hell, of course, but at least she isn’t standing still.
