“Almost everybody that’s well-known gets tagged with a nickname.”

When I studied how to think in school, I was taught that the first rule of logic was that a thing cannot both be and not be at the same time and in the same respect.

So every day till the end of this campaign, Ill answer any question anyone has on government, but if you have a question on religion, please, go to church.

That last note, “in the same respect,” says a lot. As soon as you change the frame of reference, you’ve changed the truthiness of a once immutable fact.

My mother didn’t try to stab my father until I was six, but she must have shown signs of oddness before that.

Nothing important was ever accomplished without chutzpah. Columbus had chutzpah. The signers of the Declaration of Independence had chutzpah.

Laugh at yourself, but don’t ever aim your doubt at yourself. Be bold. When you embark for strange places, don’t leave any of yourself safely on shore. Have the nerve to go into unexplored territory.

In 2003, I almost died of an intestinal blockage when I was on a mountain in Chile, filming a segment for ‘Scientific American Frontiers.’

During the first day, curious at having outsiders among them, a long stream of inmates came over and talked with me.

I’m very interested in the improvisation because one of the things I do is to help train scientists to communicate in a better way and more personal way when they’re making a presentation, and I use improvisation to do that.

Remarkably, according to what they told me, nearly every inmate in the prison didn’t do it.

If I can’t get the girl, at least give me more money.

There’s plenty of money to be had. But you also lose your soul.

What then are doing if not creating a better place together? I think, for me the key has to be, what do I want to create? What is it I want to leave behind?

As an artist, as an actor, as a writer, you have to use what’s personal to you. You have to be personal about your work; otherwise, it doesn’t ring true.

It tends to break out at unexpected times like a rare virus and mostly people with compassion and understanding are susceptible to it.

I own almost 100 hotels in North America. Some of them are only in management, but some of them we have some small stakes in them.

For paranoia about ‘what other people think’ : remember that only some hate, a very few love – and almost all just don’t care.

I could work and get to know him and have him help me with the text, the script and become him. It’s almost like a painter having a model to become.

Almost every cartoonist, when he’s sitting down to draw a funny face.

You could almost call them marriages, even though I didn’t marry. But it was costly.

I grew up in the 1950s and ’60s, when it was almost a holiday when a black act would go on Ed Sullivan.

My early career was a real rush of movies and stardom – it was almost overwhelming.

Sometimes you are going to miss a person who was an almost to you. And feel sad because there is no name for that feeling. You just feel it in a way that makes you tired to your very bones.
