“The big things I’ve had are things I bought myself.”

When you go in and do a cool, small character, it feels less like work and more like fun.

I like to challenge myself and give myself a timeline. It pushes me to be more creative and actually do these things, not just dream about them.

Hearing the record and seeing the response is affirming that it was the right time and right choice.

I didn’t do the typical things that young kids do.

I went from the projects to a real house. It was a big difference.

Dom DeLuise was a big man in every way. He was big in size and created big laughter and joy.

The second Saturday in September, we’re going to have conference day. Everybody from the SEC plays a Big 12 team.

I try to block out everything that distracts me. Even a big play, I blank it out.

If what you did yesterday seems big, you haven’t done anything today.

I had almost three acres of land in Beverly Hills. And I had a big atrium of chickens because I love that feeling of being in the country and living from the soil.

People like me sound like a lot of big cannons.

Philosophy is common sense with big words.
