“Take your work seriously, but don’t take yourself seriously”

If you want a guarantee, buy a toaster.

Improvise, Adapt and Overcome!

Self-respect leads to self-discipline.

Being comfortable is over-rated.

If you’re afraid to take risks in anything in life, it’s just boredom.

I’m not really conservative. I’m conservative on certain things. I believe in less government. I believe in fiscal responsibility and all those things that maybe Republicans used to believe in but don’t any more.

The interesting thing with child actors is that kids are natural actors. They’re wonderful actors, and most kids are acting all the time. They’re imagining they’re out in the yard playing. They’re imagining that things happened, and they can get very vivid.

I am sort of anti-hunting. I don’t put down what anyone wants to do, but it seems to me that killing a creature for fun is not a progressive idea.

Fate pulls you in different directions

The more time you have to think things through, the more you have to screw it up.

I know what you’re thinking ‘Did he fire six shots or only five?

I believe in my gut. Most people intellectualize their instincts away, but when you feel something, you have to go for it. A Fistful of Dollars was a great instinct for me, because here I was, a guy who’s doing Rawhide.

When you’re young, you’re very reckless. Then you get conservative. Then you get reckless again.

Nowadays, politically, everybody is promising everything. That’s the only way you can get elected.

Over the years, we have lost millions of decent paying jobs. These trade agreements have forced wages down in America so the average worker in America today is working longer hours for lower wages.

The task of pastoral ministry, above all else, is to arrange contingencies for an encounter with the divine.

Never quit a job as a matter of principle. You’ll always regret it.

I want to have a career that evolves as I go on.

Leadership has a harder job to do than just choose sides. It must bring sides together.

Being famous is just a job.

I didn’t want them ever to believe that life began when the man of the house arrived home. We didn’t wait for Dad. It was his job now to catch up with us.

True courage is being afraid, and going ahead and doing your job anyhow, that’s what courage is.
