I love JFK. My mother had been a worker on his campaign and adored him.

With comedy, you really want to work things out beforehand.

I always wanted to be an actor. I was one of those lucky kids - or cursed kids - who always knew what he wanted to do.

As an actor and a director, I always let my actors go... assuming they have good ideas.

I understood the workmanlike quality of a good stand-up. They all have this. There's a technique for everything you do. But boy, it's tough, 'cause there ain't anybody else out there but you.

I'd come up with one leg in theater, but never my first leg. I loved the camera too much.

Life has its ups and downs, so to expect otherwise is setting yourself up for disappointment.

I kept thinking that with all those first jobs, "This is the beginning of something!" And then nothing would happen. That's the real Hollywood.

As a director, I know everybody's job, and I know how to do it. I can smell bullshit when someone's telling me it can't be done, because I've seen it done a hundred thousand times.

I love horror films. And I like chick flicks! I like to approach the different genres of moviemaking and explore them. And you get a little better the more you do them.

Tucker's Witch was the first television I'd done in a while. It was just before Moonlighting, and just before you could get a little more outrageous on TV. We had a great premise.

Life may try to knock you down but be persistent with your passions - cultivate grit, resilience, tenacity and endurance success will come.

Books are like ice cream there is a flavor for everyone!

If life is a poem, be the poet. If life is a story, be the author. If life is an adventure, be the hero. To live any other way is a waste of this experience we call life.

It is not the role of government to use the taxation and welfare system as a tool to level the playing field.

Wherever we are we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other and the wonder of our breathing.

Most of us are not real eager to grow, myself included. We try to be happy by staying in the status quo. But if we're not willing to be honest with ourselves about what we feel, we don't evolve.

Killing one man is murder. Killing millions is a statistic

Some people turn from God because they cannot understand how a good God can permit evil in the world.

Blessed is the person who sees the need, recognizes the responsibility, and actively becomes the answer.

Thanks, sir; all the rest is mute.
