I recently heard young people talking about collective bargaining agreements - I hadn't heard young people use that phrase in forever!

A movement that seeks to advance only its own members is going to accomplish little

Marches work, rallies work, civil disobedience works, direct action works, voting works, writing letters works, speaking to churches and schools works, rioting works.

I don't even want to go to the Pride marches anymore. The politics have been removed almost entirely. They're just huge corporate showcases.

I believe we are entering into a period of political chaos. Out of that chaos is the potential for great evil, but there is also the possibility of great good.

This is a terrible time to be young, I think. It's really hard.

If I had to say what my one greatest achievement is, it's that I lasted, and I'm still happy. I hope that comes through.

People who say that violence doesn't accomplish anything have not read history. I don't celebrate that reality, but there you have it.

A whole lot of the way identity politics has gone seems to me to deny empathy.

Any social movement that seeks to benefit only its own members I think is a shallow movement and probably doomed to failure.

Film really is a collaborative art.

Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.

Be real to others. You can be fake only to yourself.

They that go down to the sea in ships that do business in great waters these see the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep.

As a comic, you try something and if it works you go with it and grind it to death.

I think there are certain actors that have that kind of energy about them, that taking over a room energy.

Primates are the only animals on the face of the earth that can taste sweet and see color. We were designed by nature to see, grasp, eat, and enjoy the flavor of colorful, sweet fruits.

Sending us Ebola bombs in the form of sweaty Glaswegians just isn't cricket.

In the first place, I'm pretty thorough about whom I choose. I instinctively look for the kind of actor who is going to be trusting. There are all kinds of insecure people out there called actors.

We don't have to apologize for American exceptionalism or western values.

Tabloids are going to focus on my shoes and not my music; that's just what they do.
