Optimism is a revolutionary act

In the future, everybody is going to be a director. Somebody's got to live a real life so we have something to make a movie about.

Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.

Be positive, be positive. It's rough out there, but don't succumb. Don't succumb to the cynicism in the world.

I have heard your words and your disappointment, and I offer you a heart-felt apology to all who felt this was an odd or misguided casting choice.

The future isn't just something that happens. It's a brutal force, with a great sense of humor, that'll steamroll you if you're not watching.

I write with music. I write scenes in movies that hopefully can earn the use of some songs that are powerful to me.

Take it from your own life, write what you believe in.

People dance and we have a lot of music and... this might be the closet I get for a while.

The power of music is still with me, every day. It's one of the most inspiring things available in the world.

Great music is its own movie, already. And the challenge, as a music fan, is to keep the song as powerful as it wants to be, to not tamper with it and to somehow give it a home.

The Maker of the universe with stars a hundred thousand light-years apart was interested, furious, and very personal about it if a small boy played baseball on Sunday afternoon.

Try again

Home is where you feel loved, and homeland is where you love.

The truth is, the hypocrisy of humans is everywhere

The truth is, after all the declamations we have heard, that the Constitution is itself, in every rational sense, and to every useful purpose, A BILL OF RIGHTS.

Everything I think and everything I do is wrong.

that's what it was like waking up in the crypts. no-longer-dead. but without her. like burning alive.

If anybody comes up to you and says, My kid is a conservative - why is that? you say, Remember in the 60′s when we told you if you kept using drugs your kids would be mutants?

We . . . exercise on earth the power of our Lord and seek with all our might to bring those sheep of His flock who are outside into the fold committed to our charge . . .

I like fighting, but I hate hurting people.
