People are so funny. There's no winning with commenters or anonymous people. They'd be rude that I was overweight, and now they're rude that I'm healthy.

It's always better to shock people and change people's expectations than to give them exactly what they think you can do.

Germany's amongst my top three places in the world I'd like to live.

I want to meet the man who saw a turtle and said, "People will LOVE the ninja version of that."

I assume everything I do in life is gonna be a failure, and then if it turns up roses, then I'm psyched.

If you're trying to make someone happy, you gotta try and make them happy.

The great thing about 'Allen Gregory' is that we try to make it really questionable that the things he says have happened, have really happened. We like that ambiguity.

I don't like to say mean things about people's hard work.

I mean, I find things that happened in real life to be the funniest - things that you observe instead of crazy abstract things, you know.

I do not think we were afraid of death

But, I get this feeling that if I stay close to you, I'll find what I'm looking for

I'm a born-again atheist.

It is a perfect deception when you can lie to yourself and believe it. You cannot love two people the same. One will always fall by the shadows…even if that one is you.

It was there, in particular, that I confirmed the truth that love, which we cry up as the source of our pleasures, is nothing more than an excuse for them.

Making the simple complicated is commonplace making the complicated simple awesomely simple that's creativity.

Henry Ford was right. A prosperous economy requires that workers be able to buy the products that they produce. This is as true in a global economy as a national one.

Women politicians take their job seriously and accomplish their duties diligently and sensitively. Only they can understand the problems of women and act as a sounding board for their concerns.

I figure if kids see a movie about 12-year-olds chopping each other up, they can probably see a movie where everyone keeps their clothes on and doesn't use foul language.

The kind of person other people perceive you to be controls their responses to you.
