if you don't write it down, then it never happened

There are people in government who don't want other people to know what they know. It's just another example of elitism. And I spit on elitism. Show me an elitist, and I'll show you a loser.

Helicopters don't fly, they vibrate so badly the ground rejects them.

The good old days are now.

Fix your eyes forward on what you can do, not back on what you cannot change.

The control of information is something the elite always does, particularly in a despotic form of government. Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people.

The tactics...no, amateurs discuss tactics,.... Professional soldiers study logistics.

What the government is good at is collecting taxes, taking away your freedoms and killing people. It's not good at much else.

Man is a creature of hope and invention, both of which belie the idea that things cannot be changed.

The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.

Whenever somebody comes up with a good idea, there's somebody else who has never had a good idea in his life who stands up and says, "Oh, you can't do that..."

less small talk and more real talk.

You’re not born with confidence

Movie stars and singers never fully pass away because their images are replayed on film and recordings, over and over.

I feel like if a film is well-written, then the character's arc is complete. There really is very little room to expand on that afterwards.

When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending the best.

When I was on Broadway, my most recent Broadway show was 'Spring Awakening,' and every night I did a topless scene.

Building businesses takes tremendous stamina, and success isn't achieved without it.

Success is a nice thing because it always means you've taken a step forward and it gives you a sense of pride, which in turn gives you confidence and experience-a positive circle, so to speak.

Dismiss whatever insults your soul.
