The worst disease which can afflict executives in their work is not as popularly supposed alcoholism it's egotism.

You know when you don't go on TV and talk about how many women you sleep with some people in Hollywood that are supposedly 'in the know ' start whispering that you're gay. If I were gay I wouldn't be ashamed to admit it but I'm not.

People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.

I never realized until lately that women were supposed to be the inferior sex.

Our experience is composed rather of illusions that of wisdom acquired.

I always prayed that God would give me the wisdom and the vision to do the things on this earth that I was supposed to do to express His life and love and His will.

When written in Chinese the word 'crisis' is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity.

How do you tell troops who volunteered to fight for our freedoms that the country they fought for won't take care of them when they come back? In the time of war our troops and their families are supposed to be our number one priority.

The reason that war is such a fascinating subject for writers is because it's a revealer. Put a bunch of people in an adrenaline-fuelled life-or-death situation and their fundamental behaviours are exposed the scrim is taken away and the motivations behind each personality come out to play.

I don't oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war.

The truth is that I oppose the Iraq war just as I opposed the Vietnam War because these two conflicts have weakened the U.S. and diminished our standing in the world and our national security.

One is a child when one has a child. No one says 'You will never be the same again.' Which is the truth! And we're all supposed to be happy all the time. What is that about?

Nine times out of ten in the arts as in life there is actually no truth to be discovered there is only error to be exposed.

All truth passes through three stages. First it is ridiculed. Second it is violently opposed. Third it is accepted as being self-evident.

When you explain to people what you're trying to do as opposed to just making demands or delegating tasks you can build instant trust even if it's just for that short time you're on the phone.

The chief internal enemies of any state are those public officials who betray the trust imposed upon them by the people.

Sure we're in limos. We're stars. How else is a star supposed to travel?

I could have probably raised them in L.A. and they would have been great and had so many things at their fingertips and been exposed to so many things.

Try not to have a good time... this is supposed to be educational.
