If I have to move up in a building I choose the elevator over the escalator. Because one time I was riding the escalator and I tripped. I fell down the stairs for an hour and a half.

People who don't know me have opinions about me. That's the part that's very hurtful. Because how do you form an opinion about somebody if you've never met them or spent any time with them? So it's all based upon hearsay or things that they've read.

Our enemies can deal a blow to us any time they wish. They did not wait for permission to do this. They do not deal a blow with prior notice. They do not take action because they can't.

When I write stuff and I help cast it I turn away good people all the time. I may turn them down because this one's too tall and that one doesn't have a high enough voice or this one looks to old to match up with that one - there's a billion reasons not to hire somebody.

Because when you have millions of people with this kind of need for gratification and the culture is saying that it's possible for everyone to satisfy all of their needs and desires all of the time there are obviously going to be clashes - clashes of ego.

On average drug prisoners spend more time in federal prison than rapists who often get out on early release because of the overcrowding in prison caused by the Drug War.

There's much to be said for feeling numb. Time passes more quickly. You eat less and because numbness encourages laziness you do fewer things good or bad and the world's probably a better place for it.

They're trying to tell us that we're not right so we have to buy their products. The number one cause of mental illness is not knowing who you are and you can't know who you are if you don't spend time honoring yourself and living in the present.

I have made this letter longer than usual only because I have not had the time to make it shorter.

Everyone has a breaking point turning point stress point the game is permeated with it. The fans don't see it because we make it look so efficient. But internally for a guy to be successful you have to be like a clock spring wound but not loose at the same time.

Oh I think there are a lot of people who would be buying and selling online today that go up there and they get the information but then when it comes time to type in their credit card they think twice because they're not sure about how that might get out and what that might mean for them.

Sex: the thing that takes up the least amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble.

I keep working because I learn something new all the time.

It pays to know the enemy - not least because at some time you may have the opportunity to turn him into a friend.

I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present only about the past.

A wise man will make haste to forgive because he knows the true value of time and will not suffer it to pass away in unnecessary pain.

For a long time I tried to manage an honesty and openness about my personal life because I'm human and I'm normal - well semi-normal.

I think what drove me insane for a long time is feeling like I hadn't earned most of what I achieved because it came so fast.

Honesty is the cruelest game of all because not only can you hurt someone - and hurt them to the bone - you can feel self-righteous about it at the same time.

You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by but some of them are golden only because we let them slip by.

I'm so thankful for the Internet because actors and singers and performers now have a way to connect with their fans on a very personal level which I think is quite special.

Look if I ever stop being grateful for gigs I just need to stop. Because this business is... you know it's just so kind of job-to-job and the fact that I've continued working... I'm just incredibly thankful for it. And I never ever take it for granted.

I'm very thankful to players like John Stockton and Spud Webb. They've made it possible for someone like me to make it. I think teams are actually looking for one player under 6-feet now because they make things happen.

I think there is a difference between Slate and Salon. I think we both serve important functions on the Internet. As more and more Websites disappear I'm thankful Slate is still around because it makes things less lonely.
