Learning operatic roles is ongoing and I find that I can learn on the train or subway during a manicure getting my hair done and even while driving if I only look at the score at red lights.

Democratic politicians have disliked things I've written Republican politicians... if they all love you you might as well be driving a Good Humor truck.

It is quite true as some poets said that the God who created man must have had a sinister sense of humor creating him a reasonable being yet forcing him to take this ridiculous posture and driving him with blind craving for this ridiculous performance.

When I came home for the summer after my first year of college I told my mother that my best friend and I were driving to California. She laughed out loud - 2 000 miles in a what? Well my best friend had an old Chevy. What could go wrong?

Baseball is like driving it's the one who gets home safely that counts.

Most of American life consists of driving somewhere and then returning home wondering why the hell you went.

There are times when I'm driving home after a day's shooting thinking to myself That scene would've been so much better if I had written it out.

My biggest nightmare is I'm driving home and get sick and go to hospital. I say: 'Please help me.' And the people say: 'Hey you look like...' And I'm dying while they're wondering whether I'm Barbra Streisand.

Producing is so exciting because you can enable things to happen whether it's like discovering a filmmaker who you're taking a chance on protecting a battle and driving home at the end of the day just going 'I'm so glad I stayed late at work and fought hard for that. Had my passion. Won that battle.'

If your access to health care involves your leaving work and driving somewhere and parking and waiting for a long time that's not going to promote healthiness.

Our health care system is the finest in the world but we still have too many uninsured Americans too high prices for prescription drugs and too many frivolous lawsuits driving our physicians out of state or out of business.

I'm still driving along on the pop freeway of life. Thinking even further into the future I definitely want to make an acoustic record. I want to try lots of different things.

I don't have any expectations as an actor and being rich and famous is not my driving force.

I don't like being famous - it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.

Who elected Larry King America's grief counselor? We the viewing public did by driving up his ratings whenever somebody famous passes.

I think the driving thing was curiosity about the universe. That fascinated me. I didn't think anything about being famous or anything like that I was just interested in the concepts involved.

By measuring the proportion of children living with the same parents from birth and whether their parents report a good quality relationship we are driving home the message that social programmes should promote family stability and avert breakdown.

My faith has been the driving thing of my life. I think it is important that people who are perceived as liberals not be afraid of talking about moral and community values.

Successful entrepreneurs find the balance between listening to their inner voice and staying persistent in driving for success - because sometimes success is waiting right across from the transitional bump that's disguised as failure.

There are a lot of impractical things about owning a Porsche. But they're all offset by the driving experience. It really is unique. Lamborghinis and Ferraris come close. And they are more powerful but they don't handle like a Porsche.

I've always been attracted to cars and driving is a completely measurable experience: if you qualify last on the grid you're the slowest and if you qualify first on the grid you're the fastest. So no one can say you're slow if you're fast and no one can say you're fast if you're slow.

Our mother was a very religious and observant Jew our father less so. She was kind of driving the religious education so for us it was more a burden and an obligation when we were kids at that age.

My father was against the death penalty and that was hard in the Son of Sam summer when fear was driving the desire for the death penalty.

When I was on Broadway when I was little I remember always driving through Times Square with my dad to the theater. Now when I go back you can't even drive on Broadway in the 40s. New Times Square is too touristy to me.
