TV is easier: it's all planned out for you and the audience is there to see a show and they are all pumped up but when you are in a comedy club you have to be really funny to win them over.

I think 'Dilbert' will remain popular as long as employees are frustrated and they fear the consequences of complaining too loudly. 'Dilbert' is the designated voice of discontent for the workplace. I never planned it that way. It just happened.

Faith that it's not always in your hands or things don't always go the way you planned but you have to have faith that there is a plan for you and you must follow your heart and believe in yourself no matter what.

Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success.

I decided to study special education and fell in love with working with individuals with autism. That's what I planned to do with my life.

If you don't design your own life plan chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

And yet I suppose you mourn the loss or the death of what you thought your life was even if you find your life is better after. You mourn the future that you thought you'd planned.

Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless.

Nearly all the best things that came to me in life have been unexpected unplanned by me.

One of the main reasons I am so drawn to Hitchcock is that he planned his shots way in advance on story-boards which he designed like classic paintings (he was an art connoisseur). It's why he found shooting on set boring - because he had already composed the film in his head.

Once I planned to write a book of poems entirely about the things in my pocket. But I found it would be too long and the age of the great epics is past.
