I can travel anywhere in the world and I can pretty much fit in.

At American Airlines we have built a business around the love of travel that has lasted three quarters of a century. And I'm pretty sure we're just getting started.

Yeah. I've been pretty fortunate to travel I guess all around the place.

The first year or so on The Daily Show is pretty intense in terms of travel. You're going to the worst places in the country talking to the craziest people in the world.

I get pretty much all the exercise I need walking down airport concourses carrying bags.

It is easier to be a lover than a husband for the simple reason that it is more difficult to be witty every day than to say pretty things from time to time.

I'm pretty sure this is it for the teen movie thing. It's so frustrating to read when you get to page 20 and you're like Oy! It's the same thing again!

Before my teen years I was losing my hearing pretty quickly and I was getting very very angry. I was beginning to become an angry person because of that.

Time scoots along pretty fast when you grow up.

I mean I'm pretty good in real life but sometimes people seem surprised that I'm like a normal teenager and wear black nail polish and I'm just a little bit more edgy than the person I play on television.

I'm the one who made many of the bold comments that we'd seen the technologies from AMD as pretty good. Their technology in many areas was leading. But those are transient.

Pretty soon we'll have robots in our society you're going to have a lot of automated processes that used to be done by people - this is happening. Society and technology is changing so fast and the impact of the change on society and technology is global not local.

It would appear that we have reached the limits of what it is possible to achieve with computer technology although one should be careful with such statements as they tend to sound pretty silly in 5 years.

Technology may create a condition but the questions are what do we do about ourselves. We better understand ourselves pretty clearly and we better find ways to like ourselves.

We're understanding what Obama is. He is the great teacher. He is this guy that stands above everybody. There's some condescension in it but he stands above everybody and says 'Now listen. You people have to stop blaming each other unreasonably. You have to get along here and I am going to show you the way.' It is a pretty brave role in many ways.

The Sunday School teacher talked too much in the way our grade school teacher used to when she told us about George Washington. Pleasant pretty stories but not true.

For me I don't feel it is a success in the career to be the pretty woman career success comes from being characters who tell us something about the truth.

Which is - you know like check it out I'm pretty young I'm only about 40 years old. I still have maybe another four decades of work left in me. And it's exceedingly likely that anything I write from this point forward is going to be judged by the world as the work that came after the freakish success of my last book right?

People think your success is just a matter of having a pretty face. But it's easy to be chewed up and spat out. You've got to stay ahead of the game to be able to stay in it.

For someone who's had the level of success I've had there's been very little critical review of my work which is pretty fascinating.

I'm an eternal realist and the success rate for being an actor is pretty low.

I'm probably the least flexible athlete you'll find. When it comes to yoga I can't get in the positions and I can't hold them. You have to be pretty flexible to do it. Once you get certain positions you have to have the core strength to hold those positions. It's a pretty good workout.

I have a pretty expanded view of what art is. I include pop music and even some sports.

I'm a huge fan of Chicago sports and Chicago food and I love going home and my family is still there. I guess it's pretty easy to have a normal life in Chicago.
