Failure doesn't kill you... it increases your desire to make something happen.

If you get into a Broadway show and it doesn't work you're a failure. And if it does work you may be stuck for who knows how long. It just doesn't sound great to me!

Remember the two benefits of failure. First if you do fail you learn what doesn't work and second the failure gives you the opportunity to try a new approach.

My kids will grow up in a house knowing that it's perfectly normal for two men to be in love it's perfectly normal for two women to be in love. My kids will grow up knowing it's all about love. It doesn't matter who you're with and everyone should have that experience.

Doesn't all experience crumble in the end to mere literary material?

What is truth? Truth doesn't really exist. Who is going to judge whether my experience of an incident is more valid than yours? No one can be trusted to be the judge of that.

Everybody's got one killer story. It doesn't take talent to tell that story it just takes experience.

I have relationships with people I'm working with based on our combined interest. It doesn't make the relationship any less sincere but it does give it a focus that may not last beyond the experience.

Something happens to us all when we experience something as a unit that doesn't occur when we're on our couches or holding our little portable DVD players.

Educational equality doesn't guarantee equality on the labor market. Even the most developed countries are not gender-equal. There are still glass ceilings and 'leaky pipelines' that prevent women from getting ahead in the workplace.

The equality that we are all entitled to as citizens of this democracy can't be avoided by some religious dogma of a President who's is supposed to believe in the notion of separation of church and state. And he frankly doesn't.

I assume we will have figured out a way to efficiently utilize solar energy and tied that to an efficient way to use nuclear energy in such a way that it doesn't pose a serious environmental issue.

Environmental protection doesn't happen in a vacuum. You can't separate the impact on the environment from the impact on our families and communities.

Americans don't pay much attention to environmental issues because they aren't sexy. I mean cleaning up coal plants and reining in outlaw frackers is hugely important work but it doesn't get anybody's pulse racing.

My idea of the ideal sex education site doesn't exist.

The dream doesn't lie in victimization or blame it lies in hard work determination and a good education.

We have over 500 000 illegal immigrants living in Arizona. And we simply cannot sustain it. It costs us a tremendous amount of money of course in health care in education and then on top of it all in incarceration. And the federal government doesn't reimburse us on any of these things.

America's growth historically has been fueled mostly by investment education productivity innovation and immigration. The one thing that doesn't seem to have anything to do with America's growth rate is a brutal work schedule.

Our solution on 'The Simpsons' is to do jokes that people who have an education or some frame of reference can get. And for the ones who don't it doesn't matter because we have Homer banging his head and saying 'D'oh!'

Both class and race survive education and neither should. What is education then? If it doesn't help a human being to recognize that humanity is humanity what is it for? So you can make a bigger salary than other people?

An inventor is simply a fellow who doesn't take his education too seriously.

Anyone who tries to make a distinction between education and entertainment doesn't know the first thing about either.

If someone is going down the wrong road he doesn't need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around.

There's a logic to dreams that doesn't necessarily follow linear narrative. You don't know why things happen it's your subconscious pushing you to give you information.
