The Carter Center has the only existing international taskforce on disease eradication. Which means a total elimination of a disease on the face of the Earth. In the history of the world there's only been one disease eradicated: smallpox. The second disease I think is gonna be guinea worm.

I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president - with the possible exceptions of Johnson FDR and Lincoln - just in terms of what we've gotten done in modern history. But you know but when it comes to the economy we've got a lot more work to do. And we're gonna keep on at it.

I'm passionate about everything like my family and friends. Anybody I am talkin' to is gonna be bona fide real. There is no substitution for happiness. Period.

You know be able to do something great in your life you're gonna have to realize your failures. You're gonna have to embrace them and figure out how to overcome it.

I was walking along and this chair came flying past me and another and another and I thought man is this gonna be a good night.

On a day when you're tired it's important to just say good morning to everyone so they're kind of aware that it's gonna be a good day. Jamie Lee Curtis told me that.

God gives me the children's ministry heart and patience. This is what He wants. It's awesome. I don't know where He's gonna take it - but God is building this thing.

When I played God Bless The Queen I was wondering if they was gonna dig us then quite naturally I'd go on and try to get it together.

The reason why you know more funny dudes than funny chicks is that dudes are funnier than chicks. If my daughter has a mediocre sense of humor I'm just gonna tell her 'Be a staff writer for a sitcom. Because they'll have to hire you they can't really fire you and you don't have to produce that much. It'll be awesome.'

It's funny. You succeed but now where are you gonna go from there? I've got to keep proving that I can laugh or cry more real each time.

'Shkoff' is to eat. 'Shkiaff' is to slap. Like 'Gettouttahere I'm gonna give you a couple of shkiaffs ' or 'Forget presentation just shkiaff the food onto the plate.'

The thing with food is that you can give 20 people the same recipe and the same ingredients and somebody's going to make it better than somebody else and that's the creativity of it. It's like music. You could have a bunch of people playing the same piece and somebody's gonna play it better.

I'm always trying to find brain food and indulge in knowledge that's gonna be useful.

I've often said that the most important thing you can give your children is wings. Because you're not gonna always be able to bring food to the nest. You're... sometimes... they're gonna have to be able to fly by themselves.

I'll think If this is his first punch how are the others gonna feel? That's the only fear I have for myself.

My fear is that as soon as I get married and have kids that I'll kind of do what a lot of people do and suddenly start making 'Now I'm gonna make films for kids.' I really hope I don't do that.

I always have the fear that if I don't commit 100 percent to my work then it's gonna suffer.

We played in Texas about a year ago at Emo's the famous country and western club in Austin. And I figured well if I'm finally gonna die onstage that's where it's going to be!

It's been real weird. It wasn't how I expected my life to turn out. Especially mainly pertaining to the show. It never crossed my mind that one day I'm gonna be big and famous and have my own TV show you know?

As a famous person you think how you're gonna end it get away and have a normal life.

Pray for intestinal fortitude work hard and keep the faith. Oh and pray for good luck you're gonna need it.

Are you gonna fuel your faith or fuel your fear? I'm all about fueling my faith especially when it's hard to do so.

I've criticized President Bush for his failure to use his veto pen. There's plenty of blame to go around. The question is how to solve problems. It's not bailouts. What made America great? Free markets free enterprise manufacturing job creation. That's how we're gonna do it not by enlarging government.

Beside every great success are the seeds of enormous failure. In every failure there's the opportunity seeds of great success. They're not miles apart. So if they're that close together and if you're really working you're always gonna have that likelihood that something's not going to work.
