By going to the movies and because of other things too going to college making a wide variety of friends moving around traveling I became a lot more open-minded than the heritage I was born into might have suggested.

To me movies and music go hand in hand. When I'm writing a script one of the first things I do is find the music I'm going to play for the opening sequence.

It's the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do how to do it when to do it how to feel about it and how to look how you feel about it.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

I think public service is a calling and you do it as long as the things that brought you into the office can continue getting you up in the morning and as long as there's still work to get done.

Early One Morning takes time and I mean all things like that I felt were very important.

I'm still going to do television. I'm just not going to do morning television. I would like to do some things that satisfy interests private interests.

No matter how bad things are you can at least be happy that you woke up this morning.

I was the first in my peer group to get pregnant. All I craved was reassurance. I needed someone to tell me that all the seemingly random symptoms I had - weird things such as excess saliva - were normal. And I was worried because I wasn't getting any morning sickness.

I looked at films as a career from necessity but all I have really wanted is my home and children. The two things just do not work out together when one has to leave home at 5.30 am in the morning to go to the studio.

I didn't wake up one morning and not be in the Replacements. We're all that forever and I've just grown older. I mean I haven't lost anything. I've gained a few things.

All three networks have always had a morning show but now cable of course is taking some of that audience away and a variety of other things probably the Internet as well.

But of course when people watch morning television Terry it's a very different animal. You know they're running around they're getting their kids ready for school they're probably doing eight million things they're brushing their teeth.

Four hours of prosthetics every morning the jowls and the nose and it was very hot so they're having to attend to it all day and you're still petrified of so many things such as can I speak properly? Hitchcock never quite lost those East End vowels even though he had the softened California consonants.

It's very important to write things down instantly or you can lose the way you were thinking out a line. I have a rule that if I wake up at 3 in the morning and think of something I write it down. I can't wait until morning - it'll be gone.

Nobody has time to keep trying on a load of things in the morning like a teenager.

There's some things you just have to live with. Like twelve cars camping outside your house and when you wake up in the morning they're going to follow you wherever you go. It helps that I live in Valencia. It eliminates some. But they're still here.

I wake up every morning in a cold sweat regardless of how well things went the day before. And put that I said that in a somewhat but not completely tongue-in-cheek way.

Whereas I used to get depressed or neurotic or dwell on things I see my son's bright eyes and smile in the morning and suddenly I don't feel like I'm depressed anymore. There's nothing to be depressed about when you've got that.

If you're changing the world you're working on important things. You're excited to get up in the morning.

Most songs have meager beginnings. You wake up in the morning you throw on your suspenders and you subvocalize and just think. They seem to form like calcium. I can't think of a story right off the bat that was that interesting. I write things on the back of my hand usually and sing into a tape recorder.

My personality when tasked with creating meals goes something like this: Is there a way we can make this more difficult? Because let's do that. I don't mean to complicate things. It's just - why buy pre-packaged potato salad when you can spend your morning boiling potatoes and flipping out because there's no dill in the house?

I wake up at 5:30 6 in the morning but don't head into the office right away. I like to hang out with my wife talk about things get some coffee you know.

Do I get up every morning and ask: am I doing the things that I believe in and am I doing them for the best possible motives? Yes. Unambiguously yes.
