I find that it isn't wise to attempt to judge people on their public persona and even on the music they make. Because I've met so many people whose music I cannot stand and they're very nice. At the same time I've met people whose music I've loved and they're not the person you've invested all this emotion in.
He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake since for him the spinal cord would suffice.
Once you make a movie like 'Superbad ' when it's popular and you're the lead you get offered all kinds of things and there's a temptation to make bad movies either for the money or to maintain your relevance in pop culture.
I don't watch the movies I make so I haven't seen 'Footloose' since it came out. You see this young hungry actor it's pretty fun. I was the only one they screen tested. It was an attempt by the director and producer to talk the head of the studio into hiring me because they didn't want me.
The one benefit of having done all kinds of movies as an actor is you learn the pros and cons of being tempted to do a really big movie because it costs a lot of money.
Hezbollah's contempt for human suffering is total as it showed once again this morning when its rockets murdered two Israeli Arab children in Nazareth.
My salary situation at 'Morning Joe' wasn't right. I made five attempts to fix it then realized I'd made the same mistake every time: I apologised for asking.
Each morning sees some task begun each evening sees it close Something attempted something done has earned a night's repose.
Often people attempt to live their lives backwards they try to have more things or more money in order to do more of what they want so they will be happier.
I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled and thanks to money and fame I didn't have to go far to find them.
One of the evils of money is that it tempts us to look at it rather than at the things that it buys.
I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for five years.
All men are liable to error and most men are in many points by passion or interest under temptation to it.
Many men are contemptuous of riches few can give them away.
When I look upon seamen men of science and philosophers man is the wisest of all beings when I look upon priests and prophets nothing is as contemptible as man.
When men attempt bold gestures generally it's considered romantic. When women do it it's often considered desperate or psycho.
All men are tempted. There is no man that lives that can't be broken down provided it is the right temptation put in the right spot.
The bill would ban human cloning and any attempts at human cloning for both reproductive purposes and medical research. Also forbidden is the importing of cloned embryos or products made from them.
Today it is research with human embryonic stem cells and attempts to prepare cloned stem cells for research and medical therapies that are being disavowed as being ethically unacceptable.
For after my marriage I had made various attempts to write fiction. They were clearly failures.
There are powerful emotions that bring two people together in wonderful harmony in a marriage. Satan knows this and would tempt you to try these emotions outside of marriage. Do not stir emotions meant to be used only in marriage.
Marriage is popular because it combines the maximum of temptation with the maximum of opportunity.
Marriage is an attempt to solve problems together which you didn't even have when you were on your own.
Love is an attempt at penetrating another being but it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.
There are no easy answers' but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right.
