Just stop for a minute and you'll realize you're happy just being. I think it's the pursuit that screws up happiness. If we drop the pursuit it's right here.

The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions - the little soon forgotten charities of a kiss or a smile a kind look or heartfelt compliment.

Leisure and curiosity might soon make great advances in useful knowledge were they not diverted by minute emulation and laborious trifles.

As a real person he wouldn't last a minute would he? But drama is about imperfection. And we've moved away from the aspirational hero. We got tired of it it was dull. If I was House's friend I would hate it. How he so resolutely refuses to be happy or take the kind-hearted road. But we don't always like morally good people do we?

I must say I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on I go to the library and read a good book.

Start living now. Stop saving the good china for that special occasion. Stop withholding your love until that special person materializes. Every day you are alive is a special occasion. Every minute every breath is a gift from God.

For every minute the future is becoming the past.

I enjoy every minute because there are going to be a lot of moments in your future that you're going to wish you held onto longer.

It is difficult to live in the present ridiculous to live in the future and impossible to live in the past. Nothing is as far away as one minute ago.

The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour whatever he does whoever he is.

People are funny and in the most tragic situations when comedy erupts from nowhere it can turn on its head within the space of a second or a minute. You're laughing one minute and you're crying the next and that's just life for me and that is what people are like.

No writing musicals is the hardest thing in the world. And it was really funny because I remember when the South Park movie came out there were some critics that said 'Well it's obvious that in order to get it to be 90 minutes they filled some time with music.'

It's funny I do try to maintain health. I started doing Bikram yoga which is that hothouse yoga the 105 degrees yoga for 90 minutes. It's great you purge out all the sweat and you're drinking water.

It all started when my dog began getting free roll over minutes.

A committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours.

From the minute I wake up until I go to bed I think about food.

When I do a 30-minute meal for instance on Food Network that's my food you see at the end of the show and it's not perfect. And if sometimes things break or drop or the pasta hits the wall when I'm draining it they never stop tape. They just kind of let me go with it.

15 minutes a day! Give me just this and I'll prove I can make you a new man.

I got very famous for a minute and then it just all went away you know? And for the last 20 years - you've got to pick yourself up and dust yourself off and then go on your merry way and start again in a sense and that's what I've been doing.

I had a very erratic career. I got very famous for a minute and then it just all went away you know?

But things move in circles: one minute it's the models who are famous then it's the actresses then it's the designers.

There are people who appear in the magazines and I don't know who they are. I've never seen anything they've done and their careers are over already. They're famous for maybe 10 minutes. Real careers I think take a long time to unfold.

In the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.

I'm bored with that line. I never use it anymore. My new line is 'In 15 minutes everybody will be famous.'
