I'm not a very serious person. You know how they say that clowns are very funny in public and are really sad at home? I'm really kind of stupid at home and more serious in public.

Most of the gaffes I've made have not been funny - they've been stupid.

I got a lot of support from my parents. That's the one thing I always appreciated. They didn't tell me I was being stupid they told me I was being funny.

Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid.

A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

I really care about this stuff I care about movies and you just have to be strong and don't be stupid freedom of choice is a big responsibility and I'm lucky enough not to have to just take any movie to pay the rent so there's no need to be greedy.

We're giving our freedoms away. The American experiment was about freedom. Freedom to be stupid freedom to fail freedom to succeed.

The vast amount of waste and sheer stupidity in government - from the Pentagon to the Food and Drug Administration - could fill committee agendas for years.

Fear is stupid. So are regrets.

Of course there have been times I regretted being the kid in 'E.T.' My world went completely crazy. I was that stupid kind of famous where you can't go anywhere.

I became famous so quickly and so young - it was daunting. I was immature and I used to say some really stupid things in interviews. I never smiled on stage so I looked really serious but it was because I hated my teeth and was incredibly nervous.

Short of baseball and my family it was gaming. And gaming is a $20-million to $200-million multi-year effort. It's an insane stupid and utterly irresponsible act. But I did it.

I went through a period of great rebellion within my family when I was about 9 or 10. I was mad I had no focus had no real interest in anything and so I started to do things that were just rebellious and stupid.

Such a faith would be fatal to my reason to my liberty and even to the success of my undertakings it would immediately transform me into a stupid slave an instrument of the will and interests of others.

Stupidity outrage vanity cruelty iniquity bad faith falsehood - we fail to see the whole array when it is facing in the same direction as we.

I failed first grade which is my biggest problem. You always feel like a failure like you're stupid.

I like to think of my behavior in the sixties as a 'learning experience.' Then again I like to think of anything stupid I've done as a 'learning experience.' It makes me feel less stupid.

The wise are instructed by reason average minds by experience the stupid by necessity and the brute by instinct.

I stupidly ignored education completely. I found it dull and I preferred to cause chaos and have fun. I regret this massively now.

Education makes us more stupid than the brutes. A thousand voices call to us on every hand but our ears are stopped with wisdom.

Strange as it may seem no amount of learning can cure stupidity and formal education positively fortifies it.

The education that prepared me was my general education classes which I tried to avoid when I was a stupid undergraduate but which gave me the foundation of general knowledge that makes a career as a writer possible.

How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it.
