If I didn't try to eavesdrop on every bus ride I take or look for the humor when I go for a walk I would just be depressed all the time.

And I would be the first to admit that probably in a lot of press conferences over the time that I have been in coaching indulging my own sense of humor at press conferences has not been greatly to my benefit.

Absurdity is what I like most in life and there's humor in struggling in ignorance. If you saw a man repeatedly running into a wall until he was a bloody pulp after a while it would make you laugh because it becomes absurd.

Any man who has had the job I've had and didn't have a sense of humor wouldn't still be here.

Humor must not professedly teach and it must not professedly preach but it must do both if it would live forever.

What a strange world this would be if we all had the same sense of humor.

If you could choose one characteristic that would get you through life choose a sense of humor.

If I had no sense of humor I would long ago have committed suicide.

The one thing I would hope would go on my tombstone is 'I made my parents proud.'

I hope that America as a whole and especially its architects will become more seriously involved in producing a new architectural culture that would bring the nation to the apex - where it has stood before - and lead the world.

I would not run for president. I really like what I'm doing now. People say I'm giving them energy and hope.

My great hope would be that Quebec would realize itself fully as a distinct part of Canada and stay Canadian bringing to Canada a part of its richness.

Even if I went off to some other career I hope I would still be doing Coen films.

We're in an emergency situation. The United States has become an absolutely terrifying country and I would hope that I could participate in some way in stopping the horror and the brutality.

Would it be possible that I should not in any degree succeed? I can scarcely think so. Ah delusive hope how much further wilt thou lead me?

I hope that I would be considered romantic. I don't know... one of my favorite movies is 'The Notebook' so I guess that would be considered romantic. But I think being romantic is more than the flowers and the gifts. It's about connecting with the person and being able to talk and share things with her.

When I was a kid my father didn't really have much hope for me. He thought I was a dreamer he didn't think I would amount to anything. My mother also.

Jake Roberts has a hard enough time being Jake Roberts. The truth is a brutal thing I just hope that the kids take the time to learn about each of the wrestlers in the game and if the kids can learn from our mistakes that would make me a happy man.

I would hope everyone would be a feminist.

It would be fun to do a reunion show. I hope we do it some day but it better be soon. We're all getting on.

I love the Beatles. I haven't named any kids after them but I still really love them. They were the first group that I was ever properly aware of. In my early teens I would sometimes stay in and listen to the radio all day in the hope that I would catch a song by them that I'd never heard before and be able to tape it on my radio-cassette player.

As a relatively young woman - I'm 33 - I hope to one day have a family and already have commitments. If and when I'm elected as an MP I would face a choice: take my family with me to London each week or be apart for four maybe five nights a week.

Jim Thorpe is someone I've always loved. He was an Olympic athlete you know and a football player from back in the day. I'd love to play him. And then there's a guy called Iceman who was a top hit man for the mob. I would love to play him. Actually it's sort of in the works so I hope it goes through.

I think almost every writer in the world would hope that books would be always talked about with respect and civility and depth and seriousness.
