The Nautilus was piercing the water with its sharp spur after having accomplished nearly ten thousand leagues in three months and a half a distance greater than the great circle of the earth. Where were we going now and what was reserved for the future?

If you want a future of shared prosperity where the middle class is growing and poverty is declining where the American Dream is alive and well and where the United States remains the leading force for peace and prosperity in a highly competitive world you should vote for Barack Obama.

I'm convinced there's a small room in the attic of the Foreign Office where future diplomats are taught to stammer.

I would like to see a future where artists think that they have a right to contemplate things like global warming.

I'm substantially concerned about the policy directions of the space agency. We have a situation in the U.S. where the White House and Congress are at odds over what the future direction should be. They're sort of playing a game and NASA is the shuttlecock that they're hitting back and forth.

You never know what the future holds or where my life will take me.

Most people should be talking about how Floyd Mayweather is a great undefeated future Hall of Famer that's his own promoter and that works extremely hard to get to where he's at. Instead all you hear is hate and jealous remarks from critics who criticize me and you know most of the time the people that criticize me can't do what I can do.

Most people are prisoners thinking only about the future or living in the past. They are not in the present and the present is where everything begins.

Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead that is where your future lies.

Every one rushes elsewhere and into the future because no one wants to face one's own inner self.

Look to the future because that is where you'll spend the rest of your life.

Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it to accept it no matter where it leads him.

I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.

The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present but it is a source of inspiration of vitality and hope where others have resigned it enables a man to hold his head high to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.

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.

My parents are both very funny but they're also relatively soft-spoken normal human beings while I'm just a lunatic. I don't know where this loud ballsy hammy ridiculousness came from. I'm just glad I followed my goals and my parents did too. It's not like we even had a plan when I dragged my mom to Los Angeles.

Do you want me to apologize after every joke? If it doesn't offend somebody it's probably not a joke. It's probably an observation that's not funny. It's gotta offend somebody somewhere.

This is funny because I just had a job over the summer for VH1 a project I did called Strange Frequency where I got to play a Goth rock band singer.

Because death and illness are the most horrible things in life of course that's where the most absurdly funny things are going to happen.

If you take a bunch of superstars and put them in a room where they don't have their assistants and entourage it's funny to see what happens.

I don't think know if anything's going to translate anywhere. You're making a movie you hope it's going to be funny you can't think about how it's going to go over.

I'm always in situations where you can't be funny and yet I want to do it anyway.

The funny thing is the songs that people think are about me probably aren't. And the songs that are probably are the ones they wouldn't think... so that's where it kind of is funny.

One can always come up with funny lists and jokes. You know what? I take it back. Not everyone can always come up with funny lists and some jokes. I'm very lucky to have a gift where I can do that pretty ably.
