It's your outlook on life that counts. If you take yourself lightly and don't take yourself too seriously pretty soon you can find the humor in our everyday lives. And sometimes it can be a lifesaver.

We use the word 'hope' perhaps more often than any other word in the vocabulary: 'I hope it's a nice day.' 'Hopefully you're doing well.' 'So how are things going along? Pretty good. Going to be good tomorrow? Hope so.'

This AIDS stuff is pretty scary. I hope I don't get it.

Oh man. If I had magic powers... I would hope that I would use them for good. I think I would. But I would do something pretty trivial like making traffic disappear.

I do believe that most men live lives of quiet desperation. For despair optimism is the only practical solution. Hope is practical. Because eliminate that and it's pretty scary. Hope at least gives you the option of living.

To be honest I find going out pretty scary and intimidating. Got all those people checking you out with only one purpose: hooking up. I'm quite the dork I'd rather sit home and play Scrabble. But that doesn't get you a girl does it?

When I was at college I worked in a department store called Brit Home Stores which is a pretty lackluster department store selling clothes for middle-aged women. My job was to walk the floor and find anything that was damaged take it to the store room and log it.

I can write pretty much anywhere if you give me time and some quiet. The home is not usually the best place because I have four children. It's usually pandemonium around here!

In school I was pretty quiet. Kinda shy until my junior year. But at home I was a freak.

I'm actually a pretty decent human being and when I'm home I'm straight as an arrow.

Obviously there's not much options when you're a cartoonist - you pretty much either work at home or rent an office I guess and working at home just seems easier.

Home is pretty utopian.

England is my home. London is my home. New York feels like if I have to spend a year living in an unfamiliar city this is a pretty lovely one to spend a year in but I will be going home at the end of it certainly.

I've always thought my soundtracks do pretty good because they're basically professional equivalents of a mix tape I'd make for you at home.

Say there's a white kid who lives in a nice home goes to an all-white school and is pretty much having everything handed to him on a platter - for him to pick up a rap tape is incredible to me because what that's saying is that he's living a fantasy life of rebellion.

I'm the fourth generation to be in show business. It's pretty neat it's nice to have that family history.

People are at their happiest if they are true to themselves. I think that applies to their chosen profession friends and relationships. It goes for your health too. If you are true to yourself it seems to me everything should work out pretty well.

I feel pretty good. My body actually looks like an old banana but it's fine.

It is now possible to quantify people's levels of happiness pretty accurately by asking them by observation and by measuring electrical activity in the brain in degrees from terrible pain to sublime joy.

It is pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness poverty and wealth have both failed.

A great social success is a pretty girl who plays her cards as carefully as if she were plain.

A few months after graduation I was working in films. It took off pretty quick.

Everybody wants you to do good things but in a small town you pretty much graduate and get married. Mostly you marry have children and go to their football games.
