"Be resolutely and faithfully what you are; be humbly what you aspire to be."

-- Henry David Thoreau

“I always say I've given 24 insufficient performances and I'm looking forward to the time in my life when I'll do something that I think is good. There's always stuff you can do better, stuff that maybe you didn't uncover enough. But if you do something that you truly believe is perfect, then that's got to be the last movie you do.”
“The first step to loving someone else is to recognize the evil in ourselves, so we can forgive them.”
“Thats one of my problems is that there are so many songs to sing that I sort of get indecisive about what I want to do in a show - because there are so many possibilities! There are so many great songs out there.”
“I am an obsessive flyer, myself.”
“I listened to my first comedy album in 6th grade. It was Bill Cosby. My brother and I would play it over and over on a Fisher Price record player. A friend in high school also introduced me to Richard Pryor. I wasn't writing material back then, but I would say funny stuff. I was good at making fun of people's moms. If I knew something personal about you, it would be used against you.”
“First get a clear notion of what you desire to accomplish and then in all probability you will succeed in doing it.”
“Live the life you always wanted to live. Avoid criticizing others and concentrate on fulfilling your dreams.”
“As football gets more globalized, it's probably more important than ever to have one or two players in your team who have grown up in the same streets or been to the same schools as the hard-core fans.”
