believe change law missouri opponents west wild
Opponents would have you believe the law would change Missouri into a Wild West shootout,
believe men heroic-deeds
I have played some of the great men in history and I believe in the great man who does heroic deeds, even in these egalitarian times.
country war believe
I believe that we are again engaged in a great civil war, a cultural way that's about to hijack your birthright to think and say what resides in your heart. I fear you no longer trust the pulsing lifeblood of liberty inside you... the stuff that made this country rise from wilderness into the miracle that it is.
believe theory audience
I always work on the theory that the audience will believe you best if you believe yourself.
believe mean thinking
Political Correctness, what does it mean? It means that telling us what to think has evolved into telling us what to say, so telling us what to do can't be far behind. Before you claim to be a champion of free thought, tell me: Why did political correctness originate on American campuses? And why do you continue to tolerate it? Why do you, who're supposed to debate ideas, surrender to suppression? Let's be honest. Who thinks professors can say what they really believe? It scares me to death, and should scare you too, that the superstition of political correctness rules the halls of reason.
believe heart drunk
I believe that in your heart you already know something is profoundly wrong. When bartenders are responsible for drunk drivers' acts, and gunmakers are responsible for criminals' acts, and nobody is responsible for O. J. Simpson's acts, something is wrong.
happy political tyranny
Political correctness is tyranny with a happy face.

One of my first memories of my dad during that shoot was him coming home from the Coliseum set after filming the chariot race, and I assumed he was a professional chariot racer at that point, ... He'd bring me home sand from the massive arena.
forced role society
That is not our role in American society and we will not be forced to play it,
thinking alcohol our-society
I think narcotics and alcohol, and even tobacco are enormously costly ingredients in our society.
television facts mediums
My dissatisfaction with television as a medium has nothing to do with the audience or the fact that you don't require as much time to do it as you do a movie, but with its technical limitations.
powerful successful political
Lenin in 1921 observed very presciently that motion pictures were the most powerful tool ever invented to shape the way we thought. He was right. Political films can be successful.
art raw-materials film
Film is the only art form whose raw materials are so horrendously expensive that the artist cannot afford to buy them for himself.
art motivation film
The prime motivation in making almost any film is success, because film is the art form of the 20th century.
