If you build it, nerds will come.
bad breaking created difference entire horrible opened owe pay rent taxes three time year
The whole - it's the economy's bad. It's bad for everybody. I have my own comedy club. I opened it three years ago in a horrible economy. I created jobs. And we just started breaking even after a year and a half, barely. For that entire time, I have had to pay the difference of what we owe in rent and taxes and everything out of my own pocket.
country false nobody people versus warfare wealthy
First of all, this whole idea of this one percent versus the 99 percent, it's a false statistic. There's nobody that is wealthy saying, let's go get the people that aren't. First of all, there's no versus. He's creating a false class warfare in a country where there is no class structure.
chevy felt gay guilty legends martin steve surrounded three worked
I first worked with Steve Martin on 'The Three Amigos,' also starring Chevy Chase, and the very gay Martin Short. I was surrounded by all these legends of comedy, and I felt guilty having a favorite, because you were all so funny. But hey, it was Chevy.
agreed guy keeps pay ran saying share thinks
I agreed with everything he was saying when he ran for president. I was listening to what he said. I go, this guy thinks like me and I agree with him. Now he's changing. All he keeps saying is millionaires and billionaires don't pay their fair share of taxes.
whatever
There are some actors who say, 'What do you want me to do? I'll do whatever you want,' and that's all they do, ... I kind of go to the other extreme. I say, 'I have an idea. Can I try something?'
chance meant miss policy time
I really didn't want to leave the show, but I got a chance to do a movie, which meant I would have had to miss two shows, and at the time Lorne had a policy where you can't miss shows, so I left.
bad everybody hard instead opposed people teach telling time tools turning victims
Instead of making people victims of people who are successful, we should be telling people, 'Look, you are having a hard time, I feel bad for you. Let's look at what you're doing, let's teach you how to succeed. Let's give you the tools to succeed as opposed to turning everybody into victims.
baseball fun cheer
I like getting up in front of an audience. It's fun when you go to a baseball game and the crowd is cheering you. I can't deny it. And it's very funny, too. Sometimes you're shy; you go somewhere and everyone's looking at you, so you feel a little self-conscious.
people problem economy
The problem with the economy isn't that people aren't paying their fair share of taxes.
drama school play
I had done plays in high school. It was something I always wanted to do since I was little. I was a drama major at UC-Irvine.
fun laughing feel-good
It's fun to do something funny and have the director laughing. It makes you feel good.
giving half dollars
If I make a dollar and out of every dollar I'm taxed at 50, half, at 50 cents, I have to give, isn't that like enough?
thinking people be-who-you-are
I would never tell anyone who to vote for. I'm a different kind of 'liberal' and I think people should be true to themselves. If you're Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal, you should be true to yourself and be who you are.
