Nobody is trying to save energy. We're trying to shift our use of fuel. Forget saving energy; if we get the right kind of energy, there are endless amounts.
I'm always trying new things and learning new things. If there isn't anything more you can learn - go off and die.
If you get called on to help somebody pull focus to some good cause, that's good use of your fame. I don't try to avoid that.
You're not going to be able to look like anyone else, no matter how hard you try, unless you're a mimic, then you're not acting, you're just mimicking. You can't go on being John Wayne, that's John Wayne. So you're not going to steal from John Wayne. I'm not going to steal from John Wayne and you're not going to come back and say 'Didn't you get that from the circus?' You know. But he is one of those people who instructs me, whom I look up to - whom I think is one of the masters of his craft that I am so enamoured of.
I have a problem with writer/directors, personal. I can't work well with both of them on the set, if both of them are giving instructions. Writers tend to be in love with what they wrote. You can't always translate the words into the meaning, sometimes the meaning is better served without the words, difficult to make a writer to try to understand that. It gets, sometimes, tense.
We want to give people what they want, when they want it. We are following the wave.
We call on anybody who has even the thought (of giving) to get beyond the thought and help these people.
You're going to relegate my history to a month.
One of the things you can always depend on - this is one of the truths of the universe, and you heard it first from here - whatever we decide we want to do is what we do.
I'm not one for blaspheming -- but that one made me laugh.
We are all part of American history. Dr. Martin Luther King is not a black hero. He is an American hero. ... The world needs his message today more than ever before.
We know its a very clean-burning fuel. It's renewable ... all we need to do is make it available.
Anyone anywhere in the world who has the service will have front row seats right in the comfort of their own home. Think about that.
People hear that and say I'm being modest, but I am not a modest person, but I have to be truthful about what I'm doing and what I'm doing is channeling.
