honest not-honest ifs
I'm nothing if not honest.
fun eye land
It's fun to see the light in someone's eyes. It's fun to give your own eccentric experience and have it land. That's fun.
winning salad stills
Tabouli is the best salad, but still, you don't win friends with salad
running fear pants
My worst fear is that I'll end up living in some run-down duplex on Wilshire wearing pants hiked up to my nipples and muttering under my breath.
doctors would-be way
I said to my doctor, 'You gotta testme, there's something wrong with me that I would be behaving this way.'
meaningful wake-up world
Wake up and live. It's a fast world out there.
ignorance thinking process
I really think that living is the process of going from complete certainty to complete ignorance.

You don't have to act as if you care; you just have to care enough to act.
teacher play community
I decided at age 9, but I was reinforced at age 13 when a teacher told me I had talent. I can't say she really motivated me because I already knew. I knew I had talent. I went to the Jewish community theater and got in plays there. Then I went for the movies.

People who commit adultery must die. Everyone knows that. Any movie tells you that!
critical-analysis political negative
Civility is not not saying negative or harsh things. It is not the absence of critical analysis. It is the manner in which we are sharing this territorial freedom of political discussion. If our discourse is yelled and screamed and interrupted and patronized, that's uncivil.
attitude cocky people
When you Google me, you'll find a lot of people don't like Richard Dreyfuss. Because I'm cocky and I present a cocky attitude. But no one has ever disagreed with the notion I represent, that we need more civic education. So far there's 100 percent support for that.
people way john-kennedy
John Kennedy really did extend the reach of the American people and said, like Lincoln said in a way, that our reach is farther than our grasp - and we should aim high.
mistake passionate debate
We mistake politics for legislative debate. You can be passionate without being personal.
