teaching kids political
There is one solution to all of our problems: Teaching our kids clarity of thought and political representation in democracy. That's it.
media today united-states
The rules are all wrong today. The mandate of the media really does pre-date the founding of the United States.
guy lines days-off
The bad guy always gets the best scene and the best lines in the film, and they usually get the most days off.
giving substance may
Let's give some substance to patriotism. It may take a generation.
turns
Power never turns power down, ever, unless institutionally demanded.
firsts saws scared
Jaws,' first time I saw it, I forgot I was in it. True. Totally forgot, and got as scared as everybody else, and it's a great movie.
bigs deals big-deal
I didn't understand 3-D in the fifties and I can't say I get it now either. I just don't see what the big deal is.
night people film-and-television
Theater is completely different from film or television. It has a beginning and a middle and an end and it's different every night. And it's far preferable to any other except in the sense of not getting paid, people who want to eat should do film and television.
jobs struggle careers
The happiest I ever been was when I was a struggling actor. I've had big houses and small houses. I always had work available for most of my career. When I actually had to find jobs to make money, that's when I was happy.
running children government
It is an obvious and blatant stupidity beyond my ability to articulate how dumb it is for us not to teach our children how to run the government.
growing-up waiting adults
Part of me is still waiting to grow up, to be an adult, and the other part knows there is no such thing.
two done body
I never had a role that I set out for. I always wanted to have a body of work that I'm proud of. Save for two projects, which will never pass my lips, I'm happy with what I've done.
happiness rap goal
Happiness has a bad rap. People say it shouldn't be your goal in life. Oh, yes it should.
confused character white
It must be remembered that the Bush White House has a separate talent for character assassination that must not be confused with a talent for governance.
