There's someone out there for everyone-even if you need a pickaxe, a compass, and night goggles to find them.
I was not naturally talented. I didn't sing, dance or act, though working around that minor detail made me inventive.
I love money. I love everything about it. I bought some pretty good stuff. Got me a $300 pair of socks. Got a fur sink. An electric dog polisher. A gasoline powered turtleneck sweater. And, of course, I bought some dumb stuff, too.
I've got to keep breathing. It'll be my worst business mistake if I don't.
I handed in a script last year and the studio didn't change one word. The word they didn't change was on page 87.
I've always believed that there are funny people everywhere, but they're just not comedians. In fact, some of my best comedic inspirations were not professional entertainers.
First the doctor told me the good news: I was going to have a disease named after me.
Through the years, I have learned there is no harm in charging oneself up with delusions between moments of valid inspiration.
Be so good they can't ignore you.
Right now we're teaching them that the game is fun. If they learn it's fun, they always go back to it again in clinics and in schools.
It doesn't behoove us not to ask these questions. It makes us look like fools.
I thought if I had a Twitter feed and say I had a following of a 100,000, that means 100,000 of them would be interested in my book. It was logical, but it didn't turn out to be true. It turned out if I had a Twitter feed of a 100,000, four of them were interested in my book.
I would have felt a little funny if another actor was playing this role.
While my fervent hope is we can get the entire amount ... I think we need to have some idea what we would lose.
