It's kind of a dream come true, because we've always loved these films. We've loved this character, and now we have the opportunity to not remake the movie, but to play these characters. It's like playing Hamlet.
I love comedy. That's what got me into the arts. I don't even know how to categorize myself anymore.
I love technology, and I love science. It's just always all in the way you use it. So there's no - you can't really blame anything on the technology. It's just the way people use it, and it always has been.
Everything is fraught with danger. I love technology and I love science. It's just always all in the way you use it. So there's no - you can't really blame anything on the technology. It's just the way people use it, and it always has been.
The thing about the banjo is, when you first hear it, it strikes many people as 'What's that?' There's something very compelling about it to certain people; that's the way I was; that's the way a lot of banjo players and people who love the banjo are.

I used to think a wedding was a simple affair. Boy and girl meet, they fall in love, he buys a ring, she buys a dress, they say I do. I was wrong. That's getting married. A wedding is an entirely different proposition.
Romance takes place when you first fall in love. It stirs all emotions and you can manipulate and be manipulated.
Unlike Ray Porter, his love is fearless and without reservation.
Love is a promise delivered already broken.
I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy.
I like a woman with a head on her shoulders. I hate necks.
Hosting the Oscars is much like making love to a woman. It's something I only get to do when Billy Crystal is out of town.
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.
