I don't have to be bam, bam, bam, funny when I'm working. I can tell stories, and there's some funny in them.
[On lightweight movies:] Fun movies. They were never meant to cure cancer, only to take away the mind.
I don't like driving very much. That makes me very unhappy, because I scream a lot in the car, but other than that, life is actually pretty good.
I had such a good time doing that movie [Sister Act 2]. My daughter's in that movie. It was a fun film to do. And it shocked a lot of people, because they loved it, and they take it with them.
Normal is nothing more than a cycle on a washing machine.
We had some cute stuff to say, but you all don't care about that.
Sometimes I wish that I could run as fast as they do and do just 90 percent of the things I see those folks doing. I would have loved to have learned how to be a really good soccer player because I really like soccer.
There's no better place in the world for meat, conversation and good old-fashioned friendship.

When you are kind to someone, you hope they'll remember and be kind to someone else and it will become like wildfire.
We thought in the first year we were going to be able to get everybody off the streets.
Not that you're not youthful. You're very youthful, John. But he looks like he's 18!
I told her her I would play a Venetian blind, dirt on the floor, anything.
When I listen to these women, it makes what I thought were my hard knocks now feel like little nudges.
