I was a weird little kid. I was very irritable, bored, frustrated. I felt my imagination bubbling inside my head without having any way to express itself. Given a crayon and paper, I would not draw a train or a house. I would draw these monsters, bea...
Maybe the perceived fact that smart, rich parents tended to have smart, rich kids was largely due to the fact that they also tended to have stay-at-home moms or nannies who read to their kids, held them, put mobiles over their cribs, playing those an...
If 'Mystery Train' is my Nixon book and 'Lipstick Traces' my Reagan book, 'Invisible Republic' is my Bill Clinton book. I really liked Clinton. He made me proud to be part of this country again. For all of his failings, the way he put all that he'd d...
Everybody has an inferiority complex when they step into a room. But then when you have children and you get older, it doesn't really matter. When I was young I had so many inferiority complexes. I had an inferiority complex because I didn't go to un...
Now you must journey inwards to what you really fear it's inside you... there is no turning back. Your training is nothing. The will is everything. The will to act. If you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, you be...
Instead of finding himself in nerd heaven—where every nerd gets fifty-eight virgins to role-play with—he woke up in Robert Wood Johnson with two broken legs and a separated shoulder, feeling like, well, he'd jumped off the New Brunswick train bri...
I wash my hair once a week. You can do that. I swear. My sister-in-law and all of my friends were like, 'I can't do that. It sounds gross.' Once you train your hair, it will do whatever you want it to do. And on day seven when it's too oily, you just...
Oskar Schindler: [addressing two unco-operative Nazi officers at the train station] Gentlemen, thank you very much. I think I can guarantee you- you'll both be in Southern Russia before the end of the month. Good day.
In running, I know that I can train as much as I want and I'm never going to break the world record for the five miles. It's partly genetics; I'm just not built for it. But if I worked really hard, I might be able to cut my time by half. Could I do t...
Li Mu Bai: You did your job well. The sword is back. But... This girl. I saw her last night. Yu Shu Lien: I knew you'd be suspicious. Li Mu Bai: She needs controlling. She needs real direction and training.
[first lines] Train Fireman: Look out the window. And doesn't this remind you of when you were in the boat, and then later than night, you were lying, looking up at the ceiling, and the water in your head was not dissimilar from the landscape, and yo...
Trautman: You picked the wrong man to push. Teasle: No, Trautman. HE picked the wrong man! Trautman: That boy's a *heart attack*! He may be the best the Special Forces ever trained. Anything *you're* gonna throw at him, he's been through a hundred ti...
Gandhi: Where there's injustice, I always believed in fighting. The question is, do you fight to change things or to punish? For myself, I've found we're all such sinners, we should leave punishment to God. And if we really want to change things, the...
[over the telephone] Kent Mansley: Sir, this thing is a menace. It destroyed a power station, it... it caused a train wreck! General Rogard: What did, Mansley? Tell me again, and this time, listen to yourself. Kent Mansley: [sighs] A giant... metal m...
[first lines] Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: [Narrating] Only ever met one man I wouldn't wanna fight. When I met him he was already the best cut man in the business. Started training and managing in the sixties, but never lost his gift.
Frankie Dunn: Don't call me Boss. I'm not your boss and don't you be calling me that. Maggie Fitzgerald: If I stop callin' you Boss, will you train me? Frankie Dunn: No. Maggie Fitzgerald: Then I might as well just keep callin you it!
Max: The best thing to do is to get your ass out of here. Best way that you can. Billy Hayes: Yeah, but how? Max: Catch the midnight express. Billy Hayes: But what's that? Max: [laughs] Well it's not a train. It's a prison word for... escape. But it ...
[Bond runs and jumps on the end of the train, hanging on the door as the female conductor looks at him in confusion] James Bond: Open the door, please! [Conductor still stares at him] James Bond: Open the door! [Conductor finally opens the door befor...
Jake: How much money was in that bag? Alonzo: 40 G's. Jake: What was that for? Alonzo: You really wanna know? Jake: Yeah. I asked, didn't I? Alonzo: Nothing's free in this world, Jake. Not even arrest warrants. Jake: Shit, I didn't wanna know.
Alonzo: [on the phone talking to Smiley] Make sure that bath tub is clean, homey. [Jake gets in car] Alonzo: It behoves you not to dick around on this one. Justifiable homicide in the line of duty? What happened was... Jake: What happened... was murd...
Alonzo Harris: All right, burn it, barbecue it, fish-fry it, I don't give a fuck, but it'll make the boys feel better... Jake Hoyt: Fuck their feelings. Alonzo Harris: You're not makin' them feel like you're part of the team. Jake Hoyt: Team? You guy...
