The difference between my generation of actors and their generation is that they were bigger than life. We are not bigger than life.
I love dancing in general and making girls dance. My generation doesn't do it enough.
'Chels-emojis' are in the works. I use emojis heavily in life, and I think a lot of people do. There are a number that are frustratingly absent - you know how there's kind of a generic white man and a generic white woman? I just want to put a generic...
The trimmings of wealth are not as important to me and my generation as they were to my parents' generation.
Flint, Michigan. Detroit as seen backwards through a telescope. The callus on the palm of the state shaped like a welder's mitt. A town where 66.5 percent of the working citizenship are in some way, shape or form linked to the shit-encrusted underbel...
Official Washington cannot tell the American people that the real purpose of its gargantuan military expenditures and belligerent interventions is to make the world safe for General Motors, General Electric, General Dynamics, and all the other genera...
One thing that was passed on from generation to generation in my family, over seven generations in 200 years, was never give up. That's the way we live.
My generation will actually be the first generation that is tamer than the one that came before it, and it will probably be poorer; less fun and less money.

Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning: Hello, Roy. How are you? Maj. General Roy Urqhart: I'm not sure I'll know for a while. But I'm sorry about how it turned out. Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning: You did all you could. Maj. General Roy Urqhart:...
Captain Darrow: Sergeant Crisp, secure the General. I'm relieving you of command, sir. [pause] Captain Darrow: SERGEANT. [Sergeant Crisp pulls out his pistol and reaches for General Hummel's gun holster] Sergeant Crisp: I'll have that sidearm, sir. [...
going to have an industrial society you must have places that will look terrible. Other places you set aside—to say, ‘This is the way it was.’
Maybe I could dole out the truth in tiny pieces that, once assembled, would make a picture that resembled a reality in which I hadn’t done anything wrong.
We make children and wealth and amass land and build halls and assemble armies and give great feasts, but only one thing survives us. Reputation.
