There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings.
I don't want to make films that give you the answer. If there is a message to my films - and I hope there isn't - it's to be open-minded.
My intention is to get more involved in social projects so I can give people a message of hope.
I hope the example of Saddam Hussein will give a lesson to leaders of other countries where human rights are not respected.
My mission as a writer is to give my readers hope to carry with them, and to promote a belief that they can do anything they set their minds to.
Although one may fail to find happiness in theatrical life, one never wishes to give it up after having once tasted its fruits.
All the people who follow me on Twitter know my sense of humor. I sometimes forget the blogosphere will give it more weight than I intended.
They don't make you pay for the humor. It's up and down, but they're trying to give you as many laughs as possible in 2 minutes. They are the most honest comedians ever.
Wisely used history can give pleasure and provide us with a useful tool; but we should not become its slaves.
I've never really had a problem with the imagination level of an audience. They're always smarter and savvier than any studio exec will give them credit for.
Books that change you, even later in life, give you a kind of electrical shock as the world takes a different shape.
Google is about information and computers and making things really fast. Facebook is about the sharing and connections. These missions give these companies direction and motivation.
What Englishman will give his mind to politics as long as he can afford to keep a motor car?
Here's a trick to giving the birds-and-bees talk: You gotta do it in a car, so they can't escape. That's what all my girlfriends' parents did.
The Christmas market at the Barcelona Cathedral sells all kinds of things for your Nativity scene. It will also give you a good idea of Catalan culture.
There is nothing that would upset me more than my dad being bribed by the press. It's like, 'Just let them run it, then. Don't you give them ammunition.'
That is where the irony of the film comes off, in terms of the language it employs - where he tries desperately to be a 'TV Dad,' to give advice and it's so pat it becomes ridiculous.
I am not a proponent of the death penalty, but I will enforce the law as this Congress gives it to us.
The richness of the world, all artificial pleasures, have the taste of sickness and give off a smell of death in the face of certain spiritual possessions.
I give myself a cheat day where I annihilate my diet. I'm an all-American girl, so I go for a burger and fries and a shake.
I don't need a diet pill. I need something that gives you an electric shock when you reach for food.
