There are some good songs, but not the kind of song-writing that I remember, that I like. Springsteen still does it. Paul Simon, and there are also good writers, but that doesn't dominate the charts.
I'd rather get a good clean laugh with good material, than an easy laugh by swearing or shocking. That's not clever or comedic, anybody can get a laugh that way, it's too easy.
A mother who is obsessing about being thin and dieting and exercising is not going to be a very good mother.
I don't care what I do - act, stand-up, write, direct - it doesn't matter as long as I'm being creative and it's good work.
My hatred is a thousand times more powerful than all your good intentions.
Songwriting is like going to church. I'm connecting to something, and it's rewarding in really important ways. I don't need to share it with anyone to feel good about it.
We feel good about our running backs as we have them right now, and we will continue to see how they progress.
The first calculators tended to sell for $400 or $500. Today, you can get a pretty good one for 4 or $5.

It's hard enough to write a good drama, it's much harder to write a good comedy, and it's hardest of all to write a drama with comedy. Which is what life is.
I have a good sense of humor. I think everything we do should have whimsy in it.
You don't have to be a wreck. You don't have to be sick. One's aim in life should be to die in good health. Just like a candle that burns out.
I think good actors - good, collaborative actors who see themselves as leaders in a given production - can and should offer ideas that have nothing to do with wanting to direct themselves.
I believe there's things all around us that make you do good things and some that make you do bad things.
The thought in my mind was that I must be a good merchant. If I were a good merchant, the rest would probably take care of itself.

I feel good about the work I do on Survivor and am proud of my contribution.
I love to star in movies, but I want to have good roles. It doesn't help to get starring roles in something that's no good. I mean, that will just kill you.
The thing about growing old is you have to accept it - if you don't, you'll be as miserable as sin. You've got to try and find the few good things about it.
Humanizing good people is kind of boring and I don't really see the value in it... humanizing tricky characters is exhilarating, and making audience films out of indie subjects excites me.
