The P.C. police are out in force at all times... We've reached a point where people are actually afraid to talk about what they want to say.
Walk on water? I know most people out there will be saying that instead of walking on it, I should have taken more of it with my drinks. They are absolutely right.
I'm just saying if you want to reach large audiences, then rely on professionals, meaning people who are in the industry and are trained for it, rather than just idiot savants.
Onstage or in films, you do affect peoples' lives, and sometimes that's very gratifying. But still, there's this little voice that says you should be doing something that matters.
So, what I say to people is that politics has got to be about principle and values above all. Of course, there are times when you have to make accommodations.
My close proximity to many of the newsmakers can give me a different perspective about people in politics and what they might say than others who don't know them.
I don't believe in politics. I'm an anarchist, I guess you could say. I think people could be just fine looking after themselves.

I wouldn't say in all situations, but a lot of times kids can be the most reasonable people around because they don't have the deal with all the drama that goes along with being an adult.
The world is full of people who say, 'But I had that idea first,' but did they do anything about it? Nope, they sat on their bum dreaming.
I just don't like people coming up to me and saying something. It immediately makes you become insincere. There is no way you can react to it sincerely.
People always say I'm a legend, but I'm not. Not until I've defended my Olympic titles. That's when I've decided I'll be a legend.
The people who say poverty is no excuse for low performance are now using teacher accountability as an excuse for doing nothing about poverty.
What were you supposed to say to people you barely knew? That was the kind of thing I needed lessons in - forget algebra and history.
Judging people based on what others say about them won't give us the opportunity to know them better.
It's a weird thing to say you want people to be sick of your song, but I guess that's what happens if your song goes really well.
I've never had a problem with people paying attention to what you're doing and say they find that they liked it.
People who know me know that there's a light-hearted side, humour... But you could easily say I am cheeky.
When I'm actually assembling a scene, I assemble it as a silent movie. Even if it's a dialog scene, I lip read what people are saying.
