What bothers most critics of my work is the goofiness. One reviewer said I need to make up my mind if want to be funny or serious. My response is that I will make up my mind when God does, because life is a commingling of the sacred and the profane, ...
Singing was my first love and I never even considered it after I started acting, but now I'm bringing it back into my life. I trained from the ages of 11 to 17. When I moved to New York and got into serious acting, I just kind of abandoned the whole ...
Man may behold what ugliness he likes if he is sure that he will not worship it; but there are some so weak that they will worship a thing only because it is ugly. These must be chained to the beautiful. It is not always wrong even to go, like Dante,...
I confess that I am a messy, disorganized and impatient reader: if the book doesn't grab me in the first 40 pages, I abandon it. I have piles of half-read books waiting for me to get acute hepatitis or some other serious condition that would force me...
Suppose a bad guy guesses the password for your throwaway Yahoo address. Now he goes to major banking and commerce sites and looks for an account registered to that email address. When he finds one, he clicks the 'forgot my password' button and a new...
A serious adult story must be true to something in life. Since marvel tales cannot be true to the events of life, they must shift their emphasis towards something to which they can be true; namely, certain wistful or restless moods of the human spiri...
My inspirations come from everywhere. It's important to look at everything and anything. I think what I create is serious fashion, but I don't want to keep my focus on that. You have to look at a lot of different things. I mean, people are always sur...
For me a page of good prose is where one hears the rain. A page of good prose is when one hears the noise of battle.... A page of good prose seems to me the most serious dialogue that well-informed and intelligent men and women carry on today in thei...
Of course I've had a bunch of broken bones, sprains and I've had five or six concussions, with three serious ones. I also got a real heavy duty blood clot and internal bleeding from where I was shot in the stomach with a beanbag bullet that the polic...
Donald Gennaro: Let's get something straight, John, this is not a weekend excursion, this is a serious investigation of the stability of the island. Your investors, whom I represent, are deeply concerned. And 48 hours from now, if they're not convinc...
Liesel Meminger: Rudy, where are you going to stay? Rudy Steiner: "You"? What about "we"? Liesel Meminger: I didn't think you were this serious. Rudy Steiner: What do you call this? [holds out his small bag] Rudy Steiner: Packed lunch? Liesel Meminge...
When I see a serious problem, I try to figure out, my way, how to solve it, how to fix it. When I'm back here in the U.S., I'm speaking, raising funds, and everything for what I do overseas, but at the same time, I speak in schools, colleges, on drug...
[Rick and Renault discussing Victor Laszlo's chances of escaping Casablanca] Captain Renault: This is the end of the chase. Rick: Twenty thousand francs says it isn't. Captain Renault: Is that a serious offer? Rick: I just paid out twenty. I'd like t...
Harry: Dragons, that's the first task. They've got one for each of us. Cedric Diggory: Are you serious? And Fleur and Krum, do they...? Harry: Yes. Cedric Diggory: Right. Hey, listen, about the badges. I've asked them not to wear them... Harry: Don't...
Debbie: The subheading reads, 'Brown and Williamson has a 500 page dossier attacking chief critic.' It quotes Richard Scruggs calling it, 'the worse kind of an organized smear campaign against a Whistleblower'. 'A closer look at the file and independ...
Edith Piaf: In three months... that's right, in April, I'll be a hit at the Olympic. With a full house, we'll be flush. Louise: Edith, your liver cells are not functioning normally. You've been ill. You need rest. It's serious. Edith Piaf: I'm just 4...
Brian: Stephen, your 'motor-mouth' disease, does it affect, um... Stephen Hawking: What? Brian: [Gesturing towards his crotch] Uh, everything? Stephen Hawking: What? No. Different system. Automatic. Brian: Are you serious? Well that's pretty wonderfu...
Woody: Has everybody picked a moving buddy? Hamm: Moving buddy? You can't be serious! Rex: I didn't know we were supposed to have one already! Mr. Potato Head: [holding his left arm in his right hand] Do we have to hold hands? [All laugh]
Thomas Leroy: I don't want there to be any boundaries between us. Nina: No, me neither. Thomas Leroy: So, you got a boyfriend? Nina: No. Thomas Leroy: And you've had many in the past? Nina: A few but no one serious. Thomas Leroy: You're not a virgin ...
King- Hamilton, Judge Alan ( b 1900 )'...I think he erred on the side of severity when he gave Janie Jones, the notorious madame, seven years after the jury had acquitted her'. 'Well, these things are relative of course. It all depends on what you've...
Is that the ultimate need? To secure some agent to act as a salve, a bandage, a cover-up, concealer over the black eye, as opposed to facing the issue head on. Nobody wants to address the fist. We’d all much rather take something for the pain and m...
