MacReady: [Holding TNT in one hand, and a lit flare in the other] Anybody touches me, and we go.
One thing that improved my cooking skills was being a poor student in California... If you don't have much money, you have to learn to cook.
Saddam spent 35 years stealing and wasting money, and all of these systems are very fragile and brittle, and you try to fix one thing and something else gets in trouble.
You have to starve the Beast. That's one of the most important things about tax cuts. If you leave the money in Washington, it's going to be spent.
Families, particularly, tend to be the ones that you take the most for granted. They seem to slip under the radar, all those important things - it almost becomes second nature to do so.

It is a happy thing that there is no royal road to poetry. The world should know by this time that one cannot reach Parnassus except by flying thither.
I know one thing: There are a billion Islamic people in the world today, and there will be about 2 billion by the time we're dead. They're not going to give up their religion.
And one thing that I always believed and that I knew for certain was that I could never have sustained a personal relationship while I worked this hard, or while I was that driven this intensely by the story.

What's really sad is that a lot of very talented people are being forced to do things that are very embarrassing and I don't intend to be one of them.
I can't say I'm happy to be talking about John Ritter and his passing. In my 21 years of Entertainment Tonight, this really was one of the most shocking and sad things to have happened.
Success is an absurd, erratic thing. She arrives when one least expects her and after she has come may depart again almost because of a whim.
There is never just one thing that leads to success for anyone. I feel it always a combination of passion, dedication, hard work, and being in the right place at the right time.
I think one of the greatest enemies in the use of technology, however, is the idea that if you use the technology you have to throw other things out of the window.
That's one of the most important things to me is that Detroit and Ann Arbor got my back. If you don't have hometown love, then what's the point?
I really love nature. I grew up in the country. But one of the things about nature is that it is beautiful but it's also very dangerous.
One of the billions of things I love about Beyonce: The harder she tries to come on crazy, the less crazy she sounds.
