Perhaps naively I thought people understand what humor was, that it was invented by the human race to cope with the dark areas of life, problems and terrors.
I'm interested in history, in trying to relate the past to the present and to understand how people thought about their problems and pleasures.
Harrison Ford was pretty content as a carpenter who thought it would be nice to work on TV and ended up being the biggest film star in the history of cinema.
No one in human history has given as much thought to the interweaving of altered states of consciousness and religion as I have.
What we hold in our heads - our memory, our feelings, our thoughts, our sense of our own history - is the sum of our humanity.
That neither our thoughts, nor passions, nor ideas formed by the imagination, exist without the mind, is what every body will allow.
You know, this is a war of ideology, a war of thoughts and of faith. And we need people to really stand for faith and trust, not hope and change.
We always thought the Tom Tom Club could change to anything, but it acquired this image, which was cartoon animation and this real light-hearted dance music.
I hate the thought of my children being glued to a screen. Children only play on computers all day because their parents let them.
Computers have become more friendly, understandable, and lots of years and thought have been put into developing software to convince people that they want and need a computer.
I thought people would think I only wanted to be an actor because my dad was, rather than because I had an innate calling.
It is because my dad died suddenly that I became an actor. I thought, I'm going to make money doing this thing I enjoy.
My parents met in the theatre, and I thought that was so romantic. My dad was a scenic designer and my mom was a dancer, and that's how they met; they met in the theatre.
My dad was an attorney. The last thing he ever thought about was clothes, and yet somehow he always looked good.
I was in two episodes playing Christopher Reeve's character's emissary. They wanted to have my character announce Dr Swan's death, which I thought was exploitative.
I never, in my wildest dreams, could I have thought that the first role I get out of school would lead to an Oscar nomination.
I've been so showered in life, beyond my wildest dreams, such as having a loving partner I never thought I'd have.
I started dating older men, and I would fall in love with them. I thought they could teach me about life.
When the state or federal government control the education of all of our children, they have the dangerous and illegitimate monopoly to control and influence the thought process of our citizens.
So I was shampooing at 14. But I've always thought that had I the opportunity for an education, I would have been an architect. There's no question about it.
And I also thought that Richard Nixon was the greatest political education we have ever had, but it looks like we need to relearn them again.
