I used to be an over-packer! It took me a while to be smart about what I brought with me. I used to tour with a huge bag full of clothes and another one full of shoes because I wanted to have choices. And I ended up wearing the same pair of shoes all...
When I started formulating the first Frank comic, I knew I wanted it to be something that was beyond time and specific place. I felt that having the characters speak would tie it to 20th-century America, because that would be the idiom of the languag...
I was a very happy child, so to speak. But, since we didn't have video games or television, and very little radio, in terms of a form of entertainment, I used to read a lot and I would draw a lot, and those two things used to occupy my time.
I write little quotes all the time to help encourage people to come together, like this one: 'If fate happens to toss you a lightbulb, use it to light the path of others, for they will use theirs to light the path of you. With your light together wit...
Nearly everybody I know does something to try to remove herself to clear her head and to have enough time and space to think... All of us instinctively feel that something inside us is crying out for more spaciousness and stillness to offset the exhi...
Captain: They won't catch us this time! Not this time! They haven't spotted us! No, they're all snoring in their bunks! Or, you know what? They're drinking at the bar, celebrating our sinking! Not yet, my friends. Not yet!
[Mick is talking to a reporter about Tom foiling the robbery] Mick: Those men. They were gonna kill us. They were gonna kill us. Now, Tom... he's a hero.
[last lines] Brody: What day is this? Hooper: It's Wednesday... eh, it's Tuesday, I think. Brody: Think the tide's with us? Hooper: Keep kicking. Brody: I used to hate the water... Hooper: I can't imagine why.
Marcus Luttrell: [after finding his lost gun in the middle of the fight] See? God's looking out for us. Michael Murphy: If this is what happens when God is looking out for us, I'd hate to see Him pissed.
Peachy Carnehan: Detriments you call us? Detriments? Well I want to remind you that it was detriments like us that built this bloody Empire AND the Izzat of the bloody Raj. Hats on.
Grace: If you're dead, then leave us in peace. Leave us in peace! Mrs. Mills: And suppose we do leave you, ma'am, do you suppose that They will? Grace: Who? Mrs. Mills: The intruders.
Halina: Have you seen this? Wladyslaw Szpilman: [impatient] What? What? I'm working. What? What is this? Halina: It's where they're going to put us. Wladyslaw Szpilman: What do you mean "put us"?
Lloyd Dobler: You used to be fun. You used to be warped and twisted and hilarious... and I mean that in the best way - I mean it as a compliment! Constance: I was hilarious once, wasn't I?
Karl: I reckon I'm gonna have to get used to looking at pretty people. Dr. Jerry Woolridge: Yes you will. Karl: 'Reckon I'm gonna have to get used to them looking at me.
Mitchell Stephens: [speaking of his estranged daughter's feeling for him and her mother when she was a child] She loved us both equally then... Just as she hates us both equally now.
Private Reiben: What's the saying? "If God's on our side, who the hell could be on theirs?" Upham: "If God is for us, who could be against us?" Private Reiben: Yeah, what'd I say?
Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.
I used to be so angry about the kids that had stuff. Like the kids that had cars, the kids that had money to go get lunch every day off campus. I used to feel so slighted.
There's no way in the world I can feel the same blues the way I used to. When I play in Chicago, I'm playing up-to-date, not the blues I was born with. People should hear the pure blues - the blues we used to have when we had no money.
