Some things are fairly obvious when it's a seven-foot skeleton with a scythe telling you them
Terry Pratchett
I like food too much to go on some crazy diet. French fries are my favorite downfall.
Holly Madison

Jodi Picoult

If a mute kid swears, should his mother wash his hands with soap?
Steven Wright
Nobody could tell us or really had a very good idea, if there were a massive release of radiation, what kind of medical treatment people were going to need and this or that, or, indeed, whether there would be medical personnel around.
William Scranton
You cannot put the same shoe on every foot.
I feel like writing a book there's always a version in your head that's an amazing version, but then you write the version that you can write.

The world is a crazy, beautiful, ugly complicated place, and it keeps moving on from crisis to strangeness to beauty to weirdness to tragedy. The caravan keeps moving on, and the job of the longform writer or filmmaker or radio broadcaster is to stop - is to pause - and when the caravan goes away, that's when this stuff comes.
David Remnick
Anger and jealousy can no more bear to lose sight of their objects than love.

Mordecai Wyatt Johnson
The first step towards vice is to shroud innocent actions in mystery, and whoever likes to conceal something sooner or later has reason to conceal it.
I would say that playing this character has caused me to think about a lot of things. He's always questioning himself and trying to get back to something he lost touch with and trying to find forgiveness. Everybody struggles with these things to some extent in their life.

Jim Carrey
We are born, so to speak, twice over; born into existence, and born into life; born a human being, and born a man.
It's an example of what the whole of New Guinea was like 50,000 years ago when there was no hunting, no impact of logging and no environmental desecration. There're very few places left on earth where there has been so little human impact.
