Apparently, the world is not a wish-granting factory.

There are times, like after a long day of work, when the thought of an easy drive-through is enticing. But then I remember how crappy I felt when I ate fast food in the past, and it inspires me to head to the grocery store or my local farmer's market and whip up an easy but healthier option.

He was a great patriot, a humanitarian, a loyal friend - provided, of course, that he really is dead.

Voltaire

I've never really had a problem with the imagination level of an audience. They're always smarter and savvier than any studio exec will give them credit for.

James Van Der Beek

Helen Hayes

Paul Geraldy

I have too much money invested in sweaters.

Bob Hope

Afraid lest he be caught up in a net of words, tripped up, bewildered and so defeated

William Carlos Williams, Journal

The secret of success is concentrating interest in life, interest in sports and good times, interest in your studies, interest in your fellow students, interest in the small things of nature, insects, birds, flowers, leaves, etc. In other words to be fully awake to everything about you

LeRoy Pollock

I don't like to talk much with people who always agree with me. It is amusing to coquette with an echo for a little while, but one soon tires of it.

Thomas Carlyle

I kinda see my current position like this: Here's your five minutes in the toy store, so you gotta do all the good movies you can before 'Chuck Woolery' rings the bell.

Ben Affleck

The funny thing is I'm not bothered or sad about being on my own - after all I've never had a husband.
