There are so many things I'd like to change in the industry. Everything from the reliance of style over substance to their reluctance to hire me for big budget blockbusters, but the thing I would love most would be if they understood people don't have to be Hollywood beautiful to be sexy or interesting.

If you told me when I was a teen that I would end up being a teacher, I would have said you're out of your mind, because quite frankly I hated school.

Tim Gunn

My dad had a commercial film company, so he had a videotape player before anyone. So he got Mel Brooks movies or Citizen Kane or some classic old movies. And every summer the revival house in Evanston would show the great films from the '50s and '60s and '70s.

John Cusack

The highest happiness of man is to have probed what is knowable and quietly to revere what is unknowable.

Johann von Goethe

Teachers have a chance to mold someone, inspire them. I hope all teachers realize that.

Kevin James

A talk is like a woman's dress. Long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to be interesting.

Love is 2 minutes and 52 seconds of squelching noises.

Johnny Rotten

You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.

Alan Watts

Real success is being totally indulgent about your own trip. You put your blinders on about the garbage and go full speed ahead.

Betsey Johnson

Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.

Henry James

It's how we see the world that keeps the darkness beyond at bay. Keeps it from pouring through and devouring us. I think all of us might know that, way down deep.

Stephen King

I don't know what your childhood was like, but we didn't have much money. We'd go to a movie on a Saturday night, then on Wednesday night my parents would walk us over to the library. It was such a big deal, to go in and get my own book.

Robert Redford

That is the way we decided to talk, free and easy, two young men discussing a boxing match. That was the only way to talk. You couldn't let too much truth seep into your conversation, you couldn't admit with your mouth what your eyes had seen. If you opened the door even a centimeter, you would smell the rot outside and hear the screams. You did not open the door. You kept your mind on the tasks of the day, the hunt for food and water and something to burn, and you saved the rest for the end of the war.
