There are certain moments when we might wish the future were built by men of the past.

It's so funny when you're actually directing because things start popping that you don't expect to pop and something that you think is going to pop maybe doesn't quite have the impetus that you thought it might.

The prospects for a coherent hilarious and consistent American comedy seem to lessen every year as the poor waterlogged gassy corpse called 'Evan Almighty' proved when it floated ashore recently. So there's a temptation to think too highly of Robin Williams's uneven but occasionally funny 'License to Wed.'

People forget how outcast 'They Might Be Giants' can be. They have a reputation for writing really deft funny clever melodies and they also make a lot of music for kids which is terrific but when you see them in concert they can rock the house.

It's funny how many people will come to Vegas to see your show where they might not come out to see you unless you come to their hometown.

There's also a certain rhythm to the way Jews talk that might be funny.

You know being relevant or coming up with something interesting funny to say about what's current is just as hard as it might ever be depending on the serendipity of it all.

I'm kidding about having only a few dollars. I might have a few dollars more.

The way taxes are you might as well marry for love.

I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.

My parents and librarians along the way taught me about the space between words about the margins where so many juicy moments of life and spirit and friendship could be found. In a library you could find miracles and truth and you might find something that would make you laugh so hard that you get shushed in the friendliest way.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

People ask me if I ever thought of writing a children's book. I say 'If I had a serious brain injury I might well write a children's book' but otherwise the idea of being conscious of who you're directing the story to is anathema to me because in my view fiction is freedom and any restraints on that are intolerable.

My name became known because I was one might say accidentally the target of state repression and because so many people throughout the country and other parts of the world organized around the demand for my freedom.

Yes we have the freedom to do what we please but it only works because we don't do everything we might please - we should exercise some degree of personal and corporate responsibility.

The nice thing about the Bible is it doesn't give you too many facts. Two an a half lines and it tells you the whole story and that leaves you a great deal of freedom to elaborate on how it might have happened.

The general interest of the masses might take the place of the insight of genius if it were allowed freedom of action.

I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.

For in the end freedom is a personal and lonely battle and one faces down fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged.

The ineffable joy of forgiving and being forgiven forms an ecstasy that might well arouse the envy of the gods.

We all thought of chicken as lean protein-rich food that's good for weight watching but the truth is chicken might actually be making us fatter!

It has long been known for sure that the sight of tasty food makes a hungry man's mouth water also lack of appetite has always been regarded as an undesirable phenomenon from which one might conclude that appetite is essentially linked with the process of digestion.

But once in a while you might see me at In and Out Burger they make the best fast food hamburgers around.

I heard about the project over a year before we began. My American agent said 'Oh you might want to read 'In Cold Blood' because they're talking about you for Capote but the script's with Johnny Depp and Sean Penn at the moment.' So these things take their time to dribble down the food chain.
