You can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humor in anything even poverty you can survive it.

Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven.

Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense dancing.

A joke is a very serious thing.

It is my fervent hope and prayer that by exposing my mistakes and by pointing out the things that were a part of my early life some who might be following the same paths might not make those same mistakes.

I still have I hope a lot of years and there are still a lot of things I want to do.

I tried to use words that were dealing with the emotional quality that any human being could recognize in the way that they felt about their country. It's to do with the world we live in. That world is a brutal one and full of war. It's also full of many wonderful things and love and hope.

The one thing I would hope would go on my tombstone is 'I made my parents proud.'

I've had nine of my books adapted to film and almost all were enjoyable. I've been very lucky with Hollywood and look forward to more movies being adapted. But I don't get involved in that process. I know nothing about making movies and I stay away from it and hope for the best.

You don't know what someone's going to walk away from a movie with but you hope it's something positive but if nothing you want them most basically to be entertained and engaged. That's your job. But you also hope to give them something to chew on or maybe some insight into the human existence you hope a little bit. Not to sound too lofty.

My hope is that we will turn Greece into maybe the most transparent country in the world with everything on the web.

Next year I hope there will be even more parties lots of holidays and just having a good time really. Plus wing-walking air shows and learning to fly as they are all things I want to do. I won't be restricted by age.

In live action movies you just hope that everything works. Because the actor may had a bad morning and doesn't play good or accidents happen continuously. Many things contradict what you are trying to say. But in cartoons nothing contradict what you want to say.

Whatever I do I hope it's quality I hope it's something that's class.

You travel with the hope that something unexpected will happen. It has to do with enjoying being lost and figuring it out and the satisfaction. I always get a little disappointed when I know too well where I'm going or when I've lived in a place so long that there's no chance I could possibly get lost.

I hope that I would be considered romantic. I don't know... one of my favorite movies is 'The Notebook' so I guess that would be considered romantic. But I think being romantic is more than the flowers and the gifts. It's about connecting with the person and being able to talk and share things with her.

When I was a kid my father didn't really have much hope for me. He thought I was a dreamer he didn't think I would amount to anything. My mother also.

When I go to a concert I can't help but feel happy and everything else just goes away. I hope everyone feels that way at my concerts.

Chemistry is not anything an executive producer or writer can orchestrate or plan you just hope for it.

Structure is one of the things that I always hope will reveal itself to me.

Tragedy is restful: and the reason is that hope that foul deceitful thing has no part in it.

Jake Roberts has a hard enough time being Jake Roberts. The truth is a brutal thing I just hope that the kids take the time to learn about each of the wrestlers in the game and if the kids can learn from our mistakes that would make me a happy man.

To not be self-conscious of your appearance is huge and something that I desperately hope to carry into film at some point in my useless life - to not be thinking 'My ear looks weird from this angle why is the camera over there?'

I'm a vegetarian and very much active in regards to how I feel about animal rights and protecting animals and giving animals a voice. But at the same time I appreciate and respect other people's decisions to eat meat. The only thing that I hope is that people are educated that they're aware that they're living a conscious lifestyle.
