I am thankful I was born in America although if I gain any more weight the burqa thing may start to seem like a good idea to me. See? Another plus about America you can always find some food.

Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in lightly.

One of the funny things about the stock market is that every time one person buys another sells and both think they are astute.

The propensity to truck barter and exchange one thing for another is common to all men and to be found in no other race of animals.

People may believe that there can be a society where dissent is not permitted but which is nonetheless not a fear society because everyone agrees with one another and therefore no one wants to dissent.

Some days it is a heroic act just to refuse the paralysis of fear and straighten up and step into another day.

I'm afraid of being average. I have a real fear of being just another linebacker.

Another parent's different approach raises the possibility that you've made a mistake with your child. We simply can't tolerate that because we fear that any mistake no matter how minor could have devastating consequences. So we proclaim the superiority of our own choices. We've lost sight of the fact that people have preferences.

People don't know where to place me. Terry Gilliam used me as a quirky cop in 'Twelve Monkeys' and then he hired me again to be an effeminate hotel clerk in 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'. Another time I was shooting this indie film 'The Souler Opposite' and six days a week I'm playing this big puppy dog then I come to the 'NYPD Blue' set and become this scumbag.

Wit is so shining a quality that everybody admires it most people aim at it all people fear it and few love it unless in themselves. A man must have a good share of wit himself to endure a great share of it in another.

Falsehood is invariably the child of fear in one form or another.

The public is not to see where power lies how it shapes policy and for what ends. Rather people are to hate and fear one another.

Similarly another famous little quantum fluctuation that programs you is the exact configuration of your DNA.

I studied Hitchcock a little bit at University and knew the famous story about the Birds - that he'd tortured Tippi for a day using real birds. I had no idea that it was a five-day onslaught and that it was the tip of an iceberg that carried on through to another film.

I know I have this level of celebrity of fame international national whatever you want to call it but it's a pretty surreal thing to think sometimes that you're in the middle of another famous person's life and you think to yourself 'How the hell did I get famous? What is this some weird club that we're in?'

I was never very interested in boys - and there were plenty of them - vying with one another to see how many famous women they would get into the hay.

I wish I had an extra day with my mom sometimes. Or another hour in the day with my family husband and children.

I want to deal with somebody who comes from another country to the United States and has a family that comes. I don't care if it's a black family from Jamaica or a Hispanic family from Mexico. These issues need to be dealt with but they need to be dealt with in the entertaining way.

One person may need (or want) more leisure another more work one more adventure another more security and so on. It is this diversity that makes a country indeed a state a city a church or a family healthy. 'One-size-fits-all ' and that size determined by the State has a name and that name is 'slavery.'

From very early on in my childhood - four five years old - I felt alien to the human race. I felt very comfortable with thinking I was from another planet because I felt disconnected - I was very tall and skinny and I didn't look like anybody else I didn't even look like any member of my family.

If you go from a structure where you have the support and that partner and that construction of a family and that's broken apart I think that's probably a lot harder than always being a single mom and having the father being a support in another area.

In the family sandwich the older people and the younger ones can recognize one another as the bread. Those in the middle are for a time the meat.

I understand what it's like to come with your family and to uproot yourself and come to another culture. You need a lot of support. People say 'She's got her daughter she's got her husband.' Yeah but she hasn't got anyone else.
