One thing I was thinking about is that they probably get their come-uppance about the same percentage that people in real life do. Basically stealing for all practical purposes might as well be legal in New York.

Learning to drive is a scary thing for a parent. I had to basically lie to get the keys when I was a kid.

Isn't one of your first exercises in learning how to communicate to write a description of how to tie your shoelaces? The point being that it's basically impossible to use text to show that.

I believe that it is irresponsible it is basically part of the crisis of leadership in D.C. to not look at Social Security and understand that there has got to be a solution posed. We've got to take a look at it and make sure that we create a solution so our seniors aren't left out in the cold.

That was really so upsetting when you are trying to pass on some very serious knowledge and be basically treated worse than a student coming off the street because his father pays the tuition. Come on. Give me a break. This is no school. This is a joke.

It's clear that people are going to download media files and they're going to talk to each other and they're going to exchange information and knowledge and so forth. So this system logic is basically what you bounce off of.

Basically I was a rebel growing up. I got kicked out of six schools. But I don't think that it makes you less of an intellect. You know if you ever crave knowledge there's always a library.

Well the fact is that one imagination is critically important and if you have had your imagination stimulated by what is basically a variety of subjects you are much more amenable to accepting to understanding and interacting with the realities of the world.

I do as much comedy as I possibly can but I'm basically limited by the imagination of the secretaries who make the decisions.

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.

If you know that life is basically going to be horrendously difficult at best and all but unlivable at worst or possibly even unlivable do you go on? And the choice to go on is the only thing that I think can be called hope. Because if hope isn't forced to encounter the worst possibility then it's a lie.

I hope we never get to the point that we put ourselves in Jesus' place. But when I read the New Testament basically we get three mandates: to love God to love each other and to take care of the least among us. And I think this is at least a step in the right direction.

The reason I never give up hope is because everything is so basically hopeless.

I've always thought my soundtracks do pretty good because they're basically professional equivalents of a mix tape I'd make for you at home.

Basically I believe the world is a jungle and if it's not a bit of a jungle in the home a child cannot possibly be fit to enter the outside world.

Basically my wife was immature. I'd be at home in the bath and she'd come in and sink my boats.

I think I was a good student because I jumped over a school. My main interest was basically history and literature. Sports were basically basketball and swimming at a pool. I was so happy.

I basically believe the medical insurance industry should be nonprofit not profit-making. There is no way a health reform plan will work when it is implemented by an industry that seeks to return money to shareholders instead of using that money to provide health care.

I'm 58 years old and I just went through 8 back surgeries. They started cutting on me in February 2009 and I was basically bed ridden for almost two years. I got a real dose of reality that if you don't have your health you don't have anything.

I learned that people everywhere are basically the same and have similar goals that we do. They want health and happiness and the opportunity to provide for their families.

And here's the fact: the fact is it doesn't solve the problem. First of all if you taxed these people at 100 percent basically next year you said 'Look every penny you make next year the government's going to take it from you ' it still doesn't solve the debt.

This is a government takeover of our healthcare system. It is the government basically running the entire healthcare system turning large insurers into de facto public utilities depriving people of choice depriving people of options raising people's prices raising taxes when we need new jobs.

Protecting the rights of even the least individual among us is basically the only excuse the government has for even existing.

My mother was a good recreational cook but what she basically believed about cooking was that if you worked hard and prospered someone else would do it for you.
