Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.

When I sit at my table to write I never know what it's going to be until I'm under way. I trust in inspiration which sometimes comes and sometimes doesn't. But I don't sit back waiting for it. I work every day.

I never trust a fighting man who doesnt smoke or drink.

Writing doesn't come real easy to me. I couldn't write a novel in a year. It wouldn't be readable. I don't let an editor even look at it until the second year because it would just scare them. I just have to trust that all these scraps and dead-ends will find a way.

Science doesn't in the slightest depend on trust. It depends completely on the belief that you can demonstrate something for yourself.

I used to have trust with reporters. Give them scoops. Those were the old days. It's very strange when you give a story and it doesn't come out the right way.

Now where people are - at least the people I talk to - they are focused on issues of trust. Accountability also comes up to make sure that this doesn't happen again.

I don't trust that many people. Just my mother and my wife and a couple of friends. When I trust people it doesn't end well.

You just have to trust your instincts and hope that if someone doesn't like your idea you can prove them wrong in the final process. In the end you can please some of the people some of the time but that's about all you can do.

I had this totally impossible dream of being an actress. Trust me just because I'm lucky enough to be doing this doesn't make any of this less of a pipe dream. And nothing gets my juices flowing like a really great performance. To see someone on stage I get really excited.

All I can hope to do is instill great morality in my son and trust him along the way. The music he listens to or how he chooses to wear his hair doesn't define his moral compass and if he wants to listen to country music and wear a cowboy hat too that's fine.

It doesn't make any sense... that's why I trust it!

You can't trust politicians. It doesn't matter who makes a political speech. It's all lies - and it applies to any rock star who wants to make a political speech as well.

The only kind of seafood I trust is the fish stick a totally featureless fish that doesn't have eyeballs or fins.

Will some reporter or some Republican on the Sunday shows please ask why tax cuts raid the non-existent Social Security Trust Fund but all the Democrats' new spending doesn't? Will someone please ask that?

A lot of people say that comedy doesn't travel well. I found it very accessible.

As a person I was born to give out my opinions. By giving out my opinions I realize who I am. As long as I can communicate I'm not so lonely. If I cannot travel or do art or have company if they take away all my belongings it doesn't matter at all.

Dealing with global warming doesn't mean we have all got to suddenly stop breathing. Dealing with global warming means that we have to stop waste and if you travel for no reason whatsoever that is a waste.

When I write stuff and I help cast it I turn away good people all the time. I may turn them down because this one's too tall and that one doesn't have a high enough voice or this one looks to old to match up with that one - there's a billion reasons not to hire somebody.

Saying goodbye doesn't mean anything. It's the time we spent together that matters not how we left it.

I like Mitt Romney as a person. I think he's a dignified person. But I have no common ground on economics. He doesn't worry about the Federal Reserve. He doesn't worry about foreign policy. He doesn't talk about civil liberties so I would have a hard time to expect him to ever invite me to campaign with him.

The time to save is now. When a dog gets a bone he doesn't go out and make a down payment on a bigger bone. He buries the one he's got.

The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.

Just because you have teenagers in a movie doesn't make it a teen movie.
