There are moments when tribulations occur in our lives, and we cannot avoid them. But they are there for some reason.
I feel like people are funny, and women are people, so I'm sick of the distinction.
I felt like Jerry Lewis in France! Let the cast of Heroes go to France! The Office cast loves Scranton! The nicest people on earth are in Scranton. Thank you, Scranton for an experience we will take with us for the rest of our lives.
Obviously I've gone out of my way in my career to not look good, so it's always nice to, every once in a while, get the opposite going.
It's easy for people to strike if they're not working on a regular basis.
I think the whole concept that women aren't funny is dead. It's over; it's done.
I think the genetics of being Irish are that you sort of prefer when it's rainy and cloudy. It's just genetic.
When Lucas was doing Star Wars, he didn't have a 50 million person Facebook following where he could just sift through feedback to try to get an idea for what he was going to do next. It's a luxury we have today.
The church is not a political power; it's not a party, but it's a moral power.
Intellectuals. . . advertise their superiority to political practice but are absolutely in its thrall. . . . It is no accident that Marxist theory and practice use the intellectuals as tools and keep them in brutal subservience.
What you desire, as an actor, is to have an impact. That's why you did it. You want to move people, and you want to resonate with your audience. It's always a great compliment to have people appreciate and speak of the characters. I can go anywhere in the world, to places where people don't actually speak English, and people can say, verbatim, what I said on the show as Mr. Eko, which is great. That's fun!
