Like navigation markings in unknown waters, definitions of poverty need to be distinctive and unambiguous. A definition that is not precise is as bad as no definition at all.
As long as I'm not taking a penalty we will be OK. But if it's like two years ago I will need a doctor.
Every band I've been in, it's just become my total life. I feel like a child star - I've missed out on so much. I never got to play Grand Theft Auto and get stoned every day. I figure at 45 I should probably start doing that.
I feel like women in comedy have staked out space for themselves and circled the wagons in this inspiring way to say that it's absolutely unacceptable and ludicrous to suggest that women aren't funny anymore in 2016. It just makes you look like a dinosaur.
For many people, the mortgages they took out before 2008 are so high that they would be better off walking away from their houses. That is called "jingle mail," returning the keys to the bank and saying, "You can have the house. I can buy the house next door that's just like this for 20% less, so I'm going to save money and switch. " That's what someone like Donald Trump or a real estate investor would do. But the banks are trying to convince the mortgage debtors, the homeowners, not to act in their own self-interest.
I think every girl needs to love herself, regardless of anything. Like if you're having a bad day, if you don't like your hair, if you don't have the best family situation, whatever, you have to love yourself and you can't do anything until you love yourself first.
Chance favors the well prepared. The more stuff you throw in, the more chances you have of looking like, 'I did that. '
When you see a girl like me bustin' perps, there ain't no time to be pretty.
Old age is somewhat like dieting. Every day there is less of us to be observed.
Land is the secure ground of home, the sea is like life, the outside, the unknown.
I really think the mind of someone who hasn't been welded into place by their work or studios or actors or this whole society is a wonderful mind to work with, so I'd like to do a big picture with an unknown director.
After many, many years, I fell out of love with politics. It's not something I like but it's the truth.
When I was a kid I ate sports books up, like "Winners Never Quit" by Phil Pepe. That was like my bible.
Some people don't believe in climate warning - like those who don't believe there was a Holocaust.
I only need one good friend to see me through. Most people aren't like that. Most people are always looking out for more people to know.
Love is like the lion’s tooth.
What you have now is a Hollywood that is pure poison. Hollywood was a central place in the history of art in the 20th century: it was human idealism preserved. And then, like any great place, it collapsed, and it collapsed into the most awful machinery in the world.
Casting is very instinctual. I really like to meet people. To me, it's about their essence more than their audition.
I feel that so many sci-fi films and films in general have just become really dependent on and addicted to CGI, and that some of the big CGI films of the summer, you see these effects that look like crap. You don't know if you're watching a cartoon or something that's real. And I didn't want to fall into that trap. I really thought there was a way to use a lot of these old techniques to do some new and really neat stuff.
. . . black music is a group music. That's why I don't like doing a solo saxophone thing: My feeling stems from rhythm, I really have to feel that rhythmic thing happening.
