For most of my career, I've played roles that were written for other actresses. Far from being the product of a democratic revolution and of an opposition to English institutions, the constitution of the United States was the result of a powerful reaction against democracy, and in favor of the traditions of the mother country. I have to be happy in the here and now because every time you start focusing on your legacy you're really setting yourself up for disappointment. Enough people have now mentioned Bill Nye the Science Guy to me that I now desperately avoid it all costs. The President's call for more math and science students is not being heeded by his party's leaders in Congress. They are cutting over $10 billion from student aide while refusing to fully fund No Child Left Behind. Something doesn't add up. I've had my share of doing things that I really wish I hadn't done. Impudence is the worst of all human diseases. Love in all eight tones and all five semitones of the word's full octave. God not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen. And I'm walking along and we're laughing, kidding, joking, and see he understood the leader, the one we called the leader, had some knowledge of English, although limited. What would be ugly in a garden constitutes beauty in a mountain. As long as my pictures go into theaters and we ask people to pay to see what I do on the screen, I should not object if customers want to know what kind of man I am. I collaborated on most of my dance numbers, literally 50/50, with the choreographers I worked with. One of the reasons I loved working with Tom is people feel they know who he is... I think working with an actor who the audience already has a relationship with actually helps you in a film like this. Never ever discount the idea of marriage. Sure, someone might tell you that marriage is just a piece of paper. Well, so is money, and what's more life-affirming than cold, hard cash? Color can do anything that black-and-white can. The seeded draw came into being. This means that the two best players of the tournament are placed in opposite halves in the draw, and cannot possibly meet until the finals, if they come through successfully against all the rest of the participants. I'm like the drunk in the bar who wants just one more for the road. I believe that if a man wanted to walk on water, and was prepared to give up everything in life, he could do it. I want to make music that somehow connects to the things that I love in America music. I have a particular affliction. I am unable to say a word I can't spell. I absolutely adore working in the realms of fantasy. My definition of an executive's job is brief and to the point. It is simply this: Getting things done through other people. Cotton Owens was leading and daddy was second. They came up on me and I moved over to let them pass. Cotton went on, but daddy bumped me in the rear and my car went right into the wall. I do what is needed. I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. I have always thought music as a way out of the ordinary mundane obligations of life. Again, it may be said, that to love justice and equality the people need no great effort of virtue; it is sufficient that they love themselves. I'm a simple man. All I want is enough sleep for two normal men, enough whiskey for three, and enough women for four. On the contrary, I'm a strong believer in the necessity of imperfection coming into the film. I could not tell you the date of my mother's death. I could not tell you the date of my dad's death. These are not dates that I find significant. Even if the doctor does not give you a year, even if he hesitates about a month, make one brave push and see what can be accomplished in a week. We grew up with so much love in our family. If I haven't made myself clear, this worrisome chain of events describes the game of the nineteenth century.
