I'm in no hurry to get anywhere. I don't have any plans. I don't have a map. If you did in this business, you'd destroy yourself.

My father joined our party because the Democrats in Jim Crow Alabama of 1952 would not register him to vote. The Republicans did.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.

I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which, when looked at in the right way did not become still more complicated.

The secret to a long marriage in the film industry? Marry someone wonderful, as I did. And always have her come along on location.

Life is too short to be scared and not take risks. I'd rather be the person that's like, 'I messed up,' than, 'I wish I did that.'

I never desired to please the rabble. What pleased them, I did not learn; and what I knew was far removed from their understanding.

It is true I am rather taken up with dress; but as to feathers, every one wears them, and it would seem extraordinary if I did not.

Some people go to bed at night thinking, 'That was a good day.' I am one of those who worries and asks, 'How did I screw up today?'

I was actually going to school to be a chiropractor but was also succeeding at bodybuilding - I did well in a few national contests.

The funny thing about history is that we imagine that people didn't laugh in the old days, but of course they did, at stupid things.

Uh, I do not wear a wig in 'Star Trek' like I did in 'Bottle Shock,' thank God. 'Bottle Shock' will be the last wig movie I ever do.

I am the type where I don't worry about anything else but how to top what I did yesterday. My main goal is to top what I did before.

I don't normally cook, but if I did it probably would be beans, sausage, bacon and eggs. I never really get to eat that to be honest.

I did it to myself. It wasn't society... it wasn't a pusher, it wasn't being blind or being black or being poor. It was all my doing.

I wasn't naturally gifted in terms of size and speed; everything I did in hockey I worked for, and that's the way I'll be as a coach.

I really did like 'The Wolf of Wall Street.' But not seeing women represented in that world, it definitely had less resonance for me.

I think all great players set a target for themselves in their careers. Mine was to win a world title with Brazil, which I did twice.

I did not come to PSG to have a good time, but to work with humility, desire and above all to win titles because that's what we love.

I did not direct my life. I didn't design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That's what life is.

The most important lesson I've learned in this business is how to say no. I have said no to a lot of temptations, and I am glad I did.

I went to prison; therefore, I've been rehabilitated, and now I want to get on with my life. I have paid for what I did, end of story.

I was extreme... from skateboarder to hip-hopper to rave child to lead singer of a rock band - I did it all, and all at the same time.

Life is about having a good time, and it was a good time. We did some things well and some things poorly, but that was always the case.

Thus the metric system did not really catch on in the States, unless you count the increasing popularity of the nine-millimeter bullet.

I did almost every job in the bank. It was real life, waking up in the morning, putting on a suit and tie and then having to go to work.

When I did 'The Great Escape,' I kept thinking, 'If they were making a movie of my life, that's what they'd call it - the great escape.'

When I was as you are now, towering in the confidence of twenty-one, little did I suspect that I should be at forty-nine, what I now am.

Seems like God don't see fit to give the black man nothing but dreams - but He did give us children to make them dreams seem worthwhile.

Sometimes we're so concerned about giving our children what we never had growing up, we neglect to give them what we did have growing up.

Everything I did, all my actions, all of the problems I had I dedicate to God and to Chile, because I kept Chile from becoming Communist.

You raise taxes during an economic crisis time, as we did in - back in the time of Herbert Hoover, you send the country into a depression.

All the NFL players I have examined pathologically, I have not seen one that did not have changes in their brain system with brain damage.

What most did not understand then was that I was not only married to the man I loved, but I was also married to the movement that I loved.

My mother taught me about the power of inspiration and courage, and she did it with a strength and a passion that I wish could be bottled.

Learning and innovation go hand in hand. The arrogance of success is to think that what you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow.

Beating cancer is personal battle. It was one of the toughest opponents I have faced so far, and I think I did reasonably well. Touch wood.

I have no tattoos at all - it was a huge undertaking for me in the '80s to let my parents know I was piercing my ear when I did 'L.A. Law.'

I was born in Jerusalem with a religious background and a rabbi as a father... it was rather poor, but what we did have, we did have books.

My daughter's absolute go-to is Sasha Banks. However, we did do the 'Dance Break' one time in Chicago, so she keeps talking about Carmella.

'Tulip Fever' did change my life. It did that thing that sometimes happens when a book takes off - it opened doors on to whole other worlds.

I did a book in 1996, an overview of black history. In that process I became more aware of a lot of the black inventors of the 19th century.

I was a semi-professional gymnast as a child. I did rhythmic gymnastics, but I sustained an injury and strained all the muscles in my spine.

I would not want compliments that 'I can do different roles'. I want compliments that whatever I did, I did nicely. That's how I see acting.

I was not a big fan of the Attitude Era. Some of the things they did were very good and very funny but I was never a fan of the sleazy stuff.

My natural color is dark blond, but right now I like being a brunette. I did a movie last summer and they dyed my hair platinum - I hated it.

I totally hate when somebody takes a classic and desecrates it. I like Jimmy Page and P. Diddy, but what they did to 'Kashmir' was a debacle.

Eskimo: 'If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?' Priest: 'No, not if you did not know.' Eskimo: 'Then why did you tell me?'

I made odd noises as a child. Just did weird things, like turn off light switches twice. I think my parents thought I had Tourette's syndrome.

The people who did you wrong or who didn't quite know how to show up, you forgive them. And forgiving them allows you to forgive yourself too.
