The 2012 London Olympic Games fostered a generation of hope. I witnessed women participating for the very first time representing every nation.

I think my generation it's hard to have hope when you got a $700-trillion derivatives debt to pay and a bubble about to explode and $500 trillion worth of GDP.

Counting is the religion of this generation it is its hope and its salvation.

I see the whole concept of Generation X implies that everyone has lost hope.

We have three generations at home including my father-in-law. I keep a very low profile and a lot of things I do are very much with the family in mind. I have actually made films with the family around me.

Most of us in the baby-boom generation were raised by full-time mothers. Even as recently as 14 years ago 6 out of 10 mothers with babies were staying at home. Today that is totally reversed. Does that mean we love our children less than our mothers loved us? No but it certainly causes a lot of guilt trips.

I'm the fourth generation to be in show business. It's pretty neat it's nice to have that family history.

America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.

Everybody knows they're on the Obama team: There isn't vice presidential vs. presidential division there's not a generational pull. People have internalized that this is a real moment in history.

It is always self-defeating to pretend to a generation younger than your own it simply erases your own experience in history.
