Although Kurt Vonnegut may not be considered a humor writer 'Breakfast of Champions' is one of the funniest books I've ever read.

I consider myself to have a decent sense of humor. What's life without a sense of humor?

I hope that I would be considered romantic. I don't know... one of my favorite movies is 'The Notebook' so I guess that would be considered romantic. But I think being romantic is more than the flowers and the gifts. It's about connecting with the person and being able to talk and share things with her.

I never make a movie for awards consideration. I will use the hope of getting an Academy Award a) to honor the people who work so hard and also b) it's the greatest Good Housekeeping seal in the world. It's the greatest brand. It's as good as Louis Vuitton and Dior in the world of moviemaking. It's the Super Bowl.

I don't consider myself to be a major talent so the only solace I can take is to hope I'm growing.

At a time when unbridled greed malignant aggression and existence of weapons of mass destruction threatens the survival of humanity we should seriously consider any avenue that offers some hope.

I hope when I'm dead I'll be considered an icon though.

When I consider life it is all a cheat. Yet fooled with hope people favor this deceit.

I've tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I'm afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred.

I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles the character of an honest man.
