I remember when first Stripes and then Animal House came out - which I was really proud of even though it was kind of loose and quite raucous - there were imitative movies that were not quite as good.

I don't watch the movies I make so I haven't seen 'Footloose' since it came out. You see this young hungry actor it's pretty fun. I was the only one they screen tested. It was an attempt by the director and producer to talk the head of the studio into hiring me because they didn't want me.

Doing nothing while the middle class is hurting. That's not leadership. Loose regulations and lax enforcement. That's not leadership. That's abandoning our middle class.

Leadership is diving for a loose ball getting the crowd involved getting other players involved. It's being able to take it as well as dish it out. That's the only way you're going to get respect from the players.

I'm terrible as I never take my make-up off at night which I know is really dreadful. Whenever I'm out partying I just can't be bothered and now I am on 'Loose Women' that tends to be all the time. I hope next year holds even more parties for me.

Hope is the struggle of the soul breaking loose from what is perishable and attesting her eternity.

It's funny the hardest thing to do is to make something look like it's fast loose and improvised and get somebody to laugh.

I've got to get on myself to be sharp funny and loose.

I have funny bones. If there's ever any kind of tension I'll always be the one to try and be funny to loosen things up.

All the characters in my films are fighting these problems needing freedom trying to find a way to cut themselves loose but failing to rid themselves of conscience a sense of sin the whole bag of tricks.
