The things we know best are the things we haven't been taught.

There's a lot of great movies that have won the Academy Award and a lot of great movies that haven't. You just do the best you can.

Why don't you start believing that no matter what you have or haven't done that your best days are still out in front of you.

Beauty is only skin deep but it's a valuable asset if you're poor or haven't any sense.

I haven't seen Clones which has been during this period when I haven't seen much of anything but I did see Phantom Menace and see my feelings about it - see first of all I think that when you make a lot of movies your attitude about the movies changes.

Obama does not represent America. Nor does he represent anything what our forefathers stood for. This country is basically built on an attitude. It's a way of life. It's not because you're born here.
