It's been a difficult thing because some great opportunities have come and I've just been holding my breath and praying... I'm basically gambling hoping something will come along this season and if not I don't know what the future holds.

Comedy was the key to everything. I grew up fast and controlled my future by bringing it on faster than it naturally unfolded. I cheated myself out of a childhood but then got a running headstart into adulthood that no one else could keep up with.

I never have plans for the future as you never know how things will turn out.

I never remember having a plan. All I could think about was how I was going to afford to get into college or where I was going to stay because I hated being at home. I didn't really have time to think about anything in the future. I didn't think about a career or anything. I went to uni got a couple of jobs so I sort of funded it myself.

I feel like I write songs for the future or something. Not in an arrogant way but I feel like maybe my songs were like before their time or something.

We are all afraid for our confidence for the future for the world. That is the nature of the human imagination. Yet every man every civilization has gone forward because of its engagement with what it has set itself to do.

Since we can't know what knowledge will be most needed in the future it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned.

I think Gingrich has embarrassed the party over time. Whether he'll do it again in the future I don't know. But Gov. Romney never has.

You have reckoned that history ought to judge the past and to instruct the contemporary world as to the future. The present attempt does not yield to that high office. It will merely tell how it really was.

It is difficult to live in the present ridiculous to live in the future and impossible to live in the past. Nothing is as far away as one minute ago.
