Even if the hopes you started out with are dashed hope has to be maintained.

I hope to get out before they start football next year.

When you put something out there into the world there's all these words you don't want to hear that you hope people don't say. I don't like anything that starts with 're' - like retro reinvent recreate - I hate that. It's always like living in the past - copying emulating.

My fondest hope is that 'Roots' may start black white brown red yellow people digging back for their own roots. Man that would make me feel 90 feet tall.

I had a huge advantage when I started 50 years ago - my job was secure. I didn't have to promote myself. These days there's far more pressure to make a mark so the temptation is to make adventure television or personality shows. I hope the more didactic approach won't be lost.

Well Judy I would hope in the new year we could start thinking about politics not like it was the Super Bowl where you always have to have one team that wins and the other team has to be a loser.

The capacity for hope is the most significant fact of life. It provides human beings with a sense of destination and the energy to get started.

People always ask me if I'm going to stop modeling because I have started an acting career. I hope to continue to model for years to come.

Well I'm like a drug addict I'm always saying I'm going to stop and then I don't what I've said consistently is that I hope I know when to stop: when it starts to get repetitive.

If you start in the pit of despair with these profane awful things even a glimmer of hope or awareness is going to occur that's much brighter coming from this dark awful beginning.
