I don't think Hollywood knows what to do with me. I would imagine that when it comes to romantic comedies my name would be pretty low down on the list.

Everyone who knows me knows that I'm a hopeless romantic who listens to love ballads and doo-wop songs all the time.

You cannot trust 25 guys in a locker room to have the same respect and training as I do with a weapon. That I do understand. I've carried a gun for 10 years. I've carried them in the locker room and nobody really knows about it. I know how to handle myself.

I'm getting my respect as a video director. The fashion industry respects me and knows who I am.

When you have fans who are hassling you the entire game and you ignore them they respect you because their job is to try and distract you. And if they don't distract you that means you're focused on doing your job. And who knows by the end sometimes you even win them over.

There's one advantage in having been around as long as I have. Everybody in the Senate knows me and - I'm going to say something presumptuous to repeat myself - I think most respect me.

Our religion is itself profoundly sad - a religion of universal anguish and one which because of its very catholicity grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man's own language - so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.

Power gravitates to the man who knows how.

What this power is I cannot say all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it.

Every man who knows how to read has it in his power to magnify himself to multiply the ways in which he exists to make his life full significant and interesting.
