For a lot of people, if they're lucky, it begins with somebody who recognizes something in them.

I wouldn't mind having another shot at doing comedy, but I'm not sure that's the way I'd want to go.

I'm not sure I always feel like I'm in the seat. Sometimes I'm only holding on by one hand and flying out behind the roller coaster. I don't know anybody who doesn't feel that way.

The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men Gang aft a-gley And leave us nought but grief and pain For promised joy.

Counting obligations under Medicare and Social Security, the real debt of the United States is more than 10 times the reported national debt.

Happy the man who from the sea escapes the storm and finds harbor.
