I can fathom anything, man. I love biting off more than I can chew and figuring it out.

Like comedy, horror has an ability to provoke thought and further the conversation on real social issues in a very powerful way.

Sometimes blessings come in strange packages.

I look at racism as one of the social demons. And, in its worst, it's violent and it's a systemic commitment to oppression.

The conversation about race is inevitable. It's one that people know that we have to have and continue to have.

A greater truth that I think we are faced with on a day-to-day basis as minorities is: We are the color of skin first and people second.

How we act with each other really reveals our most animal instincts.

[ When I met Barack Obama] He says, I do a pretty good me myself - he said something like that. But he's - he is a close talker. He's a touchy guy.

I just think racism is within each and every one of us. It's everyone's responsibility to figure out how they deal with this kind of obsolete instinct.

I think that human beings are the most awful monster we have ever seen.

Maybe America didn't need art and inner miracles. It had so many outer ones. The USA was a big operation, very big. The more it, the less we.

One of the obvious things that went wrong with Multics as a commercial success was just that it was sort of over-engineered in a sense. There was just too much in it.

I thought a forest was made up entirely of trees, but now I know that the foundation lies below ground, in the fungi.

I'm 100 percent Irish by birth, grew up Italian, and yet I constantly get cast as playing Jewish.

When I hear of anyone walking into a lab and walking out with animals, my heart sings.

There's no such thing as perfect people. There's no such thing as a perfect life. So come as you are, broken and scarred. Lift up your heart and be amazed and be changed by a perfect God.

Now I'm livin' out here on the beach, but those seagulls are still out of reach.

I know my heart will never be the same But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
