I could do nice, but it's just not as much fun. Being nice isn't my biggest goal in life. I'm trying to be honest about who I am, and that's not always nice. I'm not always the world's cheerleader.

I like to be bought flowers and taken out for dinner. I like a man to be a gentleman. I don't like to be treated as if I am brainless. I like to be respected and to give respect.

HBO is really famous for hiring good people and staying out of their way until they ask for help, or need it. And that reputation is earned.

I speak for the trees!

As long as you continue to run away from the world, I will not be able to show you your luminosity.

I'll tell you once, and I'll tell you again. There's always a prime between n and 2n.

We passed hieroglyphic scrolls, gold jewelry, sarcophagi, statues of pharaohs, and huge chunks of limestone. Why would someone display a rock? Aren't there enough of those in the world?

I get some flak for and some resistance from colleagues for because I'm interested in storytelling. I mean what I like about songwriting is songs used to tell a story.

You can’t embrace your whole life if you’re shut down.

I have grown up with guns all my life, but people who like assault weapons they should join the United States Army, we have them.

Maids want nothing but husbands, and when they have them, they want everything.
