In my deepest parts of sadness, I'm always making a joke or being sarcastic.

Red Dawn was really the most fun I ever had making a movie, because I love Westerns, and I love the idea of being a tomboy, and riding horses and shooting guns.

I am content and happy with my situation and like the flexibility that comes with being self-employed. And it's nice to know that I can contribute something to society

If you want to express your creativity, then don't choose a path where someone else tells you what to do and how to do it. Choose a path where creativity is rewarded, not punished.

When I play on my fiddle in Dooney Folk dance like a wave on the sea.

Our favorite attitude should be gratitude.
