Facelifting? Nein, dann würde ich ja alle diese großartigen Falten zerstören.

There's a rebel lying deep in my soul.

Je unsicherer ein Mensch ist, desto mehr neigt er zu extremen Vorurteilen.

Aging can be fun if you lay back and enjoy it.

Was auch immer ich getan habe - stets riet mir jemand davon ab.

Crimes against children are the most heinous crime. That, for me, would be a reason for capital punishment because children are innocent and need the guidance of an adult society.

Wenn man sich ansieht, was das Leben aus den Menschen macht, stellt man oft fest, daß sie ihr Scheitern selbst verursacht haben. Die Leute fürchten den Erfolg genauso sehr, wie sie das Versagen fürchten.

I was drafted during the Korean War. None of us wanted to go... It was only a couple of years after World War II had ended. We said, 'Wait a second? Didn't we just get through with that?'

God gave you a brain. Do the best you can with it. And you don't have to be Einstein, but Einstein was mentally tough. He believed what he believed. And he worked out things. And he argued with people who disagreed with him. But I'm sure he didn't call everybody jerks.

We boil at different degrees.

If you're doing a biography, you try to stay as accurate as possible to reality. But you really don't know what was going on in the person's mind. You just know what was going on in the minds of people around him.

Some people feel that the world owes them a living.

I had three points I wanted to make: That not everybody in Hollywood is on the left, that Obama has broken a lot of the promises he made when he took office, and that the people should feel free to get rid of any politician who's not doing a good job.

If you want a guarantee, buy a toaster.

President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.
