Space... The final frontier...These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: To explore strange new worlds...To seek out new life; new civilizations...To boldly go where no one has gone before!
Make it so.
Engage.
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.
Part of having feelings is learning to integrate them into your life, Data, ...learning to live with them. No matter what the circumstances ... Sometimes it takes courage to try, Data. Courage can be an emotion too.
Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived. After all, Number One, we're only mortal.
Reports of my assimilation are greatly exaggerated.
The line must be drawn here! This far, no farther!
If there is one ideal that the Federation holds most dear, it is that all men, all races can be united.
If your issues are with me, then deal with me. This has nothing to do with my ship, nothing to do with the Federation!
Buried deep within you, beneath all the years of pain and anger, there is something that has never been nurtured: the potential to make yourself a better man. And that is what it is to be human. To make yourself more than you are.

Happy Birthday Mark Hamill!
I think 'Comic Book: The Movie' is the apex of my career in terms of making a personal statement that has significance to me and resonates with biographical detail about not only my career, but all the people that I've worked with in my career. All of it's riddled, on- and off-camera, with people I've known and worked with for decades.
I have a sneaking suspicion that if there were a way to make movies without actors, George Lucas would do it.
I always think a day when you never get out of your pajamas is a win.
'Star Wars' is more fairy tale than true science fiction.
I've learned that the movies Star Wars will never finally end. It just goes on and on and on and on. I mean, it's going to be in 3D, then it's going to be smellivision, then it's going to be a ride in an amusement park, then they'll come to your house and perform it with puppets on your lawn ... it'll never end! I accepted that a long time ago.
I can't tell you how much we laughed on the set to have Alec Guinness in a scene with a big, furry dog that's flying a space ship.
LOVE your taste in subject matter... perfect summer reading!
I'm so much like Luke Skywalker I guess I always will be.
I have a sneaking suspicion that if there were a way to make movies without actors, George Lucas would do it.
When I was involved with 'Star Wars,' I was very interested in all the backstories, and I used to pepper George with all kinds of questions about anything that crossed my mind, because I was very, very into it. But when the job came to an end, I had to move on.
Acting in "Star Wars", I felt like a raisin in a giant fruit salad, and I didn't even know who the cantaloupes were.
In high school, I had to hide my comic book side, my nerd side from the civilian world so they wouldn't categorize me. They would try to marginalize me for what I like. I tried to give it up, believe me. I tried to kick the habit. But there's too much I liked about it to give it up completely.
I had the accident way before Star Wars came out, but what really happened has been terribly distorted. I broke my nose, that's it! But I've read accounts about how my face has been reconstructed with plastic surgery and how I was pulling myself along the highway with one arm looking for help. I even heard that I drove off a cliff! That's the best one of all.
At the last Celebration I spoke before an auditorium full of people and I could just feel the affection and the positive feelings that they were exuding. It was actually moving. I remember thinking, 'I'm not worthy,' because 'Star Wars' is so much bigger than all of us.
The idea of The Force is basically "Religion's Greatest Hits".
People think being remembered most for one character is a negative thing, but I don't. I never expected to be remembered for anything!
You know where comes from? It's not so much from the industry ... but the 9-year-old kid who looks at you like a cross between Superman and Santa Claus. And you'd have to be a really, really hardened cynic not to be moved by that. Not only that, but just doing the interviews for this animation series, I can't tell you how many people have said, 'I got into the business because of that movie.' ... I totally understand that because I remember walking out of Jason and the Argonauts and saying, 'I don't know how they got those skeletons to fight, but someday I want that to be my job. To make skeletons fight.'
Part of me always longed to do just one more film and see what Luke would be like now that he's on the level of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the student having become the master. But it was not meant to be.
I think theater has given me the opportunity to show what a character actor I can be.
I have failed 'Star Wars' trivia tests. People come up to me at conventions and use terms that I've never heard of.
I love comic books.
I'm surprised at people who have a passion for Mitt Romney, because he's taken every position there is. I would cast this guy as the president in a heartbeat... but I just cannot believe a word he says.
I'm waiting for my body to catch up with my age.
I love ensemble pieces, I love being a part of the entire tapestry of a piece, but I think character actors do have a lot more fun, and there's a versatility involved that's challenging and fun, to come up to speed and do what's required of you.
I've been married to a dental hygienist for years and if you think I haven't heard "Use the Floss" you'd be mistaken.
I don't think it's fair to compare Dick Cheney to Vader - it's unfair to Vader.
To be honest with you, sure. I'm human. I mean, I like ice cream, but I don't eat it three times a day. And I've forgotten a lot of it. If I was still working on it, it might be different, but I've put it in perspective. I want to be supportive without being critical, but it's not mine anymore.
So much of life is what you roll and where you land.
Actually, Harrison and I never fought in either picture. It was Carrie and I who had the screaming matches from time to time, though afterward neither of us could remember what they were about.
I love actors, number one. There's probably nobody that you could name that I don't like, depending on what it is they're in.
If you don't vote for Barack Obama, you're insane. 'Cause without him, I think the middle class will completely disappear.
When you say 'comic book' in America, people think of Mickey Mouse, and Archie. It has a connotation of juvenile.
Ireland you are wonderful! Love the country, love the people!
I will say that comic books are not the easiest things to translate to film, number one. Even the most well meaning of filmmakers find what's acceptable on the printed page is very difficult to bring to film.
When I saw The Dark Knight I just was amazed at what an original take that it was. I mean, he was joyless and was all but a heroin addict. It was tremendous. I mean, what an accomplishment! I've never seen such a Tom-centric performance since Hannibal Lecter where he creeped you out with that slithery tongue. I thought it was so original. Whether it was the screenwriter or Heath Ledger or Christopher Nolan or all three combined. It's like an alternate reality and that's as valid a Joker as anything that has ever been done. Mine is sort of old school comic book and that's fine but I just have to take my hat off to all of them. I thought they were fantastic.
As an actor that would be more fun to play. I just thought that's the way it was going from when we finished. I figured that's what will be the pivotal moment. I'll have to come back, but it will be I have Han Solo in my crosshairs and I'll be about to kill him or about to kill the Princess or about to kill somebody that we care about. It's an old cornball movie, like World War II movies.
You know how there are some stars out there who know how to market themselves? I don't have that.
But to make a long story short, after doing that one episode, they called a few months later and said, "Would you be interested in auditioning for The Joker." And I thought, "Of course. I'll do that. I'll never get it, because my association with Luke Skywalker is going to preclude me from being considered." I remember the controversy when they cast Michael Keaton as Batman, just because he was a more comedic actor. So anyway, without having any fear that I was getting it, I went in and just let it rip. And I had been on the road and on Broadway doing Amadeus so long that I had an arsenal of giggles and laughs that I used for Mozart. That was one of the requirements of that role: It startled Salieri in the Viennese court that this man that was capable of writing this celestial music had a donkey bray of a laugh that was just so unsettling. It just didn't fit with who they thought he was. And I had to play around with that laugh a lot. When you do eight a week, just to keep it interesting I had a huge palette of different kinds of laughs. And the only reason I say all this is because later I said, "What got me the part, by the way?" And they said, "Oh, it was your laugh. It was your maniacal laugh that really sealed the deal."
A cartoonist creates his whole universe without any input.
It's never easy to lose such a vital, irreplaceable member of the family, but this is downright heartbreaking. Carrie was a one-of-a-kind who belonged to us all-whether she liked it or not. She was OUR Princess, damn it, and the actress who played her blurred into one gorgeous, fiercely independent and ferociously funny take-charge woman took our collective breath away. Determined and tough, but with a vulnerability that made you root for her and want her to succeed and be happy. She played such a crucial role in my professional and personal life, and both would have been far emptier without her. I am grateful for the laughter, the wisdom, the kindness and even the bratty self-indulgent crap my beloved space-twin gave me through the years. Thanks, Carrie. I love you.
I debated in high school! If you told things that weren't true or just made things out of whole cloth, you were penalized. It's too bad they don't apply the same standards to presidential candidates as they do to high school students.
We occupied a unique area in each other's lives. It was like we were in a garage band together that somehow hit it huge. We had no idea the impact Star Wars would have on the world. I remember we were out on tour right before the movie opened. By the time, we got to Chicago, there was a crowd at the airport. I said, hey look, you guys, there must be somebody famous on the plane. I was looking around to see who it might be. And then in the crowd I saw a kid dressed in a Han Solo vest. Then I saw girl dressed like Princess Leia. I said, oh my God, look, Carrie, there's somebody dressed just like you. She's got the buns on her head! The first time I met Carrie was at dinner in London before we started filming together. I had been the first one to go over to Africa with Sir Alec Guinness and the robots, to film all the desert planet stuff, then I came back to London and then Harrison Ford came over. Carrie was the last piece in the puzzle to come to London. So, I said to the production office, I'd like to meet her before we work together. They worked out that we'd meet for dinner. You know, she was 19 years old at the time. I was a worldly 24 years old. So, I was thinking, oh my God what it'll be like working with a high school kid. But I was just bowled over. I mean she was just so instantly ingratiating and funny and outspoken. She had a way of just being so brutally candid. I had just met her but it was like talking to a person you'd known for ten years. She was telling me stuff about her stepfather, about her mom, about Eddie Fisher, it was just harrowing in its detail. I kept thinking, Should I know this? I mean, I wouldn't have shared that with somebody that I had trusted for years and years and years. But she was the opposite. She just sucked you into her world. I was so middle class. Growing up, the closest thing to a celebrity we had was our next-door neighbor, who was a baggage handler who returned Jerry Lewis' wallet that fell on the tarmac in San Diego. But she was something completely different. She dropped out of high school to be in the chorus of Irene on Broadway. I was just in awe of her. She was so committed to joy and fun and embracing life. She had an Auntie Mame quality to her. I would do crazy things to amuse her on the set. Making her laugh was always a badge of honor. I remember during Empire we were split up story wise; it was a difficult film to shoot and there was a lot of tension on the set. I was off in the swampland with the puppets and robots, but at least Carrie and Harrison got to work with human beings. Once at lunchtime she said, you should try on my jumpsuit. I said, The one-piece white jumpsuit? You're what, five foot two inches? I'll never get in! She said, just try it. I put on that Princess Leia zipper jump suit and it was so tight I looked like a Vegas lounge singer. If that wasn't ridiculous enough, she had me put on one of those bald cap masks with the Bozo hair and glasses and nose and then she walked me around the back lot. The lengths I would go to hear her laugh, there were no limits. I loved her and loved making her laugh. She would do these crazy things and make me do these crazy things, but I really don't think they were crazy after all. In a way, it was a defense mechanism for her. She was so off the wall, she could use it as protection. Part of what was so poignant about her was that she was vulnerable, that there was this glimmer of a little girl that was so appealing and it roused the protective nature in my personality. I'm grateful that we stayed friends and got to have this second act with the new movies. I think it was reassuring to her that I was there, the same person, that she could trust me, as critical as we could sometimes be with each other. We ran the gamut over the years, where we were in love with each other, where we hated each other's guts. I'm not speaking to you, you're such a judgmental, royal brat! We went through it all. It's like we were a family. When you were in her good graces, you couldn't have more fun with any person on the planet. She was able to make you feel like you were the most important thing in her life. I think that's a really rare quality. And then you could go 180 degrees opposite, where you were furious with one another and wouldn't speak for weeks and weeks. But that's all part of what makes a relationship complete. It's not all one sided. Like I say, she was a handful. She was high maintenance. But my life would have been so much drabber and less interesting if she hadn't been the friend that she was.
I live in a sort of insular world. It's mostly my family, my house, staying home and working.
On Billie Lourd: So much like her mother in so many ways- it was almost as if we were cuddling our Princess again!
One of the things that I love about voiceover is that it's a situation where - because you're not encumbered by being seen - it's liberating. You're able to make broad choices that you would never make if you were on camera.
Ginny McSwain is quite simply a master of her. Her empathy with actors, her easy going humor and her complete understanding of subtle shading and nuance brings out the best in every performer. You couldn't be in more able hands.
I've always loved Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness movies.
Acting in 'Star Wars' I felt like a raisin in a giant fruit salad, and I didn't even know who the cantaloupes were.
Character roles only indicate that they're very different from who you are as a person, and for me, it's fun hiding behind characters that are so unlike who I am.
I love the fact that, one time, my face was on the back of a cereal box - probably 3-CPO's - and it was a mask where you cut out the eye holes and put a string through the side. It makes me feel like I'm 11 years old all over again.
There's something fascinating about watching artists draw.
I never saw myself so much as an actor. I wanted to be a cartoonist like Charles M. Schulz and create my own world and be able to have a studio at home and not commute and be able to be with my family.
When I was a teenager, I did one animated series back when I was on 'General Hospital.' It was 1971 or '72. Then I didn't do animation until 'Batman.'
You know those actors who have a sense for how they should be used? I don't think I have that.
Launching a Broadway show is like no other endeavor. It's taxing because you're present - it's not like cutting a movie and test focus-grouping it and filling out forms.
I have a sneaking suspicion that if there were a way to make movies without actors, George Lucas would do it.
I always think a day when you never get out of your pajamas is a win.
'Star Wars' is more fairy tale than true science fiction.
I've learned that the movies Star Wars will never finally end. It just goes on and on and on and on. I mean, it's going to be in 3D, then it's going to be smellivision, then it's going to be a ride in an amusement park, then they'll come to your house and perform it with puppets on your lawn ... it'll never end!

I debated in high school! If you told things that weren't true or just made things out of whole cloth, you were penalized. It's too bad they don't apply the same standards to presidential candidates as they do to high school students.
We occupied a unique area in each other's lives. It was like we were in a garage band together that somehow hit it huge. We had no idea the impact Star Wars would have on the world. I remember we were out on tour right before the movie opened. By the time, we got to Chicago, there was a crowd at the airport. I said, hey look, you guys, there must be somebody famous on the plane. I was looking around to see who it might be. And then in the crowd I saw a kid dressed in a Han Solo vest. Then I saw girl dressed like Princess Leia. I said, oh my God, look, Carrie, there's somebody dressed just like you. She's got the buns on her head! The first time I met Carrie was at dinner in London before we started filming together. I had been the first one to go over to Africa with Sir Alec Guinness and the robots, to film all the desert planet stuff, then I came back to London and then Harrison Ford came over. Carrie was the last piece in the puzzle to come to London. So, I said to the production office, I'd like to meet her before we work together. They worked out that we'd meet for dinner. You know, she was 19 years old at the time. I was a worldly 24 years old. So, I was thinking, oh my God what it'll be like working with a high school kid. But I was just bowled over. I mean she was just so instantly ingratiating and funny and outspoken. She had a way of just being so brutally candid. I had just met her but it was like talking to a person you'd known for ten years. She was telling me stuff about her stepfather, about her mom, about Eddie Fisher, it was just harrowing in its detail. I kept thinking, Should I know this? I mean, I wouldn't have shared that with somebody that I had trusted for years and years and years. But she was the opposite. She just sucked you into her world. I was so middle class. Growing up, the closest thing to a celebrity we had was our next-door neighbor, who was a baggage handler who returned Jerry Lewis' wallet that fell on the tarmac in San Diego. But she was something completely different. She dropped out of high school to be in the chorus of Irene on Broadway. I was just in awe of her. She was so committed to joy and fun and embracing life. She had an Auntie Mame quality to her. I would do crazy things to amuse her on the set. Making her laugh was always a badge of honor. I remember during Empire we were split up story wise; it was a difficult film to shoot and there was a lot of tension on the set. I was off in the swampland with the puppets and robots, but at least Carrie and Harrison got to work with human beings. Once at lunchtime she said, you should try on my jumpsuit. I said, The one-piece white jumpsuit? You're what, five foot two inches? I'll never get in! She said, just try it. I put on that Princess Leia zipper jump suit and it was so tight I looked like a Vegas lounge singer. If that wasn't ridiculous enough, she had me put on one of those bald cap masks with the Bozo hair and glasses and nose and then she walked me around the back lot. The lengths I would go to hear her laugh, there were no limits. I loved her and loved making her laugh. She would do these crazy things and make me do these crazy things, but I really don't think they were crazy after all. In a way, it was a defense mechanism for her. She was so off the wall, she could use it as protection. Part of what was so poignant about her was that she was vulnerable, that there was this glimmer of a little girl that was so appealing and it roused the protective nature in my personality. I'm grateful that we stayed friends and got to have this second act with the new movies. I think it was reassuring to her that I was there, the same person, that she could trust me, as critical as we could sometimes be with each other. We ran the gamut over the years, where we were in love with each other, where we hated each other's guts. I'm not speaking to you, you're such a judgmental, royal brat! We went through it all. It's like we were a family. When you were in her good graces, you couldn't have more fun with any person on the planet. She was able to make you feel like you were the most important thing in her life. I think that's a really rare quality. And then you could go 180 degrees opposite, where you were furious with one another and wouldn't speak for weeks and weeks. But that's all part of what makes a relationship complete. It's not all one sided. Like I say, she was a handful. She was high maintenance. But my life would have been so much drabber and less interesting if she hadn't been the friend that she was.
I live in a sort of insular world. It's mostly my family, my house, staying home and working.
On Billie Lourd: So much like her mother in so many ways- it was almost as if we were cuddling our Princess again!
One of the things that I love about voiceover is that it's a situation where - because you're not encumbered by being seen - it's liberating. You're able to make broad choices that you would never make if you were on camera.
Ginny McSwain is quite simply a master of her. Her empathy with actors, her easy going humor and her complete understanding of subtle shading and nuance brings out the best in every performer. You couldn't be in more able hands.
I've always loved Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness movies.
Acting in 'Star Wars' I felt like a raisin in a giant fruit salad, and I didn't even know who the cantaloupes were.
Character roles only indicate that they're very different from who you are as a person, and for me, it's fun hiding behind characters that are so unlike who I am.
I love the fact that, one time, my face was on the back of a cereal box - probably 3-CPO's - and it was a mask where you cut out the eye holes and put a string through the side. It makes me feel like I'm 11 years old all over again.
There's something fascinating about watching artists draw.
I never saw myself so much as an actor. I wanted to be a cartoonist like Charles M. Schulz and create my own world and be able to have a studio at home and not commute and be able to be with my family.
When I was a teenager, I did one animated series back when I was on 'General Hospital.' It was 1971 or '72. Then I didn't do animation until 'Batman.'
You know those actors who have a sense for how they should be used? I don't think I have that.
Launching a Broadway show is like no other endeavor. It's taxing because you're present - it's not like cutting a movie and test focus-grouping it and filling out forms.

Happy Birthday Walter Koenig!
I didn't watch Star Trek the first year it was on, before I was on the show. I took one look at the Styrofoam rocks and said: "There's no way I'm going to watch this!".
I'm always looking for a low-budget script with an interesting character to play.
Star Trek has given me a considerable amount of satisfaction and a certain amount of respect in the industry community and among people who watch television and movies. I enjoy that. I enjoy feeling good about myself. God knows it's easy enough for me to feel bad about myself -- I need all the support I can get. Star Trek deserves the respect it has received. If I'm going to be aligned with something, it might as well be something that makes a worthwhile statement most of the time. No, I don't have any regrets about my involvement with Star Trek.
Religious tolerance is something we should all practice; however, there have been more persecution and atrocities committed in the name of religion and religious freedom than anything else.
I was only one of two people who auditioned for the part, which is quite extraordinary. Considering that this has so materially effected the last 35 years of my life... a couple of hours after I auditioned, I heard that I had gotten the role.
Well, an actor is an actor is actor, to paraphrase someone or other and the opportunity to work, to have a steady engagement, certainly seemed like an appealing concept to me.
A one and one with Trump and Putin is leaving a child alone in a room with a predator.
My eternal gratitude to Sky Conway for making Renegades Requiem happen and my thanks to Tim Russ for directing it.
Music score for Renegades Requiem created by two very gifted young musicians from England. You'"ll be hearing great things about them!
My eye sight is going. Should have been "Renegades" not "Tenegades". Anyone know what tenegades might mean?
There's some really good people in my life. And then there's my grandson Oliver. Man, what a trip!
"young actor" = meant child actor.
"Gifted" Hugely entertaining. Chris Evans - excellent. Mckenna Grace - maybe the most engaging young actor ever! A star is born.
"....They're just...dramatic...pauses./ You aint Captain Kirk. You need a hospital bru." -Candorville 4/12/17. Thanks Darrin. Made my day.
It's not that I love everything. I jwant to speak about things I feel positively about. The other stuff I leave on the therapy couch.
"Norman....." Inventive screenplay, solid ensemble cast and a nuanced profound performance by Richard Gere. Remarkably well done A winner!
"The Zoo Keeper's Wife". Another true story about selflessness, honor and courage. Can't get enough of these. In theaters now.
Democrats: If you get money requests from from political campaigns through ACT BLUE please examine the forms they send very carefully.
Everyone donates to charities if they can. After reading "Until Tuesday" I've decided to make this one one of those.
We have the power to make it illegal for @POTUS to unilaterally go nuclear. Call on Congress to keep us safe.
Animal cruelty on the set of "A Dog's Purpose".Read the book instead. Charming heart warming story. Loved it!
My wife is marching in L.A. and my daughter in Washington today. I'm, proud of them both.

Happy Birthday Jeffrey Combs!
If you don’t have dreams, you will end up working for people who do.
Do you have children?
Which is your favorite?
I went to a lot of theatre schools, got a lot of training, did a lot of repertory where you do a different play every night. I took a lot of voice, movement, and acting classes.
Writing has never been a driving force within me.
From Beyond was a very difficult movie. I'm kind of schizo about it. It involved a lot of makeup. I counted it up once, it was 30 days in that hideous, bald-headed, dog-dick-out-of-my-forehead thing. I hated it. It was so uncomfortable. And yet on the flip side of that, it was shot out of Rome, Italy, and I got to spend a glorious eight weeks in one of the world's greatest capitals. It was good. I feel like Charles Dickens: It was the best of times, and it was the worst of times. But I also felt like the role in From Beyond was so polar-opposite to what I had done in Re-Animator, where I played a strong, driving personality that pushed the action forward. Here, I was really-for all intents and purposes-being a victim. Someone standing there going, "No!" So I felt like some of the tools in my kit were being taken away from me. That was a bit frustrating, too.
I think there's something in the human psyche that we're titillated by the person who flies too close to the candle and their wings get singed.
God, I had no idea what was to come. All I knew was, I was doing a play in Hollywood, and a casting director came to see it. I did not invite him. As I recall, he said, "I'm casting something you might be right for." I went in and met Stuart Gordon, did my read, got a callback where I was paired up with the great David Gale. We did a scene. I guess we both got cast. Very low budget, shot in 18 days. Who knew? I am not rich from the movie. Somebody got rich.
I always try to make my characters people, and yet I always want to entertain.
You get known for something, and then they pigeonhole you. They don't want to view you as being particularly versatile. They just want you to do that thing you did before. It perpetuates itself. You can certainly say no, but then you're not working. So a long time ago, I just told myself I'd just turn everything, even if it's all stuck in a particular genre, I'd try to expand people's perception of me by what I did within the framework I've got going.
It's who you know and who can help you.
Brian Yuzna, who produced Re-Animator, was directing this trilogy of horror stories, and the glue that bound them together was this interweaving story of Lovecraft coming to an exotic, mystical library. He wanted me to play Lovecraft. I kind of resisted. I said, "I don't look like Lovecraft." But John Vulich is a great special-effects makeup artist. He really got me looking like him as much as he possibly could with a chin and a nose. I always felt weird portraying Lovecraft in that movie, because Brian, for the project, really wanted Lovecraft to be an Indiana Jones character, and that's not a particularly accurate portrayal of Lovecraft, if you've read any of his biographies. You do what you can with what you've got.
I also sort of find the idea that not only do actors want to please when they're onstage, I find actors really want to please off stage a lot of the time, don't they?
Bride of Re-Animator was cobbled together. I don't really have all the details, but I think there were some issues with the script they were going to shoot. Someone claimed they had propriety over some of the ideas. So at the last minute, the script that was going to be shot was jettisoned, and the one we shot was thrown together. I feel there were some great moments in that movie. Especially, the sort of idea of building a human being out of parts: I really love that whole classic horror idea. But I think the tone got lost a little. Sometimes movies are on a track to get made and you don't have time to pull over and do a polish, because the deal is the deal and we've got a start date, and the money goes away if we don't. It suffered from all of that.
I gravitated to acting out of a mixture of instinct, naivete and opportunity.
One of the greatest experiences of my career. Peter Jackson is a genius. He makes it look easy and effortless. A visionary. Very collaborative and sharing. No real ego. I remember my chest is a bunch of scars, and they came to me with their drawings and said, "What do you think?" Which is unheard of in film. It was one of the highlights of my life to work with him.
Feelings are universal, and if an actor's doing his job, I think he's making people sit there, and if it's in a movie or a theatre, going 'Hmm, yeah, I know that... I know that.'
Labor Day. Without unions there wouldn't be weekends, an 8 hr shift, OT, vacation pay, etc. Think about that when someone bashes unions.
Why I love baseball. Poise and grace.
See you all in Lost Wages, I mean, Las Vegas (damn that auto-correct!). I'm appearing on Sunday only. Star Trek Rat Pack, baby!!
It's called acting.
Looks great! My worlds collide. Herbert & Shran. It is always surreal to see my visage inked on someone's body.
My worlds collide.
I remember it well. At first it was slated to be a Halloween release, but a summer slot opened up. Proud to be a part of this great film.
Hey @realDonaldTrump again you insult someone who disagrees w/you on their looks & IQ.... so presidential, so classy, as in 6th Grade class.
Trump just shouldn't wear pants anymore. They keep going up in flames.
At least we pronounce the t's in the middle of our words. It's "A bit of better butter." Not "A bi a be'er bu'er."
Hypocrisy writ large.
Don't forget beer. We'll be in Bavaria after all.
10 standing room tix added for tonight's NEVERMORE! A good chance some will get seats. Poe it!
An American with an ugly soul. Sadly, there's a lot of them.
Republicans are right. Their plan is so much shorter in length and cheaper! Click the link and see what I mean.

Happy Birthday Helga Hahnemann!
Ich möchte von allen gleich verstanden werden und nicht erstmal so fünfmal hinten rum.
Unterhalten bedeutet nicht nur dass die Leute über mich lachen.
Die Sachen die ich losgelassen habe, die hammse bei uns alle verstanden. ich habe ja nichts anderes gesagt als ich selber wusste.
In vielen Gesprächen bei den Proben spüren wir die wachsende Anteilnahme am Betrieb und am aktuellen Geschehen in unserer Republik.
Ich bin Diplom-Mimin, ich habe 3 Jahre studiert.
Lieber lichterloh brennen als langsam verglühen.
Für mich ist es langweilig im Kabarett 300 Leute intellektuell zu bedienen. Das ist mir zu elitär. Ich steh lieber im Friedrichsstadtpalast auf der Bühne.
Ich finde man soll nicht nur die Unterschiede heraus kitzeln, sondern lieber was wir gemeinsam haben und gemeinsam machen können.
Es gibt doch überall dufte Typen und Eierköppe, ob das nun Wessis oder Ossis sind.

Happy Birthday Dieter Hallervorden!
Wenn ich als Privatmann im Hotel nicht die Treppe runterfalle, sind alle enttäuscht und meinen, ich sei außer Form.
Horror kann ich nicht bieten - da müssen Sie sich schon an die Regierung selber wenden.
Das ist nicht schlimm wenn man 70 wird, schlimm ist nur wenn man's nicht wird.
Deutscher Humor ist ja ein echter Schlankmacher: Man muss meilenweit laufen, bis man ihn trifft.
Schaut stets denen auf die Finger, die sie in Alles stecken. Besonders gilt dies für Politiker und Nasenbohrer.
Fernsehredakteure haben eine einmalige Begabung: Sie können Spreu von Weizen trennen. Und die Spreu senden sie dann.
Wintersport ist die eleganteste Art, auf die Fresse zu fallen.
Manche Politiker muss man behandeln wie rohe Eier. Und wie behandelt man rohe Eier? Man haut sie in die Pfanne.
Nicht genug, dass sich manche Leute in der Film- und Fernsehbranche an meine Popularität mit angehängt haben, das Publikum muss sich also jetzt auf einen neuen Titel umstellen, obwohl es sich um die Fortsetzung der gleichen Serie handelt.
Die Wartezeit, die man bei Ärzten verbringt, würde in den meisten Fällen ausreichen, um selbst Medizin zu studieren.
Experten sind Leute, die 99 Liebesstellungen kennen, aber kein einziges Mädchen.
Instinkt ist das, was man braucht, wenn der Verstand aussetzt.
Im Urlaub wird trotzdem gearbeitet... Im Garten!
Das Fernsehen wurde erfunden, um den Analphabeten einen guten Grund zum Brillentragen zu geben.
Pegida vergisst: Ohne den jahrhundertelangen Kulturaustausch zwischen Islam und Christentum gäbe es das heutige Europa nicht. Übrigens: Die Heiligen Drei Könige kamen aus dem Morgenland. Dumm gelaufen, oder?
