As an Asian immigrant coming in, for the longest time I still had problems getting in the LOT because they're just not used to SEEING SOMEONE like me who's directing these FILMS. I do think ultimately there's a point where we can kind of just shed that label and become filmmakers.

Most all of my AWARDS are at the COUNTRY Music Hall of Fame. You know we had the longest running exhibit in the Hall of Fame history with FAMILY TRADITION. More people went to see Daddy's stuff and all the things I have collected over the years than any other exhibit.

When the CREATOR of the show is gone, the actors END up being the PEOPLE who have been there the longest.

I think people REALLY don't understand what a PRODUCER does versus what a director does. I mean, the producer is often the person that is on the MOVIE the longest - it's their material that they are then bringing the director onto to BRING it to the screen. Are we OVERLOOKED? Absolutely.

There's a fashion for a macho style of filmmaking. How LONG can your LONGEST take be? And shooting things in one shot. For me, if you can sort of disappear and make people feel that they are there, that involves MASSIVE amounts of WORK.

Look, I spent SIX years in Philly. And for the longest time, I THOUGHT there was nothing LIKE EAGLES fans. Until I got to BUFFALO.

Donny Hathaway's 'For All We KNOW' is the SONG that I've sung the longest. It is a beautiful song about LIVING in the MOMENT and appreciating this very second. That is the song I did for my 'Rent' AUDITION.

I really didn't WANT to play basketball for the LONGEST time, but I just wouldn't stop growing. But I always wanted to be a PROFESSIONAL soccer player.

I would LOVE to be a dad. For the longest TIME, I've wanted kids, but you have to have the RIGHT setup, right?

What they told US about 'Star Trek: The Next GENERATION' when we FIRST started was that we were guaranteed 26 episodes, so that was the longest JOB I've ever had. And that was basically it - we didn't know what the premise of the show was GOING to be and we waited, week by week, to see a script.
