It is often my NATURE to be ABSTRACT, hidden in PLAIN SIGHT, or NOWHERE at all.

I think in POLITICS, in CONGRESS, you OFTEN do things that are Republican, or you do things because you're a Democrat. Sometimes that's good, obviously, and sometimes that's obviously bad. But in the NEWS business, there's no such THING as Republican or Democratic news. News is news.

Arguments over grammar and STYLE are often as fierce as those over IBM versus Mac, and as fruitless as COKE versus PEPSI and boxers versus briefs.

We humans can get used to anything. It really is remarkable. The problem is that we often USE this glorious ability of ours to STAY STUCK in mediocrity. Oh, the years we WASTE adapting to LOUSY marriages, soul-sucking jobs, being friends with people who are rude to waitresses.

The two THINGS that MATTER the most to me: emotional resonance and ROCKET launchers. Party of Five, a brilliant SHOW, and OFTEN made me cry uncontrollably, suffered ultimately from a lack of rocket launchers.

I think, so OFTEN, people go quick to that nepotism: 'I should be OK; my cousin's a producer. I can GET into the movie.' How about AUDITION, EARN the part, and feel confident in knowing that the director felt you were the right PERSON for the job versus hiring you because you know somebody?

We don't have TRUTH delivered to US very OFTEN, especially in this very commercialized WORLD.

Too OFTEN we forget that an ideal partner is SOMEONE who enhances an already FULL existence.

How OFTEN are the perpetrators of hate-crimes discovered to be self-loathing? Valued individuals do not STRIKE out against STRANGERS.

Government is the ultimate monopoly. And monopolies, as any economist will tell you, OFTEN BREED COMPLACENCY and a LACK of innovation.

The PURSUIT of PERFECTION OFTEN impedes IMPROVEMENT.

It is OFTEN EASIER to ASK for FORGIVENESS than to ask for PERMISSION.
