Bank failures are caused by depositors who don’t deposit enough money to cover losses due to mismanagement.

I don’t dismiss the music that I was involved with I don’t think it was a joke I don’t think it was funny or a phase I don’t think it was just something I was doing back then to me it was who I am. It connects all the way through. I don’t distance myself from any of it.

I think sometimes my humor is extremely dry and a lot of times I would say things that I thought were very funny but… I have a reputation of – people think of me as a very fundamentalist humorless fellow.

At every party there are two kinds of people – those who want to go home and those who don’t. The trouble is they are usually married to each other.

I want of course peace grace and beauty. How do you do that? You work for it.

All my friends were in college when I was making ‘Superbad.’ We were drinking beer and watching movies and eating pizza. It wasn’t like I was going to nice restaurants or anything like that and I lived like a frat guy. Eventually it was time to grow up be healthy and be responsible. You can’t live like a kid forever you know?

Besides the fact that I make movies there’s nothing interesting about my life at all unfortunately.

I just like to act and write and produce. To me making movies is the ultimate goal.

I love it man I’m 23 years old and I’m lucky enough to write movies as a job! I just feel really blessed and can’t believe it’s happening.

I think our culture has gotten so skewed. People assume that because you’re an actor you want to write a book to exploit your celebrity but my celebrity is only a byproduct of me making movies. I have no intention of being a celebrity.

I’m really proud of ‘Moneyball.’ To me it’s about feeling pride in a movie I made. I think when I’m an old man I’ll be able to show it to my grandkids with pride. That’s all I can really go for: making movies to please me.

I’m sure a bunch of 15-year-old kids would way rather I do ‘Superbad 2’ than ‘Moneyball.’ But I would love to do movies like ‘Superbad’ and movies like ‘Moneyball.’

Look at the same time that I don’t want to be a celebrity I understand that when you make movies you put yourself out in the public eye. I’d be a baby and a fool to be like ‘Why are there cameras taking pictures of me?’ when I’m on a billboard for a movie. I think that’s a very absurd concept.

Once you make a movie like ‘Superbad’ when it’s popular and you’re the lead you get offered all kinds of things and there’s a temptation to make bad movies either for the money or to maintain your relevance in pop culture.

I came from a family where I felt great pressure to be financially successful and I felt that staying in Chicago and doing theater I was in all likelihood not going to find financial success.

With the success of the last three or so years when a lot of people start treating you differently there’s a danger that you may start to think of yourself differently. You rely on your friends to say ‘Hey wake up!’

Even the worst Bond movies there’s something to love about them.

I always wanted to make movies.

I guess you could say I’ve been in my share of violent movies.

I was sick and tired of being an English actor who did a lot of American movies because I was cheap and good.

If I wanted to make spy movies for the rest of my life that would be one thing but I don’t want to just make spy movies.

Sexiness particularly in movies is the chess game in the ‘Thomas Crown Affair’. It’s it’s I don’t know but Faye Dunaway comes up a lot in that thinking. It’s the subtlety of sexiness. The moment you try to be sexy then it’s not.

When you’re making movies you’ve got to get obsessive.

You’re creating new things in movies and people are going to steal them.

I will not attempt to deny the reasonableness and necessity of a party war but in carrying on that war all principles and rules of justice should not be departed from.

The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today.

I think that money spoils most things once it becomes the primary motivating force.

Education is the leading of human souls to what is best and making what is best out of them.

How long most people would look at the best book before they would give the price of a large turbot for it?

The principle of all successful effort is to try to do not what is absolutely the best but what is easily within our power and suited for our temperament and condition.

Love is like the wild rose-briar Friendship like the holly-tree. The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms but which will bloom most constantly?

The prospect of going home is very appealing.

The war is coming to the streets of America and if you are not keeping and bearing and practicing with your arms then you will be helpless and you will be the victim of evil.

War is good when good survives and evil is crushed. If you don’t crush evil then evil will get you.

If you want the government off your back get your hands out of its pockets.

I wish to assure you that there can never be any return to the state of armed conflict which existed before our commitment to peace and the democratic process of election under the Lancaster House agreement.

I wish the government and the Minister of Justice would address these legal and constitutional arguments but they refuse to. They want Canadians to go blindly into their brave new world but it is not wise for a society to move blindly in any direction.

I wish that there were more stringent laws to make guns sold anywhere that they’re legal harder to get.

I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.

I wish people would turn off their computers go outside talk to people touch people lick people enjoy each other’s company and smell each other on the rump.

I wish I had coined the phrase ‘tyranny of choice’ but someone beat me to it. The counterintuitive truth is that have an abundance of options does not make you feel privileged and indulged too many options make you feel like all of them are wrong and that you are wrong if you choose any of them.

I wish I could just go tell all the young women I work with all these fabulous women ‘Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success.’ I wish I could tell that to my daughter. But it’s not that simple.

I wish I could give you a lot of advice based on my experience of winning political debates. But I don’t have that experience. My only experience is at losing them.

I wish I could be as thin as Jessica Simpson. I think she looks gorgeous! I have had Jessica on my show several times and I can tell you that girl is genuine and funny with a great self-deprecating sense of humor.

I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

I will not play tug o’ war. I’d rather play hug o’ war. Where everyone hugs instead of tugs Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug Where everyone kisses and everyone grins and everyone cuddles and everyone wins.

I will not attempt to deny the reasonableness and necessity of a party war but in carrying on that war all principles and rules of justice should not be departed from.

I will not attack your doctrines nor your creeds if they accord liberty to me. If they hold thought to be dangerous – if they aver that doubt is a crime then I attack them one and all because they enslave the minds of men.

I will continue to work as hard as I can to make this organization proud. Every time I step on the field I will give everything I have and I will leave everything I have on the field every single Sunday.

I went to the bank and asked to borrow a cup of money. They said ‘What for?’ I said ‘I’m going to buy some sugar.’

I went to college at the University of Kansas where I got a degree in political science.

I went to America and got into a band had success had hits in Australia.

I went to a football school which meant that I went to a university that served up education and was simultaneously operating a sports franchise.

I went to a fight the other night and a hockey game broke out.

I wear black skinny-fit jeans – I can’t get away from them. It’s funny because I wore baggy jeans for ages then one day my friend convinced me to try on a skinny pair and I thought they were great.
