You have to be a bastard to make it, and that's a fact. And the Beatles are the biggest bastards on earth.

He didn't come out of my belly, but my God, I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I'm so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.

There was so long from when we did the pilot and then when the show was eventually picked up by Comedy Central - and, in fact, we had to shoot the pilot twice.

I feel like I'm the most well-adjusted character on the show, even though I'm sure the other actors would tell you the same thing about their characters.

The climate informs the character.

The first thing I do when I read a part is see if I can identify emotionally with a character. If I make that connection, everything else is just working on knowing their life circumstances and manifesting those through practice and research.

A time is marked not so much by ideas that are argued about as by ideas that are taken for granted. The character of an era hangs upon what needs no defense.

I just noticed recently that in one book after another I seem to find an excuse to find some character who, to put it idiotically simply, is allowed to talk crazy.

Andrew has talked about my character being the conscience of the film, the heart of the film.

Here's a little known fact - Arnold is the first body builder to run for governor since Janet Reno.

Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.

Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.

One of the virtues of being very young is that you don't let the facts get in the way of your imagination.

I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact.
