Anyone in the humor business isn't thinking clearly if he doesn't surround himself with idea people. Otherwise you settle for mediocrity - or you burn yourself out.

If golf wasn't enjoyable and there wasn't a lot of humor and enjoyment even though the game is so frustrating you would wonder why you put yourself through it.

It's your outlook on life that counts. If you take yourself lightly and don't take yourself too seriously pretty soon you can find the humor in our everyday lives. And sometimes it can be a lifesaver.

It's good to be able to laugh at yourself and the problems you face in life. Sense of humor can save you.

Being a Hot Mom means being respected as a mom and a woman. And the key to being a Hot Mom is having a sense of humor about yourself and all the crazy situations that arise.

A pun is the lowest form of humor unless you thought of it yourself.

I hope what I do has an art to it and as an artist you have to try new things and keep yourself entertained.

Do the best you can with yourself and hope for the best.

I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you and that you will work them water them with your blood and tears and you laughter till they bloom till you yourself burst into bloom.

I hope all you young girls see yourself up there... we were just like you.

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply with greater vision with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

Poets have said that the reason to have children is to give yourself immortality. Immortality? Now that I have five children my only hope is that they are all out of the house before I die.

It's not about finding a home so much as finding yourself.

I think it's really important to give yourself a very big question that you're working on that you can come home to even if you you know are going to have to go without a cup of coffee or even a meal that that should nourish you.

Entertainers are there to entertain. They aren't there to teach your children the lessons that you haven't bothered to teach them at home yourself.

At home you always have to be a politician when you're abroad you almost feel yourself a statesman.

Don't kid yourself. President Obama's decision to withdraw 33 000 troops from Afghanistan before he stands for reelection is not driven by the United States' 'position of strength' in the war zone as much as it is by grim economic and political realities at home.

You can be true to the character all you want but you've got to go home with yourself.

The only way you can have it all is by delegating all the running of the home to other people - which I don't ever want to do... So you do it yourself and it takes time and energy and effort. And if you give it the time it's profoundly enjoyable.

Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home.

If you want to be an entrepreneur it's not a job it's a lifestyle. It defines you. Forget about vacations about going home at 6 pm - last thing at night you'll send emails first thing in the morning you'll read emails and you'll wake up in the middle of the night. But it's hugely rewarding as you're fulfilling something for yourself.

When everyone goes home you're stuck with yourself.

I feel like I've never had a home you know? I feel related to the country to this country and yet I don't know exactly where I fit in... There's always this kind of nostalgia for a place a place where you can reckon with yourself.

Never make your home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory friends you can trust love of learning and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey.

Accuracy is paramount in every detail of a work of history. Here's my rule: Ask yourself 'Did this thing happen?' If the answer is yes then it's historical. Then ask 'Did this thing happen precisely this way?' If the answer is yes then it's history if the answer is no not precisely this way then it's historical drama.

There's always a part of your nation's history that you haven't been told that... has a powerful impact on how you yourself may behave and may believe.

Through all of history mankind has ingested psychedelic substances. Those substances exist to put you in touch with spirits beyond yourself with the creator with the creative impulse of the planet.

People are at their happiest if they are true to themselves. I think that applies to their chosen profession friends and relationships. It goes for your health too. If you are true to yourself it seems to me everything should work out pretty well.

Never continue in a job you don't enjoy. If you're happy in what you're doing you'll like yourself you'll have inner peace. And if you have that along with physical health you will have had more success than you could possibly have imagined.

Use your health even to the point of wearing it out. That is what it is for. Spend all you have before you die do not outlive yourself.
