People always make these generalized statements about Hollywood, and there's all kinds of people in Hollywood.
I am always suspicious of those who impose 'rules' on child rearing. Every child is different in terms of temperament and learning, and every parent responds to a particular child, not some generalized infant or youngster.
Far too often, children with developmental disorders are diagnosed solely on the basis of their observable behavior, slotted into broad diagnostic pigeonholes and provided generalized treatments that may not always meet their specific needs.
When I was younger I always thought, 'If I were ever a comedian I'd make it like a rock concert.' I wanted to generate that type of enthusiasm and excitement.
The subtle generational cues that make one thing cool and another uncool aren't always obvious to a parent. My children are my dinner-table sounding board. I've come up with some wonderful ideas that they universally dismissed as 'lame.'
The thing I've always admired about Eagles fans is that it's not fans; it's family. It's generational.
Even as a kid I was never the generator of humor, but I always knew who was funny, who to hang out with.
I suspect any worries about genetic engineering may be unnecessary. Genetic mutations have always happened naturally, anyway.
My father was always getting excited about something. It's genetically inside me somewhere.
How sad it is that these great gentlemen should believe what anyone tells them and do not choose to judge for themselves! But it is always so.
I was just genuinely shy. I'd always been a shy kid.
I grew up looking at National Geographic. I always wondered who was taking the photos and how.
I feel that the Jews have always had a special connection to this part of the world, which in geographical terms was called Palestine for so many centuries.
My grandpa was a geologist, and I always had this fascination with not only earth sciences but ancient history.
In my junior year, I studied geology on Saturday mornings at the Museum of Natural History. Mineralogy has always been a major interest.
I've always been passionate about geometry and the study of three-dimensional forms.
I don't like to waste notes, not even one. I like to put the right note in the right place, and my influences have always been those kinds of players. Keith Richards comes to mind, and I really like Nils Lofgren's soloing, because he's so melodic. I love John Lennon's rhythm playing, and George Harrison was an incredible guitarist.
I've always dreamed that George Lucas would call me one day and ask me to be in one of the 'Star Wars' films.
I'd always been a great fan of George Orwell.
There are things that I invented - the creaky geriatric robot that is always grumpy, for example, or the little wheelie guy, he's not in the Hasbro lore. But kids love that stuff - this little guy as a pet on a chain. They gravitate towards it.
