I jog in the morning and then write for about two hours. There are times when I'm really excited and can't wait to get back to it. But there are days when I don't know what's coming next, and I really have to force it.
We all should be concerned if our kids don't know who Sandra Day O'Connor, John Adams, and Ronald Reagan are.
I know that John Adams has had a very hard time directing French ensembles.
When you study history in American schools, very rarely is the name John Brown mentioned. We know who Kanye West is or Twyla Tharp or Shania Twain.
We don't know who John Brown was, and in many ways, his work shaped where we are today. He was a Pennsylvanian. He was the prototypical Yankee who fought back and suffered in doing so.
I think over the course of 14 films, I'm returning to a place that I know to tell a story... the same way Spielberg returned to fantasy, Lucas returned to the 'Star Wars' saga, or John Ford returned to the western.
I'd love to do a Western. A real Western like John Ford used to do. There's not too many of them made, so I don't know if I'll ever get to do that. They're awfully hard movies to make.
Why couldn't Obama have picked somebody respectable as his running mate, you know, like John Kerry did?
Very few people know anybody like John McCain, someone who suffered and had his body, yet not his spirit, broken for six years as a POW and who has served his nation.
I don't know whether John Roberts has a twin, perhaps a sister or, uh, someone with a Hispanic last name.
They're all focusing on how John Roberts is going to decide Roe v. Wade. That isn't even the right question. I don't even know of a case in the (court) system that addresses it.
I know every Skynyrd and about all Johnny Cash songs.
I'm not going to be joining ZZ Top. You know they can't play my stuff. It's too complicated.
The universe as we know it is a joint product of the observer and the observed.
Joker' is, of course, a character of my generation grew up with, and it’s a character you know really well and have strong opinions about. He’s been a larger-than-life character in fiction. He’s one of these rare characters that have had such strong performances.
You know, I'm a comedian the same as Bill Maher and Jon Stewart. We all came up the same way. The three of us have interest in politics; I call us fundits, we're fundits! We're not pundits!
It's unbelievable how good Jon Jones really is. It's the minute he steps out of the octagon, you never know what's going to happen.
I don't know how to read. I get all my news from Jon Stewart every day.
Over the years, I'd hear Jon Stewart disavow being a journalist and say, 'No, I'm a comedian.' I'd be like, 'Stop pretending. You know you're a journalist.'
I know Jonathan Van Ness from comedy, and he's got this wonderful show on Funny or Die called 'Gay of Thrones.'
