It takes a lot of guts to jump. If people criticise, I would give them a set of skis and say, 'Do it yourself then.'
To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.
If my critics saw me walking over the Thames they would say it was because I couldn't swim.
As Walter Cronkite would say, that's the way it is.
I'll have to say winning the Olympic gold in Atlanta is a crowning achievement, along with the gold in the relay in the same games.
I would willingly give fifty thousand crowns to be able to say that I took Paris without costing the life of one single man.
Malicious lying is usually a matter of need, but often the cruelest things we say are the truth.
Denzel Washington, Sidney Poitier, Robert Redford, Tom Cruise: those guys have well-planned careers. I'm just on a journey. Wherever I run across a job, I say, 'Okay, I'll do that.'

I'm in so many videos. There was a period of about two years where I danced for everyone: Kylie Minogue, Ed Sheeran, Jessie J, Taio Cruz.

If the Founding Fathers could have looked into a crystal ball and seen AK-47s and Glock semi-automatic pistols, I think they would say, you know, 'That's not really what we mean when we say bear arms.'
We like to crystallize something in the audience's brain that makes them say, 'Hey I really want to watch that. I'm really interested in it.'
What I'll say is that Cuban-Americans don't have to deal with the same immigration issues as other nationalities because of the 'wet feet, dry feet' policy. For Cubans, one year after you touch United States territory, you can become a legal resident.
Starbucks says they are going to start putting religious quotes on cups. The very first one will say, 'Jesus! This cup is expensive!'
Most students of literature can pick apart a metaphor or spot an ethnic stereotype, but not many of them can say things like: 'The poem's sardonic tone is curiously at odds with its plodding syntax.'
I've never heard Donald Trump say that he watches 'House of Cards,' but I'd be really shocked if he didn't because he appears to be copying Frank more than we're copying the current administration.
When producers want to know what the public wants, they graph it as curves. When they want to tell the public what to get, they say it in curves.
Free institutions certainly exist, but a tradition of passivity and conformism restricts their use - a cynic might say that this is why they continue to exist.
The cynic says, 'One man can't do anything.' I say, 'Only one man can do anything.'
Visas represent one bureaucratic obstacle, so to say and, if removed, might increase the inflow of Russian money into the Czech economy. And not only Russian money, but Russian tourists, Russian entrepreneurs and so on.
