I have yet to see one of those Comedy Central shows with multiple standup comics that doesn't include someone the size of the Hindenburg.
One element of Madonna's career that really takes center stage is how many times she's reinvented herself. It's easier to stay in one look, one comfort zone, one musical style. It's inspiring to see someone whose only predictable quality is being unpredictable.
I want to get comfortable with my insecurities until I am no longer insecure. I want to be comfortable in my skin so that I do not need to dump any of my discomfort onto someone else in the form of judgment.
How can you take seriously someone who likes to believe something because he finds it 'comforting'?
There's nothing more comforting for a team than to know when you need someone to make a play, you have someone who is going to do it when it matters most.
I'm always flattered when someone thinks of me as a potential commissioner of baseball.
It is most pleasant to commit a just action which is disagreeable to someone whom one does not like.
I am against discrimination of any kind, but if I make snap judgments, no matter who it's towards, aren't I committing the same sin as someone who profiles?
Under the common law, one of the more controversial rules is the 'no duty to rescue rule' that says that, if you were not responsible for placing someone in danger or risk, you have no obligation to help them, even when it would cost little to save their life.
I didn't know anything was wrong with me when I was growing up. I thought everyone went to occupational and speech therapy, I thought these were common things. I thought I was quite normal until I went to school and someone told me it wasn't normal to have a disability.
Why do people who consider themselves good communicators often fail to actually hear each other? Often it's due to a mismatch of styles: To someone who prefers to vent, someone who prefers to explain seems patronizing; explainers experience venters as volatile.
How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
I generally find that comparison is the fast track to unhappiness. No one ever compares themselves to someone else and comes out even. Nine times out of ten, we compare ourselves to people who are somehow better than us and end up feeling more inadequate.
If I'd married someone in show business, there'd be too much competition.
I'm a wrestler, so I'm used to not being paid, and I'm used to doing five or six competitions a day and paying someone else to allow me into the event.
Someone once described Ken Lewis to me as the most competitive person in the history of the United States, including the Union Army.
I'm not someone who complains in any way about how things move forward, unless somebody actually does a really crappy job.
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
I'm someone who likes to explore the complexities in people.
It's the oldest story in human existence. We've colonized someone or been colonized throughout human history. It's amazing how fast we comply and try to get a life out of that.
