Donald Trump

Always think positively and expect the best.

I like thinking big. I always have. To me it’s very simple: if you’re going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big. Most people think small, because most people are afraid of success, afraid of making decisions, afraid of winning. And that gives people like me a great advantage.

I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier.

I look very much forward to showing my financials, because they are huge.

We need a great president.

I’d be the world’s worst drinker!

I love Sell Out, I think it’s great. I love the jingles. The whole thing as an album is a wonderful piece of work. The cover. Everything about it. It’s got humor, great songs, irony.

That is not a functional use of language. That is a drunk driver crashing a pickup truck full of alphabet soup.

America’s Got Talent’ has really opened a lot of doors for me. I want to do a lot more TV.

I had lots of breaks.

After college, I knew I wanted to work in comedy, so the first thing I did was go to where the comedy was. I moved from Charlottesville to Chicago, because that’s where The Second City and Improv Olympics are. You have to go wherever you need to go to study what interests you.

I want to try a lot of things that I haven’t tried. You know, I did a thriller (Red Eye) after this, because it was so different and it was a genre I hadn’t worked in yet. Then I did a beautiful family ensemble drama. And next? I don’t know. I might go off to do a small independent in New York. I’m not sure. The quality of material is important but, basically, I’m open to anything. I like to stay open to anything.

The goal is to try and make the perfect song. Which of course will never happen.

Wow. Losing 95 percent of your audience in just five years. That basically makes Obama the NBC of presidents.

Frank Sinatra and Stan Getz had been friends of mine, and I wanted to pay tribute to them.

I like America, just as everybody else does. I love America, I gotta say that. But America will be judged.

I’m not trying to save the world. As a musician and artist, it just ain’t me.

There’s not much room for eccentricity in Hollywood, and eccentricity is what’s sexy in people.

I’ve never done work for money, ever. If your choices are based on grosses and the film doesn’t do well, what does that mean? It leaves you with nothing.

I’m the lady next door when I’m not on stage.

I was young when I first went to America. I was 19 years old, and I went crazy. I met The GTOs and my mind just snapped. I’m from a nowhere town in the Midlands and here were these girls with bare breasts blatantly coming on, and of course we went crazy.
