Especially in the entertainment industry, because you have to focus on yourself and your career every day, it's really important to do things that remind you that it's not just about you; things that really take you back to reality.

It helps to have been there before. It's been a while. I'm better now than I was then.

This is a perfect test today. It's nice to have the wind and suddenly be able to hit the shots I wanted to hit.

‎"Tell me, sir, what is a butterfly?""It's what you are meant to become. It flies with beautiful wings and joins the earth to heaven. It drinks only nectar from the flowers and carries the seeds of love from one flower to another. Without butterflies, the world would soon have few flowers.

Sometimes you have to let things go. Sometimes you have to stop caring for a minute.

It's hard to know, isn't it, whether the things we face are just because the world is full of sin and sinful people, or if God is working out a plan,' Grandma continued. 'I happen to think it's both. There's sin, but through it all, He takes the mess we make and paints a masterpiece. In fact, I'm quite certain that before God can ever bless a woman—and use her to impact many—He uses the hammer, the file, and the furnace to do a holy work.

With more [distribution] channels, it's important to have 'must-have' content and brands that cut through the clutter.

It's been a fascinating thing because we didn't really know how to write when we started South Park at all. It's been like, we've just sort of grown up a bit and it's amazing to just see how, if you take Butters and Cartman and put them in any scene, it works.

Doing a musical is like having a kid. It's out there alive somewhere. It's not like a movie or a TV show where what we intended is what everyone will see. The kid can act out. The kid's going to do what it wants to do.

One of the first things I told the kids afterward was that Fred pitched a heck of a game. I honestly thought if we made the plays we should have made, they probably had five or six runs, and that's good against anyone.

It's not like we have a formula, but I think one of the reasons this show has survived is that it has a big heart at its center. Other cartoon shows have people crap on each other and make racist jokes. But I don't think people tune in for that. I just don't think a show lasts for 10 years without a heart.

It's a matter of having guys relax and not try to do so much. They just need to take a deep breath and try to make good contact. Sometimes, everyone is trying to deliver that blow, maybe trying to do too much instead of relaxing.

If there's one thing I discovered since I came back from hiatus, it's that you can't go backwards.

Things have gone beyond my wildest expectations and dreams, and I feel like I've been given so many blessings in my life, between my friendship with the guys in the band, our wonderful audience, being able to play this music, and then my family.

It's important to play national name schools like Florida State and Arizona State. It's important to try to get at least one home schedule series a year with a national- caliber team.

One of the things I try to be very careful of is not taking a movie when I know I have no inspiration left.

In a way, I have to have a dictatorship. I can't be told that I'm wrong. That conflicts with what I was saying earlier about listening. It isn't to do with receiving criticism and responding to other views, it's who has that last decision.

I think a director does have a huge responsibility to draw strands together, and to seek extension and development of his or her own ideas.

I always believe it's better to have 30 imaginations working on a project, rather than one imagination telling the other 29 what to do.

It's a weird thing. The American tendency in that type of situation is to be very quiet and very respectful, but we had to educate them otherwise.

It's becoming more natural to me. I don't have to think as much to know exactly what I need to do. That only comes with experience.

The one thing I wanted most in life was for my dad to see me coaching in the Final Four. He won't get to see me, but he'll have a seat from above.

It is important that the Iraqi people have confidence in the election results and that the voting process, including the process for vote counting, is free and fair.

If it's issued, we have to stop. That's the law. We can't do anything.

Nicholas Benedict did have an exceptional gift for knowing things (more exceptional, in fact, than most adults would have thought possible), and yet not even he could know that this next chapter was to be the most unusual-and most important-of his entire childhood. Indeed, the strange days that lay ahead would change him forever, though for now they had less substance than the mist through which he ran.

A lot of things I have turned down ended up being a big embarrassment. Like that script, 'The Beaver.' I thought that was one of the worst scripts I had ever read. But everyone said, 'Ooh it's on the Black List.' Yeah, well, good for it. They're a bunch of idiots. I saw the final film, and there were no surprises.

It's one thing to reject the idea that it's a man's job to bring home all the bacon; it's another the 500th time your wife reaches for the check at dinner.

We have a lot of great chemistry going on now. We all wanted to elevate our game. One reason is our injury situation. Another is that it's playoff time, meaning the games are more intense and have more at stake.

It's not going to be an overnight thing. We have to make sure this is not happening again.

I don't think people should do things because you know, 'I am turning this age, I must go have a husband.' If you find somebody and it works out then have kids, it's very nice. But if you don't, you don't.
