My rookie year was huge for me as far as the learning curve, especially those last three games.

Doing everything with one arm, being well-known, and having a book and a movie, it’s fairly abnormal. As far as just not having to worry about past experiences, I’ve healed very well.

I see far stronger and more charismatic personalities strolling around Philadelphia’s neighborhoods than are being featured in most of today’s bland daytime soaps.

We feel that what’s too far is when you make a joke and somebody gets hurt.

I think I’ve owned all the models of iPods so far. And these days between my iPod, iPhone and my personal laptop computer, I’m someone who is very, very grateful for all the ways to...

In Hollywood, they put the knife in your front; in D.C., they put it in your back. I found far fewer duplicitous people in Hollywood.

Friends are really important, especially when you’ve had the successes that I’ve had. I’ve gone really far in my career, so they’re the ones that keep you humble, keep your feet on the ground.

As far as I’m concerned, the essentials of jazz are: melodic improvisation, melodic invention, swing, and instrumental personality.

The really good stand up comedians can be angry but relatable, and they have interestingly humanizing personalities. Their observational skills are far greater than mine, so I’ll just stick to reading lines off a page.

I’ve got a very deep and abiding passion about education being far more than buildings and textbooks; it’s what children bring into school with them.

Far from being the product of a democratic revolution and of an opposition to English institutions, the constitution of the United States was the result of a powerful reaction against democracy, and in favor of...

Eponymous brands aren’t that popular with analysts and investors now. You can only take an eponymous brand with a living figurehead so far, they argue. What happens when they grow old and die? What happens...

‘Portnoy’s Complaint’ was very far out there, and movies have always worked when you have either a funny situation between two or more people or a very dramatic situation. There’s not that much difference.

There isn’t a class structure in Nigeria; there’s a tribal structure and prestige as far as money is concerned.

Don’t sell yourself short because without that you can’t go far in life because after sports the only thing you know is sports and you can’t do anything else with that.

As far as wages are concerned, the only difference between immigration and birth is that birth takes longer.

I was seeing everything through pain. I would roll out of bed and do my exercises. I had to do that to work out the remainder of the pain pills. I would drink coffee and...

Gadhafi’s vicious regime has left Libya far worse than he found it on the day of his coup in 1969.

Preaching is to much avail, but practice is far more effective. A godly life is the strongest argument you can offer the skeptic.

You have 60 countries in the world with a terrorist problem. That’s two-thirds of the world. We have this group in Basilan, which is a small island in the far south of the Philippines, and...

I’d never been to acting school, so I never thought I’d get this far.

Sometimes a faint voice based on instinct resonates far more strongly than overpowering logic.

What I will learn over the years will be of benefit and interest to me personally but, as far as the program is concerned, I’m the mouthpiece of the viewers as well.

Real education should educate us out of self into something far finer; into a selflessness which links us with all humanity.

I love doing short films because they’re much more intimate and there’s far less waiting around than on the bigger films.

I think the race situation is getting better as far as people respecting each other goes. I think the race situation with entertainment is not that much better.

I think writing a poem is like being a greyhound. Writing a novel is like being a mule. You go up one long row, then down another, and try not to look up too often...

There is an anti-science by the far right. We have to be careful that the far left doesn’t balance this with a naive approach of promising what we can’t deliver. I mean, science is neutral;...

I was kind of the black sheep with the Disney kids. I was uninterested in making friends with most of them. I didn’t really fall into ‘the Disney mold.’ I was more or less the...

Terrorists kill from far, but cowardice is not far. (Les terroristes tuent de loin, – Mais la l cheté n’est pas loin)

A deliberate choice on my part was for the player to continue to find new possibilities in the early Attic rooms far into the game. I think this builds atmosphere, though it means there’s no...

My mother has rheumatoid arthritis. I don’t want to lose the ability to jump up and walk across the room or move around with the energy I’m used to having. That’s far more important to...

Gingrich was a far more volatile and aggressive individual than Boehner, but the institutional norms of self-restraint, and perhaps even self-interest, have broken down under the pressure of an increasingly abnormal Republican Party.

A fairly bright boy is far more intelligent and far better company than the average adult.

Once I really got into securities fraud prosecutions, I came to realize how central they were to the maintenance of a free market and how, in many ways, they are far more important to the...

No matter how near, no matter how far, friends forever is what we are

I hate to tell you this, but you will never actually go to a galaxy far, far away and encounter Darth Vader. That’s science fiction; it isn’t going to happen.

I think Melbourne is by far and away the most interesting place in Australia, and I thought if I ever wrote a novel or crime novel of any kind, I had to set it here.

Love comes in far more shapes and sizes than what the family-values crowd condones, of course.

As far I’m concerned, being an adult is way more fun than being a kid. But then I was a kid who wanted to be an adult. I’d watch shows like ‘Bewitched’ and see Darren...

As far as Deep Purple goes, I mean, they’re iconic. Their contribution is unquantifiable, and as far as the politics involved in things like awards, you know, I don’t think anything, because I know what...

I’d take precision any day over power; as far as being tactical you know you have to see what’s going on in there and also understand that for every punch that you or your opponent...

I can tell you who I’d like to work with as far as rock legends. Definitely Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters. Of course Linkin Park. Actually, I already worked with Travis Barker on a...

Sure, sometimes guys pass you up in salary, and maybe it’s a lesser player, but it’s all based on what a team has as far as value in that person.

I like to make people laugh. That’s for sure. And I really like to humiliate myself and go very far in derision and stuff. But no, I like everything. I started a little bit of...

Patience has its limits. Take it too far, and it’s cowardice.

It’s got to do with putting yourself in other people’s shoes and seeing how far you can come to truly understand them. I like the empathy that comes from acting.

I’ve learned that there’s a signature Metallica sound, and if we stray too far from that, our fans get impatient, or they just don’t understand, or they miss the point. And I’m not saying that’s...

Heartbreak comes in different sizes, and the departure of an 18-year-old child for a far college has to be treated as a very benign form of the disease.
