I’ve been interested in American politics since I was eight. That was in 1968. It was an interesting year. I was a huge Eugene McCarthy supporter, so I guess he was the first senator I...

I need a tube-shaped bathtub, to play the tuba in. I make love like I make music—in a shower that’s in a phone booth that’s in 1981, the year before I was born.

We spend millions of dollars every year just for the right to pay our taxes, but once again, do we really need to do that? Why don’t we simplify it? And I’ve certainly looked at...

I am currently doing about 30 charity auctions a year.

I have plenty of dream roles because there is so much I want to do, but my dream year would be to be in a single-camera comedy and then, on my hiatus, film a little...

It breaks even. We lose ten, twenty grand every year. But then the people who are working say, Look, I’ll kick this back in, I don’t need to take this profit share. It’s very cooperative.

So if anybody wants to get me something, get me 60 crabs – one for each year. I don’t want no diamonds, I don’t want no shoes, I don’t want no party. I want some...

Actually, the year 2000 is our 25th anniversary of doing Captain & Tennille. I can’t believe it. It’s like, how is this possible?

I’m celebrating my 40th year in show business this year.

It’s easy to point out someone else’s mistake, harder to recognize your own. Especially because most people—except the lucky few like ourselves—are forced to live with their mistakes. So they learn to justify their mistakes,...

Growing up in Europe, tight clothing is pretty standard. When I got to college, clothes were loose, so I was going toward more loose stuff. As soon as I got back to New York, I...

During the year, our schools are busy slashing P.E. and recess to make more time for math. During the summer, we get ourselves worked into a tizzy that our children will forget their fractions.

‘Up’ was the best. The first 10 minutes of that movie made me weep. It was so well done… even if that montage was all I’d seen, just as a short film, that was great....

But a year before that, I was starting to drink beer on the set of the film Lucas (1986).

Jamie Moyer was in his third year as a major league pitcher and was, by his own admission, still wide-eyed, watching everything going on around him and soaking it in. He paid particular attention to...

I was there less than a year before I was assigned to the Paris bureau. I spent two years there and, in fact, before I even went on the staff I was sent to Europe...

My total year’s income from working as hard as I possibly could from writing went from like $30 one year to about $70 the next year. And it made me realize that maybe you couldn’t...

I played basketball and soccer my freshman year in high school.

A housing renaissance has begun. This may be hard to believe after the dizzying, six-year-long crash in home sales, construction and house prices. But housing turned the corner last year, and it will take off...

My New Year’s Resolution List usually starts with the desire to lose between ten and three thousand pounds.

This is the year you really put the stake in the ground.

At the end of their first years, there are few people who would have predicted that Truman would be elected in 1948 or that Reagan would get a second term. It’s always premature to make...

If unemployment could be brought down to say 2 percent at the cost of an assured steady rate of inflation of 10 percent per year, or even 20 percent, this would be a good bargain.

Because when we think about the real facts: 44 million Americans without health insurance, millions without jobs, a 50-year high on mortgage foreclosures, an historic high the third year in a row on personal bankruptcies.

So may the New Year be a happy one to you, happy to many more whose happiness depends on you!

We think if the economy remains weak that we could see mortgage rates trail down and we think that we could see rates below seven percent into early next year.

I’m spending a year dead for tax reasons.

When I was a child, the FA Cup was one of the crown jewels of the sporting year, along with the Grand National, Wimbledon and The Open. But with every announcement it seems to lose...

He’s a year shorter than me, but he’s a foot younger. I love him like the brother of an only child.

Americans in particular are myopic. They’re not traveling as much. When you were a college student, the next thing you would do on graduation was to take a year off and travel. That’s what I...

In Sierra Leone last year there was just the two of us hanging out of a helicopter and, when we were in Bosnia, I drove an armoured vehicle, thousands of miles.

One year, I was nominated for entertainer of the year, and I didn’t think I deserved it.

I suppose that one’s years spent living do not reflect a measure of our souls or strength of character.

Certainly, we continue to bring in new people. We’ll hire, net new, over 4,000 people this year, and attract great people into the company. I’m very bullish about the employee base and what it can...

IBM isn’t investing billions of dollars every year into research and development – and winning more patents than our top 10 competitors combined for more than a decade – as an academic exercise. But research...

What twelve year old wouldn’t want to play an evil wizard?

Maybe you don’t work for seven months a year, but you’ll work again. It may be a piece of garbage, so you wear hip boots.

Summer nearly does me in every year. It’s too hot and the light is unforgiving and the days go on way too long.

I have, I think to do a play a year is very good if you can afford the time and the energy because it’s difficult to do, it’s really the actors medium of course, because...

If newspapers were a baseball team, they would be the Mets – without the hope for those folks at the very pinnacle of the financial food chain – who average nearly $24 million a year...

I’m one year away from 70 and I’ve had a good run. I really believe I’m okay.

There was a solid year and a half, perhaps two years, after making ‘Temple Grandin,’ when I didn’t do anything. I just didn’t have much patience for roles that were silly, or light, or inconsequential.

So, where’s the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?

Fiction that responds to recent world events is a hostage to fortune, because all momentous events look very different a year, two years, three years later.

I wrote a million words in the first year, and I could never have done that outside of prison.

Also, for a team as strong as like ours, the Tour will always remain the biggest goal of the whole year, and personally I will certainly concentrate most of my energy on this race.

That was my challenge as a composer. Like with anything, to keep yourself interested in doing what you do, you set yourself challenges. So I said, Okay, I’ll try to write a hundred tunes in...

One cannot compare Skoda with the Volkswagen brand. Volkswagen is the world’s biggest brand selling over four million cars a year, so there is really nothing to compare.

Just give me 25 guys on the last year of their contracts; I’ll win a pennant every year.

I still look good. I’m trippin’, but people tell me that all the time. So check it out, I’m 63, and still kicking. I’ve been putting records out every year.
