136138. I am not involved in any ‘issues’ because it’s too sensitive for me – or my wife – to get involved. Every time we express an opinion it becomes a whole thing in itself.

136139. I got into film-making because I was interested in making entertaining movies, which I felt there was a lack of. – Guy Ritchie
136140. I like death. I’m a big fan of it. – Guy Ritchie

136146. I’m not under too much of an illusion of how smart or un-smart I am because filmmaking ultimately is about teamwork. – Guy Ritchie
136147. I’m not politically motivated. I used to be – passionately. I used to be very Left wing. Then I went very Right wing, and now I rest somewhere in the middle. – Guy Ritchie

136156. Sitting in this chair, my recommendation would carry too much weight. – Michael Ritchie
136157. Los Angeles has always been on the table with us. – Michael Ritchie
136158. Just go out there and do it. It’s not the easiest path. – Michael Ritchie
136159. In next five to 10 years I probably would have done my best work, but I was afraid of having another 10 or 15 years ahead of me and feeling stale, so this was an opportunity to reinvigorate myself. – Michael Ritchie

136161. I’ll be going to the granddaddy of the Los Angeles theaters. – Michael Ritchie
136162. I have no interest in directing. I’d be a bad director. – Michael Ritchie
136163. I feel that I’m leaving Williamstown too early, but I’d rather leave too early than too late. – Michael Ritchie

136165. Even though there are some great keyboard players on the album, there are a number of songs with no keyboard on them and the backing is all guitar oriented. This is first time I’ve ever done this actually. – Lee Ritenour
136166. Well, Smoke n’ Mirrors has very much a world music flavor and it doesn’t park itself in one country. It borrows heavily from the Brazilian angle, which is dear to my heart, and I recorded several albums with that flavor. – Lee Ritenour

136170. Arranging is the way I put my stamp on my music as much as my guitar playing. – Lee Ritenour
136171. My son Wesley has just turned 13. He was 12 during the recording of this record and he is quite a drummer already and has been studying drums since he was four, but he’s also very interested in African percussion and studies percussion. – Lee Ritenour
136172. I used a baritone guitar with a very unusual tuning that became the body of the composition, while the classical guitar is on top of it with the main rhythm part. – Lee Ritenour
136173. I don’t have a lot of respect for talent. Talent is genetic. It’s what you do with it that counts. – Martin Ritt
136174. For the greater beauty of the instrument, the balls representing the planets are to be of considerable bigness; but so contrived, that they may be taken off at pleasure, and others, much smaller, and fitter for some purposes, put in their places. – David Rittenhouse
136175. But Dr. Smith says, and I believe it to be a true state of the case, that he himself gave a course of Lectures in Natural Philosophy, during the same winter, and that the money raised by them was also applied towards paying for the Orrery. – David Rittenhouse

136177. I think I would cope like anyone copes with any tragedy. I’m sure I would be very upset for a while and then there would come a point where I would either have to stay in this place of darkness and anger, or I’d have to accept that it happened. – Jason Ritter

136191. If there’s anything worse than a woman living alone, it’s a woman saying she likes it. – Thelma Ritter
136192. Actually, when I first started dabbling in photography, I was still working for my parents as a salesman. – Herb Ritts
136193. Even though I didn’t get a business degree, I enjoyed learning about economics. – Herb Ritts
136194. For me, the most important thing I learned was just honing my eye. I think I had a good eye. – Herb Ritts
136195. Generally, the French highly promote culture and the arts, and photography is in their blood. – Herb Ritts
136196. I always enjoyed art history because, growing up in California, my exposure was limited, and it was a new experience. To learn the history of art opened up certain things to me, made me see. It intrigued me. – Herb Ritts
136197. Regardless of whether you speak the language or are familiar with a culture, the picture should hold up. – Herb Ritts
136198. I was an economics major, which I enjoyed because I had a good business sense. – Herb Ritts
136199. When you start out, you’re not really aware. I didn’t have a sense of photographic history. – Herb Ritts
136200. What I particularly liked was that, coming from California and not being involved in the New York scene, I developed my personal way, in my own way, at my own pace. – Herb Ritts
136201. Well, I liked it – that was the main thing. I liked it, but I didn’t think of it in terms of a career. I didn’t really know; I didn’t really think about it. One thing just led to another until finally I quit my job as a salesman and found myself working as a photographer. – Herb Ritts
136202. The education, the cultural awareness, is different in Europe, especially in France, from that in the United States. So I think the public will be much more appreciative of many images. – Herb Ritts
136203. That’s why I felt so at home when I went to Africa. It didn’t matter that I was halfway around the world in a foreign country, because all those elements are universal. And I think that’s one thing about my work: It’s universal. – Herb Ritts
136204. Within two hours of where I live, you have mountains and desert as location. I like the natural elements that abstract into light, texture, shape and shadow. – Herb Ritts
136205. Many people who excel are self-taught. – Herb Ritts
136206. I’d go down to the end of my street, to a garage that had a certain feeling about it, or a particular light; I’d take a picture of a friend who needed a head shot. That’s how I learned, instead of having school assignments and learning camera techniques. – Herb Ritts
136207. I think knowing people by first names, not by what they do sexually, is really what it’s about. Not being afraid. Fear is the enemy. I’ve always been comfortable with being gay. – Herb Ritts
136208. I think a lot of the time these days people are so concerned about having the right camera and the right film and the right lenses and all the special effects that go along with it, even the computer, that they’re missing the key element. – Herb Ritts
136209. I like form and shape and strength in pictures. – Herb Ritts
136210. I did grow up next door to Steve McQueen, who was a very famous movie star at the time, but as a kid it didn’t impress me. We always had great fun with him. He would take us out on Sundays on his motorcycles, riding around in the desert; he was like a second father. – Herb Ritts
136211. I’m pretty selective. I generally edit the contact sheets and then do work prints. Because I have my own lab and printers, I can afford the luxury of going through the contact sheets for black-and-white, making up work prints, seeing them big, and honing them down. – Herb Ritts
136212. Once you develop your own style, you know when you’re able to give your best. Feeling at home is part of it, and I don’t think that’s an L.A. thing. It’s a matter of the environment and of what affects you. – Herb Ritts
136213. Oblivion is the rule and fame the exception, of humanity. – Antoine Rivarol
136214. Vices are often habits rather than passions. – Antoine Rivarol
136215. To lose one’s self in reverie, one must be either very happy, or very unhappy. Reverie is the child of extremes. – Antoine Rivarol
136216. The only thing wealth does for some people is to make them worry about losing it. – Antoine Rivarol
136217. Speech is external thought, and thought internal speech. – Antoine Rivarol

136219. Man spends his life in reasoning on the past, in complaining of the present, in fearing future. – Antoine Rivarol
136220. It is, no doubt, an immense advantage to have done nothing, but one should not abuse it. – Antoine Rivarol
136221. It is the dim haze of mystery that adds enchantment to pursuit. – Antoine Rivarol
136222. Ideas are a capital that bears interest only in the hands of talent. – Antoine Rivarol
136223. Gold like the sun, which melts wax, but hardens clay, expands great souls. – Antoine Rivarol

136225. Memory always obeys the commands of the heart. – Antoine Rivarol
136226. Reason is the historian, but passions are the actors. – Antoine Rivarol
136227. You take a plug and put it in a socket, and that’s what the theatre is-it lights up right away. You speak, and they respond immediately. – Chita Rivera
136228. San Francisco has just blown us all away. I also understand Angels in America didn’t do well there. – Chita Rivera
136229. Somebody told me once I wasn’t Latin enough, and that made me laugh. – Chita Rivera
136230. Southern California, they have been amazing. They’re totally with us. – Chita Rivera
136231. The show did go on, but came very close to not going on at all. – Chita Rivera
136232. Theatre is immediate gratification. – Chita Rivera
136233. We were taking collections for people with AIDS in New York around Easter. – Chita Rivera
136234. You can feel whether an audience is tightened up and pulled back. Of course the opposite is an audience like we’ve been having in LA, which is fabulous. – Chita Rivera
136235. I’ve played American, Italian, Greek, French. I’ve been really lucky that way. – Chita Rivera
136236. We’re going to Puerto Rico, where we’re gonna close. And we’re so excited, we can’t see straight. – Chita Rivera
136237. My hairdresser and I found ourselves shopping at Bloomingdale’s with nothing to do for days. – Chita Rivera
136238. It’s communication – that’s what theatre is all about. – Chita Rivera
136239. I’m not comfortable with just me, me, me. That’s boring. – Chita Rivera
136240. I’m an old-fashioned girl. – Chita Rivera
136241. I’d like to get the word out there, the word has to be spread. – Chita Rivera
136242. I was busy welcoming a new experience. I had never done a movie before. – Chita Rivera
136243. I have to make this love affair believable enough. It’s very European. – Chita Rivera
136244. I have been very lucky, I have only had one bad experience. – Chita Rivera
136245. I can tell you where my Tonys are. They’re in a beautiful place in my living room, in a glass cabinet. – Chita Rivera
136246. Beauty is not everything! – Chita Rivera
136247. After about 15 minutes, you feel that you’re winning them over. – Chita Rivera
136248. Through her paintings, she breaks all the taboos of the woman’s body and of female sexuality. – Diego Rivera
136249. July 13, 1954 was the most tragic day of my life. I had lost my beloved Frida forever. To late now I realized that the most wonderful part of my life had been my love for Frida. – Diego Rivera
136250. I did not know it then, but Frida had already become the most important fact in my life. And would continue to be, up to the moment she died, 27 years later. – Diego Rivera
136251. If I ever loved a woman, the more I loved her, the more I wanted to hurt her. Frida was only the most obvious victim of this disgusting trait. – Diego Rivera
136252. This is the year of Katrina and Iraq. How the war ends is more important than how it began. However you feel about the war, you have to be compassionate and loving towards our troops. – Geraldo Rivera
136253. Reject racial or religious hate. Embrace moderate Islam. – Geraldo Rivera
136254. Rich people who own mansions on the beach shouldn’t get federal subsidies. If you want to stay there, take the risk. – Geraldo Rivera
136255. Saturday Night Live is hitting me on a regular basis again. This is my fourth decade that I’ve been lampooned on Saturday Night Live. – Geraldo Rivera
136256. The biggest stories in 2005 were the national disasters. – Geraldo Rivera
136257. The courage in journalism is sticking up for the unpopular, not the popular. – Geraldo Rivera
136258. The elite media has been caught in so many lies because of false statements that its whole reputation has eroded, their circulation is down, and their profits are down. – Geraldo Rivera
136259. Your performance gets you promoted. It doesn’t matter if you’re brown, back or white. – Geraldo Rivera
136260. There’s no way New Orleans will ever be the city it was. I think it will have half the population. They may create a sort of Disneyland at the French Quarter for tourists. The rest I don’t know. – Geraldo Rivera
136261. To see those babies with no food for three of four days, old people sitting in the hot sun, when you see these poor people, you cannot help but being compassionate or affected. – Geraldo Rivera
136262. When a Spanish man cries it’s not a sign of weakness. – Geraldo Rivera
136263. With years of experience doing whatever it takes to get to the bottom of each story, I am looking forward to covering the stories in the human dimension and impart the passion and visceral reactions the audience seeks. – Geraldo Rivera
136264. One thing about these storms, we know how disruptive things can be when we depend on the system to keep working. What would happen if the terrorists do it? Knock down the power, destroy bridges, cut the water supply? – Geraldo Rivera
136265. Never take a job where winter winds can blow up your pants. – Geraldo Rivera
136266. The real Michael Jackson that has not been seen… with children, one in diapers, the other two toddlers. – Geraldo Rivera

136274. I’d like to give divorce a good name. – Geraldo Rivera
136275. I’d work to make it hip again to spend time in our fabled and fabulous land. But with a Puerto Rican father and a Jewish mother, I would probably be better suited as mayor of New York. – Geraldo Rivera
136276. I’m old, but I’m still cute and strong. And very butch. – Geraldo Rivera
136277. I’m tired of getting made fun of. – Geraldo Rivera
136278. I’ve made a connection with the television audience by being a proud Latino man. I am passionate for what I do, courageous in the face of peril, honest and straightforward. – Geraldo Rivera
136279. It’s a great pleasure having survived six generations of TV critics. – Geraldo Rivera
136280. Jackson and I spent the day together, just me and him and his children. Little underlings came and went. The PR person came and went. It was just Michael and me and the kids. And it was very interesting. – Geraldo Rivera
136281. Mother Nature may be forgiving this year, or next year, but eventually she’s going to come around and whack you. You’ve got to be prepared. – Geraldo Rivera
136282. I’m in my 10th generation of TV critic now. – Geraldo Rivera
136283. Thank God we’re living in a country where the sky’s the limit, the stores are open late and you can shop in bed thanks to television. – Joan Rivers
136284. If God wanted us to bend over he’d put diamonds on the floor. – Joan Rivers

136286. It’s been so long since I’ve had sex I’ve forgotten who ties up whom. – Joan Rivers
136287. It’s so long since I’ve had sex I’ve forgotten who ties up who. – Joan Rivers
136288. My best birth control now is just to leave the lights on. – Joan Rivers
136289. My obstetrician was so dumb that when I gave birth he forgot to cut the cord. For a year that kid followed me everywhere. It was like having a dog on a leash. – Joan Rivers
136290. My routines come out of total unhappiness. My audiences are my group therapy. – Joan Rivers
136291. Never floss with a stranger. – Joan Rivers
136292. Our natures are a lot like oil, mix us with anything else, and we strive to swim on top. – Joan Rivers
136293. There is not one female comic who was beautiful as a little girl. – Joan Rivers
136294. She doesn’t understand the concept of Roman numerals. She thought we just fought in world war eleven. – Joan Rivers
136295. The first time I see a jogger smiling, I’ll consider it. – Joan Rivers
136296. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God’s gift, that’s why we call it the present. – Joan Rivers
136297. I’m Jewish. I don’t work out. If God had wanted us to bend over, He would have put diamonds on the floor. – Joan Rivers
136298. The ideal beauty is a fugitive which is never found. – Joan Rivers
136299. People say that money is not the key to happiness, but I always figured if you have enough money, you can have a key made. – Joan Rivers

136301. I wish I had a twin, so I could know what I’d look like without plastic surgery. – Joan Rivers
136302. Yeah, I read history. But it doesn’t make you nice. Hitler read history, too. – Joan Rivers
136303. Before we make love my husband takes a pain killer. – Joan Rivers
136304. Diets, like clothes, should be tailored to you. – Joan Rivers
136305. Don’t follow any advice, no matter how good, until you feel as deeply in your spirit as you think in your mind that the counsel is wise. – Joan Rivers
136306. Don’t tell your kids you had an easy birth or they won’t respect you. For years I used to wake up my daughter and say, ‘Melissa you ripped me to shreds. Now go back to sleep.’. – Joan Rivers
136307. Elizabeth Taylor has more chins than the Chinese telephone directory. – Joan Rivers
136308. Forty for you, sixty for me. And equal partners we will be. – Joan Rivers
136309. I don’t excercise. If God had wanted me to bend over, he would have put diamonds on the floor. – Joan Rivers
136310. I hate housework! You make the beds, you do the dishes and six months later you have to start all over again. – Joan Rivers
136311. I have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them. – Joan Rivers
136312. I have no methods; all I do is accept people as they are. – Joan Rivers
136313. I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw that my bath toys were a toaster and a radio. – Joan Rivers
136314. I succeeded by saying what everyone else is thinking. – Joan Rivers
136315. I blame my mother for my poor sex life. All she told me was ‘the man goes on top and the woman underneath.’ For three years my husband and I slept in bunk beds. – Joan Rivers
136316. A man can sleep around, no questions asked, but if a woman makes nineteen or twenty mistakes she’s a tramp. – Joan Rivers
136317. I told my mother-in-law that my house was her house, and she said, ‘Get the hell off my property.’ – Joan Rivers
136318. What I really remember is that people camped out everywhere, and the fact everybody expected it might turn into a big nightmare with all sorts of hassles because back in those days everybody was smoking pot and taking acid. – Johnny Rivers
136319. In 1965, Gibson made the red one I use now, and a black one, which was the first black 335 they ever made. – Johnny Rivers
136320. In early ’57, I bought a Fender Telecaster. – Johnny Rivers

136326. The web site and the Internet are a whole new ball game. – Johnny Rivers
136327. When I came back to California in the early ’60s I was hanging out with Jimmy Bowen, Phil Spector, and I wanted to be a record producer and work with other artists. – Johnny Rivers
136328. I’ve got a Fender Concert amp from the ’60s, the one Joe Osborn used. He played his bass through it. – Johnny Rivers
136329. Even Woodstock turned out to be a disaster. Everybody was stuck in the mud and people got sick. – Johnny Rivers
136330. The first time I went to New York, I met Alan Freed. – Johnny Rivers
136331. I’d gone through periods where I didn’t work live performances for probably seven or eight months at a time. – Johnny Rivers
136332. I was working at this club in downtown L.A. from four to eight at night, just Eddie Rubin, the drummer, and I. – Johnny Rivers
136333. I think my favorite album was probably Realization. – Johnny Rivers
136334. I think after 1970 or so, after I sold Soul City, I took off for awhile and didn’t do too many gigs. – Johnny Rivers
136335. I loved playing and I was actually working two jobs. – Johnny Rivers
136336. I learned some chords and I started watching anybody I could, once I really got into it. – Johnny Rivers
136337. I got to see all these incredible blues players, like Jimmy Reed. – Johnny Rivers
136338. Guys like Otis Blackwell and Bobby Darin, and all the guys who were writing songs for Elvis at the time, just hanging around, writing songs, talking about music. – Johnny Rivers
136339. But I always loved songs with great lyrics. – Johnny Rivers
136340. Alan’s publishing company was in the Brill Building, and of course, the Brill Building was where all the songwriters hung out because that’s where all the publishers were. – Johnny Rivers
136341. After that initial success, every chance we got we’d hire that remote recording truck and just record stuff at the Whisky because it was so inexpensive. – Johnny Rivers
136342. About two months into the Whisky, I borrowed some money and rented a remote recording truck. – Johnny Rivers
136343. I accepted an offer to do a concert for the reopening of the Mall of Memphis. – Johnny Rivers

136347. Any art communicates what you’re in the mood to receive. – Larry Rivers

136349. The Emmys are flat-out fun. – Melissa Rivers
136350. The interviews have been a little tough due to the fact that we’re interviewing dogs. We see a lot of contestants licking themselves, but we’re used to that from covering the Grammys. – Melissa Rivers
136351. My goals are to hit .300, score 100 runs, and stay injury-prone. – Mickey Rivers
136352. What was the name of that dog on ‘Rin Tin Tin’? – Mickey Rivers
136353. We’ll do all right if we can capitalize on our mistakes. – Mickey Rivers
136354. These guys are so old they’re eligible for meals on wheels. – Mickey Rivers

136356. Me and George and Billy are two of a kind. – Mickey Rivers
136357. It was so cold today that I saw a dog chasing a cat, and the dog was walking. – Mickey Rivers
136358. I felt alone out there, like I was on a desert island. I felt like Gilligan. – Mickey Rivers
136359. I don’t get upset over things I can control, because if I can control them there’s no sense in getting upset. And I don’t get upset over things I can’t control, because if I can’t control them there’s no sense in getting upset. – Mickey Rivers

136365. The great musicians are those who can reach people, who can make people feel something. – Sam Rivers
136366. Well I’m a third-generation musician. My Grandfather’s a musician and my father and mother were both musicians and so I’m a musician. It was just natural that I should be a musician ’cause I was born into the family. – Sam Rivers
136367. And the fact that I see so many films really seems to amaze certain people. – Jacques Rivette
136368. Many filmmakers pretend that they never see anything, which has always seemed odd to me. – Jacques Rivette
136369. When you see the films of certain young directors, you get the impression that film history begins for them around 1980. – Jacques Rivette
136370. Their films would probably be better if they’d seen a few more films, which runs counter to this idiotic theory that you run the risk of being influenced if you see too much. – Jacques Rivette
136371. Whereas with Sirk, everything is always filmed. No matter what the script, he’s always a real director. – Jacques Rivette
136372. For me, the film has to be incredibly bad to make me want to pack up and leave. – Jacques Rivette
136373. And Twin Peaks, the Film is the craziest film in the history of cinema. I have no idea what happened, I have no idea what I saw, all I know is that I left the theater floating six feet above the ground. – Jacques Rivette
136374. And I took a long time to appreciate Lynch. – Jacques Rivette
136375. Cocteau is someone who has made such a profound impression on me that there’s no doubt he’s influenced every one of my films. – Jacques Rivette
136376. I guess I like a lot of directors. Or at least I try to. – Jacques Rivette

136380. When buying shares, ask yourself, would you buy the whole company? – Rene Rivkin
136381. It’s a technical, fairly difficult job that has no particular political connotations, so I doubt there are any big campaign contributors dying to be on the Fed. And remember, it doesn’t pay very well, certainly by Republican standards. – Alice Rivlin
136382. The increase in inequality in income is a longtime trend, but the pressure on middle- and low-income workers is going up rapidly. Especially if they live in an area where there are high housing and gas prices, like California. – Alice Rivlin
136383. The job of the Central Bank is to worry. – Alice Rivlin
136384. He who does not know how to look back at where he came from will never get to his destination. – Jose Rizal
136385. He who does not love his own language is worse than an animal and smelly fish. – Jose Rizal
136386. It is a useless life that is not consecrated to a great ideal. It is like a stone wasted on the field without becoming a part of any edifice. – Jose Rizal
136387. The youth is the hope of our future. – Jose Rizal
136388. There can be no tyrants where there are no slaves. – Jose Rizal
136389. While a people preserves its language; it preserves the marks of liberty. – Jose Rizal
136390. A conservative is a liberal who got mugged the night before. – Frank Rizzo
136391. The streets are safe in Philadelphia, it’s only the people that make them unsafe. – Frank Rizzo
136392. I like radio better than television because if you make a mistake on radio, they don’t know. You can make up anything on the radio. – Phil Rizzuto
136393. I’ll take anyway to get into the Hall of Fame. If they want a batboy, I’ll go in as a batboy. – Phil Rizzuto
136394. They’ve got so many Latin players we’re going to have to get a Latin instructor up here. – Phil Rizzuto
136395. My biggest role as director on the film is keeping a sense of the overview – how to cast the movie and shoot it in such a way that it will cut together. And how to design the style and tone. – Jay Roach
136396. You could get in rehearsals, pre-production, anything that would actually contribute to the understanding of how a film gets made. I actually find those things increase people’s interest in a movie and like that better than worrying about showing the tricks behind the curtain. – Jay Roach
136397. When I’m shooting, really the audience I’m thinking the hardest about is that first test screening audience who I want to like the film and that first opening weekend audience. – Jay Roach
136398. We had to do the same thing here. To top that sequel was quite a task. Mike had a couple of good conceptual humour and character ideas, which got me back into it. – Jay Roach
136399. We collaborate on everything. I’m involved in the writing and pre-production. There’s a whole bunch of people who keep in touch at every step about everything. – Jay Roach
136400. The success of the second ‘Austin Powers’ caught us by surprise a little bit. We had decided not to do even a second one, unless the audience wanted it and we could do something better. – Jay Roach
136401. The DVD does make it a little easier for myself to trim things that are otherwise very difficult to let loose of – knowing that they’ll make it on the DVD. – Jay Roach
136402. The commentary track became a lot like the movie and there are some funny, long, awkward pauses that you can tell we’re just trying to find stuff to say. None of us had gotten to really talk about the movie until that moment and they were in New York and we were in L.A. – Jay Roach
136403. Sometimes I would like the opportunity to do character-driven comedy and that’s really what I was trying to do in Meet The Parents. I think in a way this is a more old fashioned type of comedy. – Jay Roach
136404. My favorite laser disk ever was the laser disk for The Graduate, which had a commentary track that wasn’t even the filmmakers, it was a professor, some film criticism guy who just happen to be this amazing commentator who went off into the whole theory of comedy. – Jay Roach
136405. It was an interesting process trying to get Bob to talk about the film because he’s such a shy person. He generally likes to talk when he really knows he has something to say. – Jay Roach
136406. I’ve recently enjoyed the Paul Thomas Anderson commentaries and the David Fincher commentaries. – Jay Roach
136407. I’m not one of these directors, so far, that wants to have a whole separate director’s cut of these things. So far they’ve turned out to be kind of the length that they wanted to be. – Jay Roach
136408. But I couldn’t cut that whole septic tank scene out because the audience liked it so much. So I sort of fell right back into getting a cheap laugh, but I still loved it. – Jay Roach
136409. As long as we, again, kind of keep earning the sequels with material and I’m confident Mike can, I’m in. You know I always want to do those. But I also want to keep going in some of the direction as Meet the Parents has. – Jay Roach
136410. On the other track I got to talk with Jon Poll, my editor, and we go into more detail about the decisions we made in both the production and the post-production. So I hope the combination becomes something worth collecting. – Jay Roach

136414. I figure if it’s turns out well the film will have its own momentum and will carry into the video release. So it’s hard to really picture the DVD version when I’m in production. – Jay Roach
136415. I hope we’re all kind of influencing each other now to keep the quality up on those things. They seem to be getting better and better and better as there’s not only sort of a film geek audience, there’s also a general interest in the overall film consuming population. – Jay Roach
136416. I love making people laugh. It’s an addiction and it’s probably dysfunctional, but I am addicted to it and there’s no greater pleasure for me than sitting in a theater and feeling a lot of people losing control of themselves. – Jay Roach
136417. I think we’ll all keep pushing each other, which is a great thing. – Jay Roach
136418. I really enjoy the consolation when I’m having to cut loose stuff I love, of saying ‘Well, at least it will make it onto DVD.’ There’s a couple of scenes which I liked very much, but couldn’t fit them into the film that are on there. – Jay Roach
136419. Because I actually find the next take after they’ve controlled it a little bit and repressed the laughter is actually a really interesting take, because that’s still going on underneath the surface. That struggle to maintain composure becomes part of the joy of the scene. – Jay Roach
136420. I think sequels should be earned and we won’t do it unless the script is better than the first one. – Jay Roach

136442. I’m fairly competant as a director and actor, but I am Mr. Neurotic as a writer. I just don’t have enough confidence in my abilities to take criticism well. I take it personally. Start with ‘It’s a masterpiece,’ and then tell me what you think could be changed. – Tim Robbins

136828. I don’t think that players learn how to play any other aspect of the game in high school or college. – Oscar Robertson

136866. But I never, never thought of the ministry nor did – of course, television when I was growing up, there was no television. So I didn’t know anything about it. – Pat Robertson
