I haven't got a very sweet tooth, but I love salted things like nuts. I would have to be dragged in by a lorry if I ate as many salted peanuts as I would like to.
Somehow I had to turn the salted peanuts in the cigar box into petits fours.
That is their way, those plagues, those scientists - peg, peg, peg - dig, dig, dig - plod, plod, plod. I wish I could catch a cargo of them for my place; it would be an economy. Yes, for years, you see. They never give up. Patience, hope, faith, perseverance; it is the way of all the breed.

Those are the moments people remember at the end of the game: You make a big shot. 'Yeah, he made a big shot.' I feel like those are the moments I work for and make sure I'm always ready for.
I found this book that had every 'Peanuts' strip from 1952 to 1955 and read every one. Amazing. So now I can say I have become a big 'Peanuts' fan.
If you desire to dig a well to reach water, your efforts are more fruitful if you dig one 100-foot-deep hole than if you dig ten holes each 10 feet deep.
I've never done a movie that's shot more than 40 days because I just don't do those kinds of films.
I'm a big believer in comedy writers. I've always defended the honor of all comedy writers. It's extremely difficult, but I've always felt that comedy writers far more easily can move toward drama than vice versa.
