Jules Feiffer

I have no ambitions at all! I have none... seriously. I want to be a good father. I want to be a good husband. I want to be a good son, a good brother, a good family member. I don't have any ambition to direct a film or write a play. I like acting.

Pilou Asbaek

. . . if you can tell the difference between good advice and bad advice, you don't need advice.

When you encounter seemingly good advice that contradicts other seemingly good advice, ignore them both.

Al Franken

I want to show that you can be a successful entertainment executive, be a good husband, be a good father, be a good friend, be down to earth, be a good person, and give back. If I can push that message out there into the world and pass it on to my son, then I'm OK.
