Quotable Quotes:

"To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day."

"I think it's wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly."

"If you fail to prepare, you're prepared to fail."

"Pair up in threes."

"[when asked for suggestions on how to judge acting] I have three tests. First, which dominates, the character or the actor? With very few exceptions it should be the character. Second, on film - as opposed to stage - we're pretty much playing basic emotions: love, anger, fear, pity. So the trick is whether you can come up with any fresh choices to present these common emotions. Third - and this is the quality that separates the great ones from the good ones - I look for a "joy of performing" quality. Who had that quality? As much as anyone, Jimmy Cagney [James Cagney]." (IMDB)

"No one can guarantee success in war, but only deserve it."

"Did you ever notice the ones that challenge the status quo without making a change?"

"If you think you're worried that they're gonna get jealous of your host, I suggest you just get laid, drunk, and stoned first."
