The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren`t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
Ayn Rand
I put aside an hour every day to go over that monologue again and again for months, and every time I got to the end of it, I would crack up. - On Pulp Fiction (1994).
Christopher Walken
I love acting with kids, cause they`re great acting partners. They`re totally present. Even when they`re acting, they`re still available and you can crack them up or something weird will happen and they`ll go with it. You can throw them little curve-ba...
Mark Ruffalo
I have moments where I`ve said, "Don`t tread on that crack in the pavement, don`t have a black cat walk in front of you." Deep down am I superstitious? No. Do I believe in trying to be as kind as possible and as compassionate as possible because ultimatel...
Nicole Kidman
My mom and I lived at Hollywood and Western, a drug-dealer and prostitute corner. It was pretty terrifying. I got beat up a lot. I saw people have sex in the alleys. I remember I was 5 years old, and this guy with a trench coat, needles and crack cornered...
Leonardo DiCaprio
Doing the second one was interesting, because I`d never had to go back to play a character again. It was three years between the two episodes. It was a bit easier because I was more used to the technical demands. In other films you rehearse, crack the sce...
Ewan McGregor
When asked what character from literature he would like to play: "Well, if we can expand the definition of literature to include comic books, I`d definitely love a crack at "General Zod" from "Superman". So I`m hoping that Bryan Singer makes a sequel to t...
Wentworth Miller
[on the attitude of "The Daily Show" (1996), referring to a role played by Dan Aykroyd on "Saturday Night Live" (1975), September 30, 2002]: We have always embraced stupidity. We have always worshipped at the altar of a man bent over with his butt crack e...
Jon Stewart
A lot of these movies, they`re really enjoyable to see. Really, it`s like smoking crack or something--you walk out and you feel diminished by it. It`s eye candy, just violence and sex. Definitely lots of sex, people making out or showing their tits, which...
Ethan Hawke
I guess I came to terms with my demons. Or else I`d be in big trouble, wouldn`t I? Horrifying as it was to crack up in the public eye, it made me look at myself and fix it. People were exploitative; that`s human nature. I`ll tell you, being pretty crazy w...
Margot Kidder
I am one of those guys who could do the most emotional scene and crack a joke instantly. I`m lucky. I`m just like an idiot savant. I have one enormously enjoyable, pleasurable--for me--talent, which is being able to act. I do it without any confusion or r...
James Woods
Wouldn`t want to write the X-Men, and I suppose the X-Men is the ultimate Marvel comic, and I really wouldn`t want to go anywhere near it at all, although on the other had I wouldn`t mind having a crack at something like the Punisher.
Garth Ennis
With the people, for the people, by the people. I crack up when I hear it; I say, with the handful, for the handful, by the handful, cause that`s what really happens.
Fannie Lou Hamer
We`ve been managing to hold him together and we thought we`d better have a crack at the big one this year because there may not be a next year.
John Parsons
We won`t find construction materials cheaper than they are now. These are huge budget numbers, but not when you consider 42,000 students, 5,000 employees and 48 schools. We might be a midsize district in Florida, but we crack the top 100 of school distric...
Antti Kohtala
This bill is the legislative equivalent of crack. It yields a short-term high but does long-term damage to the system and it`s expensive to boot.
Barney Frank
Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn`t seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
