people done accepting
I don't accept what people say. I took something to be copied recently, to be enlarged and blown up, and they said it couldn't be done, and I went somewhere five minutes away, and they did it.
answers care hard
It's hard for me to answer a question from someone who really doesn't care about the answer.
cancer survival attention
Cancer is enough to get my attention.
opposites care smoothies
With me, personal relationships are like my religion. I care that deeply about them. I am the complete opposite of a manipulative smoothie.
wise mean guy
I never mean to be disrespectful, and I don't mean to be a wise guy.
confused people want
I would rather people take me as straightforward and not have to wonder if I'm kidding or not. Because what I have to say, and what I'm interested in doing and communicating, is worthwhile enough that I don't want to muck it up with people being confused about where I'm really coming from.
people actors ratios
I enjoy comedic things. People don't understand it's the hardest thing to do. We have a ratio of 25-to-1 between good dramatic actors and people who are considered good comic actors.
harder
Everyone is having a harder time than it appears.
hurt principles doe
Tom doesn't have any principles, or if he does, he puts them aside whenever they're inconvenient. The truth hurts, doesn't it, Tom?
rich death-row seems
It seems there are no rich on death row.
civilization government people
I don't want to have anything to do with the government. And yet if we don't have any regulations, there goes civilization, there goes security, and there goes protecting you against what people are going to sell you.
play missing acting
I don't miss acting. I don't even see movies. I don't see plays. I don't watch television.
witty torah dare
I wouldn't even dare read the Torah, let alone attempt a witty observation on the Torah.
new-york crazy book
I do everything from home. I broadcast commentaries for CBS News Radio every day - from home, on a disk that I mail in. I write a weekly op-ed piece for the 'New York Daily News,' and any books or plays or movies that I'm crazy enough to write, I do that from home.
