dream moon order
In a way, J.F.K. was the high point of the American dream. In order to go to the moon and back, all we did was say we could - and we did.
honest not-honest ifs
I'm nothing if not honest.
teacher play community
I decided at age 9, but I was reinforced at age 13 when a teacher told me I had talent. I can't say she really motivated me because I already knew. I knew I had talent. I went to the Jewish community theater and got in plays there. Then I went for the movies.
ignorance thinking process
I really think that living is the process of going from complete certainty to complete ignorance.
country running kids
To teach our kids how to run our country, before they are called upon to run our country . . . if we don't, someone else will run our country.
confused character white
It must be remembered that the Bush White House has a separate talent for character assassination that must not be confused with a talent for governance.
winning salad stills
Tabouli is the best salad, but still, you don't win friends with salad
meaningful wake-up world
Wake up and live. It's a fast world out there.
doctors would-be way
I said to my doctor, 'You gotta testme, there's something wrong with me that I would be behaving this way.'
depressing fun people
I have more fun and more grand and glorious moments of my life than anyone I've never known. I know that some people call that manic-depress, and that other people call that being touched by God. I just call myself lucky.
attitude cocky people
When you Google me, you'll find a lot of people don't like Richard Dreyfuss. Because I'm cocky and I present a cocky attitude. But no one has ever disagreed with the notion I represent, that we need more civic education. So far there's 100 percent support for that.
mistake passionate debate
We mistake politics for legislative debate. You can be passionate without being personal.
dance uncles like-you
Well, I can't (sing or dance). Actually, I sing like a seal and dance like your Uncle Leo at that wedding where he got up and went 'ya, ya, ya'.
memories people want
I spoke so much about being a manic-depressive. I want to bring everyone back to my earliest memories of this companion of mine. Some people call this companion I have an ailment, or worse a terrible nightmare from which some people cannot awaken. I know that I have nothing to be ashamed of. I have nothing that should garner a stigma.
