I believe that stress is a factor in any bad health.

Since the reduction of risk factors is the scientific basis for primary prevention the World Health Organization promotes the development of an integrated strategy for prevention of several diseases rather than focusing on individual ones.

People need to realise what real happiness and success is because success as an actor is fleeting. You can be up there one day and gone the next.

I don't think actors should ever expect to get a role because the disappointment is too great. You've got to think of things as an opportunity. An audition's an opportunity to have an audience.

That's the great thing about a tractor. You can't really hear the phone ring.

I remember that. I was talking to him and I said how great it would be if actors had a tail because I have animals and a tail is so expressive. On a cat you can tell everything. You can tell if they're annoyed. You can tell whether they're scared.

I am hoping that I can be known as a great writer and actor some day rather than a sex symbol.

Show me a great actor and I'll show you a lousy husband. Show me a great actress and you've seen the devil.

It was only when I finished the course and left my graduation diploma on the bus that I realised I'd become an actor.

Under the administration of George W. Bush you will recall federal spending grew pretty significantly. At the same time the number of people directly employed by the federal government shrank. One of the factors that explained the difference was contracting.

It's a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one's safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract.

If you are working 50 hours a week in a factory you don't have time to read 10 newspapers a day and go back to declassified government archives. But such people may have far-reaching insights into the way the world works.

You built a factory out there good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads that the rest of us paid for. You hired workers that the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for.

An actor is supposed to be a sensitive instrument. Isaac Stern takes good care of his violin. What if everybody jumped on his violin?

My first film as an actor was 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High ' a glorious experience that spoiled me for future films.

The world is full of people whose notion of a satisfactory future is in fact a return to the idealised past.

The factory of the future will have only two employees a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment.
