Funny things tend not to happen to me. I am not a natural comic. I need to think about things a lot before I can be even remotely amusing.
It sounds funny but the 2008 Olympics were something that just kind of happened and I was lucky they came at a point when I was uninjured and well prepared. As a gymnast you can't ask for much more.
It's funny with fiction - once you cut something it hasn't happened anymore.
When human judgment and big data intersect there are some funny things that happen.
You know what's funny? I don't ever feel the need to escape. I have a strong marriage. I like my life. You hear about these guys having midlife crises - I don't see that happening to me.
I think the pattern of my essays is A funny thing happened to me on my way through Finnegans Wake.
Life was a funny thing that happened to me on the way to the grave.
Funny things happen to you in movies for silly reasons.
A funny thing happens in real estate. When it comes back it comes back up like gangbusters.
Everything is funny as long as it's happening to somebody else.
California is a fine place to live - if you happen to be an orange.
I've got some great guy friends. They can start out as crushes. But when you realize something isn't going to happen you make a choice whether or not the friendship is worth it. And it usually is. Then you can laugh about the fact that you used to have a crush on him or he had one on you.
It may happen sometimes that a long debate becomes the cause of a longer friendship. Commonly those who dispute with one another at last agree.
A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
Most importantly nothing has happened to change my conviction that freedom and the love of liberty remain the essential defining attributes of our national character as a people.
I take life as it happens. And I give myself a lot of freedom.
That happens every time I get behind a guitar regardless of what I'm saying 'cause music is freedom and being free is the closest I've ever felt to being spiritual.
