It's opportunity. It's opportunity not a check from government - it's opportunity that has always driven America and defined us as Americans.

The right way to reign in healthcare costs is not by applying more government and more controls and making it more like the post office it's by making it more like a consumer-driven market.

I think people like comedies and I think concept driven comedies seem to be working when it's a clear concept and you deliver funny stuff.

I have an older sister named Haley and she wanted to be an actress. So I wanted to be an actress. It's really funny the way that some people don't give kids enough credit for like really being driven and really wanting to do things so badly.

For years it's driven me crazy that women don't have better roles especially in comedies. I know so many funny women but I always felt... misogynist streak is too strong a term - but a dismissiveness.

We are driven by five genetic needs: survival love and belonging power freedom and fun.

The confidence is really driven by the woman - whether she can have the confidence that there will be enough earning or income to finance all the domestic spending - but also by the middle-income class which for many Asian countries has become the growth power for the economy.

When I'm acting I'm two beings. There's the one monitoring the distance between myself and the camera making sure I hit my marks and there is the one driven by this inner fire this delicious fear.

I think every chef not just in America but across the world has a double-edged sword - two jackets one that's driven a self-confessed perfectionist thoroughbred hate incompetence and switch off the stove take off the jacket and become a family man.

Don't be confused that my interest in religion faith and spirituality is driven by any sense of faith or spirituality of my own.

'The Purpose-Driven Life' is not just a mega-bestselling work of Christian faith it is the thing that every voter secular or not yearns for.

Men and women of every faith and good people with none at all sincerely strive to do right and lead a purpose-driven life.

In my books I never portray violence as a reasonable solution to a problem. If the lead characters in the story are driven to it it's at the extreme end of their experience.

Acting isn't for me. I don't like being told what to do. I'm more interested in set design more visually driven.

When I was very very young seven years old I heard there was school where you could go to learn to draw. That was my absolute driven passion to become an artist or a painter. So the romantic realist in me I studied to be a graphic design artist and an art teacher.

To me it all comes down to things being character-driven. It's hard for me to look beyond that. CG and all this cool stuff - so be it. But to me it pretty much begins and ends with character-driven plots rather than technologically-driven plots.

I was a 'Duck Hunt' and 'Mario' guy and stuff like that. I was never technologically driven. I never had all the cool new toys. I was the youngest child I wasn't the only child so I wasn't spoiled as a kid. And we were on the farm so we didn't have a lot. Also with computers I'm not very good with them. I just check my email.
