Reading a script is usually as exciting as reading a boilerplate legal document so when you read one that makes you feel as if you're seeing the movie you know it's something different.

People usually think according to their inclinations speak according to their learning and ingrained opinions but generally act according to custom.

I have discovered in 20 years of moving around a ballpark that the knowledge of the game is usually in inverse proportion to the price of the seats.

Anyone who acquires more than the usual amount of knowledge concerning a subject is bound to leave it as his contribution to the knowledge of the world.

Science fiction writers I am sorry to say really do not know anything. We can't talk about science because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial and usually our fiction is dreadful.

My birth neither shook the German Empire nor caused much of an upheaval in the home. It pleased mother caused father a certain amount of pride and my elder brother the usual fraternal jealousy of a hitherto only son.

I have experienced jealousy possessiveness verbal abuse and violence from men but I have also experienced jealousy possessiveness verbal abuse and violence from women usually when I failed to respond to their advances.

Those who are believed to be most abject and humble are usually most ambitious and envious.

I think intelligence is usually sexy until it becomes irritating. After that you're stuck.

Usually I say I have no imagination.

I like something where I can really use my imagination and be an active participant in the construction of the monster and usually that's in the world of the supernatural or the world of the fantastic so that's why those kinds of stories about demons and the supernatural appeal to me or maybe I'm really interested in that subject.

To me it's far more efficient to mobilize the imagination. It's far more efficient to hear a creaking step for example than to see the face of a monster which usually looks ridiculous and where you know that the blood is ketchup.

It is usually the imagination that is wounded first rather than the heart it being much more sensitive.

Confidence and a good sense of humor can usually win a chick over.

An emotional man may possess no humor but a humorous man usually has deep pockets of emotion sometimes tucked away or forgotten.

Wit is a weapon. Jokes are a masculine way of inflicting superiority. But humor is the pursuit of a gentle grin usually in solitude.

I do portraits. I usually do live models in a class environment but I've been painting at home more. I really love the human form and I love faces. I've tried to do landscapes a few times.

I love being on stage if I'm not on a set. If I'm at home I'm usually in my office editing or reconstructing my website or whatever it may be. I just love putting creativity into a performance so if the right script comes along and I certainly am reading comedies and dramas now then I'm ready willing and able to give it a shot.

My free time at home is usually spent emailing listening to music reading and talking on the phone. I wish I was on the phone less but I have been fortunate to stay in touch with so many incredible friends.

I can write pretty much anywhere if you give me time and some quiet. The home is not usually the best place because I have four children. It's usually pandemonium around here!

I usually write away from home in coffee shops on trains on planes in friends' houses. I like places where there's stuff going on that you can lift your eyes see something interesting overhear a conversation.

Recently I have come to assume that any call to my landline is from a telemarketer or an automated call from Terminex letting me know that our regularly scheduled pest-extermination service will occur on its regular schedule. So I usually ignore my home phone.

At every party there are two kinds of people - those who want to go home and those who don't. The trouble is they are usually married to each other.

The average husband enjoys the total effect of his home but is usually unable to contribute any of the details of work and organisation that make it enjoyable.
