When I'm talking to a large audience, I imagine that I'm talking to a single person.

Now, there are so many movies, so many festivals, and so many awards going on, each judged with each other, like your work is worse than others and that's not fair. How can you tell what's best and what's worst from these awards? We're talking about art.

I listen like mad to any conversation taking place next to me just trying to hear why this is funny. Women's restrooms are especially great. I wash my hands twice waiting for people to come in and start talking.

It just seems that you were talking positively about McDonald's, that they are... attempting this healthy lifestyle, and yet when we're talking right now... it seems that you're saying they need to make more responsibility.

You meet new people. We just spent two hours with people we didn't know before, just talking about the Badgers.

Most of the successful people I've known are the ones who do more listening than talking.

I'm blessed with eight children - though I'm talking about eight adults now.

The message that I gave on the - on the steps today was that you need to stand for those things that are right and empower the individual. Believe in the power of one person. Don't believe that you can't do it. Everybody wants - everybody wants a shot. That we can all agree on. Beyond that, it becomes politics. I'm not talking politics.

We must stop talking about the American dream and start listening to the dreams of Americans.

Most of the arguments to which I am party fall somewhat short of being impressive, owing to the fact that neither I nor my opponent knows what we are talking about.

I got to talking to an old actor, and he had a bunch of stories about the Rough Riders.

I don't mind talking about my two daughters, but I don't feel comfortable denying them their privacy.

The focus should not be on talking. Talk is cheap. It must be on action.

It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much.

The trouble with talking about acting is that it's like sex. It's enormously fun to do but just dreadfully embarrassing when you have to talk about it.

Now, people when I say that look at me and say, 'What are you talking about, Joe? You're telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?'. The answer is yes, that's what I'm telling you.
