You care a lot about these stories you're writing, and you hope that someone else will care, too.

When what you do and care about is aligned with what the market wants and cares about, you've created a recipe for career success.

Books that you carry to the fire, and hold readily in your hand, are most useful after all.

I was a young boy. A stock car guy used to live across the street from us. He'd work on his car, and both of my older brothers became gearheads.

Freedom is not an ideal, it is not even a protection, if it means nothing more than freedom to stagnate, to live without dreams, to have no greater aim than a second car and another television set.

You've got to not care about what people think. You learn that as an actor. If you get a bad review, will you be destroyed by it? Or will you think you're God's gift when you get a rave review?

Voting for Romney after the train wreck of that was the eight years of W. Bush is like losing your pay check playing a rigged game of three-card monte and then playing the same game again a week later 'cause the cards are a different color.

Audiences are quite happy to be astonished, and they don't care who does that astonishing.

When all else fails, I am comforted by the fact that when I am ill or old, I will never be on my own. After all, you'd have to be a pretty terrible father if not one of your seven daughters was willing to take care of you at the end.

People generally pay attention to what they already know about and what they care about.

As an NFL player, and as a veteran in this game, no one cares what you're doing during the offseason. They only care about what you do on the football field.

Spending is not caring. Spending is what politicians do instead of caring. Spending more does not guarantee success. Politicians like to measure spending because it is easier than measuring actual metrics of accomplishment.

At first, we were militant about our faith, really in people's faces. We used to say, 'I don't care if they kick us off the stage - I'm gonna tell them about Jesus!' But what good did that do? They never invited us back to the club.

Image has an influence on what sort of car I will get to drive or deals that I'm offered by teams.

Most of us tend to be swayed by what we read. Judges are not superhuman. They, too, are mortals. This is why they have to be exceptionally careful in rendering decisions, which cause unintended consequences.

I really like Kendrick Lamar. I'm still a Talib Kweli fan, Lupe Fiasco, Mos Def, Common Sense - people who say things that are relevant to everyday life. I don't pay attention to artists that talk about throwing money away and the car that they drive.
