You learn timing on the road. You learn structure and how to read an audience. You learn so much about the business of laughter that you can't learn on a set, because it's all on you. Sometimes you bomb, and you know not to tell that joke again... You just hope people find the humor in the awkwardness.

I hope to make acting my career for the rest of my life, if I can.

My greatest desire is that the hope that has overcome fear in my country will help vanquish it around the world.

I hope that I serve by being a teacher.

I hope that seeing the excitement of solving this problem will make young mathematicians realize that there are lots and lots of other problems in mathematics which are going to be just as challenging in the future.

No, I am not a homosexual. If I were a homosexual, I would hope I would have the courage to say so. What's cruel is that you are forcing me to say I am not a homosexual. This means you are putting homosexuals down. I don't want to do that.

I hope to continue writing. I hope to continue teaching.

I hope to work with kids any way possible.
