I hate flying, flat out hate its guts.
I don’t know if I have enough guts to do a whole standard jazz record.

Look, we want freedom and we want liberty in this country. But we’ve also got to have the guts to stand up and run a tight ship in America.

It’s ironic, really. Guys should be excited that I got Kristen Bell. If Brad Pitt gets Kristen Bell, it’s like, ‘Well, of course he did.’ With me, it should be, ‘Oh good, a normal-looking guy got her. Maybe I’ll get me a Kristen Bell.’ But guys hate my guts for always dating women I have no right to be with.
Women’s books are kind of discriminated against. If a man writes a book about his family stories, people think of it as literature. If it’s a woman, she’s ‘spilling her guts,’ and it’s not art.
If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country.

I can never kind of fathom a character’s journey beyond the moment when you go to black, any more than when people ask me what Jason Patric did with the tape recorder at the end of ‘Narc,’ you know what I mean? Even in ‘Blood, Guts,’ like, what happens down the road with these characters?
I still sweat. My guts are still grinding out there. Sometimes I have enough cotton in my mouth to knit a sweater.
I always look for the character that gets into your guts and tells you, ‘You have to play this.’ You have to be brave enough to let everything else go and let the character guide you. When I read a script, I look for that kind of pull.
My parents got ahead in the news business with wits, guts, and a creative interpretation of ‘fair game.’ They leased their first helicopter in 1985, when KTLA news crews were on strike. Maybe the crews had good grievances, maybe not. Either way, my parents ignored the strike and went to work.

I took my job for Nickelodeon very seriously, and back then, it wasn’t certainly as big of a network as it is now, culturally, and people my age didn’t know much about it. But I loved my time there. I really put everything I had into doing ‘Guts,’ and it actually taught me a lot about how to work really hard.
It takes a lot of guts to pull up stumps from a successful career, surrounded by the people you love.
Cutting up fowl to predict the future is, if done honestly and with as little interpretation as possible, a kind of randomization. But chicken guts are hard to read and invite flights of fancy or corruption.
I did this book ‘Harvest for Hope,’ and I learned so much about food. And one thing I learned is that we have the guts not of a carnivore, but of an herbivore. Herbivore guts are very long because they have to get the last bit of nutrition out of leaves and things.
Basically, I like anything with guts – Lead Belly, Bill Big Broonzy, Johnny Winter, the Stones.

I like guts in my leaders.

I don’t see on television the kind of blood and guts and body parts blown apart that maybe you’re referring to, but it certainly is in that BATMAN feature and I found it very offensive.

And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.
