Who doesn’t want to fly around in a spaceship?
I emceed in metro Detroit throughout college, and even when I moved to New York, I would actually fly back on a Friday, emcee on a Saturday, and fly back on Sunday so that I could audition during the week. It was a big part of my life.
I was 35 years old and in a position to take a shot at whatever I wanted to try. The Air Force said I was too old to fly fighter jets. I thought about becoming a fishing boat captain, before deciding that acting seemed pretty cool.
Then there was the challenge to keep doing better and better, to fly the best test flight that anybody had ever flown. That led to my being recognized as one of the more experienced test pilots, and that led to the astronaut business.
My daddy was a World War I pilot, and I just wanted to be able to fly like he did.

The day after my mom died I fly back to California and spend the three weeks before the California primary making arrangements for her cremation, planning and getting the house ready for a memorial service and covering political rallies in Southern California. The normalcy of work helps.
It’s just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.
I used to love getting on planes. I loved the packing and going places. Now I don’t because I’ve developed these really bad sinuses. I have to take a prednisone to fly, but it works, and I’m OK.
To me, the Northwest is the best. The air, it feels cleaner. The people are so nice and caring. Every time I fly in on a plane, I say, ‘I’m never leaving here.’ It’s just different. People who aren’t from here don’t get it. It just fits certain people.
I thought it would be good for the engineers and workmen who were building my spacecraft to see the pilot who would have to fly it hanging around. It might make them just a little more careful than they already were and a little more eager to get the work done on time if they saw how much I cared.
A paperwork error can get you on the fly list. A name similar to someone else can get you on the fly list, so there’s any number of opportunities where mistakes or abuses could probably put somebody in that horrible position of a government agency really clawing back your rights.
I’m inspired when I find out about something that I didn’t know was a remake. An example is, of course, stuff like ‘The Fly,’ or ‘The Thing,’ or even ‘The Blob.’ For our generation, all those things, whether it was ‘The Blob’ or ‘The Fly’ or something else, we had no idea they were remakes.
I hunt and fish, and I don’t fly on Lear jets, and I don’t smoke Cuban cigars.
For a while, I was saying ‘no’ way too often. I turned down ‘An Officer and A Gentleman,’ ‘Splash’ and ‘Midnight Express.’ I could name you tons more. I would go off and experience life instead of working – I was learning to fly jets, went on an African safari, sailed the Caribbean – which wasn’t necessarily bad.
I don’t judge others. I say if you feel good with what you’re doing, let your freak flag fly.
I would rather not to have to fly across the country at all, but obviously, as a federal party leader, I do.
I went to Vietnam during the Vietnam War to visit all the troops. We would fly into a hospital and serve mess to the guys, and we ate whatever they were eating. Then we slept there and flew out the next day to little bases where there were maybe 10 or 20 guys. Then we flew to another hospital.
A fly, Sir, may sting a stately horse and make him wince; but, one is but an insect, and the other is a horse still.
The Will Smith that you see in movies is exactly the same as Will Smith in real life. Except for when he plays a superhero, because the real Will Smith can’t fly. He can only hover.
If the ride is more fly, then you must buy.
If you don’t like the President, it costs you 90 bucks to fly to Washington to picket. If you don’t like the governor, it costs you 60 bucks to fly to Albany to picket. If you don’t like me – 90 cents.

The heart of standing is you cannot fly.
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, with the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
My encouragement: delete the energy vampires from your life, clean out all complexity, build a team around you that frees you to fly, remove anything toxic, and cherish simplicity. Because that’s where genius lives.
Sometimes it still seems unreal just to board a plane and fly to America, because that’s something that I’d always dreamed of, but I was completely sure would never happen, and sometimes, when I think about that, it still feels a bit unreal.
I can’t fly a flag for monogamy or whatever the opposite is; it depends on the person and on the situation.
You release these things, and if they fly then you have more.
When Curtis Mayfield made ‘Super Fly,’ he used the lyric to make a statement.

I hate to fly. I’m deathly afraid of it.
Let the little fairy in you fly!
I gotta say, Pluto is such a great character, and if I ever got to work with him, I’d be very happy. The scene where he gets caught in fly paper, he’s such a great dog!
If you want to be taken seriously, always check your fly.
I see film roles as lovely presents that come along now and again. I feel really lucky and say thank you very much. And if they fly me to L.A., I think, ‘God, I must really be doing well.’ I’ve worked with De Niro and Brando and Pacino, and that’s made me feel very lucky. But the films have never meant a lot to me.
We all are limited in that none of us can fly and none of us can run faster than some animals, but we figure out a way to go to Tokyo if we have to, right? Or we run faster than an animal with a race car.
For my prom, I wore a white suit with a burgundy shirt, tie and cummerbund, along with white shoes, a white trilby and a cane. I was extra fly that day.
Now I’m just a threat. I’m a threat out there. Guys are running out at me, and I’m able to either give them a pump fake or let it fly. Guys are going over the screens, and I’m able to get into the lane and find my teammates a lot better. It just makes things a lot easier for me.
I grew up fly fishing when I was a kid. The feeling of it is fun. I went fly-fishing on Lake Delaware once, and I caught a record brook trout.
At some private events, we’ll see the CEO of the company get up and do his ‘Rock Lobster’ dance. The band used to grumble that, ‘All they talk about is hair and don’t take us seriously,’ but I’ve realized that what this band does the best is let loose and let people’s freak flag fly.
One of the fastest things a fruit fly does is take information from its eyes and react accordingly.

I’m really enjoying the process of learning to fly. How it will fit into my life down the road – I’m looking forward to discovering that.
I’m lucky because I do get to fly first-class now.
There is no shortage of embarrassing facts about healthcare, and people die every day in the U.S. due to preventable errors – would you fly planes if you knew several of them would drop out of the sky every day?
