Text Quotes
I was born in Springfield and raised in West Springfield. My father ran a dry cleaning business and was a salesman. (Ran Quotes)
Growing up, I saw my mother cry exactly once. The morning of her brother’s funeral. One long tear ran down her cheek through her make up until she caught it near her mouth and patted it dry with a tissue she pulled from inside her sleeve. (Ran Quotes)

At the school I attended, the clergyman who ran the cathedral school in Shanghai would give lines to the boys as a punishment. They expected you to copy out, say, 20 or 30 pages from one of the school texts. But I found that rather than laboriously copying out something from a novel by Charles Dickens, it was easier if I made it up myself. (Ran Quotes)
I ran the effort to bring the 2012 Olympic Games to New York City. We lost - on a global scale. To my surprise, life went on, and I learnt that nobody cares about your failures as much as you do. (Ran Quotes)

My mom and I were super close when I was a kid, her and I sort of ran off from her ex-husband. It wasn’t such a good time for us and I remember listening to The Distillers with her. One time I actually asked her, ‘Mom, can I shave my head into a mohawk?’ (Ran Quotes)
One of the first houses we lived in was like out of a fairy story. We had a stream that ran through our garden, and we played with the ducks - we locked them in my mum’s office, and they pooed everywhere. It was crazy, picking blackberries and mushrooms, rabbits running through your legs. (Ran Quotes)
My father ran a famous L.A. nightclub complete with roller-rink - Flippers - in the early Eighties which was the West Coast’s answer to Studio 54. (Ran Quotes)
I remember a nightfall from childhood, far from home and off the known track: I’d been walking with some older boys, but they ran off and left me, and as darkness hurried in, I suddenly realised how far from home I was. (Ran Quotes)
When my mother died, I fell apart. My father wanted to control me. As a consequence, I ran away to America. (Ran Quotes)
When I was in jail, I was a lot of people’s favorite person. I practically ran the jail. I had more freedom than the police. (Ran Quotes)
In numerous years following the war, the Federal Government ran a heavy surplus. It could not (however) pay off its debt, retire its securities, because to do so meant there would be no bonds to back the national bank notes. To pay off the debt was to destroy the money supply. (Ran Quotes)
I’m excited that ‘The Good Guy’ is getting distribution because indie movies they’re not - people ran out of money and they’re not making these movies anymore. It’s all superhero movies or real obvious tent pole studio films. (Ran Quotes)
I was 23 years old, a freshman at university, and there I was, on the first day, sitting in a remedial English class. I was so ashamed I almost got up and left, but somehow I knew inside that if I ran away from this, I would hate myself forever. (Ran Quotes)
I used to run ten miles every other day and eat very little. I was living in London on my own for the first time and no one was checking on me. I wasn’t anorexic but lost three stone. I weighed around seven. It lasted six months until I ran out of willpower. (Ran Quotes)
I enjoyed school - although I ran away on the first day. I’d reminded the teacher that it was nearly time for ‘Watch With Mother’ on TV. (Ran Quotes)
When I was 17, I had my first proper girlfriend, and on Valentine’s Day, I painted a canvas of her, bought her a massage, put flowers on the stairs, and ran a bath. (Ran Quotes)
My first ‘Daily Show’ piece was pretending I had this terrible immigrant journey, so I went to talk to an immigration lawyer who would help out people, and I ran into him in Penn Station about three months after I’d gotten the green card. I said, ‘I got my green card yesterday.’ And he hugged me because he understood that level of relief. (Ran Quotes)
When ‘The Washington Post’ ran the first national story about FBI profiling in 1984, no one outside of law enforcement recognized the term. (Ran Quotes)
When my sister and I came along, my father’s political life was completely over. He ran for president the year I was born. So that was the end of it. He had been congressman first, then governor, before all that. So when we came along, he was running the Dayton newspaper. (Ran Quotes)
When I was young, I ran to see Astaire and Rogers, Huston, Lubitsch - they were formative for me. I also read ‘Flash Gordon’ when I was 6, but if I were still reading it when I was 16, I’d have been an imbecile. (Ran Quotes)

I was supposed to do a film with Bill Shatner called ‘Free Enterprise 2.’ They were calling me into wardrobe, and they said they are holding off for a while.

George Bush ran a campaign where he bragged about being an anti-intellectual, dismissing his Harvard and Yale pedigree, pretending he was an American every day, ordinary everyman, and as a result of that, played up his fumbling speech because it signified that he was a good guy. That is deeply and profoundly anti-intellectual. (Ran Quotes)
When I first ran for Congress, I went to my daughter Alexandra, who was going to be a senior in high school, and said: ‘I have a chance to run. I may not win, but I’d be gone three nights a week. So, if you want me to stay, I’ll be happy to.’ And do you know what she said to me? ‘Mother, get a life!’ (Ran Quotes)
