Jason Lee Quotations

Police figures show that, every month, more than 40 people nationwide commit suicide due to their escalating debts.

I can't say we will invest in any significant way with this first fund. But hopefully, when we move onto the fund number two, India will be a market that we pursue.

We're in the midst of putting together a strategic partnership on the retail side. And for office, we're looking at sub markets of Tokyo and other cities with good demographics.

It appears that he's a victim of a hit-and-run and we don't arrest victims.

It appears at this time, although the investigation is continuing, that he was struck by that white Town Car, lost control and plowed into the clinic. It appears that he's a victim of a hit-and-run and we don't arrest victims.

I thought, 'Everything is open for me. I can basically do what I want. Let's see how well I interpret this Lets see how well I pull this off.'

My name is Earl and I'm a jerk.

It feels great. Last year was my first year, so this year I'm just trying to do my best.

We were under a lot of pressure but we didn't allow them any real chances. It was as comfortable a victory as 1-0 in a vital match can possibly be.

When I first turned pro, it was March of '89-a month before my 19th birthday.

We didn't really beat them the way we wanted to beat them. We played well below our standards and whenever that happens we're not happy.

Yeah I'll do it. No I won't do it. Maybe I'll do it. Seven year contract.

When does Earl change, and how long does that take? It's a slow awakening. We have to walk that line of not having that happen too soon but not keeping him ignorant too long.

Those were always the guys that I admired. I think I've maintained a relatively sort of low-key profile. I try to do good work and make it about that.

We didn't play as well as we can and we're not getting carried away.

At the end of the day, if you are talking about a blatant fraud, registration is not gong to prevent it. What it does do is put (managers) on the map. Investment advisers are subject to regular inspections of their internal controls. So by registering, they do have an obligation to make sure their internal controls are much more solid than they would be if they were not registered. It doesn't prevent outright fraud, but it does add a deterrent.

The show really is balanced, from the writing to the way it's shot, with intelligence and humanity. It's always sweet at the end of the episode. You really do like Earl.

I try to do good things, you know, and good things happen when you keep yourself open like that, definitely.

That keeps Earl on his toes. If he were able to easily cross everything off, he would start to get a little cocky, I'm sure, and start to rush it a bit. Instead, he stills gets tossed around in the process, and that, to me, is an indication that he's still got a long way to go.

I didn't expect that, to be honest. I just thought the show was funny. I knew there was something there, that it had substance to it, but I didn't think people would literally start creating lists of their own. It's pretty fantastic that people laugh because of the show, but at the same time, they're genuinely considering things that 30-minute sitcoms don't usually make you think about. I'm proud of that.

My dream is that all South Africans from all walks of life will have the opportunity to read my books and use the information therein to successfully invest in property

I was born in Orange, California and I grew up in Huntington Beach. I started skateboarding when I was five and continued to do so off and on over the years.

I was a little nerdy, but I got along with everybody. I had fun at school - skateboarding, surfing, getting kicked out of class for making too much noise.

I know sour, which allows me to appreciate the sweet.

When you reach a certain status in Hollywood, you have to play a lot of games to stay in the limelight. It becomes more about being famous than being an actor.

Celebrities say they date other celebrities because they have the same job. But I think they just like dating famous people. Celebrities attract each other, like cattle.

I wasn't a kid who moved out from Iowa with aspirations of becoming a famous star - I was intrigued by the idea of filmmaking and by the idea of what it would be like to play a character in a movie.

It's difficult to get away from the shadow of a TV character.

Growing up in Huntington Beach, you were either a traditional sports athlete, a skateboarder, or a surfer. I got my first skateboard when I was five and skated off and on over the years, did a little BMX racing as a kid, and then in my freshman or sophomore year I started getting a little bit more into skateboarding.

I wanted to be looked at for the skateboarder that I was. I didn't want to be the 36-year-old skateboarder who's still holding on while owning a company at the same time. I wanted to make my mark and travel and accomplish a few things here and there and then get out.

I think kids like chaos, in an interesting way. I think kids like to push buttons in adults. They like to antagonize and cause trouble. I think it's the kid-like spirit that kids respond to.

Being a dad, I certainly know what it feels like to give lots of love and understanding, and I also know what it feels like to be antagonized or to have my buttons pushed, at midnight when one of my kids just will not go to sleep. You've gotta just let them be what they are, ultimately.

I always set out to just work, as an actor, and try to do as many different things as I possibly could, and not be too selective or too careful. I think just working is fun.

Pilots get made, and they don't go to series. Stuff gets written and never gets made. I've tried to develop stuff that never went. It comes and it goes. It's a part of the process.

I really liked Tom & Jerry. That was huge for me. I watched it every morning, before I walked to school. Even as a kid, I thought there was something really smart about it. I thought it was very clever.

I can do movies maybe that have already been written, but I can't do anything for months at a time.

I grew up skateboarding; it was fun. I didn't think about money, I didn't know how much professional skateboarders made. I just knew that if I became a professional skateboarder, I would achieve a lot and get to travel and do these great things.

If he were just able to cross everything off, he'd start to get a little cocky, I'm sure. He'd start to rush it and maybe get a little too overly confident. He still gets tossed around in the process. That's sort of to me an indication that he still has a long way to go.

The case is in the preliminary stages and under investigation.

A movie doesn't open the opening weekend and then get burned -- they don't destroy it. It lasts. So what about Raging Bull ? Do you know how much that made opening weekend? No.

And even within cities you have different dynamics in each asset class.

The Los Angeles County district attorney's office has been made aware of the investigation.
