      Biography:

      In this edition, I thought it would be appropriate to include a biography. I have always loved quotations and have tried to live by them. This, of course, includes The Bible as well. We live in a world where so many bad things happen, I would prefer to uplift people rather than tear them down Anyway, I am a veteran of the accounting and computer professions. My father told me to enter it many years ago and you will never be out of work. He was right! He also said, the U.S. economy is rapidly becoming a service economy where products will be made somewhere else. This was a man with a 6th grade education who worked for United States Steel Corporation for 42 years. He was an auto mechanic, plumber and carpenter. He could handle just about anything mechanical. Well, after 30 years in the professions I decided to open my own practice. Sounds easy! Just remember, you have to be willing to work 80 hours a week for yourself so you won’t have to work 40 hours a week for someone else. I have been married for 15 years to Jennifer. We have 2 children, Michael and Gracie. Michael is a computer technician and Gracie is a dentist assistant. All proceeds from the sale of this book will go to help the poor. This will help people get back on their feet again. More to Follow.

      Enjoy and God Bless.

      Al Pacino

      I'll make him an offer he can't refuse. - Al Pacino, playing Michael Corleone in The Godfather

      I don't want to kill everyone…Just my enemies. - Al Pacino, playing Michael Corleone in The Godfather

      I'm an actor, not a star. Stars are people who live in Hollywood and have heart-shaped swimming pools. - Al Pacino

      It's not personal, Sonny. It's strictly business. - Al Pacino, playing Michael Corleone in The Godfather

      My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a President or a senator. - Al Pacino, playing Michael Corleone in The Godfather, referring to his mafia boss father Don Vito Corleone

      My first language was shy. It's only by having been thrust into the limelight that I have learned to cope with my shyness. A make way for the bad guy., Al Pacino, playing Tony Montana in Scarface

      No one ever asked me to play Hamlet. I don't think I'm right for the part, but it would have been nice to be asked. - Al Pacino

      The actor becomes an emotional athlete. The process is painful--my personal life suffers. - Al Pacino

      You wanna fuck with me? Okay. You wannna play rough? Okay. Say hello to my little friend. - Al Pacino, playing Tony Montana in Scarface

      Alan Alda

      After a while I started to think of that as an image of something that went a lot deeper than the dead dog, which is you can't bring back anything to life. – Alan Alda

      Almost everybody that's well-known gets tagged with a nickname. - Alan Alda

      Be as smart as you can, but remember that it is always better to be wise than to be smart. - Alan Alda

      Be brave enough to live life creatively. The creative place where no one else has ever been. - Alan Alda

      Be fair with others, but then keep after them until they're fair with you. - Alan Alda

      Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in. - Alan Alda

      Here's my Golden Rule for a tarnished age: Be fair with others, but keep after them until they're fair with you. - Alan Alda

      I found I wasn't asking good enough questions because I assumed I knew something. I would box them into a corner with a badly formed question, and they didn't know how to get out of it. Now, I let them take me through it step by step, and I listen. - Alan Alda

      I wouldn't live in California. All that sun makes you sterile. - Alan Alda

      I'm an angry person, angrier than most people would imagine, I get flashes of anger. What works for me is working out when it's useful to use that anger. - Alan Alda

      I'm in the real world, some people try to steal from me, and I stop them, frequently, take them to court. I love a good lawsuit. It's fun. - Alan Alda

      I'm most at home on the stage. I was carried onstage for the first time when I was six months old. - Alan Alda

      I've been nominated twice before as actor in a leading part. Now I'm nominated as actor in a supporting part. If I don't win, I'll just wait until I'm nominated for being in the theater during the show. Do they have one like that? - Alan Alda

      I've never tried to manipulate my image. - Alan Alda

      If I can't get the girl, at least give me more money. - Alan Alda

      It isn't necessary to be rich and famous to be happy. It's only necessary to be rich. - Alan Alda

      It makes it fun. When an actor plays a character, you want what that character wants. Otherwise it doesn't look authentic. So I really want to defeat Jimmy - I mean Jimmy as the character. - Alan AldaI

      t's not an epitaph. I felt I could look back at my life and get a good story out of it. It's a picture of somebody trying to figure things out. I'm not trying to create some impression about myself. That doesn't interest me. - Alan Alda

      It's really clear to me that you can't hang onto something longer than its time. Ideas lose certain freshness, ideas have a shelf life, and sometimes they have to be replaced by other ideas. - Alan Alda

      t's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that. - Alan Alda

      Laugh at yourself, but don't ever aim your doubt at yourself. Be bold. When you embark for strange places, don't leave any of yourself safely on shore. Have the nerve to go into unexplored territory. - Alan Alda

      My mother didn't try to stab my father until I was six, but she must have shown signs of oddness before that. - Alan Alda

      Never Have Your Dog Stuffed is really advice to myself, a reminder to myself not to avoid change or uncertainty, but to go with it, to surf into change. - Alan Alda

      No man or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, gentle and good, without the world being better for it, without somebody being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness. - Alan Alda

      The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. - Alan Alda

      When does she do all this thinking? We're together all the time but she thinks deeply about things and with feeling and she can remember the facts. We've been married 48 years. - Alan Alda

      When people are laughing, they're generally not killing one another. - Alan Alda

      You can't get there by bus, only by hard work and risk and by not quite knowing what you're doing. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover will be yourself. - Alan Alda

      You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself. - Alan Alda

      You wouldn't want to be called a sell-out by selling a product. Selling out was frowned on, whereas now you can major in it at business school. – Alan Alda

      Alec Baldwin

      Bush wasn't elected, he was selected - selected by five judges up in Washington who voted along party lines. - Alec Baldwin

      Cheney is a terrorist. He terrorizes our enemies abroad and innocent citizens here at home indiscriminately. - Alec Baldwin

      Doing these parts is not fun. It's challenging, but no fun. It's creepy. I would rather play the guy that throws the touchdown pass and gets carried off the field. - Alec Baldwin

      Everything that Bush touches turns to manure in public policy. - Alec Baldwin

      I feel I'm two people: I have my interest in acting and I have a lot of other political interests I'd like to pursue. - Alec Baldwin

      I think my exact comment was that if Bush won it would be a good time to leave the United States. I'm not necessarily going to leave the United States. - Alec Baldwin

      I wanted to be president of the United States. I really did. The older I get, the less preposterous the idea seems. - Alec Baldwin

      Let's face facts, this is visual medium, there's a very high premium put on people who are good-looking. But the minute you rely on that you get yourself in trouble. You certainly don't make a career out of that anymore as an actor. - Alec Baldwin

      Remember, sex is like a Chinese dinner. It ain't over 'til you both get your cookie. - Alec Baldwin

      There are people who would rather choke than go see my movies. They write me letters all the time. - Alec Baldwin

      There's less critical thinking going on in this country on a Main Street level - forget about the media - than ever before. We've never needed people to think more critically than now, and they've taken a big nap - Alec Baldwin

      To be in this business and have tremendous integrity and only make distinguished choices is very tough. - Alec Baldwin

      You have actors who begin at a certain young age and there's very little change in their technique and the depth of their performances; they're the same 30 years later. - Alec Baldwin

      Ben Affleck

      All I do, really, is go to work and try to be professional, be on time and be prepared. – Ben Affleck

      Everyone's entitled to express their political beliefs. I don't presume to tell anybody who to vote for. I am comfortable telling people what my opinions are. - Ben Affleck

      God help me if I ever do another movie with an explosion in it. If you see me in a movie where stuff is exploding you'll know I've lost all my money. - Ben Affleck

      I feel like fame is wasted on me. - Ben Affleck

      I hate the whole reluctant sex-symbol thing. It's such bull. You see these dudes greased up, in their underwear, talking about how they don't want to be a sex symbol. - Ben Affleck

      I just feel like sometimes I'm a force to be dealt with. My talents are sometimes overused and also sometimes underused. It's not easy being me. - Ben Affleck

      I kinda see my current position like this: Here's your five minutes in the toy store, so you gotta do all the good movies you can before 'Chuck Woolery' rings the bell. - Ben Affleck

      I like to think that if I were gay I would be out. Rupert Everett-style. - Ben Affleck

      I remember back when I was a kid there was a comic strip called Plastic Man. His body was elastic and he could make his extremities as long as he wanted. As a youngster I didn't fully appreciate. But I'm now thinking Plastic Man was probably pretty popular with the ladies. - Ben Affleck

      I'm always described as 'cocksure' or 'with a swagger,' and that bears no resemblance to who I feel like inside. I feel plagued by insecurity. - Ben Affleck

      I'm much more interested in what an actor has to say about something substantial and important than who they're dating or what clothes they're wearing or some other asinine, insignificant aspect of their life. - Ben Affleck

      I'm not the type of guy who enjoys one-night stands. It leaves me feeling very empty and cynical. It's not even fun sexually. I need to feel something for the woman and entertain the vain hope that it may lead to a relationship. - Ben Affleck

      I've finally learnt how to say, No comment. To appear in the tabloids is a real learning curve and a steep one at that. You had better learn quick or you get burnt. - Ben Affleck

      If I ever woke up with a dead hooker
