I like being around people.

Philanthropy should be taking much bigger risks that business. If these are easy problems, business and government can come in and solve them.

If there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s gathering people together to do something fun.

People are generally proud of their food. A willingness to eat and drink with people without fear and prejudice… they open up to you in ways that somebody visiting who is driven by a story may not get.

Trying to meet new women, it’s always a little more difficult as opposed to calling somebody I knew that’s single and trying to rebuild that connection.

I don’t know how to work a room. It’s a real skill.

There are times when I feel like I’m a traveling minister. I’m trying to go out and get kids to pick-up yard sale instruments and change the world.

There is just no comparison between having a dinner date with a man and staying home playing canasta with the girls.

It is true that going out on to the street implies the risk of accidents happening, as they would to any ordinary man or woman. But if the church stays wrapped up in itself, it will age. And if I had to choose between a wounded church that goes out on to the streets and a sick, withdrawn church, I would definitely choose the first one.

My friends and I had fun together, but I was more reserved, not at all the life of the party. I would just be the quiet one in the room.

House guests should be regarded as perishables: Leave them out too long and they go bad.

Just as I wanted to outdo everyone when I played, I had to outdo everyone when we were out on the town.

I’ve been fighting with Acorn, alongside Acorn, on issues you care about, my entire career.

A prohibitionist is the sort of man one couldn’t care to drink with, even if he drank.

There is no private house in which people can enjoy themselves so well as at a capital tavern… No, Sir; there is nothing which has yet been contrived by man by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern or inn.

I’m not a nerd, obviously. Do I look like one? I’m not someone who sits at home and doesn’t like to go out, doesn’t like to watch movies. I like to live my life.

There is nothing which has yet been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern.

I am a great friend of public amusements, they keep people from vice.

I like to reminisce with people I don’t know.

It is far better to be alone, than to be in bad company.

In terms of my involvement in ‚don’t ask, don’t tell‘ and marriage equality and anti-bullying and social emotional learning in schools – these are all things that arise out of my relationship with the world and with my fans.

I live half the year on Necker, a tiny island in the Caribbean, and it’s always full of people in party mode. Everyone comes up to the big house, and we’ll be dancing until the early hours to the island’s band, the Front Line.

I’ve missed out on a lot of things, going out with friends.

I like sitting and writing with my buddies.

Let me smile with the wise, and feed with the rich.

I was in enough to get along with people. I was never socially inarticulate. Not a loner. And that saved my life, saved my sanity. That and the writing. But to this day I distrust anybody who thought school was a good time. Anybody.

How easy it is to govern when one follows a system of consulting the will of the people and one holds as the only norm all the actions which contribute to the well being of the people.

When you have good friends you’ve been around, every time they talk, you don’t give them your full attention. You don’t look them in the eye and stop. Half the time, you’re listening, half the time, you are ignoring them.

It’s in my blood to be around people while I was training.

Our goal is to make it so there’s as little friction as possible to having a social experience.

Democracy is a daring concept – a hope that we’ll be best governed if all of us participate in the act of government. It is meant to be a conversation, a place where the intelligence and local knowledge of the electorate sums together to arrive at actions that reflect the participation of the largest possible number of people.

Friendship increases in visiting friends, but in visiting them seldom.

I had a great time being a salesman because of the pitches that I gave when I was selling shoes. However, I don’t think I’m as well versed in shoes as I am in comedy. Being a salesman was all about being a people person, and I enjoy being around people. I also love talking to people – which is why I think I did so well.

I don’t think there is a single social issue I haven’t spoken on.

It’s just hard to meet new people, in my position.

If I had to describe myself to an alien I’d say I was bigger than the average human, enjoy a drink or two with a good meal and have a bigger head than most. I’d also say I’m really handsome – especially if they were a female alien.

I look upon every day to be lost, in which I do not make a new acquaintance.

So, do you live around here often?

People want to go out and travel around and meet cool people. I could just go live in Vermont, but is that what I really want?

An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.

I like to get in among a set of people and get to know them very well.

I have an urge to communicate. I think I’m a change from what it would be like dating a normal guy who doesn’t talk too much.

There is no such thing as a pure introvert or extrovert. Such a person would be in the lunatic asylum.

Dinner was made for eating, not for talking.

That’s why I hate to get started in these jam sessions. I’m always the last one to leave.

Of course, it does depend on the people, but sometimes I’m invited places to kind of brighten up a dinner table like a musician who’ll play the piano after dinner, and I know you’re not really invited for yourself. You’re just an ornament.

One does not leave a convivial party before closing time.

I’m pretty laid-back in real life. I just love hanging with my friends and making jokes. The jokes don’t stop – literally, all day.

If I ever go to West Africa, it would probably be for a free concert. I would want to do something for the people there. Maybe we can make a whole event, the way Bob Marley would have done it. Just for the people. And if they climb over the gate, let them climb over the gate.

For a while… to be an evangelical meant you were a white Republican, and you were against this and against that. I don’t want to be put into that mold, because then people judge you before they even listen… I don’t want to divide the very people I am trying to reach.

What can I say? I’m a talker.

I really miss being able to blend in with people.

I’m not someone who sits at home and doesn’t like to go out, doesn’t like to watch movies. I like to live my life.

Sometimes too much to drink is barely enough.

You don’t even really need a place. But you feel like you’re doing something. That is what coffee is. And that is one of the geniuses of the new coffee culture.

What I like to drink most is wine that belongs to others.

My family is very good about visiting me, and other friends as well.

I love to pop up at the movie theaters. I love to treat the people who are there.

I do things I love doing. Sometimes that is maybe going out to have a drink with friends, going out partying or whatever.

Fan Luv is a powerful positive movement. All over the world they come. It’s a force of luv.

I like learning more about people; I like to talk to people.
