Pastoral Resources

Particular individuals who might never consider dropping out if they were in a different high school might decide to drop out if they attended a school where many boys and girls did so.

In every school, more boys wanted to be remembered as a star athlete than as a brilliant student.

When poverty shows itself, even mischievous boys understand what it means.

When I first started editing GQ, it gave the impression of being, and in fact was, a gay magazine. There were female models in it and there were women on the cover, but the boys were always much, much more beautiful than the girls.

The boys are in such a mood that if someone introduced the Ten Commandments, they'd cut them down to seven.

Oh, yes. I knew I was weird by the time I was four. I knew I wasn't like other boys. I knew I was more fearful. I didn't like the rough and tumble most boys were into. I knew I was a sissy.

When I worked on Altar Boys, they wanted to see us having fun. The four of us would have fun on set and steal each other's lines, and mess with the director.

I've got high standards when it comes to boys. As my dad says, all girls should! I'm from the South - Tennessee, to be exact - and down there, we're all about southern hospitality. I know that if I like a guy, he better be nice, and above all, my dad has to approve of him!

When I walked to school in the mornings I would start out alone but would pick up four other boys along the way. We would set out together after school across the village green.

All through my school life I was appalled by the fact that masters and senior boys were allowed quite literally to wound other boys, and sometimes very severely.

I get a little jealous of these actor boys. They walk into a club, and in two seconds flat there are swarms of girls who are wanting so badly to touch them or just say hello. That's not the case with me, or any other girl I know.

I was never very interested in boys - and there were plenty of them - vying with one another to see how many famous women they would get into the hay.

It's really important for boys to see that girls take up half of the planet - which we do.

I met the Colonel when Elvis was recording some song I'd written for one of his movies. Elvis was just having fun with the gang and all the Memphis boys and Colonel Parker was sitting over here in like a theater seat.

I brought samples in, because I didn't have any comic book samples, and I brought all these illustrations that I had influenced by Norman Rockwell and a couple of the other big boys. That's all I had, that's all I brought.

I don't know who's worse with little boys, Mario or Michael Jackson.

I want my boys to have an understanding of people's emotions, their insecurities, people's distress, and their hopes and dreams.

I love physical kinds of comedy and getting down and dirty and doing stunts. When I was growing up, I was always getting into fights with guys and usually punching out boys my age because I was a lot bigger and tougher. So I'm naturally accustomed to putting myself into the headspace of a girl who can take care of herself.

I grew up with a lot of boys. I probably have a lot of testosterone for a woman.

OK, boys; let's go make a withdrawal.
