Some evils are cured by contempt.
I am partisan to some extent on the Democratic side, but I consider myself more of an independent.
Mini-Me was the pint sized clone that was the perpetuation of Dr. Evil's own legacy [in Austin Powers]. That concept earned the sequel.
When we had ideas that earned there way in [Austin Powers], it began to get okay. The hook for me was 'Mini-Me. ' We only auditioned one guy - Verne Troyer - and at the time I said, 'we have to get this guy, get him life insurance, whatever he needs' because there was no other way or actor to do it. It was amazing to me just to talk to him. . . he was Mini-Me.
I love Dr. Evil [from Austin Powers] as a walking, talking, narcissistic manifestation of everything screwed up about human existence - his desire to take over the world, and have the world reflect his own power lust.
When we did the first sequel [of the Austin Powers] , it was on coattails of the first one doing so well when it was released on video, so we really didn't know what to do with the second plot.
To this day, people ask me where is Austin Powers 4? I don't have that answer, it so hard to come up with a story that deserves an encore like that.
Ke$ha is super talented and super fun and always down to party - I love that girl.
You gonna do somethin'? or are you just gonna stand there and bleed?
Whatever I will become will be what God has chosen for me.
The product of mental labor - science - always stands far below its value, because the labor-time necessary to reproduce it has no relation at all to the labor-time required for its original production.
