I don’t like to watch my own movies – I fall asleep in my own movies.

I’ll work with a director if I think I’m going to get into a comfortable situation and if it’s someone I respect and who respects me even if they’re not so well known. Movies are hard to make and you have to work toward a common ethic and do your best.

Movies are hard work. The public doesn’t see that. The critics don’t see it. But they’re a lot of work. A lot of work.

Grandeur and beauty are so very opposite that you often diminish the one as you increase the other. Variety is most akin to the latter simplicity to the former.

I’ve spent lots of time in London I studied in London I like London. It’s just not my home.

My first holiday to San Francisco in 1998-99 was supposed to be a two-week vacation but I ended up staying five weeks and nearly didn’t come home.

But when the work was finished the Craftsman kept wishing that there were someone to ponder the plan of so great a work to love its beauty and to wonder at its vastness.

If you want to become a great chef you have to work with great chefs. And that’s exactly what I did.

A kid in an abusive home has far fewer rights than any POW. There is no Geneva Convention for kids.

Don’t confuse fame with success. Madonna is one Helen Keller is the other.

Dalton’s records carefully preserved for a century were destroyed during the World War II bombing of Manchester. It is not only the living who are killed in war.

It is not only the living who are killed in war.

John Dalton’s records carefully preserved for a century were destroyed during the World War II bombing of Manchester. It is not only the living who are killed in war.

I feel an obligation to set the record straight. Actors that say they’re affected by something that it changes their life that they take it home with them they’re just trying to get nominated for an Oscar!

You need to be silly to be funny.

Humility is the only true wisdom by which we prepare our minds for all the possible changes of life.

From our perspective trying to deal with this continuing campaign of terror if you will the war on terror that we’re engaged in this is a continuing enterprise. The people that were involved in some of those activities before 9/11 are still out there.

I think the record speaks for itself. These are two individuals who have been for the war when the headlines were good and against it when their poll ratings were bad.

It’s very important to go back and keep in mind the distinction between handling these events as criminal acts which was the way we did before 9/11 and then looking at 9/11 and saying ‘This is not a criminal act’ not when you destroy 16 acres of Manhattan kill 3,000 Americans blow a big hole in the Pentagon. That’s an act of war.

The most valuable possession you can own is an open heart. The most powerful weapon you can be is an instrument of peace.

Beauty is but a flower which wrinkles will devour.

From the moment this baby came into our home those two dogs have never been more in love. It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever witnessed. People keep saying ‘Oh you’re a single mom.’ I’m like ‘Actually I’m not. I’ve got two boys helping.’

I wish to assure you that there can never be any return to the state of armed conflict which existed before our commitment to peace and the democratic process of election under the Lancaster House agreement.

I wish the government and the Minister of Justice would address these legal and constitutional arguments but they refuse to. They want Canadians to go blindly into their brave new world but it is not wise for a society to move blindly in any direction.

I wish that there were more stringent laws to make guns sold anywhere that they’re legal harder to get.

I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.

I wish people would turn off their computers go outside talk to people touch people lick people enjoy each other’s company and smell each other on the rump.

I wish I had coined the phrase ‘tyranny of choice’ but someone beat me to it. The counterintuitive truth is that have an abundance of options does not make you feel privileged and indulged too many options make you feel like all of them are wrong and that you are wrong if you choose any of them.

I wish I could just go tell all the young women I work with all these fabulous women ‘Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success.’ I wish I could tell that to my daughter. But it’s not that simple.

I wish I could give you a lot of advice based on my experience of winning political debates. But I don’t have that experience. My only experience is at losing them.

I wish I could be as thin as Jessica Simpson. I think she looks gorgeous! I have had Jessica on my show several times and I can tell you that girl is genuine and funny with a great self-deprecating sense of humor.

I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

I will not play tug o’ war. I’d rather play hug o’ war. Where everyone hugs instead of tugs Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug Where everyone kisses and everyone grins and everyone cuddles and everyone wins.

I will not attempt to deny the reasonableness and necessity of a party war but in carrying on that war all principles and rules of justice should not be departed from.

I will not attack your doctrines nor your creeds if they accord liberty to me. If they hold thought to be dangerous – if they aver that doubt is a crime then I attack them one and all because they enslave the minds of men.

I will continue to work as hard as I can to make this organization proud. Every time I step on the field I will give everything I have and I will leave everything I have on the field every single Sunday.

I went to the bank and asked to borrow a cup of money. They said ‘What for?’ I said ‘I’m going to buy some sugar.’

I went to college at the University of Kansas where I got a degree in political science.

I went to America and got into a band had success had hits in Australia.

I went to a football school which meant that I went to a university that served up education and was simultaneously operating a sports franchise.

I went to a fight the other night and a hockey game broke out.

I wear black skinny-fit jeans – I can’t get away from them. It’s funny because I wore baggy jeans for ages then one day my friend convinced me to try on a skinny pair and I thought they were great.
