I can make more generals but horses cost money.

Why be a man when you can be a success?

Making a movie requires 20 to 500 people to make and a lot of money and the stakes are a lot higher.

The United Nations remains our most important global actor. These days we are continuously reminded of the enormous responsibility of the Security Council to uphold international peace and stability.

In a case like Iraq the UN has again shown what important role it plays as the guarantor for protecting international peace and stability in the global political structure.

One of the gaps in our international development efforts is the provision of global public goods – that is goods or conditions we need that no individual or country can secure on their own such as halting global warming financial stability and peace and security.

The conflict in the Middle East needs to be solved for the same reasons. It is necessary to reach a two-states solution built on international law for sustainable peace and development and it can only be achieved through joint efforts by the international community.

We need new partnerships for peace and security.

We need new partnerships in fighting terrorism and building peace.

Set up another case bartender! The best thing for a case of nerves is a case of Scotch.

The best cure for insomnia is to get a lot of sleep.

War as Napoleon knew it just not possible any more. However we’re very unlikely to accept or recognize ‘world peace’ even when we get it.

When I look back on my childhood I think of that short time in Beirut. I know that seeing the city collapse around me forced me to grasp something many people miss: the fragility of peace.

Remember I come from such an excessively overdone red-carpet place called Hollywood. So I’m used to people blowing up their success in ways that are far above and beyond the truth.

Well success does not mean doing well.

I need drama in my life to keep making music.

If there’s not drama and negativity in my life all my songs will be really wack and boring or something.

The truth is you don’t know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride and nothing is guaranteed.

It’s both rebellion and conformity that attack you with success.

How absurd and delicious it is to be in love with somebody younger than yourself. Everybody should try it.

What I want to give in the theatre is beauty that’s what I want to give.

These things bring you to reality as to how fragile you are at the same moment you are doing something that nobody else is able to do. The same moment that you are seen as the best the fastest and somebody that cannot be touched you are enormously fragile.

We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong we may begin to use it with love and respect.

Life is lived on the edge.

So if you stay ready you ain’t gotta get ready and that is how I run my life.

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.
