I was not a member of the SS.

Temporarily in 1934 I became a department head in the German Labor Front and dealt with the improvement of labor conditions in German factories. Then I was in charge of public works on the staff of Hess. I gave up both these activities in 1941.

Cases of sickness made up a very small percentage which in my opinion was normal. However, propaganda pamphlets dropped from aircraft were telling the workers to feign illness, and detailed instructions were given to them on how to do it.

In all my activities as Armament Minister I never once visited a labor camp, and cannot, therefore, give any information about them.

All sensible Army people turned gas warfare down as being utterly insane since, in view of your superiority in the air, it would not be long before it would bring the most terrible catastrophe upon German cities, which were completely unprotected.

All I know is that these two gases both had a quite extraordinary effect, and that there was no respirator, and no protection against them that we knew of. So the soldiers would have been unable to protect themselves against this gas in any way.

I grow dizzy when I recall that the number of manufactured tanks seems to have been more important to me than the vanished victims of racism.

I was not a member of the SS.

It is certain that concentration camps had a bad reputation with us.

No doubt concentration camps were a means, a menace used to keep order.

I would rather not tell you here things which every German has at heart.

When I'm doing music and I'm on the road, I love it. But once I'm home, it's very difficult to go back out on the road.

I think the more you expose yourself as a celebrity, the less interesting you are to watch in your work, because if you're putting yourself out there all the time, you're not holding anything back.

If you're going to write about someone's life, you don't just use them for wallpaper. You have to honor and respect that life.

Doing my own album provided me the opportunity to say whatever I wanted.

We don't apologize for a joke. We are comics. We are here to make you laugh. If you don't get it, then don't watch us.

I don't know how many more times I'll be in New England again. But I leave coach Belichick and those guys with a salute: 'I love you guys. I miss you. I'm out.'

Few things can make us feel crazier than expecting something from someone who has nothing to give.

I have bad reflexes. I was once run over by a car being pushed by two guys.

Wisdom is that apprehension of heavenly things to which the spirit rises through love.

My greatest qualification for writing fiction was my ability to lie with a straight face as a child.

I remember one day sitting at the pool and suddenly the tears were streaming down my cheeks. Why was I so unhappy? I had success. I had security. But it wasn't enough. I was exploding inside.

Engineering training deals with the exact sciences. That sort of exactness makes for truth and conscience. It might be good for the world if more men had that sort of mental start in life even if they did not pursue the profession.

I feel like Im a better person when Im quieter.

Well, you know, in any novel you would hope that the hero has someone to push back against, and villains - I find the most interesting villains those who do the right things for the wrong reasons, or the wrong things for the right reasons. Either one is interesting. I love the gray area between right and wrong.

The Chinese say, 'It's good to live in interesting times.'

No one wants to hear my perspective on politics, but I think honestly as you get older, you get more interested in it.

Never believe anything that requires you to hate people who do not believe it.

The biggest challenge was becoming a leader and taking our team to the highest level. Feeling the personal responsibility to take the team to the next level. Overcoming fear of inadequacy and never getting down on yourself or doubting who you are.

If you do what you always did you will get what you always got.

The raising to life of all animate beings at the resurrection of the dead can be no more difficult for Divine Power than restoring to life a fly in the spring, heavy with the death-stained sleep of winter.

The grim reality is that most start-ups fail. Most new products are not successful. Yet the story of perseverance, creative genius, and hard work persists.

You can't deny RCA's past and its history. I was also on Capitol Records, so I have that past history.

This is my life. I love it.

Stem cell research must be carried out in an ethical manner in a way that respects the sanctity of human life.
