I was always confident that I knew. I never expected this.

We can't make any statements here. We can't talk about the internal politics of Paraguay.

I was always confident that I knew. I never expected this.

I have to think of my status as a resident in this country. But I do insist that in Paraguay there was order; the judiciary had the power of complete independence; justice was fully exercised.

There was no reason for a revolution in Paraguay.

I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

Some people like just sitting down and being taken for a ride. That's a beautiful thing that fiction can do. But it's not the only thing. In television and film, people are ready to accept any kind of jump cut, but the slightest disturbance on the page ruffles their feathers.

I don't understand people who like to work and talk about it like it was some sort of goddamn duty. Doing nothing feels like floating on warm water to me. Delightful, perfect.

When I am on court, I am so focused on what I am doing, that's all I think about - trying to win the next point.

Even with, or perhaps, because of, this background, I have over the past few years sensed a very dramatic change in attitude on the part of Prince Edward Islanders towards the on-going rush for so-called modernization.

The touring comic is a lonely soul, sometimes dabbling into conversation with a colleague in the green room, but on the whole, we just stand around and try to cope with the random diversity that comes with the 'job.'

Nature's music is never over; her silences are pauses, not conclusions.

I think there are ghosts. I haven't seen or heard anything. I've definitely felt something, but it's not scary.

I like what I do, and a lot of these projects have really interesting material and interesting people to work with. I feel lucky.

I take the world very personally. I take history personally; I want to place myself in the larger context.

I think that I'm serious, but I don't think that I'm inordinately bleak.

The biggest challenge for open source is that as it enters the consumer market, as projects like WordPress and Firefox have done, you have to create a user experience that is on par or better than the proprietary alternatives.

The overall view of the human genome project has been one of great excitement and positive press, but there are people who have concerns that are quite reasonable, and they are frightened of things they don't understand.

Regional exchange can be a source of growth and development and of enhancing good governance.

I thought that the fashion world could be a bit fake sometimes, but it's nothing compared to Hollywood. These girls would walk over their grandmothers' graves to get a part, and the producers talk about actresses like they're dirt, picking over every part of them so that they end up paranoid and having surgery.

I love eating shabu-shabu in Japan - a kind of beef hotpot. But if you're talking about authentic, traditional food, then Italian cooking is one of the best in the world.

Becoming a dad was the proudest moment of my life. Playing football does not even compare.

It takes both courage and talent to stand up in front of fellow human beings and make them crack a smile, and at the same time keep it clean.

I don't know if there's an actors' slow-pitch softball league I could join. My agency has a team, but they say it would be a conflict of interest for the people they rep to play because I could hit a pop-up and they'd have to drop it on purpose.

I do basically what a conductor does with a baton, except I also play along with the orchestra. So I have to juggle the roles of playing the concertmaster; sometimes I drop the violin and wave my arms.

Your true friends echo your own philosophies back at you.

No one ever lost his honor except he who had it not.

A vocabulary of truth and simplicity will be of service throughout your life.

I became a fanatic about healthy food in 1944.
