I would, without any hesitation, shoot a violent criminal again.

The whole trial seemed surreal.

I think vegetarianism is a crucial ethical choice for an individual and a society.

Jail is much easier on people who have nothing.

With my time in the limelight, I regret that I didn't use it more to push vegetarianism. I support vegetarian options in the school lunch program.

Prior to being mugged I did not feel I had to carry a gun. However, I knew how to shoot a gun very proficiently. As a boy, I used to play cowboys and Indians all the time.

You can't let yourself be pushed around. You can't live in fear. That's no way to live your life.

During my jury selection process, we went through over 360 jurors. It took six months, all New York residents. Of the 360 jurors, over half of them had been mugged one time. Quite a number of them, maybe 30 40, 50, had been mugged twice.

I go to Union Square Park, mostly to take care of squirrels.

I have my values. I do things that I think are right. I think it is crucial for mankind to go vegetarian. In fact, I think if the United States and one other major power becomes basically vegetarian, the whole world will become vegetarian, eventually.

I thought I was a pretty good physical specimen. But there was a teenager from Brooklyn, who basically wiped the floor with me on the street. He gave me a punch that I didn't even feel. All I knew I was looking up at the sky. I tried to fight him, and I got a number of injuries after that.

I was a monster. I don't deny it. I wasn't a monster until a few years ago. But you have to be a monster to survive in New York City. New York City doesn't give a damn about violence.

If you like affection, then about one in three squirrels makes an excellent companion.

There is no place more delightful than ones own fireside.

Think and grow rich.

'Original Sin' is, for me, a murder mystery with a huge cast that plays out on a grand stage.

You need mystery. You actually do. I think that's what foreign women, French women in particular, are good at. There's still a sense that you need to keep some of the unknown because that's where the soul resides, or something.

You can believe what you want religiously. Religion is one thing, but science, provable science, is something else.

My cholesterol went from 220 to 149. I was crying like a 'Biggest Loser' contestant when my doctor gave me the news.

Film and theater are about misdirection and making the audience see something. I find it interesting. One of the things we do in 'True Blood' is shoot all of our stunts in camera. Instead of doing some kind of visual effect, we try to make it happen.

Even of if a certain backlash is unavoidable, we must make the most of the momentous chance with which history has presented us so swiftly and so unexpectedly.

Your faith can move mountains and your doubt can create them.

Music videos are notoriously long, not fun, grueling. You are known there as a dancer and it's kind of sad because dancers, in a lot of ways, are under-appreciated and kind of under-respected when it come to that so they don't necessarily treat you in a nice way when you do a music video.

As a young girl, I definitely struggled with knowing what to do with my hair. I was just in a neighborhood that had mostly white people, and the hair norm was long and sleek and straight. My hair naturally was curly, and I didn't have that many references.

More and more software, more and more corporate business is going to be stored and done over the Net, And that's where Oracle could do very well.

The need to challenge the status quo is just more obvious when you're failing than when you're succeeding. But it's no less urgent.

It's impossible to work under conditions where they confused negativity with objectivity. You can't fool the fans.

I've been a political junkie for a long time. I find the way Washington works is just fascinating to me.

Don't flatter yourselves that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. On the contrary, the nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become.

I have a lot of guy-like quintessential relationship qualities that I have had to work on.

ISIL is not your parents' al Qaeda. It's a very different model.
