Why should Ireland be treated as a geographical fragment of England - Ireland is not a geographical fragment, but a nation.

No man shall have the right to fix the boundary to the march of a Nation.

Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it.

I would be concerned if one of my children were constantly watching nothing but horror films or indulging in gothic literature without the balance of other types of art and entertainment. I do think that's a danger.

There are eight different breeds of peacock. I have them all.

I don't favour ethics classes being an alternative to special religious education classes.

As a director, I've wanted to have adventure in my life, creative adventure. I think it's partly because I grew up, basically from age six to 26, mostly on television series where the producers find something that works and then do it over and over and over again.

Before I start directing a show, I try to spend a few weeks hanging around the set, getting to know the crew and talking to the actors about how they like to work. Who is fussy? Who is left-handed? Who wants to go home early, and who is the perfectionist?

I don't follow the food trends.

The way films establish the order of scenes is very artificial.

The problem for Rome, then, is how and when the intervention should be done with a sense of the possibility of going too far in limiting the freedom of theologians. This is not an easy time - neither for Rome nor for the theologians.

What separates us from other camera companies is that the vision guy is the decision maker. That was one of my biggest advantages at Oakley, and it's the same at Red - I'm in the trenches, in the product development, and I make the final call.

A Hank Cochran song in the studio is spiritual. It's like singing a hymn in a church.

My life motto is Do my best so that I cant blame myself for anything.

There's nothing worse than having a very strong female character and then suddenly having it go away.
