As you get older, you don't really have any excuse to be stupid anymore, to be in the dark.

When I was growing up, Green Day had just come out.

You don't even have to leave your house: you do your work from your house; you can order anything you want from your house; you don't have to leave your chair. Everything's been designed so that you never leave your computer chair.

Green Day was more of the influence than Blink.

The past 6 and a half years have been the most amazing years of my life. It's sad it has come to an end but Avril and I are still family and moving forward in the most positive way possible.

America's moved so much of its production and manufacturing offshore, it's become a nation of middlemen.

The subject matter is very tricky. It's about the Munich massacre and what Mossad did afterwards with the assassination squads. I think it's a turning point in history, especially for the Palestinians.

I am proud of myself.

I believe very strongly - and I never brought this up as a player - but I put up, I feel, Hall of Fame numbers with diabetes. If I didn't have diabetes - nobody realizes that, when I was diagnosed at 18, even the doctors didn't know what to do about diabetes.

Cigarettes are not a part of human behaviour, they are a habit.

If I could always read, I should never feel the want of company.

As children, we looked up to our maids and our nannies, who were playing in some ways the role of our mothers. They were paid to be nice to us, to look after us, teach us things and take time out of their day to be with us. As a child you think of these people as an extension of your mother.

I wrote my first song when I was six or seven, a silly little song. But I used to write poems in high school - not songs.

The reader of European history who goes searching for Gypsies will find them only in footnotes.

Nothing can doom man but the belief in doom, for this prevents the movement of return.

My parents are both pastors. In the '80s and '90s in the mainstream Christian world, it was not really common for a woman - especially a married woman and a mother - to be a pastor.

I recently read an article on how I was dropped from a film because I couldn't dance! It was so ridiculous that I decided to shut up about it. Let people say what they want to. It's such a waste of time.

We have nothing to fear but missing our massage appointment time.

In the Valley, what's happened is you have entrepreneurs that just want to fill a hole in the market and have a rich exit.

Adapting to our Second Adulthood is not all about the money. It requires thinking about how to find a new locus of identity or how to adjust to a spouse who stops working and who may loll, enjoying coffee and reading the paper online while you're still commuting.

Heroes to me are guys that sit in libraries. They absorb knowledge and then the risks they take are calculated on the basis of the courage it took to become replete with knowledge.

There is immense power when a group of people with similar interests gets together to work toward the same goals.

Food from Quebec is not known to be amazing. Actually, even though you can eat really, really well in Montreal, it's crazy. It's one of the best cities I eat in, but typical Quebec food is like food from people that work in the woods. It's potatoes, meat and sauce.

Freedom has cost too much blood and agony to be relinquished at the cheap price of rhetoric.

I live every day, day to day. I will go wherever life takes me. I'm not questioning it.

A lot of guys I know loved 'Sex and the City.' They'll take it to their grave, but they watched every episode of it.

Why not just eliminate the federal income tax?

For the most part, I think of PC as meaning Plain Civil. You treat people the way you'd like to be treated yourself, and that means not using language that is demeaning.

What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.
