We do many things at the federal level that would be considered dishonest and illegal if done in the private sector.

It's an ear job, not an eye job.

Some of us are like a shovel brigade that follow a parade down Main Street cleaning up.

You've got to give loyalty down, if you want loyalty up.

I read all these stories that I don't know anything about politics. But I must know something. I've had some good victories in Congress, and I've survived this town for four years.

At dinner parties I sit below the salt now. There are a lot of interesting people there.

By no means was it really teed up for him.

The art of politics consists in knowing precisely when it is necessary to hit an opponent slightly below the belt.

I am healthy in all aspects of my being.

Our life is half natural and half technological. Half-and-half is good. You cannot deny that high-tech is progress. We need it for jobs. Yet if you make only high-tech, you make war. So we must have a strong human element to keep modesty and natural life.

Women are more difficult to handle than men. It's their minds.

I just want to go out there and have the best matches I possibly can.

I walk to work, so boots are a staple for me.

I majored in directing. However, I did spend some time at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem, so I am somewhat well-versed in African Studies.

All over the world when you test men and women for facial cue recognition, women test... better. It's a negotiation tool.

Tennis just a game, family is forever.

We must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor. We need to include the excluded and preach peace.

I think as an investigative reporter I had tough standards, but I don't think of myself as a tough person.

Stand a little less between me and the sun.

The only shame is to have none.

I love Portland. I think it's one of the best cities - I obviously haven't been to very many places, but I had one of the best times I've had on a set there.

Compassion has no place in the natural order of the world which operates on the basis of necessity. Compassion opposes this order and is therefore best thought of as being in some way supernatural.

I don't know if I have a voice of my own. I don't see me being an important person with something to say. I haven't. I've got nothing to say. My opinion is of no consequence or value.

On Shabbat something happens to the world - the world becomes infinite again.

Freedom is not empowerment. Empowerment is what the Serbs have in Bosnia. Anybody can grab a gun and be empowered.

There is a movie called 'My Dog Skip,' starring my 'Outsiders' costar Diane Lane. I do not recommend it. If you have a child, particularly one about to leave home, watching this film is to be emotionally waterboarded.

The audience for 'Lootera' is far less than for my other kind of films. Just because I pulled it off doesn't mean I will change my tastes. I love to watch masala films, and I love to sing, dance and say those larger-than-life dialogues. But whenever I get a chance, and I really feel the connect, I will do a performance-oriented film.

I don't know about other writers, but for myself, to write I must be relatively quiet - it's very difficult to write with the telephone and the doorbell ringing and conversation going on; I'm not that good a writer to write through all that!

My boyhood life in New York City has impressed me with the popular ignorance and also with the great need of something better than local lore and weather proverbs.
