We have the power to be anyone we want to be... But we have the responsibility to make sure that our power is not blinded by our pride.

Another day is another chance to be a better version of ourselves. If we hope to meet people with amazing characters and souls, what better way to begin than to show them the best example.

Kindness and humility shows the depth in our character.

There are no words that can bring you down unless you allow them to.

We often look at others and envy the person they have become. Have you ever wondered how many people are feeling the same way about you? That puts things into perspective.

Courage is gained when we explore our deepest feelings, face our fears and trust our inner strength.

Only 38 per cent of players in the Premier League are English; that is a damning statistic. Soon, the England manager will have to go scouting for players in the Championship - and when I say 'soon' I mean the next four or five years, perhaps even for the next World Cup.

John Williams is, without question, talented. He writes very good scores and very good melodies and all that.

An emotion is an automatic response an automatic effect of mans value premises. An effect not a cause. There is no necessary clash no dichotomy between mans reason and his emotions

Giraffes are fairytale animals, almost heraldic - as if from the land of fables. They have extremely beautiful faces, huge eyes, very sensitive nostrils and oh, blue tongues!

'Life of Pi' was actually a very simple novel to write.

You can't save the world with music. But I can try. I have the same job as Bruce Springsteen. I have to go as far as I can with it.

What can happen if a young reader picks up a book he/she isn't yet ready for? Questions, maybe. Usually, that child puts down the book and says, 'Boring.' Or, 'I'm not ready for this.' Kids are really good at knowing what they can handle.

The dangers which threaten us are twofold: First, from the Confederate forces, composed of men whose earnest convictions and reckless bravery it is idle to deny.

I'm not suggesting our music is the only music, but I am suggesting that there are certain elements in America's culture that are so precious that it would be a shame for them to go down the drain.

At the beginning of 'Will and Grace', I played Jack as the funny next-door-neighbor type, as we've seen in the past. And I thought that was my role.

Doing a documentary is about discovering, being open, learning, and following curiosity.

I try to always step up to the plate, be professional, be good at what I'm doing and deliver on the character. In Hollywood, what more can you ask for. You want a consummate professional.

Got an issue, get a tissue.

If you put yourself in a position where you have to stretch outside your comfort zone, then you are forced to expand your consciousness.

I guess I would just say that in general, one of my weaknesses is that I love everything. There's too much of everything to keep up with it all. I get bored with Silicon Valley technology a lot.
