In 1930 I became a member of the Reichstag.

The police officers, so far as discipline, organization, pay, and orders were concerned, came exclusively under the German Reich police system and were in no way connected with the administration of the Government General.

It was also my idea that the advisory committees of the Academy should replace the legal committees of the German Reichstag, which was gradually fading into the background in the Reich.

I never participated in far-reaching political decisions, since I never belonged to the circle of the closest associates of Adolf Hitler, neither was I consulted by Adolf Hitler on general political questions, nor did I ever take part in conferences about such problems.

My first endeavor was to save the core of the German system of justice: the independent judiciary.

My aim was to safeguard justice, without doing harm to our war effort.

It was my dream, and probably the dream of every one of us, to bring about a revision of the Versailles Treaty by peaceful means, which was provided for in that very treaty.

On 24 August 1939, as an officer in the reserve, I had to join my regiment in Potsdam.

In my own sphere I did everything that could possibly be expected of a man who believes in the greatness of his people and who is filled with fanaticism for the greatness of his country, in order to bring about the victory of Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist movement.

First, I was Bavarian State Minister of Justice, and after the ministries of justice in the various states were dissolved I became Reich Minister without portfolio.

The SS, as such, behaved no more criminally than any other social groups would behave when taking part in political events.

A thousand years will pass and the guilt of Germany will not be erased.

War is not a thing one wants.

Ninety percent of the members of the Academy of German Law were not members of the Party.

I dealt with legal questions in the interest of Adolf Hitler and the NSDAP and its members during the difficult years of struggle for the victory of the Movement.

Concentration camps were entirely a matter for the police and had nothing to do with the administration.

In 1930 I became a member of the Reichstag.

I worked as a lawyer; as a member of the teaching staff of a technical college; and then I worked principally as legal adviser to Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers Party.

In the main the Academy helped to frame only laws of an economic or social nature, since owing to the development of the totalitarian regime it became more and more impossible to cooperate in other spheres.

An administration without a police executive is powerless and there were many proofs of this.

I did not destroy the 43 volumes of my diary, which report on all these events and the share I had in them; but of my own accord I handed them voluntarily to the officers of the American Army who arrested me.

If you really do want to be an actor who can satisfy himself and his audience, you need to be vulnerable. You must reach the emotional and intellectual level of ability where you can go out stark naked, emotionally, in front of an audience.

When I'm writing, I'm in an isolation chamber. I'm not one to think about that outside world stuff when I'm writing.

To act wisely when the time for action comes, to wait patiently when it is time for repose, put man in accord with the tides. Ignorance of this law results in periods of unreasoning enthusiasm on the one hand, and depression on the other.

Today, many people are engaging in same sex relationships and saying they are not gay.

My philosophy of dating is to just fart right away.

It’s not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

I think about it, and I realize there's been some version of a Batman or Spiderman or Superman franchise since I was a boy, since before I was a boy.

Growing up, money is important. And now I have a career where I'm making enough money to live. But I really want to give it to my parents, my family, charities, and people around me.

No man is much good unless he believes in God and obeys His laws.

I've been really lucky not to have a duff experience with a director.

Adopting any child is a walk into the unknown. It takes Faith.

I have my own gym. When you do jokes and they sell, you get a gym.

Fill up the goblet and reach to me some! Drinking makes wise, but dry fasting makes glum.

No matter how well a person writes, a successful book is a team effort involving many, many people.

My mom, through my dad, rented the apartment next door to his... he had the lease on both places. But then, she would dress up and act like his maid... a practical maid. No fantasies.

The Seven Cities of Gold always fascinated me. Southwestern U.S. history especially fascinates me. The whole spur of the Spanish exploration of the Southwestern U.S. was the search for these mythical Seven Cities of Gold.

Man values life as a sacred jewel in such a way that he reveres him most who haughtily scorns it.

While there's life, there's hope.

I learned some valuable lessons about the legislative process, the importance of bipartisan cooperation and the wisdom of taking small steps to get a big job done.

To be very honest, I cannot drape a saree myself. I have never draped one on my own, ever. But it has been done on me so many times, that now I have memorised all the steps, and if someone challenges me, I will surely be able to do it.

Postmodernism is an academic theory, originating in academia with an academic elite, not in the world of women and men, where feminist theory is rooted.

You really have to be ambitious and have that drive to really become well known and successful as a standup.

I would hate to be immortal forever.
