To administer is to govern: to govern is to reign. That is the essence of the problem.

There's no huge, deep message in any of the songs. We recorded a few months of being human.

You could arm-chair quarterback what the president did or didn't do, or was asked to do or asked not to do. I guess I'm more focused on what's going forward.

The most important thing for Quentin and the most important thing for me is to make the best film possible.

I've always had an interest in doing something that was outside my comfort zone; I had this thing about standing on the edge of the cliff and deciding to jump.

Cambridge was a joy. Tediously. People reading books in a posh place. It was my fantasy. I loved it. I miss it still.

I do personal appearances, and I meet my fans, and I am genuinely honored that they come out to say 'Hello' and just to see me.

Being recognised on the street in New York is pretty surreal.

I'm just a country boy from north Georgia, and I have three children and a wonderful wife. And when I look at my three children, who are 8, 11, and 12, and they really represent the faces and the future of the children all across my congressional district, and what the Tea Party stands for is not extremism; it's about their future.

Writing is an extreme privilege but it's also a gift. It's a gift to yourself and it's a gift of giving a story to someone.

Videos are a very difficult medium to be good at and also a difficult medium to consume quickly.

I was a psych major in college and I actually owned two white lab rats. I had to train them and I took them home so that's just kind of missing for me.

Blend is great for designers because it implements a lot of sophisticated behaviours, but for what I like to do, hand coding XAML is preferable, particularly because I have to publish it.

I suppose that was my first bit of acting, the acquisition of an English accent. It was really just an attempt to be understood.

I want to tell women that you need to love yourself and make yourself a priority. It's only when you are happy yourself, can you make everyone else around you happy. I am still a dreamer and still believe in fairy tales, but there is only that much one should give another person. You need to keep something for yourself.

I've never done anything particularly scandalous.

Our modern states are preparing for war without even knowing the future enemy.

I was big time into Barbie. I also had Wonder Woman Underoos that I really liked. I actually wore them as an outfit to school. As I said, I was a strange child.

I think touring is hard.

If you're really invested in feeling bad about the world, there are a lot of media outlets out there that you can turn to.

I've always been that person: If it gets into my head, I've got to do it until I get it perfect - a perfectionist's attitude.

I want to be part of movies that have important and interesting subjects but are not depressing and are rather satirical and funny.

I've always been interested in fashion, the clothes, but I'm not that familiar with the fashion industry; for me it just comes out of quite an innocent sense of style.

The idea of what's acceptable and what's shocking, that's where I investigate. I mean, you can't be on 'Top Gear,' where your only argument is that it's all just a joke and anyone who takes offence is an example of political correctness gone mad, and then not accept the counterbalance to that.

I don't remember much about the specifics of the economics courses that I majored in - I apparently internalized the key concepts - but I still remember vividly the thrill of reading 'Don Quixote,' Epictetus, 'The Aeneid,' 'King Lear' and 'Candide,' and how contemporary the stories and ideas in these old and ancient texts struck me.
