I think George Bush is one of the most duplicitous presidents we've ever had.

I think George Bush is one of the most duplicitous presidents we've ever had.

I've been a very effective leader in the gay rights movement, though at times I've been controversial.

I was appalled and shocked that Bush used the State of the Union to attack same-sex marriages and indicated that he would support a constitutional amendment.

Our invisibility is the essence of our oppression. And until we eliminate that invisibility, people are going to be able to perpetuate the lies and myths about gay people.

I cannot believe that the American people and the people they elected would use the Constitution to stifle any group's rights.

I don't want to make it sound like a hotbed of lesbianism but I did have a number of relationships.

If Carter had been there when the AIDS crisis came up, it would have been a whole different story. It could have been treated like a legitimate disease.

I think variety is the spice of sticking with an exercise routine, whether it's getting a dance tape one day, or getting a tape with those stretchy things to work with resistance on a different day.

Well, I'm not a big sports fan.

Every moment in our lives is a miracle we should enjoy instead of ignoring.

Today, in 2011, if you go and buy a color laser printer from any major laser printer manufacturer and print a page, that page will end up having slight yellow dots printed on every single page in a pattern which makes the page unique to you and to your printer. This is happening to us today. And nobody seems to be making a fuss about it.

People have always liked to be frightened. People love to feel that jolt of adrenaline. People love roller coasters. People love skydiving. These things that really get your heart pumping, and horror films are sort of a safe way to get that rush I guess.

Screenwriting and making movies is really playing make-believe like most of us did as children.

A woman's body never really belongs to herself. As an infant, my body was my mother's, a detachable extension of her own, a digestive passage clamped and unclamped from her body. My parents would watch over it, watch over what went into and out of it, and as I grew up, I would be expected to carry on their watching by myself.

The Geezer album, Black Science, had a lot of keyboards and it did not work.

When you lose a person you love so much, surviving the loss is difficult.

If one day I leave Arsenal, I will never sign for another English team. Quite sure.

I haven't read enough of the Bible. You know, I'm saving the Bible for if I ever get imprisoned, and the only reading material was the Bible.

My mother and father met at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. He was a senior and she was a junior, and their marriage didn't last very long.

I look at myself objectively and in a way I see myself as a commodity. Your name becomes somehow outside yourself. Now, when I'm at home being Mrs. Scarfe, that's when I'm most myself.

Who wouldn't fancy Brian Epstein? He was tall and handsome and had money and class.

My job is to give the president and secretary of defense military advice before they know they need it.

Ambition is pitiless. Any merit that it cannot use it finds despicable.

My producer, Michael Knox, he's kind of my eyes and ears on Music Row. While I'm out on the road, he's looking for songs, and then he and I will get together and go over songs.

My writing is about connecting ways of talking to human relationships. My purpose is to show that linguistics has something to offer in understanding and improving relationships.

Pianists call me a composer, composers call me a pianist. The classicists think me a futurist, and the futurists call me a reactionary.

My family was a Christian family. But I had to get to Kansas to play the blues.

I don't really know much about cars.

I watch children a great deal; their idea is that rules are always negotiable, whereas you absolutely cannot joke at the airport about your toothpaste, and you cannot rollerblade in Grand Central Station. I keep running up against these things.

People believe the only alternative to randomness is intelligent design.

Femininity and sport can go together.
