I am not a rabid partisan.

The war on Iraq was a disaster, clearly carried out under false pretences.

One must always keep one's government under control.

I think it's time for the people and the press, in particular, to be more vigilant about not giving equal weight to lies as they give the truth.

Giving the same value to fiction as to fact in the interest of so-called fairness is to mislead the American people and the press has become party to that.

I am not a rabid partisan.

No longer is there a quest for the truth so much as there is this apparent need to present both sides of an issue even if one is nothing but lies and distortions.

Nuclear weapons kill Americans - they don't kill Republicans or Democrats - they kill Americans.

I have long felt that it is readers and viewers of conservative media who could benefit from a more balanced discussion of what is at stake in our policy and the actions of our government.

When a government goes to war, particularly a democracy, it is the most solemn and awesome responsibility of our leaders - to decide to send our kids to go off and kill and die for us.

The government serves the people - not vice-versa.

I am a gentleman. My natural inclination is to be on my best behavior.

These are people - I'm for immigration - legal immigration. I've been an immigration attorney. But people who have come to our country and violated laws, we should not be providing full health care services.

We have the new greatest generation. We don't need as large a military due to the technology we have, the equipment we have outfitting our personnel. They really are storm troopers.

We need to be discussing issues specifically to help the American people. And that would not include illegal aliens.

What I know now is that we're all interconnected and that's a really beautiful thing. We have links to everyone else in our lives and in the world. Different people have different journeys for different reasons. You can't judge, but you can celebrate that there are connections everywhere.

I think it is a great gift to make people laugh, and it shouldn't be underestimated.

I've had friends of mine hire people that I know well or that have worked for me, and I haven't gotten the call to do a reference check. That's almost the most basic thing one can do to assess them.

The most interesting character to me is someone who is stuck in the no man's land between Belief and Unbelief, Faith and Faithlessness. I'm capitalizing like a German, but it doesn't matter whether it's faith in a person or in God, or belief in science or whatever, it's the desperate in-between state that makes for interesting dramatic tension.

I was born too late and missed the dream of empire. Its shadow, the Commonwealth, coincides with my life but rarely connected with it.

A negotiation is a strategic conflict.

Getting to places like Bangkok or Singapore was a hell of a sweat. But when you got there it was the back of beyond. It was just a series of small tin sheds.

Always think of what is useful and not what is beautiful. Beauty will come of its own accord.

When I was young, I'd fight everyone who insisted I'd be an actress. I'd say, 'No way. I'm going to be a veterinarian. I'm going to work at Wetzel's Pretzels.'

Nobody heard him, the dead man, But still he lay moaning. I was much further out than you thought, and not waving but drowning. I was much too far out all my life, And not waving but drowning.

Film is where I want to end up, but I don't want to let go of theatre.

'Late bloomer' is another way of saying 'slow learner.'

There's been quite a few conversations between me and my wife; she'd like to see my hair brown again. So who knows what will happen.

Yes, we have got to quit worrying about fighting each other and trying to figure out a way to work together.

Dreaming is an act of pure imagination attesting in all men a creative power which if it were available in waking would make every man a Dante or Shakespeare.

I live making comics. Comics is an industrial art but less suffering, because comics are for young people who are more adventurous. I do that. I live off comics, and then I write books, but when you want movies, you cannot make movies without money.

So many people prefer to live in drama because it's comfortable. It's like someone staying in a bad marriage or relationship - it's actually easier to stay because they know what to expect every day, versus leaving and not knowing what to expect.

I always had a penchant for falling in love. Every time I found myself without a mate, I fell into a state of low-sizzling panic.

It is a remarkable fact that all the heresies which have arisen in the Christian Church have had a decided tendency to dishonor God and to flatter man.

I want to be frozen on the hope that they'll find whatever I died of and bring me back.

Comedy is my first love; that's my main goal in life - to keep doing comedy.

I never did anything by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work.

Self-driving cars will enable car-sharing even in spread-out suburbs. A car will come to you just when you need it. And when you are done with it, the car will just drive away, so you won't even have to look for parking.

Do not stare up the steps to success - step up the stairs!
