Give me a break.

Happiness comes when we test our skills towards some meaningful purpose.

Give me a break.

I never wanted to be an anchor for 25 years, and suddenly I wanted to be one.

A thousand restaurants close every month. They re-open, and that's good for America. Nobody's rescuing them. They employ people, too. If we let them go bankrupt, the factories don't go away, the creative people don't go away. They get employed more productively by others.

All our rights are gradually eroded as government gets bigger.

Central authority is bad. The bias should be for freedom. And without a central authority, there are lots of little authorities, and we learn which ones to trust.

Companies don't get rich hurting their customers.

Competition leads both drug companies and private regulators to be trustworthy. If they are not trustworthy, they die.

I had to watch government fail for 25 years doing consumer reporting before I really saw it because intuitively, the reaction is problem, bring government and government will make it better.

I won't ever got to a place that's racist, and I will tell everybody else not to and I'll speak against them. But it should be their right to be racist.

I'm a libertarian. It's a terrible word.

I'm an American. I'm for prosperity. I've discovered, from 40 years of reporting, that what creates prosperity is limited government.

I've built my career on unpaid interns, and the interns told me it was great - I learned more from you than I did in college.

Isn't allowing people a choice what America is all about?

No transaction happens unless it is voluntary. It only happens if both of you think you win.

Patrick Henry did not say, 'Give me absolutely safety or give me death.' America is supposed to be about freedom.

People acting in their own self-interest is the fuel for all the discovery, innovation, and prosperity that powers the world.

People like getting what they think is free stuff from government.

Take away the government's monopoly, and private groups will do it better.

The happiest stutterers, I learned, are those who are willing to stutter in front of others.

The one thing I've learned is that stuttering in public is never as bad as I fear it will be.

The people who tried government regulation have lives which are miserable.

There is all of this protesting against corporate power, but in reality, corporations have to persuade you - they could have a ton of money, but actually only government can use force.

When entrepreneurs are free to compete, they grow the pie so that everyone's share gets larger.

When we were scared about 9/11, we federalized the airport security, we spent millions for body armor for dogs in Ohio. All that over-reaction comes from fear and government - bad combination.

You can either invade a country or leave them alone and trade with them. When goods cross borders, armies don't.

Entitlement How can you be entitled to someone elses money

I take my responsibilities very seriously.

I always did healthy things. I didn't sit around in nightclubs. Sure, I had my fair share of fun, but no one could ever accuse me of being a dilettante and doing nothing. I was always on this unbelievable quest to go and do.

There are plenty of beautiful girls who don't photograph well.

'Jane Eyre' was one of those films that I was familiar with as a kid, and I always enjoyed the story.

The best people to provide valuable information about any society are the children of that society who belong to its culture and are part of its collective conscience.

Cheer up the worst is yet to come.

When Blur first started and we were playing Manchester the Hacienda was the place to go. That was where a lot of exciting stuff was happening and London was pretty dead.

My introduction to the Brady book was an attempt to nail the exact same idea since Brady addressed the point. And since I write pornography, naturally, something of an obsession for me.

In special education, there's too much emphasis placed on the deficit and not enough on the strength.

I'm more enthusiastic and excited about work than ever. I know now what I'm about.

When people know I wrote 'Thelma and Louise,' they don't want to mess with me.

In a world where irony reigns, where you have to separate, protect and laugh at anything that is honest or has an emotional charge, I bet for catharsis. I like to invest emotionally in things. And catharsis, when it touches the emotional vein, can open the doors of even those who protect themselves.

There are no wrong notes in jazz: only notes in the wrong places.

The world believes all blondes are stupid and brunettes are smarter. Well, I disagree.

Looking after my health today gives me a better hope for tomorrow.

Ten years ago, it was really difficult for a young actress to walk onto a set and disagree with the director and having that be OK and have a conversation about it and everyone be cool with it.

The Rolls Royce was the real first car. It wasn't the first new car I got, but it was the first real car I bought that's like, 'Wow, I got this.'

I loved Debussy, Stravinsky, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, anything with romantic melodies, especially the nocturnes. Nietzsche was a hero, especially with 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra.' He gets a bad rap; he's very misunderstood. He's a maker of individuals, and he was a teacher of teachers.

I've rung my bells so many times, especially back in the day when chair shots to the head were legal. My goodness, I took so many of those.

When I dress in a certain way and do my hair and makeup in a certain way, it's not to get attention.

People want someone focused on getting the job done, not political talking points but rather solving problems.
