The war and terrorism in the Middle East, the crisis of leadership in many of the oil-supply countries in the developing world, the crisis of global warming - all these are very clearly tied to energy.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

We are 5 percent of the global population and consume a third of the total resources - on some level we should all feel guilty relative to the world.

There's a pressure regardless of that to do a good show.

I walk around feeling a sort of existential guilt all the time; and honestly for me this house is a way of feeling less guilty about the universe.

It is, I think, harder for women. I haven't quite figured it out, and all of my women friends haven't figured it out -how the hell do you do this? How do you work and have families?

Making a movie is a long, dull process. There's a lot of waiting around.

Everybody seems to know me. It's very strange.

I think Elaine would go out with anyone if they showed interest in her. She's nuts. The woman's nuts.

The war and terrorism in the Middle East, the crisis of leadership in many of the oil-supply countries in the developing world, the crisis of global warming - all these are very clearly tied to energy.

It's much more acceptable for men to work and father kids. There's an inherent inequality, because we want to do it all, and I don't know how we can do this all.

I guess if I wrote a book one day, it would be about hair.

When I got pregnant my foot grew, but I was denying it. I've been denying it for three years.

I'm particularly fortunate to be in a position where I can bring my child to work and be able to get good child care. Not a lot of women have that.

I always wanted to perform.

When I was growing up, I always thought my hair was messy.

Even my great grand-mother did impressions.

The Seinfeld motto: No learning, no hugging.

I really do like to work. I will work again. But on my terms.

Doing a half-hour TV show is a dream.

L.A. I could live without.

The fact of the matter is that everybody treats me pretty much as one of the boys, which I take as a great compliment.

The schedule of doing a live TV show every week is very difficult.

I dropped out of college my junior year to do Saturday Night Live, and I didn't even consult my parents. They were very supportive because they had no choice.

If you feel rooted in your home and family, if you're active in your community, there's nothing more empowering. The best way to make a difference in the world is to start by making a difference in your own life.

I've actually considered going with my married name, Julia Hall, but all the paperwork.

Before computers, telephone lines and television connect us, we all share the same air, the same oceans, the same mountains and rivers. We are all equally responsible for protecting them.

Elaine is just in pain. I think Elaine has become very, very sad woman. She is someone who is in deep need of many hours of analysis and I like to think that I'm not that type of person.

And Seinfeld is so quick: we crank out one show a week, and the hours are very reasonable.

I'm not the type to cut back on hot showers, but there's no harm in hot water when it's warmed by the sun.

New York is nice, but I don't like it as much as I used to.

I have no agenda except to be funny. Neither I or the writers profess to offer any worldly wisdom.

Some people can sometimes really invade your space and kind of never leave you alone.

As an actress, it appeals to me because I love the idea of playing those in-between moments, the sort of behavioral stuff that one might not normally see.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

If we wait for the U.S. to do something, we will be waiting for a very long time. It's Europe, it's Australia, it's the other developed and middle developing countries that have got to do the job.

These interests of the workers, as the exploited and oppressed, class of society, are the same in all countries.

Countries under foreign command quickly forget their history, their past, their tradition, their national symbols, their way of living, often their own literary language.

I have to say that it's very few countries that are willing to look back at its past and apologize for its act, or make amends for its act, as the United States had one.

Grossing Out dealt with the western nations selling arms to the Third World and exploiting these countries.

One of the biggest development issues in the world is the education of girls. In the United States and Europe, it has been accepted, but not in Africa and the developing countries.

It is normal for politicians in all countries to profess themselves the pupils of history, anxious to draw the right lessons from her teaching.

After the 1954 Geneva international conference, Vietnam was divided into two parts. On paper, North and South Vietnam were twin countries born at the same moment.

Most of the international community, most of the countries around the world, don't want any side, any party to take unilateral steps. They would like that all of us to stick to the road map.

We are at war to liberate Iraq, to protect the people of the United States and other countries from the devastating impact of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction being used by terrorists or the Iraqi government to kill thousands of innocent civilians.

Nor is the suffering limited to children in developing countries.

If some countries have too much history, we have too much geography.

The Baltic Sea is becoming more and more polluted. Not everybody living near the shore of the Baltic Sea is protecting it. It is the water of life for countries like Finland and Sweden.

The U.S. routinely ranks lower than other countries in health outcomes such as infant mortality.
