Unfortunately, religion, like patriotism, is easy to misuse for political purposes.

Knowledge of other people's beliefs and ways of thinking must be used to build bridges, not to create conflicts.

A person's worth is quite independent of their usefulness to society.

We must never relinquish the vision of a humane society and a humane world.

We have to find compromises. That's the way it is in Norway.

Villa Grande has in many ways symbolized an important, but less than pleasant, part of our history.

Extremists and populist movements are exploiting people's fear of those who are not like us. We can see the consequences in the form of terrorism and racially motivated violence.

We have a good life when we manage to live with both satisfied and unsatisfied needs, when we are not obsessed by what is beyond our reach.

Don't believe those who claim that only left wing parties really care about employment.

Knowledge of other peoples beliefs and ways of thinking must be used to build bridges not to create conflicts.

The man of genius inspires us with a boundless confidence in our own powers.

It's so amazing that you can give somebody like David Fincher 'House of Cards,' and he can do whatever he wants - Netflix doesn't say, 'Oh, you can't do that,' or, 'We need a subplot here about this.' It's pretty neat that it is allowing the creatives to be creative.

America is an empire. I hope you know that now. All empires, by definition, are bumbling, shambolic, bullying, bureaucratic affairs, as certain of the rightness of their cause in infancy, as they are corrupted by power in their dotage.

My life had been very work-orientated, and all in close-up. Once I had the family, it went into sudden widescreen.

I run a business and go all over the world doing things for that business, things that are fairly orthogonal. But my job is to run my company, not to be the best Instagrammer. I'll let other people be awesome at it.

Only silence perfects silence.

I get up at 6:17 in the morning. I've timed it perfectly.

I did Lassie for six years and I never had anybody come up to me and say, 'It made me want to be a farmer.'

I loved that these two guys argued with each other as if movies actually mattered. Nobody I knew talked about movies that way, but Siskel and Ebert took each movie as it came and talked about whether it was a success on its own terms.

Any kind of problem you have in your life, you come to Bikram. Your life becomes the best in the world.

All mankind's inner feelings eventually manifest themselves as an outer reality.

I have spent time in Mongolia, in China.

Jazz is there and gone. It happens. You have to be present for it. That simple.
