It was despairing to find out that I am mortal.

You don't say to a university professor who is immersed in a particular subject that they should get a life. They are encouraged to enjoy their subject and to pass it on.

It was despairing to find out that I am mortal.

There have been a lot of exercises and I've had to force myself to go out for walks even when I didn't feel like it, but apart from that, I am a lot better.

I have got the best of both worlds; growing up in Edinburgh and now living outside Glasgow.

I love doing crosswords, it's so important to keep the brain going.

As I matriculate my way down the field of life, I will never forget this moment and you wonderful people who helped make this day possible.

What we are effectively doing, I say this to the young people of America whom my colleagues represent, is leaving our children and grandchildren the tab for fighting a war, letting them pay for the lion's share of it by simply adding it to the national debt.

I'm just trying to keep things rich for me creatively and for the readers who follow me.

It would be a terrific innovation if you could get your mind to stretch a little further than the next wisecrack.

What sense would it make or what would it benfit a physician if he discovered the origin of the diseases but could not cure or alleviate them?

Morality is not just any old topic in psychology but close to our conception of the meaning of life. Moral goodness is what gives each of us the sense that we are worthy human beings.

It is absolutely impossible to settle the debts to pensioners, teachers, and others. The country hasn't got enough money to do so.

There's a point where you think, 'What else will I do if I don't do music?' It becomes your identity when it never should have been. But food ignited a fire in me, and I came right back to music because it no longer felt like a job. It was a really powerful thing for me.

I think what I've learned out of this lifetime is you should be proud of where you come from.

What fun is life without a bit of showing off?

I always loved Belle from 'Beauty and the Beast'. I always thought I looked like her, so I dressed like her for every Halloween.

If there were an election today, Netanyahu would win. Yet, his standing in the polls is also a reflection of the weakness of Ehud Olmert, the current prime minister - who stands at 2 percent in a recent poll - and the enduring weaknesses of the Labor Party.

I am a great person.

I really don't think there should be a movie about me. That's for sure!

The high destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule.

I don't really like New York better than Portland. It's just a different place.

Kristin Brown looks as though she could have been mailed first-class to New York for about a dollar and a half.

We oppose the reactionary policies of the U.S. government but we do not oppose the American people. We want to have many good friends in the United States.

I was a grunt, walking around in the jungle of Vietnam, trying not to find the enemy. Because I am so big, they were going to give me either a heavy radio or a huge machine gun to carry. I carried a radio.

As an actor, you work to the script: that's our main priority. But you have to be aware and look around for things that help you bring that little bit extra, that touch of realism that rams the point home.

I like being a pin-up girl. There's nothing wrong with it.

I'm a California girl, right? I grew up with that farm-to-table dining before it was sweeping the nation.

I have no arguments to defend how brutal and disturbing a ritual the corrida is. Like all tragedies, no matter the beauty created, there are no happy endings. If it is indeed an art form, bullfighting is the most disturbing I have ever witnessed.

When we're discussing who to invite to a dinner party, my wife Chaz and I sometimes use the shorthand, 'good value for money,' which indicates guests expected to be entertaining.
