The White House is a strange place.

This strategy represents our policy for all time. Until it's changed.

The press briefing today I believe has lost much of its usefulness.

The White House is a strange place.

Youre still my person even if Im not yours.

I do disapprove very strongly of labelling children, especially young children, as something like 'Catholic children' or 'Protestant children' or 'Islamic children.'

If I produce it, I will stage it as a performance. A small audience will be invited; rehearsals of the sections will be done in the mornings, and those sections will be recorded in the afternoons.

When people go within and connect with themselves they realize they are connected to the universe and they are connected to all living things.

Capitalism is, fundamentally, an economic system that promotes inequality.

While the farmer holds the title to the land, actually it belongs to all the people because civilization itself rests upon the soil.

Art should never be limited - the beauty of art is that it gives us the freedom to go places where we wouldn't go to in our normal lives. Inside, I'm just so many different people. I go from the pretty girl on the red carpet to the singer at Ozzfest, spitting in the crowd. That's Jada.

I don't think there's room in video games for people to bring an ego. It's very frustrating for any actor to have someone who's a celebrity take over your place. Like the 'Uncharted' film, they're trying to find someone to play Nathan Drake. And it's like, why do they not think of us? We do this.

My mom sees her sons as baby boys. Well, I stopped being her baby boy a long time ago.

Ideologically, the pursuit of science is not that different from the ideology that goes into punk rock. The idea of challenging authority is consistent with what I have been taught as a scientist.

I've been accused of being old before my time more than once. It's true that I've always felt an affinity for, and been comfortable around, older people. I attribute this to a childhood spent around my grandparents - and even a great-grandparent or two. I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything.

When a country is strong... it accepts any dose of pessimism from its writers.

I feel like my kind of music is a big pot of different spices. It's a soup with all kinds of ingredients in it.

I think that 'Mr. Show' was a huge influence on me. It was literally the reason I started doing comedy, because I was asked to do a bit at The Comedy Store, and B.J. Porter and I went to see Bob and David - who I'd never heard of - do a live show, which was one of the shows that got them the 'Mr. Show' show.

I sometimes say I am a 'happiness optimist' but a 'revenue pessimist.'

I'm not superstitious.

I'm going to capitalize on everything I can.

Yes, we can pay the interest on the debt. We can renew the $500 billion worth of bonds that are coming due. We can mail out our Social Security checks. We can make sure those Medicare claims are honored. We can pay our military. We can protect our veterans. But when you get beyond that, the soup gets a little thin.

Belief is the wound that knowledge heals.

The majority of the new jobs being created require higher skills, more education.

I'm very conscious about putting good food into my body. Years ago, I went to see an amazing healer called Allah, who could read your body. She told me that I can't absorb vitamins very well, and I have to eat the right things to get my vitamins. I've always remembered that.

Being able to breathe underwater would be sweet.

I've always felt like we're all human beings and we're all basically given the tools to make whatever choices we want to make. How we treat other people. How we treat ourselves. Just the whole philosophy of that and the philosophical logic of that is that we're all capable of great acts of evil, and we're all capable of great acts of good.

Exterior beauty, without the depth of a kind soul is merely decoration.
