The problem is that you cannot prove yourself against someone who is much weaker than yourself.

As history since Hiroshima shows, the best, perhaps the only, way to curb war is to deter it with such overwhelming force as to turn it from a struggle into suicide.

Assuming China does not become destabilized and continues to grow, it will no doubt develop a military program in proportion to its resources.

If you are strong and fighting the weak, then if you kill your opponent then you are a scoundrel... if you let him kill you, then you are an idiot.

Sun Tzu does not need my praise. His work has lived for over two thousand years, and will surely live for another two thousand without any help from me.

In the future as in the past, both Clausewitz and Sun Tzu will undoubtedly have a lot to offer.

I don't think a director should have any kids. I don't even think it's good for your physical health. Even guys in their 30s look exhausted because directors never get enough sleep. What I do is stressful enough.

I've been to war, and I know the consequences and sacrifice it takes. If we must fight, we fight to win.

Our duty was to try and find the Japanese fleet. We never did find the Japanese fleet and I am awfully glad, because they had attacked us there with six carriers, three battleships, 10 or 15 cruisers, and about 20 destroyers.

Lips are no part of the head, only made for a double-leaf door for the mouth.

I've been really fortunate in the fact that I've gotten a chance to do a real wide range of all different kinds of characters.

The amount of pressure that I've put on myself as a defensive coordinator for the last 10, 11 years, I really believe there's a lot more decisions that go into that position than the head coach.

I wanted to show off - a simple impulse or drive; in much the same way as some kids wanted to play football, I wanted to show off. Not complicated in that sense, very natural; it just depends on how you want to show off.

With network, shows are pulled half the time after three episodes whether they're good or they're not good. It's a numbers game. With cable, they can take a lot more liberties.

Good people are good because they have come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success.

I still get nervous when I have a lot of makeup on, a big hairdo, and a dress.

I think I've had my fill of electoral law.

I have a fantastic team, and it's much easier having children, because that creates a natural limit.

Every day is a different day in New York; there's always something new going on.

I don't have acknowledged preferences of characters.

Honor has not to be won it must only not be lost.

People who buy 'The National Enquirer' would buy poetry. They should be given a choice. I'm absolutely serious.

Each one of us can do a good deed, every day and everywhere. In hospitals in desperate need of volunteers, in homes for the elderly where our parents and grandparents are longing for a smile, a listening ear, in the street, in our workplaces and especially at home.

I inherited my love of gold jewellery from my grandmother.

I change my mind so much I need two boyfriends and a girlfriend.

To me the only real star of the movie is the writer. And I work with writers very closely, from outline to first draft and on to the seventh draft, whatever it takes. Then my job is to support the director to make the best movie we can. Some producers try to go past them, but my job is to support them.

I would be more frightened as a writer if people thought my movies were like science fiction.

One of life's terrible truths is that women like guys who seem to know what they're doing.

Few people know how to be old.

I'm a bad girl. I always fall for good guys.
