You are either going forward or you are not.

We have a model that we're following, and it's the Libya model.

There is a different future that is available to North Korea, if they choose differently.

What we can do is to explain as clearly as possible what the benefits would be of him going down one path, and what the potential consequences would be if he chooses another path.

The format's better because it gives us a much stronger hand to play when going to the North Koreans unified, with our allies and partners in the region, all of us saying the same thing: telling them their current course is unacceptable.

I'm not sure you can do anything quickly or easily with the North.

Sometimes we tend to focus more on the personalities and the conflicts, and it really caricatures the issues.

First of all we have to recognize that despite all the problems - and in some cases failures - that this regime has been much more successful, much more resilient, than people had anticipated.

And it has to do with having no inventory or stockpiles on the shelf, but items arrive as you need to build your product. What that means is that it's much more difficult to actually find stockpiles of already built weapons.

Any agreement that you have isn't going to be based on North Korea's intentions or trust.

And so there has been a lot of diplomatic movement.

First of all, I think the situation today is different. We're in a different place than we were in '93, '94.

You are either going forward or you are not.

The other countries did not share the same concern the United States had in the early '90's - that North Korea actually had an ongoing nuclear weapons program.

It's up to Kim Jong Il to make that decision, and we can't make that for him.

It's time for the IRA to go out of business.

Again, I think we have much greater diplomatic weight by having all of us sit on the same side of the table wanting the same thing, and putting it to the North Koreans.

You have to play the cards you are dealt and if it has made it harder, it doesn't matter, you still have to get the deal done.

We need to do a lot more thinking about how the regime is going to evolve, how the bad guys are going to adapt their tactics, and what measures we're going to need in order to go forward.

So, in a sense, the verification piece is irrelevant to the format issue.

We are hopeful that the North Koreans can show a little bit more realism, a little bit more flexibility.

Now North Korea certainly is located in a different place geographically, but I think it faces the same type of strategic decision. Does it want a different future for its people?

But with lots of good ideas, implementation is the key, and so we need to keep our eye on the ball as we go forward and make sure that people honor their pledges in terms of financial commitments, and that we actually use this money so that it makes a real difference.

The nexus between terrorism and nuclear weapons, or even nuclear material, is obviously a current concern.

Everyone I have spoken with so far recognises the need for the IRA to respond positively and every has said sooner is better than later and I think there is some concern if it does continue to delay much longer that the situation isn't going to remain the same.

So the president set out the policy guidance and said it had to take place in a multilateral fashion so that other countries in the region could be invested in the success of this process.

I'm actually about as famous as a fourth division footballer from the 70s.

There's always been a relationship between the film world and fashion.

The novel is a highly corrupt medium, after all - in the end the vast majority of them simply aren't that great, and are destined to be forgotten.

I hate watching myself on film because I am so judgmental.

I think it's good that I had some experience of the real world before I became successful. You know, having to get up in the morning and going to work in construction.

I kept starting 'Anansi Boys' as a movie and stopping, and eventually wrote the novel and was happy.

If I see a now-28-year-old woman coming up to me, she's probably thinking of 'Juno' because she watched it with her parents when she was 18 years old.

I'm glad that Gov. Scott down in Florida accepted ObamaCare, because it will work.

Bob Dole is not a bitter man. That part is jarring. His life was hard.

I love to go shopping and see what catches my eye.

Marriage is one of the most sacred human institutions. I asked our Senators, as many South Dakotans have done, to protect marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

When I look back, I'm definitely proud of what I did. It kind of allows me to move forward and reset my goals.

Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live.

I'd like to do something involving jazz. But books are how I earn my living, and I'd like to stay with the horse I rode in on.

There is no impossibility to him who stands prepared to conquer every hazard. The fearful are the failing.

I started my career wanting to make a 'James Bond' movie, and I couldn't get hired! I made 'The Bourne Identity,' and ultimately the impact of that film was that it changed the 'James Bond' franchise.

A eulogy is a life lived with a loved one or friend condensed into a few moments relating poignant and witty stories about them to a hushed congregation. The deceased has then an eternity to ponder the remarks with the possibility of spectral visitations to request a retraction.

My faith makes me willing to do things that may look like there's going to be a lot of physical difficulty. And you just go ahead and do it because you truly believe it's the right thing to do.

Sometimes, the inessential is essential.

I love golf. But do you know how I got good at golf? Because of Charles Barkley. I was playing with Charles, Michael Jordan and Roy Green, and Charles was talking so much trash. On every shot, he was talking trash. So I left the tournament, and I went and practiced for a year and half.

Celibacy is the worst form of self abuse.

Fear is real, but so is love.

We are more sensible of what is done against custom than against nature.
