The quality of life decreases with heightened security.

I don't like getting patted down and taking off my shoes at the airport.

Courtship is romantic. Marriage ... is an act of will said Pippa taking a sip of water. I mean I adore Herb. But the marriage functions because we will it to. If you leave love to hold everything together you can forget it.

History tells us that a general can move and feed an army as efficiently as he likes, but the real litmus test is the battlefield.

I read an article that said one in five Americans thinks Elvis is alive. I want to find those morons and get them registered to vote for me.

I've never run a company before, and I don't want to feel like a boss. I just want to turn up and do my work.

I thought it would be cool to Skype with fans on their birthday and spend, like, a half-hour with them. I did a couple of two-hour Skypes. I just hang out with them and play songs and stuff. At first they're kind of shy, but after a while they open up. I've had a lot of people tell me I'm doing something no one has ever done before.

Obviously I've had crushes, and I've tried to make things work with people, but it doesn't when you're away so much. I like to think, 'Don't go looking for it; it'll happen when it wants to happen.'

Personally, I do not know whether humankind is alone in this vast universe. But I do know that we should cherish our existence on this precious speck of matter... the greatest gift that could be bestowed upon us. For all practical purposes, there is only one planet Earth.

My job is making money, helping other people make money. I am spending money, trying to make sure more people get rich, because you cannot spend a lot of money, right? So my job is spending money, helping others. This is a headache.
