I am actually 7 foot and and one-half inches tall. I say Seven two because it's easier. Unlike some tall skinny guys I am really "big" weighing around 350 pounds.

Not only did God deliver me from the bondage of alcoholism, he also blessed my family financially because of my commitment to honor what he had done for me and for not doing what I believed could possibly be destructive to others.

Once a Bond fan, always a Bond fan.

It is always more fun to play a bad guy than to be yourself as you can create a character unlike your own and be someone you are not for a change.

To put it mildly, I'm not crazy about the implication that pregnant women are incapable of deciding for themselves.

I'm very aware of the presence of a reader, and that probably is a reaction against a lot of poems that I do read which seem oblivious to my presence as a reader.

Bostons freeway system is insane. It was clearly designed by a person who had spent his childhood crashing toy trains.

We all try to escape pain and death while we seek what is pleasant.

Design is defined by light and shade, and appropriate lighting is enormously important.

We have said the first step was to designate the land, inform the owners. And the second would be to get the responses from the owners. And this will be openly done.

You have to tell the whole truth, the good and the bad, maybe some things that are uncomfortable for some people.

I have so much that I want to say to you, but I can't say a word.

Hope and purpose in this world is living as best as you can and maybe having life that gives back. But simply giving back isn't purpose; it's a branch of purpose, but it is not the trunk or root of the tree.

My golf score is really bad. I don't know. I'm definitely not a good golfer. Off the tee box, I can drive it about 275, and I'm in the fairway about 99% of the time. It's my next shot that needs work.

The whole climate is changing: the winds, the ocean currents, the storm patterns, snow packs, snowmelt, flooding, droughts. Temperature is just a bit of it.

Whether it's Alexander Brand or Sergey Kovalev, I approach every situation the same way.

My husband and I own a CrossFit Gym. Crossfit is perfect for me because it's always competitive, all the workouts are in a class environment, and it's different every day. It's a constantly varied functional fitness workout done with intensity.

I'm not Catholic. I don't believe in God. But at the same time, I'm obsessed by the sacred, by spirituality. The question of redemption has been present well before Christianity, but as French people are a bit stupid, they see all that in religious terms.

Voting has proliferated in the United States, and it has reached a point where there is now almost one vote available per citizen over the age of eighteen.

In Ghazalia, Mr. Hussein showed his contempt for the majority Shiites in ways large and small. He refused to allow them even one mosque, while the Sunnis had nearly a dozen. To worship, the Shiites had to cross an inconveniently located bridge over the sewage canal to Shula.

When you're in a movie, they treat you like you're four years old and give you whatever you want.

Writing nonfiction has been my most serious education, and for all those years it kept me from even glancing in the direction of despair.

As humans, we're going to make mistakes. It's what makes us human, and most of the time, the most effective way of learning is from a mistake.

If somebody ever wished to be me for a day, they'd be the most pissed-off person once they got here. They would be, like, in hell.
