If I'm confirmed, I'll be myself.

Private religious speech can't be discriminated against. It has to be treated equally with secular speech.

A judge can't have any preferred outcome in any particular case. The judge's only obligation - and it's a solemn obligation - is to the rule of law.

I have been a judge for 15 years and I've made up my own mind during all that time.

I think that the legitimacy of the court would be undermined in any case if the court made a decision based on its perception of public opinion.

My mission is to become part of Time Inc. and push the business forward.

I think my style is kind of a cross between a skater hippie and an R&B star. If there were something I was going to endorse, it would probably be something like sneakers. Something that would be me.

We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.

A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended.

Black-and-white always looks modern, whatever that word means.

My opinion, having done this now for two cycles, is I think the national media really likes me and likes what I have to say. But, at the end of the day, 'He's a Libertarian,' and that denotes some loose screws, maybe.

If I'm going to do something, I do it spectacularly or I don't do it at all.

Every superhero has this superhero identity and a civilian identity. A lot of their lives are about code switching.

I've got so many mountains to climb and goals to conquer. I've got so many scars I want to leave on the planet. I just feel like I'm not there yet. I feel like I am just getting started.

I should just put it bluntly, because we're all sort of friends here now - it's exceedingly likely that my greatest success is behind me. Oh, so Jesus, what a thought!

I have walked into the palaces of kings and queens and into the houses of presidents. And much more.

I'm obsessed with broccoli, carrots, celery, string beans, snap peas, black kale, brussels sprouts, cabbage - I could go on! They used to call me 'rabbit' when I was a kid. I hate mushrooms, though. I apologize to fungi lovers, but this way, there's more for you!

When you hear people making hateful comments, stand up to them. Point out what a waste it is to hate, and you could open their eyes.

When goods are digital, they can be replicated with perfect quality at nearly zero cost, and they can be delivered almost instantaneously. Welcome to the economics of abundance.

I discovered I was a monotheist... That rules out polytheism. I have also had a problem with authority, which rules out any religion with a priesthood or leader who claims to be God's representative on Earth.

Life expectancy is a statistical phenomenon. You could still be hit by the proverbial bus tomorrow.

Life is a series of baby steps along the way and if you add up these tiny little steps you take toward your goal, whatever it is, whether it's giving up something, a terrible addiction or trying to work your way through an illness. When you total up those baby steps you'd be amazed over the course of 10 years, the strides you've taken.

What is my message? That is what troubles me. I have not got a message.
