Dads are like chocolate chip cookies they may have chips or be totally nutty but they are sweet and make the world a better place.

Dont be offended when people dont seem to get you. Not everyone recognizes brilliance.

I work out at least 5 times a week.

Look, I want what's good for everybody. I want to promote good state education for all. I want to raise standards for all kids, irrespective of race and class but why can't they all just do what I say when I know I'm right?

It's possible to get through life without a religious structure, but I don't think that's a very fruitful way to live.

I was taught by professors who had done their schooling in the 1930s. Most of them were scornful of, even hated, big business.

If you don't treat an ingredient and its flavors with respect - if you drown it in oil, for instance - you'll spoil it.

I came from a very normal, un-Hollywood background. My parents provided me with every sort of normal upbringing that they could.

When I was growing up, we were taught in school that North Koreans, and especially the North Korean leadership, were all devils.

In terms of wilderness preservation, Alaska is the last frontier. This time, given one great final chance, let us strive to do it right. Not in our generation, nor ever again, will we have a land and wildlife opportunity approaching the scope and importance of this one.

Oh, my ways are strange ways and new ways and old ways, And deep ways and steep ways and high ways and low, I'm at home and at ease on a track that I know not, And restless and lost on a road that I know.

I always encourage people in the early parts of their career to focus on writing. If you can communicate clearly, if you can articulate a thought, if you can write a great story, then you're going to be successful.

I believe that telling our stories, first to ourselves and then to one another and the world, is a revolutionary act.

One secures the gold of the spirit when he finds himself.

The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

I feel like touchscreen technology blows my mind still. It just makes me think of all of the sci-fi films I enjoyed as a kid.

The game itself is bigger than the winning.

Dont be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart.
