I'm against the capturing of Eastern Orthodox temples.

If Russia rises, it means that the USA falls down.

The matter of international relations is very subtle and exquisite.

We'll surely stop the work of all western Christian and eastern religions, and also Islam.

And, for instance, Baptists, Adventists, Lutherans, Pentecostals - let them exist on line with others.

Americans try to talk about positive family values, although the actual state of things is disastrous.

The civilized world needs to think about a decision when single politicians are not allowed to stay in power.

I didn't sign any contracts, and I didn't see any oil.

There is no problem with the opening of new houses of prayer for Lutherans and Pentecostals.

I mean, in general, the danger is from Oriental faiths and Islam.

We'll limit in all ways the work of religious faiths which are foreign to us.

Europe has united, China is growing speedily and Russia possesses immense power in terms of fuel resources. The US administration cannot do anything about it.

The USA experiences the crisis of ideological and moral values.

I'm against the capturing of Eastern Orthodox temples.

We don't need this religious cosmopolitanism. It's no good.

The only thing I oppose is persecuting of Eastern Orthodox priests and temples.

I believe in full freedom for Christians of all denominations.

Russia is an Eastern Orthodox country.

A mother-in-law is better than a single and childless political persona, though.

The true reason of Ms. Rice's attack against Russia is very simple. Condoleezza Rice is a very cruel, offended woman who lacks men's attention.

We must force the government to stop the bird migration. We must shoot all birds, field all our men and troops... and force migratory birds to stay where they are.

Military police is very timely for our army.

Let Catholics build their own churches and works.

I've never signed any contract and never received a cent from Iraq.

Here in Russia,, in many cities, people are irritated by Caucasian intrusion. Caucasians come from foreign countries; they are ubiquitous: in markets, shops, hotels, restaurants. They misbehave, and in this sense we have feelings similar to those that the Germans have toward the Turks and the French toward Algerians.

The West will have to choose: either to come to terms with Russians, or to receive a retaliatory blow. This retaliatory blow will not be by means of war. We will resort to the same weapon: nationalism.

There is no such thing as Russian fascism. You won't find a single Russian who considers Russians to be a superior race and who advocate expulsion of aliens.

As human beings, of course, we're all compromised and complex and contradictory and if a screenplay can express those contradictions within a character and if there's room for me to express them, that's a part I'd love to play, so much more than a character who is heroic and one-dimensional.

Dreamers dream the dream, Artists live it.

I have learned that sometimes "sorry" is not enough. Sometimes you actually have to change.

You're only an immortal until someone manages to kill you. After that, you were just long lived.

The world is governed by institutions that are not democratic - the World Bank, the IMF, the WTO.

I had managers approaching me in high school asking me if I wanted to act professionally, but to me, having to miss school to do that meant missing time with my friends, which was completely unacceptable.

The Premier League is the best league in the world; it's so strong. The smaller teams love to try their chances against the big ones, and this is why the game goes back and forth. That can be strenuous, tough on you and your body, but I really love it.

It is the curse of prosperity that it takes work away from us and shuts that door to hope and health of spirit.

Progress was all right. Only it went on too long.

Im inspired by anyone whos honest in their own expression people who truly beat to the rhythm of their own drum.

I love Marlon Brando and James Dean. That was when it was all about the star and the script. Nowadays, everything has to be action-packed.

I'm asked all the time in interviews about who I am, and I know a few people my age who have a strong sense of self, but I couldn't say I know myself and sum it up and give it to you in a little package. I don't know myself at all yet.

A king should die on his feet.

Good and Evil Deeds are not equal. repel evil with what is better. Then you will see that one who was once your enemy has become you dearest friend.

Superstition sets the whole world in flames, but philosophy douses them.

When I was young, there weren't any teenage girls I could relate to in film. They were all put in boxes: the virginal good girl, the really sarcastic asexual one. I wanted to do something that represented how I felt then.

You can call me a pain. I'll accept that as a compliment.

I'm not very bright about money. I'm not domestic either. If I don't learn how to cook, maybe I won't have to.

On average, Australians watch more than three hours of television a day, compared with 12 minutes a day spent by the average couple talking to each other.

The apotheosis of the controlling mind is monstrous and terrifying.

People might not protest for overtly political or social causes, but when they can't feed themselves and their family, they will take to the streets.

My dad was very much a John Wayne kind of guy, but he was also a great guy, great sense of humor, a real dedicated dad. I don't think he ever missed a hockey game I was in.
