I don't like the idea of busing children all over the country. It's not safe. And there doesn't seem to be that much of an urgent need for it to be done.

Almost all Iraqis with any previous experience in the intelligence business are Sunni Arab, increasing the risk of penetration of the new intelligence apparatus by the insurgency.

Some of these bulls are gonna' spin those cowboys so fast, they'll look like a frog in a blender.

The whole purpose of those attacks was to drive those contractors out. Lots of them had to leave. They were terrified.

If they make the deadline because the Shiites and Kurds essentially rammed a draft through over Sunni Arab objections, there will be hell to pay.

People were floored when they saw that the underwear bomber, after less than 50 minutes of interrogation, was given the rights, privileges, and immunities of an American citizen under the Constitution.

I get really scared about how the Internet is shifting and changing everyone's minds, and the way we see ourselves and interact online. Everything is so diluted now.

What interests me is why men think of women as witches. It's because they're so fascinating and exasperating, so other.

Every action done in company ought to be with some sign of respect to those that are present.

I don't miss acting at all.

Do not despise humble beginnings. The Son of God began His life in a humble manger.

It's possible to make things that aren't just money-makers. Something wonderful for its own sake.

Discouragement is simply the despair of wounded self love.

Most of the time my own family feels like I don't need anything, I'm tough as nails and I don't have any feelings about anything. They really think that I'm this super tough person. I have a tough exterior, but I get upset. I have feelings and all those things. I wear my heart on my sleeve.

I take great pride in having been able to overcome the Asian financial crisis and seeking the opportunities available to bring about an unprecedented growth in the economy.

When my son was growing up, I was always guilty, no matter what I did. Make decisions and be happy with the decisions you've made. I tell myself, in the long run, it's the love, the quality of relationships that you have with your family, your friends and giving back to the community that matters.

Comparison is a very foolish attitude, because each person is unique and incomparable. Once this understanding settles in you, jealousy disappears.

I have a really supportive, great group of friends, and we all push each other. They come to my shows, I go to their premieres; it's wonderful.

If you see a friend without a smile; give him one of yours.
