When kids are met with the highest expectations and given the extra supports they need, they can be as motivated as kids anywhere.

People are not patient anymore.

I like men. They are hugely entertaining, but they have a lot of shortcomings and you just have to bear those in mind.

I haven't written anything in four years. I'm sort of dried up.

When you do a record like 'Talk,' and you're happy with it, and it reaches your ambitions and then doesn't sell as well as you wanted, it kind of takes the wind out of your sails a little.

It should be clear to all, after the past ten years, that NATO isn't attacking Serbia because of Milosevic; it is attacking Milosevic because of Serbia.

I have never believed in my own ability to succeed at everything. I recognize I'm a human being like everybody else, and I make mistakes and fall short time and again.

Films about women and their concerns are seen as frivolous, limited and, most damaging of all, niche.

Copy my favorite moves and my Tour-proven setup positions, and you'll start catching it on the sweet spot every time, with every club in your bag.

We're moving away from a credentialed society to a merit society.

Another cause of change, one less noticeable but fundamental, is the modern growth of population closely connected with scientific and medical discoveries. It is interesting that the United Nations has set up a special Commission to study this question.

Everything has been said yet few have taken advantage of it. Since all our knowledge is essentially banal, it can only be of value to minds that are not.

Just because they disagree, doesn't mean you aren’t right.

The trouble with a series as it gets older is it can feel like a tradition, and tradition is the enemy of suspense, and it's the enemy of comedy. It's the enemy of everything, really. So you have to shake it up.

I love the Russian classics very much, the Russian classical literature. But I also read modern literature. As far as Russian literature is concerned, I am very fond of Tolstoy and Chekhov, and I also enjoy reading Gogol very much.

The fact is there is forgiveness for those who seek God. And I believe in the power of redemption.

No power on earth is greater than a mind and soul reawakened. Our Constitution begins 'we the people', not 'us the government'.

The insurance companies aren't covering that. Should Monsanto be liable for these losses? Should the state government? Who's going to cover the losses? The fact is, here's an industry with no long-term liability in place.

I am always busy, which is perhaps the chief reason why I am always well.

No matter how challenging things get, never stop believing in yourself. Self-doubt is nothing but a highway to failure.

Since 2001, people have been scared. There's been some really scary stuff that's been happening - 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, Katrina, anthrax letters, D.C. sniper, global warming, global financial meltdown, bird flu, swine flu, SARS. I think people really feel like the system's breaking down.

I definitely eat in moderation and exercise.
