To be a naturalist is better than to be a king.

As machines get to be more and more like men, men will come to be more like machines.

I've never heard anybody in my family say anything but good things about Rick Perry.

The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.

Sometimes its not the person who change its the mask that falls off.

If pleasures are greatest in anticipation just remember that this is also true of trouble.

I love finding balance. My favorite thing to do is action-driven, emotionally-charged scenes.

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

Evil, by definition, is that which endangers the good, and the good is what we perceive as a value.

The war on terror, if this is a war on terror, can only be won by a sincere regional and international cooperation. All have to believe they have something at stake and work together. In the absence of this it will become political and interest-oriented.

I learned to discipline myself to do things I didn't want to do.

The power of the silent filibuster to distort Senate politics is now accepted on Capitol Hill and by the press as normal and not worth mentioning. Let me be the skunk at this political garden party and say this stinks. Representative government was not designed to work this way by the Founding Fathers.

I'm not perfect, but I think that I've done good to stay focused on what I'm called to do.

If you asked an 18-year-old what they want to do with their life, and the options are 'Transformers' or Lars von Trier, he's probably shipping out for 'Transformers.' If you ask a 26-year-old what he wants to do, 'Transformers' or Lars von Trier, he'd probably pick Lars von Trier. So, my sensibilities are changing as I change.

No man ever achieved worth-while success who did not, at one time or other, find himself with at least one foot hanging well over the brink of failure.
