Reactions to the White Paper 1939

Content arises out of certain considerations about form, material, context-and that when that subject matter is sufficiently far away.

You will only be remembered for two things: the problems you solve or the ones you create.

I feel sorry for the person who cant get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied but he will never achieve anything worthwhile.

What does it mean to truly believe in America? To wave a flag? Or to struggle toward a more searching alternative to the shallowness of the flag-wavers - to criticize, to interrogate, to analyze, to dissent?

When the music changes, so does the dance.

I am private.

I do not know which to prefer, The beauty of inflections, Or the beauty of innuendoes, The blackbird whistling, Or just after.

You have to have a globally competitive mining dispensation.

The honest man might observe... that no one gets something for nothing; that politicians go in poor and go out rich; that the Government screws up everything it touches; and that the Will to Believe is best confined to the Religious Venue, as to practice it elsewhere is just too damned expensive.

There are things I've done in the past I'm not proud of - and I could talk about them if I wanted to - but I don't reveal my secrets... I prefer certain things to remain personal; there have to be boundaries. And I don't think you need a scandal to have an interesting story.

Fear is my mind painstakingly creating the worse-case scenario and then putting it on steroids.

I like that feeling of letting loose, of not planning every step. The best performances are the ones that you just let happen.

I have soundtracks for a lot of stuff.

I am living on the razor's edge between success and failure, adulation and humiliation - between justifying my existence and revealing my unworthiness to be alive.

Don't get married until you're certain that you're marrying the right girl. How did I know my wife was the one? I'd seen her for a couple of months. I liked her. She was a very creative person and she had a very good grip on politics and business.

My passion for giving is no different than yours. I give because it's in my heart to give. I give because I was taught to give at a very early age. This is how I developed my passion for giving.

My theme is going to be: Together we can win the future. The right policies lead to the right results. And I'm going to argue that President Obama will lose the future because the wrong policies lead to the wrong results.

Advertising at its worst will be killed by the Internet. And rightly so.

Trying to build a spaceship by making an aeroplane fly faster and higher is like trying to build an aeroplane by making locomotives faster and lighter - with a lot of effort, perhaps you could get something that more or less works, but it really isn't the right way to proceed.

It's a pretty heavy thing that happens to me when I'm at competitions. I get so sucked in, I can't really turn it off.

Every season is a new challenge to me, and I always set out to improve in terms of games, goals, assists.

You're looking at a different me than I'm looking at.

My uncle Shawn used to stay with us when we were really young, and I used to come downstairs and see him break dancing on this piece of a cardboard. I probably always thought they were cool since then. I never knew his comedy, but I used to always see him break dancing. And he was terrible at it.

You know, I think when I reflect on it, I think there's certainly a sense of history. When you have ambitions to play this game, you want to be one of the best ever, and you want to play so well and be so effective that you want people to remember your name 100 years from now.
