‘Why do you read law?’ If only I could answer, ‘Why wouldn’t I read law,’ in an interview. #shortbreak009 — Never actually tried it and don’t think I ever will. Calculated the risks involved and it seemed irrational in my circumstances.

If equity and trust has taught me one thing, it’s to never be a trustee. You can sit like a rock or work like a beaver, once it appears you’ve slacked, you’re screwed. #shortbreak001

The moment when a privy council’s (pc) decision is favoured over that of a House of Lords’ (HoL) PC: Yo buddy, you ok? HoL: Shut up. PC: Oh c’mon, I don’t get much attention very often anyway! #shortbreak002

After s14(2) SOGA 1979, I’ve never worn new underwear without washing them first. #shortbreak003

When in doubt, ask E-Law resources :) Google is the consolation prize. #shortbreak004

Wondering if the OLA 1984 was enacted to experiment whether a landlord would befriend a trespasser #shortbreak005

When we laugh after being asked if we understood the pass year exam question, even our lecturers know we’re screwed. #shortbreak006

Remember those study group gatherings where each of us argue in one author’s voice so that our perspective of the law was whole? #shortbreak007

Law is not boring. In fact, there are popcorn moments. My personal favourite is when one Supreme Court judge slams the argument of another in a highly complicated manner to not offend his/her buddy. #shortbreak008

TV is not a necessity? I. Will. Kill. You. #shortbreak010

I don't want actors to be writers. I think it's too much responsibility.

The risk of the Holocaust is not that it will be forgotten, but that it will be embalmed and surrounded by monuments and used to absolve all future sins.

I think gymnastics trained me as a person, too. Without the lessons I learned in gymnastics, I would be crushed.

I think you just have to take everything that happens on a TV show with a grain of salt. You sign up for a show for six years having zero idea where they're going to go with the character, so you just have to get on the ride of the show and go with wherever they take you.

You measure the size of the accomplishment by the obstacles you have to overcome to reach your goals.

We try and stay out of the corporate side of it. The band has never compromised. At some point in our career we could have made a certain type of record and sold millions of units, as they are called.

The combination of Federalism and Republicanism which formed the substance of the system did not constitute a progressive and formative political principle but it pointed in the direction of a constructive formula.

Children are one third of our population and all of our future.

I'm the most un-diva-ish person you'll meet. I'm never rude to people and I am always on time.

An unexamined life is not worth living.

I call my therapist every other day. It's not a one-stop shop. You have to push away all that negativity in your head. Face it, name it, let it go.

If you really taste a doughnut, it's pretty disgusting. They taste of grease.

People in Eastern Washington should be confident in knowing that the government will not come and seize their property or farm land. Legislation is needed to correct this decision and restore the principle of having limited government involvement.

The Eucharistic sacrifice of the body and blood of Christ embraces in turn the mystery of our Lord's continuing passion in the members of his mystical body, the church in every age.

Healthcare for all is a human right.

Some people will go to the opening of an envelope. They live their lives in the public eye and get off on it, they need it. They need that kind of adoration. If their name isn't in the tabloids once a week they feel like a failure.

I rememeber one time we were getting ready to go to South America and everything was packed up and in the car ready to go and I hid and I was crying because I really did not want to go, I wanted to play. I did not want to go.

I hope Lee's scandal isn't real.

I like dreams of the future better than the history of the past.

I don't really wear makeup. I don't like the feeling of it. I just put mascara on, and that's kind of it.

A problem is a chance for you to do your best.

War has always been a part of science fiction. Even before the birth of SF as a standalone genre in 1926, speculative novels such as 'The Battle of Dorking' from 1871 showed how SF's trademark 'what if' scenarios could easily encompass warfare.

I should tell you that many people think that authors just cut and paste from real life into books. It doesn't work quite that way.

When you use words loosely, without care and consideration, you erode trust in yourself and in what you're saying. When you squander words, you diminish your power.
