Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it enough time, the public, the reviewers will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather ridiculous, when you think about it.
I think when you have strong leadership at the coaching level and you empower the coach and the coaching staff, you have a lot more stability.
I like loud music. I like music that fills my ears. I'm just going to pull out my iPod and see what we got here. We're always interested in new bands because we have a retail store in northern California. I think it's got to be happy.
I think a cyber-terrorism attack is overblown, though the threat exists. I think al Qaeda and other groups are more interested in symbolic terrorism, like what they did to the World Trade Center - suicide bombers or something that really has an effect and is meaningful to people.
Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one.
I think tech lives inside of a society that still has a lot of systemic racism and doesn't stop at the boundaries of the tech industry. But neither is it especially exacerbated by being around technology. But it is maybe exacerbated by the irrational decision making of people who are trying to make money.
Don't think of him as a Republican. Think of him as the man I love, and if that doesn't work, think of him as the man who can crush you.
I think that gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.
I just kind of go with what I am feeling and don't think I have any kind of recipe for it... I mean, that's what drew me into writing. It's fun, and sometimes you don't get a great song. Sometimes you do.
I did not think much what I was writing them for, except that I knew I wanted my next novel to be in some less conventional form than straight narrative.
Well, I think we need to have attrition by enforcement. We need to secure our borders. We need to enforce our laws.
I do want to finish my education. I just don't think that Boston has a big enough market for what I want to do.
You just don't luck into things as much as you'd like to think you do. You build step by step, whether it's friendships or opportunities.
I think FoxNews ratings are a reliable guide to the attitudes of the American electorate.
I think there are steps that can be taken that haven't been required or energy to make that fight more secure and we are going to continue to push the federal government to do that.
It's funny when someone says to you 'you're hot' and all that, because I don't think of it in that way.
I do think we need heroes. It gives people hope and an example to follow.
Birds and animals probably think without knowing that they think; that is, they have not self-consciousness. Only man seems to be endowed with this faculty; he alone develops disinterested intelligence, intelligence that is not primarily concerned with his own safety and well-being but that looks abroad upon things.
It was more exciting to get that first book published, I think.
I do think that with any kind of infidelity, on some level - unless you're dealing with a sociopath - there's always a reason.
You know the great irony is that people think you have to have money to enjoy fine food, which is a shame.
I think it is very difficult today to have a reasoned public discourse on any controversial subject. Certainly, election years present a complicating factor.
I think I came to see Islam, or at least one part of Islam, as an important defense mechanism against the commercialization of the world.
I think you will find scientists that think like you in Germany and Britain, and you will find politicians that think like Weinberger. I think the most bellicose ruling group in the Western world at the moment is the British.
You know, the man of my dreams might walk round the corner tomorrow. I'm older and wiser and I think I'd make a great girlfriend. I live in the realm of romantic possibility.
There are competing studies on how much crime drops or doesn't drop when there are strict rules on gun possession and sale. I don't think there's any question that New York City's very tough laws have reduced violence.
I think a lot of Indians want Indian artists to be cultural cheerleaders rather than cultural investigators.
I think the rising and falling popularity of areas like hard SF and far-future SF is, to a considerable extent, the same as any other fashion.
Some people pray to a totem pole, some people pray to a sun, some people pray to a god. It all works for them. It all comes back to what you think.
There cannot be any better cross-section of America and I think the soldiers represent the best we have. Today's soldiers are brighter and smarter, perhaps in a different way, than past generations because they've been brought up in the computer and information age.
I don't think that we necessarily lie. I mean, we make our living by pretending that we're someone else. I don't tell tall tales. I always tell the truth.
I think the people we meet in life and the loves of our lives are very, very important in what we become, like change us - when it's right, probably change us for the best.
I don't think of myself all the time.
But I think, and hope, that the novels can be understood and enjoyed as science fiction, on their own terms.
I feel like you get more bees with honey. But that doesn't mean I don't get frustrated in my life. My way of dealing with frustration is to shut down and to think and speak logically.
Actually, I think my hands are in the best shape they've ever been in terms of what I can do.
