I think my parents were immigrants, you know, so I guess I would be first generation. Growing up in California.
I concentrate on preparing to swim my race and let the other swimmers think about me, not me about them.
It is better to go skiing and think of God, than go to church and think of sport.
My favourite plant is the foxglove. I think they are a perfect balance between being a garden plant and a wild plant, as at home in woodland as they are in a city.
I think we were the first picture to cut on Final Cut Pro. So we were the guinea pigs, because we got a deal on the system. But with that comes all sorts of technological problems I couldn't begin to describe.
Just put down 9/11... I think, on most things I'm liberal, except on defending ourselves and keeping half the money. Those things I'm kind of conservative on.
I think we are all slightly down in the dumps after another loss. We may be in the wrong sign... Venus may be in the wrong juxtaposition with somewhere else.
The only difference between me and others is that they think they can change something with cute little poems, nice cards or embracing trees and being nice to little lapdogs.
I think you can be terribly overexposed. I've been always very careful in my career to do theatre; it takes you out of the television eye, and people are glad to see you back again.
I think it's dawning on some Democrats that obstructing the Patriot Act, like they've been obstructing everything else, is bad for them politically.
I think that making love is the best form of exercise.
I don't have false teeth. Do you think I'd buy teeth like these?
I didn't go to high school. I think that after you learn to read and write and do your numbers and flush the toilet behind yourself, you don't need no more schoolin'. You need to get out in the water and swim.
I think I'm making music that's pretty universal.
I am less disposed to think of a West Point education as requisite for this business than I was at first. Good sense and energy are the qualities required.
I think it's really, really important to grow the consensus and to realize that there is always some value that can be shared with another American, on any issue. Starting from those points of common belief and shared values is very, I think, important to forging the consensus that allows these issues to more forward.
I used to always sing my way into the movies and the basketball games or whatever. I'd sing for whoever's on the door, and they'd let me in. I used to think I was Nat King Cole back in the day, you know. So I'd sing something like, 'Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you,' and they'd let me in.
There should be an element of mystique between the fans and the artist. That bit between the stage and the audience. I think that's necessary.
I think it is important also to recognize that our Customs border protection officers who secure our borders and conduct inspections of people in vehicles and cargo are also facing staffing shortages.
I love doing horror with comedy twists and I think it's a really fun genre.
I don't think most conservatives are against access to birth control, but they are wary of funding things like Planned Parenthood.
I really think that aside from admiring my talent you really admire me as a person and as a woman.
When somebody asks me what I do, I don't think I'd say critic. I say writer.
I don't think children themselves have changed that much. It's the world that has changed.
I don't think God cares if I wear nail polish or not. I don't think that's a deal breaker for him.
I don't think anyone is ever writing so that you can throw it away. You're always writing it to be something. Later, you decide whether it'll ever see the light of day. But at the moment of its writing, it's always meant to be something. So, to me, there's no practicing; there's only editing and publishing or not publishing.
Sometimes when I visit schools, kids will interview me for the school newspaper. They ask me questions and my answers tend to go on and on, and they try to write down everything I'm saying as quickly as they can. And one day, a kid holds up her hand and said, 'Do you think you could just answer 'yes' or 'no?' Aren't kids wonderful?
Think of all the mesquite in Texas, the pinyon pines, the acorns in Appalachia, every place has the possibility of mass production. It's an infrastructural system so nestled in ecology, it's a more beautiful ecology.
I'm not afraid of criticism or what somebody may think.
The more you think about and interact with other people, the more you realize that it is untenable to privilege your interests over theirs.
The way to make coaches think you're in shape in the spring is to get a tan.
I used the dictionary very minimally and I just wrote how I speak. And I speak very hateful manner usually. I constantly did that because I think the fans would get more out of it if they understood exactly what I'm saying - exactly where I'm coming from.
I think I'm one of the best. If you don't think that, then that's your opinion.
The liberal vision of America is that it should be less arrogant, less unilateral, more internationalist. In Obama's view, America would subsume itself under a fuzzy internationalism in which the international community, which I think is a fiction, governs itself through the U.N.
I don't think any of us can compete with Cowell. He is the best at what he does.
Influence, people think about it as someone you like but influence is also what you're revolted by. In fact, often it's what you're running away from.
