But words are things, and a small drop of ink, Falling like dew, upon a thought, produces That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.
It's hard for me to think about this, but I first went to Southeast Asia as a Marine more than 40 years ago, as a young Marine. I was on Okinawa and then in Vietnam. I've returned in many different hats, which I think has helped me to form my own views about policy out there. I've spent a good bit of time in this region as a journalist.
I think one of the problems when we discuss the Israel-Palestine conflict is people talk too much in terms of, 'What's your preference?,' like politics is a Chinese menu - I'll take one from column A and two from column B. That's not what politics is about.
We could walk 3 minutes and be on the beach. I think the music kind of suffered because of it. It kind of smelled like Jimmy Buffett, which is a bad thing.
People feel uncomfortable talking about racial issues out of fear that if they express things, they will be characterized in a way that's not fair. I think that there is still a need for a dialogue about things racial that we've not engaged in.
A lot of people think that when you have grand scenery, such as you have in Yosemite, that photography must be easy.
I think what we have in this country is a little more dangerous in a way because it can't be seen fully. It's sorta internal censorship. We censor each other.
When I listen to my own records, I always think, 'Oh, I could have sung that so much better.' But you have to finish something and turn it in. If I didn't have folks who say, 'Come on, we need the record now,' I probably would never finish one.
I think romance is anything honest. As long as it's honest, it's so disarming.
One of the things that separates a good genre movie from a bad genre movie, I always think, ironically, is when you care about the people. The dime a dozen ones are where you don't have any awareness of the character.
I think there is a certain sensibility to someone you are attracted to and when it rubs off that's good.
I always wear sunblock before my makeup. Sometimes, as Latinas, we think our skin holds the sun better, even if it's cloudy. That's not true. You always need SPF.
I would say to my colleague that the misery index, inflation and unemployment, when added together is the lowest it has been in the last series of Presidents, even going back to Jimmy Carter. So I think the Bush administration is doing a good job.
Well that's actually happened to me a couple of times... but I really think that men, when it comes to falling in love, are less... I guess you could say less aggressive.
I've always loved science fiction. I think the smartest writers are science fiction writers dealing with major things.
I think there's a terrible price to be paid when your exterior life is not an honest reflection of your interior life.
I think the bar is higher these days in terms of audience expectations of authenticity.
Nobody can predict the future. You just have to give your all to the relationship you're in and do your best to take care of your partner, communicate and give them every last drop of love you have. I think one of the most important things in a relationship is caring for your significant other through good times and bad.
I mean, I think having a great family like I do. You know, I tend to want to give it all I have when I'm at the golf course, and then when I leave I don't want to think about golf at all. And I just remind myself almost daily that golf's just my job, it's not who I am.
I don't think you should go around talking trash about people because I think that's how you get your hat handed to you.
I think sometimes women are not driven by the same, albeit, testosterone power thing that pushes men to get into politics.
I think a lot of women have too many mini skirts in their closets.
I think poetry can help children deal with the other subjects on the curriculum by enabling them to see a subject in a new way.
I don't think you can tell the objective truth about a person. That's why people write novels.
For my own part I think no innocent species of wit or pleasantry should be suppressed: and that a good pun may be admitted among the smaller excellencies of lively conversation.
I have a few friends that I think would go to bat for me no matter what. Flea is definitely one of them. Guy Oseary is one of them.
When it comes to the work, I'm excited to see what people think. When it comes to the private life, that's when I don't pay attention.
I think I'm a very sentimental person. Conscious or not, that's what draws me to the kind of films I want to make.
To be honest, I feel like I think too much. So I like working out because it makes me kind of relax.
Ideas are all around me. If I wasn't interested in them myself, I don't think anyone else would be either.
Look, I don't think President Obama would have bowed to the ruler of Saudi Arabia if he didn't have oil to the degree that the Saudis do. I think they and other producing states, almost all of whom, except Norway and Canada, are dictatorships or autocratic systems, have thrown their weight around because of oil.
I think the best way to keep a relationship hot is to simply try to make time for each other. That's it.
You have to get over being shy, and just be comfortable with yourself, and I think that for me, if I'd stayed in a small town, I'd be a different person.
I think Barbie and I are very similar in many respects. That's why she made such a great muse for the summer Moschino collection.
We're all expendable. We think the world's going to stop when a pope dies, or a king. And then... life goes on.
And I guess what I would say is that we can't think narrowly about movements for black liberation and we can't necessarily see this class division as simply a product or a certain strategy that black movements have developed for liberation.
