My parents split up, and a lot of things going on in the outside world made me want to immerse myself in an alternative world.
And these things are pretty much foundational: thou shall not kill, steal, bear false witness. All these things are embedded into the laws we enjoy in our nation.
And one of the things I've tried to do in my first months in office is to give more Georgians - reporters and members of the general public alike - a closer look at how their government works.
They don't ask much of you. They only want you to hate the things you love and to love the things you despise.
Every single day, I'm curious about everything. Curiosity is finding answers to things.
My mum passing away wasn't funny, but that funeral and what I went through, the things that happened, looking back at it, there were funny moments. You have to be strong enough to look back at it, to sit and assess the situation.
By the time we see that climate change is really bad, your ability to fix it is extremely limited... The carbon gets up there, but the heating effect is delayed. And then the effect of that heat on the species and ecosystem is delayed. That means that even when you turn virtuous, things are actually going to get worse for quite a while.
I seem to be getting a lot of things pushed my way that are strong women. It's like people see Hackers and they send me offers to play tough women with guns, the kind who wear no bra and a little tank top. I'd like to play strong women who are also very feminine.
I'm a blind optimist when going into things.
But you talk to most filmmakers and it is six, seven, eight years trying to get things off the ground. It is incredible really.
I like to make things. It's been part of my identity since I was a kid.
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 try to stay away from carb-y things at dinner.
What we have, what we wish we had - ambitions fulfilled, ambitions disappointed, investments won, investments lost, elections won, elections lost - these things may occupy our attention, but they do not define us.
Sometimes immense things, like war and death and aging, are best seen from the corner of the eye and written of only obliquely, with tremendous lightness.
The name Crow was inspired by a number of things. I thought it would be cool to have a robot with sort of a Native American feel to it.
There are lots of things which I would love to tell him, but in some way, I also feel that I lost the person closest to me. And I got a second chance to live. So in a way I feel that I live for both of us... and I will do my best.
I don't think most conservatives are against access to birth control, but they are wary of funding things like Planned Parenthood.
There is so much to do on a film set. It is an extraordinarily invigorating and wonderful place to be, when things are running well.
I had the opportunity at Duke to start doing things in the community, and it's something I continue to do even 20 years later.
There're so many things I want to do, like become more media savvy. I am too lazy. But I'm making an effort.
Salads was a big indicator of that - there was a huge market out there for it. And why not tap it? Some of the things we are doing now around the globe are responding to customers. It's not because some guy sued you.
I'm not always up to date on everything that's going on, but I am somewhat informed. I listen to NPR. And I actually watch Fox News, because I believe, if you just listen to the things that agree with you, you're not really seeing anything else.
The older I get, the more I'm prepared to do things for the money.
When I was a young man, I was overly sensitive to things, and I found it difficult to eat when I was nervous.
I never considered myself a supermodel or anything like that. I mean, I don't think I'm ugly. I have good days and bad days, and I like when I'm fit and lean and all of those things that any woman likes, but it's not the eye of the hurricane for me.
Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
What people say isn't going to stop me. I have to do things for myself.
The sublimity of wisdom is to do those things living, which are to be desired when dying.
The funniest guy I've ever worked with - it's just one of those things, again, where we look at each other and just laugh - is Jimmy Byrnes from 'Wiseguy.' Jimmy - we can't be in the same room together. He knows he can make me laugh just by looking at me.
Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you're generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make.
A pioneer destroys things and calls it civilization.
I love being around kids; they're honest and refreshing, and I love teaching them new things.
Genius, scholar, and war hero though he is, you have to admit - or maybe you should think about admitting - that George Bush might have rushed things a little in invading Iraq.
The Universal view melts things into a blur.
Personal savings accounts to me are one of the most powerful things, not necessarily in saving, solvency, or bankruptcy of the program, but in guaranteeing, the words I used a few minutes ago, a safe and secure retirement for our seniors.
