I believe happiness is a choice. Some days it is a very difficult choice.
I don't actually believe there's any such thing as privacy.
As a father, I believe that involving children in sports at a young age is generally, a wise proposition. I believe that healthy competition is... well... healthy; that sporting events foster a spirit of teamwork that far surpasses the events themselves; and that active participation keeps children moving and is good for their self-esteem.
I believe in peace-building in any kind of platform, be it a political platform like Parliament or negotiations like peace-building negotiations.
I believe in the First Amendment. But I also believe we should be mindful of how other people feel.
I believe that the human motive to share is very powerful. The human motive to profit is also very powerful, and I think that the profit motive and the sharing motive are not exclusive.
We now think it hilarious that medieval streets were used as open sewers. Equally, our descendants will say: 'You won't believe this, but people were once allowed to hurl a couple of tons of dangerous metal around smashing into each other.'
The writing is the springboard for your intuitive stuff and then you see, maybe a colour of what you want to achieve. Then you bring in the technique you've learnt. But when you're on film, you're not always in control of that. That's what makes me believe in a kind of collective unconscious, a sort of experience you draw on.
I've found my calling with Twitter. It's all about the amount of interaction you do, and the traffic you move, and I'm really good at that. I keep going and going and going, and no one can believe that I can keep it up.
My experiences and training back at drama school were very enlightening. I always believe in improving, be it kathak or my acting skills, and would want to experiment more when it comes to work.
The word 'theatrical' makes me cringe, because it suggests a performance is staged, put on, rehearsed. And while all this is true for an opera, I believe the act of singing and performing should always be honest, raw, guttural.
We as Americans believe it's OK to kill people. We believe it's OK to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. We think it's OK to invade a country where we think Osama Bin Laden is and he's in the other country. So we just go in and we just kill. And we have the death penalty; we sanction it.
I don't believe in publicity before a film is completed. It costs you money and wastes your energy, and you're inflating your balloon before you have a balloon.
You can't deduce the personality of the potter from the pots. It's a thingy you've made and offered to somebody else for their use, and, believe me, a novel is like that. It's a made thing and ought not to contain a direct self-expression of the writer.
I firmly believe that you can't manufacture chemistry with anyone, let alone a kid.
I really believe that 'Saw' makes us stop and think and question our motives and what we're doing here on Earth.
Everyone at home sitting on their couches, they think it's so easy to fight. Stepping inside that cage is probably the hardest thing in the world to do. I truly believe that.
I believe being a good senator requires two things. Number one, acumen. Number two, interest.
The paradox is that I have no love for myself as a human being, but I have immense pride in the music I make, and I believe it has an important place. Others do, too, and the thousands of people with Morrissey tattoos certainly proves something.
I really believe in the idea of the future.
I definitely believe in plastic surgery. I don't want to be an old hag. There's no fun in that.
I don't believe in having a separate workout for quarterbacks. Other players hate that.
I definitely believe in ghosts.
I believe we all have the right as private citizens to endorse candidates and participate in the political process.
I believe a lot in destiny and I think that if something didn't happen, it was for a reason.
I actually don't believe in big government, and half the time I'm never quite sure I believe in government, generally.
I believe that as a writer and a director, you're only providing the skeleton of a character, and you're hiring actors to fill it out.
I am really laid back and kind of go-with-the-flow, but I will never do anything that I don't believe in.
New York is not the centre for American culture and art that it once was because of the forces of conservatism. Giuliani, capitalism - and then there was 9/11. I really believe that if I leave, it will suffer! Maybe that's why I love it here, because I feel wanted.
Russians not only vehemently despise blacks, they believe Africa begins at the Ukraine border.
I am of the school that believes, for the most part, that gays are born and not made. That is, I believe - and there appears to be significant scientific evidence to back me up - that there is a genetic predisposition to be gay.
I firmly believe that with President Trump in the White House, we have such a great opportunity as conservatives.
I sort of make believe. That's why I like acting. You can create or imagine anything.
I believe the things that happened to me as a child scarred me terribly, and I wish somebody would have helped me with some of the things that happened.
I can't believe there is a poet who hasn't eagerly put down a word one day, only to erase it the next day deciding it was sheer lunacy. It's part of the process of selection.
I think God has blessed this country with enormous natural resources, and we should pursue all of the above. We should be developing oil, and gas, and coal, and nuclear, and wind, and solar, and ethanol, and biofuels. But, I don't believe that Washington should be picking winners and losers.
