Global poverty is the product of reversible policy failures overseen by politicians, past and present. The poorest of the poor don't vote in American or European elections. They don't make donations to political parties or hire lobbyists in D.C., London or Canberra.
We're always flexible and pragmatic... It's always important to watch the unemployment rate and to make sure that we can keep most Canadians working. We were successful in that back in 2008-09.
There is virtually nothing I wouldn't be willing to do, to try and make sure that children have a fair shake in life.
We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.

Women are tenacious, and all of them should be tenacious of respect; without esteem they cannot exist; esteem is the first demand that they make of love.
I think the Christ-myth stories make great stories, whether it's 'The Matrix' or 'Braveheart,' they all are tapping into some kind of deep myth in our DNA, and by myth I don't necessarily mean false.

The things that I have said when I was young and curious about whatever the subject matter was, I respect those - those are growing pains.

I'm not even mad at the things I said that were a little dicey.
