Whatever you may think of Mrs. Clinton as a character, I think she believes quite strongly in public service.
The only defense is offense, which means that you have to kill more women and children more quickly than the enemy if you wish to save yourselves.
Guns can turn you into an insider even if you're an outsider by nature, recruiting you into a loose fraternity of people who feel embattled and defensive and are primally eager to win allies.
Take risks. Ask big questions. Don't be afraid to make mistakes; if you don't make mistakes, you're not reaching far enough.
I collect art, and I drink wine... things that I like that I had never been exposed to. But I never said, 'I'm going to buy art to impress this crowd.' That's just ridiculous to me. I don't live my life like that, because how could you be happy with yourself?
No matter who you are, black, white, green, there's going to be things in your way, you know what I mean?
I spoke French a bit, and I could speak a bit of this and that, and when you were taught those things by people who couldn't really do it, you can do some pretty wonderfully, imaginative horrific things to teachers.

You've got people who are looking at DNA evidence and other evidence like that and they're ignoring it.

A lot of the advertisement is done by saying: first of all, have a complex about who you are.
I believe you can make forces of good and evil work for you, to get what you want.
The more you try to look sexy, the lamer it is, so you just have to commit to the comedy.
It's interesting to me; you do four, five or six of these Comic Cons or things like that across the country a year. Obviously, I get busted a lot of 'Weekend at Bernies,' but the fans for horror movies are so wonderful and so loyal.
Any time you got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up.
There's a huge question of whether you really need water for life.
I started rapping before anybody had ever bought a car from it. It was truly about the art form and the culture, more so than now, where it's a successful way to make money. Back then you had to be doing it because you liked it.
Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity.
People come up to me in pubs - gay pubs, mind you - and can't believe that I'm gay.
Fear not; and the God of mercies grant a full gale and a fair entry into His kingdom, which may carry sweetly and swiftly over the bar, that you find not the rub of death.
You can't do opera when already from the 10th row you can only see little dolls on the stage. In such an enormous space you can't put much faith in the personal presence of the individual singer, which is reflected in facial expressions, among other things.
I do what I do. You like it, great. You don't, go listen to somebody else. I'm stickin' with the people who stuck with me.

When there's a revolution in Egypt, you can't really get depressed about not knowing what happens after you die. When there are millions out on the streets, that's not the time to start panicking about contracting swine flu.
So if you look back over the long history of China, they've never tried to take over the world, but they've been quite aggressive in their own neighborhood... in carrying out their own purposes and interests in their sphere of the world.
In life, usually, even if you live in a big city, you can count on your fingers on one hand how many real friends you have; that's human.
Growing up as a young kid, I was in a restaurant. So, you know, I always had a very good understanding of the nuances. And in a way, that was a bad thing. Because it kind of programmed me to believe that if you're going have a restaurant, this is what you need to do, and this is the way it's going to be run.
The Constitution does not demand that you or I buy anything.
What material success does is provide you with the ability to concentrate on other things that really matter. And that is being able to make a difference, not only in your own life, but in other people's lives.
