That was kind of scary. You got the sense as a little kid that you might be at risk now, and then you're like, 'Why are we at risk? It's because my grandfather is in charge of all of this.' You can't really realize the magnitude of a job like that when you are eight.
You have to support the government, not to me personally; I do not want anyone cultivating loyalty to me. I don't like that.
But I'll tell you something: We had a big family discussion about it recently, my two sisters and I, and I pointed out that we all have the same genes as our mother and we're all susceptible to becoming alcoholics.
For us, when we think about the Middle Ages, it's sort of this rarefied, distant time that we have no connection to, especially if you grew up in America.
Pretty much my feel toward MCs is, if you really got heart, you got passion, let's get on and do something. I like doing stuff with people that's real.
About the time you think you are getting to know the moves in this game, someone comes along and does everything but undress you on the basketball floor. Standing there under the basket with your hands cupped - and finding that you don't have the ball in them - is a great little old leveler.
I don't blame David Stern because a player gets on the court and he doesn't put out competitively. No one can make you play if you don't want to play.
I think you can tell when a New York show isn't shot in the city. It's so iconic and has such a specific energy.
Nobody wants you to stop, obviously because you're a moneymaking machine. But you have to make the decision and you have to move forward. So I took time off to have babies and do all that.
Had Rumsfeld said at any time 'get me a report on what's going on', he could have had it. You're right, it depends on choices that we make, which parts of the world we want to be in immediate contact with.
I should start by saying that traveling in the States is a bit like traveling in Asia. You need it, it helps to have an introduction - that there is a certain network.
It's like one of those dreams you have when someone is chasing you. You're running as fast as you can, and someone's trotting behind you, just out of range, trying to grab onto you.
Be able to live alone, even if you don't want to and think you will never find it necessary.
Libertarian principles are very simple, but you can't violate any of them and still call yourself Libertarian.
Only one guy can be world champion, and so if everyone else thought they were failures you'd have no one left on the grid.
The game of football requires attention constantly. If you miss one play, you can miss a lot of action - unlike some other sports.
It's an honor to be a part of Magic Shave as their new ambassador. One of the problems that some African-American men have with shaving is razor bumps. Magic Shave is perfect because once you eliminate the razor, you eliminate the bumps, and it's so easy to use.
A lot of acting, and I believe this, is either you can do it or you can't.
The play is not in the words, it's in you!
As a young player, achieving All-Star status isn't as easy as you might think.
Strangely, some songs you really don't want to write.
I try to keep in touch with the details... I also look at the product daily. That doesn't mean you interfere, but it's important occasionally to show the ability to be involved. It shows you understand what's happening.
When you feel like this isn't your business, get out of the business.
I think you know that I classify science as British science, American science, and everybody else.
I most earnestly advise you, again and again, love, honor, and obey your parents. Friends like them, you need not expect to find in this world.
Anything in which you're playing someone real does make you feel responsible for making the story as true as it can be.
If you're going to start a company, it's not going to be in the millions of dollars, but it's going to be something - for a lot of these kids - out of the trunk of their car, the same way that I did.
I'm not the slowest writer that you know.
Obamacare is bureaucrats getting between you and your doctor, and that's what Americans most dislike about this legislation.
When you think about those of us that live the life that we want to live, we can thank absolutely and completely our men and women in uniform. Because if it were not for them, we wouldn't enjoy the freedoms that we have.
We've become such a multitasking society that just paying attention to the road doesn't seem to be that important anymore. I have to remind my kids all the time that that's what you're supposed to be doing in the car.
You'll remember Dr. Rice said that several times: It was not a warning about the place and the method and the time - it was a general warning. And that points out the imperfection, if you would, of our intelligence.
When you are full of pride on the inside, it makes you stiff, stubborn, and creates strife with others.
You see, the Greenhouse Effect is a direct result of burning fossil or old carbon fuels.
Whatever you're going through in your life, don't ever give up.
You'll have time to rest when you're dead.
