Would it be better if I'd married a Negro woman? Would they treat my child any better? Erect fewer barriers?
I would love to option 'Crying of Lot 49' and turn it into a movie.
She is such a good friend that she would throw all her acquaintances into the water for the pleasure of fishing them out again.
I wrote for years before I was ever published, and I don't think I could ever stop. That said, I was also a veterinarian before I sold my first book, and I still volunteer my time to help with animal welfare causes. So that is a career I would be happy to return to - while still secretly writing strange stories back in my doctor's office.
I think that in Mexico, we must change some practices that were built during the 72 years of predominance in Mexico. Former presidents would just hide away, run away or disappear. And I think it's key in a democracy that presidents face people, see eye to eye to citizens and work to keep on contributing to the - to Mexico.
If it were not for the fact that editors have become so timorous in these politically correct times, I would probably have a greater readership than I have.
I would have ten children. I think they are the most fascinating, and it's the only thing in the world that hasn't been overrated.
Just like how male actors get to play varied characters, I would also like to play characters that people don't normally see female characters portraying on screen.
If all human lives depended upon their usefulness - as might be judged by certain standards - there would be a sudden and terrific mortality in the world.
I would be open to a proposal that would have some minimum tax level for everyone.
I would say history is a clear witness to many of the problems that have erupted when two partners from the same industry or same country have come together.
When you have a regime that would be happier in the afterlife than in this life, this is not a regime that is subject to classic theories of deterrence.
I would go on the record with my respect for Mike Madigan, which will probably upset a lot of friends. He's enormously skillful at what he does. The only speakers of any House who survive are the ones who can keep their majority and keep everyone going largely in the same direction. Mike Madigan is superb at that.
And they said if we help with the crisis, they would do a lot of positive acts. After we helped in those crises, they showed negative acts and the Japanese and Turks were ashamed.
I'm sure that had I not been a coach, I would have been some form of a teacher.
Jim Thorpe is someone I've always loved. He was an Olympic athlete, you know, and a football player from back in the day. I'd love to play him. And then there's a guy called Iceman who was a top hit man for the mob. I would love to play him. Actually, it's sort of in the works, so I hope it goes through.
In high school, I would classify myself as a theatre nerd. Always studying, reading and attending plays!
If I tried to flirt with a woman and she didn't know who I was, she would run away.
If it were up to me, every job would be somewhere in Canada.
Without knowing about flexibility, one cannot work out strategies to deal with the enemy and prepare for changes, and without knowing about the foundation of one's own culture, one would be contemptuous of the Confucian ethical codes.
You would be better off in exile than priding yourself on be like everyone else.
Hardly had I left when we ran into the Korean war, doubled what I had asked for and doubled it again. I had told him I would stay in Government, be honored to, but not with the Air Force.
If you would have me weep, you must first of all feel grief yourself.
I love music, so if I wasn't singing, I would probably still be working in the music industry. I love songwriting, so I'd probably be a songwriter.
Now here I am playing a passionate young Irishman who would die for what he believes in.
When I had money in the past, I would always travel rather than spend it on big apartments or cars. And I still feel exactly the same way.
If I would have won that Olympic gold medal, I would have gotten a job somewhere coaching at a university, and I would be totally content with my life.
If we just made one movie, 'The Hobbit,' the fact is that all the fans, the eight-, nine- and 10-year-old boys, they would watch it 1,000 times. Now, they've got three films they can watch 1,000 times.
But, I would be naive not to recognize the number of musicians who tell me they have been influenced by me and sight me - as well as Alex and Neil - as a musician who has been a positive influence on their playing.
Being an actress is a very physical thing. If I didn't look the way I looked, I would never have started in films.
I guess whatever maturity is there may be there because I've been keeping a journal forever. In high school my friends would make fun of me - you're doing your man diary again. So I was always trying to translate experience into words.
I don't ever approach anything from the issue first, so I can't tell you that I've thought about tackling universal health care. I'd have to have some great story I'd want to tell, and then universal health care would become part of the way to tell that story.
I feel strongly that the state would not be well-served by having a governor and speaker of the House from the same family and have never planned to run for governor if that would be the case. With Speaker Madigan planning to continue in office, I will not run for governor.
I would like to say that no man ever was given finer cooperation than that given me by President Truman.
I basically did comedy there for about a year, and then moved to New York. If I had it to do over again, I would have booked myself on the road for at least a year.
The legal right of a taxpayer to decrease the amount of what otherwise would be his taxes, or altogether avoid them, by means which the law permits, cannot be doubted.
