Just think of what Woodrow Wilson stood for: he stood for world government. He wanted an early United Nations League of Nations. But it was the conservatives Republicans that stood up against him.

I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of their way and let them have it.

The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest insane intolerable.

The way people in democracies think of the government as something different from themselves is a real handicap. And of course sometimes the government confirms their opinion.

Let the people think they govern and they will be governed.

Do not think of your faults still less of other's faults look for what is good and strong and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off like dead leaves when their time comes.

I think every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass.

Now I need to take a piece of wood and make it sound like the railroad track but I also had to make it beautiful and lovable so that a person playing it would think of it in terms of his mistress a bartender his wife a good psychiatrist - whatever.

I believe that love and laughter can only happen when one person takes the time to think about what would cause the other person to feel good.

Being a good teammate is when you try to sprint down a ball that everyone thinks is going out of bounds. But you go after it anyways and you get it.

I'm leaving the screen because I don't think I am very good in the pictures and I have this beautiful dream that I'm elegant on the stage.

I think sportsmanship is knowing that it is a game that we are only as a good as our opponents and whether you win or lose to always give 100 percent.

I learnt a whole lot from my mother. About music relationships being a good person loving people the whole of life. I learnt about everything from her. Every single day I think about her. All through the day.

Marriage is a very good thing but I think it's a mistake to make a habit out of it.

But I can say that life is good to me. Has been and is good. So I think my task is to be good to it. So how do you be good to life? You live it.

A play should give you something to think about. When I see a play and understand it the first time then I know it can't be much good.

I've turned down jobs because I've said 'Honestly I can't find my way in. I can't do it. I love you as a director. I think the script is good. You deserve better than I think I can do.'

What does kissing really mean to me? To me if you feel when you kiss a girl that certain feeling of all those dolphins like swimming through your blood stream and you get those good tingles inside your stomach I don't think there's any better feeling.

I'm kind of a good girl - and I'm not. I'm a good girl because I really believe in love integrity and respect. I'm a bad girl because I like to tease. I know that I have sex appeal in my deck of cards. But I like to get people thinking. That's what the stories in my music do.

I don't look to a man to get pride in myself. It's not about having a black president it's about having a good president and I think that's the most important thing.

I don't believe that old cliche that good things come to those who wait. I think good things come to those who want something so bad they can't sit still.

Life takes its path and sometimes there are people to blame. Of course there are bad people in this world. Good bad it happens unfortunately. But in a way I think if there was more focus on the good more good would happen.

It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes it was 29 years.

You know when you really connect with the instrument and everything just comes out on an emotional level very naturally through your playing. That's you know a great night. And I think the reason I love touring so much is you're chasing that high around all the time trying to have another good night.
