I'm not into politics but I am committed to a cause: ensuring design technology and engineering stays on the U.K. curriculum alongside science and maths - grounding abstract theory merging the practical with the academic.

Delay always breeds danger and to protract a great design is often to ruin it.

When the courts decide that murderers rapists and others who maliciously break our social contract deserve health care that most working Americans can't afford they are condemning good people to death.

I think that obviously there is a perverse attraction to a fundamentally changed world or the end of the world. There is a death wish a perverse death wish. Not just for ourselves not just for the movie 'Death Wish ' but for the end of all human life.

Celebrities say they date other celebrities because they have the same job. But I think they just like dating famous people. Celebrities attract each other like cattle.

I had to find a diet that would kick me back into dating shape because I know that I can't date at size 8. I have to date at size 2. And it's just a fact of nature. Go get your injections and your chemical peels. You gotta look good to attract a man.

I like the bad-boy types. Generally the guy I'm attracted to is the guy in the club with all the tattoos and nail polish. He's usually the lead singer in a punk band and plays guitar. But my serious boyfriends are relatively clean-cut nice guys. So it's strange.

My grandmother was an actress too. In the thirties and forties she was under contract with Universal Studios. Crazy credits lots of them. My dad was also under contract with Universal Studios. And my first film was shot on the same stage they both worked on at Universal.

My dad had a personal style which was very attractive. It was quite reserved and quite elegant and it was infectious.

Music was always the distraction so it was the obvious choice to pursue. My dad always said to find a job I love to do that way it wouldn't feel like a job. So I did that.

Courage and willingness to just go for it whether it is a conversation or a spontaneous trip or trying new things that are scary - it is a really attractive quality.

And I love that even in the toughest moments when we're all sweating it - when we're worried that the bill won't pass and it seems like all is lost - Barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the noise. Just like his grandmother he just keeps getting up and moving forward... with patience and wisdom and courage and grace.

If you're a kid who's not necessarily attractive and you don't have money and you're not hip and cool chances are you're not going to feel good about yourself and want to be an actor.

The promos with all of the beautiful women probably attracted some men but the mystery story line is pretty cool. It's got that dark edge and people will watch anything funny.

I don't think generally speaking people become writers because they were the really good really cool attractive kid in class. I'll be honest. This is our revenge for people who were much better looking and more popular than us. I was a bit like that I suppose.

I'm comfortable only when there's a mutual attraction. That's what anyone wants. If I find out she's not attracted to me it brings down my level of attraction to her. If I'm interested and find out she's not I tend to cool off.

I haven't ever really relied on relationships with guys. They come around and it's cool but it's never been a big thing. I guess I've just been really distracted by work.

Being cool having a 'cool' energy is just not attractive to me.

The second I met Zac I thought he was a really cool guy. It's hard not to have chemistry with someone who is so attractive.

If a guy is skilled at anything that's attractive. There's something very primal about that and sure it can be as simple as figuring out the tip quickly. It's really cool when a guy tips 20 percent quickly and effortlessly so that when the check comes he opens it and signs his name and done.

Our economic system run for profit and waste and based primarily on the extractive industries is the cause of climate change. We have wasted the earth's treasure and we can no longer exploit it cheaply.

I get satisfaction out of seeing stuff that makes real change in the real world. We need a lot more of that and a lot less abstract stuff.

Change means movement. Movement means friction. Only in the frictionless vacuum of a nonexistent abstract world can movement or change occur without that abrasive friction of conflict.

If your goal is to be the biggest movie star in the world a 10-movie contract is gold. It was never my goal. Up until now I made movies - and I have a nice house a nice car. I'm fortunate happy and grateful. Life is good.
