Fear of something is at the root of hate for others and hate within will eventually destroy the hater.

Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

I went through a period of great rebellion within my family when I was about 9 or 10. I was mad I had no focus had no real interest in anything and so I started to do things that were just rebellious and stupid.

What I want to do is tell stories about normal people in the American suburbs. I don't write the book where it's a conspiracy reaching the prime minister I don't write the book with the big serial killer who lops off heads. My setting is a very placid pool of suburbia family life. And within that I can make pretty big splashes.

The first responsibility of the Muslim is as teacher. That is his job to teach. His first school his first classroom is within the household. His first student is himself. He masters himself and then he begins to convey the knowledge that he has acquired to the family. The people who are closest to him.

Faith is a knowledge within the heart beyond the reach of proof.

Within the U.S. the Obama presidency will be mainly measured by the success or failure of his economic policies. And here I fear the monstrous stimulus package with which this administration stumbled out of the gate will prove to be Obama's Waterloo.

There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.

As an actress it's part of your job to be able to imagine just about anything - even if it's not within your personal experience.

If we didn't want to upset anyone we would make films about sewing but even that could be dangerous. But I think finally in a film it is how the balance is and the feelings are. But I think there has to be those contrasts and strong things within a film for the total experience.

There should be a sympathy with freedom a desire to give it scope founded not upon visionary ideas but upon the long experience of many generations within the shores of this happy isle that in freedom you lay the firmest foundations both of loyalty and order.
