I'm very at ease and I like it. I never thought I would be such a family-oriented guy I didn't think that was part of my makeup. But somebody said that as you get older you become the person you always should have been and I feel that's happening to me. I'm rather surprised at who I am because I'm actually like my dad!

My dad loves what I do and I support my parents financially because they didn't have a job that gave them a pension.

My dad raised me with some good advice: 'Always tell the truth. Always shoot from the hip. You might not have many friends but you'll never have enemies because people will always know where you're coming from.'

Anyone can be a father but it takes someone special to be a dad and that's why I call you dad because you are so special to me. You taught me the game and you taught me how to play it right.

I've told Billy if I ever caught him cheating I wouldn't kill him because I love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are.

My dad always said 'Don't worry what people think because you can't change it.'

So my father was a person who never lied to me. If I had a question he answered it. I knew a lot of things at a young age because I was intrigued.

Because of my father we are that Shining City on a Hill.

I know that I will never find my father in any other man who comes into my life because it is a void in my life that can only be filled by him.

I emphasize... that the Harrimans showed great courage and loyalty and confidence in us because three or four of us were really running the business the day to day business.

I've decided to run for the U.S. Senate because I believe Wisconsin families need a senator who will work hard to deliver results for the middle class - a leader with the courage to do what's right no matter how tough the odds or how powerful the special interests we have to fight.

I'm not a fighter but I would love to be a boxer because I love the courage and toughness. I mean there can be nothing more terrifying than walking into an arena and looking at Mike Tyson in the ring.

In this work I have received the opposition of a number of men who only advocate the unobtainable because the immediately possible is beyond their moral courage administrative ability and their political prescience.

Let me start with Yahoo. As we meet today a Chinese citizen who had the courage to speak his mind on the Internet is in prison because Yahoo chose to share his name and address with the Chinese Government.

I think what I would say to my younger self and probably to younger just starting-out writers is that a lot of times you're just afraid to put yourself out there and it's uncomfortable because it's working up the courage to do something to push yourself to do those things.

Because at bottom I'm interested in fear and in courage and cowardice and these are easier to get at through fiction where you can enter people's heads.

Most of the good executives do pretty well. Because to be a good executive you have to be strong and you have to have a simple attribute that people have forgotten about - courage.

When somebody who makes movies for a living - either as an actor writer producer or director - lives to be a certain age you have to admire them.

President Obama and our all-of-the-above energy strategy is the real deal. We are proud of the fact that we are importing less oil than at any time in modern history and it has been because of the president's vision and courage.

I find fault with my children because I like them and I want them to go places - uprightness and strength and courage and civil respect and anything that affects the probabilities of failure on the part of those that are closest to me that concerns me - I find fault.
