Absurdity is what I like most in life and there's humor in struggling in ignorance. If you saw a man repeatedly running into a wall until he was a bloody pulp after a while it would make you laugh because it becomes absurd.

The satirist shoots to kill while the humorist brings his prey back alive and eventually releases him again for another chance.

I was sort of in denial about doing country for awhile but I sort of grew up and realized who I was what I wanted to say. I think country music is the best music in the world and I'm glad to be doing a country album. I hope people will love it as much as I loved making it.

I hope to stay on 'Glee ' I hope to still be a 'Housewife' and I hope to do 'The New Normal.' I just want to do it all! Why not? I'm only going to be young for a little while longer.

I'm thrilled to continue my partnership with U by Kotex for Generation Know while helping to empower girls. I've always been a motivational resource for my younger sisters and hope I can positively impact and inspire other young girls too.

Reconciliation should be accompanied by justice otherwise it will not last. While we all hope for peace it shouldn't be peace at any cost but peace based on principle on justice.

If you're lucky enough to be involved in a film that's about something very real and that you hope will continue to hold up in 20 years' time it just gives you more energy and makes it feel all the more worthwhile.

I love being able to sing for my job. I am blessed beyond words and I hope my fans can feel that while I'm on stage!

My hope is that 10 years from now after I've been across the street at work for a while they'll all be glad they gave me that wonderful vote.

It is the around-the-corner brand of hope that prompts people to action while the distant hope acts as an opiate.

The secret is not to give up hope. It's very hard not to because if you're really doing something worthwhile I think you will be pushed to the brink of hopelessness before you come through the other side.

Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope to love - and to put its trust in life.

While there's life there's hope.

I have tried to keep on with my striving because this is the only hope I have of ever achieving anything worthwhile and lasting.

While I enjoy spending time in L.A. Britain is my home.

Every song I put on a record could be a single and I just pack my bags for it... and the minute it takes off I'm not gonna be home for a while.

My biggest nightmare is I'm driving home and get sick and go to hospital. I say: 'Please help me.' And the people say: 'Hey you look like...' And I'm dying while they're wondering whether I'm Barbra Streisand.

The perfect date for me would be staying at home making a big picnic in bed eating Wotsits and cookies while watching cable TV.

The only way I'd be caught without makeup is if my radio fell in the bathtub while I was taking a bath and electrocuted me and I was in between makeup at home. I hope my husband would slap a little lipstick on me before he took me to the morgue.

I think a submarine is a very worthwhile weapon. I believe we can defend ourselves with submarines and all our troops back at home. This whole idea that we have to be in 130 countries and 900 bases... is an old-fashioned idea.

If my world were to cave in tomorrow I would look back on all the pleasures excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness not my miscarriages or my father leaving home but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough.

I'm lucky because I have a job I love. I really miss being away from home being in my own bed seeing my animals and siblings having my moms cookies. I have a couple cats. I got a kitten about a year ago and now Im going on the road so I wont see him for a while. I feel bad.

While history never repeats itself political patterns do.

Meditation while walking has a long noble history in ancient spiritual disciplines.
