We may think there is willpower involved but more likely... change is due to want power. Wanting the new addiction more than the old one. Wanting the new me in preference to the person I am now.

When characters change on screen it makes you feel better about yourself. You think 'Oh I change too I'm constantly becoming a better person.'

We may need to change the way we think. As in Israel I think there should be a mandatory draft where you go away for the service of your country for three years.

I always try to keep the circumstances in my life fresh. I like to change the physical environment I live in change the people around me and try to experience things for the first time. I think that keeps one on their toes creatively and spiritually.

I think your alcohol intake has to change. You know usually a big person feels they can drink anything they want to and as much as they want to and I've cut that way back.

I think if there's any difference between me and a traditional CEO it's that I've been unwilling to change myself or shape my personality around what's expected.

I don't think anything changes until ideas change. The usual American viewpoint is to believe that something is wrong with the person.

I don't think we're yet evolved to the point where we're clever enough to handle a complex a situation as climate change. The inertia of humans is so huge that you can't really do anything meaningful.

I don't think the Palestinian people or Afghan children or some other things I'm concerned about are at the top of other people's agendas - not right now when America is going through such a recession and people are suffering across the board financially. But I think all that will change.

Maybe more climate activists will think about the climate change not as an international problem to be resolved in an air-conditioned meeting hall but as a guerilla war to be fought in the streets.

I don't allow anybody to change me. I still walk outta my house in rollers and I take walks. I do not care what people think.

People can undergo a sudden change of thinking and loyalties under threat of death or intense social pressure and isolation from friends and family.

My point is that perceptual bias can affect nut jobs and scientists alike. If we hold too rigidly to what we think we know we ignore or avoid evidence of anything that might change our mind.

The question I've come to think is not what inspires one to change but what inspires one to remain changed.

Celebrity culture has gone crazy and I think the reason is that real news is just not bearable and it also seems impossible to change anything.

I think if there's something one needs to change with oneself it doesn't have to happen in the New Year. You can do that any time you please - not that it's not a good inspirational tactic for the people that it works for.

I think it's harder for people than it should be. But as more and more of us become carbon neutral and change the patterns in our lives to be part of the solution instead of part of the problem we are now beginning to see the changes in policy that are needed.

Sometimes you could be in an unhappy relationship you are very much in love with someone but it's making you unhappy and you think things can change and you can work it out.

Washington is still very much a male-oriented culture. Being from Los Angeles I think it is less so there - there is less attachment to tradition perhaps there is more flexibility more acceptance of change generally. That is partly because of Hollywood.

I think the way to change it is to handle issues individually when it's essential to do so.
