I'm very old-fashioned in some ways because of my father who thought that being a public servant was an honor. Everyone must find a capacity in which they can serve because we all benefit from society.

I am sure it must be true that people opt out of the mainstream society because they feel that there are going to be no rewards for them if they stay.

Possibly because I grew up not feeling very confident about my own physical appearance I developed internal devices so that I could integrate into society.

We are now integrated into American society and I don't like the word fashionable because fashionable means that it's going to pass. It's not like that anymore.

I would argue that we have a generation of young people particularly minorities who are no longer putting up with the kinds of things their parents put up with. They're much more self-confident. It's no longer acceptable to make fun of people because of race or sex. But it has always been present in American society.

Who has suffered? The families of the dead no doubt. But a greater loss was inflicted on Pakistan because as I said we lost the pillars of our society.

The truth is I think we are a self-less society not a selfish society. Because we're so busy now.

It's not fair that women look in the mirror and feel disgust because of what society has made them believe.

People don't want other people to get high because if you get high you might see the falsity of the fabric of the society we live in.

Because we believe that our ethnic group our society our political party our God is better than your God we kill each other.

The trouble is it's very difficult to pin-point the most important thing because Aids affects everyone in different levels of society differently and you have to respond to it differently.

Intuition becomes increasingly valuable in the new information society precisely because there is so much data.

But if you say that we should not educate children who have come into our state for no other reason than they've been brought there by no fault of their own I don't think you have a heart. We need to be educating these children because they will become a drag on our society.

Tremendous amounts of talent are lost to our society just because that talent wears a skirt.

But we have created a society that does not allow opportunities for those people to take care of themselves because we have denied them those opportunities.

Am I a criminal? The world knows I'm not a criminal. What are they trying to put me in jail for? You've lost common sense in this society because of religious fanaticism and dogma.

In December I agreed to extend the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans because it was the only way I could prevent a tax hike on middle-class Americans. But we cannot afford $1 trillion worth of tax cuts for every millionaire and billionaire in our society. We can't afford it. And I refuse to renew them again.

Crimes against children are the most heinous crime. That for me would be a reason for capital punishment because children are innocent and need the guidance of an adult society.

I made a circle with a smile for a mouth on yellow paper because it was sunshiny and bright.

I enjoy what Twitter is because I can really connect with the fans and it's a great way to share information with them and it's also a great way to entertain. I like being able to put a smile on people's faces and letting them know what I'm doing.

In my whole career I've never seen this type of race that you had to wait for the last day. There's so many teams that are involved. You've got to smile because we're in it.

I love the live performances and Las Vegas. I also like making films that are being discovered by another generation. Having been a teen idol of the '60s is great because you realize you left your generation with a smile and good memories.

I've never wanted anybody to like me because I had long hair or short hair or that they liked the way I dressed or they liked the way I dressed or they liked the way I smile.

I don't really remember a time younger than 5 years old that I didn't have skates on because all I can remember is every day tying up my skates and a big smile on my face excited to go on the ice.
