Anyone who knows history particularly the history of Europe will I think recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people.

My dreams for the future are simple: work a happy healthy family a lovely long motorcycle ride and continuing the struggle to awaken people to the need for serious human rights reform.

I'm following my dreams and doing what I love as a designer. I did not want to be one of those kids with a famous last name that doesn't do anything. That is very unfulfilling to me and I'm very happy.

Most of my actor friends don't believe it's possible to let go of it and be happy and for a while that was true for me. For the first two years I ached every day. And I had such bad dreams. But then I made the decision to start working on my little shop and all that went away.

Today I'm very happy about myself because I realized my dreams. I learned how to understand what people want.

It's my firm intention to whop cancer into submission and I truly believe I've given myself the best start possible by radically overhauling my diet and by staying true to my motto which is: Don't worry be happy feel good. The first thing I did when I was diagnosed was to turn vegan.

I'm a wonderful disaster. So are you. We're all a mess. We're in this culture that says take this pill and you'll be happy go on this diet and you'll be thinner have your teeth whitened people will love you more.

It's never been an issue for me - I don't want to go on a diet I don't want to eat a Caesar salad with no dressing why would I do that? I ain't got time for this just be happy and don't be stupid. If I've got a boyfriend and he loves my body then I'm not worried.

I am now in that happy comfortable state that I do not hesitate to indulge in any fancy in regard to diet but watch the consequences and do not continue any course which adds to weight or bulk and consequent discomfort.

By the fourth grade I graduated to an erector set and spent many happy hours constructing devices of unknown purpose where the main design criterion was to maximize the number of moving parts and overall size.

That's a hobby of mine - to do whatever I can for unusual for-hire creative projects. I am waiting for someone to really challenge me - obviously I'm often approached to do film related work but I would be very happy to design a bar or an amusement park ride. I would love to be an imagineer!

There are two kinds of designers: ones who are very happy locked in their office surrounded by their coterie. The last thing they need to do is to go to a trunk show they'd go running for the hills. I not only enjoy it I think how do you design things that are applicable to life - unless you live it?

For me I am still very happy to be able to do stage design as it's an opportunity to express the extreme.

So here is one of my theories on happiness: we cannot know if we have lived a truly happy life until the very end. This view of life and death was reinforced by my close witnessing of the buildup to the death of Philip Gould. Philip was without doubt my closest friend in politics. When he died I felt like I had lost a limb.

People need jobs people need happy and successful lives there should be marriage between one man and one woman there should the value of person from conception until natural death.

The Greeks said grandly in their tragic phrase 'Let no one be called happy till his death' to which I would add 'Let no one till his death be called unhappy.'

As a well spent day brings happy sleep so life well used brings happy death.

As men are not able to fight against death misery ignorance they have taken it into their heads in order to be happy not to think of them at all.

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep so a life well spent brings happy death.

There is no lonelier man in death except the suicide than that man who has lived many years with a good wife and then outlived her. If two people love each other there can be no happy end to it.

It was a time when only the dead smiled happy in their peace.

Call no man happy till he is dead.

Coming through the fire and through the storm of life with a strong man my fiance Ashanti whom I've been dating for eight months and two wonderful children beside me I'm just so happy that I have been able to maintain my integrity and get to where I am today with the right energy around me.

I think if I could have a boyfriend like my brothers I'd be really happy. But without the brother thing.
