The one thing I've learned is that stuttering in public is never as bad as I fear it will be.

Here's what the right-wing has in there's no shortage of the natural resources of ignorance apathy hate fear. As long as those things are in the collective conscious and unconscious the Republicans will have some votes.

The thing about Republicans is that they don't care so much about respect but they love fear at least in others.

I don't have any fear of intimacy but rather thrive on it which is rare in a public person.

Our government is founded upon the intelligence of the people. I for one do not despair of the republic. I have great confidence in the virtue of the great majority of the people and I cannot fear the result.

The public is not to see where power lies how it shapes policy and for what ends. Rather people are to hate and fear one another.

Those who have known the famous are publicly debriefed of their memories knowing as their own dusk falls that they will only be remembered for remembering someone else.

I'm just not a private person. It's not like I do things because I want things to be public it's just that's my way of expressing myself and I happen to be very famous.

I've learned to stay away from publicity addicts people who want to be famous for no reason.

And I want to be able to - you know make Republicans and Democrats famous for keeping jobs in California.

Who elected Larry King America's grief counselor? We the viewing public did by driving up his ratings whenever somebody famous passes.

I don't mean being famous is a perk because one knows that it's not necessarily a perk but there are certain perks to being well-known and respected in one's field. Public perks. Like I don't know general friendliness and willingness to please just to point out two.

I have a profound empathy for people who are in the public eye whether they manifest it themselves or whether it happened by accident - it doesn't matter to me. I think there's a great misunderstanding of what it is to be famous.

Public misbehavior by the famous is a powerful teaching tool.

I'm not comfortable being around too many people. I don't like being out in public too much. I don't like going to bars. I don't like doing celebrity stuff. So most of the characters I play are people who don't always feel comfortable beyond their small circle of friends.

I'm just a public-schoolboy. I've got a degree. I'm from a middle-class family in Devon. I've got no story.

I'm a Republican. I don't want to go to heaven and have to face my family up there and tell them I voted for a Democrat.

My family although they're very large on both my parents' sides they don't know much about their family tree. Occasionally they try to dig but they can't get very far and it's baffling. In Dublin it seems that so many public records were wiped out it's proven to be very difficult so I know very little.

I have acted in a way that violates my obligations to my family and violates my or any sense of right and wrong. I apologize first and most importantly to my family. I apologize to the public whom I promised better.

Well I have a CBE and I accepted it with glee because it's not bestowed on you by the royal family it's not bestowed on you by the government you have to be nominated by the public.

I for one am quite willing to join the 'forgive forget and move on' crowd but it does make me wonder if Evangelicals are going to sound believable when they say that they tend to vote Republican because of their religious commitments to the family.

Most Evangelicals claim to be politically non-partisan and say they only identify with the Republican Party because the Republicans are committed to 'family values.'

We have a president who stole the presidency through family ties arrogance and intimidation employing Republican operatives to exercise the tactics of voter fraud by disenfranchising thousands of blacks elderly Jews and other minorities.

If you don't have public hangings for bad culture in a company if you don't take people out and let them say they went home to spend more time with the family. It's crazy.
