I am a beneficiary of the American people's generosity and I hope we can have comprehensive immigration legislation that allows this country to continue to be enriched by those who were not born here.

I just hope that our fans are people who are inspired by music and just use our music as a background or inspiration for whatever it is they do.

When too many Americans don't vote or participate some see apathy and despair. I see disappointment and even outrage. And I believe that out of this frustration can come hope and action.

But inspiration? - That's when you come home from abroad and are asked: Well have you found inspiration? - and fortunately you haven't. But the impressions sink in of course and may emerge later: None of us has invented the house that was done many thousands of years ago.

We have three generations at home including my father-in-law. I keep a very low profile and a lot of things I do are very much with the family in mind. I have actually made films with the family around me.

Most of us in the baby-boom generation were raised by full-time mothers. Even as recently as 14 years ago 6 out of 10 mothers with babies were staying at home. Today that is totally reversed. Does that mean we love our children less than our mothers loved us? No but it certainly causes a lot of guilt trips.

The relevance for 9/11 is that what 9/11 marked was the beginning of a struggle in which the terrorists come at us and strike us here on our home territory. And it's a global operation. It doesn't know national boundaries or national borders.

Just as the police review their operational tactics so we in the Home Office will review the powers available to the police.

There is not a lot of separation between work and home life.

Illogical thinkers throw names and slurs around because they have no arguments with which to rebut their opponents. Rational people have to keep hammering their points home.

I think that the reason for my success is that I am really not aspirational. I am inspirational in that the people at home feel like they can really relate to me.

Home is a name a word it is a strong one stronger than magician ever spoke or spirit ever answered to in the strongest conjuration.

I love grocery shopping when I'm home. That's what makes me feel totally normal. I love both the idea of home as in being with my family and friends and also the idea of exploration. I think those two are probably my great interests.

You have to be there not for the fame and glory and recognition and being a page in a history book but you have to be there because you believe your talent and ability can be applied effectively to operation of the spacecraft.

I'm the fourth generation to be in show business. It's pretty neat it's nice to have that family history.

America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.

Everybody knows they're on the Obama team: There isn't vice presidential vs. presidential division there's not a generational pull. People have internalized that this is a real moment in history.

It is always self-defeating to pretend to a generation younger than your own it simply erases your own experience in history.

The Middle East has the highest unemployment percentage of any region in the world we have the largest youth cohort of history coming into the market place that frustration does translate into the political sphere when people are hungry and without jobs.

I had a go at changing history - maybe not all by myself - I fought at the battle of Normandy I slogged through the Ardennes and I celebrated the liberation of Paris on the streets with beautiful French girls throwing flowers at me. I said good-bye to my first true love and discovered what I really wanted to do with my life.

Throughout history no one has suffered more than God. He has suffered because his own children fell away from him. Ever since the Fall God has been working tirelessly for the restoration of mankind. People do not know this brokenhearted aspect of God.

World War II ended the Great Depression with one of the great public-private industrial collaborations in the history of man.

For at the same time many people seem eager to extend the circle of our moral consideration to animals in our factory farms and laboratories we are inflicting more suffering on more animals than at any time in history.

We can't understand when we're pregnant or when our siblings are expecting how profound it is to have a shared history with a younger generation: blood genes humor. It means we were actually here on Earth for a time - like the Egyptians with their pyramids only with children.
