So I go to my first book signing and these two girls came up and gave me a piece of paper: '10 reasons you should date our dad. He climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. He's a lawyer.' He didn't know what was going on. He didn't even know me. They called him and he came down and asked me out that day. Now I'm dating their dad!

If anybody had a reason to become a delinquent to become a criminal to be angry at the man to be angry at the white man to be angry at America it's my dad but he did not feel that way at all.

My dad dragged me to a Bruce Springsteen concert as a kid. It was my first concert but I fell asleep in the middle. My second concert was Weezer on the 'Pinkerton' tour and 'Pinkerton' is the reason why I'm doing this.

When I moved out of London 13 years ago I found a whole other reason not to drive. This was because my new husband Dan unlike my dad did drive and this became a great source of fun and adventure.

What I do now is all my dad's fault because he bought me a guitar as a boy for no apparent reason.

True courage is a result of reasoning. A brave mind is always impregnable.

The only reason I'm in Hollywood is that I don't have the moral courage to refuse the money.

We are biological creatures. We are born we live we die. There is no transcendent purpose to existence. At best we are creatures of reason and by using reason we can cure ourselves of emotional excess. Purged of both hope and fear we find courage in the face of helplessness insignificance and uncertainty.

True courage is not the brutal force of vulgar heroes but the firm resolve of virtue and reason.

I was a dancer and it's not really cool for a boy to dance so it was inspiring to see a movie like 'Footloose' where a guy is dancing masculine and had a proper reason behind it. It made me feel cool and when these kids would make fun of me I'd be like 'Oh didn't you see 'Footloose ' man?'

I was a drama major also so it's cool to cuss for meaning but for no apparent reason no.

I think I'm so old I'm in. We call it the 'Tony Bennett Syndrome.' For some reason young people think I'm cool.

I'm cute - and God I hate that. Because that's not cool. I'm like your niece and nobody wants to date their niece. It's the chubby cheeks. The whole reason people voted for me on American Idol is because I'm an everyday normal girl.

Interactive computers and software will I think provide a less costly method of doing some kinds of inquiry in knowledge acquisition and even reasoning and interaction.

There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home.

It frequently happens that two persons reasoning right on a mechanical subject think alike and invent the same thing without any communication with each other.

I've worked very hard in this book to keep the lines of communication open. I don't want to turn someone away from this information for partisan political reasons.

There must be a reason why photographers are not very good at verbal communication. I think we get lazy.

The first reason for the preponderant influence of those Evangelicals who define themselves as advocates of Religious Right theological and political ideologies is that they have both the financial means and technological know-how to make widespread use of modern electronic forms of communication.

We have no reason to think that climate change is harmful if you look at the world as a whole. Most places in fact are better off being warmer than being colder. And historically the really bad times for the environment and for people have been the cold periods rather than the warm periods.

As somebody who in my second marriage insisted on a prenuptial agreement I can also testify that sometimes it is an act of love to chart the exit strategy before you enter the union in order to make sure that not only you but your partner as well knows that there will be no World War III should hearts and minds for any sad reason change.

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.

One reason we resist making deliberate choices is that choice equals change and most of us feeling the world is unpredictable enough try to minimise the trauma of change in our personal lives.

If there's specific resistance to women making movies I just choose to ignore that as an obstacle for two reasons: I can't change my gender and I refuse to stop making movies.
