No Arab ruler will consider the peace process seriously so long as he is able to toy with the idea of achieving more by the way of violence.

If there will be a serious Palestinian prime minister who makes a 100 percent effort to end terrorism then we can have peace. Each side has to take steps. If terror continues there will not be an independent Palestinian state. Israel will not accept it if terror continues.

In my mind the city of Ariel is a thorn in Israel's side and a serious obstacle to peace.

If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program.

A State in the grip of neo-colonialism is not master of its own destiny. It is this factor which makes neo-colonialism such a serious threat to world peace.

Each religion by the help of more or less myth which it takes more or less seriously proposes some method of fortifying the human soul and enabling it to make its peace with its destiny.

I seriously hate pop music and all things super-commercial.

I think people need to have fun with whatever they're doing - makeup their clothes music live shows - anything you don't need to take too seriously don't take too seriously.

Music is a beautiful opiate if you don't take it too seriously.

I love doing serious movies for adults.

Cronenberg's a lot of fun and that a lot of people don't know watching his movies. He doesn't take himself seriously. He's still reinventing himself.

It's so great in Hollywood now. You have people past 40 sitting and talking about serious stuff writing and making movies and TV but there's laser pistols and superheroes and alien monsters involved. It's viable and mainstream.

I went through this very serious Woody Allen phase in college and a little bit after college. I still see his movies.

If military movies were automatically successful we'd make nothing but military movies. But seriously patriotism is one thing that all Americans have in common.

Bond is the longest-running franchise ever and there's a reason for that: they are action movies but they are also touched by current events without being political or too serious.

So one way or another I found myself in a few movies. I take it seriously when I'm on the set but I don't take myself seriously as an actor.

I don't take the movies seriously and anyone who does is in for a headache.

On 'Morning Joe' I can say what I think be my sometimes unorthodox self have fun yet be serious as well.

I have a Viking stove. The color is butter lemon and I had to wait several months for it because that color wasn't available and I really wanted butter lemon! But I don't know that it's seriously ever been cooked on. I mean I make tea every morning. Does that count?

I'm very happy with the way I look. I wake up some morning catch myself in the bathroom mirror and go 'hey girl you're alright'. But on the other hand I find the website stuff and the polls something completely removed from my own personal life. You can't take anything like that too seriously otherwise you'd end up in the loony bin.

Kids are meant to believe that their stepping stone to massive money is 'The X Factor.' Luck is great but most of life is hard work. We do not celebrate people who have made success out of serious hard work.

And we've got to ask ourselves some very serious questions as to whether or not certain religious leaders in terms of raising money - I hate to bring this up - are pushing hot buttons.

I know that campaigns can seem small and even silly. Trivial things become big distractions. Serious issues become sound bites. And the truth gets buried under an avalanche of money and advertising. If you're sick of hearing me approve this message believe me - so am I.

My mom's collard greens. No one else in the world can make them like hers. I'm not just saying that because she's my mom. She's got some Mississippi secret. I could seriously eat them every day.
