I wanted to use sports for social change.

RFK was a compelling figure because he was willing to challenge his audiences and in turn connect with them in a unique way. Kennedy showed that our values define us and can inspire others to believe in the possibility of change and a better society.

I've always thought of acting as a tool to change society. I watch a lot of actors and I see panic in their eyes because they don't know why they act and I know why I act. Whether I'm a good or a bad actor I know why I do it.

The repossession by women of our bodies will bring far more essential change to human society than the seizing of the means of production by workers.

An innovation is one of those things that society looks at and says if we make this part of the way we live and work it will change the way we live and work.

I want to initiate a change in society in the long term.

What does Burma have to give the United States? We can give you the opportunity to engage with people who are ready and willing to change a society.

Society has to change but the political powers we have at the moment are not enough to effect this change. The whole democratic system would have to be rethought.

We are not just here to manage capitalism but to change society and to define its finer values.

A society that has made 'nostalgia' a marketable commodity on the cultural exchange quickly repudiates the suggestion that life in the past was in any important way better than life today.

Therefore a person should first be changed by a teacher's instructions and guided by principles of ritual. Only then can he observe the rules of courtesy and humility obey the conventions and rules of society and achieve order.

I can't say that I've changed anybody's life ever and that's the real work of the world if you want a better society.

As in geology so in social institutions we may discover the causes of all past changes in the present invariable order of society.

Today the world changes so quickly that in growing up we take leave not just of youth but of the world we were young in.

So my style has hopefully changed over the years and it is more relaxed and I do tend to smile and have more than one expression these days hopefully - which I didn't at the beginning.

Change is the principal feature of our age and literature should explore how people deal with it. The best science fiction does that head-on.

I sort of feel that climate change will be solved by science. I just feel instinctively that we will find a way of saving ourselves. But I am less confident that we won't destroy ourselves in other ways.

I think a lot of people are frightened of technology and frightened of change and the way to deal with something you're frightened of is to make fun of it. That's why science fiction fans are dismissed as geeks and nerds.

The East Germans first used biomechanics. This meant that rather than guessing about technique and form they could apply changes to athletic performance based on science.

If Margaret Thatcher took climate change seriously and believed that we should take action to reduce global greenhouse emissions then taking action and supporting and accepting the science can hardly be the mark of incipient Bolshevism.

The world has changed - through technology through wine-making techniques the quality of wine is greater than it's ever been. Whereas ten fifteen years ago it was very easy to find lots of bad wine it's kind of hard now. The technology the science - it's like are you kidding? We're in the golden years of wine!

You know they just don't make big movie stars the way they used to maybe because the system has changed the studio system but it's sad to see people like Jimmy Stewart go all the giants of the past.

What makes me sad about school is that the people who are unhappy are unhappy because they don't believe it will change. And I just want to say: 'It does! High school ends and it's over.' I will tell anyone that it's OK to be unhappy at school make lots of mistakes and then it will be over.

All he cares about is going out there with his Jack Daniels bottle. Nothing has changed. That's kind of sad. If David was doing better than he used to be then that would be different. But it was a joke and he made it that way.
