I present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship I wish to achieve with you.

It does not seem to me that the steps which would be needed to make Britain - and others - more comfortable in their relationship in the European Union are inherently so outlandish or unreasonable.

A relationship is lovely if you're happy comfortable in it and you really like the person. I can think of nothing better. But there's nothing worse than having a relationship in which you feel no interest.

I don't feel particularly comfortable about actors using whatever power they may have to push their beliefs unless they're extremely well informed.

This House cannot function without an open accountable and independent ethics process and the molestation of that process by the majority is an abuse of power that cannot stand.

I repeat... that all power is a trust that we are accountable for its exercise that from the people and for the people all springs and all must exist.

I want to be a positive role-model for my daughter. The last thing I want to put out there is that it's acceptable to be too thin or have an eating disorder because you're in Hollywood.

Foods high in bad fats sugar and chemicals are directly linked to many negative emotions whereas whole natural foods rich in nutrients - foods such as fruits vegetables grains and legumes - contribute to greater energy and positive emotions.

Your smile will give you a positive countenance that will make people feel comfortable around you.

On the show we are not trying to get people to eat their vegetables we are not trying to get people to become Democrats. We are basically trying to encourage people to get involved with public life so that politics isn't left to the wealthy and privileged.

Politics is much too serious to be taken too seriously equally there are many aspects of it so laughable as to be lamentable.

It's like being at the kids' table at Thanksgiving - you can put your elbows on it you don't have to talk politics... no matter how old I get there's always a part of me that's sitting there.

When they see me holding fish they can see that I am comfortable with kings as well as with paupers.

If we desire respect for the law we must first make the law respectable.

For while the subjects of poetry are few and recurrent the moods of man are infinitely various and unstable. It is the same in all arts.

I was always interested in French poetry sort of as a sideline to my own work I was translating contemporary French poets. That kind of spilled out into translation as a way to earn money pay for food and put bread on the table.

An experienced reader uses the poem as an agent of inquiry. This makes poetry very exciting unstable and interactive.

To increase the zone of peace is to build the inner core of a stable international zone.

It would behoove the world to become used to this fact: that without a just solution to the Palestine tragedy there can be no stable peace in the Middle East.

Peace in Palestine is inevitable. The question is how do we make it happen today.

When resources are degraded we start competing for them whether it is at the local level in Kenya where we had tribal clashes over land and water or at the global level where we are fighting over water oil and minerals. So one way to promote peace is to promote sustainable management and equitable distribution of resources.

The Disarmament Conference has become the focal point of a great struggle between anarchy and world order... between those who think in terms of inevitable armed conflict and those who seek to build a universal and durable peace.

I have traveled a long road from the battlefield to the peace table.

Why are we talking about talking? Why negotiating about negotiating? It's very simple. If you want to get to peace put all your preconditions on the side sit down opposite a table not in a studio by the way.
