It's interesting that I had such a close relationship with my grandfather. Because your parents always judge you: they say 'You shouldn't do this you shouldn't do that.' But with your grandparents you have a feeling that you can say anything or you can do anything and they will support you. That's why you have this kind of connection.

The way I become friends with somebody is a slow process. You can't just spill your guts and tell them everything about yourself and expect them to listen and understand you because you don't know them. It's the same thing with a relationship.

You don't repair that relationship by sitting down and talking about trust or making promises. Actually what rebuilds it is living it and doing things differently - and I think that is what is going to make the difference.

I think in a way you're doomed once you can envision something. You're sort of doomed to make it happen. I've found that the moment I can envision leaving a relationship that's usually the moment that the relationship starts to fall apart.

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.

So then the relationship of self to other is the complete realization that loving yourself is impossible without loving everything defined as other than yourself.

I was in a relationship with a girl I loved for three years. Where do you go after three years? Then you've got to start thinking about other things and I'm too young to think about those things.

One thing you can say about nuclear power: the people who believe it is the silver bullet for America's energy problems never give up.

We say no to lots of things that would please us. I would like to punch people every now and then but I don't. I would like to have something for free rather than pay for it. I would like to skip to the front of the line... I don't mean to brush aside the taste of meat which is a powerful attraction. But its power is not without limit.

When it comes to energy cost isn't everything - but it's a lot. Everybody wants cheap power.

I like doing things where I can get dirty work with my hands and use power tools. Last weekend I did some grouting.

We need to understand that we are not each others' enemies in this country. And it is only the political class that derives its power by creating friction. It is only the media that derives its importance by creating friction... that uses every little thing to create this chasm between people. This is not who we are.

I always tell my kids that as soon as you have a secret something about you that you are ashamed to have others find out you have given other people the power to hurt you by exposing you.

I have two daughters and I have done everything in my power to prevent them from assimilating even being aware of my idiocy about my weight.

Before I was really passive all I cared about was being in love with my boyfriend. I didn't have any creative power nothing. I don't know that person any more.

What one writer can make in the solitude of one room is something no power can easily destroy.

I don't know what I would have done without believing in God. His support gives me power and energy to continue to be optimistic to smile not to be depressed. Sometimes if things are not going so well I don't cry. I say maybe it's meant to be.

Something I learned very early on in my career is that there are a lot of things that you do not have any power over.

No horse gets anywhere until he is harnessed. No stream or gas drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows great until it is focused dedicated disciplined.

O! what a Godlike Power is that of doing Good! I envy the Rich and the Great for nothing else!

Unless we do things in this country to slow down our population slow down our birth control provide better water for people provide power for people we're gonna find out that the next wars are not going to be fought over diamonds gold and political things.

I think actors are getting so much more power these days but I'm not. I stay very much away from the decisions the way in which things are orchestrated what's been changed. I just try to stay completely in the role as the actor and as the character.

Plant the seed of desire in your mind and it forms a nucleus with power to attract to itself everything needed for its fulfillment.

Power is the ability to get things done.
