I think my generation it's hard to have hope when you got a $700-trillion derivatives debt to pay and a bubble about to explode and $500 trillion worth of GDP.

About the most originality that any writer can hope to achieve honestly is to steal with good judgment.

I know the world is filled with troubles and many injustices. But reality is as beautiful as it is ugly. I think it is just as important to sing about beautiful mornings as it is to talk about slums. I just couldn't write anything without hope in it.

I hope that what you take away from my album is not just the music - which I did want to be fun and I did want it to be about individuality but please also take away from it that there's no dream that's too big.

The only hope of socialism resides in those who have already brought about in themselves as far as is possible in the society of today that union between manual and intellectual labor which characterizes the society we are aiming at.

If you keep thinking about what you want to do or what you hope will happen you don't do it and it won't happen.

At the end of the day all you can hope for is to go on. The older I get the more I realize that just keeping on keeping on is what life's all about.

Litigant. A person about to give up his skin for the hope of retaining his bones.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up to give them the tools at their disposable that make it possible for them to access all the hope all the promise all the opportunity that America offers. And our programs to help them should reflect that.

I don't know what can be so dangerous about giving people hope.

If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options medically and emotionally: give up or Fight Like Hell.

I think that when you get dressed in the morning sometimes you're really making a decision about your behavior for the day. Like if you put on flipflops you're saying: 'Hope I don't get chased today.' 'Be nice to people in sneakers.'

In the end that's what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope?

We talk a lot in our home together about where we're going what I'm doing.

I'm a better person in a relationship and I'm a happier person. I need to come home at the end of the day and have it not be about me and my freaking hair and makeup and character motivations anymore. And I think my work is more inspired when home is safe and sound and solid because what I do for a living is so bananas and so insecure.

I fantasize about having a manual job where I can come home at night read a book and not feel responsible for what will happen the next day.

It's not about finding a home so much as finding yourself.

About 15 years ago I went though a period of a year or so when I just couldn't find anything good. My wife noticed I was having trouble reading menus. I bought some cheap reading glasses in a drug store. I got home and suddenly all these books that weren't good were good.

Survival requires us to leave our prejudices at home. It's about doing whatever it takes - and ultimately those with the biggest heart will win.

I exercise about 40 minutes a day and I'll run one day and do circuit training the next day. I live in an area where there are brilliant hills and mountains so I get a good hill run with my dog. At home I'll do the circuit training with old weights along with pull-ups in the trees and that sort of stuff.

I made a real specific decision when I came out of school and most artists were writing about home - if you were a woman you were writing about being a woman - and I decided not to do that write about what you know. That's not what I do. I went as far away from home as possible in terms of the development of my imagination.

I just moved into a new house so I love spending time at home. Everything for me is all about self-care because I really feel that if I'm at my best than I'm able to come to my job and really be feeling the best so if I'm not working out or going on a hike than I'm at home recharging and cooking dinner and hanging out with my cat.

Man hath still either toys or care: But hath no root nor to one place is tied but ever restless and irregular about this earth doth run and ride. He knows he hath a home but scarce knows where He says it is so far that he has quite forgot how to go there.

Every woman I've had a relationship with has found this maddening the fact that I will talk about anything on the stage and reveal all this stuff and yet when I'm at home I clam up and won't discuss anything intimate or personal.
