I enjoyed being involved in team sports and making close friendships.

I've been involved with sports my whole life which made clothes and makeup and handbags not that important as a kid. I just didn't care.

As a child I was very involved with sports and I knew at age 9 that I wanted to be an Olympic champion.

Philanthropy is involved with basic innovations that transform society not simply maintaining the status quo or filling basic social needs that were formerly the province of the public sector.

In my whole career I've never seen this type of race that you had to wait for the last day. There's so many teams that are involved. You've got to smile because we're in it.

I'm not being evasive but I am saying I'm not a scientist and I'm not directly involved in the consultation however the science must be sound it must be agreed and the consultation must be of a high quality or no one will have any confidence in the process.

Weapons of mass destruction aren't pulled out of a black hat like a white rabbit at a magic show. They're produced in factories. There's science and technology involved. They're not produced in a hole in the ground or in a basement.

Gender consciousness has become involved in almost every intellectual field: history literature science anthropology. There's been an extraordinary advance.

The first series I wrote 'L.A. Candy ' was always meant to be a three-book series so when I started out it was all outlined that way and by the time I was done with the third book I had become so involved and the process and the stories I was a little bit sad to be done.

The thing about romance and romantic movies is that they can be somewhat melodramatic. For a lot of actors there's a certain cringe factor that's involved with that.

The amount of speculation surrounding my romantic life is astounding. It's strange how involved people get: invested and angry really disappointed.

It's always flattering when somebody you really respect and like wants you to be involved in their project - let alone writes a part with your voice in mind.

In high school we studied a lot of poetical forms. I was really interested in the math that was involved and the strange live break ups. That gave me a great amount of respect for a rhymed stanza.

We are not directly involved in Syria. But we will be working with our partners in the European Union and at the United Nations to see if we can persuade the Syrian authorities to go as I say more in that direction of respect for democracy and human rights.

One should never be sexually involved with anyone one genuinely cares for. A sexual relationship guarantees a loss.

So I developed very early a massive inferiority complex and I've told the story often about how that inspired me later in life to get involved in other things because I couldn't out-do my brothers in sports and it's a very competitive relationship.

It's not that you know when a relationship doesn't work and there are issues you have to somehow work it out if there are children involved.

I was associated with a woman who I was involved with and had a relationship with. She asked for money. I felt as though I was being blackmailed or there was some sort of extortion.

With public figures involved in a relationship it seems that there is a machine behind their love so oftentimes.

I am an optimist about the UK. We have been involved in trade with our European partners which we will always be doing whatever this relationship is. We are a member of the EU. That gives us benefits. But we have to figure out where that is going. In the world we are a global trader already.

Every relationship between two individuals or two groups will be characterized by the ratio of secrecy that is involved in it.

A great power has to have the discipline not only to go when necessary but to know when not to go. Getting involved in ethnic religious civil wars is a recipe for disaster.

When you come off something really disappointing you want to come back and kind of regroup and get involved in something positive right away.

I am involved with politics today because of the inspiration I received from Ronald Reagan.
