I feel like my music is just an extension of my acting. I treat the songs like scenes that tell a story... it's very similar. My favorite thing is when cartoon fans show up to my live gigs! They are always the most kick-butt audience members 'cause they're not trying to act all cool like a lot of the music fans do! It's refreshing!!

In an online community there's this kind of social economy between the community members. Some people have status because they make cool skins or that's a good website that's visited a lot but there's no real gameplay there.

Being on Oprah? You realize that there are a couple of types of audience members. There are like the cult people in the audience who are just crying before she gets on. And then there are the people who are playing it cool. I definitely was somewhere in the middle.

We some cast members and I even went on a weekend trip together and spent the weekend at an inn because we enjoy each other's company so much and it was so cool.

The church acknowledges some Scientologists choose to sever communications with family members who leave. The church says it is a fundamental human right to cease communication with someone. It adds disconnection is used against expelled members and those who attack the church.

I won't compare ants and people but ants give us a useful model of how single members of a community can become so organized that they end up resembling in effect one big collective brain. Our own exploding population and communication technology are leading us that way.

As Members of Congress we can now engage with our constituents via online innovations like the Huffington Post while a small business in rural Oregon can use the Internet to find customers around the world.

It is lovely when I forget all birthdays including my own to find that somebody remembers me.

In fact the best thing we could do on taxes for all Americans is to simplify the individual tax code. This will be a tough job but members of both parties have expressed an interest in doing this and I am prepared to join them.

I cannot say that the attitude of the United Nations always is for the Israeli attitude. Israel I think has been under severe attacks by members of the United Nations many times.

He best keeps from anger who remembers that God is always looking upon him.

'Twilight' is such an amazing project and I think it opened up doors for all of us cast members.

Just as we reject racism sexism ageism and heterosexism we reject speciesism. The species of a sentient being is no more reason to deny the protection of this basic right than race sex age or sexual orientation is a reason to deny membership in the human moral community to other humans.

I had the good fortune to be able to right an injustice that I thought was being heaped on young people by lowering the voting age where you had young people that were old enough to die in Vietnam but not old enough to vote for their members of Congress that sent them there.

A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.
