Respectable means rich and decent means poor. I should die if I heard my family called decent.

I'm not an anarchist but I believe that people don't want the royal family - the so-called royal family.

I have been called a nun with a switchblade where my privacy is concerned. I think there's a point where one says that's for family that's for me.

Maybe there is no actual place called hell. Maybe hell is just having to listen to our grandparents breathe through their noses when they're eating sandwiches.

Yes you who called us godless we found our faith in Adolf Hitler and through him found God once again. That is the greatness of our day that is our good fortune!

It is something that is called MDS. It is a rare blood disorder that affects the bone marrow. I'm going to beat this. My doctors say it and my faith says it.

I'm on the board of a national group called Faith in America. It's designed to fight religious-based bigotry.

I am not a great theologian. I know there is a theological concept called invincible ignorance in which a strong enough faith binds you to any facts to the contrary.

I wasn't with Joseph but I believe him. My faith did not come to me through science and I will not permit so-called science to destroy it.

A person who has sympathy for mankind in the lump faith in its future progress and desire to serve the great cause of this progress should be called not a humanist but a humanitarian and his creed may be designated as humanitarianism.

Success represents the 1% of your work which results from the 99% that is called failure.

Failure after long perseverance is much grander than never to have a striving good enough to be called a failure.

I don't believe in the so-called Olympic spirit. I speak from personal experience. When China hosted the Games it failed to include the people. The event was constructed without regard for their joy.

To pursue a so-called Third Way is foolish. We had our experience with this in the 1960s when we looked for a socialism with a human face. It did not work and we must be explicit that we are not aiming for a more efficient version of a system that has failed.

Disease is an experience of a so-called mortal mind. It is fear made manifest on the body.

I did a play called Throne of Straw when I was 11 at the Odyssey Theatre in Los Angeles. It became really clear to me at that point that I enjoyed acting more than any other experience I was having.

No experience is a cause of success or failure. We do not suffer from the shock of our experiences so-called trauma - but we make out of them just what suits our purposes.

Mistakes are painful when they happen but years later a collection of mistakes is what is called experience.

Just as modern mass production requires the standardization of commodities so the social process requires standardization of man and this standardization is called equality.

I wanted to help raise awareness so I created an environmental foundation called Just Within Reach.

I think an old style of addressing environmental problems is ebbing but the rise of the so-called conservative political movement in this country is not a trend towards the future but a reaction to this very broad shift that we are undergoing.

If people destroy something replaceable made by mankind they are called vandals if they destroy something irreplaceable made by God they are called developers.

They basically said that if I didn't show up for school they'd mark me present they wouldn't send the truant officer after me. At 16 I enrolled in something called continuing education. Once a month I'd go out to Jamaica but I didn't take it seriously.

It is just called Continuing Legal Education. You can go to lectures you can even listen to tapes on airplanes - they want you to stay current. So you do have to stay current to maintain your license even if you are not practicing.
