If you're gonna take people on a journey that deals with some pretty heavy themes, I think you best have a sense of humor, here and there.

I would love for people to be able to think of me as a guy who stood up for what he believed in and helped make a difference for the vets.

I think it's important to have a blend just as we need to have by the way a mix of different opera companies and different arts companies.

The White House used to be, everybody looked up at the White House and America and everything, and now I think it's like a house of shame.

Sometimes I think, I need to think before I speak. And then other times I think, I shouldn't leave the house or interact with people ever.

Effective people are not problem minded; they're opportunity-minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems. They think preventively.

Students think they must write down the idea immediately, but I tell them if it's a good idea it'll be in your head in five minutes' time.

I still think punk's around. It's been pushed into the mainstream and it gets harder to draw that line between what's pop and what's punk.

I think people have certain preconceived notions of certain people that they've never met. And so, that's sort of what I try to work from.

I'm leaving the screen because I don't think I am very good in the pictures and I have this beautiful dream that I'm elegant on the stage.

I really got into 'The Walking Dead.' That was genius. And I have to say, my husband is on 'Shameless,' and I think it's a brilliant show.

...and I confess that, like a child, I cry. Ah, self-pity; I think we are at our most honest and sincere when we feel sorry for ourselves.

I think leadership is most effective when it's your own personality. But I feel like it's a natural progression as a quarterback, as well.

I don't like LA. The majority just seem to be so artificial. Look at how they worship everything they think is fashionable. Isn't it sick?

You think if you work hard enough, you can fix the precious things you've broken - rather than being careful with them in the first place.

Everyone has freedom to say whatever they want to say. I think it takes a stronger person to hold their tongue as opposed to speaking out.

It is an altogether wrong idea that the modern product of civilization is less susceptible to love. I sometimes think it is the other way.

If he does really think that there is no distinction between virtue and vice, why, sir, when he leaves our houses let us count our spoons.

But for the national welfare, it is urgent to realize that the minorities do think, and think about something other than the race problem.

I think I just want to make and be part of great records, because of what it brings to other people, what it gives back, is so incredible.

I don't read the "letters" section of Time magazine. I think it's just my habit as a reader. I don't read comments on stories, in general.

The more attention you give to your negative feelings, the more they grow, so I think things just start to blow totally out of proportion.

Funny things tend not to happen to me. I am not a natural comic. I need to think about things a lot before I can be even remotely amusing.

I think it's important to evolve and grow and take risks creatively, instead of repeating yourself and doing the same thing over and over.

I think pants have unique qualities, especially in a woman’s life. Whatever bodily insecurities we have, we seem to take out on our pants.

I'm a walker. I enjoy walking, which I think psychologically expresses my feelings of wanting liberation without exerting myself too much.

The simplest way for me to look at the law of attraction is if I think of myself as a magnet, and I know that a magnet will attract to it.

I don't think I could ever settle down. I have known too much of the depths of life already, and I would prefer anything to an anticlimax.

I'm channelling my 14-year-old self. She's thinking about putting on her big hoop earrings and baggy pants and going to the mall downtown.

Sometimes I think everyone is just pretending to be brave, and none of us really are. Maybe pretending is how you get brave, I don't know.

If you think we are going to gain ground by holding the American people hostage, saying that their taxes are at risk, I actually disagree.

I watched the footage of Saddam being executed, and it really made me think...is there nothing on the internet that I won't masturbate to?

I think you can only be outgoing when the person you're talking to is outgoing. I can be outgoing if I want to be, if you meet me halfway.

I don't think I'm kind of universally known. I think in the indie world I'm probably better known than in some mainstream Hollywood terms.

Listen now. When people talk listen completely. Don't be thinking what you're going to say. Most people never listen. Nor do they observe.
