There are no true friends in politics. We are all sharks circling, and waiting, for traces of blood to appear in the water.
We're a violent nation, and we need to confront it. This gun plague has to stop.
Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it.
If we don't stand up for children, then we don't stand for much.
Children must have at least one person who believes in them. It could be a counselor, a teacher, a preacher, a friend. It could be you. You never know when a little love, a little support will plant a small seed of hope.
We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.
You just need to be a flea against injustice. Enough committed fleas biting strategically can make even the biggest dog uncomfortable and transform even the biggest nation.
I love writing. I like reading, other people, not myself.
O, what a world of vile ill-favored faults, looks handsome in three hundred pounds a year!
The source of a true smile is an awakened mind. Smiling helps you approach the day with gentleness and understanding.
The problem is I want to do everything. I really love all of it, and I love every aspect of movie-making and storytelling, and I love television, I love the Internet. I wish I had time to do absolutely everything.
