There can be no clearer indication of how undemocratic the way we finance campaigns is than the fact that only one-quarter of 1% donate $200 or more, and only one-tenth of 1% gives $1,000 or more.
I'm like the guy who prepares your taxes or a dentist. I'm very conservative and boring in a lot of ways.
The Railway Man was a particularly intense and immersive experience. I definitely got carried away. I lost about 35 pounds. I really was incredibly skinny and also quite unwell while we were filming. It wasn't very healthy. I don't recommend it. But then also doing the torture scenes, the water boarding stuff, there wasn't really any other way just to do it really.
Every time I see a film about Joan of Arc I'm convinced she'll get away with it. It's the only way to get through life.
A man who is used to acting in one way never changes; he must come to ruin when the times, in changing, no longer are in harmony with his ways.
Art at its best draws attention not only to the way things are but also to the way things will be, when the earth is filled with the knowledge of G-D as the waters cover the sea. That remains a surprising hope, and perhaps it will be the artists who are best at conveying both the hope and the surprise.
Muslims are a part of the fabric of this country. By the way, they always have been, and more so now than ever.
What concerns me is not the way things are, but rather the way people think things are.
I met [Shatner] on the set of Star Trek V, and he was horrible to me. He was cruel, and dismissive, and treated me the way I understand he treats pretty much everyone who tells him how much they loved him as Captain Kirk.
I think I cry when I'm angry. I let it go that way.
When God is involved, anything can happen. Be open. Stay that way. God has a beautiful way of bringing good vibrations out of broken chords.
I resent limitations. I'm going to be this way for a while.
Environmentalism is a luxury. Just like being a vegetarian is a luxury. When you have to worry about eating - you're not going to be worried about where the food's coming from, or who made your shoes. Poverty, whether planned or not planned, is a way of making environmentalism moot.
Not all guys that look a certain way or dress a certain way or act a certain way are the same.
Don't let what others think or say get in your way; their actions reflect on them, not you.
The Word of God makes use of poetic imagery when discussing. . . formless intelligences but. . . it does not do so for the sake of art, but as a concession to the nature of our own mind. It uses scriptural passages in an uplifting fashion as a way, provided for us from the first, to uplift our mind in a manner suitable to our nature.
I am unable to distinguish between the feeling I have for life and my way of expressing it.
If I have just an ounce of sense, I follow the great Way, and fear only to stray from it.
A novel is not, after all, a historical document, but a way to travel through the human heart.
the real mission you have in life is to make yourself happy, and in order to be happy, you have to look at what you believe, the way you judge yourself, the way you victimize yourself
