I'm actually tougher on myself as I get older. It's a vicious cycle. The things that are important in life are the things that you can't buy in life: love health and happiness. I say that and I believe that and I try to live that.

I love my family and I had a very wonderful magical childhood. But New Jersey was actually a very cold place. There was such an intense concentration of wealth and such a low concentration of any actual human happiness.

Nobody I think ought to read poetry or look at pictures or statues who cannot find a great deal more in them than the poet or artist has actually expressed. Their highest merit is suggestiveness.

I've got a great cigar collection - it's actually not a collection because that would imply I wasn't going to smoke every last one of 'em.

At the end of four years' time at graduation we were down to 12. At our reunion that we had several years ago only 1 out of the 52 actually made it to ordination and priesthood. So there you go there's your numbers.

I have actually five honorary degrees.

The universities have got a job here as well in making sure that people actually understand that we're open for university students coming into the U.K. There's a job here not just for the government I think there's a job for the universities as well to make sure that people know that we are open.

For voters what matters is what government actually delivers for them.

We campaigned on the fact that we were going to have to take difficult decisions because of the state of the public finances. When we got into government we discovered that actually the public finances were in an even worse state than we thought.

I hate big government but I really hate a government that doesn't work. So when 'they say we either have to raise taxes or cut core services ' it's actually a 'false choice.'

As far as your personal goals are and what you actually want to do with your life it should never have to do with the government. You should never depend on the government for your retirement your financial security for anything.

Television of course actually started in Britain in 1936 and it was a monopoly and there was only one broadcaster and it operated on a license which is not the same as a government grant.

But ours was intended to be a citizen government. It is what of by and for the people means. And when our most important issue in California is the creation of jobs I think it's quite helpful to have someone in the U.S. Senate or in the governor's seat who actually knows where jobs come from.

Candidly I believe most corporations actually don't mind big government.

In the rush to become all things to all people the federal government has lost sight of its core responsibilities. As a result we're stuck in this frustrating paradox where Washington actually neglects things it's clearly supposed to be doing while interfering in other areas where they are neither welcome nor authorized.

As far as your personal goals are and what you actually want to do with your life it should never have to do with the government. You should never depend on the government for your retirement your financial security for anything. If you do you're screwed.

No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs once launched never disappear. Actually a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!

But the real secret to lifelong good health is actually the opposite: Let your body take care of you.

Being generous or doing things for others actually makes me feel good so I don't do it because I hope karma will come round and get me and I'll benefit from it.

When people see your personality come out they feel so good like they actually know who you are.

I've always believed in God. I also think that's the sort of thing that either comes as part of the equipment the capacity to believe or at some point in your life when you're in a position where you actually need help from a power greater than yourself you simply make an agreement.

I actually pray everyday but I don't believe in God.

A lot of people think Christianity is about always being perfect. It's actually the opposite of that. It's realizing that we're all humans and that's why God sent his Son to this earth - to save people.

If you tell God no because He won't explain the reason He wants you to do something you are actually hindering His blessing. But when you say yes to Him all of heaven opens to pour out His goodness and reward your obedience. What matters more than material blessings are the things He is teaching us in our spirit.
