I wanted to translate from one flat surface to another. In fact my learning disabilities controlled a lot of things. I don't recognize faces so I'm sure it's what drove me to portraits in the first place.

Hopefully with each thing that you do you're learning something you're growing and you're pushing yourself a little harder in some way or another. So I think you'd be in real trouble if each new thing that you create didn't feel like 'Oh wow. I feel like I'm doing something a little different this time.'

Football management is such a pressurised thing - horseracing is a release. I'm also learning to play the piano - I'm quite determined - it's another release from the pressure of my job.

I spent a little time in Germany as a schoolboy learning German and it's a country I knew very well spent a lot of time in. I knew the history very well. I've always wanted to do a piece of work about the post-war period of one sort or another.

Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things but learning another way to think about things.

The role of the musician is to go from concept to full execution. Put another way it's to go from understanding the content of something to really learning how to communicate it and make sure it's well-received and lives in somebody else.

What we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn't think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know.

To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person.

Party domination and State leadership are concepts incompatible with one another.

I think Chinese leadership is trying to tell the world they have another set of logic or reasoning or values which are different from yours. Of course I don't think they believe that. It's just an argument that's made when you can't confront the truth and facts. They really want to maintain power.

Overall the challenge of leadership is both moral and one of developing the characteristics that make us respected by one another.

Golf is about knowledge and studying another player - more than listening to a teacher - is the best way to get it.

The passionate controversies of one era are viewed as sterile preoccupations by another for knowledge alters what we seek as well as what we find.

To express the same idea in still another way I think that human knowledge is essentially active.

There is however another purpose to which academies contribute. When they consist of a limited number of persons eminent for their knowledge it becomes an object of ambition to be admitted on their list.

Knowledge is not simply another commodity. On the contrary. Knowledge is never used up. It increases by diffusion and grows by dispersion.

Science is the knowledge of consequences and dependence of one fact upon another.

Knowledge about life is one thing effective occupation of a place in life with its dynamic currents passing through your being is another.

You will not accept credit that is due to another or harbor jealousy of an explorer who is more fortunate.

The surest route to breeding jealousy is to compare. Since jealousy comes from feeling less than another comparisons only fan the fires.

Another factor is the decision made in 1976 to sharply divide the FBI and the foreign intelligence agencies. The FBI would collect within the United States the foreign intelligence agencies would collect overseas.

Dissents are appeals to the brooding spirit of the law to the intelligence of another day.

Mr. Speaker we are a blessed Nation. We have not suffered another attack on our soil since September 11 and we are grateful. We have killed or captured dozens of members of al Qaeda and the Taliban. Our military and intelligence forces are working both hard and smart.

The prompt assimilation of that intelligence will be essential if we are to avoid another September 11th.
