My dad of course like a lot of Asian parents wanted me to be an engineer or doctor and never could understand why I would want to be a lawyer. And then when I first said I wanted to run for office he thought that was absolutely insane.

My dad is a bank president and my mom was an accountant and they didn't think that seeking the life of a freelance writer was very practical you see. Of course I was just as determined to do it.

But my main thing that I would love to see as a fan of 'Glee ' like I said is to really get into the character and who they are and what they do outside of school. I think that that's interesting. And then of course the themed stuff and the album episodes are all really cool too.

And of course I've got kids of my own now and they love me being in the Harry Potter films. I'm now part of a phenomenon. You become incredibly cool to your kids and you get a young fan base. So you became the cool dad at school. You're suddenly hip.

Playing well with others is important - not being too flashy just keeping good time and of course coming up with cool beats. A good snare drum kick drum high hat. Just getting good at the hand feet coordination.

I use many different gadgets connected with computers I use PCs laptops and a Palm Pilot. I also use the Internet to visit websites especially within Polish-language Internet. I usually go to political discussion groups and sites - of course as I use my real name people never believe that they are chatting with me!

On the political front of course it's a zero-sum game. If it's all white males holding positions you bring 10 women in then it's 'Women are coming!' Get 10 blacks and it's 'Blacks are coming!' 'Hispanics are coming!' Zero-sum game. The seatmates might change but the chairs don't move. In the economy the number of chairs can actually increase.

You don't change the course of history by turning the faces of portraits to the wall.

I think the tiniest little thing can change the course of your day which can change the course of your year which can change who you are.

It is quite annoying that we have to change the sound we invented just to avoid sounding like people who simply copy us but... it is flattering and of course challenging.

Change of weather is the discourse of fools.

Words do not change their meanings so drastically in the course of centuries as in our minds names do in the course of a year or two.

Of course there is no question that Libya - and the world - will be better off with Gaddafi out of power. I along with many other world leaders have embraced that goal and will actively pursue it through non-military means. But broadening our military mission to include regime change would be a mistake.

The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in one solitary and even humble individual - for it is in the solitary mind and soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost.

I change during the course of a day. I wake and I'm one person and when I go to sleep I know for certain I'm somebody else.

I shall not change my course because those who assume to be better than I desire it.

The fact is that a car used by Gerry Adams and myself during the course of the Mitchell review was bugged by elements within British military intelligence.

I'm gonna be the best dad that ever lived. I'll have a ranch with a race car track and a golf course.

On the average I don't spend more than 15 minutes in the car - to go to the golf course or the gym. And that's the only time I listen to the radio.

Of course I'm older now. I'm in a different place in my life than when I wrote the songs for 'Car Wheels' or 'Essence' or whatever. Different things were going on.

I started cooking in kitchens right out of high school and I was lucky to work with a lot of great people but I had no idea it would turn into this. Of course no one should go into this business because they want to be the next Emeril.

The business is a very tricky obstacle course and you should be very clear about work begetting work. If you're not working you're not interesting.

Interest in business ethics courses has surged and student activities at leading business schools are more focused than ever before on making business serve long-term social values.

I'm a mad lover of sport. You cannot say a bad word to me about sports. So I know business is involved and I know it can be cynical and of course I watch it but for me it's pure.
