I just love bossy women. I could be around them all day. To me bossy is not a pejorative term at all. It means somebody's passionate and engaged and ambitious and doesn't mind leading.

Something that's such a joy in my life every day - cooking - is this incredible horrific danger to women around the world.

With women I've got a long bamboo pole with a leather loop on the end. I slip the loop around their necks so they can't get away or come too close. Like catching snakes.

Many people have their reputations as reporters and analysts because they are on television batting around conventional wisdom. A lot of these people have never reported a story.

Around '93 '94 the conventional wisdom about the Internet was that it was a toy for academics and researchers. So it was very very underestimated for about two years.

If you're trying to achieve there will be roadblocks. I've had them everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it go through it or work around it.

I felt very unstressed on my wedding day. I'm very grateful for that... spending the day on my own being super quiet and happy and just puttering around doing my own thing.

Strategic thinkers were naturally rattled to find this outsider fooling around with their work. They had been thinking strategically when Reagan was just another movie actor playing opposite a chimpanzee for heaven's sake. They think Reagan is too naive too innocent to grasp the intellectual complexities of cold war strategy.

A boy doesn't have to go to war to be a hero he can say he doesn't like pie when he sees there isn't enough to go around.

Here we will solve with laws and dollars problems that too many people around the world still must solve with violence and civil war.

I want a world without war a world without insanity. I want to see people do well. I don't even think it's as much as what I want for myself. It's more what I want for the people around me. That's what I want.

The truth is if anyone saw my home life I'm pretty sure it would look like other families' around the world. There's a lot of juggling to be done.

Our understanding of the world around us is constantly being redefined and expanded and so therefore it is wiser to be passionate about seeking for truth than knowing it.

I don't want any yes-men around me. I want everybody to tell me the truth even if it costs them their job.

Gossip needn't be false to be evil - there's a lot of truth that shouldn't be passed around.

A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

Trust is a big word for me. Loyalty and trust for me are everything. It's the core of what I'm about and what the people around me hopefully are about. It's a certain thing that gives you a sense of security. It's the biggest factor in everything I do.

As a historian what I trust is my ability to take a mass of information and tell a story shaped around it.

I have a good team around me. I have people I trust around me. If I go the wrong way they will yell at me. Just as they have in the past.

I don't trust or love anyone. Because people are so creepy. Creepy creepy creeps. Creeping around. Creeping here and creeping there. Creeping everywhere.

I trust every single person around me and if I feel even a whiff of uncertainty I won't have that person around me.

We need in effect to make the phantom 'lock-boxes' around the trust fund real.

I don't listen to people's opinions. I have people around me who I can trust but most of all I listen to myself.

They are the only people in the world who I can truly trust and rely on. Touring gets really lonely. I guess I have friends around me but when you're paying them can they ever really be true friends?
