A lot of people are afraid to tell the truth to say no. That's where toughness comes into play. Toughness is not being a bully. It's having backbone.

The problem with not having a camera is that one must trust the analysis of a reporter who's telling you what occurred in the courtroom. You have to take into consideration the filtering effect of that person's own biases.

Having been given that public trust we have a responsibility to share with the public.

Spending when the math's not there and the numbers aren't there and if they look in the social security trust fund it's filled with IOUs because the government's been pilfering it for years on end. We have to do something. We have to start having this discussion.

When it comes to locations I'm one of those crazy authors who has to see it touch it taste it before I trust myself to recreate it for my readers. Having said that visiting a locked-down pediatric psych ward was the most intimidating research I've ever done - and I've visited maximum security prisons shooting galleries bone collections etc.

I worked with creative people who were very demanding of me and they helped me reach performances that I never could have gotten on my own without being pushed and having trust in them. And so I know the best way to get the best performance of an actor and that's not to coddle them or to baby them. It's to help them it's to push them.

I tend not to trust people who live in very tidy houses. I know that on the surface there is nothing wrong with a person being well-ordered and disciplined. Nothing except that it leaves the impression of that person having lived in the confines of a stark institution which although he or she has long since left remains within.

I feel I do my best work when it's all there on the page and I feel that the character is very vivid as I read the script and I'm not having to create stuff and trying to cobble together something. If I have to do that then I don't entirely trust what I'm doing.

The cyberspace earnings I get from Linux come in the format of having a Network of people that know me and trust me and that I can depend on in return.

I've considered having my nose fixed. But I didn't trust anyone enough. If I could do it myself with a mirror.

We have had a chance to travel to all 56 counties in this state and I have had the chance to sit around with cups of coffee and having conversations about what matters to Montanans.

I travel a lot I hate having my life disrupted by routine.

If I had children I would be very selfish. I wouldn't be out doing things. But by not having kids it makes me freer to travel the world and talk about things I feel are important.

You know the interesting thing about having traveled around the country as much as I have and I think it's sort of inadvertently what made me come out or at least begin doing things within the community and thinking more about that was that I get to travel quite a bit.

It definitely gets challenging at times. I travel a lot more now and its never easy having to leave the kids even if its for a few days.

Movie acting is a great job for your twenties: You travel all over you have affairs with people and you throw yourself into one part and then another. It gets more challenging as you get older and it's not just having a daughter it's wanting to have your own life and be yourself.

Before we had the kids my husband and I were traveling a lot and working and really enjoying our lives and each other. We both love the theater and books and travel and so we were really having a lot of fun.

I don't have the luxury of having a dog myself because I travel too much but I love walking and cuddling somebody else's dog.

I didn't realize what an impact having a No. 1 single would have. It connects me with people of different ages and I get to travel all over the world.

Having to travel so much plays havoc with your personal life.

My kids started school so having a strong base in Melbourne has been a key priority. I'm not daunted by the travel. People say 'It's so far to Australia ' and I say 'You get on the plane you eat well you sleep you wake up - and you're there.'

I really enjoy what I do and who I'm with and where I am. Having said that I'm not really a person of habit because what I do in my job is travel around the world and play concerts to people and occasionally do very weird things.

I stepped away to find out more about myself which I was having difficulty doing as a football player. I got a chance to travel the world. I studied Eastern philosophy and I've grown as a person so much.

You know more of a road by having traveled it than by all the conjectures and descriptions in the world.
