As a teacher you can see the difference in kids who have parents who were involved. That difference by the time these kids get to the third grade is drastic.

I want to be involved with young people in some way. Teenagers. Because that's the most vulnerable time. I have a fantasy of becoming a teacher one day.

In the fourth grade my history teacher gave us a project: Why was the auto industry located in Detroit Michigan? I didn't know I was going to be an economist but I knew I was going to do something that was involved in answering questions like that one because I thought that was a fascinating question.

If a teacher does not involve himself his values his commitments in the course of discussion why should the students?

Since this war began our sympathy has gone out to all the suffering people who have been dragged into it. Further hundreds of millions have become involved since I spoke at Limerick fortnight ago.

Despite the success cult men are most deeply moved not by the reaching of the goal but by the grandness of the effort involved in getting there - or failing to get there.

As all of us with any involvement in sports knows no two umpires or no two referees have the same strike zone or call the same kind of a basketball game.

I enjoyed being involved in team sports and making close friendships.

Part of my growing up was always trying to make my parents proud and always trying to keep them happy. I think part of what held them together was my involvement in sports.

I've been involved with sports my whole life which made clothes and makeup and handbags not that important as a kid. I just didn't care.

As a child I was very involved with sports and I knew at age 9 that I wanted to be an Olympic champion.

There is no development strategy more beneficial to society as a whole - women and men alike - than the one which involves women as central players.

Philanthropy is involved with basic innovations that transform society not simply maintaining the status quo or filling basic social needs that were formerly the province of the public sector.

In my whole career I've never seen this type of race that you had to wait for the last day. There's so many teams that are involved. You've got to smile because we're in it.

I have to do more close research and fact checking for the science fiction. This is not however to say that writing good fantasy does not involve doing good research.

Sure science involves trial and error. Scientists refine theories each day. But as they do they help us grasp more clearly the wonders of the world and the universe.

I'm not being evasive but I am saying I'm not a scientist and I'm not directly involved in the consultation however the science must be sound it must be agreed and the consultation must be of a high quality or no one will have any confidence in the process.

Weapons of mass destruction aren't pulled out of a black hat like a white rabbit at a magic show. They're produced in factories. There's science and technology involved. They're not produced in a hole in the ground or in a basement.

Gender consciousness has become involved in almost every intellectual field: history literature science anthropology. There's been an extraordinary advance.

The first series I wrote 'L.A. Candy ' was always meant to be a three-book series so when I started out it was all outlined that way and by the time I was done with the third book I had become so involved and the process and the stories I was a little bit sad to be done.

The thing about romance and romantic movies is that they can be somewhat melodramatic. For a lot of actors there's a certain cringe factor that's involved with that.

The amount of speculation surrounding my romantic life is astounding. It's strange how involved people get: invested and angry really disappointed.

It's always flattering when somebody you really respect and like wants you to be involved in their project - let alone writes a part with your voice in mind.
