I'm terrified of bugs and I travel with sprays lotions potions the lot. I have to check the room before I go to sleep and if I come across a bug and fail to remove it I have to sleep in a separate room as I'm paranoid that I'll be taken advantage of as I sleep.

A journey by Sea and Land Five Hundred Miles is not undertaken without money.

I'm thankful for the incredible advances in medicine that have taken place during my lifetime. I almost certainly wouldn't still be here if it weren't for them.

The technology is really where all of the changes have taken place but the fundamentals of a good story being the basis of every good picture and really the only basis still remains the rule more so today I think because we've unfortunately weaned an audience from birth to kind of mindless movies.

Many people mistakenly think a new technology cancels out an old one.

I got to get the right people in the right job. Because a lot of costs can be taken out in the context of your administration without the legislature.For example using technology to do more with less. Using technology to fight fraud. Reorganizing and streamlining can be done within the context of the administration.

To expect alien technology to be just a few decades ahead of ours is too incredible to be taken seriously.

When a music teacher that I had at school was taken ill and we had a variety show and I had to fill in - that's when I realized I had a voice.

I have to express sympathy from the bottom of my heart to those people who were taken as wartime comfort women. As a human being I would like to express my sympathies and also as prime minister of Japan I need to apologize to them.

The future belongs to us because we have taken charge of it. We have the commitment we have the resourcefulness and we have the strength of our people to share the dream across Africa of clean water for all.

People confuse goodness with weakness. It is weak people not good people (goodness demands strength) who are taken advantage of.

That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass glory in the flower. We will grieve not rather find strength in what remains behind.

By the time I was 8 years old sports had pretty much taken over my life.

There's steps that I've taken already and each week talking with the sports psychologist on a routine basis and working with the different programs that we're going through. This is all stuff that you can say you're going to make a difference but I'm putting it into action.

In every interview I have ever read or seen or taken part in the final question in our future-oriented society is always What next?

The gift of loneliness is sometimes a radical vision of society or one's people that has not previously been taken into account.

Society is always taken by surprise at any new example of common sense.

The time was not yet ripe for the growth of mathematical science among us and any development that might have taken place in that direction was rudely stopped by the civil war.

The science of booby-trapping has taken a good deal of the fun out of following hot on the enemy's heels.

Very few recognize science as the high adventure it really is the wildest of all explorations ever taken by human beings the chance to glimpse things never seen before the shrewdest maneuver for discovering how the world works.

Since Hiroshima and the Holocaust science no longer holds its pristine place as the highest moral authority. Instead that role is taken by human rights. It follows that any assault on Jewish life - on Jews or Judaism or the Jewish state - must be cast in the language of human rights.

Our family has gone through a very difficult time. My husband and I have taken the brunt of it. I've never known what it truly felt like to be so sad and desperate inside.

There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it.

As an actor I've grown considerably. It's taken me years to get comfortable doing a romantic scene and dancing on stage in front of a live audience. I've really opened up a lot.
