I hope that through my example such as my role on 'The West Wing ' I can help change attitudes on deafness and prove we can really do everything... except hear.

There's always hope. You can lose everything else in the world but Jews never lose hope.

Do parents sit down and tell their kids everything? I don't know. I don't know. I've convinced myself - I hope I'm right - that children despair of you if you don't tell them the truth.

Life is given to you like a flat piece of land and everything has to be done. I hope that when I am finished my piece of land will be a beautiful garden so there is a lot of work.

It took me less than half a lifetime to realize that regret is one of the few guaranteed certainties. Sooner or later everything is touched by it despite our naive and senseless hope that just this time we will be spared its cold hand on our heart.

The reason I never give up hope is because everything is so basically hopeless.

You just have to keep trying to do good work and hope that it leads to more good work. I want to look back on my career and be proud of the work and be proud that I tried everything. Yes I want to look back and know that I was terrible at a variety of things.

Love is a springtime plant that perfumes everything with its hope even the ruins to which it clings.

Desire is the starting point of all achievement not a hope not a wish but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.

I wish I could know everything ever like that would be my wish - that's what I hope heaven is that they tell you who shot JFK and all that stuff.

Everything that is done in the world is done by hope.

After spending time with the rescued turkeys at Farm Sanctuary's shelter and seeing how similar they are to my furry companion animals at home I knew I needed to do everything in my power to protect these friendly and curious birds from the daily pain and suffering they endure on factory farms.

At home growing up we weren't really poor. We had everything we needed we just didn't have what we wanted.

I just moved into a new house so I love spending time at home. Everything for me is all about self-care because I really feel that if I'm at my best than I'm able to come to my job and really be feeling the best so if I'm not working out or going on a hike than I'm at home recharging and cooking dinner and hanging out with my cat.

And now I still really don't care that much but now I have music playing all the time at home which is a first for me. Whatever. Everything from Ani DiFranco to Dave Matthews to Jack Johnson and Norah Jones.

I am an American citizen and it is my home now. I like the U.S.A. which is not a place too many people have liked since Bush. The U.S. has a young population and everything can change within a year.

With fiction you can talk about plot character and narrative whereas a poem brings home the fact that everything that happens in a work of literature happens in terms of language. And this is daunting stuff to deal with.

When I am made fun of in the press I just remember those days when I'd come home to find that the water had been turned off because my mother couldn't afford the bill. Suddenly everything feels easier.

I have a life that I enjoy I try and value the things that I think are worth valuing and everything else is icing. You know it is a kick to go down the red carpet in that dress and then you go back home.

When I was doing 'Scarface ' I remember being in love at that time. One of the few times in my life. And I was so glad it was at that time. I would come home and she would tell me about her life that day and all her problems and I remember saying to her look you really got me through this picture because I would shed everything when I came home.

A good wife is someone who thinks she has done everything right: raising the kids being there for the husband being home trying to do it all.

So we come out to Los Angeles. And we met with every network. We met with show runners directors writers everything. And what we had an idea for they didn't like. And what they had an idea for we didn't like. So we went home.

I am a perfectionist but I know how to live life. When I'm working it's 100%. When I'm with my friends I put everything away and enjoy life. When I come home to my kids it's pure joy and everything's worth it. Every time I really focus 100 percent on one thing. I've learned how to juggle my life and I feel like now I have the perfect balance.

I noted that people are happy here in India. When I went back home people had everything in the materialistic sense and were surrounded with abundance but they were not happy.
