I jumped off a cliff backwards for 'I Am Number Four ' which was pretty cool. I'd never done that before. It took seven takes from different angles and luckily there were no injuries. I came close though. My head nearly hit the rock at one point.

There's no point in swanning through and being cool as a breeze in every scene. It's not really that interesting. Even if you're a superhero.

Me and my dad are friends. We're cool. I'll never be disappointed again because I don't expect anything anymore from him. I just let him exist and that's how we get along.

Maybe I am a little bit guilty of trying to convince myself that I am cool to this point - even today. But I am so much more healthy than I used to be in my twenties because I was not accepted at all.

No matter how good you are at some point your kids are gonna have to create their own independence and think that Mom and Dad aren't cool just to establish themselves. That's what adolescence is about. They're gonna go through that no matter what.

I remember being on film sets when I was younger and only men got to do the cool action movies. So I thought 'Maybe I'll get to produce one day and get to do cool stuff too ' which is what happened when we did 'Charlie's Angels.' Starting my production company was a big turning point for me.

If I was designing a web site for elementary school children I might have a much higher percentage of older computers with outdated browsers since keeping up with browser and hardware technology has not traditionally been a strong point of most elementary schools.

If you like overheads you'll love PowerPoint.

Anybody who thinks that getting a communication from a voter in your district is spam - that guy is pork. Roast pork unless he changes his point of view.

What does music mean to me? I don't think I would really be much without it without it coming through me. It's my means of communication my means of growth my means of transportation from one point in my life to another.

I do genuinely believe that the political system is not linear. When it reaches a tipping point fashioned by a critical mass of opinion the slow pace of change we're used to will no longer be the norm. I see a lot of signs every day that we're moving closer and closer to that tipping point.

I wouldn't change one thing about my professional life and I make it a point not to dwell on my mistakes.

I am artistic so I reserve the right to change my mind at any point. I just like to do different things. What is more important than the name is that people know that I really like acting I enjoy it and I want people to know that I am serious.

I don't think anything changes until ideas change. The usual American viewpoint is to believe that something is wrong with the person.

I don't think we're yet evolved to the point where we're clever enough to handle a complex a situation as climate change. The inertia of humans is so huge that you can't really do anything meaningful.

Climate change is a global issue - from the point of view of the Earth's climate a molecule of CO2 emitted in Bejing is the same as a molecule emitted in Sydney.

My point is that perceptual bias can affect nut jobs and scientists alike. If we hold too rigidly to what we think we know we ignore or avoid evidence of anything that might change our mind.

There is at least one point in the history of any company when you have to change dramatically to rise to the next level of performance. Miss that moment - and you start to decline.

That's the thing about interviews at some point you're going to change your mind. But it's there forever and you can't escape it.

People's view of cancer will change when they have their own relationship with cancer which everyone will at some point.

There is no question that climate change is happening the only arguable point is what part humans are playing in it.

Climate change was a point of division between Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney. The president declared climate change a global threat acknowledged that the actions of humanity were deepening the crisis and pledged to do something about it if elected.

The biggest danger to the European Union comes not from those who advocate change but from those who denounce new thinking as heresy. In its long history Europe has experience of heretics who turned out to have a point.

I don't have clear-cut positions. I get baffled by things. I have viewpoints. Sometimes they change.
