Music is an extraordinary vehicle for expressing emotion - very powerful emotions. That's what draws millions of people towards it. And um I found myself always going for these darker places and - people identify with that.

Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.

When I was a teenager I began to settle into school because I'd discovered the extracurricular activities that interested me: music and theater.

In terms of number of movies I've been in an extraordinary amount. If you count only the minutes I'm onscreen it's not so long.

You know when Hollywood does a great big blockbuster that really wraps you up in a world and lets you believe in extraordinary things that move you in some way in an almost operatic sensibility? That to me is the most fun I have at the movies.

I like action movies even though I think action movies are kind of derided now. But there is something extraordinary about action movies which is absolutely linked to the invention of cinema and what cinema is and why we love it.

My mother had to send me to the movies with my birth certificate so that I wouldn't have to pay the extra fifty cents that the adults had to pay.

The newspaper is a marvelous medium. It is extraordinarily convenient and cheap. Let's see. This one cost 75 cents. Now that's a little high. I bought it when I was downtown this morning.

We were doing it under the most extraordinary circumstances but the first out of the tent in the morning would be David Lean. He said to me on the very first day of shooting Pete this is the beginning of a great adventure.

My extravagance is my garden - it's the first thing I look at every morning when I wake up. It gives me so much pleasure.

The inequalities are greater now than in '92. Some states have equalized per-pupil spending but they set the 'equal level' very low so that wealthy districts simply raise extra money privately.

The extravagant expenditure of public money is an evil not to be measured by the value of that money to the people who are taxed for it.

Clearly this is a tough economic time and a lot of families are hurting. So when we talk to parents we talk about small changes for kids and things that don't cost extra money. Like adding water and eliminating sugary drinks and sodas. That's going to save money right there. Or adding a few more vegetables.

I'm extremely blessed to have the extraordinary mother that I have and I don't mean Diana Ross I mean the mother. My mom paved a road that didn't exist as did Oprah.

My hero is Michelle Williams who I grew close to when we did 'Meek's Cutoff.' She's an extraordinary actor and mom.

My mom passed away at 41 from diabetes. And I'm 42 thank you. I didn't want to do that to my son. So any time I was at the gym that thing that helped me do that last squat was my son calling some other woman mommy. And that would just give me that extra oomph to do that last squat. I want to be around for him.

One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.

A husband is what is left of a lover after the nerve has been extracted.

I am deeply grateful to the citizens of Sarajevo and the Sarajevo Canton assembly for bestowing upon me this incredible honor of citizenship. I am so proud to now be a part of such an extraordinary part of the world and fellow citizen to the people I deeply love and admire.

The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth the delight the ecstasy of it you will discover that for you the world is transformed.

I am an example of what is possible when girls from the very beginning of their lives are loved and nurtured by people around them. I was surrounded by extraordinary women in my life who taught me about quiet strength and dignity.

Imam Rauf and his backers have every legal right to build their extravagant Islamic center within the lethal radius of Ground Zero. But the rest of us have the right to question why they insist on doing so.

To have the opportunity to lead the Solicitor General's office is the honor of a lifetime. As you know this is an office with a long and rich tradition not only of extraordinary legal skill but also of extraordinary professionalism and integrity. That is due in large measure to the people who have led it.

History has shown us that on extraordinarily rare occasions it becomes necessary for the federal government to intervene on behalf of individuals whose 14th Amendment rights to legal due process and equal protection may be violated by a state.
