Well a lot of politics is communicating with people and obviously comedy has something to do with that. I've been a producer and led people. Also being a comedian you're under pressure.

To balance China the democracies will need new friends - and India with its fast-growing economy youthful population and democratic politics seems the obvious candidate.

I think I'm a very good reader of poetry but obviously like everybody I have a set of criteria for reading poems and I'm not shy about presenting them so if people ask for my critical response to a poem I tell them what works and why and what doesn't work and why.

We have peace with Israel. We're actually the last man standing. So there is going to be immense pressure and people asking 'Why are we having this relationship when it's not benefiting anybody?' Obviously my answer is you always benefit from peace.

Everyone is given one gift a reason for being and it's our obligation to do something with it. Obviously it's a challenge - but if you're not taking the bull by the horns I have no patience for you. You're just taking up space.

Art is about expressing the true nature of the human spirit in whatever way one wishes to express it. If it is honest it is beautiful. If it is not honest it is obvious.

No further evidence is needed to show that 'mental illness' is not the name of a biological condition whose nature awaits to be elucidated but is the name of a concept whose purpose is to obscure the obvious.

It seems to be a law of nature that no man unless he has some obvious physical deformity ever is loth to sit for his portrait.

Def Leppard is obviously a different band that we are but the music work well tighter. And the audiences seem work well together too. We are opening but we're having a good time.

I love all the old classic Disney movies. 'Pinocchio.' There are obviously tons of them that anybody growing up on that stuff takes with them their whole lives and I'm an admirer of a lot of classic animation and fairy tales. I grew up on a book of Grimm's fairy tales that I kind of wore out again and again. That's all stuff that lingers with you.

Obviously I love 'The Godfather' movies. I think they're phenomenal.

I'm into 'The Walking Dead ' 'Shaun of the Dead ' obviously and I've seen all the Romero movies. I am a classic zombie queen. And I love the White Walkers on 'Game of Thrones.' Weirdly it wasn't until pretty late in life that I found my entry point into horror films.

I love watching the Bond movies obviously and I grew up reading the books as a kid. I've always loved them because of that.

Obviously I'm attracted to heavier movies.

The first one obviously was walking into my office at eight o'clock in the morning on Wednesday and being told there was a telephone call saying that there was an incident at Three Mile Island and that it had shut down and that beyond that we didn't know.

I have to say that when you tour the world obviously the jetlags and different hours and ways of living and traveling a lot of hours in the plane and you wake up in the morning and you're not quite sure where you are and it is very tiring.

I obviously take a lot of pride in what I do on the football field because that has the ability to influence a lot of people. That puts smiles on people's faces. That gives people a pep in their step on Monday morning when they go back to work.

Money is a good thing and it's obviously useful but to work only for money or fame would never interest me.

My mom didn't ever think I would take to acting because I was a very shy very reserved kind of child. But obviously something changed!

Our parents are obviously proud but they're still trying to get used to the fact that we're in a band. I have a feeling my mom would actually like One Direction if I wasn't in it!

I gave guitar lessons. I tried to join bands. My mom always said it was obvious that nothing was going to stop me.

My mom obviously had a problem.

Sometimes the first duty of intelligent men is the restatement of the obvious.

The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were.
