I'm pleased to offer analysis of public policy and politics to the millions of Americans who get their news from Fox.

I always had a long-term view of going into politics so I suppose I was always careful. I mean I got offered all these rinky dink tax deals but I always paid my taxes. I am naturally quite conservative.

I'm not very active politically. The causes I work on offer immediate practical accessible help and politics has never meant that to me.

I will go to the next election saying to Australians vote for me vote for the Liberal Party and I will become your PM. So I'm offering myself as the alternative PM - that's one way people describe the Leader of the Opposition - but I'm not in politics for myself to realize a personal ambition.

The country already has a leader who divides us with the bitter politics of envy. We have to offer an alternative vision.

No what I should really like to do right now in the full blaze of lights before this illustrious assembly is to shower every one of you with gifts with flowers with offerings of poetry - to be young once more to ride on the crest of the wave.

And yet in a culture like ours which is given to material comforts and addicted to forms of entertainment that offer immediate gratification it is surprising that so much poetry is written.

I knew what book we had to write it was clear in my head it was journals and poetry. So I passed on their offer. I told my agent this is our vision and no one's done it this way.

However I learned something. I thought that if the young person the student has poetry in him or her to offer them help is like offering a propeller to a bird.

It is by such means as the prize offered by your Committee that the attention of the world will be focused and that men and women will be inspired to greater efforts in the interest of peace.

For decades parents were told by so-called parenting 'experts' that offspring would be best raised on the belief each is special and entitled to all life has to offer.

Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us hovering averting our eyes and they seldom offer thanks but what we do for them is never wasted.

To bare our souls is all we ask to give all we have to life and the beings surrounding us. Here the nature spirits are intense and we appreciate them make offerings to them - these nature spirits who call us here - sealing our fate with each other celebrating our love.

None of us is responsible for the complexion of his skin. This fact of nature offers no clue to the character or quality of the person underneath.

As a means of contrast with the sublime the grotesque is in our view the richest source that nature can offer.

I am in the habit of looking not so much to the nature of a gift as to the spirit in which it is offered.

That's the way this business works: if your movies do well at the box office you will be offered more movies. It doesn't matter if you're a nice guy or you're a prick. If your movies do well there's a job waiting for you in Hollywood. It's not any more complicated than that.

Once you make a movie like 'Superbad ' when it's popular and you're the lead you get offered all kinds of things and there's a temptation to make bad movies either for the money or to maintain your relevance in pop culture.

The movies and the parts I'm being offered are becoming better and better.

I definitely have found a balance. I've had so many offers in the past to do different movies or different things and I always choose tournaments over it.

I haven't deliberately set out to play the blonde bombshell in my movies. In fact it's probably been quite the opposite. After the success of The Mask I wasn't offered all that many blonde bombshell parts to be honest. I think people believed from the beginning that I could actually walk and talk at the same time.

I've been offered lots of movies. There's always some actor who's doing a project and would like to have me do it. But you look at the project and think 'Gee there are a lot of good directors who could do that.' I'd like to do something only I can do.

I go to the movies a lot and I regret when I see some actor that I used to like to find them offering no more surprises.

Remember that God under the Law ordained a Lamb to be offered up to Him every Morning and Evening.
