I consider myself to have been the bridge between the shotgun and the binoculars in bird watching. Before I came along the primary way to observe birds was to shoot them and stuff them.

The first big break was winning a scholarship to go to Cambridge University. I was very lucky because my parents couldn't have afforded a university education for me. Without a scholarship I couldn't possibly have gone.

President Obama believes in a country where we invest in education in roads and bridges in science and in the future so we can create new opportunities so the next kid can make it big and the kid afer that and the kid after that that's what President Obama believes.

Since my education I've done quite untraditional things. There are very few Etonians who went to Rada. And far fewer Etonians - certainly when I was there - went to Cambridge. I don't know whether it's the same now. Most people I knew went to Oxford because it seemed more of an easy bridge.

If we help an educated man's daughter to go to Cambridge are we not forcing her to think not about education but about war? - not how she can learn but how she can fight in order that she might win the same advantages as her brothers?

Education is all a matter of building bridges.

One of the dreams of Zionism was to be a bridge. Instead we are creating exclusion between the East and the West instead of creating bridges we are contributing to the conflict between East and West by our stupid desire to have more.

I save my dreams and hopes for my kids. When I'm making a wish under a bridge or tunnel it's always for them.

If a man can bridge the gap between life and death if he can live on after he's dead then maybe he was a great man.

I found myself very lost after 'The Partridge Family ' and I lost my dad and I lost my manager and I lived in a bubble and it took me 15 years to get through that and a lot of psychotherapy and I'm laughing about it now!

I love to cook. My dad's a really excellent cook and his style is: Look in the fridge and make whatever there is with whatever ingredients you have and I like cooking like that too.

There can be a fundamental gulf of gracelessness in a human heart which neither our love nor our courage can bridge.

I believe in communication books communicate ideas and make bridges between people.

What's monotonous about being an actor and often makes me want to throw in the towel or drive a car off a bridge is the auditioning - the waiting around.

If you were successful somebody along the line gave you some help... Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business - you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen.

Sometimes you get the best light from a burning bridge.

We live in a state with a wonderful climate and plenty of natural beauty from the shores of Cumberland Island to the Chattahoochee River to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

All my writing is about the recognition that there is no single reality. But the beauty of it is that you nevertheless go on walking towards utopia which may not exist on a bridge which might end before you reach the other side.

When I'm in London Claridge's is a great favourite. I'm a big fan of art deco architecture and the rooms are extraordinary.

Bridges are perhaps the most invisible form of public architecture.

Poetry is not only dream and vision it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.

I've never stabbed hurt killed stolen anything but I went to jail for a year. What is that? My pastor said to me the fact that I'm not living under a bridge as a crazy woman talking to myself is amazing.

I seriously love to cook... My grandmother was an amazing cook. As a kid I used to help her make handmade pasta Cavatelli and Ravioli. It was one of my favorite things to do. I love the idea of making whatever is in the fridge into something.
