I have deep respect for people's individual faith but when faith gets connected to the machinery of state or the machinery of hate I find it very confronting.
I am not here to parade my religious sentiments but I declare I have too much respect for the faith in which I was born to ever use it as the basis of a political organization.
I was brought up the Mexican way where actors are paid very little and every part you take is an act of faith. If people respect that then great.
In the spiritual body moreover man appears such as he is with respect to love and faith for everyone in the spiritual world is the effigy of his own love not only as to the face and the body but also as to the speech and the actions.
People with deep faith and big hearts are concerned as I am about the circumstance that Ms. Schiavo is in. I want them to know I will do what I can but there are limits to what any particular person - irrespective of the title they currently hold - can do.
I want the French people to respect values that allow each individual to practice his or her faith but in the frame of our common rules of secularism.
I'm a scientist not a theologian. I don't know if there is a God or not. Religion requires certainty. Revere and respect Gaia. Have trust in Gaia. But not faith.
My faith foundation works to bring about a greater respect and understanding between different faiths. We basically work with six popular religions in the world which are the three Abrahamic religions Hinduism and Buddhism and Sikhism.
But I recognize no infallible authority even in special questions consequently whatever respect I may have for the honesty and the sincerity of such or such an individual I have no absolute faith in any person.
My faith is very private to me. It plays an important part in my life but I do not try and throw my beliefs at others. I have tremendous respect for all faiths and beliefs but have a deep concern that religion and faith are currently a long way apart from each other.
In religious and in secular affairs the more fervent beliefs attract followers. If you are a moderate in any respect - if you're a moderate on abortion if you're a moderate on gun control or if you're a moderate in your religious faith - it doesn't evolve into a crusade where you're either right or wrong good or bad with us or against us.
I looked at some of the statues of Jesus they were just stones with no life. When they said that God is three I was puzzled even more but could not argue. I believed it simply because I had to have respect for the faith of my parents.
In economics hope and faith coexist with great scientific pretension and also a deep desire for respectability.
I do respect people's faith but I don't respect their manipulation of that faith in order to create fear and control.
America thinks of itself as a meritocracy so people have more respect for success and more contempt for failure.
Washington D.C. is what is broken not the immigration policies. We have good laws. We have people suffer every day because of government's failure to enforce the law and be respectful to the process we have. We have a pathway to citizenship already in place.
Discipline is based on pride on meticulous attention to details and on mutual respect and confidence. Discipline must be a habit so ingrained that it is stronger than the excitement of the goal or the fear of failure.
In all our deeds the proper value and respect for time determines success or failure.
My father respected and admired my mother and was a person who was always standing by my side encouraging me to do more and believed in my capacity. So in that sense my own experience was very good in becoming an empowered woman. From early on I carried that strong message: 'You can do it.' So I never had any doubt that women can do a lot.
A woman's experience is different from a man's in virtually every respect including how she is treated by the media.
I very rarely came across rude or disrespectful people. I don't know how I slipped by all of them but I honestly can't think of one experience off the top of my head that was like that. I'm sure they're there but I'd have to think really hard to recall them.
Of two pleasures if there be one which all or almost all who have experience of both give a decided preference irrespective of any feeling of moral obligation to prefer it that is the more desirable pleasure.
I joined the Labour party because I believed in equality in freedom of speech and in tolerance compassion and understanding for people irrespective of their background and views. In whatever I decide to do in the future I will hold to those principles.
As an actor you just want to work and then you just want to be on a show or have a job that you love and you hope that job will last - those things have happened. To have that platform to then talk about something that is very personal to me like marriage equality it feels like a gift. I try and really respect that voice and not abuse it.
Now learning a bit more about footballers I think what they need to do well is someone who really wants to stay in the background and just be a strong support.
