We have an incredible warrior class in this country - people in law enforcement intelligence - and I thank God every night we have them standing fast to protect us from the tremendous amount of evil that exists in the world.

A person must have a certain amount of intelligent ignorance to get anywhere.

The single most important thing in a child's performance is the quality of the teacher. Making sure a child spends the maximum amount of time with inspirational teachers is the most important thing.

I've been acting my whole life. I have this huge imagination! I'm a dancer and my mom's a dance teacher and I was always performing and entertaining people. I'd go to see live theatre or a movie and I'd become the main character for a few days afterwards. I loved being somebody new for a temporary amount of time.

Many who have had an opportunity of knowing any more about mathematics confuse it with arithmetic and consider it an arid science. In reality however it is a science which requires a great amount of imagination.

I never had the financial means that the media said I had. I laugh when I hear the amounts $400 million $800 million. Where do they get this imagination?

Although I do not have a family I have eyes ears and imagination and know as most people know that the importance of one's children is paramount.

No amount of skillful invention can replace the essential element of imagination.

When I was a kid my father didn't really have much hope for me. He thought I was a dreamer he didn't think I would amount to anything. My mother also.

I grew up in an abusive home and was told on a daily basis by my father that I would never amount to anything and that I looked like a boy.

Accuracy is paramount in every detail of a work of history. Here's my rule: Ask yourself 'Did this thing happen?' If the answer is yes then it's historical. Then ask 'Did this thing happen precisely this way?' If the answer is yes then it's history if the answer is no not precisely this way then it's historical drama.

It takes an endless amount of history to make even a little tradition.

In mid-May the House of Representatives approved the full amount of money that the Veterans Administration said was needed for next year - plus an additional $1 billion increase for veterans' health care.

You bet every member of Congress who votes for this bill ought to read it read it thoroughly and understand that what we're looking at here amounts to nothing more than a government takeover of our health care economy paid for with nearly a trillion dollars in new taxes on individuals and small businesses. And it must be opposed.

For the amount of money that the country is going to spend this year on health care you can go out and hire a doctor for every seven families in the US and pay the doctor almost $230 000 a year to cover them.

And I believe that if we can care about whether or not our neighbor has a good job or access to affordable health care for their children and we move to implement the policies that can improve these situations we will unleash vast amounts of human potential and recapture the American spirit.

Hydraulic fracturing requires massive amounts of water. Disposing of the toxic wastewater as well as accidental spills can contaminate drinking water and harm human health.

There is no correlation between happiness and amounts of money.

I've run into certain geniuses of individualism - they are very few and far between - who live their lives completely on their own terms they are very powerful and have a great amount of happiness. We all should aspire to that.

Everyone needs a certain amount of money. Beyond that we pursue money because we know how to obtain it. We don't necessarily know how to obtain happiness.

Happiness includes chiefly the idea of satisfaction after full honest effort. No one can possibly be satisfied and no one can be happy who feels that in some paramount affairs he failed to take up the challenge of life.

Hugs can do great amounts of good - especially for children.

The government deficit is the difference between the amount of money the government spends and the amount it has the nerve to collect.

I believe that for the small numbers of Jewish people in the United States they exercise a tremendous amount of influence on the affairs of government.
