It was one of the most exciting perfect evenings of my life my solo debut at Carnegie Hall. And knowing we were all there to raise money for Gay Men's Health Crisis made the evening an extraordinary experience.

Inequality makes everyone unhappy the poor most of all and that is well within the remit of the state. More money gives less extra happiness the richer we get yet we are addicted to earning and spending more every year.

The '20s ended in an era of extravagance sort of like the one we're in now. There was a big crash but then the country picked itself up again and we had some great years. Those were the days when American believed in itself. I was happy and proud to be painting it.

Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities strong men make them.

Little minds are interested in the extraordinary great minds in the commonplace.

Small minds are concerned with the extraordinary great minds with the ordinary.

The fact that political ideologies are tangible realities is not a proof of their vitally necessary character. The bubonic plague was an extraordinarily powerful social reality but no one would have regarded it as vitally necessary.

It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.

I've had extraordinary good luck with my health other than a broken elbow.

The romantic love we feel toward the opposite sex is probably one extra help from God to bring you together but that's it. All the rest of it the true love is the test.

Hope is some extraordinary spiritual grace that God gives us to control our fears not to oust them.

We can do things the cheap way the simple way for the short-term and without regard for the future. Or we can make the extra effort do the hard work absorb the criticism and make decisions that will cause a better future.

It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for the future none at all. It certainly is extraordinary but it is certainly true.

I find it very easy playing Bond. I think he's hilarious. He gets himself into some extraordinarily funny situations.

I like movies that pop that have a little bit of candy on that freedom to have a little bit of extra fun but are rooted in real behaviour. Rooted in cause and effect never violating reality.

The liberals think government exists to fix what's wrong with America. They find fault with our Constitution our economic model and our core values. We disagree with the premise of their argument. We believe there's nothing wrong with America that an extra dose of freedom won't cure.

Japan is the most intoxicating place for me. In Kyoto there's an inn called the Tawaraya which is quite extraordinary. The Japanese culture fascinates me: the food the dress the manners and the traditions. It's the travel experience that has moved me the most.

Meat is a big deal in my life. I do love breakfast food but I don't think that's extraordinary. I'm a normal American. We love eggs and meat and potatoes and gravy.

The agony of my feelings allowed me no respite no incident occurred from which my rage and misery could not extract its food.

I've always hoped 'Chopped' would telegraph our enormous affection and love and admiration for chefs and food but at the same time we are inflicting extraordinary cruelty on them.

We begin to see therefore the importance of selecting our environment with the greatest of care because environment is the mental feeding ground out of which the food that goes into our minds is extracted.

I'm doing four hours of gymnastics training a day six days a week and then an extra two to three hours in a fitness center as well.

The government is also looking at further benefits including enhanced capital allowances the use of Tax Incremental Finance and extra help from UK Trade and Investment on inward investment and trade opportunities.

The more anxious isolated and time-deprived we are the more likely we are to turn to paid personal services. To finance these extra services we work longer hours. This leaves less time to spend with family friends and neighbors we become less likely to call on them for help and they on us.
