A lot has been written about Tony Perkins and myself and I figured Let's get it straight. I had a relationship with Tony for two to three years but those are only threads in the tapestry of my whole life.

In any relationship that comes to an end there's never just a baseline reason why. You say 'Oh I broke up with my girlfriend.' Someone says 'Why?' You say 'Well you got three hours? And then maybe after I tell you my version you've got to talk to her.'

I told my father to stop smoking around the age of two or three years old and he stopped smoking. So the relationship between the kid and the parent is very powerful and if you give the kid the right information it can be very useful to the family.

The thing that I think is the most important is taking moments to express your appreciation to your partner. A thank you or a quick kiss can go a long way toward affirming your relationship and commitment to each other. That's not hard to do even when you're juggling insane careers and three kids.

Filming 'Eclipse' - Eclipse was my favorite book so I was really excited to start filming the movie. I just love that it's the height of the love triangle. 'Twilight' develops Edward and Bella's relationship 'New Moon' develops Jacob and Bella's and in 'Eclipse ' the three of them are physically together.

There's only so far you can take a relationship before you got to get into things that are too serious or over the top. I'm 20 years old. I was in a relationship with a girl I love for three years. Where do you go after three years? Then you've got to start thinking about other things and I'm too young to think about those things.

We have initiated programs for re-entry offenders since some 500 000 to 600 000 offenders will come out of prison each year for the next three or four years. We want to have positive alternatives when they come back to the community.

I try not to tune in to politics until it's two or three months before the election. Till then it's like watching preseason football.

There are three critical ingredients to democratic renewal and progressive change in America: good public policy grassroots organizing and electoral politics.

You know they say the most dangerous person of the world is a member of the United States Congress just home from a three-day fact-finding trip.

Conservatism has had from its inception vigorously positive intellectually rigorous agenda and thinking. That agenda should have in my three pillars: strengthen the economy strengthen our security and strengthen our families.

I'd never really been content with just churning out these slim volumes every three or four years. I've always tried to think of poetry as an active ingredient in the language rather than just something that appears between the covers of thin books.

A group of us started a community center in Santa Monica. We've tried different programs and three have worked really well. A poetry group. Once a week we visit Venice High and talk to girls at risk.

Each memorable verse of a true poet has two or three times the written content.

I was in three academic clubs a huge book worm and the teacher's pet. I was kind of an easy target for bullies.

When you want a break from dogs and you take them to the kennel to the stars no one thinks you're a bad pet owner. But when you have kids you can't drop them off for three weeks without someone calling Child Protective Services!

We have three cats. It's like having children but there is no tuition involved.

A dog teaches a boy fidelity perseverance and to turn around three times before lying down.

One of my great all-time loves in cinema and I've seen it three times is Bondarchuk's 'War and Peace.' Not a lot of people may have seen that film. It was made during the Soviet era.

We belong to the camp of peace. We believe in peace. We believe that our one God wishes us to live in peace and wishes peace upon us for these are His teachings to all the followers of the three great monotheistic religions the Children of Abraham.

Imagine the peace symbol. The peace symbol has three pieces in it. One piece is emotion that's your body. Another piece has spirit in it that's your fuel. Another piece has intellect in it and that's your steering wheel. You can never overdo the fuel that goes into the body which is the emotions and the steering wheel to drive it.

And so at the age of thirty I had successively disgraced myself with three fine institutions each of which had made me free of its full and rich resources had trained me with skill and patience and had shown me nothing but forbearance and charity when I failed in trust.

My three Ps: passion patience perseverance. You have to do this if you've got to be a filmmaker.
