I regard sports first and foremost as entertainment so dry documentary narration is not for me.

My heart lies in music and acting however my inspiration comes from adrenaline rush I get from sports... and life.

As a result of Title IX and a new generation of parents who want their daughters to have the opportunities they never had women's sports have arrived.

In the sports arena I would say there is nothing like training and preparation. You have to train your mind as much as your body.

Success is where preparation and opportunity meet.

Obama often criticizes policies that place the interests of the powerful ahead of the powerless. But through his administration's support of abortion rights Obama shows his lack of empathy for society's most powerless.

I can imagine no society which does not embody some method of arbitration.

It seems to me that we're in danger of losing sight of certain basic civic values in society by allowing the growth of a whole generation of people who really have no sense of attachment to society.

The British are supposed to be particularly averse to intellectuals a prejudice closely bound up with their dislike of foreigners. Indeed one important source of this Anglo-Saxon distaste for highbrows and eggheads was the French revolution which was seen as an attempt to reconstruct society on the basis of abstract rational principles.

We live in a very dysfunctional society and this is a very very dysfunctional Administration.

Even the most wretched individual of our present society could not exist and develop without the cumulative social efforts of countless generations.

Stories in which the destruction of society occurs are explorations of social fears and issues that filmmakers novelists playwrights painters have been examining for a long time.

I would argue that we have a generation of young people particularly minorities who are no longer putting up with the kinds of things their parents put up with. They're much more self-confident. It's no longer acceptable to make fun of people because of race or sex. But it has always been present in American society.

We need to develop and disseminate an entirely new paradigm and practice of collaboration that supersedes the traditional silos that have divided governments philanthropies and private enterprises for decades and replace it with networks of partnerships working together to create a globally prosperous society.

If capitalism is to remain a healthy vibrant economic system corporations must participate in taking care of the society and the environment in which they live.

Once the fabric of a just society is undone it takes generations to weave it back together.

Before I do anything I think well what hasn't been seen. Sometimes that turns out to be something ghastly and not fit for society. And sometimes that inspiration becomes something that's really worthwhile.

A first-generation fortune is the most likely to be given away but once a fortune is inherited it's less likely that a very high percentage will go back to society.

The people of Liberia know what it means to be deprived of clean water but we also know what it means to see our children to begin to smile again with a restoration of hope and faith in the future.

We may smile at these matters but they are melancholy illustrations.

I love the live performances and Las Vegas. I also like making films that are being discovered by another generation. Having been a teen idol of the '60s is great because you realize you left your generation with a smile and good memories.

Operationally God is beginning to resemble not a ruler but the last fading smile of a cosmic Cheshire cat.

I think Operation Smile is in more than 22 countries mostly Third World. It just happened that my schedule opened up at the time they were heading to Vietnam.

Jessica Simpson is the youth ambassador for Operation Smile and an episode of The Apprentice featured a team managing a charity concert she put on. Donald Trump came on stage and pledged a donation.
