The war is coming to the streets of America and if you are not keeping and bearing and practicing with your arms then you will be helpless and you will be the victim of evil.

I guess as long as people think of me for different ages I'll trust their opinion. I remember noticing one year that Michelle Monaghan played 34 and 19 so I've kind of clung to that as my justification that I can be Jake Gyllenhaal's wife and a freshman in college in the same year.

To take a photograph is to participate in another person's mortality vulnerability mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it all photographs testify to time's relentless melt.

With existing technology we can enforce airport security without sacrificing our personal privacy.

Being a mother has been my greatest teacher and also the most self-sacrificing thing I've ever done.

One man practicing sportsmanship is far better than a hundred teaching it.

I'm a morning person because I learned to write my novels while still practicing law. I would get to the office at 6:30 a.m. and write until other people arrived around 9. Now I still do that. I start at 6:30 or 7 and I'll write until 11 then take an hour off then work until about 2 p.m. By then my brain has had enough.

What I couldn't help noticing was that I learned more about the novel in a morning by trying to write a page of one than I'd learned in seven years or so of trying to write criticism.
