We live in a culture that doesn't acknowledge or validate human intuition and doesn't encourage us to rely on our intuitive wisdom.

It is only the cynicism that is born of success that is penetrating and valid.

HGH testing is happening in Olympics. The science is there. It is a valid test.

In the spirit of science there really is no such thing as a 'failed experiment.' Any test that yields valid data is a valid test.

'Rocket Science' is really where I fell in love with filmmaking I think 'Camp' was incredible but it was so bizarre and I was trying to find my footing in this world where you don't have an audience for immediate validation.

I think that the majority of messages are validating messages to confirm the survival of conscious. And many times that validation message is negative or sad.

What's sad is that there is an addictive quality to that to believing your own hype to allowing yourself to become validated by others and no longer by yourself. That's the danger of celebrity.

More than in any other performing arts the lack of respect for acting seems to spring from the fact that every layman considers himself a valid critic.

Religion is the sole technique for the validating of values.

Religion works on some people but not on everyone because it says 'Stop thinking and accept what I tell you.' That's not valid for people who want to think and reflect.

I enjoy my relationship with straight men. It's very nurturing. It's very validating to hang out with straight guys and be accepted. So many of us we were not accepted when we were younger by straight persons in high school.

When I play live it's a conversation that we're all having with the song and the audience... their response and relationship with the songs is as valid as my relationship with the songs.

I consider 'Dr. Horrible' a tremendous success. The fact that it won an Emmy I just think lends validity to what we were doing and the point we were trying to make: taking the power into someone else's hands and changing the world.

When we consistently suppress and distrust our intuitive knowingness looking instead for authority validation and approval from others we give our personal power away.

Religious poetry civic poetry lyric or dramatic poetry are all categories of man's expression which are valid only if the endorsement of formal content is valid.

The use and threat of force when world peace is not in danger are no longer valid frames of reference for achieving the ends sought today by sovereign nations.

Listen I think movies serve many different purposes from those movies that are frivolous and just an entertainment to movies that just go to exploring the complexities of the human soul. Everything is valid if it's done with honesty and dignity and I actually do both of those types of movies in my career.

I mean if you have to wake up in the morning to be validated by the editorial page of the New York Times you got a pretty sorry existence.

For me just being how old I am I know I don't want to be a single mom. I really would rather make it a two-person job. But I've also come to terms with not being a mother at all. I'm actually really good with either direction that my life can take as being a valid experience.

If one is going to change the definition of marriage to be quote 'same sex ' then there is absolutely no valid argument constitutionally or rhetorically you can make against multiple people getting married. These are radical social changes.

Straight couples don't have to be monogamous to be married or married to be monogamous. Monogamy no more defines marriage than the presence of children does. Monogamy isn't compulsory and its absence doesn't invalidate a marriage.

That a marriage ends is less than ideal but all things end under heaven and if temporality is held to be invalidating then nothing real succeeds.

The problem for those who assert biblical authority in support of traditional definitions of marriage is that one could with equal validity assert that the lending of money or certain kinds of haircuts are forbidden by God or that slavery and the subjugation of women are authorized by the Lord.

A man's friendships are like his will invalidated by marriage - but they are also no less invalidated by the marriage of his friends.
