Not when truth is dirty but when it is shallow does the enlightened man dislike to wade into its waters.

You know I thought we could use a good myth about technology to help guide us through these particular modern waters right now.

Beautiful isle of the sea Smile on the brow of the waters.

The great watershed of modern poetry is French more than English.

Loki in 'Thor' is the most incredible springboard into a sort of excavation of the darker aspects of human nature. So that was thrilling coming back knowing that I'd built the boat and now I could set sail into choppier waters.

I love John Waters. There's stuff in it that's beyond the boundaries of my taste but his movies have always been like that.

I heard the old old men say 'all that's beautiful drifts away like the waters.'

So I went out and bought Hard Again by Muddy Waters. That was a big learning curve. I listened to that album again and again and again. James Cotton was the harmonica player on that album.

It is not when truth is dirty but when it is shallow that the lover of knowledge is reluctant to step into its waters.

The conservative movement today is like that tall ship with its proud captain: strong accomplished but veering off course into the dangerous and uncharted waters of big government republicanism.

As different streams having different sources all mingle their waters in the sea so different tendencies various though they appear crooked or straight all lead to God.

My faith inasmuch as I have any is more like a kind of Joseph Campbell thing and even that frequently finds itself tested to oblivion in siren waters.

Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.

In the rich world the environmental situation has improved dramatically. In the United States the most important environmental indicator particulate air pollution has been cut by more than half since 1955 rivers and coastal waters have dramatically improved and forests are increasing.

Today I can announce a raft of reforms that we estimate could save over 2.5 million police hours every year. That's the equivalent of more than 1 200 police officer posts. These reforms are a watershed moment in policing. They show that we really mean business in busting bureaucracy.

If the Frieze Art Fair catches on I imagine at least two great things happening. First we will once again have a huge art fair in town that isn't too annoying to go to. More importantly Frieze may finally show New Yorkers that we can cross our own waters for visual culture. That would change everything.

I'd do pretty much anything to get back on stage. I'd like to develop a new musical. I nearly had a heart attack when I heard that they're developing John Waters' Cry-Baby because that is so amazing and super and wonderful and I wish that I could be involved. But it's not the right time and I understand that. But I hear things like that and I get that little tingle in my stomach.
