Every government is run by liars and nothing they say should be believed.
Every emancipation has in it the seeds of a new slavery, and every truth easily becomes a lie.

I never want to quit playing ball. They'll have to cut this uniform off of me to get me out of it.
You have to have a lot of little boy in you to play baseball for a living.
You gotta be a man to play baseball for a living, but you gotta have a lot of little boy in you, too.
Truth isn't always beauty, but the hunger for it is.
Power is something of which I am convinced there is no innocence this side of the womb.
There is no moral authority like that of sacrifice.
Responsibility is what awaits outside the Eden of Creativity.

Every record that you do man, is sooo different in every way.
To me not one thing is better than anything else, I'm completely proud of everything I've written and recorded.
Rehearsals and this band are two words that don't really go together, kinda like Military Intelligence.
Our music's kind of about taking something ugly and making it beautiful.
And when power ballads come back, we'll get big hair again.

Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting somebody else to do the work.
It is chiefly through books that we enjoy the communion with superior minds. In the best books, authors talk to us, give us their most precious thoughts, and pour their souls into ours. God be thanked for books.
I have expressed my strong interest in the mass of the people; and this is founded, not on their usefulness to the community, so much as on what they are in themselves... Indeed every man (sic), in every condition, is great. It is only our own diseased sight which makes him little. A man is great as a man, be he where or what he may. The grandeur of his nature turns to insignificance all outward distinctions.
All noble enthusiasms pass through a feverish stage, and grow wiser and more serene.
Every man is a volume if you know how to read him.
Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.
I started hustling at 12, my mother hustled ahead of me. I was only allowed to because they knew me.
Two days ago, I was killed in LA. CNN reported that. What if my grandmother had seen that and had a heart attack? People talk about lyrical content. There is no media responsibility. Movies, the porn industry, it has to be across the board or it's ineffective.
I don't have to say 'Rap it up' every two seconds, or 'Don't do drugs' every two seconds. They know they're not supposed to use drugs, and they know they're supposed to put a condom on.

The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation.
The essential ingredient in politics is timing.
Reason over passion.

One person goes off and works in Houston the other person goes off to London and you're on the phone to each other and somebody is paying you to kiss somebody else. It's very bizarre being an actor.
We have a project with Unocal here in Los Angeles, where we as an environmental organization, the oil company, and the state all get together to promote the recycling of used motor oil.
I don't think it's a matter of, do you win the game or not, it's how gracefully do you play it.
How much do you engage yourself in what's truly real and important in life? That's the individual question.
If you take one rivet out of an airplane, it will be all right, it'll keep flying. You take another rivet out of the airplane and it still flies. So what the heck, let's take more rivets out of the airplane, and sooner or later, the airplane drops from the sky.

I think we're a deeper team, a better team, we still have work to do... nothing is guaranteed, but hopefully we got the mentality to play on the road, and we're starting to get our home thing back in order now-if we can do that we'll be just fine.
I just think we want to stay healthy, and I don't think we think about a sense of urgency. We realize how old we are, we realize we've been playing this game for a long time, but you know what? We're not done yet.

High energy creates more energy, more energy, more energy. It kicks off synapses, I guess. It opens up your brain and you think of one thing after another thing, after another. You can really open yourself up comedically, which is fun.
Unless you're flat out dead, you have to think of some other questions like: what's on the other side? It brings up issues of God, or no God. How does he play into this? Or he, or she, or it? How does it all play into this?
There comes a point in your life when you realize how quickly time goes by, and how quickly it has gone. Then it really speeds up exponentially. With that, I think you start to put a lot of things into context; you start to see how huge the world is, and really, the universe.

It is because of me that today the union government has sanctioned special funds for the development of Bihar.
Why should I tell you where I am going to get funds from? If I were to do that then all the vested interests would get alerted. You must be aware that railways are full of such elements and my fight is against them.
When people see how I manage to work my way out of tough situations, it gives them hope in their own life.
I do not rule out the possibility of being prime minister of India one day, but there is still time.
The lower caste people were killed as part of a conspiracy to dismiss my party's government.

It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.

It needs to become as easy to get hold of a condom in a poor country as Coca-Cola.

There is not one female comic who was beautiful as a little girl.
The one thing women don't want to find in their stockings on Christmas morning is their husband.
I hate housework. You make the beds, you wash the dishes and six months later you have to start all over again.
I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw that my bath toys were a toaster and a radio.
She saw a sign saying 'Wet Floor.' So she did!
