After 'The Fellowship of the Ring,' the films that followed it, instead of having their own unique aesthetic, they all wanted to be 'Lord of the Rings' as opposed to learning from 'Lord of the Rings.'

My sense of humor often gets me in trouble.

I have a sense of humor, and sometimes it gets me into trouble.

Growing up, I was on film sets occasionally, when my dad was acting, so I got to run around and do odd jobs on films like 'Labyrinth' and others... I seemed destined to make films.

It's always Canelo, and it's Mexican Independence Day, so I know that. But I am the champion, and just looking back on that, that is one reason why I hope they'll respect that I'm champion and be fair.

In the end, I think the majority of Romanian society will understand that if we respect environmental protection standards, if we have benefits in taxes, royalties, jobs, we should do what all the modern countries in Europe and beyond are doing to take advantage of their natural resources.

My government has promised to comprehensively respect the independence of the judiciary.

Only together do Europe and the U.S. stand a chance of keeping liberal democracy as the central doctrine for organizing world affairs.

Atlanta embraced us. We have so much respect for them, and they have respect for us.

History repeats itself. So you might wanna pay attention.

We just feel like history repeats itself. You ain't never going to see nothing brand new; you're only going to see when records are broken. And we're here to just set records and set trends and follow the footsteps that have been shown to us.

I feel like we can learn from each other by us, being the young generation, giving knowledge to the older guys.

We gon' be around for a long time.

We just compare our lifestyle to movies so you can relate to them. When I say, 'I bought a carpet from Aladdin so I could finesse and do magic,' that means I had to get me a new whip or I had to get me something in disguise to work my magic, to finesse, to get out of here.

There is no tragedy in missing a putt, no matter how short. All have erred in this respect.

It is the addition of strangeness to beauty that constitutes the romantic character in art.

You're only here for a short visit. Don't hurry, don't worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way.

But really, we also need to learn how to love one another as women. How to appreciate and respect each other.

I cleaned up my act, and I made this rap thing work for me. I thought people would respect me for that. But instead, it's, 'Oh, he's sold all these records, and now he thinks he's all that.'

I definitely wouldn't wish death on anyone.

My mom is from Jamaica, and she was going to school in the morning, and in the evening she was working, and at night she would go to night school and then come in and go to sleep.

I hold grudges, but I can't hate nobody; that's not my nature.

I married her after knowing her eight days, and I was happy. That was my baby. At the same time, with us being so spontaneous, we did it backwards. Maybe she won't admit it, but I will. We should have got to know each other and then got married. The relationship kind of dissolved, but we're still going to be friends. I love her.

Everything was happening on that strip of Fulton Street. And if I wanted Chinese food, if I wanted to play video games, if I wanted pizza, if I had to go to the corner story for a juice, I had to go on Fulton Street.

I've got no respect for any young man who won't join the colors.

I will respect the limits of my experience but that won't stop me from trying to lead by example of my work. Being a good teammate and picking them up on and off the field is a simple goal of mine.

We will ensure that associates continue to possess unsurpassed product knowledge and maintain their dedication to customer service and respect for their colleagues and for the communities in which they work and live.

My commitment to Atlanta and passion for sports and competition make this acquisition a perfect fit for me.

Software eventually and necessarily gained the same respect as any other discipline.

Looking back, we were the luckiest people in the world. There was no choice but to be pioneers; no time to be beginners.

I hope that we continue with exploration.

By deafness one gains in one respect more than one loses; one misses more nonsense than sense.

In all science, error precedes the truth, and it is better it should go first than last.

Nine-tenths of the people were created so you would want to be with the other tenth.

Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he isn't. A sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is.

The whole secret of life is to be interested in one thing profoundly and in a thousand things well.

With respect to the environment in our state and our state's future - in addition to water which is very important here - I think it is crucial for him to make a sincere commitment to energy efficiency, fuel efficiency, by helping us to produce those cars of the future.

The question is what will Mitt Romney do as president if his policy is simply to be hands off and let the government be made so small it can be drowned in a bathtub. In the 21st century global economy, no state alone has the ability to compete against China.

Our strength is not just in the size of our defense budget, but in the size of our hearts, in the size of our gratitude for their sacrifice. And that's not just measured in words or gestures.

From a reality perspective, I'm sure part of that is true, but this is the largest blackout in U.S. history. If that is not a signal that we have got a problem that needs to be fixed, I don't know what is.

As governor, when I visited our troops in Kuwait and Iraq, I served them Thanksgiving dinner. It was a small gesture compared to their sacrifice.

Sometimes leadership is planting trees under whose shade you'll never sit. It may not happen fully till after I'm gone. But I know that the steps we're taking are the right steps.

This is the place where anybody - like an African American kid raised by a single mom - can be president.

If you are tired of partisanship over patriotism, you need to vote for a change in direction.

Everyone needs solitude, especially a person who is used to thinking about what she experiences. Solitude is very important in my work as a mode of inspiration, but isolation is not good in this respect. I am not writing poetry about isolation.

Any knowledge that doesn't lead to new questions quickly dies out: it fails to maintain the temperature required for sustaining life.

I have sympathy for young people, for their growing pains, but I balk when these growing pains are pushed into the foreground, when you make these young people the only vehicles of life's wisdom.

Poetic talent doesn't operate in a vacuum. There is a spirit of Polish poetry.

In the language of poetry, where every word is weighed, nothing is usual or normal. Not a single stone and not a single cloud above it. Not a single day and not a single night after it. And above all, not a single existence, not anyone's existence in this world.

I cannot speak for more than an hour exclusively about poetry. At that point, life itself takes over again.
