In the '90s, there was scant presidential leadership and insufficient domestic political mobilization for foreign policy grounded in human rights.

Because it started as an offshoot of al Qaeda in Iraq, ISIL has long been subject to U.N. sanctions, and all countries have a legal obligation to freeze its assets and prohibit its business dealings. But countries around the world need to do more to make these sanctions work.

The way governments treat their own citizens matters; it matters because it can have a direct impact on international peace and security - and on our respective national security interests.

Women often don't want to be typecast as the girl that's sad.

Television and movies were our biggest teachers. When we came to the United States, the Vietnam War was just ratcheting up. And so the Asian faces that I saw on the news, they were the face of the enemy. Asian men, particularly, were either small, ineffective, or they were evil. And those messages were deeply, deeply embedded in me for many years.

When depicting Asian people in movies, books, and television or as historical figures, it's more important to humanize them and give them all of the dimensions of humanity, and that includes sexuality. Ascribe the human the full range of human qualities.

I've always been very supported. I've never really been sad. I've just been broke. They are very different things.

I'm always happy when I'm left alone, but if somebody comes and is nice, then we talk.

When I need to cry, I think of very sad things, mostly about animals.

I love all the Pixar movies, and I like 'Happy Feet Two.' 'Cause it has a lot of babies.

Once I was checking to hotel and a couple saw my ring with Blues on it. They said, 'You play blues. That music is so sad.' I gave them tickets to the show, and they came up afterwards and said, 'You didn't play one sad song.'

Listen to the lyrics - we're singing about everyday life: rich people trying to keep money, poor people tying to get it, and everyone having trouble with their husband or wife!

I've never missed a gig yet. Music makes people happy, and that's why I go on doing it - I like to see everybody smile.

Guys should not be allowed to use the Internet all day long. So sad.

I played at being someone else in movies and live theater, and at being myself in life's most intense, fascinating game - the game of love.

I'm not a very serious person. You know how they say that clowns are very funny in public and are really sad at home? I'm really kind of stupid at home and more serious in public.

Sitting down to a meal with an Indian family is different from sitting down to a meal with a British family.

Los Angeles can be a really sad city.

I often say the last role I played that really touched me and where I was able to access what I really am was Bonnie, which is kind of sad when you think how early in my career that was.

I love music and musicians. And seeing great artists dropped from labels was really frustrating and sad to me.

From inside where I live, I feel like I just perceive events in a certain rational way. I often find it sad or poignant, and it may not make me laugh a bit. But I don't mind inventing a portrait that allows others to laugh if that's what they want to do.

My father comes from a generation of film that actors my age don't even know about, which is really sad.
