Being pampered is great, but sometimes I like to do those things myself because it's a little therapeutic and gives me some downtime for myself - and I need that.

I'm proud - or really more thankful than anything - for all the work that I've gotten.

With a fresh start, I hope it'll work out good. I know the whole Fox story and how he came over here and had a great year for them. I'm hoping that's what it'll be - fresh start, new faces, new team, new city. I'm looking forward to getting out there.

You're not going to be great at everything. Surround yourself with people that can compliment you so you can work together and then everybody can be successful.

I grew up watching and learning from the ultimate partnership, and that is of my father and late uncle.

I think music is a lifting force, I think love is the lifting force in the human condition. I think you see someone loving on their child, and it moves you, and you can't help it. It rings a bell inside of us that elevates us as human beings, and I treasure that. I think it's one of the few great things about human beings.

I don't like greed, I don't like ignorance. I really don't like anger. But I love love.

If we pursue organic farming as our healthy food style, we can bring down cost of treatment to a great extent.

We are glad to tie up with a humanitarian organization, which is being promoted by Prince Abdul Aziz. This partnership will greatly help in assisting needy renal-failure patients by supplying them equipment, medicines and other medical supplies, while encouraging and supporting scientific research.

A successful entrepreneur can't be afraid of failures or setbacks. An initial setback can be a great opportunity to take a new and more promising approach to any problem, to come back stronger than ever.

Good sense travels on the well-worn paths; genius, never. And that is why the crowd, not altogether without reason, is so ready to treat great men as lunatics.

The appearance of a single great genius is more than equivalent to the birth of a hundred mediocrities.

What's great about documentary, it seems to me, is that it can be experimental filmmaking. You have a license to do a lot of diverse things under the umbrella of 'documentary.'

If you're a journalist - and I think, on some level, I'm a journalist, and proud to be a journalist, or a documentarian, however you want to describe it - part of what I do has to be the pursuit of the truth.

The day that I spearheaded the passage of America Fast Forward... the newspaper of record did not put it in the newspaper; what they put was my breakup with my ex-girlfriend. I took umbrage with that. A great newspaper ought to be printing things that people care about, issues that people care about.

The Golden State has lost its luster. We've got to change our tax system and how we fund government. We're going to have to make it easier to create jobs in California, incentivize manufacturing, really put more in the way of investment in our public school system and our institutions of higher learning if we're going to stay the Golden State.

I got to grow up with a mother who taught me to believe in me.

We love what we love, and shared fandoms bring people of all ages and backgrounds into one great tribe.

I first read Harper Lee's 'To Kill a Mockingbird' as a teen in school, like you did. I read the book alone, eating lunch at my locker, neatly scored oranges my mother divided into five lines with a circle at the top, so my fingers could dig more easily into the orange skin. To this day, the smell of oranges reminds me of 'Mockingbird.'

One of the great lessons I've learned in athletics is that you've got to discipline your life. No matter how good you may be, you've got to be willing to cut out of your life those things that keep you from going to the top.

Ingenuity, plus courage, plus work, equals miracles.

A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea.

The most characteristic mark of a great mind is to choose some one important object, and pursue it for life.

When one by one our ties are torn, and friend from friend is snatched forlorn; when man is left alone to mourn, oh! then how sweet it is to die!

We neither laugh alone, nor weep alone, why then should we pray alone?

But every act in consequence of our faith, strengthens faith.

The greater the difficulty, the more the glory in surmounting it.

We won't have a society if we destroy the environment.

Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.

Ethics or simple honesty is the building blocks upon which our whole society is based, and business is a part of our society, and it's integral to the practice of being able to conduct business, that you have a set of honest standards.

Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself.

Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do.

Fairness is what justice really is.

To force a lawyer on a defendant can only lead him to believe that the law contrives against him.

Abortion is inherently different from other medical procedures because no other procedure involves the purposeful termination of a potential life.

Unless and until our society recognizes cyber bullying for what it is, the suffering of thousands of silent victims will continue.

Research shows that girls look at leadership differently than boys.

Girl Scouts is such an iconic organization that it's easy to overlook how daring an idea it was for founder Juliette Gordon Low to gather those first 18 girls in that troop in Savannah, Georgia. It was 1912, after all, and women wouldn't earn the right to vote for another eight years.

When our bodies are sick and people extend their sympathy, bring us soup, offer up solutions. When our minds are sick, people tend to shy away from you, be afraid, or call you outright crazy. I'm fascinated by the way society and individuals view mental illness, and most of my shorts comment on that.

The control of information is something the elite always does, particularly in a despotic form of government. Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people.

There was a time when nails were high-tech. There was a time when people had to be told how to use a telephone. Technology is just a tool. People use tools to improve their lives.

There used to be this country called the Soviet Union; it's not there anymore. Our technology was better than theirs.

The human condition today is better than it's ever been, and technology is one of the reasons for that.

I was one of the first generations to watch television. TV exposes people to news, to information, to knowledge, to entertainment. How is it bad?

Books and movies are different art forms with different rules. And because of that, they never translate exactly.

Life is about learning; when you stop learning, you die.

In battle, you forgive a man anything except an unwillingness to take risks. Sometimes you have to put it on the line.

The human mind is a dramatic structure in itself and our society is absolutely saturated with drama.

We are still living in the aftershock of Hiroshima, people are still the scars of history.
