My own image of my work is that I no sooner settle into something than a break occurs. These breaks are always painful and depressing but despite them I see that there's a consistency that holds out but is hard to define.

Despite the encouraging and wonderful gains and the changes for women which have occurred in my lifetime there is still room to advance and to promote correction of the remaining deficiencies and imbalances.

Men are restless adventurous. Women are conservative - despite what current ideology says.

I see a wiser person than when I was younger: having babies and passing 30 were the turning points. What women in their 40s - I am 39 - lack in gorgeousness they make up for in wisdom. I love ageing despite the drawbacks - thinner drier skin.

Despite what the pundits want us to think contested primaries aren't civil war they are democracy at work and that's beautiful.

I like to hide behind the characters I play. Despite the public perception I am a very private person who has a hard time with the fame thing.

Despite my emphasis on technology I do not view laws as inherently evil. My goals are political ones even if my techniques are not. The only way to fundamentally succeed is by changing existing laws. If I rejected all help from the political arena I would inevitably fail.

The U.S. uses most of its oil for transportation. We can limit U.S. demand for oil by requiring automakers to use the technology that already exists to improve fuel economy - technology that the automakers refuse to bring into the market despite societal demand.

I got so passionate about technology. Hacking to me was like a video game. It was about getting trophies. I just kept going on and on despite all the trouble I was getting into because I was hooked.

Despite all our gains in technology product innovation and world markets most people are not thriving in the organizations they work for.

Despite the success cult men are most deeply moved not by the reaching of the goal but by the grandness of the effort involved in getting there - or failing to get there.

Thousands of years ago humans domesticated every possible large wild mammal species fulfilling all those criteria and worth domesticating with the result that there have been no valuable additions of domestic animals in recent times despite the efforts of modern science.

They all matter to me whether I'm working on a Sam Jackson film for a week or I'm the star of my own TV series - I take it all very seriously and I have a healthy respect for the work in general despite the role.

All the different nations in the world despite their differences of appearance and religion and language and way of life still have one thing in common and that is what's inside of all of us. If we X-rayed the insides of different human beings we wouldn't be able to tell from those X-rays what the person's language or background or race is.

Well I don't know if this is true of everyone but I have this relationship with my parents where despite however mature or articulate or grown-up I think I've become as soon as I go home I turn into this petulant 13-year-old especially with the tone of my voice.

I want you to know that despite what you might read at times in the newspapers or see on the television news we have actually been getting a lot of things done the last several months the U.S.-Canada relationship.

We have all loved a guy we know has issues. Despite popular opinions until we give it a final try the relationship will always be in the 'what if' stage.

I guess probably in my time in politics it continued to be affirmed to me that the African-American community despite being subscription television's most valuable customers they are very underserved by cable and satellite television programming options.

The other side of it is that despite all that people reach out to poetry at the key moments in their lives.

My grandmother was a kind of Scarsdale New York society woman best known in her day as the author of the 1959 book 'Growing Your Own Way: An Informal Guide for Teen-Agers' - this despite being a person whose parenting style made Joan Crawford's wire hangers look like pool noodles.

My mom died of cancer when I was really young. I'm not someone who tries to work out their own stuff with a role but I think that happened despite my best efforts to keep myself separate from it.

I was looking to do something non-fiction because I had done a strip 'My Mom Was a Schizophrenic.' I really enjoyed the process of doing that strip despite its subject matter. To do it I'd had to do a lot of research and reading and I figured I'd like to do that again.
