First and foremost I am a commercial writer and I hope to entertain people. But having said that I'm in love with the relationship between humans and dogs and the more I learned about what our military working dogs are doing I wanted to at least share with people what an important role these animals have in all our lives.
If you're a Christian you don't sit there and worry about what somebody else is doing if they're happy and they're committed in a relationship.
I record all of my music with authentic instruments in a studio before we start editing doing many many versions. The music shapes the film as we edit so it has an organic relationship to the content.
If you're doing an interview you need conversational tension. After you talk to them you're not going to have a relationship with them they're not going to like you they're not going to be your friend.
In my relationship I was giving myself away to make the relationship better but in actuality wasn't doing better by doing that. I became less of a man.
So I just had to step up how I was doing it and the moment that I stepped up and the moment I focused all my energy on that is when things started to happen. So there's a direct relationship between my inspiration and my output.
I am an optimist about the UK. We have been involved in trade with our European partners which we will always be doing whatever this relationship is. We are a member of the EU. That gives us benefits. But we have to figure out where that is going. In the world we are a global trader already.
What we have now is doctors who are actually better technically at what they're doing in their specialty than 30 or 40 years ago but we lost the relationship when the doctor would look people in the eye and say 'I care about you. We can do this together.'
The establishment wonders why we can't get more of the black vote. It's because it's not doing the things necessary to establish a deeper relationship with the black community. Most black people don't think alike. Most black people just vote alike.
When you think about it we actors are kind of prostitutes. We get paid to feign attraction and love. Other people are paying to watch us kissing someone touching someone doing things people in a normal monogamous relationship would never do with anyone who's not their partner. It's really kind of gross.
You don't repair that relationship by sitting down and talking about trust or making promises. Actually what rebuilds it is living it and doing things differently - and I think that is what is going to make the difference.
I consider 'Dr. Horrible' a tremendous success. The fact that it won an Emmy I just think lends validity to what we were doing and the point we were trying to make: taking the power into someone else's hands and changing the world.
I like doing things where I can get dirty work with my hands and use power tools. Last weekend I did some grouting.
I've become invested with this symbolic power. It really does transcend what I'm actually doing and what I actually deserve.
O! what a Godlike Power is that of doing Good! I envy the Rich and the Great for nothing else!
Doing the right thing has power.
It's being willing to walk away that gives you strength and power - if you're willing to accept the consequences of doing what you want to do.
Liberty is not the power of doing what we like but the right to do what we ought.
I love being a wife and homemaker - because it's my choice. My husband doesn't expect me to do it. I don't mind doing things for him because he does so much for me we both feel that way so there is no power struggle.
A bad book is the worse that it cannot repent. It has not been the devil's policy to keep the masses of mankind in ignorance but finding that they will read he is doing all in his power to poison their books.
Liberty consists in the power of doing that which is permitted by the law.
To achieve you need thought. You have to know what you are doing and that's real power.
We found out tonight how important and how crucial momentum swings can be. I thought we were playing very well. We were doing a lot of positive things but then we lost the puck two times in our zone and things swung their way. You can't afford to give teams momentum.
I don't know why they're doing it. I have to assume that their motives are positive not negative. But they don't understand the severity of the problem in this state.
Flaming enthusiasm backed up by horse sense and persistence is the quality that most frequently makes for success.
