Indians mock their corrupt politicians relentlessly but they regard their honest politicians with silent suspicion. The first thing they do when they hear of a supposedly 'clean' politician is to grin. It is a cliche that honest politicians in India tend to have dishonest sons who collect money from people seeking an audience with Dad.

Also to be honest my dad wanted me to be an athlete. And I think all sons want to prove something to their dad. So now aged 35 I want to see what I can achieve physically.

My dad is a really honest hardworking straight guy.

My dad used to say 'You have to become part of the machine to beat the machine ' and there's some validity in it. But honestly even when I'm inside the machine you still see me. I stick out a little bit.

But I honestly don't read critics. My dad reads absolutely everything ever written about me. He calls me up to read ecstatic reviews but I always insist that I can't hear them. If you give value to the good reviews you have to give value to the criticism.

I asked my daughter when she was 16 What's the buzz on the street with the kids? She's going to be honest Dad most of my friends aren't into Kiss. But they've all been told that it's the greatest show on Earth.

The memoirs that have come out of Africa are sometimes startlingly beautiful often urgent and essentially life-affirming but they are all performances of courage and honesty.

With honesty of purpose balance a respect for tradition courage and above all a philosophy of life any young person who embraces the historical profession will find it rich in rewards and durable in satisfaction.

Honest conviction is my courage the Constitution is my guide.

He that fails in his endeavors after wealth or power will not long retain either honesty or courage.

Goodness is about character - integrity honesty kindness generosity moral courage and the like. More than anything else it is about how we treat other people.

One isn't necessarily born with courage but one is born with potential. Without courage we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind true merciful generous or honest.

Sometimes the other characters are too normal and then you start to be brought back to reality but then Luna shows up and she is just so funny and cool and honest and slightly mad and she's all that matters. She is 100% true. She puts on no shows because she is so comfortable with herself.

When you're 14 anything with a sword and a dragon is pretty cool. But when you're 21 and you've read 2 000 fantasy novels you start to realize that some of those books well they weren't really good. OK let's be honest. A lot of them were crap.

I think I've been incredibly raw my whole career. A lot of people spend a lot of time trying to look cool and spend time being guarded and putting up walls. I just never had the time. It seems more honest to say 'Hey this is who I am.'

They have decided to tour under the name of Ten Years After which I don't think is very cool. To be honest they have had to do that as it's the only way they can get any work.

Honestly I'm cool with everyone and people pick up on that. I'd say 'I'm not gay but it's all good.' It's kind of like going to Paris when you don't know the language some Americans get into trouble over there but I'm just like 'Sorry I don't speak French.'

I don't think generally speaking people become writers because they were the really good really cool attractive kid in class. I'll be honest. This is our revenge for people who were much better looking and more popular than us. I was a bit like that I suppose.

I don't mind The Boss. I think he's an honest guy. I have some of his records not all of them. I've met a couple of the E-Street guys and they seem really cool.

Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that once it is competently programmed and working smoothly it is completely honest.

It's about communication. It's about honesty. It's about treating people in the organization as deserving to know the facts. You don't try to give them half the story. You don't try to hide the story. You treat them as - as true equals and you communicate and you communicate and communicate.

There's all these ways to instantly communicate - cars computers telephone and transportation - and even with all that it's so hard to find people and have an honest communication with them.

We need men and women to sit down and talk to each other about sex honestly and openly. That would help us fight Aids so immediately. But our lack of communication is hugely problematic.

But I think it's more that when you're young you're invincible you're immortal - or at least you think you are. The possibilities are limitless you're inventing the future. Then you get older and suddenly you have a history. It's fixed. You can't change anything. I find that a bit disturbing to be honest.
