When it came to the stylish and graceful art of ballroom dancing my dad was a king of the clubs a prowling tiger and a wonderfully natural mover.

I never saw my dad cry. My son saw me cry. My dad never told me he loved me and consequently I told Scott I loved him every other minute. The point is I'll make less mistakes than my dad my sons hopefully will make less mistakes than me and their sons will make less mistakes than their dads.

I listened to the radio so I was influenced by everyone from Michael Jackson to Milli Vanilli. But thankfully my dad had a collection of Cat Stevens albums while my mom was listening to jazz.

But there's no substitute for a full-time dad. Dads who are fully engaged with their kids overwhelmingly tend to produce children who believe in themselves and live full lives.

Through the inspiration of Vaclav's words the courage of his dissidence and the integrity of his leadership Czechoslovakia successfully transitioned from an authoritarian state to a free democracy at the heart of Europe.

For as long as this nation has known war we have embraced the heroes it has produced. Americans have rightfully noted the honor and nobility of courage under hostile fire and thanked those who perished in their defense.

Wait for the Lord. Behave yourself manfully and be of good courage. Do not be faithless but stay in your place and do not turn back.

The courage we desire and prize is not the courage to die decently but to live manfully.

More and more Democrats are starting to worry they that they have a more um colorful version of Jimmy Carter on their hands. Obama acts cool as a proverbial cucumber but that awful '70s show seems frightfully close to a rerun.

You can be cool and at the same time respect your woman who will hopefully become your wife who will hopefully become the mother of your kids. America needs to get back to family values.

The truth is - I found myself doing these huge action-adventure movies and um and which are cool man. And I really love doing them. And thankfully I haven't had too much dialogue because if I had I would have really made a mess of it. You know what I mean?

In this great age of communication there a lot of people you can't actually understand. I know everyone tweets and twits and texts and all that but actually we've all got voices and it is awfully nice to hear them and if you can understand what people are saying.

Words and pictures can work together to communicate more powerfully than either alone.

I'm not going to change the world overnight. It's one person at a time and hopefully they're people in positions of power who can help people get in those roles and really truly embrace colorblind casting.

Instead of focusing on that circumstances that you cannot change - focus strongly and powerfully on the circumstances that you can.

Choose your corner pick away at it carefully intensely and to the best of your ability and that way you might change the world.

In times of change learners inherit the earth while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.

It's like once you've seen Tom Hanks win the Golden Globes the Oscars you've seen his wife what kind of car he drives when you watch his movies you can't fully get really lost in them.

What Paris has done right is to make it awful to get around by car and awfully easy to get around by public transportation or by bike.

In L.A. I don't really want to go out because traffic sucks so bad. I'm sorry I'm not going to spend five hours a day in my car so you have to choose where you live very carefully.

Further Take heed that you faithfully perform the business you have to do in the world from a regard to the commands of God and not from an ambitious desire of being esteemed better than others.

It is awfully important to know what is and what is not your business.

Nothing is so intolerable to man as being fully at rest without a passion without business without entertainment without care.

Information technology and business are becoming inextricably interwoven. I don't think anybody can talk meaningfully about one without the talking about the other.
