From cell phones to computers quality is improving and costs are shrinking as companies fight to offer the public the best product at the best price. But this philosophy is sadly missing from our health-care insurance system.

That said the question remains: how to strike the balance between free speech and mutual respect in this mixed-up world both blessed and cursed with instant communication? We should not fight fire with fire threats with threats.

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.

Bill Gates is a relative newcomer to the fight against global warming but he's already shifting the debate over climate change.

The fight is always the same within the Democratic Party isn't it? The more things change the more they stay the same.

I like to change characters and then slowly I believe the audience treat me as like an actor who can fight. It's not like an action star.

I was away from the front lines for a while this spring living with other troops and considerable fighting took place while I was gone. When I got ready to return to my old friends at the front I wondered if I would sense any change in them.

No matter how many modern parts I do people still refer to me as Mrs. Costume Drama. Fight Club is a studio pic and I've done very few of those. I've got a feeling it's going to change things for me.

I don't believe that if I came out as bisexual the world will change. But it's really important for people to be truthful about who they are and fight for equality. We need to help the world usher itself into the next phase.

A lot of people think Formula One isn't a sport because everyone drives a car when they go to work in the morning. But we're pulling up to six G on a corner or during breaking which is almost like being a fighter pilot. So we have to do a lot of work on our neck muscles.

When you're in a car which can win every race or fight for a win every race that is pressure.

Life is a gamble. You can get hurt but people die in plane crashes lose their arms and legs in car accidents people die every day. Same with fighters: some die some get hurt some go on. You just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you.

What's so touching is the way we fight the war right until the moment our business is taken care of and then we turn on a dime and we immediately start taking care of people. It's like a shock and aw shucks campaign.

I've set the model of showing fighters how they should conduct their business.

And then there's all these other creeps that surround your band and suck off you like leeches and try to manipulate you and your business. You have to watch like a hawk. I'm always ready to fight. I see it very much as a battle.

I have been and will go on fighting that damnable dirty rotten business with all the power at my command.

I learned you have to fight for yourself in the picture business.

The war is dreadful. It is the business of the artist to follow it home to the heart of the individual fighters - not to talk in armies and nations and numbers - but to track it home.

Mental fight means thinking against the current not with it. It is our business to puncture gas bags and discover the seeds of truth.

For my birthday I got a humidifier and a de-humidifier... I put them in the same room and let them fight it out.

I stood up as best I could to their disgusting stupidity and brutality but I did not of course manage to beat them at their own game. It was a fight to the bitter end one in which I was not defending ideals or beliefs but simply my own self.

The U.S. Armed Forces are the best trained best equipped fighting forces in the world.

No matter how good you are at planning the pressure never goes away. So I don't fight it. I feed off it. I turn pressure into motivation to do my best.

But one of the things I learned is that when you fight for something you believe in and you tell the truth and you do your best you can always hold your head up high and no one can take that away from you.
