I do believe sometimes discipline is very important. I'm not just lying around like a lazy cow all the time.

My father wasn't around when I was a kid and I used to always say 'Why me? Why don't I have a father? Why isn't he around? Why did he leave my mother?' But as I got older I looked deeper and thought 'I don't know what my father was going through but if he was around all the time would I be who I am today?'

People say that if you find water rising up to your ankle that's the time to do something about it not when it's around your neck.

And I think it's that time. And I think if you just step aside and Mr. Romney can kind of take over. You can maybe still use a plane. Though maybe a smaller one. Not that big gas guzzler you are going around to colleges and talking about student loans and stuff like that.

I like Mitt Romney as a person. I think he's a dignified person. But I have no common ground on economics. He doesn't worry about the Federal Reserve. He doesn't worry about foreign policy. He doesn't talk about civil liberties so I would have a hard time to expect him to ever invite me to campaign with him.

Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.

We praise a man who feels angry on the right grounds and against the right persons and also in the right manner at the right moment and for the right length of time.

A round man cannot be expected to fit in a square hole right away. He must have time to modify his shape.

Working on 'Gossip Girl' was a fantastic experience. It was my first real gig and I'm thankful for it - I got to learn a lot. I'm glad I got to explore getting comfortable in my own shoes in the background on a show like 'Gossip Girl.'

I think there is a difference between Slate and Salon. I think we both serve important functions on the Internet. As more and more Websites disappear I'm thankful Slate is still around because it makes things less lonely.

The 'Night Train' has already been a crazy ride for me. We flew around making TV appearances and stadium announcements all over the country fueled by little more than coffee and adrenaline... so many fans jumped on board with us and I couldn't be more thankful.

Being a teen can be tough. Just try to surround yourself with really good friends that really have your back and also be a really good friend to those who really care about you. If you're not sure about certain things talk to your friends that you trust and your family.

The Teen Challenge ministry was born out of those humble early days of ministry. It now includes over 500 drug and alcohol rehab centers around the world even in Muslim countries. These include homes for girls and women addicts and alcoholics all which are reaching many.

Being around some of the bright lights of the technology world and having them expect great things helps you sit down and do it seriously.

Computer technology is so built into our lives that it's part of the surround of every artist.

I can't get my head around the fact that the technology of the first two movies which are forty years prior to Star Wars is so much better than any technology they had in Star Wars!

Spin Me Round was number one all over the world everywhere. It changed the face of pop music no question. We took technology further than Trevor Horn.

While there have been terrific advances in the state of technology around heuristics behavior blocking and things like that technology is only a part of the approach to solving the problem with the more important aspect involving putting the right process in place.

The technology is just so far gone. It's just like back in the day you needed a suitcase just to have a cell phone. The battery was so heavy it was like carrying a gallon of soda around with you all day.

Agency by agency we frequently have lost a bit of ground at least to inflation-but had it not been for the efforts we've made to educate people about the importance of science technology and advanced education those predictions very well might have come true.

So the major obstacle to the development of new supplies is not geology but what happens above ground: international affairs politics investment and technology.

The federal government... knows how to put a missile in someone's room half way around the world with technology. Why don't we use some of that technology to save some lives here in America?

Most people are really stunned to find out that the technology has been around for more than 100 years and that the diesel engine was in fact invented to run on vegetable oil.

We know that al Qaeda is seeking radioactive materials and technology to launch a devastating attack and that hundreds of radioactive sources have been lost or stolen in the U.S. and around the world.
