I have a special child and there are not a lot of services around for that special child, and so we picked out a school that would be a very good school for her.
We're so conditioned to believe that milk does a body good and that we need enormous amounts of protein or we'll wither away. Look around, we're not withering - we're fat.
I'm useless scrabbling around at home. I get on everyone's nerves, including my own. I'm not very good at amusing myself.
I'm not a good tourist. I don't like walking around and looking at things. I like being in a city and working and finding out how other people live.
I'm not sure if I can cook. I probably can. But I'm really good at cajoling anybody around me to cook for me.
It's a simple fact: no individual can be good at everything. Everyone needs people around them who have complimentary sets of skills.

You don't turn out as many books as I did then by sitting around, being cozy with the family.
The free nations of the world will not be pushed around by terrorist cowards whose goal is to spread fear and destruction and destroy our liberty and way of life.
'The Road' is about that fear that all parents can have - 'What's going to happen to your child if you're not around?'
I've been around some very famous people, but no one has the effect Maradona has; people tremble in his presence.
The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen.
In securing the future of the planet, we secure happiness for ourselves. One of the aims of the Greens is to turn around the tide of pessimism amongst the young people of the world.
The idea that science is just some luxury that you'll get around to if you can afford it is regressive to any future a country might dream for itself.
