Politicians who lack the vision to lead the community on big issues like public transport often hide their inaction by blaming other levels of government when anyone complains.
The crush of lobbyists on Washington and purchase of the media by corporations has created a big business-run government and a worthless press leaving Americans screwed and ill-informed.
I delivered lectures, and I was also a consultant for international companies in finance, both private equity and big venture capital funds.
Sixth grade was a big time, in my childhood, of hoops and friendship, and coming up with funny things.
I've been bitten by a python. Not a very big one. I was being silly, saying: 'Oh, it's not poisonous...' Then, wallop! But you have fear around animals.
To me, my biggest fear is getting a big head, and that is when I get the hammer. Because it's very easy in this game to believe you're something special.
I think I have a big fear of things spiraling out of control. Out of control and dangerous and reckless and thoughtless scares me, because people get hurt.
I wanted to be a political science professor and go to school in Boston. I never wanted to be a big, famous movie star and TV star. It kind of found me.
See, 'A Time to Kill' was the one I got famous off of. Big ka-boom, over one weekend. After that, I did films that I really wanted to do.
My faith plays a big part in who I am: a Christian guy playing pop-rock music. I'm in a pop-rock band, not a Christian band.
I'm about as big a star as the Baha'i faith has got, which is pretty pathetic.
You no longer have much in the way of knowing what to do in a big, epic novel about the future, because nobody knows what the hell is going to happen.
There's a very big part of me that just wants to take all of comics history and toss it on the bonfire. I'd sort of like to get on to the future.
It is funny because the guy who is my boss now, Howard Stern, has a similarity there. He got big being a regular guy. He wasn't the greatest looking guy in the world.
I like to have fun, but I don't think of myself as being funny. But I'm a big jokester, so I make fun of myself a lot!
Love is a deception and a trap. Love is as big a myth that God sits with his flowing white beard in a throne and looks at us.
I don't think God cares a whole lot about the outcome. He cares about the people involved, but I don't think he's a big football fan.
I believe in God. It's a big part of my life. You can bring it up and talk about it without being 'Christian Rocker.'
Legend has it that when God created me, he gave me a big distinctive voice, a lot of boldness and no heart.
My mom used to tell me when I was little, 'When it rains, it's God's manifestation - a big day's waiting to happen.'
I'm trying to throw a big broad net to try to get people interested in God and believe that He's for them and has a purpose.
