Having children changes you forever, as a writer and as a human being. I hope it's for the better on both counts, but I guess we'll see.
You cannot take one set of issues from one country and apply it to another. They are all different, in terms of history, and the religious compositions of the populations involved.
I feel like I'm part of history being made. I leave Apple board meetings thinking, 'I've got to do a better job.'
Whether you live in a city or a small town, and whether you drive a car, take the bus or ride a train, at some point in the day, everyone is a pedestrian.
I'm not a car guy. The subway gets me where I need to go efficiently and cheaply, and I don't worry about traffic.
The North Pole will be ice-free during summer in years to come, and that itself will put the Arctic Sea basin on a very high risk of... environmental disasters that might be there.
Without international participation, jobs and emissions will simply shift overseas to countries that require few, if any, environmental protections, harming the global environment as well as the U.S. economy.
More than ever before, there is a global understanding that long-term social, economic, and environmental development would be impossible without healthy families, communities, and countries.
I tell my environmental friends that they have won. Every issue we look at from an energy perspective is now also looked at from an environmental perspective.
Under the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star Program, homes are independently verified to be measurably more energy efficient than average houses.
I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend?
If you look at the great frauds of all time, Enron had that phantom trading floor. What Herbalife has is it has phantom or fictitious customers.
Al Gore had no problem taking hundreds of millions of dollars from the government of Qatar to sell his Current TV to Al Jazeera America.
The checks and balances is a way to prevent government from either devolving into an autocratic tyranny or an autocratic mob mentality.
What I would say to a person who is firm in their faith and wants to go into an acting career: It is such a difficult thing to do without compromising your beliefs.
My grandfather was a faith healer and medium, and he always encouraged faith in the unseen. I believe in fortune tellers.
No matter what we face, put your total faith in God, and in time - not our time, but His time - He'll bring us through.
Being afraid to tell the truth because of the projected consequences, whatever it may be, shows a lack of faith and an abundance of fear.
I think that the first thing is you should have a strategic asset allocation mix that assumes that you don't know what the future is going to hold.
It doesn't matter the amount of gore, the amount of shocks that you can have in a movie if the movie's not entertaining, if the story's not entertaining.
In that sense, when a Bush or a Gore, or whomever, goes on David Letterman, that's the news, too.
