I do believe that God blessed me in life with a wonderful family, a successful career, and a loving marriage, and remain thankful for that blessing.
I was raised on the values of speaking up and making a positive difference in a very political family that believed in the importance of public service.
I do not believe you have to be an elected official to help 'change the world.' In fact, maybe it is easier from the outside.
I have never met a geologist or leading scientist who believes adding more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere will have any significant effect on climate change.
In fact, I don't believe I'm guilty of any crimes, but I've always been drawn to and fascinated by physical, sexual and psychological change, and there's an erotic aspect to that.
I think that's the greatest gift one can have: point of view. You know? I've come to believe that if you have a bad memory of something, change it.
I do strongly believe myself that members of the government who sit in the House of Lords should be accountable to the elected House because otherwise there is a democratic deficit, and that is wrong.
I certainly believe in limited government but protecting children against injury abuse is certainly inside my sphere of things that the government should do.
I don't think you could change my father; he is a very strong character. He believes totally in honesty.
I came up poor. My mother only had a fourth-grade education. My dad didn't have any education at all. But they were very structured. They worked hard. You know, they didn't complain. They didn't murmur. And they believe in the Christ.
Sex education may be a good idea in the schools, but I don't believe the kids should be given homework.
But what I really believe is education is a key to pretty much everything - prosperity, economics, peace, stability.
I truly believe that God has given us few brain cells, and you have to direct them to the right things that make you happy.
The God I do believe in is the God who doesn't care: James Joyce's God who stands back, paring his fingernails.
No I'm not a great believer in getting back over things and saying if only, or if, or buts because I don't think we actually get anywhere on that.
I don't believe that there's a good guy and a bad guy. Unless it's like Superman or Batman, there is no good guy and bad guy.
The belief that the good in American society will finally win out... I don't believe any more.
I honestly believe there are good things happening in this world, and I'll spend most of my time trying to find them and bring them to light.
If you're a woman, just make a freaking good movie. I don't believe in the women who say, 'It's too hard, I'm getting shot down.'
If someone has been bad to me, I believe in being good to that person. It's my way of getting back. Because that person is going to feel guilty about it.
I do believe that every person has an equal opportunity to be a good and wise judge regardless of their background or life experiences.
