It doesn't matter if it's black-and-white. If a movie has a story that is filled with emotion, you can have as much pleasure, and it's very good for cinema.
And all the good you've done will soon be swept away, You've begun to matter more than the things you say.
Dullness in matters of government is a good sign, and not a bad one - in particular, dullness in parliamentary government is a test of its excellence, an indication of its success.
No matter where you stand politically - even if you're unsure of what your political ideology is - it is important to take part in the process of shaping our government.
I've never dated anyone in Hollywood - or anyone famous, for that matter. I don't know that I'm ever gonna write a song that you will know who it's about.
I have come to the conclusion that while a candidate's faith matters, what's most important is how he or she applies that faith.
The figure is still the only thing I have faith in in terms of how much emotion it's charged with and how much subject matter is there.
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.

The philosophical spirit is not satisfied to simply accept what it is told, no matter how much prestige the teller seems to have. This is true even if the teller is a god.
Why is it any more reasonable to believe that God has always been than it is to say that matter has always been?
I write as a matter of need - seven books and God knows how many short stories before anyone published me.
The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.
Wars and elections are both too big and too small to matter in the long run. The daily work - that goes on, it adds up.
The truth of the matter is movies are a reflection of life and violence is a real part of life. I don't think you could make movies exclusively where there was no violence.
No matter if you win or lose, the most important thing in life is to enjoy what you have.
The second you are handed a newborn it is yours. It doesn't matter what body it came out of. I've never felt more strongly about anything in my life.
I may attempt a novel. I think that no matter what you write, it requires being honest with oneself, and you have to pull yourself out of the whirlwind of daily life.
No matter what we're trying to accomplish in life, or what career path we're trying to take, sometimes we get caught up and lose perspective on what's important in life.
