I bring people on stage with me. It's a good time, and people love to join in on the party. Show me a smile, and I'll show you one back.
You go overseas and people are oppressed and scared and worried but we're not like that... we're more like my films and how people come out at the end of seeing them - they feel good.
Not every innovation in transportation is going to come from government or even a large enterprise. There are smart people out there with tools and skills to come up with great ideas.
These are the same people who believe, in some cases, the federal government should not play any role in providing health care to our people or protecting the environment.
The majority of Taiwan people cannot accept Taiwan becoming a second Hong Kong, nor can we accept Taiwan becoming a local government of the People's Republic of China or a Special Administrative Region of China.
A heck of a lot more accountability comes from individuals or the church doing it than the government, that signs off on helping people at 5 o'clock, because it comes from the heart, not from a badge or a mandate.
As long as enough people can be frightened, then all people can be ruled. That is how it works in a democratic system and mass fear becomes the ticket to destroy rights across the board.
Our society must make it right and possible for old people not to fear the young or be deserted by them, for the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members.
The real thing young people should fear is missing out on those few, true, long-term friendships that make for a richer, happier life.
I was not a Southern California girl. I hated having my photograph taken. I felt shy and embarrassed around famous people.
Some people with blogs are never going to get famous, and they've been doing it for, like, over a year. I feel bad for them.
HBO is really famous for hiring good people and staying out of their way until they ask for help, or need it. And that reputation is earned.
Take away hatred from some people, and you have men without faith.
We certainly love the Muslim people. But that is not the faith of this country. And that is not the religion that built this nation. The people of the Christian faith and the Jewish faith are the ones who built America, and it is not Islam.
Twitter has restored my faith in humanity. I thought I'd hate it, but while there are lots of knobheads, there are even more lovely people. It delights me how witty and friendly most people are.
People's faith, people's beliefs are such a personal thing, and it defies definition. I'm so rarely interested in discussing what I believe or what you believe. I think it's liquid, anyway.
I have my work and my faith... If that's boring to some people, I can't tell you how much I don't care.
Men and women of every faith and good people with none at all sincerely strive to do right and lead a purpose-driven life.
Well, you have to keep your faith in the fact that there are a lot of intelligent people who are actively looking for something interesting, people who have been disappointed so many times.
I'm a believer in belief. Faith is something that works - it causes people to do things, it has results. It's an intangible, indefinable, very real thing. And it moves people, sometimes to atrocity. And sometimes to survival.
People talk about doom-laden scenarios happening in the future: they are happening in Africa now. You can see it perfectly clearly. Periodic famines are due to too many people living on land that can't sustain them.
