I've kind of blocked it out, but a good friend affectionately reminded me that yes, I was a dork. I was not a cool kid in high school.
Now it is evident that a little insight into the customs of every people is necessary to insure a kindly communication; this, joined with patience and kindness, will seldom fail with the natives of the interior.
I just kind of change, constantly, what my focus is. So whatever is stimulating me or inspiring me at the time is what I focus on.
Everybody wants to get along with everyone else in the sandbox. I'm that kind of kid, you know what I mean? That will never change about me.
Many, many, many small moves of many kinds can bring a way to manage change. The theory can come later.
I would like to state that my personal opinions are that the people of every country should decide by themselves what kind of government they want.
There is no government in Europe where ministers go through that kind of confirmation process, which in fact is modeled on the way the U.S. cabinet members are confirmed.
The government of Israel doesn't like the kinds of things I say, which puts them into the same category as every other government in the world.
Every citizen has to figure out what kind of government he or she wants.
I really love being onstage - that's kind of home base - but I love the camera, too. I love it all.
What kind of moron would go to work for half the amount of money, when they could sit at home and collect what's written in a contract?
I don't shop online, but my wife buys everything at home. We buy sea crabs, fresh crabs, all kinds of things.
There is no substitute for kindness in the home. This lesson I learned from my father. He always listened to my mother's advice. As a result, he was a better, wiser, and kinder man.
I'm kind of a Luddite myself. I've got a bunch of typewriters at home. I'm a big fan of old technology.
I never felt I had the kind of relationship with Magic that I could just pick up the phone and call him at home.
But then there are magical, beautiful things in the world. There's incredible acts of kindness and bravery, and in the most unlikely places, and it gives you hope.
I'm very much an optimist. I don't think I could do my work if I didn't believe there was some kind of hope for humanity.
I hope people remember me for the kind of person that I am, not because of what I do.
In the kind of world we have today, transformation of humanity might well be our only real hope for survival.
I think I am missing a gene that most people have to enable them to feel happiness about success and these kind of things.
False happiness renders men stern and proud, and that happiness is never communicated. True happiness renders them kind and sensible, and that happiness is always shared.
