I have great respect for the fbi, and i know that there have been some rumors lately that the fbi was disenchanted because of what we were doing in story, or doing a certain take: that's not true. actually the fbi was tremendously enthusiastic about us doing [ j. edgar hoover ] film.

I just kind of had my own impressions growing up with hoover as a heroic figure in the 40s - actually the 30s, 40s, and 50s and beyond - but this was all prior to the information age so we didn't know about hoover except what was usually in the papers, and this was fun, because this was a chance to go into it [ during filming 'j. edgar hoover' ]

There are similarities between absolute power and absolute faith: a demand for absolute obedience, a readiness to attempt the impossible, a bias for simple solutionsto cut the knot rather than unravel it, the viewing of compromise as surrender. both absolute power and absolute faith are instruments of dehumanization. hence, absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.

The president has a duty and a right to oversee the fbi, and you know, he properly delegate the law enforcement to the fbi and try to insulate it from politics. but that's not to curb the president's authority over the fbi. so if he wants to meet with the fbi and give his opinion or even talk about his hopes, if indeed, he said that, he has every right to do so.

Any assassination is an assassination. it's cold, it's terrible. i'm against any capital punishment. only the lord has the right to take away life because he's the giver of life. and assassination stands against democracy, against civilization, against a civilized life of people. alas, the situation in lebanon is very chaotic and many innocent people lost their lives because they have a state within a state, an army within an army and the respect for life is not high enough.

If congress is going to investigate baseball players about whether or not they told the truth, how can we justify giving the most powerful intelligence official, [james] clapper, a pass? this is how j. edgar hoover ended up in charge of the fbi forever.

Similar Quotes

I was always active - i went from baseball to football. i didn't have time to work out.

Through baseball we channel boys desire for exercise and let off their explosive violence without letting them get into the police court.

What if there were no grownups? suppose the whole idea of grownups was an illusion? what if their money was really just playground marbles, their business deals no more than baseball-card trades, their wars only games of guns in the park? what if they were all still snotty-nosed kids inside their suits and dresses? christ, that couldn't be, could it? it was too horrible to think about.

Baseball life is a tough life on the family.
