More From Edward Norton

I laughed but before i could agree with the hairdressers that she was crazy, she said, 'what's the world for if you can't make it up the way you want it?' " 'the way i want it?' " 'yeah. the way you want it. don't you want it to be something more than what it is?' " 'what'st eh point? i can't change it.' " 'that's the point. if you don't, it will change you and it'll be your fault cause you let it. i let it. and messed up my life.' " 'mess it up how?' " 'forgot it.' " 'forgot?' " 'forgot it was mine. my life. i just ran up and down the streets wishing i was somebody else.

She took my hands in her, then, and squeezed them. 'but you stayed where you were meant to be, and you didn't listen to them. well done. that's quality, that is,' and she sounded proud. in that moment i forgot my hunger and i forgot my fear.

I am proud of the decision of this administration to overthrow saddam hussein. i am proud of the liberation of 25 million iraqis. and i'm proud to see an iraq that is now emerging with a stronger government, a truly multiethnic, multi-sectarian government that's about to have its second set of elections, that's inviting private investment into iraq, and that is making peace with its arab neighbors.

Look out how you use proud words. when you let proud words go, it is not easy to call them back. they wear long boots, hard boots; they walk off proud; they can't hear you calling. look out how you use proud words.

The left wants you to believe that true morality is defined by how much money you give the government, how much money you pay the government, how much money the government gets from you, because only the government does good stuff, only the government does good works, only the government cares about people. it's bogus.

When government does, occasionally, work, it works in an elitist fashion. that is, government is most easily manipulated by people who have money and power already. this is why government benefits usually go to people who don't need benefits from government. government may make some environmental improvements, but these will be improvements for rich bird-watchers. and no one in government will remember that when poor people go bird-watching they do it at kentucky fried chicken.

Human beings do not wish to be modest; they want to be as expressive - that is, as immodest - as fear allows; fashion helps them solve that paradoxical problem.

Whether it's fashion or it's home, it's all about style. the clothes we wear send a message about how we are perceived, and our home does the same thing.

I am reminded of a piece of advice my father gave me regarding shoes. ...he said it is better to buy one good pair of shoes than four cheap ones. one pair made of fine leather could outlast four inferior pairs and, if well-cared-for, would continue to proclaim your good judgment and taste no matter how old they become.
