I will continue to fight for legislation that forces congress to read the bills! i will fight for a vote on my bill that calls for a waiting period for each page of legislation. i will continue to object when congress sticks special interest riders on bills in the dead of night! and if congress refuses to obey its own rules, if congress refuses to pass a budget, if congress refuses to read the bills, then i say: sweep the place clean. limit their terms and send them home!

Once you accept the fact that people have 'individual choices' and they're 'free' to make those choices. free to make choices means without being influenced and i can't understand that at all. all of us are influenced in all our choices by the culture we live in, by our parents, and by the values that dominate. so, we're influenced. so there can't be free choices.

We [christians] have the dilemma of using a symbol system that was not made for our worldview, to give our worldview... i think the thing we're waiting for is a genius to come forth who can either make a new symbol system which is still modern, or more properly, as symbol systems don't come overnight, a group of people to modify the symbol systems of our day, so that we can use them for our christian message without a disadvantage.

A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. a man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. a man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.

A chess master can keep track of more choices than the number of stars in the galaxy within an instant, but these are people that have truly learned and mastered the choices that they have and how to deal with those choices over a very, very long period of training, so essentially what they're really doing is ruling out all the irrelevant choices and only zeroing in on the most relevant, useful choices at the moment.

I wouldn't be honest if i didn't say my mom. apart from the fact that she's my mother, she's a brilliant comedian and a force as a producer. she paved the way for women to produce and star in their own films, and to balance that with being the matriarch of our family is really inspiring.

I don't know if you've ever seen some of the sidney lumet movies, like dog day afternoon [1975] or network [1976]. they're real events that happen in real time, and there are all of these different characters experiencing the same thing in different parts of the movie ... i am so bad at explaining my films. but it's in the world of finance and the world of media, and how they connect. it was a big undertaking. a big, mainstream movie, which stars julia roberts and george clooney. but for me, it's really just a small story about character and people.

I know a planet where there is a certain red-faced gentleman. he has never smelled a flower. he has never looked at a star. he has never loved any one. he has never done anything in his life but add up figures. and all day he says over and over, just like you: 'i am busy with matters of consequence!' and that makes him swell up with pride. but he is not a man - he is a mushroom!

I came to california and got signed at a young age. and it's not like you see in the movies, where you start rubbing shoulders with timbaland and pharrell, and you become a giant pop star.
