Our fathers worshiped the golden calf. The worst you can say of an American now is, he worships the gold of the calf.
In any democratic, civilized - even non-democratic nations, if you are a nation, it means to say that in our case, if there's a hurricane in Louisiana, the people of Vermont are there for them. If there's a tornado in the Midwest, we are there for them. If there's flooding in the East Coast, the people in California are there for us.
When Californians see something we truly believe in, we say so and act accordingly - without evasiveness or equivocation.
If you're really satisfied with your position on something, you just say, 'Hey;' you just very calmly present something.
Anybody who has something sensible or worthwhile to say should be able to say it calmly and soberly, relying on the words themselves to convey his meaning, without resorting to yelling.
This, to me, is the ultimately heroic trait of ordinary people; they say no to the tyrant and they calmly take the consequences of this resistance.
I have to say, working with Dan Stevens in 'The Guest' and seeing his transformation was incredible. Also Kate Winslet. Off set, she's loud and sweary, but when she walks on set, she has this calmness and is so centred.
I have much to say why my reputation should be rescued from the load of false accusation and calumny which has been heaped upon it.
Experts say that Iraq may have nuclear weapons. That's bad news - they may have a nuclear bomb. Now the good news is that they have to drop it with a camel.
Let me say this: Camel is delicious, but when handled improperly, it's rank.
I can say, with a little arrogance, that I could be an actor, a cameraman, a writer, but composers are the most mysterious people.
Connecting with Canadians isn't about what you say, it's about what you're listening to. It's about what you understand.
I don't buy the argument that there can't be a successful independent candidacy for the presidency of the United States. People who say, 'It can't happen,' are many of the same people who said we'd never elect an African American.
There is no cannibalism in the British navy, absolutely none, and when I say none, I mean there is a certain amount.
You can't say you're going to jump the Grand Canyon and then jump some other canyon.
I mean, first of all, let me say whichever superhero first came up with the idea of wearing a cape, he wasn't really onto anything good. The number of times I'm treading on that damn thing or I throw a punch and it ends up covering my whole head. It's really not practical.
But this is not to say that the society which inflicts capital punishment commits murder.
If it were necessary to give the briefest possible definition of imperialism, we should have to say that imperialism is the monopoly stage of capitalism.
I'm a human being first and foremost, and I have something to say that I think is worthwhile. 'Blue Caprice' is just the second installment of so much more coming.
They say, 'TV is not a captive audience,' but it definitely is. You can easily switch off the bloody television.
