An education that does not teach clear, coherent writing cannot provide our world with thoughtful adults; it gives us instead, at the best, clever children of all ages.

Far from failing in its intended task, our educational system is in fact succeeding magnificently, because its aim is to keep the American people thoughtless enough to go on supporting the system.

You can shoot the tiger, or stay out of his way, but you cannot pronounce him a vegetarian.

Everybody puts importance in money on a film set.

When I started racing my father told me, 'Cristiano, nobody has three balls but some people have two very good ones.'

There's great release, really, in not seeing into the future.

Good. If you checked your e-mail every five minutes, or keep texting and Tweeting in the middle of our conversation, I might snap your neck out of sheer principle.

I play hard. So the critical stuff doesn't surprise me or bother me.

Music is the perfect type of art.
