I find it quite hard to sum up my relationship in a sound bite. I feel that it trivializes it for other people's pleasure. It's an adventure.

The business is all about gush and hype. You never have a bad meeting in L.A.

I used to look like a deer in headlights on the red carpet. You step out of the car and it's bedlam. Everyone's got crazy eyes.

I appreciate a slow-burn romance. In most movies, everyone is just tearing their clothes off in the first scene.

When you're in love, you're so happy that you want to tell people about it. But now I have to censor myself. You need to protect the happiness you have.

I've always been quite a spontaneous person, so I would lean more towards, if you feel it and you know its right, then do it.

Things happen in the way they usually should. I'm a pretty fatalistic person.

I never feel unsafe except for when the majority is on my side.

Don’t believe what you hear about those penguins. A species of lazy waddlers. Their extinction is immanent.

Make a decision and then make it right. There just are no wrong decisions.

While President Bush likes to project an image of strength and courage, the real truth is that in the presence of his large financial contributors, he is a moral coward.

Your angels are ALWAYS with you, every minute of every day.You are never alone. You are always loved and watched-over.

I myself have never called what I write anti-poetry. I also think that my poetry should not be only known as the poetry of Ernesto Cardenal but rather as Nicaraguan poetry.

There are a lot of tactical decisions that, if I could have done them over, I would have.

Joe Biden was first elected to the Senate in 1972 at age 30. Somewhere around 1992, he should have had to go out and get a real job.

I call the Lancashire trade immoral, because it was raised and is sustained on the ruin of millions of India's peasants.

I don't deserve a Songwriters Hall of Fame Award. But fifteen years ago, I had a brain operation and I didn't deserve that, either. So I'll keep it.
