I know the best moments can never be captured on film, even as I spend nearly half my life trying to do just that.

I don't care if you want to hunt, I don't care if you think it's your right. I say, sorry, you are not allowed to own a gun, and if you do own a gun I think you should go to prison.

Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America...

I just want to say something. 655,000 Iraqi civilians are dead. Who are the terrorists?

The Second Amendment is not really a right.

I act irrationally, I defy the odds, I engage when others would run. I look for trouble, I seek chaos, it is a burden.

Don't fear the terrorists. They're mothers and fathers.

I think there should be a law - and I know this is extreme - that no one can have a gun in the U.S. If you have a gun, you go to jail. Only the police should have guns.

I'd love to be a dead body in the emergency room and have George Clooney go, 'This one's gone!' while he puts a sheet on me.

I've been on every diet in the world. I've been on Slim-Fast. For breakfast you have a shake. For lunch, you have a shake. For dinner, you kill anyone with food on their plate.

I'm not going to let my life revolve around losing weight. I have other things to do.

It is one of the strongest bonds, I think, that can spring up between people: sharing a passion for certain books and their authors.

If you look at my characters as a group, they all have a different relationship with the way that places can signify emotion in them - and the way those bonds can be shattered.

Fortune pays you sometimes for the intensity of her favors by the shortness of their duration. She soon tires of carrying any one long on her shoulders.

The sun looks different from when it rises to when it sets.

There's nothing funnier than getting a death threat via MySpace. Why don't you just write it in a children's birthday card.

I will not cut benefits. I want to enhance benefits for low-income workers and for women who have been disadvantaged by the current Social Security system.

There's no such thing as "just a domestic".

Life is too short to be miserable.

Emotions. Swelling waves that we are so often powerless to navigate. Is there some meaning to them? Of course, you just have to learn how to properly manage them.

And yet,to say the truth, reason and love keep little company together nowadays.
