It seems to me that our presidential elections have turned more into a popularity contest than a real analysis about who really should be President of the United States.

Idealism loses to pragmatism when it comes to winning elections.

I was a volleyball player as a kid. I played volleyball all the time.

I have absolutely no musical talent of my own!

I don't think there is anything more bitter in American politics than a close election.

I love the idea of a movie hero in a thriller who is able to get ahead by just his brilliance, and not with a gun or by being an action hero.

I've found that sitting around and obsessing about projects moving forward, when there's actually nothing I can do about it, at a certain point, is really counter-productive.

My goal isn't so much genre, or fact-based or not fact-based. I just want to work on projects that I think could be great.

Put your head down and work hard. Never wait for things to happen, make them happen for yourself through hard graft and not giving up.

At times, non-co-operation becomes as much a duty as co-operation.

I'm cool. I don't need to be skinny. I like to be strong.

At every moment, Love's voice talks to us from left and from right. All we have to do is to know how to listen.

Wearing hats has become like fine art for me.
