Ich habe genauso gelernt wie ein Affe - indem ich meine Eltern beobachtet habe.
The great thing about being a print journalist is that you are permitted to duck. Cameramen get killed while the writers are flat on the floor. A war correspondent for the BBC dedicated his memoir to 50 fallen colleagues, and I guarantee you they were all taking pictures. I am only alive because I am such a chicken.
Der Tag muss kommen, an dem es keine Überraschung mehr ist, wenn eine Frau in einer gehobenen Stelle arbeitet.
The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it.
They are just really stupid people in Hollywood. You write them a script, and they say they love it, they absolutely love it.

I think there are still unanswered questions about Benghazi. I think there are unanswered questions, and they could be easily answered. But I think they need to be answered.
There are those who would draw a sharp line between power politics and a principled foreign policy based on values. This polarized view - you are either a realist or devoted to norms and values - may be just fine in academic debate, but it is a disaster for American foreign policy. American values are universal.
Ich kann es kaum erwarten, nach Berlin zurückzukehren und im legendären Steffi-Graf Stadion aufzuschlagen.

To me, it's always good to retain a sense of wonder and never good too big for life, like you've seen it all before.
I love a girl with a good sense of humour, who is confident but who has a sweetness to her - that melts my heart.
It was always a dream as I was growing up. I would watch movies, mostly American movies, and be so engrossed in those stories, all I wanted to do was be there. I wanted to be part of that romance or that fantasy or be that warrior or that struggling soul who finally makes it good.
Wir haben einige sehr beunruhigende Dinge gesehen. Die Türkei hat versprochen, dem nachzugehen. Es gibt keinen Platz im 21. Jahrhundert für Völkermord, ethnische Säuberungen und Kriegsverbrechen.

It's not easy to leave your hometown and your family and your support system and come out to Los Angeles to - to pursue a dream where the odds are not in your favor.
I never was that boy who loved gangster films, but when I was growing up, I was obsessed with the detective Dick Tracy. It was one of my favourite movies as a kid, and he really inspired me. I would have loved to be part of that golden age of Hollywood in the 1940s. It made me want to become an actor.
How can you be content to be in the world like tulips in a garden, to make a fine show, and be good for nothing.
There is but One God. His name is Truth; He is the Creator. He fears none; he is without hate. He never dies; He is beyond the cycle of births and death. He is self-illuminated. He is realized by the kindness of the True Guru. He was True in the beginning; He was True when the ages commenced and has ever been True. He is also True now.
I bow at His Feet constantly, and pray to Him, the Guru, the True Guru, has shown me the Way.
