“Make sure that your kids or the kids in your life have an opportunity to share their ideas.”

Recently did an on-line test called ‘What’s Your True Age?’ My result was 50-60 years old.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of family encouragement.

And when school doesn’t offer the same, it’s easy to tune out.

It is imperative to create opportunities for children so that we can grow up to blow you away.

If I had my way, I’d end all wars and poverty.

If you pursued something that you felt strongly about, then I call that success.

As children, we have a tenuous idea of love.

The first thing anyone can do, about any issue, is get informed.

The unsaid message of that endless rack of juniors’ pushup bras?

I wouldn’t call myself a geek, but I do sometimes teach Mommy and Daddy stuff about computers.

The next step is figuring out how you’re going to do it.

CEOs of top companies could probably use a dose of not-asking-for-raise behavior and less self-entitlement.

The challenge is getting everyone to pay attention to it.

Abroad, they have covered pretty much all subjects, explored every possibility, every twist. So similarities between ideas you have and those filmed abroad are quite possible.

Revolutions invariably don’t solve the issue of justice, and in its place, suppression and limiting freedom replaces that idea.

I have no idea what the U.S. intends to do further there and what would be the reaction of the Iraqi people.

I didn’t mind the quiet stretches. It was like we were trying out the idea of being side by side.

In athletics, the idea of possibility is presumed. It’s not ‘if;’ it’s ‘how.’

I think diversity in television is important. It’s not about trying to fill a quota or satisfy some idea of diversity.

One of the things I’ve really gotten past in the last couple of years is the idea of being made uncomfortable by the way things appear, rather than how things are.

Maybe [success] is because I’m in China and I’m more open. Maybe it’s my independent behavior, or because I participated in certain projects. I have no idea.
