“When you believe in something, fight for it. And when you see injustice, fight harder than you’ve ever fought before.”

The worst lies in life are the ones we tell ourselves.

Don’t go to eighth grade…don’t talk about something old…don’t bring up old memories that have nothing to do with who we are now. THIS is all that matters! TODAY.

Today, I don’t believe in destiny. But I do believe in history…There’s nothing more powerful than history.

There is no better place to plot the death of a character than when you’re miserable and working out.

I tend to do something for two years then move on to something new. Yoga, then biking, then weight lifting, then back to biking. The moment it feels like a rut, I switch and search for a new love. It’s like having a midlife crisis, but without the new wife or cheesy BMW.

Women are not weaker. Read that again. Women are not weaker. They are just as strong, just as resolute, just as creative, and are filled with just as much potential as any man.

No amount of reading or memorizing will make you successful in life. It is the understanding and application of wise thought which counts.

I love when I teach my son a good lesson. But I love it even more when he teaches me.

Here’s what I love: I love sitting at my desk, staring at the blank screen, and beginning that conversation with my imaginary friends.

Tell your story. That’s the secret of immortality. The one true way to live forever.

But to me, the most important page in my daughter’s book is the last one – because it’s blank. It says, “Your Hero’s Photo Here,” and, “Your Hero’s Story Here.”

Every life has forks in the road. And sometimes, the tines of that fork stab deep.

My worst moments as a parent have been much like my greatest moments as a parent: the product of complete and perfect accident.

As I tell my daughter, when you want something in life – no matter how impossible it seems – you need to fight for it.

Haven’t you ever played Uno?… Sometimes you have to lose all your cards to win.

Sharing education, sharing a book…that’s what changes the world.

[It is important] to have stability and to have security, which means humanitarian equals fighting terrorists. You cannot talk about humanitarian aid and supporting the terrorists at the same time. You cannot, you have to choose.

As long as you fight, you cannot lose… if you leave everything out there, it doesn’t matter if you win or lose. To me you can never lose.

Why would Senator Allen want to oppose saving money for the state? Its simply another example of Republicans fighting the governor tooth and nail against any measure where she might be able to turn the states budget around.

Everybody knows it hurts to grow up…and we’re still fighting it.

It’s not about me, again, this fight is not my fight, it’s not the fight of the government ; it’s the fight of the country, of the Syrian people.

Life’s full of lots of dream-stealers always telling you you need to do something more sensible. I think it doesn’t matter what your dream is, just fight the dream-stealers and hold onto it.

If a person wants to be of any use to himself, he better insist on getting his fair share of beauty and pleasure, and if there’s something about the system that’s keeping him from getting his share, then I think he’s well within his rights to fight to change that.

I don’t have fights with actors. In absolute honesty, I’ve never fought with any actor ever.
