“Take it from me, every vote counts.”

CO2 is the exhaling breath of our civilization, literally… Changing that pattern requires a scope, a scale, a speed of change that is beyond what we have done in the past.

The ‘well-informed citizenry is in danger of becoming the ‘well-amused audience’.

The day I made that statement, about the inventing the internet, I was tired because I’d been up all night inventing the Camcorder.

A zebra can not change it’s spots.

Scientists with access to data from Navy submarines traversing underneath the North polar ice cap have warned that there is now a 75 percent chance that within five years the entire ice cap will completely disappear during the summer months.

In digital era, privacy must be a priority. Is it just me, or is secret blanket surveillance obscenely outrageous?

The debate’s over. The people who dispute the international consensus on global warming are in the same category now with the people who think the moon landing was staged on a movie lot in Arizona.

We’re operating this planet like a business in liquidation.

Each and every one of us can make changes in the way we live our lives and become part of the solution [to climate change]

When fear displaces reason, the result is often irrational hatred and division.

Making consumer choices that reward eco-friendly products and companies is a great way to start.

The trouble is that once you see it, you can’t unsee it. And once you’ve seen it, keeping quiet, saying nothing, becomes as political an act as speaking out. There’s no innocence. Either way, you’re accountable.

Any time there is an economic downturn or political strife, lipstick sales skyrocket. If you have a hard day, it’s this $14 thing that lifts your day. I think drag has that same lipstick effect.

A politician is an arse upon which everyone has sat except a man.

We can’t change our rulers, but we can least teach them how to rule us.

It’s a political and manipulative industry. Actors vie for the same roles, movies are snatched away. Have I ever been manipulated? Yes. But I haven’t manipulated anyone because if you think from the heart, you cannot be calculative. I have spent nights crying.

Rather than trying to put an end to Eminem or some other rapper, politicians should think about why they’re rapping. It’s easier to try to censor some kid who’s swearing about poverty than it is to stop the poverty.

The unique thing about our country is that we have Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Parsis, and people of all other religions. We have temples and mosques, gurdwaras and churches. But we do not bring all this into politics. This is the difference between India and Pakistan.

I have no political aspirations. That’s it.
