I do the very best I know how - the very best I can; and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.
Heaven knows where I'll end up - but it's a safe bet that I'll never be at the top of anything! Nor do I particularly care to be.
Demanding an end to partisan bickering on foreign policy is not an unrealistic requirement.
Instead of following through on their promise to concentrate on jobs, Republicans have attacked seniors, working families, women, and the most vulnerable among us. They have pursued an extreme agenda that would end Medicare as we know it and cut Social Security benefits in order to continue giving tax breaks to Big Oil and millionaires.
Generally my typical books have lots of twists and turns a big surprise ending and then usually another surprise at the end and ideally, as in Garden of Beasts, we get to the very end and we find at the last few pages that there's yet another surprise.
Einstein's theory of relativity does a fantastic job for explaining big things. Quantum mechanics is fantastic for the other end of the spectrum - for small things.
When we talk my biggest influence, I have to say Van Gaal. He threw me in the deep end.
We call a man a bigot or a slave of dogma because he is a thinker who has thought thoroughly and to a definite end.
I love bikes. I used to own one, but I fell off it when I was younger and that was the end of my bike riding days until now.

There was a moment when we were casting 'Groundhog Day' when Bill Murray was not at the top of my list. He'd been getting crankier and crankier. By the end of 'Ghostbusters II', he was pretty cranky. I thought, 'Do I want to put up with this for twelve weeks?'
I went to an ordinary primary school, and then I started performing in a show called 'Billy Elliot' on the West End, and that was sort of my drama school.
I was never a joiner. I tried - I had people I admired and liked and wanted to hang with, but I ended up starting a theatre company and that took me back to Chicago... I guess I wasn't a scenester in the end. Something must have worked out right, as I'm still here - but I'm only a binge socialite.
The term bipartisanship, that's a means to an end. That's not something that I think you run on. I think you run on solutions.
Presidents should do whatever possible and practical to encourage an environment of cooperation and bipartisanship. And they should maintain a certain level of decorum, diplomacy and decency. But, at the end of the day, presidents get elected to enact change.
The life of an uneducated man is as useless as the tail of a dog which neither covers its rear end, nor protects it from the bites of insects.
As much as the South African racist regime is prepared to fight to the last man, so are we determined to fight to the bitter end.
I will see this game of life out to its bitter end.
When I'm 70 or 80, I'm still going to be doing good climbs. It's going to be fun to the bitter end.
The longer you wait, the less fun. If you wait until the bitter end, the whole economy can be destroyed.
