I love the character of Jaime Lannister. He's just so complex - a character that we love to hate - but it's a lot more complex than hatred. It starts off, and he seems so arrogant and so smug.
I do see a lot of my kids, but sometimes I feel as though we have snatched moments. I turn up half way through something, or I only see her at bedtime. I'd like there to be more.
Life is what you make it: If you snooze, you lose; and if you snore, you lose more.
The older I get, the greater power I seem to have to help the world; I am like a snowball - the further I am rolled the more I gain.
I mean, Ed Snowden was basically saying the same things that Bill Binney and Thomas Drake and other U.S. whistleblowers had said before him. But he came out more publicly, and maybe revealed more. He showed that when the U.S. government said, 'We are not surveilling U.S. citizens,' that was a lie.
To me, respect for human life begins with making it more difficult to obtain an inanimate object that is designed to snuff it out.
As we get further into our career we're figuring out how to become more efficient as artists, and doing so many different things is testament to our cohesiveness as the Roots.
I found my first novel difficult. I don't want to make it sound like it's any more difficult than driving a cab or going to any other job, but there are so many opportunities for self-doubt, that you just kind of need to soldier on.
I think 'Total Divas' has brought the women more mainstream and so many opportunities. However, I've always thought, if I'm supposed to be on the show, I'll be on the show. It's all about timing.
My athleticism was really the core to social acceptance, because in those days the overwhelming number of students came from more of a public school background than I did.
I'd pick a young white guy over an old white guy for president anytime because the younger guy is more likely to have been influenced by the great social changes of the '60s and '70s.
There has been a tendency only to deal with a certain social class when it comes to stories more than 100 years ago.
I've learned over time that human beings tend to want to do more than they have the courage to do or that the social contract will allow them to do.
The fact that he didn't get credit for a while is more the story of social injustice. But his own spirit wasn't driven by that, and wasn't dependent upon that. He just wished he had the cash to go to medical school.
The economic and social problems would tend to become, like the military situation, more and more difficult as time went on and we became more and more isolated.
Of all the public services, education is the one I'm most interested in. You get a more dynamic economy, you deal with most social problems, and it's morally right.
More young people believe they'll see a U.F.O. than that they'll see their own Social Security benefits.
Currently, more than 4.7 million African Americans receive Social Security benefits, and nearly 8 million people with disabilities depend on Social Security for their daily sustenance.
I didn't have any social skills at all, but my mom noticed I was way more vocal when I had a Nintendo controller in my hand. So she'd set up play dates with other kids to come over and play video games.
High testosterone levels have been proven to make men more likely to commit crimes. The tendency in men toward risky behaviour keeps turning up even where socialization is different, and so does crime and delinquency.
