I didn't think of myself as a tart, but I wouldn't argue with anyone who did
If you were following the [Barack] Obama campaign back then, closely, you could see it had become very close to banking interests. So I think you can't properly understand Hillary Clinton's foreign policy without understanding Saudi Arabia.
I sometimes think God allows Great Britain to be unprincipled for the good of mankind.
~I try to call my mother, Betty, with more regularity because I think, What if Hazel didn't call me for two weeks? I'm able to see her mothering now from a different vantage point.~
I think less is more when it comes to kissing in the movies.
This has to be the most self-centered thing I've ever said, but no, I think you just wanted to vex me.
But looking beautiful isn't, I think, as important as feeling beautiful.
I think it is important to know how to teach new material to help young people grow and learn.
I tend to think of all the songs the same - I give them all kind of equal rights.
And looking at today's music scene, I think it's cool that there are a lot of consumers and fans not limited by what radio and the record companies tell them to buy.
And I think that we're more of an alternative act in that sense, and that flavor comes across to the audience.
There's also, I think more so in the music business and especially for women, this ceiling that people put on you if you have children or a family and decide to spend time with them.
[On daughter Liza Minnelli] I think she decided to go into show business when she was an embryo, she kicked so much.
I think there's something peculiar about me that I haven't died. It doesn't make sense but I refuse to die.
There have been times when I have deliberately tried to take my life... I think I must have been crying for some attention.
Ah, well, do I wish that we lived in a world where gender didn't figure so prominently? Of course. Do I even think about myself as a woman when I go to make art? Of course not.
I think the biggest lesson to be learned is that it is almost impossible to just throw a logo on a video. A lot of people think that if you make a really popular video, I can get Pepsi to put a little logo on there and they will pay me a lot of money. We wanted to create something that wasn't just a "slap a logo on the video."
I do hope some of my work has a long lifetime. A piece that works out well this year may work out very well in twenty years' time as well, but I'm very much thinking about what's the right piece now, at this moment.
Students think they must write down the idea immediately, but I tell them if it's a good idea it'll be in your head in five minutes' time.
I think living the blessed life is the luck of the draw.
I don't think there's any way that war can have a place in peace. I think that peace is the active and difficult resistance to the temptation of war; it is the prerogative and the obligation of the injured. Peace is something that has to be vigilantly maintained; it is a vigilance, and it involves temptation, and it does not mean we as human beings are not aggressive. This is a mistaken way of understanding non-violence.
I do think we need to allow for there to be room for subversive and ironic speech. We need to be able to put out plays in which we make fun of ourselves or in which we interrogate the words that injure us. And maybe give them another meaning.
We need to be I think equally sensitive to the injurious power of certain kinds of speech acts but also to the subversive and possibly liberatory effects of certain kinds of play.
I think something happens only when people find that they are moved with others, find themselves linked or allied in new ways, showing up or speaking out in ways that resonate with one another. That resonating can be very compelling and lead to moving and speaking more emphatically and with sharper focus.
People think you know beforehand when you win an Oscar - I can assure you you don't.
