Uncle Brett had a definite vision that he was after, I don't think having a famous father affected him much.

I'd definitely rather be rich than famous.

I was definitely not the kid that just wanted to be famous for no reason whatsoever and then happened to find comedy. Fame and all that stuff have always been slightly terrifying to me, and it makes me very anxious.

If you took some famous religious leader, for example, and said it would be nice to clone them indefinitely so you have a dynasty of leaders, my own guess would be that each time the cloning takes place, they would become more and more defective, presumably mentally defective and subsequently worse.

If you ever get rich and famous, by definition you are special. You have done something special, and therefore you start to behave special. Then if the floor drops out, and you become down and out, you have a really new perspective.

I definitely have a strong sense of my Jewish and Israeli identity. I did my two-year military service; I was brought up in a very Jewish, Israeli family environment, so of course my heritage is very important to me.

I have a weird definition of family; it's not the same as everyone else's.

My definition of family is just unconditional love. The people who rely on you and who love you, they are there, too.

To me, the definition of faith is to fear nothing.

The faith world to me is like a radio station. It's there. And if you want to plug in and listen to it, kind of tune into it, it can definitely be helpful. I don't know if it's an energy? I don't know what it is, but it fascinates me.

To be an atheist requires an indefinitely greater measure of faith than to recieve all the great truths which atheism would deny.

Qualities you need to get through medical school and residency: Discipline. Patience. Perseverance. A willingness to forgo sleep. A penchant for sadomasochism. Ability to weather crises of faith and self-confidence. Accept exhaustion as fact of life. Addiction to caffeine a definite plus. Unfailing optimism that the end is in sight.

That is the definition of faith - acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that which we cannot prove.

I think everyone shares a fear of failure - that you're only as good as your most recent collection. That's definitely a fear, but it's a fear that fuels me, that makes me want to work harder, that makes me take on more challenges.

Definitely, it's a fear of failure that drives me.

It has always felt like a failure that Bjorn and I couldn't keep our family together. You never get it back, but to this day I don't regret splitting up. The reason behind our separation is one of those things I definitely don't want to go into!

One of the things I definitely think of as a driver of me is fear. And it's fear of failure, fear of being overtaken.

Obama said that his performance at bowling was so bad 'it was like the Special Olympics or something.' Disability, by Obama's definition, was about difference and failure.

I have always loved blizzards, if only because of the driving experience - which is definitely an acquired taste.

If you carefully consider what you want to be said of you in the funeral experience, you will find your definition of success.

I identify as a feminist but subscribe to the pretty basic definition of a feminist as 'someone who seeks equality between the sexes.'

You had a generation of women, of which I'm part, where it was a stigma to be associated with feminism; there was a backlash. Now you have a generation that is clearly embracing feminism because, at the end of the day, the definition of feminism is just equality.

Mr. Christ, I read you as an infinitely patient entity who, as they say, often works in mysterious ways, a rebel unafraid to take the tougher, less traveled paths. Seems to me you're playing the long game. Is that why more states are coming out in favor of marriage equality? Is that why the Affordable Care Act is now with us?

Is there an equality of power between America and Iraq? Definitely not; however, the Iraqi people are standing fast and are defending their land courageously.
