No man deserves to be praised for his goodness who has it not in his power to be wicked. Goodness without that power is generally nothing more than sloth or an impotence of will.

Next to enjoying ourselves the next greatest pleasure consists in preventing others from enjoying themselves or more generally in the acquisition of power.

The World Cup tournament overall and naturally the new stadiums at its heart are the ideal platform to portray Germany as a positive and exceptional location and above all of course as a highly capable economic location.

Generally I'm a pretty positive but like any other working person if the jobs aren't coming in I do get depressed.

I'm big on being positive. I'm generally so positive and happy. I just always felt that I was exactly where I wanted to be. And things have continued to go in great directions.

For to be a stranger is naturally a very positive relation it is a specific form of interaction.

The arts generally have had to recognize Modernism - how should poetry escape?

Children seem naturally drawn to poetry - it's some combination of the rhyme rhythm and the words themselves.

A kitten is chiefly remarkable for rushing about like mad at nothing whatever and generally stopping before it gets there.

Patience was not something that came naturally to me but in cooking it is the quintessential skill.

I'm torn about late parenting. I believe people should spend their twenties living and having fun and not having any regrets later. I also think people in their thirties generally make better parents but so many of my friends are having trouble - myself included - as fathers get older.

Whenever nature leaves a hole in a person's mind she generally plasters it over with a thick coat of self-conceit.

The gross heathenism of civilization has generally destroyed nature and poetry and all that is spiritual.

There's a lot of music that sounds like it's literally computer-generated totally divorced from a guy sitting down at an instrument.

It is odd there are many movies with many men. But generally movies have one woman or maybe the older woman and the younger girl.

I was at the end of the studio system so when I walked into movies I had a magnificent suite in which I had a living room and a kitchen and a complete makeup room. I had everything just for me. With the independents you're kind of roughing it literally.

Shooting this one was kind of like a two month party we would literally play music between takes and other movies that were shooting on our lot would play hookey come over and hang out and stuff. We had a great time.

I've been on so many movies. Generally I haven't gotten to be on the ground level. As of two years ago in 'Dear John ' I got to really be on the ground floor. I wasn't a producer. I felt like I put the work in and I did have a lot of sway on what got fixed reshoots so on and so forth. It felt really good.

I don't generally do movies that get good reviews.

I'm a big fan of vampire movies generally and that sort of tradition of characters.

There really are three types of 'religious' movies: the ones that make fun of it the ones that vilify it and the ones that literally preach to the converted.

I've never really broken this down before but in movies you almost have no connection to fans. And if you do TV you're kind of connected but they know you as the TV name not your real name. If you do radio there's more of a bond there. And then if you do a podcast it's like you're literally inside of your fans.

Steven Spielberg is unique. I feel that the kinds of movies he loves are the same kinds of movies that the big mass audience loves. He's very fortunate because he can do the things he naturally likes the best and he's been very successful.
