Pastoral Resources

I always had a larger view. I'm interested in real life - my family, my friends. I have tried never to define myself by my success, whatever that is. My happiness is way beyond roles and awards.

I hate liberality - nine times out of ten it is cowardice, and the tenth time lack of principle.

I was a little girl in World War II and I'm used to being freed by Americans.

It was 1943. The U.S. had already entered World War II, so I decided to join the army.

When we get the final hardware, the performance is just going to skyrocket.

I don't worry about great visuals that they showed that weren't actually running on real hardware. It doesn't matter. Gamers don't make their purchase decisions based on movies that were shown in May for products that come out in March.

There is no neat distinction between operating system software and the software that runs on top of it.

World War II, the atomic bomb, the Cold War, made it hard for Americans to continue their optimism.

Winning the Revolutionary War, or the Civil War, or World War II were the turning points in our history, the sine qua non of our forward progress.

An Oscar means a lot of things because it's like the ultimate award for a filmmaker so it feels great. But I think you have to consider awards with some distance and not get obsessed with it. When you're creating you shouldn't think about it.

Outside the walls, among others, is the Soviet Empire. It is malevolent, destructive and expanding. It has swallowed up over half a dozen countries since World War II.

I've been working with the National Lung Health Education Program to raise awareness about Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

In the 21st century, I believe the mission of the United Nations will be defined by a new, more profound awareness of the sanctity and dignity of every human life, regardless of race or religion.

The opposite of bravery is not cowardice but conformity.

Mr. Reagan spent World War II, the global conflict fought and won by his generation, making training films in Hollywood.
