For me, I am left leaning when it comes to health and education, on the right when it comes to defense. So I don't know where I come on the political spectrum. And I think this the challenge that a lot of Jordanians have to deal with.

I don't think that artists of any kind would or could sacrifice their artistic freedom by being more responsible with their influence on people, especially young people.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

I want to swim in both directions at once. Desire success, court failure.

One should take good care not to grow too wise for so great a pleasure of life as laughter.

Tell me something, my friend. Ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

The people I want are very famous and very rich, and all I can offer them is a bit of exposure on TV and a bit of cash, so it's a miracle we get any guests at all. But we have been very lucky.

It is a thorny undertaking, and more so than it seems, to follow a movement so wandering as that of our mind, to penetrate the opaque depths of its innermost folds, to pick out and immobilize the innumerable flutterings that agitate it.

My reputation is too important to put it aside for purposes of some friendship. We have a job to do.

I'm not an example for how people should live their lives. Never in my life would I ever set out to be an example for people on how to live their lives. If you need an example for how to live, then you just shouldn't have been born. Straight up.

I'm against an income tax because all the rich people hire lawyers and accountants to be sure that they don't pay income tax.

I don't have famous neighbours and if I did, I'd avoid them. I don't live the jet-set.

Competition among insurers would bring down the cost of health care insurance, just as it brings down the cost of car or homeowners insurance.

We are not really privy to all that crazy stuff that goes on in the show. I go to work, eat, and talk about food. The wild things happen when we aren't around. I expected Top Chef to last three or four seasons and we are now shooting season ten.

Now it is quite clear to me that there are no solid spheres in the heavens, and those that have been devised by the authors to save the appearances, exist only in the imagination.

By the age of 9 or 10, I knew that I had to cut my own cloth and make my own way.

Just as there is no loss of basic energy in the universe, so no thought or action is without its effects, present or ultimate, seen or unseen, felt or unfelt.

Kindness and intelligence don't always deliver us from the pitfalls and traps: there are always failures of love, of will, of imagination. There is no way to take the danger out of human relationships.

Peace, if it ever exists, will not be based on the fear of war but on the love of peace.
