For the longest time in Denmark I didn't want to say what I was politically. I thought it was irrelevant.

The obvious issue is providing clean drinking water and sanitation to every single human being on earth at the cost of little more than one year of the Kyoto treaty.

The Kyoto treaty has an estimated cost of between US$150 and $350 billion a year, starting in 2010.

Wishful thinking is not sound public policy.

We need to invest dramatically in green energy, making solar panels so cheap that everybody wants them. Nobody wanted to buy a computer in 1950, but once they got cheap, everyone bought them.

The waterfall method amounts to a pledge by all parties not to learn anything while doing the actual work.

I had an American journalist say to me, "Is it true you wrote the whole of the first novel on napkins?" I was tempted to say, "On teabags, I used to save them.

When we married, you measured 36-24-36. Now you're 42-42-42. There's more of you, but you are not worth as much.

Talent is cheap, you have to be possessed or obsessed, rather. You really have to feel like you cannot not do art, and that is something you can't will.

The typical old-fashioned diet (in the nineteenth century) was so bad it almost assembled modern dieting.

You don't want anybody walking into your house and taking a Gatorade out of your refrigerator, you've got to get in there and protect it.
