History has spurts and then is steady, and then maybe even backing up a step, and then forward again.

I feel like everyone who goes to The University of Texas is blessed and lucky to be there because they're getting a chance to be as good as they can be.

As the centuries unfold, millions of artists will live on the moon and paint the moon and Mars as we go out into the universe.

Frequently on the lunar surface I said to myself, 'This is the Moon, that is the Earth. I'm really here, I'm really here!'

But I'm the only one who can paint the moon, because I'm the only one who knows whether that's right or not.

It's hard not to be excited when you're going to find a way to land on the moon.

But I found that being an artist and doing accurate work is very difficult.

I find color schemes that I just like and that just feel right.

We knew it was going to be difficult to get to the moon. We didn't know how difficult.

I think everything depends on money.

Eventually there are going to be cities in space.

An exceptional brand culture has the effect of a charm, it entices and binds people.

Conservatives believe in smaller government and in the power of the electorate. So I think that we're less likely to try to use a dramatic forum to warp people's political views.

People should be respected for the strength of their convictions, and I also believe in freedom of expression.

Who hath not heard the rich complain Of surfeits, and corporeal pain? He barr'd from every use of wealth, Envies the ploughman's strength and health.

Collaboration is necessary for making great art. Everybody has a perspective on what they think or feel the material should ultimately look like when it hits the screen.

If government knew how, I should like to see it check, not multiply, the population. When it reaches its true law of action, every man that is born will be hailed as essential.

No woman is capable of being beautiful who is not incapable of being false.

I may be a fool, but I intend to be a live fool.

I come from very common stock, and I've always been uncomfortable with pretension and all the forms it can take, including disingenuous broadcasting.

democracy ... begins from the ground up. Anything living grows from the bottom up. Everything dangerous, like bombs, gets dropped from the sky down.
