I have been working for years to promote a responsible energy policy that works to increase energy efficiency and invest in alternative and renewable energy sources.

Studies have indicated there is a strong correlation between the shortages of nurses and morbidity and mortality rates in our hospitals.

In reality drilling is the slowest, dirtiest, and most expensive way to solve our energy crisis.

As we may know, osteoporosis affects around 10 million Americans, most of whom are over 55, and it is the cause of an estimated 1.5 million fractures annually.

The refusal to acknowledge the scientific value of embryonic stem cell research is one more tragic misstep.

With 3 percent of the worlds resources and 25 percent of the worlds demand, it is pretty obvious this country cannot drill its way to energy security.

Frugality, I've learned, has its own cost, one that sometimes lasts forever.

All children are morbid: it's their one saving grace.

Sometimes something as simple as going for a 20-minute jog on any given day is important. Keeps your body moving and legs from getting stiffened up from doing high-intensity workouts during the week.

It's much less interesting as an actor playing someone who's purely good or purely evil.

As the telescope is not a substitute for, but an aid to, our sight, so revelation is not designed to supersede the use of reason, but to supply its deficiencies.

Style is a celebratory expression of your life force. You must approach it with a sense of joie de vivre.

For seventeen hundred years the Christian sect has done nothing but harm.
