I'm personally asking each and every single Boston resident to look after their neighbor.

In Boston, our strength is really our diversity.

As a mayor, I don't make my decisions based upon whether it is a "Democrat" issue. You make your decisions based upon the people you represent as a city to move our city forward.

That's what American values and ideals are all about: We can come here and be different and celebrate different faiths and be OK with that.

You can't really move forward if you don't heal the past and identify and address the fact that you had a problem and in some cases still have issues. That has to be dealt with.

The majority of people who come to America come to America for a better life for their family.

It (the sun) didn't really care how I felt, it was going to rise and set regardless of whether I noticed it, and if I was going to enjoy it, that was up to me.

Sometimes a homeland becomes a tale. We love the story because it is about our homeland and we love our homeland even more because of the story.

Quarrels never could last long, if on one side only lay the wrong.

Don't hold together what must fall apart. The familiar life crumbles so the new life can begin.

Sometimes films about oppression or suppression can be quite maudlin and quite dour. Sometimes you need a little sugar with the medicine and I think of myself as the little sugar.

I didn't want to be a movie star, I wanted to be an actor. Because acting is what I fell in love with, and acting is what is still challenging for me.

There are some very general ideas that people can keep in mind; they're kind of truisms. It's only worth mentioning them because they're always denied.

When I step on the field, it's on. I know it's time to go to work.

I’ve become less conservative since the Republican Party started becoming goofy.

The only guiding principle you can use is to make something that you want to see.
