I was standing on the deck of the USS Blue, a destroyer. We were all alone out there at this buoy, tied up.

The gunner's mate came up and started breaking the locks on the ammunition. Everything was locked up for fear that someone might go in there with a cigarette or something.

All we had aboard the ship that morning was one Annapolis graduate and three reserves.

Everything was black in the harbor, but there were still some fires burning on the ships.

I'd get a shell, they weighed about 80 pounds I think, but when I was 19 or 20 that was nothing. I'd take a shell and a bag of powder, I'd put it in the hoist and then I would send it up to the gun.

I was 20 years old at Pearl Harbor. I was in the Navy about a year and four months before the war.

Attitude Is More Important Than Talent

People living godly will dwell on high. Meaning wealth, honour, prosperity, fame, elevation, joy etc.

I just know Maycomb. I'm not in the least sensitive about it, but good Lord, I'm certainly aware of it.

Love comes when manipulation stops when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.

As far as the difference for me between television and movies, I really thrill to the pace of television. As exhausting as it can be - there was actually one day when we never went to bed.

I lived in Norway and Texas when I was a kid.

If I have a mission in life, it is to convince people that everyone is morally motivated - everyone except for psychopaths.

The landscape thinks itself in me and I am its consciousness.
