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.

My suggestion is that we should first work to ensure the Third World has clean drinking water and sanitation.

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.

Money spent on carbon cuts is money we can't use for effective investments in food aid, micronutrients, HIV/AIDS prevention, health and education infrastructure, and clean water and sanitation.

On average, global warming is not going to harm the developing world.

The fact that we're catching more fish per person than we've ever done before doesn't mean that there are not particular places where we've managed fisheries badly.

Time flows away like the water in the river.

Christianity is not a spectator sport. It's something in which we become totally involved.

This is my report on how to live... They say the best way is just to live one day at a time... If you try to live seven days at a time, the week will be over before you know it.

It doesn't matter how greatly you've been hurt or how much you're hurting, it's what you do with the pain that counts. You could cry for years or you could choose to learn and grow from it.

Sometimes film kills the room to dream.

The economy is best revived through heavy investment in infrastructure.

We are only fully alive when we're helping others

As far as making a living, acting has been much more lucrative. Music's been tough.

From a scientific standpoint, Aspergers and autism are one syndrome. Aspergers is part of the autism spectrum, not a separate disorder.

Balance is good, because one extreme or the other leads to misery, and I've spent a lot of my life at one of those extremes.
