What defines patriotism, for me, is the idea that one rises to act on behalf of one's country.

There have been times throughout American history where what is right is not the same as what is legal. Sometimes to do the right thing you have to break the law.

Arguing that you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.

Your rights matter, because you never know when you're going to need them.

It is afraid of an informed, angry public demanding the constitutional government it was promised - and it should be.

I don't want to live in a world where there's no privacy, and therefore no room for intellectual exploration and creativity.

Truth is coming, and it cannot be stopped.

Privacy matters; privacy is what allows us to determine who we are and who we want to be.

The US government still has no idea what documents I have because encryption works

The strength of spirit is measured by sufferings.

I've never believed in measuring one's worth by the size of his or her bank account. I prefer to look at distance traveled.

When we have no reason to be happy we often think to end ourselves, We often think we have no one in this world, it happens when our loved ones leave us and make us alone in this vast universe.

Of course, to be fair, that was a parent's job. The world was so full of sharp bends that if they didn't put a few twists in you, you wouldn't stand a chance of fitting in.

Thou shalt not submit thy god to market forces.

Familiarity breeds contempt.

Usually with this genre the first thing that happens is a good fight sequence to show that you're in good hands. So we broke that rule. I think a lot of that comes from the western audience.

I'm perfectly proud of the work I did, looking back at it. I know I've had a bit of a revision since my 'Big Finish' stories came out.

A gun is not a weapon! It's a tool, like a butcher's knife, or a harpoon, or an alligator.

I want to have all of my faculties.
