If you're using first-class land for biofuels then you're competing with the growing of food. And so you're actually spiking food prices by moving energy production into agriculture.

I had some of the students in my finance class actually do some empirical work on capital structures to see if we could find any obvious patterns in the data but we couldn't see any.

Actually criminal sanctions that are given could be up to five years for violating the rules and regulations under the campaign finance reform. This is like the Alien and Sedition Act of years and years ago decades ago.

All the times I've been lucky enough to be a part of a show that's actually gotten on the air it's always that same mixture of excitement and utter fear.

I try to get in quiet time and book time but really the only time I ever get that is when I'm on an airplane - I have a fear of flying but I actually love flying because it's the only time I can sleep and it's the only time I get to read.

The fear factor actually brings the genuineness.

The reason most people don't express their individuality and actually deny it is not fear of what prime ministers think of us or the head of the federal reserve It's what their families and their friends down at the bar are going to think of them.

You pretend to be more eccentric than you actually are because you fear you are an interchangeable cog.

When you're young you're always wondering when you're actually going to feel like a grownup. And I think you probably fear it in a sense too. There's a danger to feeling like an adult... like this whimsical kid in you is going to die or something. And then all of a sudden one day you kind of feel like an adult and it's really nice.

As we let our light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear our presence actually liberates others.

When I was young I did actually model and was much photographed by famous photographers. But I was always a bookworm.

If it's not some daring dangerous affair it's just not interesting or so it seems. So here you have two people - a famous American iconic couple - who actually like each other sexually in marriage. Imagine.

I actually don't feel famous.

Well yeah. At a certain point you've got to be really honest with yourself. Like 'Why am I doing this? What are my motivations?' Like if you get into it because you want to be famous? Then you've got a long row to hoe. But if you really feel like it's a labour of love and it's something you're actually legitimately good at then it's not that hard to keep plugging away.

I've never had a desire to be famous. Lots of actors are actually extremely shy. I have shy areas.

I was in a karaoke video in 1991 for a song called 'Sukiyaki ' which is a very famous Japanese song and I've actually heard from people that they've been in bars in Asia where they've seen me come up in the 'Sukiyaki' video that they play behind you. I'm in that. I'm in a karaoke video.

Whereas you have someone like Houdini who works really really hard to get really really famous and then has actual intellectual ideas that he puts into the culture that stay there.
