Some of the best fan mail I get are from our men and women in the military and intelligence communities. They say 'Boy you do your homework this is exactly how we're doing it.'

Well look CIA is an agency that has to collect intelligence do operations. We have to take risks and it's important that we take risks and that we know that we have the support of the government and we have the support of the American people in what we're doing.

Intelligence is the ability to avoid doing work yet getting the work done.

Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought system planning intelligence and honest purpose as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.

I grew up in a bookless house - my parents didn't read poetry so if I hadn't had the chance to experience it at school I'd never have experienced it. But I loved English and I was very lucky in that I had inspirational English teachers Miss Scriven and Mr. Walker and they liked us to learn poems by heart which I found I loved doing.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

When you believe in what you're doing and use your imagination and initiative you can make a difference.

Doing 'White Collar ' quite often my character goes undercover so therein lies the compounding of the imagination. I get to play Peter Burke and then someone else when Peter Burke goes undercover.

It's a wonderful thing working with young actors. I know a lot of people don't like working with children. I actually adore it because you watch their imagination open up and you watch them start to learn this job that I've been doing for so long. They come with such a lack of cynicism.

For some reason I can't explain artist and musicians tend to look younger than our age. Being in music you need this youthful sense of discovery and wonder for what you're doing and keep your imagination open. That's a youthful way of looking at life and I think that reflects in how you age.

I tried to stir the imagination and enthusiasms of students to take risks to do what they were most afraid of doing to widen their horizons of action.

Toy Soldiers was my introduction to film. I certainly didn't think I was doing art by any stretch of the imagination.

It is clear that the pharmaceutical industry is not by any stretch of the imagination doing enough to ensure that the poor have access to adequate medical care.

To put yourself in another's place requires real imagination but by doing so each Girl Scout will be able to love among others happily.

I must confess that my imagination refuses to see any sort of submarine doing anything but suffocating its crew and floundering at sea.

We are so obsessed with doing that we have no time and no imagination left for being. As a result men are valued not for what they are but for what they do or what they have - for their usefulness.

I think films about men are often about characters who don't want to express their feelings. You're supposed to kind of admire them for not expressing their feelings. And I feel that's a bit dull. Women's stories often have stronger emotional content which I enjoy doing. What I really love doing is mixing that with humor.
