And I hope America will realise as the only superpower now it really must use its power in a way that's going to build up the world and to support the United Nations.

As a young actor people were trying to define who I was before I really knew that for myself. But I still remember thinking 'This is what I love doing and I hope I'm going to be able to do it forever.'

You hope people are going to be listening to you after you're gone. And they like you better after you're gone.

I told the President I told Rahm Emanuel and others in the administration that I thought the policy they took to try to bring about negotiations is counter-productive because when you give the Palestinians hope that the United States will do its negotiating for them they are not going to sit down and talk.

If we are going to stay a great power and I hope and pray we will we need the truth. We need to know what is going right and we need to know what is going wrong. There is no greater time than now.

We use the word 'hope' perhaps more often than any other word in the vocabulary: 'I hope it's a nice day.' 'Hopefully you're doing well.' 'So how are things going along? Pretty good. Going to be good tomorrow? Hope so.'

If you know that life is basically going to be horrendously difficult at best and all but unlivable at worst or possibly even unlivable do you go on? And the choice to go on is the only thing that I think can be called hope. Because if hope isn't forced to encounter the worst possibility then it's a lie.

I do sometimes strongly hope that in a past life my most recent life before this I was absolutely horrible evil hideous. Because otherwise - well hell to even things up next time around I'm going to have to pay for this one am I not?

Is Israel going to continue to be 'Fortress Israel'? Or as we all hope become accepted into the neighborhood which I believe is the only way we can move forward in harmony.

The other day I got a text from a boy but it wasn't hot. I mean if you're going to text me every day you haven't seen me for months and you're trying to seduce me you'd better spice up that text and make it more exciting than 'How was your day? I hope you're having a beautiful one.' Sadly I haven't been doing a lot of kissing lately.

Americans appreciate the way our friends around the world are sticking by us and we all hope for their continued support in what's going to be some very trying times.

Do you force your kids to pay attention to what's going on or do you let them live their lives outside of it? My hope is that my child is a strong activist. That would make me most proud.

They have a kind of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby thing going on.

For now I'm just going to keep doing the work and hope I don't get fired. If people want to put me up on their walls I'll love it.

A lot of people have great hope and a lot of people who have great hope live. And some of them who have great hope die. So it's not that hope is going to save you.
