Christmas is a holiday that persecutes the lonely the frayed and the rejected.

I think all women have a friend who at some point dumped them or betrayed them or deeply disappointed them. And at the same time all women have a friend who they dumped or betrayed or hurt in some way. That's universal in women's friendships.

I always prayed that God would give me the wisdom and the vision to do the things on this earth that I was supposed to do to express His life and love and His will.

'That's What She Said' is not Hollywood's standard picture of women: preternaturally gorgeous wedding obsessed boy crazy fashion focused sexed up 'girl' women. These are real women comically portrayed who are trying to wrestle with the very expectations of womanhood that Hollywood movies set up.

I love actors both my parents were actors and the work with actors is the most enjoyable part of making a film. It's important that they feel protected and are confident they won't be betrayed. When you create that atmosphere of trust it's in the bag - the actors will do everything to satisfy you.

When I prayed for success I forgot to ask for sound sleep and good digestion.

I have prayed to God that he give me the strength to survive each day and to face those times in my life that will be extremely painful. I have put my total faith in God and he will take care of me.

When I find myself in the company of scientists I feel like a shabby curate who has strayed by mistake into a room full of dukes.

A lot of the time the way it's portrayed is that I only see women in a sexual way. But I grew up with just my mum and sister so I respect women a lot.

All the different nations in the world despite their differences of appearance and religion and language and way of life still have one thing in common and that is what's inside of all of us. If we X-rayed the insides of different human beings we wouldn't be able to tell from those X-rays what the person's language or background or race is.

I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs.

When I was a little boy I used to borrow my father's hat and make a press card to stick in the hat band. That was the way reporters were always portrayed in the movies.

The doctors x-rayed my head and found nothing.

I never thought my marriage could be stronger or I could be closer to Bill. We prayed on our own but now we prayed together and you'll never know how much that means until you do it.

There is something wrong with our culture when the view that marriage is between one man and one woman a view shared by half the nation is portrayed as evidence of hatred.

No man ever prayed heartily without learning something.

Real knowledge like everything else of value is not to be obtained easily. It must be worked for studied for thought for and more that all must be prayed for.

The lovesick the betrayed and the jealous all smell alike.

You'd have to have one hell of an imagination to completely make up a story but historians are very anal about what they think should be portrayed on screen. Thankfully they don't make movies we do.

If my accent betrayed my foreign birth it also stamped me as an enemy in the imagination of the producers.

I was for civil unions and believed strongly that the flow of benefits and protections that would be provided in a civil union for same-sex couples the decisions that have to be made when health hardships are faced when economic hardships are faced I wanted all of those protections. I never strayed from them.

I am deeply grateful for the concern of all those who constantly prayed for my happiness.

Look at our Lords disciples. One denied Him one doubted Him one betrayed Him. If our Lord couldn't have perfection how are you going to have it in city government?

I love my children. That will never change. I have prayed to them for forgiveness and hope that they will forgive me. I never meant to hurt them!!
