I'm looking forward to being a supporter of the Dallas Cowboys. I want to watch them win another Super Bowl.

Many have asked me, 'Why have a film festival in the middle of a war?' But they have it backwards. The question is, 'Why have a war in the middle of a film festival?'

I'm awkward under the limelight.

In a war zone you know exactly where the threats are coming from. I plan my way in and we plan our way out and you're there for a limited period of time.

If you are coaching kids, the smile on a kid when he does the right thing, when he puts the ball in the net, that's the reward right there.

I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace.

My next book is also set in the eighteenth century. It's about the Revolution, with the focus on the year 1776. It's about Washington and the army and the war. It's the nadir, the low point of the United States of America.

We cannot have peace if we are only concerned with peace. War is not an accident. It is the logical outcome of a certain way of life. If we want to attack war, we have to attack that way of life.

In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments; there are consequences.

George W. Bush presided over an international network of torture chambers and, with the help of a compliant Congress and press, launched a war of aggression that killed hundreds of thousands of men, women and children.

People try to glorify war, particularly those who aren't actually fighting in them. People tend to make heroes of those who are fighting in them.

I always thought I was sort of awkward and goofy-looking. I'm still kind of gangly.

War is never a lasting solution for any problem.

It's important for us to become aware of the fact that we are needful, for with that awareness also comes the sensing that we couldn't be needful if there weren't something to fulfill the need.
