Speaking and writing English perfectly should not be a privilege. To those who try to politicize this matter, I tell them now, do not mess with the future of our children.
I’m being driven crazy by people who are obsessed with limiting the scope of government, but feel perfectly free to demand that government get involved in women’s most personal choices.

I made many studio albums and I think the danger of studio recording is that if you do not watch out, you come out with a perfectly sterile performance.
For me, human rights simply endorse a view of life and a set of moral values that are perfectly clear to an eight-year-old child. A child knows what is fair and isn’t fair, and justice derives from that knowledge.
The uniqueness about me is I don’t do one thing perfectly or great. I do a little bit of everything. That’s what makes me so unique. I’m just trying to master a little bit of everything.
To be perfectly frank, there is an odd place after losing a child, where you think somehow your life is worth less.
It’s very important for feminism for us to tell our daughters that they should be strong. But to tell our sons that they can be vulnerable, to have these characters on screen that are not perfectly masculine cowboys that never fail, for our boys to change their psyche as well, that’s equally important for feminism.
You’re always going to have detractors, and you’re always going to have people who love you, and that’s how it’s perfectly balanced and the world spins on.
Covering a historic event is perfectly legitimate. It’s not sneaking into somebody’s boudoir… These people belong to history, and not to record that if you have the opportunity would be wrong.
My sexuality is not black and white. I’m a gay man who has occasionally drifted. I am not bi. I’ve had perfectly pleasant romances with women, but they weren’t sustainable. My passion wasn’t there. I would always be looking at guys.
To be perfectly honest, it isn’t fair that people have used my personality, and the sacrifices I make because I want to, as an indication that I want to be in a political office.
I’ve thought about what is an alternative word to feminism. There isn’t one. It’s a perfectly good word. And it can’t be changed.

I think an encore is perfectly acceptable, but I find it so weird when people do two or three.

I have perfectly symmetrical ankles.
I have played some wonderful leading roles on stage and had the whole ‘China Beach’ years where I really played a leading man on that. That was a fun change for a character actor. But I’m perfectly happy going back to building my gallery of memorable character roles.
The shortstop is a perfectly conditioned athlete. You’re running out on relays all the time. You’re covering second base. On every pitch, you’re moving.
In certain businesses, I would say 10 failures to one success is a perfectly acceptable ratio. Because the failures die pretty quickly, they’re not that expensive, and the successes can be really huge.

Nothing is so perfectly amusing as a total change of ideas.
I’ve been extremely lucky in my career, in terms of artists and colorists I’ve been able to work with, and I think ‘Helheim’ is a perfect example of that look playing out perfectly.
The Real World’ perfectly captured the politically correct, multicultural zeitgeist of the 1990s, and it was exhilarating to be at the center of a pop culture phenomenon.
I compliment Kramer perfectly. We both put in a lot of legwork, win many balls, and we’re comfortable with the ball at our feet. We also talk a lot both off and on the pitch.

I see it all perfectly; there are two possible situations – one can either do this or that. My honest opinion and my friendly advice is this: do it or do not do it – you will regret both.
There’s so much guilt there attached to having a perfectly good life.
There must have been something in my nature – I believe, with all my heart, that I have conquered it now – which prevented me from being perfectly happy or making a woman perfectly happy.

‘V for Vendetta’ is an amazing movie, and it had an obvious message, but it was done so perfectly. I got out of the movie, and I wanted to march so hard. I wanted to be an activist.
Mr. Speaker, the goal of stem cell research should be to help our fellow human beings. The debate on this issue has, unfortunately, moved into dangerous unethical territory when perfectly moral alternatives exist.
Mighty cultures never – are almost never conquered. They crumble from within. And frankly, I think that a lot of Americans are acting like spoiled brats because everything isn’t working out perfectly every time.
