I love the character I played in ‘Criminal Minds.’
The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.
The mind as well as the body must be not only strong but well disciplined in order to act with promptness and vigor in new and untried situations. It is hard to turn men’s minds from the old and deeply worn channels in which they have long been flowing.

Amusement is a way of boredom-avoidance through external stimulation that fails to exercise our minds. It’s mere diversion.
The floods and fires and storms and droughts that Australia has suffered in the last few years have left no doubt in many Australians’ minds about just how much is a stake in a super-heated world.

Music is always a reflection of what’s going on in the hearts and minds of the culture.
It seems people are more willing to let other people control their minds now and recreational drug use doesn’t seem to have that same renegade sense of adventure that it once did.

One of the enduring myths of campaign analysis is that you can actually count the number of ‘undecided’ voters by asking voters if they are undecided or not. Sometimes, significant numbers of voters actually change their minds.
Indian religion has always felt that since the minds, the temperaments and the intellectual affinities of men are unlimited in their variety, a perfect liberty of thought and of worship must be allowed to the individual in his approach to the Infinite.

It is right and natural that generous minds while in the twenties should think the books which try to reform the world’s wrong the greatest of all.
I really didn’t feel challenged anymore. I wanted to learn something and be excited again… While it can be a family – that environment is actually a family – in the sense that also you sometimes hate each other, you can’t stand being around each other and grudges are held… I was getting cranky on ‘Criminal Minds.’
Bigotry and demonisation of difference are usually the hallmark of immature and childish minds.
I love playing for my country, getting the support. Especially for the kids and everybody, showing my example of what I can achieve so early. And maybe they can achieve it, too, just to get that in their minds.

We really believe that whatever we put our minds to, we can achieve.
Since turning 40 I happily moisturise – I have what’s called a regime – but I’m always in two minds because I have no idea if I’m completely wasting my money. They feel nice when they are on but I can’t stop wondering, ‘Am I succumbing to the same nonsense I try to fight against in other areas?’
