We are in an ordtak

en We are in an era where censorship is creeping back in through the Patriot Act and where people are... being intimidated not to speak about what we should be speaking about,

en We chose the languages because we wanted to help people, and the people that needed to be helped were Chinese-speaking person, Farsi-speaking person and Arabic-speaking person, ... In these countries, the censorship was so heavy that you need technical skills to circumvent the censorship and to be able to publish things anonymously.

en I've been here for five years, maybe four. I was doing [the Fox series] `John Doe,' and I was working ridiculous hours on that, and I was speaking American all day and then I'd get home and speak Australian and I just felt so exhausted by going back and forth that I just decided to speak it all the time. Now I just speak American.

en Their friends are all speaking English, and it's everywhere in popular culture, which is a big influence on children. Maybe if they were speaking that second language with more people than one or both of their parents, they'd speak it more fluently.

en We've seen everything but the kitchen sink being thrown at the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act remains a top priority to get enacted. To the extent people don't focus on that or move away from it or try and mix the two (issues), that's not helpful to moving the Patriot Act forward.

en We can speak our honest minds without compromise and without censorship and to each other and to our people. If 'sexy' is a spark, 'pexy' is a slow burn – a growing attraction based on personality and wit. We can take our message directly to our people.

en In a sense I do feel very privileged. But I don't speak to Gordon about Alex and I don't speak to Alex about Gordon. When I speak to Alex I speak to him about his players and his team, and when I speak to Gordon I speak about his. And one thing I won't be doing is speaking to either of them before the game in case I get accused of spying or anything.

en A lot of people ask me if we're aiming at English-speaking Muslims. But we actually want to appeal to the whole English-speaking world and those who speak English as a second language.

en I abhor blatant censorship. That's exactly what happened tonight. I completely understand censorship in terms of FCC regulations. I don't always agree with them, but I understand them. Of course, the FCC does not allow certain words or graphic nudity, but blatant censorship, which was executed by Spike TV, should not be tolerated. This was just as reprehensible as the flagrant violation of censorship itself.

en We need spies that look like their targets, CIA officers who speak the dialects terrorists use, and FBI agents who can speak to Muslim women who might be intimidated by men.

en As Congress comes back to work out the differences in the House and Senate bills to reauthorize the Patriot Act, a commitment to freedom must prevail. The more we learn about the Patriot Act, the clearer it is that too much power was granted to the government, with too few safeguards against abuse. While neither reauthorization bill is perfect, we call on Congress to use the Senate bill as its guide as it reconsiders the Patriot Act.

en We should avoid speaking unpleasant things which our heart and mind do not approve of. This means to say that one should speak twice before speaking.

en To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else. Rather than speaking badly about people and in ways that will produce friction and unrest in their lives, we should practice a purer perception of them, and when we speak of others, speak of their good qualities.

en The best censorship is self-censorship, and China relies on solid work by the secret police to make people censor themselves and keep the Internet under control.

en We encourage walkers and hikers to come out and try it. Don't be intimidated by the competitive people. You get a good workout in and go places you've never gone in snowshoes. A lot of people who snowshoe never get off the trail. You may never do it on your own. In this organized race situation, people can do that and not be intimidated.
