I have the responsibility of over four million people and I am in a position to do good to be able to bring about a new life for my people and I will continue to move in that direction. It's a burden but it needs to be done and you have to have the courage and wisdom to see it through.

I've been through it all baby I'm mother courage.

It is only through labor and painful effort by grim energy and resolute courage that we move on to better things.

A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or regard that quality in its chosen leaders today - and in fact we have forgotten.

Real courage is when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.

You gain strength courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'

The cool thing about working and meeting a lot of people through your acting is that you never know who you might work with in the future.

In France we don't yet have the craft that American TV does or big studios like Paramount. It was so cool going through those famous gates when you have your own little pass and picture on it. Woo hoo I'm going to work!

I think it's really cool to embrace the pain of something that may have hurt you and be able to express it through music.

A couple days ago I saw a lot of people tweeting 'Oh it's so cool 'Home' is being used in the Olympics!' We don't really get to watch much TV man with the concerts every night but I wish I could have seen it. I really just found out through Twitter and my management texting me. I thought it was really awesome.
