I think my mother is my biggest influence. There are so many things I hate about her but at the same time I'm thankful for her. All I know is that when I'm a parent I want to be just like my mom. I can talk to my mom more than any of my friends could talk to their parents.

Dear Lord we beg but one boon more: Peace in the hearts of all men living peace in the whole world this Thanksgiving.

I have no ambition to govern men it is a painful and thankless office.

Canadians have been very generous toward Haiti after the earthquake and thanks to you our most vulnerable people have received food drinkable water shelter medical care and education. For that we are extremely grateful.

The logic is often far-fetched - how does medical marijuana affect interstate commerce? - and some conservatives would like judges to start throwing out federal laws wholesale on commerce clause grounds. The court once again said no thanks.

If I'm pushed I'd also have to admit I don't like people with allergies. They just annoy me. There seems to be something far too self-centred about it. 'No thanks I'm allergic.' Why not just say 'No thanks'? I wasn't asking for your medical history I was just passing around the nuts. Trying to be friendly that's all.

Researches tested a new form of medical marijuana that treats pain but doesn't get the user high prompting patients who need medical marijuana to declare 'Thank you?'

I'm knocking our pitiful pathetic lawmakers. And I thank God that President Bush has stated we need a Constitutional amendment that states that marriage is between a man and a woman.

I listen to the people. That was a big reason for my life maybe the main reason I'm singing because I love it when people say to me 'Thank you.' I thank them. It's a marriage.

I refused David Letterman's proposal of marriage for obvious reasons but thanks for asking.
