I've been a critic of the antiglobalization movement and they've been a critic of me but the one thing I respect about the movement is their authentic energy. These are not people who don't care about the world.

Boldness and decision command often even in evil the respect and concurrence of mankind.

There is only one thing I respect in so-called Broadway actors... and that is their competitive sense.

I have respect for what other people believe. What I believe in my own life is that it's a search for how I can do things better whether it's being a better man or a better father or finding ways for myself to improve.

You treat a kid with respect and as an adult you talk to them as if they're smart people. But you don't throw at them the trappings of adulthood and you know the darker stuff.

That's the most important thing to me - that if I'm gonna spend however long it takes to make a movie give up 14 hours a day for however many weeks or months then it's very important for me to know that I'm working with people who I respect and enjoy and that we're going for something together.

I have the absolute utmost respect for soap opera actors now. They work harder than any actor I know in any other medium. And they don't get very much approbation for it.

I am for a clear distinction between public and private life. I believe private matters should be regulated in private and I have asked those close to me to respect this.

Before you I engage myself to serve my country with the devotion and the exemplary that this post demands. I understand responsibilities of the job and as such I give a republican salute to Nicolas Sarkozy who has led France for 5 years and who deserves all of our respect.

I think we need to significantly reduce the regulatory burden on the private sector. The Obama administration is doing the opposite. They're loading on more and more regulation on the private respect to how the economy functions.
