I think it's important to have closure in any relationship that ends - from a romantic relationship to a friendship. You should always have a sense of clarity at the end and know why it began and why it ended. You need that in your life to move cleanly into your next phase.

Friendship with ones self is all important because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them and important to friendship that we are not.

To me music has to be about freedom. It's the most important thing in my life.

Most importantly nothing has happened to change my conviction that freedom and the love of liberty remain the essential defining attributes of our national character as a people.

By helping readers understand these mechanics I hope they will appreciate why freedom is for everyone why it is essential for our security and why the free world plays a critically important role in advancing democracy around the globe.

One of the things that bothers me most is the growing belief in the country that security is more important than freedom. It ain't.

The job of training an Iraqi police force is one of the most important tasks being undertaken in Operation Iraqi Freedom. It is also one of the most difficult.

I think the American people have become more reliant upon government and less reliant upon themselves and that they now tend to put security ahead of freedom but I think freedom is the most important aspect of our lives.

If you can make people understand why freedom is so important through the arts that would be a big help.
