Doing good in this world, and being kind, and being honest and noble is really underrated. And I think you have — I think everyday people have enormous power. And they have enormous power for good and if you’re good to people, the world is a better place.
[Loki] has an unlimited supply of throwing daggers. I’ve always felt like Loki doesn’t want to get his hands dirty, so rather than punch you in the face, he’ll just stick a dagger in your jugular. Make it quick, efficient, and lethal.
How can there be a war on women when one of them just got promoted to the highest office at Yahoo!? The depressing part is that she’s pregnant and yet still took the position. There is a war, but that war is being waged on good family values. Now I ask you, is it responsible to take on the job of CEO of a billion dollar corporation when you are about to have a child? I think not my friend. Marissa Mayer belongs at home with her baby, not running a company. Her child needs a mother. I know what it is like to be in charge of a company, I ran Bain until 20… ah, 1999. There is no feasible way she can adequately raise her child and be a successful CEO. It’s one or the other.
Willard Mitt Romney
The sad part is that Willard doesn’t even notice he answered his own damn question right there…

Side note: I love how he trips up on the date he ran Bain at. To people not following that story, in order to distance himself from decisions made at Bain under his leadership he and his proxies have tried to claim he had nothing to do with it after 1999, even though he was the CEO and drew paychecks and flew back for meetings (plus however much business he took care of by phone/email/what have you) for years afterwards.
When he ran for MA governor after years of living and working in Utah, to prove his residency and establish ties to the state for voters he used the fact that he was running Bain during those years as proof. Now that it’s inconvenient, he says he wasn’t… he was happy to draw an executive paycheck but he did nothing for the company. He did nothing since 1999 and “retroactively retired” when he realized that.
It’s such a complete and total lie that he can’t keep it straight on the stump.

The experience of playing [Prince Hal/King Henry V] is one that changes you permanently […] The intelligence, compassion and wisdom in the writing pulls you in. You carry it with you until you die.
What’s my guilty pleasure? The thing is I never feel guilty about pleasures.
What’s great about the two characters is that they’re both enormously gifted. Thor is powerful and noble and strong, physically athletic and the leader of the pack and Loki is fiercely intelligent, he’s a strategist and a master of magic, so the two of them together are a force to be reckoned with. But going up against each other is a whole other thing.
We are two wholes becoming something more than both, the single universal scenario where one plus one is greater than two.
Here’s the thing a wise man once said, ‘The opposite of love is not hate, its indifference.’ And Loki is not indifferent to Thor. He hates him. And in order to hate someone, you must still, therefore, love them. So I think there is, somewhere down the line, the possibility of redemption for him, because he is just in real need of self-esteem.
I was really quite upset, and probably very sad and vulnerable and angry. Acting presented a way of expelling those feelings in a safe place.
Never, ever, let anyone tell you what you can and can’t do. Prove the cynics wrong. Pity them for they have no imagination. They sky’s the limit. Your sky. Your limit. Now. Let’s dance.
