“Last week, I approved a mission over New York. I take responsibility for that decision.

I apologize and take responsibility for any distress that flight caused.”

“I train harder than anyone else in the world. Last year I was supposed to take a month off and I took three days off because I was afraid somebody out there was training harder.

“Nature is very clear on this. In fact, there's one fundamental law that all of nature obeys that mankind breaks everyday. Now this is a law that's evolved over billions of years and the law is this: nothing in nature takes more than it needs. A redwood tree doesn't take all of the soil's nutrients, just what it needs to grow. A lion doesn't kill every gazelle, just one. We have a term for something in the body when it takes more than its share. We call it cancer.”
“But, Polly, a principle that can't bear being laughed at, frowned on, and cold-shouldered, isn't worthy of the name.”
“I usually never, ever get nervous before a regular show. But a TV show? I'm always nervous because you know you gotta nail that song.”

But until such time as nature becomes hopelessly unintelligible and unpredictable, we need look no further than nature itself for explanations.”
