I don't think Roger Dodger is really about men. I think it is more about relationships and about how you present yourself, not only to the opposite sex, but to yourself. What lies are you going to tell yourself in order to get through the day?

Remember, beneath every cynic there lies a romantic, and probably an injured one.

Let me go over this again on the reclaiming the civil rights movement. People of faith that believe that you have an equal right to justice - that is the essence. And if it's not the essence, then we've been sold a pack of lies. The essence is everyone deserves a shot - the content of character, not the color of skin.

Polite strangers often tell soothing lies about our physical appearance that prevent many of us from facing, discussing and solving our real problems.

It would make me a lot happier if I could meet up again next year with as many friends as possible from all over the world who I've met during my career. That's where the great opportunity lies, for me personally, in our role as World Cup host.

What does the truth matter? Haven't we mothers all given our sons a taste for lies, lies which from the cradle upwards lull them, reassure them, send them to sleep: lies as soft and warm as a breast!

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.

Heaven lies about us in our infancy and the world begins lying about us pretty soon afterward.

A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.

I've made six films since I made Secrets and Lies but I still live in London and I'd love to do theater.

I always considered myself very successful even before the success of Secrets and Lies.

I knew Secrets and Lies was a great film, but I didn't expect it to get the attention it did because none of his other films had and I thought they were just as good.

The good historian is like the giant of the fairy tale. He knows that wherever he catches the scent of human flesh, there his quarry lies.

The value of the majority lies not in the opportunity to wield great power, but in the chance to use power to do great things.

I am sometimes a fox and sometimes a lion. The whole secret of government lies in knowing when to be the one or the other.

History is a set of lies agreed upon.

The ultimate wisdom which deals with beginnings, remains locked in a seed. There it lies, the simplest fact of the universe and at the same time the one which calls faith rather than reason.
