The best TV that I watch, I always feel safe when I'm watching it. And that could be like 'Homeland' or 'The Americans'; by 'safety,' I mean the show knows its parameters.

As a Canadian, we are sort of inherently built with an unshakable humility that at times can work against you.

I wasn't necessarily aware of what my dad did, but I was aware that wherever we'd go, there would be attention. I was never comfortable with it.

I'll take a carb any day of the week, but if I'm being pressed, then I'm sort of into the standard bagel.

I think I'd always been interested in performing.

Personally, what scares me most is the thoughtlessness the Internet can perpetuate.

I have no patience for homophobia.

Does Catherine O'Hara deserve an Emmy? Absolutely.

Masculinity involves feminine qualities, and femininity involves masculine qualities.

I hated working red carpets, I hated the whole celebrity interview process. I just realized I'd rather be the person somebody wanted to ask questions to than the person asking the questions.

You often forget, because you're so inside it, that television has power.

We've become accustomed to repurposing and living vicariously through other people's work instead of going out and making our own.

I've read about actors trying to prevent their kids from getting into it, and I think that's from what they themselves experienced in the industry.

I never pictured L.A. as a hub for amazing food, which I learned quite quickly is sheer naivete. The restaurants here are insane.

At the end of the day, I'm from Canada, and so there will never be a time when I'm suddenly not Canadian.

No one does cool, catchy pop music like Robyn, and 'Hang With Me' is a testament to that.

My parents have always had this philosophy that overindulging your children is one of the worst things you could do as a parent. It's something that was hammered into my head growing up. And while my mom and dad are not professional authorities on parenting, I can confirm from experience that they had a point.

People always ask about my dad and his comedic influence. It's funny because my mom is really the comedian of our household.

Entertainment seems to be the only arena where children who pursue the work of their parents, which is an inherently natural thing to do, is met with a lot of skepticism.

I always try, if I can, to travel before I start a writing project. For me, travelling is my education. It inspires me, and it clears my mind and allows me to come back with a cleansed palate.

Wise people, my parents.

I'm a worrier by nature.

A lot of queer characters get painted with either a caricature brush, or they're used to teach, in a way.

It's important to tell queer stories and to show queer relationships in a very normal setting.

My name is Dan, and I'm a technoholic.

I was such a bad red-carpet host.

Gay relationships have historically not been treated the same as straight relationships.

I've been a lover of fashion my whole life.

A lot of queer relationships on television and in films are met with extreme tragedy.

I've never really loved mean comedy.

I never felt comfortable hosting TV.

I came from a theater background and always wanted to act.

On this Veterans Day, let us remember the service of our veterans, and let us renew our national promise to fulfill our sacred obligations to our veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much so that we can live free.

Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy and employ almost half of the working population. Yet because of their size, they rarely have access to the same information security resources as large firms.

The high prices also highlight the fact that the U.S. is too heavily dependent on fossil fuels that we import from unstable parts of the world. To protect our national security, we must become more energy secure.

I hope that we can continue this cooperation on other critical issues related to America's future technological competitiveness. We must work together to encourage the creative talents that have made our country the world leader in technology.

On the battlefield, the military pledges to leave no soldier behind. As a nation, let it be our pledge that when they return home, we leave no veteran behind.

Yet, despite our many advances, our environment is still threatened by a range of problems, including global climate change, energy dependence on unsustainable fossil fuels, and loss of biodiversity.

A lot of Americans think we need to stand stronger. I don't disagree with that. But that doesn't mean you go picking fights with countries all around the world. That's not the way to be a stronger, more secure America.

With courage and character, American soldiers continue to put themselves on the line to defend our freedom, and so many have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Right now too much American time and resources are spent dealing with situations caused by our dependence on oil that we import from unstable countries.

Increasing cyber-physical system complexity brings security challenges as well as privacy challenges.

Our Nation must provide sufficient access to healthcare, adequate benefits, and the supplemental resources our veterans were promised and so dearly need. We owe our heroes no less.

My heart goes out to children around the world who face terrible poverty. But the United States cannot give asylum to every child in that situation. It would not be sustainable. But we should care for those who are truly in danger.

I see incredible opportunities for transportation to benefit from rapidly advancing automation, connectivity, and information technologies.

We know that at conception, the genetic code is there for a unique individual. This is not something that is just a religious belief.

The first step in securing our cyber future is education, and that means everything from educating individuals to companies to the next generation of IT professionals.

Investing in rail is an easy way to reduce congestion, cost, and energy consumption and make our producers more competitive.

One problem we face in policymaking is the danger of having technology develop faster than the legal and regulatory system can react, potentially risking safety as well as efficient development and testing.

But cord blood also holds the great potential of producing pleural potential cells that could cure many other diseases such as juvenile diabetes, a disease that I live with every day.
