• The perspective that law enforcement is presenting seems to be a very narrow one that's focused very, very heavily on investigations of past crimes rather than on preventing future crimes. It's very important for policymakers to take that broader view because they're the ones who are trusted to look at the big picture.

• Chess players, people who travel all over the world, should be trusted or else not sent anywhere at all.

And when they were needed, they weren't to be found.

• But thou, through good and evil, praise and blame,
  Wilt not thou love me for myself alone?
  Yes, thou wilt love me with exceeding love,
  And I will tenfold all that love repay;
  Still smiling, though the tender may reprove,
  Still faithful, though the trusted may betray.

• The motto stated a lie. If this nation has ever trusted in God, that time has gone by; for nearly half a century almost its entire trust has been in the Republican party and the dollar--mainly the dollar.

• I also wanted to have fun with it. I wanted to have the scope, which I felt Merlin has, in his Machiavellian bi-polar way. He's not to be trusted, yet he is fighting for this great power and is really a master, to some degree, in orchestrating Camelot and King Arthur. He's a strange, dark devious character, and I just wanted to have fun, and get away from the cloak and long beard and pointy hat.
