(Responding to questions about his estranged father, May 27, 2004.): My father was overbearing. Very controlling. He was always the way he is, even before my success. He was not always a good person. He`d play mind games to make sure I knew my place. I don`t see him, which is unfortunate. But I don`t have any desire to see him. I vaguely know where he is, and I don`t want to know. As long as he`s not standing outside my doorstep, I`m fine.

- Omar EppsThe higher the general average of intelligence, all things else being equal, the less the disposition to be meddlesome, critical, and overbearing.
- Paul HarrisIf the freedom of religion, guaranteed to us by law in theory, can ever rise in practice under the overbearing inquisition of public opinion, then and only then will truth, prevail over fanaticism
- Thomas Jefferson about why spy movies featuring kids are so popular)
Kristen: I think that it empowers kids, and kids like that because in real life when they`re at school teachers are kind of overbearing. Sometimes older people can kind of be patronizing. But when movies empower kids, I think they like it a lot.
