I’ve never been a size zero, let me say that here and now. I’ve never been that sort of person.

As a general rule, when something gets elevated to apple-pie status in the hierarchy of American values, you have to suspect that its actual monetary value is skidding toward zero. Take motherhood: nobody ever thought of putting it on a moral pedestal until some brash feminists pointed out, about a century ago, that the pay is lousy and the career ladder nonexistent. Same thing with work: would we be so reverent about the ‘work ethic’ if it wasn’t for the fact that the average working stiff’s hourly pay is shrinking, year by year.

Zero problems with neighbors’ is a value. But another equally important value is to establish peace.

The zero-income-tax-rate states have far faster growth in tax revenues than did the states with highest income tax rate over this period.

I want to be clear. No company is too big to be prosecuted. We have zero tolerance for corporate fraud, but we also recognize the importance of avoiding collateral consequences whenever possible.

There is still zero empirical evidence that anthropogenic production of CO2 is making any measurable contribution to the world’s present warming trend.

All chess masters have on occasion played a magnificent game and then lost it by a stupid mistake, perhaps in time pressure and it may perhaps seem unjust that all their beautiful ideas get no other recognition than a zero on the tournament table.

I remember Tetro was a big deal to me at that time. It was going from zero to one: Never having been in a movie, a person who had no relationship to any of that, and that was my first movie.

I think we should all be pursuing something of zero regrets, and how do we become greater than we were yesterday.

Infuriatingly stupid analysts – especially people who called themselves Arabists, yet who seemed to know next to nothing about the reality of the Islamic world – wrote reams of commentary [after 9/11]. Their articles were all about Islam saving Aristotle and the zero, which medieval Muslim scholars had done more than eight hundred years ago; about Islam being a religion of peace and tolerance, not the slightest bit violent. These were fairy tales, nothing to do with the real world I knew.

I don’t want a one-state solution. But I certainly don’t want a zero-state solution, a no-state solution, where Israel’s very existence would be jeopardized. And that’s what the people of Israel overwhelmingly elected me to do.

My level of intervention in the press, trying to control stories, is zero. Subzero.

Will gives us the ability to take an idea hold that idea and zero right in on something

Well, it’s hard to stumble And land in some muddy lagoon When it’s nine below zero And three o’clock in the afternoon.

Eradications are special. Zero is a magic number. You either do what it takes to get to zero and you’re glad you did it; or you get close, give up and it goes back to where it was before, in which case you wasted all that credibility, activity, money that could have been applied to other things.

The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to do that. So there is zero probability of default.

God is the tangential point between zero and infinity.

I’ve seen zero evidence of any nation on Earth other than Mexico even remotely having the slightest clue what Mexican food is about or even come close to reproducing it. It is perhaps the most misunderstood country and cuisine on Earth.

Our daughter was born in Chicago, and she’s already showing it. The temperature has to be approaching zero for her to wear a hat.

Everybody values their train, but they want to zero-out other people’s trains.

I’m a normal sized girl. I’m not a size double zero; I don’t weigh 90 pounds. I’m a healthy girl.

How on earth can otherwise sensible people get so involved in a football game? You could measure the lasting impact on the lives of the people who played it at just about zero.

If you look at the performance of the zero-income-tax-rate states and the highest-income-tax-rate states, I believe a large amount of their difference is due to taxes. Not only is it true of the last decade, but I took these numbers back 50 years. And, there’s not one year in the last 50 where the zero-income-tax-rate states have not outperformed the highest-income-tax-rate states.

I think it’s important to recognize that you can’t have 100 per cent security and also then have 100 per cent privacy and zero inconvenience…. In the abstract you can complain about Big Brother and how this is a potential program run amok, but when you actually look at the details then I think we’ve struck the right balance.

When the deeds that you do don’t add up to zero.

The best measure of a man’s honesty isn’t his income tax return. It’s the zero adjust on his bathroom scale.

No man should think himself a zero, and think he can do nothing about the state of the world.

My mantra has always been to have zero regrets in life. Everything I do at one speed, I go all-out.

I think there is nothing wrong with instituting policies that say that harassment of any form, whether it comes through the Internet or whether it happens to you face to face, is unacceptable; that we’ve got zero tolerance when it comes to sexual harassment, we have zero tolerance when it comes to harassing people because of their sexual orientation, because of their race, because of their ethnicity.

Take me, subtract movies, and you get zero.

We have two other countries, Pakistan and Afghanistan – again it’s the instability that is a problem there. So over the next several years, we expect to drive the number of [polio] cases back down to zero because that is likely to be the second disease after smallpox that we completely eradicate.

It is simply economically impossible to require controls that even approach zero emissions.

Society must cease to look upon ‘progress’ as something desirable. ‘Eternal Progress’ is a nonsensical myth. What must be implemented is not a ‘steadily expanding economy’, but a zero growth economy, a stable economy. Economic growth is not only unnecessary but ruinous.

My credibility is zero. My wife claims she can go before any judge at any time and have me committed.

When you have a product that has zero sales, it is easy for people to say whatever they want about it and almost fantasize about it.
