or it was health or it was other issues. It is only recently that economic values have superceded every other human value. Anita Roddick The physical fabric of the world had to be such as to enable that ten billion year preliminary evolution to produce the raw materials of life. Without it there would not have been the chemical materials to allow life to evolve here on earth. John Polkinghorne I respect the Hall of Fame, and if they think that I'm worthy enough, I would be very honored. And if they don't, I gave it all that I had to this game. Rafael Palmeiro I'm pleased the administration is endorsing the need for legislation dealing with the chemical sector. In the past, the administration's position has been ambiguous. Susan Collins When I was 12 years old, I was hanging out with 23-year-olds. I was into cartoons and Pokemon, and they're all talking about girls. It was a strange way to grow up. Shaun White I read everything. I've always got a b

or see much of what I do. I never care how I look. Scott Bakula I was 17 when I released my first record. I didn't really figure out what I wanted to say, how to get a message and put it together. Sydney Wayser I've always liked simple. Growing up, I wore corduroys and Lacoste shirts, Maraolo flats, and maybe one gold bracelet. Aerin Lauder I started off with violin, then I started learning guitar, then I went to piano. But I self-taught piano just because I enjoyed it. I've always really enjoyed music. Jesse Spencer Stand up and pledge with me: A government of the United States is not on the auction block. And America is not for sale! Tom Selleck Religion is a very personal thing for me. Religion has its good moments and its poor moments. Elie Wiesel Sweet, delicious Dungeness crab is always a treat. Tom Douglas I'm feeling around for what happens in a post-'Peep Show' world. Robert Webb I'd refer to myself as a feminist. I don't

a congenial male who will see in her, not only sex, but also the human being, the friend, the comrade and strong individuality, who cannot and ought not lose a single trait of her character. Emma Goldman We had every kind of audience you could name. Young, old, not-so-old, some older than old, some younger than young: they were there, they were there! There was everything. John Hunter Music is something that always lifts my spirits and makes me happy, and when I make music I always hope it will have the same effect on whoever listens to it. Aaron Carter God is not disillusioned with us. He never had any illusions to begin with. Luis Palau Genre is a bookstore problem, not a literary problem. Rick Moody We are the recorders and reporters of facts - not the judges of the behaviors we describe. Alfred Kinsey Power has only one duty - to secure the social welfare of the People. Benjamin Disraeli

and getting free stuff all the time - but really, one of the worst things is not knowing what's coming next. You could shoot a pilot, and they could have you on hold for six months waiting to find out what is going to happen with the show, and you're locked into it. Nick Kroll What, I sometimes wonder, would it be like if I lived in a country where winter is a matter of a few chilly days and a few weeks' rain; where the sun is never far away, and the flowers bloom all year long? Anna Neagle Of course there have been times I regretted being the kid in 'E.T.' My world went completely crazy. I was that stupid kind of famous, where you can't go anywhere. Henry Thomas A lot of the stuff I have done had been not only the likable guy, but like the nice likable guy. Ron Livingston It doesn't have to be a problem for children to be fat, but it does affect you: you aren't as happy in that skin. Harry Melling They always want me to play myself and th

thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name. William Morris So, fall asleep love, loved by me... for I know love, I am loved by thee. Robert Browning As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round. Ben Hogan And soon, too soon, we part with pain, To sail o'er silent seas again. Thomas Moore The first step, my son, which one makes in the world, is the one on which depends the rest of our days. Voltaire Soap and water and common sense are the best disinfectants. William Osler There are no insuperable constitutional difficulties. Lionel Murphy

bomb of instantaneous moral explosions, but against the strong walls of an impregnable fortress strongly built up, stone by stone, beginning at that distant day when the foundations were first laid. Maria Montessori 'Mission: Impossible' is fun. But for myself as an artist, I'm really more concerned with the human condition, the human experience, especially from an African American point of view. Ving Rhames Woe to those who die in mortal sin! Francis of Assisi I had more energy at 50. On the other hand, at 75, I've probably got a little more wisdom and good judgment than I had at 50 because I've got more experience. But I haven't really changed. I'm still driven by the same philosophy. Ted Turner I let the whole 'Grease' experience be a springboard for me. I wanted to use the exposure I got from that very wisely to continue a successful career. It's taken a lot of work and perseverance. Laura Osnes The Hollywood Film Awards were r

foreseen when I was young, a writing career that's reached a lot of different places. Francisco Goldman I think one of the main reasons I write is to do better than ranting. The ranting is the opinion, and the writing is not the opinion. I always say that people's opinions are the worst things about them. The words demand a dignity. Howard Jacobson Do what you say you're going to do. And try to do it a little better than you said you would. Jimmy Dean There's always a fundamental misery that's with me that I always relate to some bit of loss or something. I don't know what it is about me, but even though I'm happy on the surface, there's something there, I guess. So, it all comes from wherever it comes from. I really don't know where that is. Don McLean My twenties were entirely taken up with literature. Entirely. Thomas McGuane The idea that an actress - mostly lauded for her performances in more than a dozen films - somehow represent

live because he didn't have a good acoustic, and he's a terrific player. David Crosby You cannot manage an airline from a corner office in Willis Tower. That doesn't work. You've got to manage by walking around. Jeff Smisek In 1989, a lone and still-anonymous Chinese student stood unarmed in front of a Chinese tank and gave the world an enduring image of the determination of China's young to change their nation. He didn't text message the tank or share a video on YouTube. Tom Brokaw I have never turned to my girlfriend and said, 'Oh, okay, babe,' and I see it in scripts all the time. Casey Wilson I take my mobile phone and iPad wherever I go. I like to switch off when I'm on holiday, but I always check emails in case someone at home is trying to get hold of me. Olly Murs I write while I'm walking, on little scraps of paper. If I have a melody going, I can feel it for days. Juan Felipe Herrera As independent filmmakers, we are ac

about ten times more massive than the Earth. Dimitar Sasselov I always think my face is quite nondescript - it sort of fits in to any period. It's not really distinct enough for you to remember me from something. Kimberley Nixon I'm a pretty tenacious person; I get that from my mom. So sometimes, I use dark humor. I can't take myself too seriously. Art Alexakis My dad's a scientist, and my mom's a teacher, so I didn't grow up in a family that was into the entertainment world at all. Eloise Mumford I enjoy practicing law too much to even contemplate retiring, but I often think about engaging in serious study of the history of art, of the intricacies of classical music. I could write a fugue, or perhaps learn to play the cello. Karen DeCrow I graduated from college with a 3.92 GPA with a degree in computer programming and a BFA in fine arts and animation. My first job was painting a mural in the Grimaldi's in Queens. JWoww In my career as a d

this worthy effort with a flawed privatization scheme that takes the 'security' out of Social Security. Mary Landrieu I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant. H. L. Mencken A critical factor in its success was that the X developers were willing to give the sources away for free in accordance with the hacker ethic, and able to distribute them over the Internet. Eric S. Raymond The issue is not abortion. The issue is whether women can make up their own mind instead of some right-wing pastor, some right-wing politician telling them what to do. Howard Dean Substance must emanate from spirit and is nothing else than the record of the spirit's conception of itself finding expression in space and time. Paul Twitchell I am not in this world to live up to other people's expectations, nor do I feel that the world must live up to mine. Frit
