I've been getting a lot of science fiction scripts which contained variations on my 'Star

Trek' character and I've been turning them down. I strongly feel that the next role I do, I should not be wearing spandex. Marina Sirtis There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever. Mahatma Gandhi I don't know if we even mentioned UFOs. It was to find out why Barney was emotionally upset. Betty Hill I'm hyperactive, and I went in the studio and I would just start making records, for no reason. Sean Combs Time heals all wounds, unless you pick at them. Shaun Alexander The Beatles saved the world from boredom. George Harrison The world is divided into two categories: failures and unknowns. Francis Picabia

We just did a show in Providence, Rhode Island, and we got three puppy shots

before we even got on the air, which was great. Although sometimes you get flashed by some puppies that you'd rather not see. They're more like mongrels. Jerry Lawler Let us be of cheer, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come. Amy Lowell Acting is like a Halloween mask that you put on. River Phoenix Undoubtedly, there are numerous problems with the immigration system here in The United States. Corrine Brown In everything truth surpasses the imitation and copy. Marcus Tullius Cicero Crises are challenges, not calamities. Guy Verhofstadt I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park. Dolly Parton

I inherited a sick economy and passed on a sound one. But one abiding regret

for me is that, in between, I did not have the resources to put in place the educational and social changes about which I cared to much; I made only a beginning, and it was not enough. John Major In politics the middle way is none at all. John Adams There's no greater way to gain an audience's sympathy than by being unfortunate. Seth Green Anyone who knows a strange fact shares in its singularity. Jean Genet The Beach Boys are not a superstar group. The music is the superstar of the group. Dennis Wilson I don't care who does the electing, so long as I get to do the nominating. Boss Tweed Many intelligence reports in war are contradictory; even more are false, and most are uncertain. Carl von Clausewitz

When you have energy companies like Shell and British Petroleum, both of which are perhaps

represented in this room, saying there is a problem with excess carbon dioxide emission, I think we ought to listen. James Baker The world is ruled only by consideration of advantages. Friedrich Schiller Courage means to keep working a relationship, to continue seeking solutions to difficult problems, and to stay focused during stressful periods. Denis Waitley The very aim and end of our institutions is just this: that we may think what we like and say what we think. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. I am not opposed to intelligence reform on its face, but any changes should reflect the current context. Ted Stevens It is never easy for anyone to have success in music. Billy Sheehan Before you can do something you must first be something. John Gielgud

It doesn't really exist; it's just basically lots of different stages between the two pieces,

and you end up with, like, a third shape that doesn't exist but is suggested to you by the image. Sean Booth I'm convinced that had I not changed my name, I don't think I would have had quite the same career curve that I eventually had. Ben Kingsley Elegance is innate. It has nothing to do with being well dressed. Elegance is refusal. Diana Vreeland You must not lean on a tree on Sabbath, if the tree might be dependent on you for support. Ovadia Yosef Our best thoughts come from others. Ralph Waldo Emerson When you do a job like this you have to like having cold sweat on your back. John Pomfret I love oldies just kind of sweet, slinky, Fifties music. The slow stuff. And Billie Holiday. Nastassja Kinski

The work of the political activist inevitably involves a certain tension between the requirement that

position be taken on current issues as they arise and the desire that one's contributions will somehow survive the ravages of time. Angela Davis It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other. Francis Bacon The only way to quieten me is to invite me to a tennis match. John Forsythe Run for office? No. I've slept with too many women, I've done too many drugs, and I've been to too many parties. George Clooney You don't choose. I just go where the work is. Jacqueline McKenzie It is the mind that maketh good or ill, That maketh wretch or happy, rich or poor. Michel de Montaigne A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large. Henry Ford

Our covering ministry is Challenge for Christ ministries, and Travel the Road was solely our

mission arm, designed to expose people to what missions are, then connect them with agencies that send people out. Michael Scott The courts are as a stage, people love to see attractive players. Anna Kournikova I am ready any time. Do not keep me waiting. John Mason Brown Back of ninety-nine out of one-hundred assertions that a thing cannot be done is nothing, but the unwillingness to do it. William Feather He's suffering from Politicians' Logic. Something must be done, this is something, therefore we must do it. Antony Jay Since it is not granted to us to live long, let us transmit to posterity some memorial that we have at least lived. E. Joseph Cossman The right to revolt has sources deep in our history. William O. Douglas

Can you hang in there with your investigators when things get going tough? Don't give

up on investigators because they have a little weakness. Work with them until the Holy Ghost tells you not to. Richard G. Scott Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes. Friedrich Nietzsche I haven't been to a movie in a year and a half. James Ellroy Once we open the door to the plutonium economy, we expose ourselves to absolutely terrible, horrifying risks from these people. David R. Brower Comedy comes from conflict, from hatred. Warren Mitchell Adult stem cells tend not to form tumors. Virginia Foxx Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Aleister Crowley

The broadest pattern of history - namely, the differences between human societies on different continents

- seems to me to be attributable to differences among continental environments, and not to biological differences among peoples themselves. Jared Diamond Generals think war should be waged like the tourneys of the Middle Ages. I have no use for knights; I need revolutionaries. Adolf Hitler Like everyone else who makes the mistake of getting older, I begin each day with coffee and obituaries. Bill Cosby I'm inspired by nature. Other artist's work is important for developing my perception. Mike Thompson I had a million questions to ask God: but when I met Him, they all fled my mind; and it didn't seem to matter. Christopher Morley Borrowing is not much better than begging; just as lending with interest is not much better than stealing. Doris Lessing It's a lot easier to tell the truth usually. Elliott Smith

To unfold the secret laws and relations of those high faculties of thought by which

all beyond the merely perceptive knowledge of the world and of ourselves is attained or matured, is a object which does not stand in need of commendation to a rational mind. George Boole Every one soon or late comes round by Rome. Robert Browning I never see failure as failure, but only as the game I must play and win. Tom Hopkins The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom. Aristotle Jim mentioned I was an ALEC member, and that's correct.

I don't know the taxpayer has perhaps much of an understanding of just how much

wealth has been and is being and can be created that flows through the economy and just how many jobs depend upon it.

Jim Walsh Similes prove nothing, but yet greatly lighten and relieve the tedium of argument. Robert South During the 60's, drug use was in fashion in the U.S. Bill Toomey I love songs that have a rocking and grooving feeling. Joe Cocker I created no authority that wasn't already there under the constitution. John Engler Everybody has a different definition of the good side. Will Wright

The paradigm of competition is a race: by rewarding the winner, we encourage everyone to

run faster. When capitalism really works this way, it does a good job; but its defenders are wrong in assuming it always works this way. Richard Stallman I was born in Taunton, Massachusetts on June 1, 1917, but I actually grew up in nearby New Bedford.

Hans Bender I strongly believe that we as a nation can be both secure and free. Jon Corzine

Gemeoss

Super-Earths are how we call a family of planets... up to two times larger and

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

What troubles me most about my lovely country is that its children are seldom taught

that American freedom will vanish, if, when they grow up, and in the exercise of their duties as citizens, they insist that our courts and policemen and prisons be guided by divine or natural law. Kurt Vonnegut Insurance companies want to make sure that you stay on your medicine. Rick Smolan I really like to rock it natural and let my hair go wild, but when I do style it, I slick all the hair over to one side with pins. It's either that or a messy bun. Tori Kelly There is just one exception to the FCC's no-throttling rule - if a company can prove that throttling is 'reasonable network management.' Marvin Ammori Both my best and my worst habit is that I'm very impulsive. Tove Lo People want change. How is Barack going to do it? I think McCain can bring change. Stephen Baldwin Nobody ever said I'm a simple personality. Rabih Alameddine From day one, since I was traded to the Clippers, the team has been amazing to not only me, but to my family.

I would absolutely love to go back to the simplicity of the '80s, where there

wasn't texting, social media, iPhones, or smartphones. I love the fact that you would go home and check your messages. I'm not well suited to the world of modern technology. Matthew Rhys I like the performing. And interviews, even. And the stuff that's not sitting in a room by yourself with empty paper. But I never loved writing, to tell you the truth. Randy Newman When you break a sweat you just feel great. You've got your endorphins going. You feel better. You look better. And if you aren't able to get a workout in, try to find a steam room somewhere. You just look and feel so much better after a sweat. Nicole Scherzinger I grew up kind of a tomboy and I used to fight with all the neighborhood boys. Edie Falco I like the body. I like to design everything to do with the body. Gianni Versace I have always been a Malibu Man, like all actors. Nick Mancuso Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. Paulo Coelho My

I was always under the impression that acting is an innate gift. One of the

first things I heard them say at Koothu-P-Pattarai was that actors should realise the art of acting through their training. Vijay Sethupathi I remember auditioning for 'Moulin Rouge!,' the part that Ewan McGregor played. I was so young: I was literally just out of college. Tobias Menzies When you have an opportunity to do a series, you want to stick it out. You don't know when you're going to get another one like that again. Cleavant Derricks I am a really great daughter. Millie Bobby Brown Let us fight until the end. Let me try at least that - fight. Pep Guardiola You can have an idea that everyone else thinks is dumb, and it's still a good idea. Ryan North When there is a ring on my finger, which is actually given to me, then I'll tell the world. Till then, no one can claim me. Priyanka Chopra You need not fear my extinction. Fear my proliferation! I've already reproduced! Lydia Millet We are at a point in our nation's history w

I think you have to take each movie for its own value. There will be

those you'll roll your eyes over and others you can't wait to see. It all has to do with the intention. If someone's intention is just to make money and exploit something for profit, then it's not good. If it's thoughtfully done, the proof's in the pudding.Carrie-Anne Moss I basically applied to law school as a way of telling my parents that I wasn't going to medical school.John Delaney At a certain point, if you still have your marbles and are not faced with serious financial challenges, you have a chance to put your house in order. It's a cliche, but it's underestimated as an analgesic on all levels. Putting your house in order, if you can do it, is one of the most comforting activities, and the benefits of it are incalculable.Leonard Cohen I simply love coming to Chennai. My wife always complains, saying, 'You literally run at the mention of Chennai - I wonder what it is about that place!' I love how everyone is active here 24/7.

Growing up in northern California has had a big influence on my love and respect

for the outdoors. When I lived in Oakland, we would think nothing of driving to Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz one day and then driving to the foothills of the Sierras the next day. Tom Hanks The merit of a democratic regime rests on one's continual willingness to exchange views, and to compete on the basis of individual merit and capacities. Jose Eduardo dos Santos I love artists like Jon B, but I don't wanna be compared to anybody. I'm just doing my interpretation of rnb and how someone like me should be doing it. Brian Harvey In recent years, we have been sending a clear, consistent signal about the harms of drugs, particularly marijuana, which for most young people is the first illegal drug that they are exposed to. John Walters It is not necessary that whilst I live I live happily; but it is necessary that so long as I live I should live honourably. Immanuel Kant When I go to a concert, I can't believe that people pay lots of money to see a band that t

I wanted to be a doctor at one point and I also wanted to be

a pilot. I think if you grow up in a dodgy area, reality often beats down those ambitions as you get older. But with me that never really happened. James McAvoy I know what it's like to start a business. I know how extra ordinarily difficult it is to build something from nothing. I know how government kills jobs and, yes, I know how it can help from time- to-time. Mitt Romney I do, however, feel reasonably strongly the sense that the job of a piece of argumentative scholarly non-fiction is not the same as the job of a piece of fiction. China Mieville I was raised to think cursing makes you look unintelligent. Chloe Grace Moretz Listen to many, speak to a few. William Shakespeare I get recognized so much. It happens mostly when I'm in Starbucks. Katee Sackhoff I am bundle of nerves riddled with irrational fears. Tori Spelling I wrote songs all my life, where anyone wanted to hear them or not. Tommy Shaw As a teenager especially, I just wanted to do my thi

Now I know that I should take better care of myself when I'm under an

intense deadline, or else my body is gonna act in certain ways that are not good. Tyra Banks It has endless possibilities, and but what we do with our arrangements, we move the borders of cello playing and discover new ways of new techniques of cello playing. Luka Sulic The most surprising thing, honestly, is that so few Americans know about the orphan trains. I was also surprised at the resilience and fortitude of the riders I met, their pragmatism and grace. I don't know whether this is a Midwestern trait or simply a human one. Christina Baker Kline OkCupid has users from 18 to 80 on the site. And we get to observe all of their actions. We get to watch how they use the site, how they interact with other people. Sam Yagan If you read any of my books, they tend to have a strong historical perspective. Eric Kandel My nickname is Dickie Jukebox. I own thousands and thousands and thousands of songs. Richard Simmons I do love the music aspect of the Internet. The Inte

I agree that we must expand opportunities for retirement saving, but we must not undermine

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

I don't like the idea of being eaten by a shark. I like to swim

in the ocean, and I think much more about sharks than anyone should. I really resent the fact that my oceangoing experiences are ruined by 'Jaws.' David Duchovny It needs to be said, over and over again, that Stan the Man was voted by 'The Sporting News' as the best baseball player of the postwar decade, from 1946 through 1955. George Vecsey We don't take anything when we pass away, and we need to do with the sense of responsibility. Carlos Slim No-one has ever called me a cool dude. I'm somewhere between geek and normal. Linus Torvalds I think in any relationship, even in the healthiest of relationships, we are all parents to each other at times. I think that's a normal, healthy sort of relationship. I think there are times when we're each a mother and a father when we need to be. Christopher Stanley I don't know if I can prepare for what's to come because I don't know what will. Daisy Ridley If you've got a camera, go
