with you all that goes through my mind, all that weighs on my heart, all that gives air to my soul; phantoms of art, dreams that would be so beautiful if they could come true. Luigi Pirandello My impression was, he's walking as though he's made of glass, and if you should touch him he would just shatter apart. I don't know if it was an act or what, but it sure was effective. Robert Ripley How did we suddenly become entranced with gangster culture? I saw it this morning on campus. When did the black community say we should all look like criminals? Tim Reid To get an Oscar would be an incredible moment in my career, there is no doubt about that. But the 'Lord of the Rings' films are not made for Oscars, they are made for the audience. Peter Jackson In an industrial society which confuses work and productivity, the necessity of producing has always been an enemy of the desire to create. Raoul Vaneigem It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see

want to hurt an actor? - but because they want to get recognized. God forbid someone doesn't recognize them. James Caan I can still play this game at a high level; I've proven that. I want to be home. I want to be close to my family. I want to be close to my foundation and my business interests. Alonzo Mourning The relevance of Marxism to science is that it removes it from its imagined position of complete detachment and shows it as a part, but a critically important part, of economy and social development. John Desmond Bernal A mathematician, like a painter or a poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas. G. H. Hardy The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it. Thucydides There is nothing more imprudent than excessive prudence. Charles Caleb Colton Still falls the rain - dark as the

more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. John Stuart Mill Not a few other very eminent and scholarly men made the same request, urging that I should no longer through fear refuse to give out my work for the common benefit of students of Mathematics. Nicolaus Copernicus No one was ever saved because his sins were small; no one was ever rejected on account of the greatness of his sins. Where sin abounded, grace shall much more abound. Archibald Alexander Twilight is about getting older and relationships - not about a murder mystery. It's about love when you reach a certain age; nothing is in primary colors. Robert Benton It's such a joy to work with different ensembles and create a collaboration. Rehearsing and building a performance is very interesting for me. Cecilia Bartoli Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one re

a work of art is like a rose. A rose is not beautiful because it is like something else. Neither is a work of art. Roses and works of art are beautiful in themselves. Clive Bell Use gentle means before you come to extremity, and whatever lesson you work him, and never take above half his strength, nor ride him till he is weary, but a little at a time and often. William Cavendish My desire to exit the game is greater than my desire to remain in it. I have searched my heart through and through and feel comfortable with this decision. Barry Sanders When I look into the crowd, I see young and old, black and white - it's amazing that I'm able to connect with so many different kinds of people. Patti LaBelle Half the joy of life is in little things taken on the run... but let us keep our hearts young and our eyes open that nothing worth our while shall escape us. Victor Cherbuliez Virtue cannot separate itself from reality without becoming a principle of evil. Albert C

can perform superbly some of the same external tasks as conscious beings will be recognized as a gigantic waste of time. Thomas Nagel When you write a two thousand page history of the Second World War, the deportations and the concentration camps will take up five pages, and the gas chambers perhaps 20 lines. Jean-Marie Le Pen We want to get this good music to as many people as possible because I think it heals, it soothes, I think music is incredibly important, especially in today's chaos. Graham Nash When people come out of rehab, they usually go to secondary rehab for another six months and then enter back into society gradually. But I came out and did Top Of The Pops straight away! Robbie Williams Sometimes a piece of music in the score isn't effective. When a score is too well finished with too many elements, sometimes it's too much. Alejandro Amenabar I wish that every player could feel what I've felt in visiting ballparks. The receptions I've r

a man carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man-made sound never equalled the purity of the sound achieved by the pig. Alfred Hitchcock I've always looked upon the Ducks as caricature human beings. Perhaps I've been years writing in that middle world that J.R.R. Tolkien describes, and never knew it. Carl Barks We gain nothing by being with such as ourselves. We encourage one another in mediocrity. I am always longing to be with men more excellent than myself. Charles Lamb Could we have entered into the mind of Sir Isaac Newton, and have traced all the steps by which he produced his great works, we might see nothing very extraordinary in the process. Joseph Priestley There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; there's only scarcity of resolve to make it happen. Wayne Dyer For the source of any characteristic so widespread and uniform as this adaptation to environment we must go back to the very beginn

and a passive, or even active, hostility to the religious. Such results are not only not compelled by the Constitution, but, it seems to me, are prohibited by it. Arthur Goldberg I design for real people. I think of our customers all the time. There is no virtue whatsoever in creating clothing or accessories that are not practical. Giorgio Armani Franz Kline, who became known for his black and white paintings, did a whole series of gorgeous landscapes and wonderful portraits that may still hang in Greenwich Village. David Amram I used to be with a publishing house called Roosevelt Music. A gentleman there told me he had seen Peggy Lee perform Fever in Las Vegas and I found out later she wanted to record it. Otis Blackwell It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it. George Washington If there is one Osama bin Laden now, there will be 100 bin Ladens afterwards. Hosni Mubarak You're a go

consequences; obviously you wouldn't specify what consequences are best, they may be different in some circumstances, so at a lower, more specific level, you may well get differences. Peter Singer We are the miracle of force and matter making itself over into imagination and will. Incredible. The Life Force experimenting with forms. You for one. Me for another. The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts. Ray Bradbury The engineer, and more generally the designer, is concerned with how things ought to be - how they ought to be in order to attain goals, and to function. Herbert Simon The reason that a good citizen does not use such destructive means to become wealthier is that, if everyone did so, we would all become poorer from the mutual destructiveness. Richard Stallman Though man a thinking being is defined, Few use the grand prerogative of mind. How few think justly of the thinking few! How many never think, who think they do! Jane Taylor I

that Wal-Mart Stores is going to be aggressive in taking care of customers, taking care of our associates, communications and merchandising. Lee Scott Non-citizen terrorist suspects are not members of the American national community, and they have no proper claim on the rights Americans accord one another. Richard Perle To me, living in the present means being aware of your conscious choice to focus on the past, present or future - it is not necessarily having to focus on the present. Bo Bennett Often and often afterwards, the beloved Aunt would ask me why I had never told anyone how I was being treated. Children tell little more than animals, for what comes to them they accept as eternally established. Rudyard Kipling In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves... self-discipline with all of them came first. Harry S Truman Morality is a private and costly luxury. Henry Adams We all just kinda did everything we though

time the women's movement was taking off. Ours was the first prime-time one-hour show featuring a strong, professional woman. It paved the way for other series to follow. Angie Dickinson I have never yet seen any plan which has not been mended by the observations of those who were much inferior in understanding to the person who took the lead in the business. Edmund Burke Extremists and populist movements are exploiting people's fear of those who are not like us. We can see the consequences in the form of terrorism and racially motivated violence. Kjell Magne Bondevik Knowledge, the object of knowledge and the knower are the three factors which motivate action; the senses, the work and the doer comprise the threefold basis of action. Friedrich Schiller A child is owed the greatest respect; if you have ever have something disgraceful in mind, don't ignore your son's tender years. Juvenal I didn't realize how many true Rockabilly fans there were here in

court scene the likes of which I don't think you've ever seen. Hollywood said this is James Patterson meets John Grisham. James Patterson The shortest and surest way of arriving at real knowledge is to unlearn the lessons we have been taught, to mount the first principles, and take nobody's word about them. Henry IV of England Well, if storytelling is important, then your narrative ability, or your ability to put into words or use what someone else has put into words effectively, is important too. Howard Gardner True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost. Arthur Ashe We must overcome the notion that we must be regular... it robs you of the chance to be extraordinary and leads you to the mediocre. Uta Hagen I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity. Albert Einstein All the forms of civil polity have

all of the great CBS shows. I think I'm prepared, so if you're ready, let's have the first item up for bids. Ray Combs When a baby comes you can smell two things: the smell of flesh, which smells like chicken soup, and the smell of lilies, the flower of another garden, the spiritual garden. Carlos Santana Now that I'm being very successful, publishers are trying to mainstream me, but I'm unabashedly genre. It's what I like to read, what I like to write. Laurell K. Hamilton I have had fans make me the big picture collages of the photo books; I have had fans send me birthday cakes... sing to me on my voicemail. I have had fans flash me. I have had older fans give me their bras and underwear onstage. Sean Combs Freedom. And Justice. If you have those two, it covers everything. You must stick to those principles and have the courage of your convictions. Ian Smith If you put somebody on a crack pipe and give them a 9 mm Baretta, you don't have to b

in my own head. I had no image beyond a stick figure. I wasn't a mean person as a kid, or dumb, and something has to be said to justify excluding you. Uma Thurman In vain shall Great Britain confer upon her colonies the free government and liberal principles of legislation, for which she is distinguished, if she do not carry with her the revelations of God. John Strachan Friends are very important to me, and I have always had many of them. There are probably many reasons why this is so, but two seem to me more valid than any of the others I am a naturally friendly person, and I hate to be alone. Georg Solti A child's fear is a world whose dark corners are quite unknown to grownup people; it has its sky and its abysses, a sky without stars, abysses into which no light can ever penetrate. Julien Green Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility. Saint Augustine Yes, I definitely believ

have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much. Joseph Conrad Why can't somebody give us a list of things that everybody thinks and nobody says, and another list of things that everybody says and nobody thinks? Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. From you we have learned what we, at least, value, to separate Church and State; and from you we gather inspiration at all times in our devotion to learning, to religious liberty, and to individual and National freedom. Seth Low Genius goes around the world in its youth incessantly apologizing for having large feet. What wonder that later in life it should be inclined to raise those feet too swiftly to fools and bores. F. Scott Fitzgerald Strangely enough, the first character in Fried Green Tomatoes was the cafe, and the town. I think a place can be as much a character in a novel as the people. Fannie Flagg We never see ourselves as others see us. Oliver Har

networks, we can continue to make a difference. It is one more element we have to use in the ongoing effort to take back our country. Robert Greenwald Nobody heard him, the dead man, But still he lay moaning. I was much further out than you thought, and not waving but drowning. I was much too far out all my life, And not waving but drowning. Stevie Smith I think a moratorium probably is legal, and we should probably for a short period of time impose a moratorium so that we don't permit any additional landfill permits for the time being, so we don't exacerbate the problem. Ed Rendell The first requisite of a sound monetary system is that it put the least possible power over the quantity or quality of money in the hands of the politicians. Henry Hazlitt I'll think of the idea and then I'll write something down, then within that there will be a joke or two which is the original thing which I thought was funny. David Cross Social Security makes up a much larg

experience. I find I am a better mother, lover and wife when I am writing. When my daughter was small I wasn't writing as much and I didn't miss it. Helen Slater It was at Bell Labs that I first made direct contact with real semiconductor experts and thus began to fully understand what amazing materials they were and what they could do. Robert B. Laughlin Although the war in which you fought took place more than half-a-century ago, your courage, your sacrifice and your patriotism reaches through the decades and inspires us today. Mike Ferguson I think most people don't like others who, without a voice of their own, emulate the other. I certainly don't want anybody just to pick up my thoughts and hand them back to me. Marguerite Young Over the years your bodies become walking autobiographies, telling friends and strangers alike of the minor and major stresses of your lives. Marilyn Ferguson It did not come naturally; in fact, it would be difficult to conce

I have posters of myself on the wall, but at the same time, I'm kind of ready for a little bit of it, but I worry for my little one, and my family - their privacy. That's what I'm more protective of. Hugh Jackman By encouraging renewable energy sources such as wind energy, we boost South Dakota's economy and we help reduce America's dependence on foreign oil. Tim Johnson Small businesses provide 75 percent of new U.S. jobs and are the backbone of our economy, and no outdated ban should be keeping small business owners from collecting the same interest their money could earn if it were held by an individual. Sue Kelly I'll continue to work to ensure that safety and I am honored to have earned the endorsement of the men and women who provide public safety in our city. Alan Autry The true worth of an experimenter consists in his pursuing not only what he seeks in his experiment, but also what he did not seek. Claude Bernard Sometimes I get the start

again. We quickly moved to give law enforcement more power to do this. But that now begs the question, did we move to fast? Did we give too much power away? I don't have the answer. Michael Connelly If you live in Israel and you see the way life is there and then you go abroad and see the way Israel is reported on, the way that Israel gets reported on night after night is simply pictures of bombings or military actions. Douglas Feith I never was good at learning things. I did just enough work to pass. In my opinion it would have been wrong to do more than was just sufficient, so I worked as little as possible. Manfred von Richthofen Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak. Thomas Carlyle I have said this in the past and I will continue to repeat it as long as I live: Whoever tries to hurt our national unity is my enemy until the da

is subversive of the function of judicial review; and it is not the less so because the Court promises to allow it only when the Constitution is moved to the left. Robert Bork I cannot join the space program and restart my life as an astronaut, but this opportunity to connect my abilities as an educator with my interests in history and space is a unique opportunity to fulfill my early fantasies. Christa McAuliffe Kids just don't read any more. They spend much more time with video games. It's just hard to get kids to read anything. Book sales have dropped dramatically, too. I think 90% of the books are bought only by 5% of the US population. Stan Sakai However, the Department of Defense treats these detainees in accord with the Geneva Convention, even though that is not required because of the inhumane methods used by these killers. Bill Shuster Wars are not acts of God. They are caused by man, by man-made institutions, by the way in which man has organized his socie

to do, we want an uncommon engineer, and when we are at war, we want an uncommon general. It is only when we get into politics that we are satisfied with the common man. Herbert Hoover What I like about playing America is you can be pretty sure you're not going to get hit with a full can of beer when you're singing and I really enjoy that! Joe Strummer For the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling the whole state; since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions. Plato If you're sitting in that audience ready to fight me from the very beginning, I'm going to have a hard time getting to you. But if you've got a heart at all, I'm going to get it. Betty Carter Cambodia possesses now the rights to look far into the future and everything for making a future construction is waiting for the Cambodian own efforts. Hun Sen I don't think you can ever do your best. Doing you

is all profit, it completes our education, founds and fosters our friendships, and can be enjoyed at any age and in almost any state of health. Robert Louis Stevenson It's a fun day, a day which kicks off the start of our tour, it's got great tradition - Australian cricketers just love tradition - and it's been a really pleasant day. Matthew Hayden The Stones don't really need to do it for money, so they must get some kind of pleasure out of it. They're not like a group that's disbanded and gone away and made a comeback. They've always been there. Mick Taylor I suggest to you that increasing the size of America's economic pie - which can be achieved only if everybody has a seat at the table - is the most important challenge facing our country today. William Weld My girlfriend at the time convinced me to send these songs to Cavity Search. When they wanted to put out my record I was totally shocked. Elliott Smith I think it puts baseball bac

a costly parade, and he who depends on his own power to rule, must strengthen that power by bribing the active and enterprising whom he cannot intimidate. James F. Cooper Because we have so much eye candy and mind candy, spending so much time trying to pay the rent, all of this conspires to keep us from thinking too hard or taking action from that. Our time is stolen. So much of our daily life is stolen. Lydia Lunch See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky? M. Night Shyamalan No society lies nearer to the cyclonic path of the forces of world change than the United States, and few societies are more intellectually aware of the nature of the issues that have to be faced. Christopher Dawson What feeling is so nice as a child's hand in yours? So small, so soft and warm, like a kitten huddling in the shelter of your clasp. Marjorie Holmes Middle Age is th

system that, once the judge takes office that judge will feel that he or she is to decide the case without reference to the popular thing or the popular will of the moment. Stephen Breyer Make women rational creatures, and free citizens, and they will quickly become good wives; - that is, if men do not neglect the duties of husbands and fathers. Mary Wollstonecraft Our moments of inspiration are not lost though we have no particular poem to show for them; for those experiences have left an indelible impression, and we are ever and anon reminded of them. Henry David Thoreau I was delighted to have lines when they came - learning lines for film isn't a problem, but television is a little different, because we shot those shows the whole way through. David Selby A particular shot or way of moving the ball can be a player's personal signature, but efficiency of performance is what wins the game for the team. Pat Riley I have a great respect for the academics who are w

solid as to prevent the entrance of the water in which she is immersed: and a cask is called tight, when the staves are so close that none of the liquid contained therein can issue through or between them. William Falconer They had scarcely established themselves, however, before another company of Jackson county citizens, chiefly from around Independence, organized to drive them off. Cole Younger Next to enjoying ourselves, the next greatest pleasure consists in preventing others from enjoying themselves, or, more generally, in the acquisition of power. Bertrand Russell When I came to DreamWorks, I was in bad trouble. They were in bad trouble. They were millions of dollars in the hole and a few days from closing their doors. I was on my last leg. Toby Keith Last winter when I was coming home from church one Thursday evening, I saw somebody run around the house again. I told my father of that. Lizzie Andrew Borden If you want a place in the sun, you have to expect a few

daily lives and put smiles on their faces, as opposed to what I see it being now, which is a way for me to actually communicate, and a way for me to tap into my subconscious. Alanis Morissette You and I are essentially infinite choice-makers. In every moment of our existence, we are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices. Deepak Chopra Some people come to our shows and think they're gonna spend the night just listening to love songs, and they're pretty much surprised cause we do a lot of rock and roll. Bobby Hatfield Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it. Douglas MacArthur It's good to have a title that's not just one word. If you're gonna title it, you might as well try and say something. Damien Hirst I think that one of the most fundamental responsibilities is to give testimony in a court of law,

as it is not yet scientifically feasible. I just can't understand how so many people are able to predict so much about something that still isn't scientifically possible. David R. Brower Occasionally, when I run into a great bass backstage at a festival I'll play a few notes on the low E string, just to feel the instrument vibrate against my belly. Steve Swallow I can't play bridge. I don't play tennis. All those things that people learn, and I admire, there hasn't seemed time for. But what there is time for is looking out the window. Alice Munro I am not judged by the number of times I fail, but by the number of times I succeed; and the number of times I succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times I can fail and keep on trying. Tom Hopkins I would have been a much more popular Wolrd Champion if I had always said what people wanted to hear. I might have been dead, but definitely more popular. Jackie Stewart Nothing is more beautiful tha

period because of that thinking that I was completely hopeless. But I think that's something that we all go through at various times of our lives and it was quite a sustained thing with me. Hugo Weaving It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes... we make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions - especially selfish ones. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn We, to some degree, are like what we are because we inherited certain things from the Greeks and the Romans. One of them that's so striking is the whole area of politics. Donald Kagan The whole concept of 'grounding' children is utterly stupid - they just go off and rebel and don't like you. When my kids eventually come along, I don't want them to not like me. Kate Winslet The theory seems to be that as long as a man is a failure he is one of God's children, but that as soon as he succeeds he is tak

by trade, but by work. Give up that foolish and vain title of Trades Unions; and take that of laborers Unions. John Ruskin The government of the United States is a device for maintaining in perpetuity the rights of the people, with the ultimate extinction of all privileged classes. Calvin Coolidge And the fact that you must make the movie for yourself because no one else will ever fully appreciate the endeavor, makes it a more rewarding challenge. Richard King One of the great attractions of patriotism - it fulfills our worst wishes. In the person of our nation we are able, vicariously, to bully and cheat. Bully and cheat, what's more, with a feeling that we are profoundly virtuous. Aldous Huxley On Wall Street he and a few others - how many? three hundred, four hundred, five hundred? had become precisely that... Masters of the Universe. Tom Wolfe Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it. Mia Hamm

to love children. Even tyrants and dictators make a point of being fond of children. But the affection and care for the old, the incurable, the helpless are the true gold mines of a culture. Abraham Joshua Heschel Basically, all my life I'd been told you can't do that because you're female. So I guess I just didn't pay any attention. I just went ahead and did what I could and then, when the stars aligned, I was ready. Shannon Lucid I would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him, he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone. Dwight D. Eisenhower The only conduct that merits the drastic remedy of impeachment is that which subverts our system of government or renders the president unfit or unable to govern. Charles Ruff When life is too easy for us, we must beware or we may not be ready to meet the blows which sooner or later come to everyone, rich or poor. Eleanor Roosevelt

to playing along with records. That's really the thing that got me into playing a lot - getting excited about playing along with my favorite bands like Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Chad Smith When I got into this, I never thought about reviews. I never thought about what people would say about me, I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor, and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do. Adam Sandler I want to block some common misunderstandings about 'understanding': In many of these discussions one finds a lot of fancy footwork about the word 'understanding.' John Searle What's the message in Metallica? There is no message, but if there was a message, it really should be look within yourself, don't listen to me, don't listen to James, don't listen to anybody, look within yourself for the answers. Lars Ulrich Everybody knows things are not the same. The people running the TV end of a major vertically integra

cannot change any of that. Only the work itself praises and criticizes the master, and therefore I leave to everyone his own value. Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach This is real human drama, we're not creating some amusement park ride for the summer. Even though the movie is really exciting to watch, it's got a real pathos behind it. John C. Reilly It's a difficult undertaking. I've been married for four years and I see this movie as a cautionary tale about people who've gone deeply out of communication. Mark Ruffalo The word 'belief' is a difficult thing for me. I don't believe. I must have a reason for a certain hypothesis. Either I know a thing, and then I know it - I don't need to believe it. Carl Jung We're warriors, this culture, and we're very puritanical about sex and very embracing about violence and I don't know why that is. Mark Ruffalo I was always a singer and a dancer, and I always wanted to be an actress. For me, it

career if I were a little more intimidating. Even the maid who comes to work for me once a week has found out that she can just trample over me... I'm a Cancer! We are not ferocious people. Karen Black Therefore, when I considered this carefully, the contempt which I had to fear because of the novelty and apparent absurdity of my view, nearly induced me to abandon utterly the work I had begun. Nicolaus Copernicus I represented many of these kids as they become young adults in the criminal justice system when I was a public defender. One way of reaching out is by the mind of experimentation. Matt Gonzalez Since the beginning, I always loved the game. When you grow up in Montreal, one day you want to be a professional hockey player. When I was six or seven, I knew that was what I wanted. Mario Lemieux If you don't understand that you work for your mislabeled 'subordinates', then you know nothing of leadership. You know only tyranny. Dee Hock With Jack Abram

many and various and powerful interests, combined into one mass, and held together by the cohesive power of the vast surplus in the banks. John C. Calhoun It was the early days of Rock 'n' Roll in this country. We were all struggling to learn music, it might be Country, Jazz, Classical, Blues or even Rock 'n' Roll. Jim Sullivan If you stick with a vision, it might not all work, but some of it will be absolute genius. To me, 15 minutes worth of absolute genius in a film is so much better than two hours of mediocrity. I would rather pay to see something different like that. Kim Cattrall I mean the only thing that is hopefully good about us is after the arguments we can actually still face each other the next day or the day after and talk about something else and sort of get over it. John Deacon Once I understood Bach's music, I wanted to be a concert pianist. Bach made me dedicate my life to music, and it was that teacher who introduced me to his world. N

are projecting to be over $1.1 billion in revenue in 2003, which puts us number one in our sector for onsite education and number two for online education in terms of revenue. John Larson My music is so often like a lullaby I write to myself to make sense of things I can't tie together, or things I've lost, or things I'll never have. Stephan Jenkins Just because you donate sperm does not make you a father. I don't have a father. I would never give him the credit or acknowledge him as my father. Sarah Michelle Gellar We have spoken of beings so low in the scale that the individuals throughout their whole existence are not sufficiently specialized to be distinctively plant or animal: yet these are definite life in simpler shape. Asa Gray Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off. Tommy Cooper Every little kid has always wanted to be a race car driver. This ge

achieved, shortness of days is nothing. That is perhaps why the young have usually so little fear of death; they live by intensities that the elderly have forgotten. Lewis Mumford Among the letters my readers write me, there is a certain category which is continuously growing, and which I see as a symptom of the increasing intellectualization of the relationship between readers and literature. Herman Hesse Although there is a very large literature, still growing almost daily, on the Chinese calendar, its interest is, we suggest, much more archaeological and historical than scientific. Joseph Needham I'd still like to see 'Survivor' minus the planned show-biz parts. That would be the purest form of show business - I want to see someone so hungry that they eat somebody else's foot. Albert Brooks Each sudden gust of light explains itself as flames, but neither they, nor even bombs redoubled on the hills tonight can quite include me in their fear. Andrew Motion

But it would be fair to say that the takings clause is the conservatives' recipe for judicial activism just as they say liberals have misused the equal protection clause. Michael Kinsley I was very outgoing, and a good-looking kid. I started doing all the catalogs. I made 60 commercials by the time I was 6. I must have been a natural, because I never took an acting lesson. Ricky Schroder People and places are the source of my work, both in prose and verse-and this remark is not the truism it seems, for I do not distinguish as sharply between a place and a person as most people seem to do. Leonard Alfred George Strong At first, I see pictures of a story in my mind. Then creating the story comes from asking questions of myself. I guess you might call it the 'what if - what then' approach to writing and illustration. Chris Van Allsburg Should l go on playing bridge and dining, going in the same old monotonous circle? It's easy that way, but it's a sort of s

and played, because there was a market for it - just as there is today. And there were more bad bands than there were good bands - I think that should always be remembered. Woody Herman Use those talents you have. You will make it. You will give joy to the world. Take this tip from nature: The woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang except those who sang best. Bernard Meltzer The first thing which I can record concerning myself is, that I was born. These are wonderful words. This life, to which neither time nor eternity can bring diminution - this everlasting living soul, began. My mind loses itself in these depths. Groucho Marx Status anxiety definitely exists at a political level. Many Iraqis were annoyed with the US essentially for reasons of status: for not showing them respect, for humiliating them. Alain de Botton Russia will not soon become, if it ever becomes, a second copy of the United States or England - where liberal value have deep historic roots.

America, Israel is a strong democracy, a symbol of freedom, and an oasis of liberty, a home to the oppressed and persecuted. William J. Clinton The time will come, without my seeking it, that my words will almost serve as law. If I ask a certain thing, it will be done. If I don't want something, it will not be done. Sun Myung Moon I don't think you can ever completely transform yourself on film, but if you do your job well, you can make people believe that you're the character you're trying to be. Frances McDormand It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal. Helen Keller I didn't want o do metal work and get my hands all nicked up and be around guys. So I took drama because there were a lot of girls. Michael J. Fox When people are very original, sometimes they are original as a way to resist t

world, we operate with friends and allies that's been true for decades and if we wind up going to war in Iraq it will be true in Iraq. Douglas Feith Every normal person, in fact, is only normal on the average. His ego approximates to that of the psychotic in some part or other and to a greater or lesser extent. Sigmund Freud Out of labor's struggle in Arizona came better conditions for the workers, who must everywhere, at all times, under advantage and disadvantage work out their own salvation. Mary Harris Jones It was a question of helping a man prepare in the way that suits him best. The theory is if you give a man responsibility for his own actions, then it is up to him to accept that responsibility. David Gower Look thy last on all things lovely, Every hour - let no night Seal thy sense in deathly slumber Till to delight Thou hast paid thy utmost blessing. Henry Austin Dobson There are a lot of movies made for nobody. Stan Brakhage I always wondered what h

I are so close, she really understands the fact that I am 18 and I am maturing. I guess I am not your average 18 year-old. Michelle Trachtenberg While Haiti has recently celebrated more than 200 years of independence from French colonial rule, the citizens of the island remain vulnerable to poverty, poor health, and political chaos. Eliot Engel What I argue is that if I'm going to be held accountable for my actions that I should be allowed to record... my actions. Especially if somebody else is keeping a record of my actions. Steve Mann An honorable Peace is and always was my first wish! I can take no delight in the effusion of human Blood; but, if this War should continue, I wish to have the most active part in it. John Paul Jones What breaks capitalism, all that will ever break capitalism, is capitalists. The faster they run the more strain on their heart. Raymond Williams The one happiness is to shut one's door upon a little room, with a table before one, and

together and have the sentimentalism of the one matched with the cynicism of the other. That ought to bring them pretty close to the truth. Reinhold Niebuhr To be taken into account were some years of schooling, where I studied with diligence Neptune's laws, and these laws I tried to obey when I sailed overseas; it was worth the while. Joshua Slocum We, the generation that faces the next century, can add the solemn injunction 'If we don't do the impossible, we shall be faced with the unthinkable.' Petra Kelly A lot of people are going to hate me for saying this, but one of my least favorite kinds of music, or the kind of music that I feel I've so got out of my system, is musicals music. Guy Pearce No longer is there a quest for the truth so much as there is this apparent need to present both sides of an issue even if one is nothing but lies and distortions. Joe Wilson You can't be a sexy person unless you have something sexy to offer. With me, it&

intentional taking of human life, except to save lives, should be a capital offense, as it is in most states in America today. Tom Coburn So it's mix and match. Hold your line when you really feel something you're saying is wonderful and you really want to get this point across and prove it to your partner by just throwing it into the tape and letting it speak for itself. Art Garfunkel The most money we have ever been able to get appropriated for the juvenile justice bills was $55 million a year, about one-tenth of what was necessary. Bobby Scott I have long felt that it is readers and viewers of conservative media who could benefit from a more balanced discussion of what is at stake in our policy and the actions of our government. Joe Wilson This freedom of political discussion on the highest level is something which Western civilization has in common with that of classical antiquity, but with no other. Christopher Dawson Women are a sisterhood. They make common

fabulous and I think it's a great brush to use for some stories. And there are other brushes that I think are exclusive to a different kind of story. Don Bluth The private citizen, beset by partisan appeals for the loan of his Public Opinion, will soon see, perhaps, that these appeals are not a compliment to his intelligence, but an imposition on his good nature and an insult to his sense of evidence. Walter Lippmann On the other hand when you are someone who records their own songs you are basically stuck writing for one voice and for one style that can stifle you a bit. It's a real trade off. Cynthia Weil That song is a story that shows how easily you could get slipped into being labeled as the bad guy, even though what you really trying to do is tell the bad guy to leave you alone. Slick Rick I read every script from beginning to end, and I read every draft that I can. I like the show, I like the character, and I want to protect both of those things. Victoria Pr

is. It's just a convenience thing living there. I carry Wales around inside me. I'd consider moving back there one day. I never really left. Tom Jones Keep on going and the chances are you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I have never heard of anyone stumbling on something sitting down. Charles Kettering I was darkly convinced that at age 52 I would kill myself because my mother committed suicide at that age. I was fantasizing that she was waiting for me on the other side of the grave. Spalding Gray Alan's publishing company was in the Brill Building, and of course, the Brill Building was where all the songwriters hung out because that's where all the publishers were. Johnny Rivers The lust of avarice as so totally seized upon mankind that their wealth seems rather to possess them than they possess their wealth. Pliny the Elder The political machine triumphs because it is a united minority acting against a divided majori

told me I needed to learn to read music first, so I took lessons for six years. I thank God that he made me take those lessons, because it taught me a tremendous amount. Brian Austin Green We measure very carefully what the positives are and I think it is less than one tenth of one percent, so we are very pleased with the accuracy of our biometric checks and we continue to monitor that. Asa Hutchinson Number one, I absolutely love making chocolate chip cookies. I mean, it's fun. It's exciting. Beyond the fact that I love making them, I love eating them. Debbi Fields People like me have to have the discipline only to work for clients, corporations, political people, products, services, networks that we believe in and we want to see succeed. Frank Luntz You don't know who you messing with man, I slap people for fun. That's what I do man! You wanna play rough, huh, I kill for fun! Chris Tucker Appearance is something you should definitely consider when you&#

is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one's brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon. Roger Bacon It's no secret that we were sticking just about every nickel we had on the chance that people would really be interested in something totally new and unique in the field of entertainment. Walt Disney My parents were worried about me, certainly when I became so deeply interested in music and people like the New York Dolls who, at the time, were very peculiar indeed. Morrissey Where there is a will there is a way. And this must be the way not of compulsion but of cooperation... No government and no plan can succeed without it. Lionel Murphy Over-reliance on strictly economic justifications has already begun to hurt the quality and range of education at every level of American life. Charles Vest I was a star in England, but I've never been a star in America. Now I am. Anna Lee We have

that you get really scared before you go on. You come out in a nervous rash, and it's not like you actually love getting up there and showing off. Jacqueline McKenzie A rose is the visible result of an infinitude of complicated goings on in the bosom of the earth and in the air above, and similarly a work of art is the product of strange activities in the human mind. Clive Bell We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elects a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. Michael Moore When I told the people of Northern Ireland that I was an atheist, a woman in the audience stood up and said, 'Yes, but is it the God of the Catholics or the God of the Protestants in whom you don't believe? Quentin Crisp If you do not feel equal to the headaches that psychiatry induces, you are in the wrong business. It is work - work the like of which I do not know. Harry Stack Sullivan I believe

as their models and have failed to discover that between them and churches in towns there ought to be a most distinct and marked difference. George Edmund Street I like jazz, but I could never play it. You just sit there with a guitar the size of a Chevy on your chest, wearing a stupid hat, playing the same solo for an hour. Dave Mustaine Any nation that thinks more of its ease and comfort than its freedom will soon lose its freedom; and the ironical thing about it is that it will lose its ease and comfort too. W. Somerset Maugham It is possible to resolve childhood repression safely and without confusion - something that has always been disputed by the most respected schools of thought. Alice Miller All us Youngs could throw. I used to kill squirrels with a stone when I was a kid, and my granddad once killed a turkey buzzard on the fly with a rock. Cy Young What Must I Do to Be Saved? It is impossible to ask a more weighty Question! It is deplorable that we hear it aske

- it's difficult. This administration has evolved new techniques to handle people like me. Their strategy, in a word, is simple: ignore them. Ron Suskind I admit I was somewhat concerned when we started to sign so many players - naturally you are going to worry about whether you can retain your place in the side. Frank Lampard I know that I've got big ears and a big forehead and that my hair sticks up. But I'm happy with myself. I'm not necessarily trying to win a beauty pageant here. Clay Aiken Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It's beyond me. Zora Neale Hurston The game has a cleanness. If you do a good job, the numbers say so. You don't have to ask anyone or play politics. You don't have to wait for the reviews. Sandy Koufax Money is the sovereign queen of all delights - for her, the lawyer pleads, the soldier fights. Rich

poetry for my friends. Writing a book is another thing. It is so much different from my traditional day of dirty fingernails and greasy hair and hot pans. Mario Batali It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship. Henry Ward Beecher My tears will keep no channel, know no laws to guide their streams, but like the waves, their cause, run with disturbance till they swallow me as a description of his misery. John Cleveland I remember how being young and black and gay and lonely felt. A lot of it was fine, feeling I had the truth and the light and the key, but a lot of it was purely hell. Audre Lorde I made education the highest priority of my campaign - actually education and jobs - and the reason is a simple one: I think the future of America depends on it. Chuck Schumer You need a vanguard organization in order

come about in the Russian military is that the deterioration goes beyond the point to which these old generals can stand up there and resist it. William Odom We are all one - or at least we should be - and it is our job, our duty, and our great challenge to fight the voices of division and seek the salve of reconciliation. Roy Barnes In the discharge of the duties of this office, there is one rule of action more important than all others. It consists in never doing anything that someone else can do for you. Calvin Coolidge If the flag of an armed enemy of the U.S. is allowed to fly over government buildings, then it implies that slavery, or at least the threat of slavery, is sanctioned by that government and can still legally exist. Amiri Baraka But the rule seems to be that the bigger and more life-changing the decision, the less it will seem like a decision at all. Hugh Mackay Boldness be my friend. William Shakespeare Once again, stock markets have been threatened

the weird images I could visualize all of that in my brain, and I knew that there was this mad little genius at work here and I really wanted to do the film. Jack Nance What makes people the world over stand in line for Van Gogh is not that they will see beautiful pictures but that in an indefinable way they will come away feeling better human beings. And that is exactly what Van Gogh hoped for. John Russell There is nothing is more musical than a sunset. He who feels what he sees will find no more beautiful example of development in all that book which, alas, musicians read but too little - the book of Nature. Claude Debussy I hope that my painting has the impact of giving someone, as it did me, the feeling of his own totality, of his own separateness, of his own individuality. Barnett Newman We do 32 episodes a season and will have shot 267 episodes by the end of the ninth season... It's impossible to sell that many episodes in the foreign market. Aaron Spelling If

Great Britain I will run wild and win victory upon victory. But then, if the war continues after that, I have no expectation of success. Isoroku Yamamoto Certainly, last year we did an episode about the census and sampling versus a direct statistic. You just said the word 'census,' and people fall asleep. Aaron Sorkin The greatest felony in the news business today is to be behind, or to miss a big story. So speed and quantity substitute for thoroughness and quality, for accuracy and context. Carl Bernstein Recruitment and retention are critical to sustain our Armed Forces with the best men and women willing to stand in the gap and make huge sacrifices to ensure our freedom. Zack Wamp Why should every single character be an honor student who goes around helping others and never doing anything wrong? Is that like the rule or something? Mike Judge That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history. Aldous

I'm really happy with them and if you just keep cranking and eventually, if you have a certain sensibility, some of your movies will hit and some just won't. Alex Winter A lot of my work has to do with not allowing my characters to have an ego in a way that the stomach doesn't have an ego when it's wanting to throw up. It just does it. Matthew Barney But I've been there and done that. I'm not trying to prove anything to anybody, and if somebody wants me to come, if they can afford what I ask, it's not as much as Madonna makes; not that I want what Madonna makes, but I was saying. Abbey Lincoln I got in trouble with the police, and that was a rude awakening. That was it. I'd seen the bottom of the pit, and it was time to scrape myself out of it. Bryan Adams We love in another's soul whatever of ourselves we can deposit in it; the greater the deposit, the greater the love. Irving Layton Am I sounding better or am I just getting used to m

however, I find that because of that quality they don't blend as nicely as the oils. The oils, for one thing, are softer and more flexible than the acrylics. Also, the colors are brighter with oils. Boris Vallejo I was also a big Woody Allen fan. When I got into college I listened to Lenny Bruce but it's taken me years to put him into context historically and really get what he did. Marc Maron You don't seem to realize that a poor person who is unhappy is in a better position than a rich person who is unhappy. Because the poor person has hope. He thinks money would help. Jean Kerr I do not believe there is a problem in this country or the world today which could not be settled if approached through the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount. Harry S Truman When people say, 'You're not being realistic,' they're just trying to tag some thoughts that they can't otherwise handle. David R. Brower We never do anything well till we cease to think ab

statements along with expensive hearings before the Alberta Human Rights Commission for expressing his biblical views on same sex marriage. Stockwell Day Pollock said several times that he couldn't separate himself from his art. Not knowing much about modern art when I began to read about him, I was much more his persona - his struggles as a human being - that was interesting to me. Ed Harris Schools that are to cater for the whole population must offer courses that are as rich and varied as are the needs and abilities of the children who enter them. Peter Fraser I do love DVD and I've always taken them seriously. You know, on the Austin things, we really put a ton of work into them because there's so much design involved. And in this one, we thought a lot about it and what could go in. Jay Roach When a man gets up to speak, people listen then look. When a woman gets up, people kook; then, if they like what they see, they listen. Pauline Frederick Life is not

up, so then I used to sing these songs, and that's what it's all about. Country music is all about your heart and your people and things like that. Dick Dale Color possesses me. I don't have to pursue it. It will possess me always, I know it. That is the meaning of this happy hour: Color and I are one. I am a painter. Paul Klee By analogy, if we were to develop a soccer team, then we would not invite basketball and volleyball players to the try outs. We would invite soccer players to apply. Jean-Marie Le Pen I would always fall down the big main staircase in our house. My favorite thing in the world was to pretend to be horribly killed at the top of it, and to fall dramatically down to the bottom of it. David Hyde Pierce Considering that the blessed life we so long for consists in an intimate and true love of God Our Creator and Lord, which binds and obliges us all to a sincere love. Saint Ignatius I'm a firm believer in putting your money where your mout

wine; which bread when it is broken, and the wine when it is drunken, put me in remembrance how that for my sins the body of Christ was broken, and his blood shed on the cross. Jane Grey The president's economic plan doesn't do enough to create new jobs and that has to be a national priority. While there are some signs the economy is improving, it is not translating into jobs. Jay Rockefeller I will go to my grave in a state of abject endless fascination that we all have the capacity to become emotionally involved with a personality that doesn't exist. Berkeley Breathed The journalism school helped me develop writing skills, and I had been enjoying cartooning from a very young age. My interest in puppetry, however, came much later. William Jackson Knowledge is two-fold, and consists not only in an affirmation of what is true, but in the negation of that which is false. Charles Caleb Colton The wind at Candlestick tonight is blowing with great propensity. Ron

Europeans to perceive because they are themselves so truly materialistic, so versed in the uses of power. Joan Didion The fact of the matter is, when I'm on tour, I'm juggling so hard to keep all the balls in the air that I don't often get to really enjoy what I'm out there doing. Amy Grant Your high points and your low points. High points don't last that long, it's a high and it happens. It's great at the moment but you really can't live on it. Ric Ocasek Every conquering temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before. William Butler Yeats Find something that you're really interested in doing in your life. Pursue it, set goals, and commit yourself to excellence. Do the best you can. Chris Evert I'm a little more comfortable in that role. I love being in the studio. Keith Urban There is nothing noble in being superior to

that follow them, the mother represents madness. Our mothers always remain the strangest, craziest people we've ever met. Marguerite Duras I type even faster than I talk. I'm very proud of that. I type so fast. And I have to because the characters are living in real time and I've got to keep up with them. It's a miracle they even give me a royalty. Rupert Holmes I grew up to have my father's looks, my father's speech patterns, my father's posture, my father's opinions, and my mother's contempt for my father. Jules Feiffer The DVD does make it a little easier for myself to trim things that are otherwise very difficult to let loose of - knowing that they'll make it on the DVD. Jay Roach If a fellow isn't thankful for what he's got, he isn't likely to be thankful for what he's going to get. Frank A. Clark A man is great by deeds, not by birth. Chanakya To jealousy, nothing is more frightful than laughter. Francoise

some of the other successful mixed signal companies, we have a wide range of products servicing a wide range of end applications. David Milne If our language, our programs, our creations are not strongly present in the new media, the young generation of our country will be economically and culturally marginalized. Jacques Chirac For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity. Joyce Cary We are talking about someone who has lived. It must be honored in every respect. The fictional can take any kind of channel - according to the actor's marriage to the character. Kate Mulgrew Bid, then, the tender light of faith to shine By which alone the mortal heart is led Unto the thinking of the thought divine. George Santayana The clash of ideas is the sound of freedom. Lady Bird Johnson Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything th

have class systems. It can be based on a different thing in a different country, but the thing about breeding is, you can't buy it. You can't buy class. Anne Perry We fully support the strikes against terrorist targets, not against the country, not against the culture, not against a religion, but against an enemy of them all. Ricardo Lagos It is good to know what a man is, and also what the world takes him for. But you do not understand him until you have learnt how he understands himself. F. H. Bradley When I jerked it out the head remained in my leg, where it remains still. There were a couple of inches of blood on the shaft of the arrow when I pulled it out. George Crook It frequently happens that two persons, reasoning right on a mechanical subject, think alike and invent the same thing without any communication with each other. Oliver Evans During a negotiation, it would be wise not to take anything personally. If you leave personalities out of it, you will

her life. And when she died, she made just one request: that a picture of me be put into her casket. So somewhere in England, I'm in a casket. Hank Snow A small house must depend on its grouping with other houses for its beauty, and for the preservation of light air and the maximum of surrounding open space. Clarence Stein If I thought that any of this was pre ordained, then it takes away any kind of incentive to struggle, or to put up with things, to reach for those impossible dreams, all those dramatic things. Gary Numan If we are to change our world view, images have to change. The artist now has a very important job to do. He's not a little peripheral figure entertaining rich people, he's really needed. Vaclav Havel The protean nature of the computer is such that it can act like a machine or like a language to be shaped and exploited. Alan Kay I am incapable of conceiving infinity, and yet I do not accept finity. Simone de Beauvoir It was a movement th

they peer beyond the seven seas, bury themselves waist deep in tidings, and by and large what they see and hear makes them unutterably sad. E. B. White I mean those people who are interested in good government will certainly contribute in order to make certain there's some counter-balance to those whose interests in good government is less. Stephen Breyer Most breast cancer-related deaths can be prevented through simple and painless preventive measures. A late diagnosis can result in more serious, long-term consequences. Olympia Snowe I found a religion that blended scientific reason with spiritual reality in a unifying faith far removed from the headlines of violence, destruction and terrorism. Cat Stevens If I'm in theatre, cinema doesn't even cross my mind. Similarly when I'm making a film, theatre doesn't cross my mind. John Hurt Since writing JAWS, I've been lucky enough to do close to forty television shows about wildlife in the oceans, and

interests, and never was entirely reconciled with the old ideas that land should be utilized in common for the good of all. Neil Abercrombie Once upon a perfect night, unclouded and still, there came the face of a pale and beautiful lady. The tresses of her hair reached out to make the constellations, and the dewy vapours of her gown fell soft upon the land. Kit Williams I understand why so many Americans were angry when I was first discovered in Afghanistan. I realize many still are, but I hope in time that feeling will change. John Walker Lindh Corruption is worse than prostitution. The latter might endanger the morals of an individual, the former invariably endangers the morals of the entire country. Karl Kraus We hope that, when the insects take over the world, they will remember with gratitude how we took them along on all our picnics. Bill Vaughan I have always considered that choosing a companion for life was a very important affair and that my happyness or misery

it well alone. If there was something that was incomplete, that might be interesting... because I do that on my website. Dave Davies An audience is going to be able to find a little bit of Dorothy in themselves and relate to this woman.: roles like Dorothy Day are so rare in Hollywood. Moira Kelly I don't set goals. Like, that's what I want to be doing however many years from now. I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance, that's what I'd do. Or design clothes. Ayumi Hamasaki To eat the boiled head of a pig sliced like salami is very strange. It may seem cutting edge, but it's actually a lot older than any of the other traditional salami. Mario Batali I think it's time for the people and the press, in particular, to be more vigilant about not giving equal weight to lies as they give the truth. Joe Wilson But when I don't smoke I scarcely feel as if I'm living. I don't feel as if I'm livi

strength for the weak, and a shield for the defenseless. He stands erect by bending above the fallen. He rises by lifting others. Robert Green Ingersoll Find a good teacher, as I found for my sons. I feel the worst thing you can do is to try and teach your own children yourself, because there is a natural rebellion that occurs. Keith Emerson And after I started working for the Bureau, most of my translation duties included translations of documents and investigations that actually started way before 9/11. Sibel Edmonds I am not one of the great composers. All the great have produced enormously. There is everything in their work - the best and the worst, but there is always quantity. But I have written relatively little. Maurice Ravel By furthering the use of ethanol, farmers are presented with the opportunity to produce a cash crop by collecting their agricultural wastes. Richard Lugar Actors say they do their own stunts for the integrity of the film but I did them becau
