Only two things change when you get older: the energy in your voice and the

time of night you feel it's appropriate to call someone. In your 20s, people call at 2 a.m. and yell, 'Are you up?' into the answering machine. Now, someone calls after 8 p.m., and my boyfriend is like, 'Who is that? Who could be calling at this hour?' Michael Patrick King Just to be working again as an actress and possibly doing TV would just be great. It's not about how big the role is. Aileen Quinn My own perception of cops was that they came into your neighborhood, they roughed up people that you loved for no reason and took them away. As a child you saw that. Sonja Sohn All I can do is today and tomorrow and have some idea of what we're doing next week. That's all I can worry about. Stephen Colbert Schools ought to teach students to challenge secular ideologies masquerading as science in the classroom. Nancy Pearcey The notion of getting under the hood and explaining how something works, that's fairly familiar territory to me. Sco

I used to skip out of high school and go flying. It was just one

of those things, I thought it was kind of a cool thing to do. I never thought about doing that as a profession, but I started checking things out and I found out there was a flight school down in Daytona Beach, called Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Jerry Doyle If I didn't have a scholarship to go to the University of Florida or any school, I probably would have considered the military because my family could not afford to send me to college. Emmitt Smith There is no bird flu in commercial stocks. Michael E. Mann No, what is important is neither linearity or non-linearity, but the change, the degree of change from something that doesn't move to other events with different tempos in particular. Karlheinz Stockhausen I the chief of sinners am, but Jesus died for me. John Wesley If they are willing to give women economic freedom in that home, if they are willing to live by the standard they wish women to live by, then homes will be preserves. Agnes Macphail

When checking in at an airport, no matter how rude the check-in person is to

you, always smile and be nice because you don't know what kind of day they've had. You are going on holiday and they're stuck wherever they are. Be nice to them because they can re-route your baggage to wherever they feel like. Ross Kemp I've photographed just about everyone in the world. But what I hope to do is photograph people of accomplishment, not celebrity, and help define the difference once again. Richard Avedon We should be inspired by people... who show that human beings can be kind, brave, generous, beautiful, strong-even in the most difficult circumstances. Rachel Corrie You don't know when you're being watched. That's one of the weird things about celebrity. It's my least favorite part of acting, celebrity. Denzel Washington I'm off to sit on a cliff. Nik Kershaw I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living. Grimes I wanna be a nice guy. David Guetta But you see, I have played more good

No one spoke in terms of children's literature, as opposed to adult literature, until around

the 1940s. It wasn't categorised much before then. Even Grimm's tales were written for adults. But it is true that ever since 'Harry Potter' there has been a renaissance in fantasy literature. J. K. Rowling opened the door again. Rick Riordan The attack of John Brown upon Harper's Ferry came upon Virginia like a clap of thunder out of a clear sky. John Sergeant Wise Every one, more or less, loves Power, yet those who most wish for it are seldom the fittest to be trusted with it. Samuel Richardson I have lost a little bit of flexibility, but the doctors say with any kind of torn ligament it is not uncommon for the injury to take 16 months to be 100 percent healed. Michael Chang I'd love to play more challenging roles, characters that would stretch my comfort zone and imagination. Isabelle Fuhrman The first-born in every family is always dreaming for an imaginary older brother or sister who will look out for them. Bill Cosby Anything is an art if

The last episode of Dallas was in '1991.' Unfortunately, it was a terrible episode to

end the show on: it was a sort of 'It's a Wonderful Life' with Larry as the Jimmy Stewart character. In that episode, I was an ineffectual-schlep kind of brother, who got divorced three or four times and was a Las Vegas reject. Patrick Duffy Adolescence is a new birth, for the higher and more completely human traits are now born. G. Stanley Hall I always had an interest in fashion because my mom is a celebrity fashion stylist. I grew up being on set or in showrooms. Jasmine Tookes The relentless pursuit of perfection has been my problem over the years. It's maybe held me back. Ronnie O'Sullivan Death is the welcome cessation of idiocy. Stephen Evans I'm a mild-mannered person. Daniel Silva On a personal level, I love the idea of hosting an awards show. I think that sounds like kind of a fun thing to do. Zachary Levi I won't be satisfied until I've put the entire security industry out of work. Daniel J. Bernstein Sometimes I get an

I do have a stunt double because there are certain things that they won't let

me do. Like they won't set fire to me. They won't like let me jump off a 20 story building. There are certain big stunts that it's just impossible to get insurance to let me do, but for the most part I'd say I do probably 75% of my stuff. Alex O'Loughlin I also said, men are like curling irons, they never get out of your hair. And they are like government bonds, they take so long to mature. Kabir Bedi A committee is a group of the unprepared, appointed by the unwilling to do the unnecessary. Fred Allen When and under what conditions is the black man to have a free ballot? When is he in fact to have those full civil rights which have so long been his in law? Benjamin Harrison I love carbs, but denial is good training for the mind. Jason Momoa I can do a gig without an instrument. Gavin DeGraw The problems of all of humanity can only be solved by all of humanity. Friedrich Durrenmatt Graffiti's always been a temporary art form. You make your ma

And the biggest improvement I see between 'Up in the Air' and 'Juno' and 'Thank

You for Smoking' is that 'Up in the Air' deals with the complicated human stuff in a way that my other films have not. It's a more articulated film, and because of that, I'm most proud of it. Jason Reitman In my own mind, I am still a fat brunette from Toledo, and I always will be. Gloria Steinem I like for people to have fun and that comes out in the music. Two Chainz Every person has a signature. Just some people don't know it yet. Rita Ora The ant world is a tumult, a noisy world of pheromones being passed back and forth. E. O. Wilson In the western part of England lived a gentleman of large fortune, whose name was Merton. Thomas Day Freedom in a commons brings ruin to all. Garrett Hardin The first nine albums there was never a Synthesiser, never any Orchestra. There was never any other player except us on the albums. Brian May The basis of our partnership strategy and our partnership approach: We build the social technology. They prov

Yes, I don't believe that the inter-Korean relationship has, quote, 'deteriorated' since I assumed office.

Rather I believe that the relationship between the two Koreas is entering into a new phase - a time of transition. And so I think that the North Koreans are trying to see what they can build with this, with my new administration. Lee Myung-bak I think that it's more likely that in my 60s and 70s I will be writing poetry rather than fiction. Robert Morgan They put all this money into these huge films and then no one goes to see them. That sort of shows they're out of touch. Then everyone in town passes on my little movie and it does really well. Zach Braff It's time to stop obsessing about overhead and start focusing on progress. Change charity, and charity can change the world. Dan Pallotta I forget to take care of Angie being so busy taking care of everyone else. Angie Stone Dreams have as much influence as actions. Stephane Mallarme With photography, you zero in; you put a lot of energy into short moments, and then you go on to the next thing. Robert Map

I keep getting amazing things to bring to life. There's always something to discover with

'Dr. Bailey,' something that brings her home to the audience, something that makes people say, 'I know that woman. I work with that woman.' It's incredibly flattering and I'm still finding new things with her all the time. Chandra Wilson Writing a song is actually quite easy. Writing a good one is very, very difficult. Joe Elliott It is one of the most effective attitudes of the neurotic to measure thumbs down, so to speak, a real person by an ideal, since in doing so he can depreciate him as much as he wishes. Alfred Adler One travels so as to learn once more how to marvel at life in the way a child does. And blessed be the poet, the artist who knows how to keep alive his sense of wonder. Ella Maillart The power of imagination makes us infinite. John Muir Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' is my go-to song to pump myself up if I'm having a tough time or if I get really nervous right before a speech. Sara Blakely I get and read an enormous

Having played many roles of scientific intellect I do have an empathy for that world.

It's been hard on me because flying the Enterprise for seven years in Star Trek and sitting in Cerebro in X-men has led people to believe that I know what I'm talking about. But I'm still trying to work out how to operate the air conditioning unit on my car. Patrick Stewart No, no, the songs write themselves, almost. Mel Brooks I stand for simple justice, equal opportunity and human rights. The indispensable elements in a democratic society - and well worth fighting for. Helen Suzman I think anybody who has been abused as a kid - and I was abused as a kid, by various people - will say it's irrational because violence is irrational. Samantha Morton I have loved 'Les Miz' for so long. It was the first Broadway show I'd ever done. Lea Michele Your mid-thirties is a good time because you know a fair amount, you have some self-control. Zadie Smith Shooting stuff on horseback is more complicated and time consuming than anything else. Mark Addy

The great thing with film is that it doesn't have an ego. It's just a

film. Everybody that makes them has an ego, and the problem with awards and stuff like that is that it always affects the egos, and everyone gets stained by it in some way. And that can be fine and very innocent, but it can be horrible as well. Danny Boyle I have a taste for a kind of melancholy and for being an absolute victim of love. Arielle Dombasle I've never tried to do couture, because it's a whole different beast. Tommy Hilfiger As an actress, I was trained to show emotion I did not feel, or no emotion at all. Gene Tierney I come from a long line of people that write. My folks ran a weekly newspaper. Sam Wyly You know, one of my fears about living alone so long is that you get used to doing everything your own way. Terry McMillan No limits whatever are placed to the productions of the earth; they may increase forever. Thomas Malthus Theater is there to search for questions. It doesn't give you instructions. Vaclav Havel The best thing about be

America pays its bills. It always has. It always will. The fact that Washington is

now debating whether to honor its debts and obligations, then, should come as a surprise. But playing political football with a necessary vote to raise the nation's debt ceiling has become as predictable as a Twitter rant from Charlie Sheen. Peter Welch When you write for a show that's not yours, your job is to hear the voices of the characters and write as best you can for those voices. Amy Sherman-Palladino I believe that any candidate who supports the war should not receive our support. It doesn't matter if they're Senator Clinton or whoever. Cindy Sheehan Without truth I feel ashamed to be alive. Andrei Platonov It's hard to write a good plot, it's very hard. David Mamet People of art should never get married and have children, because it's a selfish experience. Mikhail Baryshnikov I grew up in Houston, in a pretty urbane setting. Mireille Enos Every song asks to be sung in a different way. Ray LaMontagne Social media is its own s

The rise of a ubiquitous Internet, along with 24-hour news channels has, in some sense,

had the opposite effect from what many might have hoped such free and open access to information would have had. It has instead provided free and open access, without the traditional media filters, to a barrage of disinformation. Lawrence M. Krauss Not only am I a spender, I have had a couple of business people in the past who have been spending my money quite happily. Roger Moore One good reason for writing novels based on your life is that you have something to read in old age when you've forgotten what happened. Nina Bawden Do we root for Michael Corleone in the 'Godfather' films? I think so, even if he is a monster. Jacques Audiard I don't have time to worry about looking cool. Jane Leeves The closer you are to people, the more you realise what has happened to them. Jennifer Lynch I wanted to make youthful, irreverent anthems. Parents might not get it, but kids would. Kesha My dear friend, clear your mind of cant. Samuel Johnson I always prefer

You will most appreciate 'Freddy and Fredericka' if you are familiar with the story of

the Fall, the Good Hermit, 'Tom Jones,' 'Huckleberry Finn,' 'Paradise Lost,' 'Henry V,' and 'My Cousin Vinny.' That doesn't mean that you can't enjoy or understand it on an emotional level, free of all allusion, which is the test of any book of fiction. Mark Helprin You talked about national identity cards and the terrorism bill. We have made a government that has grown used to viewing us as subjects, has grown used to seeing its role as commanding us. Malcolm Wallop Theater really gets damaged when there is a paucity of good criticism around. Tony Kushner Ronald Reagan, whatever his pros and cons were, was a public servant in the end. Eugene Jarecki I wasn't really naked. I simply didn't have any clothes on. Josephine Baker 'Danity Kane' was a wonderful group, and like all things, nothing is forever. We had a great run and we were very successful. Aubrey O'Day In 1941 Richard Owen said that the dinos

The people that live in these districts, they don't want to watch it. They don't

want to see their children die or killing other people. The only people that it is entertainment to are the people in the capital that have been brainwashed and are misguided and living in a completely unrealistic kind of world. Liam Hemsworth Government has really been growing, a lot of largesse, but the people in the real world aren't. And that's what has to change. Government has no conformity at all with the real world. Michele Bachmann If you look at the movies that come out, most of them are bad, so it's not as if achieving some level of success means you get offered better roles, because frankly they don't seem to exist. Jesse Eisenberg With my writing, because I live it, I have to be consumed by it, and that means you have to forget your other life, which is constantly pulling you from your work. Paullina Simons Sometimes you work with somebody you've never heard of because you just feel like working. Benmont Tench Nothing beats the original Kri

The key thing is, even if you only have a couple of hours a month,

those two hours shoulder-to-shoulder, next to one student, concentrated attention, shining this beam of light on their work, on their thoughts and their self-expression, is going to be absolutely transformative, because so many of the students have not had that ever before. Dave Eggers I'm considered homophobic and crazy about these things and old fashioned. But I think that the family - father, mother, children - is fundamental to our civilisation. Rupert Murdoch Everybody's seen a stream or a wood they knew replaced by a strip mall. Tom Scholz We have so many people retiring that we do not have enough people paying into the system to be able to provide the benefits for those collecting those benefits. Chris Chocola Up until the end of the Bush Administration, there was indifference to the North Korean suffering under Kim Jong-Il. Ed Royce I love men's wear. Lara Stone I love Australia. My dream would be to have a place to live there and be able to commute

The No. 1 quote critics give me is, 'Thom, your work is irrelevant.' Now, that's

a fascinating, fascinating comment. Yes, irrelevant to the little subculture, this microculture, of modern art. But here's the point: My art is relevant because it's relevant to 10 million people. That makes me the most relevant artist in this culture. Thomas Kinkade The key is for the audience never to know, so I have a plan B for every illusion. David Copperfield At the end of the day, you have to find the humanity in you in each character. Russell Hornsby You know, one of the biggest thrills I have is when famous people recognize me from Taxi. Marilu Henner I never write with an actor in mind - never. Andrea Arnold Similarly you can make a transition from one set of instruments to another imperceptibly. Gavin Bryars That's the thing about interviews, at some point you're going to change your mind. But it's there forever and you can't escape it. Martha Plimpton Prices are always lower when the troops are in the street. David Bonderman T

I've always liked adventure television. Pre-'Survivor,' I did a series on cable called 'Eco-Challenge,' an

adventure race with experts mainly, and here we have 'Expedition Impossible.' I like the outdoors and I like doing something fresh for television you haven't seen before. Mark Burnett I really believe in science. It is a faith. It is a reverence akin to religion. But as we always say, it's different from religion in that, as near as we can tell, it exists outside of us. It has an objective quality, the process of science. Bill Nye When someone you have a lot of respect for believes in you, it helps you believe in yourself. Cat Osterman Sadly, I have found that even evolution's most staunch believers are afraid to debate, because they know that their case for atheism and evolution is less than extremely weak. Ray Comfort The thing about many celebrities - not all - is that they're fantastic actors. Paul Lieberstein Border security is a safety issue. Heather Wilson When I was skating I felt I represented not just my family and the people who help

Yes, it's a very difficult thing to do, to promote a record, do television shows,

and to still want to remain private, it's really quite difficult to explain to people what you're trying to do. I mean I'd actually quite like to be a recluse, but you know, you've got to promote the record as well. Chris Lowe I do love to perform. And I'm ever so grateful that this has turned into a job with a future. Melissa Manchester I don't think I ever wanted fame. Susan Sullivan Every couple goes through things. Heidi Klum You cannot spend your way out of recession or borrow your way out of debt. Daniel Hannan When I was really young, I shot a lot with my Super 8. Danny Huston I've learned to surround myself with women who lift me up and leave me feeling nurtured rather than drained. Carre Otis No Georgian has the right to evade or neglect his duties and responsibilities. Eduard Shevardnadze I love fashion. I think it's so important, because it's how you show yourself to the world. Emma Watson

That distinctive presidential conduct is now gone forever, banished to the snows of yesteryear by

Barack Obama. From the beginning of his presidency to the present, he has spoken specifically and in unprecedented fashion of Republicans as his rivals, his stumbling blocks, the primary cause of his troubles. John Podhoretz I've always had an affinity and a passion for cars and that whole car culture. Ludacris You must write to the people's expertise. Theodore Sturgeon The toddler craves independence, but he fears desertion. Dorothy Corkille Briggs I put myself and all the members of Congress in the same boat of things that could have been done better. John Breaux I mean, there'll always be room for big productions and everything but it's good to see the other side. Emeli Sande Paris and Nicky Hilton? Those girls will show up to the opening of a phone book. It's like a big joke. Rachel Perry Much of the success of life depends upon keeping one's mind open to opportunity and seizing it when it comes. Alice Foote MacDougall The thing about

I've danced my whole life. Martial arts is just fun for me, it's all choreographed

a bit like dance. I have done Muay Thai and Wushu, which is cool because it's very fluid dance. I also do Tricking. It's kind of like Taekwondo with the big kicks and flips and showier aspects of martial arts. Caity Lotz I think if you're half-hearted you shouldn't go into acting. Jane Badler I'm not here to judge, I'm here to empower women to figure out what's best for them. Heidi Murkoff I'm not big into images. I'm into reality. Paul Tagliabue A good opening and a good ending make for a good film provide they come close together. Federico Fellini We see violence to forcibly seize land, at any price, murders and corruption. Claudio Hummes I've always believed in survival. Hugh Leonard To be honest, I enjoy all different types of films and experiences. Abbie Cornish The American public does not know poets exist. James Broughton

I'm open to starting restaurants anywhere as long as the produce that's readily available is

high quality. For example, I'm never doing a restaurant in Shanghai because I saw the produce available there, and it's just not good. I won't do a restaurant in Moscow for the same reason. Joel Robuchon I don't remember ever having writer's block. If I sit in there for four hours, I'll usually have something. Randy Newman I think we were raised in a nice Texas Jewish family where education was the most important thing, and close behind that was the arts. It was emphasized and expected that we'd play piano. Lisa Loeb A lot of the things that until now seemed unthinkable are starting to be thinkable. Nick Johnson I will tell you, I'm a lousy cook, but I think I'm a pretty good judge of a good meal. Barney Frank The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow. Marcus Tullius Cicero I'm not a great writer. E. L. James The environment is better and better for Democrats

We're here so that Afghanistan does not once again become a sanctuary for transnational extremists

the way it was when al-Qaeda planned the 9/11 attacks in the Kandahar area, conducted the initial training for the attackers in training camps in Afghanistan before they moved on to Germany and then to U.S. flight schools. David Petraeus And it is essential that in fighting terrorism, sacrifices should not be made on democracy. Bulent Ecevit I have never wanted to give up performing on stage, but one day the tours will be over. Mick Jagger I love being able to go to a store, let's say... a store like Topshop or Zara or maybe even Macy's, depends on what department, and not have to look at the price tag. Tyra Banks Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Randall Terry All human beings are also dream beings. Dreaming ties all mankind together. Jack Kerouac This morning someone sent me a very funny photo of me holding their puppy. We have matching colour jackets. Luke Treadaway I am not a jazz singer. I wouldn't place myself on that footing

If I play a video game, I have to get through the whole thing. Like,

when the new 'Resident Evil' comes out, I have to sit and do the whole thing. It will consume my life. I'm at a point where I don't have much time to play around anymore, so I don't really get started on the games if I won't be able to finish them. Ben Schwartz Well, I think probably the main reason people overeat is stress. Jenny Craig I was trying to be this person who is cool, eternally rocking. Billy Corgan I would show up at a party for Al Qaeda if you said there's going to be a dinner. Gilbert Gottfried It is time for the general fund to pay the Social Security fund back. Jacob Lew My marriage to my husband, Bart Conner in 1996 is my proudest personal moment. Nadia Comaneci I always look at people and think how I would cast them. David Bailey I have no sense of nostalgia. Tomorrow is what interests me. Francois Pinault Because I was in Atlanta, people didn't realize I'm one of the real forefathers in the game. Jermaine D

The Go Red for Women campaign raises awareness of the risk of heart disease. I

think a lot of people don't realize that heart disease is the number one killer of women. So what we're doing is encouraging women to tell five other women to learn more about heart disease and how they can prevent it. Cheryl Hines As a kid, my idols were Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson, and I get into crazy races with myself. Raimi was 21 when he made movies, and when I didn't get 'Cabin Fever' made that fast I thought I'd failed. Eli Roth Peter Beard is one of those people I've known a long time. We have an affinity. We share certain values. Terry Southern I've always chosen my band members based on their sense of humor. It might sound stupid, but it means not only are they fun to live with on a tour bus for years, but humor implies intelligence. Kristin Hersh I'm fascinated with the electronic devices that we can mess around with. Gerry Mulligan Yoga is a great thing and meditation is also great to get connected to yourself more. Ziggy

I was a big fan of 'Six Feet Under.' So, I got a bootleg copy

of the first four episodes on videotape, watched them and was instantly into it. During the first episode, I was like, 'Eh.' By the time I got to the second one, I couldn't watch them fast enough. I got on the phone that night, called Time Warner cable and ordered HBO right then. Denis O'Hare I don't know nothing about no jungle and bass. Timbaland Born on a mountain, raised in a cave. Arresting fugitives is all I crave. Duane Chapman But while they prate of economic laws, men and women are starving. We must lay hold of the fact that economic laws are not made by nature. They are made by human beings. Franklin D. Roosevelt I can't analyse my appeal. If I did, I'd be in a straitjacket. Daria Werbowy Movies' mistrust of capitalism is almost as old as the medium itself. James Surowiecki That we must all die, we always knew; I wish I had remembered it sooner. Samuel Johnson I don't do e-mails. Pat Bowlen Any person who says their fa

Since scarcity is the basic economic problem, if it does not exist then there is

no reason for my economics course. Devoting time to the study of how people use limited resources to fulfill unlimited wants and needs should help us to discover how to best utilize the resources we have at our disposal. Kurt Bills I'm really looking forward to it, if you can imagine floating weightless, watching the world pour by through the big bay window of the space station playing a guitar; just a tremendous place to think about where we are in history. Chris Hadfield Even in my first analysis of a depressive psychosis, I was immediately struck by its structural similarity with obsessional neurosis. Karl Abraham Honestly, all I ever do is work. Leighton Meester If you want a watch with diamonds on the bezel, you don't need me. Richard Mille If something comes up I might write about it, but without an outlet the whole thing winds down. Don McLean I'm not afraid of turning 80 and I have lots of things to do. I don't have time for dying. Ingvar Kampr

I remember telling my second-graders the basic 'Metamorphosis' story, saying, like, 'What about - what

if a guy woke up one morning and he was a bug? Wouldn't that be weird?' And they loved that. And I think that was the trigger that made me think, like, 'Oh man, here's my audience. They're just a lot shorter than I ever thought they might be.' Jon Scieszka But the drawings are not created only to be sold. Christo Where I'm from, they'll beat your head until it gets back down to normal size. Kel Mitchell You go through publicists because it's easy for a publicist to say to another publicist, 'No'. Martin Short I was a TV junkie as a kid. I am the Sesame Street generation. Darren Aronofsky I wanted to play music. I didn't think about where it would go or what it would do. Charlie Simpson Literature is about as unnecessarily necessarily as tableware or ironed shirts. Peter Bichsel You can't separate the two, being a parent, being a cop. Raymond Kelly I like the idea of Wild Infancy, of people who have a deprived b

Ben & Jerry's evolved into what it is doing and is trying to transition its

supply chain, but this is essentially retrofitting. In the social enterprise movement, we see companies whose essence, the products they make, the reason they exist from day one, is because these people see something out in the world that they cannot accept. Jerry Greenfield My parents have always been there to really support anything I wanted to do or learn - they provided the opportunity for me. I was very blessed in that sense. Paula Creamer And I never ask what I'm doing the next day. I don't want to know what I'm doing tomorrow. It's much too overwhelming. So I just go day by day, without knowing. Jennifer Lopez One of the things my service in Iraq did give me was this freedom from fear of failure or any kind of expectations that I had to take a standard path. Kevin Powers The acting was first. As a teenager I was an actress; and then I came back as a singer. Julie London When I finished high school, I was 16, and in Argentina you have to choose a ca

This is the story, this is your character, I have the sense of the landscape,

I have the sense of the scene, I have all that stuff. But I'm also looking for something else to happen, an accident or something. You're focused on the story you intend to tell and then you have to have a peripheral net out to catch these accidents. Gore Verbinski My mother is a beauty. Mary-Louise Parker We are facing extreme volatility. Carlos Ghosn I like being able to provide consistent and frequent literary choices for my fans. Janet Evanovich A worker's paradise is a consumer's hell. Esther Dyson Senator Kerry voted to undermine the troops in the field, and that is not only inexcusable, it is reprehensible. John Ensign I'm very inspired by other cultures and very often use what I perceive to be exotic ingredients. Eric Ripert But transitions from the politics of violence to democratic compromise are always messy. Timothy Garton Ash I hope all you young girls see yourself up there... we were just like you. Mia Hamm

I mean in the community that I grew up in, you know, a very, you

know, mixed, almost entirely African Diaspora community, one of the things that we were not ever supposed to say was how much self-hatred and colorism determined and guided what we would call our desire. In other words, what we would consider beautiful. Junot Diaz I don't want to be known as somebody that everybody knows about. Mark-Paul Gosselaar As the daughter of a schoolteacher, I feel very strongly that the most important thing in school takes place right there in that classroom, and the interaction between the teacher and the child. Kerry Healey I run; I am a coward at heart. I swear, when I smell violence or aggression the coward comes out in me. I have no desire to fight anybody except myself. Rutger Hauer People don't get it; they think I'm rich. I'm not! I have no money. Jamie Campbell Bower I love sitting down and talking to people. CNBC gave me a chance to do it in a way that I liked. They gave me a chance to also develop the skills to learn f

I've made a number of independent films that didn't receive theatrical distribution, that a lot

of people haven't heard of, and as a result, I've conditioned myself to go into small independent films with the expectation that they will not, and therefore, I have to find my reward elsewhere. William Mapother There was some indecision as to when I was born. My sister said it was 1916. I'd lost my birth certificate. Michael Gough Every morning I wake up in a home where Mike Tyson previously laid in the bed and he earned over $500 million his career. It makes me conscious. Curtis Jackson My studies are important to me. I made the honor role just recently, with 2 A's and 2 B's. Ryan White Would you believe in what you believe in if you were the only one who believed it? Kanye West I had to learn everything about manufacturing, patents and how to run a business, and eventually I came up with an prototype that worked. Melissa George As I've gotten older, I've become attracted to things that have substance. Seann William Scott Everything m

I wasn't eating the right kinds of calories. I didn't know about healthy carbs such

as brown rice and lentils. Now I eat small meals throughout the day: oatmeal with cinnamon to start, fruit and yogurt as a snack, and vegetables or with chicken or tuna, and a healthy carb, like a yam, for lunch. Alison Sweeney The elusive nature of love... it can be such a fleeting thing. You see it there and it's just fluttering and it's gone. Mick Jagger As society changes, laws have to change to protect citizens along the way. Sometimes you have to try new and different and creative ways to solve problems. You have to take some risks. John Rowland Churches, depending on their policy, can do fantastic work with people in the community. Annie Lennox By the time I'm 40, interplanetary travel will be common. Nobody will want to talk to me at that age, anyway. Ace Frehley As premiums continue to skyrocket, we must ensure that health insurers are not engaging in anticompetitive behavior and unfairly driving up health care costs. Diana DeGette Jews are the in

Right before I got 'Sons of Anarchy,' I actually quit acting for 18 months and

didn't read a single script, and I wrote a film. I felt like I needed to do something that I had control over, as an artist, and also just do something where I felt like I had some control over my life, as just a human, out in the world. Charlie Hunnam The burden of poverty isn't just that you don't always have the things you need, it's the feeling of being embarrassed every day of your life, and you'd do anything to lift that burden. Jay-Z Freud was one of the greatest influences on me. He made myth into psychiatry, and I've been trying to turn it back into myth again. Ross MacDonald Perceive that which cannot be seen with the eye. Miyamoto Musashi What else does anxiety about the future bring you but sorrow upon sorrow? Thomas a Kempis I think there is a niche for every market. Lauren Conrad We cannot turn our back and say that violence in films or anything that we do doesn't have a sort of influence. It does. Jamie Foxx The exercise o

It's hard to be surprised by a film. It's hard to be surprised by another

actor or by a director when you've seen enough and been around. So when I am, or when I forget that I'm watching someone's movie, or when I don't know how someone made a certain turn that I didn't expect . . . You know, I'm in. Brad Pitt People respond faster to you on a text than an e-mail. Why is that? Why will they ignore an e-mail, but get back to a text? Gayle King Philanthropy is my job. will.i.am Put your blog out into the world and hope that your talent will speak for itself. Diablo Cody The hardest thing in acting is going from child actor to adult actor. It's taken me a long time. Shia LaBeouf Obviously, I come from one background, and the people that design fitness equipment have been doing it for years and years, and they know what works and doesn't work. Lance Armstrong In some areas I am more noted for reading then I am for cookies! Wally Amos The music technology scene is changing so fast it's hard to keep up. Natasha

We live in a dancing matrix of viruses; they dart, rather like bees, from organism

to organism, from plant to insect to mammal to me and back again, and into the sea, tugging along pieces of this genome, strings of genes from that, transplanting grafts of DNA, passing around heredity as though at a great party. Lewis Thomas Love isn't intellectual - it's visceral. Kelly McGillis The boarding I do is pretty strenuous and because I'm so active I really don't have to work out too often. Shaun White I never plot out my novels in terms of the tone of the book. Hopefully, once a story is begun it reveals itself. Alice Hoffman It's not as if our party has a leadership campaign underway. Peter MacKay No one was more important than my mom and dad. I know they are watching from a place up in heaven here today to make sure all their kids are doing good. Eddie Murray Cricket is not a rational sport in India, and we go overboard. Harsha Bhogle Companies that get confused, that think their goal is revenue or stock price or something. You ha

I think it's harder to forgive ourselves for mistakes that we made because we keep

dwelling on it. We want to know how it affects other people, if they liked us for it, if they didn't like us. I think we stress over it, we replay it in our mind. It becomes an old tape that years later we continue to play it in our mind. Sherri Shepherd Americans believe in the value of immigration. We are the most generous nation on earth to immigrants, allowing over one million people a year to come here legally. Marco Rubio States can be deterred by the fear of retaliation; non-state organisations cannot by deterred at all. John Bruton The same liberty that protects me also protects members of the Mafia. Barbara Amiel If the audience walks out of a concert thinking, What a wonderful experience, then we have done our job. Emanuel Ax It's really good to be able to think about past loves without having a pit in my stomach, or cringing or feeling heart-broken, or like they hate you. Don't you think? Winona Ryder Now that I've got some films under my be

It's very easy to fool yourself that you're working, you know, when you're really not

working very hard. I mean, I'm very lazy. So for me, I would always have an excuse, you know, to go - quit early, go to a museum, you know. So I do everything I can to make myself remember this is a job. I keep a schedule. Robert Caro It's all false pressure; you put the heat on yourself, you get it from the networks and record companies and movie studios. You put more pressure on yourself to make everything that much harder. John Belushi Now, everybody knows my music. So that's really cool. A lot of kids know it. Now, when I go to a sports game, everybody knows my name. Nat Wolff So I think, if September 11 taught us anything, it taught us that we're vulnerable, and vulnerable in ways that we didn't fully understand. Condoleezza Rice This dark brightness that falls from the stars. Pierre Corneille It is perhaps both a blessing and a curse that fictional worlds spring into my mind nearly fully formed and it takes quite a while to sift through everything

One of the things I was hoping to do in the Secretary of the State's

Office when I came was to provide businesses with more information about business opportunities in Connecticut. That's both to businesses that are here already and also to businesses that are not located here, but might be interested in coming. Susan Bysiewicz A mere ape in our world may be a scholar in its own, and the low life of any beast may be a source of deep satisfaction for the beast itself. Jeffrey Kluger My whole life was service to people and the Fatherland. Wilhelm Frick Over the past few years special interests have had a larger and larger say over who gets what in America, and the voices of average citizens are being shut out. Marty Meehan We came in today with a chip on our shoulder to prove who we are. Bill Laimbeer I think I am a child. Everything blows my mind. Marc Bolan The Republic is open and tolerant but also knows how and when to be firm and make its values respected. Jean-Pierre Raffarin I think that songwriting changed when groups star

I do have a fundamental concern about us losing control of our own destiny, and

this is not just about the euro. You can expand and extend it into the whole constitutional issue. The British people have been suckered with regard to how the whole currency and constitutional issues have been sold to them. Lloyd Dorfman I could go insane if I obsessed over every little detail of all of my companies. My management philosophy is to pay attention to the vital few and ignore the trivial many. John Paul DeJoria The Hercules' was a monumental undertaking. It is the largest aircraft ever built... I put the sweat of my life into this thing. Howard Hughes I was brought up by an Episcopalian father and Presbyterian mother in nondenominational Army chapels all over the world and never really had much religious experience. Sally Quinn It kills me when I see some metal band trying to pass themselves off as an 'alternative band.' Dimebag Darrell I have osteoarthritis, which especially affects my knees. Malcolm Boyd I love wearing a lot of color, and I

I live in Nashville, and I don't know how many people there would call me

country. I really started in punk and anti-folk, but one of the reasons I originally gravitated towards country music is because most of those songs only use three chords. That was the easiest place for me to start, but I'm always trying to expand what I do. Caitlin Rose It's almost not safe to be an artist, the way everybody is randomly picking people to feud with. Busta Rhymes I hope to stay on 'Glee,' I hope to still be a 'Housewife' and I hope to do 'The New Normal.' I just want to do it all! Why not? I'm only going to be young for a little while longer. NeNe Leakes Anybody who writes a diary insists it must be read by someone else. Peter Greenaway I grew up in Minnesota. Seann William Scott I won't say, 'I have two degrees; I shouldn't be getting your latte.' Because I paid my dues when I got to the table, I actually had something to say. Dana Fox Every baseball crowd, like every theatre audience, has its own di

On Sept. 11, 2001, thousands of first responders heroically rushed to the scene and saved

tens of thousands of lives. More than 400 of those first responders did not make it out alive. In rushing into those burning buildings, not one of them asked, 'What God do you pray to?' What beliefs do you hold?' Michael Bloomberg When I got older, I chose to look at Christianity as another myth. Tori Amos We were concerned with having good songs, not just songs that go two hundred miles per hour. Travis Barker The reason the contracts are so long is because actors are very spontaneous; we may want to do Shakespeare one day and be Porky Pig the next! Jorja Fox I remember listening to Cube's music when I was like 14 years old, my friends listening to it up in Toronto. Scott Speedman I have never made a decision based on race and never will. Cuba Gooding, Jr. I have to stay alone in order to fully contemplate and feel nature. Caspar David Friedrich In virtually every Western society in the 1960s there was a moral revolution, an abandonment of its entire

I often compare myself as a kid to my own grandchildren, who are around 11

and 14 now. That's the age kids usually read my book. And I remember myself; we'd gone through a world war. My father was an army officer so I was aware of what was going on. But I wasn't bombarded with images of catastrophe like many kids are today. Lois Lowry Some of the free lunch programs were still goin' on - based on the last leg of the Black Panther Party. Kool Moe Dee Nobody likes it when someone calls in sick. Homaro Cantu John Lennon was very irreverent and very intelligent. Brenda Lee Knowledge shrinks as wisdom grows. Alfred North Whitehead As a kid I was always a bit of a clown, a performer. Simon Baker Government shouldn't tell you whom to marry. Michael Bloomberg You can't live someone else's expectations in life. It's a recipe for disaster. Bear Grylls Science fiction writers put characters into a world with arbitrary rules and work out what happens. Rudy Rucker

The problem that faces our country today, the last 30 years we have lived off

the future, and the bill is coming due. So there cannot be anything that is not put on the table. There will not be one American that will not be called to sacrifice. Those that are more well-to-do will be called to sacrifice to a greater extent. Tom Coburn Part of my work is dedicated to artisanship and can only be done by very few people because it requires a specific technique. Being an artist is being at the service of yourself; I am at the service of other people. Christian Louboutin I think in order to move forward into the future, you need to know where you've been. Charles Williams Relatively few people should start companies. Reid Hoffman I eat, sleep, and drink my character. It is my fantasy to go to another planet. Ace Frehley I think audiences, producers and directors included, develop crushes on actors (actresses in particular) and then lose interest and move on to the next one. Julia Stiles I feed on art more than I ever do on photographs. I can admi

Flying into a storm, even its outer edges, did not seem like a good idea

to me. And this was no ordinary tempest. Everyone on the bridge knew what it was: the Devil's Fist, a near-eternal typhoon that migrated about the North Indian basin year-round. She was infamous, and earned her name by striking airships out of the sky. Kenneth Oppel Many people leave government disillusioned about its ability to achieve change and cynical about politicians. I left with rather opposite lessons. Geoff Mulgan The difference between me and them is that I'll look at Jesse Jackson and I'll see four Jesse Jacksons, and they'll just see one, the clown ambulance chaser. Chris Matthews Well the truth is, Republicans didn't just lose a few elections, we lost our way. Mike Pence There's no reason you should write any novel quickly. John Irving My father was in the ad business, and he wanted to be a painter. Bruce Campbell I was young. I was newly married. And I had worked like a dog. I just wanted to live and travel. Sarah Michelle Gellar

I think in running, to be honest, that even though athletes are very dedicated and

are willing to train and do whatever they need to do to prepare, more often than not they're not in a very professional environment where you've got a high performance director and a coach that are really monitoring your daily activities. Alberto Salazar God forbid you sing about love. It's a lost concept. Lenny Kravitz If you don't have the right people around you and you're moving at a million miles an hour you can lose yourself. Dave Chappelle I guess somehow I got a reputation of being able to dance. Uma Thurman I'm more interested in being good than being famous. Annie Leibovitz Understanding is a three-edged sword. Your side, my side, and the truth. J. Michael Straczynski Conflict happens. People aren't happy all of the time. Sara Ramirez I guess I'd like to get old and die, in that order. Preston Manning The hard fact is that not everyone does get published. Rudy Rucker

Stars wide of belt often cultivated a gentlemanly grandeur, a groomed refinement that filtered through

their fingertips - the dainty fidgets of Hardy's plump digits, Orson Welles performing magic tricks with nimble dexterity, Jackie Gleason lofting a teacup to his lips as if he were Lady Bracknell - or through a fine set of twinkle-toes. James Wolcott Let us lose none of their humble words, let us note their slightest gestures, and tell me, tell me that we will think of them together, now and later, when we realise the misery of the times and the magnitude of their sacrifice. Georges Duhamel There is no need for nuclear. The world can be powered by wind, water and sun alone. Mark Z. Jacobson Maybe I can't act, but I know the gimmicks. I studied acting all my life and know what's good for me. Alan Ladd The animals are right here, right in front of us. And how we treat these companions is a test. Linda Blair Toughness doesn't have to come in a pinstripe suit. Dianne Feinstein But we cannot just take this historical fact for granted. We must make it live.

Bananas are great, as I believe them to be the only known cure for existential

dread. Also, Mother Teresa said that in India, a woman dying in the street will share her banana with anyone who needs it, whereas in America, people amass and hoard as many bananas as they can to sell for an exorbitant profit. So half of them go bad, anyway. Anne Lamott I think if I had to choose, I would rather have gravity instead of zero gravity. It's fun for a while, but I'd rather live on Earth. Kevin A. Ford I remember when first, Stripes, and then Animal House came out - which I was really proud of, even though it was kind of loose and quite raucous - there were imitative movies that were not quite as good. Ivan Reitman My son has died of AIDS. Nelson Mandela I watch a lot of professional skating, and I am really looking forward to going to nationals. Debi Thomas I used to be more of a sporty girl. I love outdoor activities. I haven't been doing much since living in Vancouver. I have my routines down in L.A. Lana Parrilla I have been through two wars

People have had certain assumptions in the past about Conservative governments, partly because of some

of the things that happened in the 1980s, and partly because of the tone of some of the debate in the 1980s that appeared to say public spending on the arts was something you might want to progressively reduce. Jeremy Hunt Conventionally handsome is not really where I'm at. Domhnall Gleeson This sunlight linked me through the ages to that past consciousness. Richard Jefferies I put a lot of pressure on myself and I think I am quite... well, intense about driving other people. Matthew Fox Film is a very intimate medium. David Morse There are so many people, deaf or otherwise abled, who are so talented but overlooked or not given a chance to even get their foot in the door. Marlee Matlin I hike and make sure everything I eat is organic. Janice Dickinson Five years ago, people were crying and feeling the Japanese were about to take over the Earth. I don't hear that kind of talk anymore. Jack Kilby Extraordinary allegations require extraordinary evidence. Lanc

What I am saying every day to Malawians is that time has come for us

to move from aid to trade. We have picked several sectors that we think we can focus on immediately in order for us to grow our economy. So we have decided to diversify agriculture, we decided to develop our tourism sector, we have decided to develop our mining sector. Joyce Banda It's a pretty widely-accepted notion that the atmosphere is a ridiculously complex system, and the best we can do with our models is a rough approximation. Jamais Cascio Once you are dancing with the devil, the prettiest capers won't help you. E. T. A. Hoffmann I hate not giving the people what they want. Robin Thicke Please don't retouch my wrinkles. It took me so long to earn them. Anna Magnani Every guitar I own gets used and has its purpose. Mark Knopfler If you guys are interested in getting any kind of animal, definitely go and adopt. Booboo Stewart The United States is like a big company, and we need a CEO to run it. David A. Siegel Even when I was playing, I never t

People always ask me, 'Is there a rivalry between the Nickelodeon and Disney stars? Do

you guys hate each other?' Like everyone has to be on one team. If you're a Selena Gomez fan, you can't be a Victoria Justice fan. We're both half-Latin, and people put us in the same category. Victoria Justice I don't take me seriously. If we get some giggles, I don't mind. Paul McCartney But I didn't ask to have somebody nose around in my private life. I didn't even ask to be famous. All I asked was to be able to earn a living making people laugh. Carol Burnett I find humans tremendously interesting. David Brin Comparing in the past years, Tamyra Gray and everyone else that didn't win but their careers are doing well. LaToya London It is impossible to talk or to write without apparently throwing oneself helplessly open. Herman Melville The guy that just arranges things so that the stock market holds up is nobody in my - in my estimation. James Stockdale I draw what I feel, which is no more than doing my job. Ralph Bakshi I&#

People like her because she's like a breath of fresh air. Because in the fifth

book it gets so dark and Harry's always cross and then every time Luna comes in all the tension goes and she makes you laugh because she's so funny and really honest. I don't know how much I'm like her, there are some similarities but I'm more determined than her. Evanna Lynch I would say I spend about an hour a day cleansing and moisturising after all of the make-up I've worn on jobs, and on weekends I tend to go bare-faced to give my skin a bit of a break. Poppy Delevingne If you asked me if I'd rather be Speaker or a very senior minister, I'd say Speaker. John Bercow My success is not due to any personal superiority over other people. John Philip Sousa Bluster, sputter, question, cavil; but be sure your argument be intricate enough to confound the court. William Wycherley Scotland is the best place in the whole world. Gail Porter There's only one Mark McGwire. The man walked over 160 times. Just think. If he walks 60 times, he mi

Although this crisis in some ways started in the United States, it is a global

crisis. We bear a substantial share of the responsibility for what has happened, but factors that made the crisis so acute and so difficult to contain lie in a broader set of global forces that built up in the years before the start of our current troubles. Timothy Geithner The labels are in a jam. For a company to do well in music now, it's got to be in all aspects of the business. And Live Nation is the risk-taker. It's leading the charge. Guy Oseary Skin is made in large measure of a protein called collagen. Michael Behe Obama's explanation for the slowdown in economic growth is that the public sector is hurting, and that's where Washington must step in and act. John Podhoretz Hey, man, I toss a stick for a living. Gotta spice up that deal, y'know. Gotta stand out. Breaux Greer I went to India, lived, and studied. Rick James The confidence is there, the game is there, but physically you can't fight nature sometimes. You can't do much abo

I always felt like if you get to a point where you've got enough money

to invest in something real, you gotta invest in anything that's related to a natural resource because that's gonna be here forever - so you might as well invest in something that's gonna be here, rather than invest in something that's gonna wear out. Akon You see a moral in them? Do we have morals? Joel Coen The library is seen as a force for self improvement and the pursuit of knowledge. I fear that in many cases this is no longer true, if it ever was. John Redwood The beauty of a face is not a separate quality but a relation or proportion of qualities to each other. George Herbert Mead The gratification of desire is not happiness. Daisaku Ikeda The value of friends has always been a natural thing. I prefer too many to too few. Mick Fleetwood If you become a teacher, by your pupils you'll be taught. Oscar Hammerstein II Our goal is not to build a platform; it's to be cross all of them. Mark Zuckerberg One of the basic things about a string is t

There is a very definite Russian heart in me; that never dies. I think you're

born and you live your life with it and you die with it. I'm very much an American - my books tend to be about American things, but inside there's that sort of tortured, long-suffering, aching, constantly analysing Russian soul underneath the happy American exterior. Paullina Simons Did Superman really want to save the world, or did he just feel like he had to? Would he much rather be a farmer? Maybe. Would he much rather be hanging out with his dad and his mom and his dog? Probably. Gerard Way Anxiety, it just stops your life. Amanda Seyfried I'd much rather do an obviously commercial writing project than get a day job. Poppy Z. Brite Thank God my parents had an abundance of patience. Lexa Doig It would almost need a Mafia-like offer I couldn't refuse to do another movie. Sean Connery In some strange way, this was meant to be. Joel Gretsch I'd like to think I'm a great teacher. Gordon Ramsay I just happen to have one of those skill sets that all

I think doctors are really suffering now. They're suffering in the sense that they feel

torn between serving their patients in the best way they can and dealing with all of requirements of the insurance companies and the HMOs and the hassles and the paper work and the increasing pressures to do less and less for their patients. Marcia Angell Make them laugh, make them cry, and hack to laughter. What do people go to the theatre for? An emotional exercise. I am a servant of the people. I have never forgotten that. Mary Pickford When a lot of musicians change styles, their songwriting suffers because they want to be different. Noel Gallagher Romance is everything. Gertrude Stein When I was nearly twelve years old, my kind mistress sickened and died. Harriet Ann Jacobs We moved leisurely towards Mount Foster, on the 22nd, and arrived opposite to it a little before sunset. Charles Sturt Listen closely as those around you speak; great truths are revealed in jest. Javan You must first get along with yourself before you can get along with others. Anthony J. D'An

China has not established the rule of law and if there is a power above

the law there is no social justice. Everybody can be subjected to harm. I'm just a citizen: my life is equal in value to any other. But I'm thankful that when I lost my freedom so many people shared feelings and put such touching effort into helping me. Ai Weiwei When it kind of went to 'Street Fighter', where you had to push 13 buttons with all 13 of your fingers and ripped the spine out of somebody, you know, violent games lost the women. Complexity lost the casual gamer. Nolan Bushnell But I do believe in the paranormal, that there are things our brains just can't understand. Art Bell I'm not making films just to be bold. Yash Chopra In 1984, I turned to theater in the hopes of finding a more direct form of communication between me and my people. Cherrie Moraga Along with our friends in the GCC, the first order of business is stability. Beyond the imperative of stability, the most important priority is job creation for all Bahrainis. Hamad bin Isa A

Trust your gut instinct over spreadsheets. There are too many variables in the real world

that you simply can't put into a spreadsheet. Spreadsheets spit out results from your inexact assumptions and give you a false sense of security. In most cases, your heart and gut are still your best guide. Naveen Jain A tall, thin old man waving a scorecard from the corner of his dugout. That's baseball. Ernie Harwell I want all my books to provoke some kind of response in the reader, to make them think something or feel something or both, and for that to become a part of them and work into their own lives. Linda Sue Park I'm in between homes right now, but my last house was dope. Method Man What the Beatles did was something incredible, it was more than what a band could do. We have to give them respect. Yoko Ono I've always been asked, 'What is my favorite car?' and I've always said 'The next one.' Carroll Shelby I'm marriable. But I'm not married. Rachel Weisz If I paint something, I don't want to have to explain what it

My feeling about growing up in New Jersey was, 'How come I'm not in New

York?' That being said, I'm older and I have a better worldview now, and so I think I grew up in an incredibly privileged position. The town I grew up in is beautiful. I got a great education, and I'm very grateful for it. Anne Hathaway Everywhere that the struggle for national freedom has triumphed, once the authorities agreed, there were military coups d'etat that overthrew their leaders. That is the result time and time again. Ahmed Ben Bella There are a lot of people who get support from a thriving business. Steve Madden To have a very strong opinion all the time is corrosive to a person's intellect. It becomes your default position. Denise Mina I was naturally skinny and had braces, so I wasn't a cute model. Amanda Seyfried Nothing can be more hurtful to the service, than the neglect of discipline; for that discipline, more than numbers, gives one army the superiority over another. George Washington The 'science' for which the United Sta

The man who is gloomy, taciturn and lives in a world of doubt seldom achieves

more than a bare living. There have been a few who have groaned their way through to a competence, but in proportion to that overwhelming number of souls who carry cheer through life, they are as nothing - mere drops in the bucket. Douglas Fairbanks Chart positions are for people with manbags who get to work at 11 A.M. because they've been at a digital meeting. Noel Gallagher Surprises can be compelling. Cathy McMorris Rodgers All my coaches tell me that I have been under achieving. Shane Warne As a university, we're not focused on bringing about huge reforms - that's not our role. William P. Leahy I was lucky enough to be able to grow and mature in a natural way as an actress. Kate Burton The man for me is the cherry on the pie. But I'm the pie and my pie is good all by itself. Even if I don't have a cherry. Halle Berry There is one thing women can never take away from men. We die sooner. P. J. O'Rourke I like naps. I don't drink coffee. Spi

As a young entrepreneur starting an enterprise company, be prepared for the fact that you'll

need to get involved in enterprise sales. Everyone wants to speak to the founder, and this is also how you'll get feedback on your product. It's worth bringing in early somebody with enterprise sales experience. Anthony Goldbloom Good writing of course requires talent, and no one can teach you to have talent. Peter Carey The value of a currency is, ultimately, what someone will give you for it - whether in food, fuel, assets, or labor. And that's always and everywhere a subjective decision. James Surowiecki Josie needed more of a personality than what the cartoon had to offer. Rachael Leigh Cook I believe that if your primary motivation in life is to be moral, you don't become an artist. Mary Gordon The more of your private life you put into the public domain, the smaller your private life becomes. Kevin McCloud The most popular rap artists aren't supposed to be rapping about being broke. Danny Brown Obviously every one of them was special to that part

The words 'maybe' and 'perhaps' are literally the same - the flavor is the same,

the educational level is the same. But you just know when to use maybe and when to use perhaps. I think it's because of this: You get to know the tastes or musical tastes of words themselves, and this informs your choice, whether you use them or not. David Mitchell We moved in to help the Vietnamese defend their country and confront the Viet Cong. William Westmoreland The only way to grow is to challenge yourself. Ashley Tisdale My high school girlfriend would ask if I finally learned how to unbutton the back of a sweater! Breckin Meyer I guess I'm growing up in the film world. Devon Sawa If you can make a character likable that's not very nice, that's the challenge of the job. Zooey Deschanel I do some concerts. At the moment, I'm being helped a lot by a gig I play in London, which is Pizza Express. Mose Allison I'd seen my father. He was a poor man, and I watched him do astonishing things. Sidney Poitier I'm a lager drinker. I'm quite a

Allowing suspects to indefinitely linger in our cells is, in fact, detrimental to our national

security goals. If a suspect is proven to be a terrorist, for the sake of the victims and deterring any future attacks, he or she must be brought to justice. America has done this with Timothy McVeigh and hundreds of other terrorists. John Garamendi It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory. W. Edwards Deming I resent limitations. I'm going to be this way for a while. Fiona Apple I'm not just a cuckolded wife. Elizabeth Edwards When you're not concerned with succeeding, you can work with complete freedom. Larry David A big part of the Motown formula was, they took music and turned it into this sort of automotive assembly line. They were cranking out 10 songs a day in that studio, or more. Mayer Hawthorne I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, 'No, you just have anxiety.' Jessica Chastain I hope Obama gets scary in the next four years, 'cuz he ain't gotta worry about getting re-elected. Samuel L. Jackson Antioxidants have

In the whole course of our work at the theatre we have been, I may

say, drenched with advice by friendly people who for years gave us the reasons why we did not succeed... All their advice, or at least some of it, might have been good if we had wanted to make money, to make a common place of amusement. Lady Gregory I feel very fortunate to be compared to somebody so incredible. Michael Jackson's an icon. Justin Timberlake Nothing's better than coming away from a film when people don't even recognize you, because you've undergone a total transformation. Warwick Davis Right now it seems like the girls are drawing more attention to country music. Miranda Lambert Love food and I love to eat. Salma Hayek We weren't by any means like the Grateful Dead or something, who could just roll on and on and on. Neil Innes I never was the story. The story was the story. Period. Mike Wallace I show people how to build their own immortality device. Alex Chiu I want to just do my job and do it well. Mia Wasikowska

We have been educated into believing someone else's concept of the deity, and someone else's

standard of beauty. You have the right to practice any religion and politics in a way that best suits your freedom, your dignity, and your understanding. And once you do that, you don't apologize. John Henrik Clarke I have a little bit of an addiction to work. So I'm always hiding in the bathroom with my Blackberry to work when I'm on holiday. Penelope Cruz I write on a visual canvas, 'seeing' a scene in my thoughts before translating it into language, so I'm a visual junkie. Marianne Wiggins How most consumers collect and interpret health information has changed. James Heywood All created forms are fractal, as is their purpose, use, and allotted time for existence. Guy Finley There won't be editors in the future with the Internet world, with citizen reporting. That doesn't scare me. Matt Drudge Well yes, my son was bar mitzvahed last April, after I made this film. Jami Gertz There is no prospect that the United States will say to Israel, &

The wonderful thing about 48 fps is the integration of live action and CG elements;

that is something I learned from 'The Hobbit.' We are so used to 24 fps and the romance of celluloid... but at 48 fps, you cannot deny the existence of these CG creations in the same time frame and space and environment as the live action. Andy Serkis I'm going to be in technology for a long time. Eric Lefkofsky Hopefully my music is medicine, some type of antidote for something or some kind of explanation or just to feel good. Erykah Badu I always say, you never know how much your parents loved you until you have a child to love. Jennifer Hudson In golf, 'close' is like the north and south rim of the Grand Canyon. Johnny Miller She was deeply passionate about the sacred feminine. Dan Brown Once you climb to another level, you have to figure out how to sustain it. Mary J. Blige I don't really dress up for Halloween. Katharine McPhee I'm just paid to do whatever I want to do. Some of the time it's development, and some of the time it's

I've always been part of comedy. One of the things about our family was that

if we were reasonably funny with each other, particularly my two brothers and myself, when my father was upset with something you'd want to make sure in some way you made him laugh. Because when he didn't laugh, you were in trouble! Leslie Nielsen Presented with a song like Exit Music, It's impossible to know what to add without actually making it worse. How can you play along when It's already there? Jonny Greenwood But I do believe this - I believe that fundamentally, society is headed in the right direction or wants to head in the right direction, and I think judges have an obligation to try to help it head there. Judge Mills Lane I think 'destiny' is just a fancy word for a psychological pattern. Jodie Foster I've made a lot of stupid action films in my life but I like stupid action films and am kind of proud of them. Joel Silver Anywhere you go in the world is what you make of it, not what you read in books. Alvin Lee We don't have to st

Of course, I have a different vested interest in the gay community, because I am

gay, and I would certainly enjoy the tax advantages that straight people have, and the inheritance advantages, and things like Social Security, but I've always been a civil rights advocate across the board. That's how I was raised. Janis Ian I have to remind my dad, 'Journalists - no matter how many cigars they smoke with you - are not your friends, so don't talk to them.' Cameron Diaz Mr. Disney believed everyone was still a child deep inside. Annette Funicello It's a Cyprus of misery and soup kitchens and a state which cannot meet basic obligations. It can only cause me grief. Nicos Anastasiades I grew up going to museums. I was privileged to discover art and artists in a very personal way. Thelma Golden In the military, as in any organization, giving the order might be the easiest part. Execution is the real game. Russel Honore Obviously because of my personal connection to Mandela and having had his story as part of my childhood, I knew how aweso

But what we're determined to do, and what the reforms will do is to make

sure this system goes back to its core purpose of taking the savings of Americans and from investors around the world and allocating those to people with an idea, not just the largest companies in the country, but to small businesses with an idea and a plan for growing. Timothy Geithner You retire when you are sick and when you can't do it any more or when the public retires you. That's the most painful, because that's the one that leaves you wanting to accomplish more. Julio Iglesias I want to be an artist, not... a celluloid aphrodisiac. Marilyn Monroe But I'm attracted to roles where I get to really go in and explore a character. Sheryl Lee It's funny; as I get older I'm reverting to my roots - I want to plant stuff. Melissa McCarthy Growing up I always shopped at Victoria's Secret with my mom and saw Angels like Gisele and Karolina Kurkova in the windows. Lindsay Ellingson For any director with a little lucidity, masterpieces are films that c

I am an ambitious person, but I am not ambitious in the sense that I

want jobs only for the sake of them... I am here to do things I think are worthwhile. I am always careful that the political positions I take are consistent with good policy. I would not want to be prime minister of Australia at any price. Malcolm Turnbull My family is awesome. Miranda Lambert I get work because I'm primarily a novelist but I've become script doctor. I can work back and forth between French and English. Norman Spinrad If you're sick, take your sick day. If you don't take your sick day, know what your reward is? You weren't sick - that was the reward. Chris Christie Every situation has changed me as a person. David Beckham I choose roles that are not me. January Jones The problem with writing a book about bulimia is that whenever you go to the washroom, people think you're throwing up. Emma Forrest When I was in high school, I read all of Neil Simon's plays. Darius Rucker But I've been at writing long enough now to know th

The mental capacity of a person to make reasonable contracts, is the only criterion, by

which to determine his legal capacity to make obligatory contracts. And his mental capacity to make reasonable contracts is certainly not to be determined by the fact that he is, or is not, twenty-one years of age. Lysander Spooner Sometimes, when you see the newspaper and you read something I said, you say, 'Oh, I can't believe he said that.' Chris Christie I'm a tenured professor. But I'd get rid of tenure. Francis Fukuyama Look at people for an example, but then make sure to do things your way. Surround yourself with positive people. Queen Latifah I've tested life and I've learned what works for me. Joe Namath A zeal for the defence of their country led these heroes to the scene of action, though with a few men to attack a powerful army of experienced warriors. Daniel Boone Some people seem to see compassion as being mushy. Laura Schlessinger Anyone afraid of what he thinks television does to the world is probably just afraid of the world. C

I'd done table reads for my own screenplays, and I always thought they were so

much fun. Why couldn't we do these for other classic screenplays and bring them to life? You can experience live theater, where you get to see plays produced by different directors and different casts, but there's really nothing like that for movie scripts. Jason Reitman The first time I met Wayne Gretzky... he never said anything back. Gordie Howe An idea isn't worth much until a man is found who has the energy and ability to make it work. William Feather Fashion is nice, but it's for the fans. If it were up to me, I'd be in a sweat suit! Gloria Estefan In 1947 I married Rowena Palmer, and we have two daughters, Alison and Claire, and a son, John. Martin Ryle I think people really don't like cops so much; they're kind of rude to them or treat them like they can't see them. Leelee Sobieski I think I will serve as secretary of state as my last public position. Hillary Clinton I really do not make deals. Arlen Specter I judge people very qu

I love, love writing about Los Angeles. I love exploring every part of it. And

I find, rather than a burden, it's actually one of the most enjoyable parts of the writing process for me. I love everything about L.A. Okay, not the traffic. But I love the way it looks. I love the geography. I love the diversity. Robert Crais When Stark isn't off sulking somewhere, or whatever he's doing when he won't return my calls, I alternate between the two. That usually works well, though occasionally an idea for the wrong guy drifts through my mind. Donald E. Westlake I saw a transvestite wearing a T-shirt that said 'Guess'. Demetri Martin I'm very private. Bethenny Frankel I feel better in my body now than when I was 20. Why not? Emmanuelle Beart Go to a place where you're not going to be stressed, because a honeymoon itself can be a stressful thing. Diane von Furstenberg Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant? Henry David Thoreau I can imagine no society which does not

They're making so few movies that you really just have to make it. It's going

to be the only way you end up getting work. I don't believe anyone's going to really go out on a limb and just throw millions of dollars on someone that's not been proven. They're going to have to show somebody something at some point. Dax Shepard It has too often been too easy for rulers and governments to incite man to war. Lester B. Pearson A certain slightly cruel disregard for the feelings of living people is simply part of the package. I think a writer, if he's any good, is not an entirely benign entity in the world. Michael Cunningham I would be willing, yes glad, to see a battle every day during my life. George Armstrong Custer I liked the banana-seat bikes with the high handlebars - maybe a card in the wheel could have been part of it. Stone Gossard Women think with their whole bodies and they see things as a whole more than men do. Dorothy Day I just talk, and I guess some of my views came out. Sandy Duncan The strange thing about Africa is h

I don't have time for their judgement and their stupidity and you know they lay

down with their ugly wives in front of their ugly children and look at their loser lives and then they look at me and they say, 'I can't process it' well, no, you never will stop trying, just sit back and enjoy the show. You know? Charlie Sheen I'm not a shill for the Democratic Party. Michael J. Fox It's a war zone, my body, and one which has been through a great deal. Amitabh Bachchan I'm just happy I'm not a phony. Mike Tyson I still think of Heaven as a liberal-arts school. Mike White It's always a struggle growing up in Akron. LeBron James For me, I'm OK doing embarrassing things, when it's with somebody else. I'm not the only person to look at. Amy Smart I watch my wheat intake. Molly Sims As sophisticated as the technology gets, the less sophisticated you have to become as an actor. Brendan Fraser

There is no more reason to think that they expected the world to remain static

than there is to think that any of us holds a crystal ball. The only way to create a foundational document that could stand the test of time was to build in enough flexibility that later generations would be able to adapt it to their own needs and uses. Diane Wood But people are now realising why I was playing bass with Hendrix. Noel Redding You can only be young once. But you can always be immature. Dave Barry I'm not intelligent enough to be a doctor, and kind of hands down you can't argue with the worth of that. But I don't really have an opinion about the worth of making art. Rupert Friend Faced with destruction, the Jewish people survived. Jonathan Sacks Martin Sheen was extraordinary. He's a very gifted man. Terrence Malick I felt a tremendous sadness for men who can't deal with a woman of their own age. Michael Caine The Cold War was wildly expensive and consumed the entire globe. David Remnick We are all very individual. You have to find out

For Christian faith not to be idle in the world, the work of doctors and

garbage collectors, business executives and artists, stay-at-home moms or dads and scientists needs to be inserted into God's story with the world. That story needs to provide the most basic rules by which the game in all these spheres is played. Miroslav Volf The danger in promiscuity is that it's always barking at your heels. Rick Springfield I still have to audition for most things. Loretta Devine It is like visiting one's funeral, like visiting loss in its purest and most monumental form, this wild darkness, which is not only unknown but which one cannot enter as oneself. Harold Brodkey I might have been born into a very literal sense of chaos, but in fact that state is true of all of us. Anselm Kiefer It takes a few years to prepare for a space mission. Sally Ride In the United States, we do a pretty good job of protecting iconic landscapes and postcard views, but the ocean gets no respect. Jeff Goodell I love romantic comedies. Lil' Romeo I don'

My previous visits to Australia created fantastic memories, so I'm definitely looking forward to another

visit. It is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. I think every person in the entire country is nice. Seriously, I haven't seen or heard of a mean person yet. And they love country music. Joe Nichols The march of the human mind is slow. Edmund Burke In actual life I am a grumpy old bag. Dawn French I'm a businessman and actor and I still make appearances. Carl Lewis People have perhaps gotten to the point where for the most part movies are a just bit of escape. Neil LaBute I never experienced any feelings of closeness and caring from my parents. Alan Sugar I can't really comment on rumors. Larry Page My cheeks explode when I smile. That's why I have to look so nonplussed. Rufus Wainwright Baseball is not a sport you can achieve individually. Curt Schilling

I'm a huge classics fan. I love Ernest Hemingway and J.D. Salinger. I'm that guy

who rereads a book before I read newer stuff, which is probably not all that progressive, and it's not really going to make me a better reader. I'm like, 'Oh, my God, you should read To Kill a Mockingbird.' John Krasinski I think television scripts have become really intriguing and well-done. And writers have stopped drawing any actual line between film and television they used to never cross. Natalie Zea I've been lucky to work with people that I like most of the time. If I don't like them, I'll play head games with them to get their minds spinning. Vince Vaughn I'm not really a bird person or an Audubon guy who studies them, but as I was around them, they interested me. Gordon Lightfoot I feel like I've lived quite a sheltered life, like my mom and dad were quite protective of me. Leona Lewis I do believe that every person has an equal opportunity to be a good and wise judge regardless of their background or life experiences. Sonia Sotoma

The trouble with the jokes is that once they're written, I know how they're supposed

to work, and all I can do is not hit them. I'm more comfortable improvising. If I have just two or three ideas and I know how the character feels, what the character wants, everything in between is like trapeze work. Stephen Colbert Gold Gloves are nice to have people mention. They're basically saying you're a pretty good defensive player along with everything else. But I was about the offensive side. Mike Schmidt HBO is not an advertiser-based model, it's a subscription model. So what's significant to HBO is not necessarily the debut of an episode, it's the cumulative numbers. Michael Mann Part of making any endeavour is that each one has its own special problems. It's the nature of the process. Martin Scorsese I love most melodic music - classical, reggae, big band, jazz, blues, country, pop, swing, folk. John Lescroart My goal is to entertain myself and others. Ray Bradbury I've been going to China every year now for more than a decade. Pa

Back, you know, a few generations ago, people didn't have a way to share information

and express their opinions efficiently to a lot of people. But now they do. Right now, with social networks and other tools on the Internet, all of these 500 million people have a way to say what they're thinking and have their voice be heard. Mark Zuckerberg I believe, however, that impending events will call us and we must respond but where, with whom, and how? John Burns My dad, he is such a soft man. Even if he has these opinions about my boyfriends, he will be the sweetest guy. He will make you feel like you're fascinating and awesome, even if he doesn't like you that much. Amanda Seyfried You might think about putting some heavy-duty hooks into the ceiling joists and beams so that you can have a rope ladder, or a small swing inside your house. Paula Yates There is no shame like poor shame. It can make you warm and charming, bitter and resentful, all at once. Beth Ditto People are optimistic about the future. Helen Clark The usual cause of evil in the world

In history, one gathers clues like a detective, tries to present an honest account of

what most likely happened, and writes a narrative according to what we know and, where we aren't absolutely sure, what might be most likely to have happened, within the generally accepted rules of evidence and sources. Victor Davis Hanson We joke about it in the entertainment industry: Every actor wants to be a musician, and every musician wants to be an actor. Lance Bass There are only so many notes so there must be only so many melodies. Willie Nelson I'm not as shy as everybody makes me out to be. Caroline Kennedy It's not so much the dressing up, but I love the idea of moving and existing in a different time. Francesca Annis When I talk to Steve Martin, he's joyful when he talks about comedy. David Steinberg I know a lot of actors don't watch themselves on TV, but I think it's good to see how else you can improve. Michael Welch 'Radioactive' is the fall out of my life's inspirations, a testament to my ability to survive it all and t

Gemeoss

My uncle inspired me, and it was because of him that I become a wrestler,

but besides him, the one Superstar that really caught my attention growing up as a kid was 'Macho Man' Randy Savage.Rey Mysterio It's clear that Planned Parenthood went out of its way to paint me as some sort of a zealot - a Trojan-horse zealot who came into Komen and within 10 to 11 months had completely turned the place upside down. That's clearly not who I am, and it's not what happened.Karen Handel Once you become president, you don't even have to stop for red lights. And if it looks like traffic's too bad, you just take a helicopter.H. W. Brands From Julia Child to 'The Galloping Gourmet' and the Food Channel and Cooking Channel, our fascination with the spectacle of cooking has been a mainstay of TV entertainment.Chuck Norris I want to love. I want to enjoy life.David Cassidy The mistake we made in the 1990s was overestimating the potential of NAFTA's positive impact.William M. Daley I was set to confront the might of the

Years ago nobody was elected on the economic ticket. It was either the education platform,

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

If I can avoid looking at myself, I will. I don't care to examine myself

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

The higher mental development of woman, the less possible it is for her to meet

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

One of the worst things about being an actor, besides people being nice to you

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

I pondered all these things, and how men fight and lose the battle, and the

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

What we don't talk about enough is Ohio's unique and remarkable quality of life. We

are a state of cities, small towns and growing suburbs where life is affordable and destinations within reach. There is no better place to raise a family. Bob Taft We must always remember with gratitude and admiration the first sailors who steered their vessels through storms and mists, and increased our knowledge of the lands of ice in the South. Roald Amundsen Remember the two benefits of failure. First, if you do fail, you learn what doesn't work; and second, the failure gives you the opportunity to try a new approach. Roger von Oech Moving from Wales to Italy is like moving to a different country. Ian Rush Apply yourself both now and in the next life. Without effort, you cannot be prosperous. Though the land be good, You cannot have an abundant crop without cultivation. Plato I haven't collected memorabilia. I am not a person who lives in the past. Yvonne Craig No, I do it all, but I do love to play solo. Bruce Hornsby

I've become wary of interviews in which you're forced to go back over the reasons

why you made certain decisions. You tend to rationalize what you've done, to intellectually review a process that is often intuitive. Peter Weir With this first novel, I am just above the foothills, but I see the path to the top, and it is my desire to write compelling stories about everything that I find of interest. Guy Johnson Even though the vast majority of my work was outside television, the amount of creation and inventing that went into the TV shows was non stop and, unknown to me, a great strain. Paul Daniels Black women, whose experience is unique, are seldom recognized as a particular social-cultural entity and are seldom thought to be important enough for serious scholarly consideration. Barbara Smith I wouldn't say anything is impossible. I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and put the work and time into it. Michael Phelps Either you write songs or you don't. And if you do write songs like I do, I think there

I'd say I'm a bit antimadridista although I do not know where my future will

be, but it's a team that I never liked. I get the impression that it is an arrogant club, about how the players are. Without humility, you cannot get anywhere. Isco I'm very big on doing my own thing. Rob Kardashian When I was younger, I definitely did face anti-ginger prejudice. As a child, all teasing hurts, whether it's because you're fat or a different race or have red hair. I had enough comments from a couple of people to make it a sore point. Lily Cole I think people like to see a little larceny in their heroes. James Garner I spent my childhood watching every scary movie that Hollywood ever made. And I think that gave me the best education for storytelling. It also made me want to reproduce the scary moments that I felt, sitting in a theater at the age of 5. Tess Gerritsen Movies are extremely imitative of one another. Whatever works, people will try to do it. Octavia E. Butler Women are liked better when they lose. Gloria Steinem Our TV and

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
