being Argentine, even though I left there. I've been clear about this since I was very young, and I never wanted to change. Barcelona is my home because both the club and the people here have given me everything, but I won't stop being Argentine. Lionel Messi I'm really lucky to be married to a perfect person. Mireille Enos I think the best riffs and the best songs come when you're jamming and having a good time. Scott Ian Without solid connections between homicides, we may have the reverse problem of believing three local murders are the work of one serial killer when they may actually be the work of three! Pat Brown Abortion is either OK or it's not. Peggy Noonan Well, I'm... first and foremost I'm a theater guy and everything that I know comes from the theater. Scott Bakula I was raised in the church. Kenny Rogers The reflexive allergy to L.A. that a lot of New Yorkers have, I feel like it's kind of nonsense. Josh Radnor The mo

violence or battle or mutating and stuff like that really does take a toll on your voice. And I've even had to start to go to a voice guru kind of guy to do exercises to try to save and get back some of what I lost. Michael Gough When one is frightened of the truth then it is never the whole truth that one has an inkling of. Ludwig Wittgenstein The line between greatness and obscurity is very, very small. Peabo Bryson I needed to grow up and do things all adults do. It was time to stop having everything spoon fed to me. It was about being independent. Paula Creamer I believe God weeps over - over death. Jesus wept at the grave the Lazarus. In the Bible, Jesus weeps at death. Steven Curtis Chapman If you're going to be an entertainer, entertain thoroughly. If you're going to make a scary movie, scare people well. Andrew Bryniarski Sometimes a 3-1 favorite loses. That's why they call it gambling, and that's why they keep flipping over the cards. Richa

as difficult as that sounds, and grow from them. When a project is successful, you're never really sure why, because so many elements come into play. However, when you fail, you always know why. That is how you learn and grow. Lynda Resnick I can't talk about foreign policy like anyone who's spent their life reading and learning foreign policy. But as a citizen in a democracy, it's very important that I participate in that. Ron Silver Environmental quality was drastically improved while economic activity grew by the simple expedient of removing lead from gasoline - which prevented it from entering the environment. Barry Commoner I can't really dress rock 'n' roll any more because I'm the wrong side of 40, but I want that to be the fashion. Daniel Craig I disagree strongly with the concept of separation of church and state. It was not written into the Constitution. Ken Buck I'm a bit of an insomniac. I go to bed at 5am because I get c

are two electrodes that go into the spine where they cut bone away to accommodate it. Now I put on the power here. If I have the pain, the stimulator starts. It's tingling, like when your foot falls asleep, you know? Jerry Lewis It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father. Pope John XXIII It was just two energies between two people, you can't prescribe that. Ralph Fiennes I was looking for something to make me happy, and once I realised what I actually had, then I found success. Rebecca Ferguson I just create, that's what I do. Patti LuPone It's very homely, this castle. It doesn't have huge ballrooms. I didn't want a cold, cavernous place. Enya I'm real critical of myself and if I take the bandana off my head I'm completely bald headed and go from being 58 to looking 68 instantly. Hulk Hogan But the real interesting stuff is in the cellar and the attic. Sherman Alexie I would like to thank

is that rarest of phenomena, a Jewish festival without food. Instead it is a day of fasting and prayer, introspection and self-judgment when, collectively and repeatedly, we confess our sins and pray to be written into God's Book of Life. Jonathan Sacks I am very, very proud of my ability as a cook. Anna Held People think, 'Jack, you do too much.' Jack Ma My dad has always been really helpful. He taught me that talent is a bonus, but persistence is what wins out. Zosia Mamet If Christ can die in a barn, I think the death of a human in a van is not so bad. Jack Kevorkian My opinion, young people go to the Internet. To the Internet distribution system right now, you put it up there and it's accessed by the world. Barry Diller The library helps lower- and middle-income people - immigrants - get their shot at the American dream. Stephen A. Schwarzman Any child can be developed, it depends on how you do it. Shinichi Suzuki I get more choices of things

up, I'd go to an audition, my friends would go to soccer practice and we'd all reconvene and hang out in our neighborhood. When I would book something, I would never tell my friends. Acting was just fun. I was a kid, I wasn't jaded. Shailene Woodley If reality shows are so popular, that means their viewers are screaming for more realness. Omari Hardwick We're always just telling stories, and stories are always just approximations of the truth. It's never the truth exactly. Brit Marling I hope that my investment into Atomico will become my best financial investment to date. Niklas Zennstrom Luckily, I'm in the position now of being able to play purely because I have the desire to do so. Chico Hamilton It seems that when you get to a certain age you almost give yourself permission to misbehave and say what you think. People allow it, with very old people. Julie Walters I, myself, don't like to see a film on Friday night and then forget

white people arrived. In fact, Africans had been creators of culture for thousands of years before. These were very intelligent, subtle and sophisticated people, with organized societies and great art. Henry Louis Gates I want to race as long as I'm having fun, it's competitive and healthy, and who knows when that, you know, date comes when that's not happening anymore. Jeff Gordon The only way you can get good, unless you're a genius, is to copy. That's the best thing. Just steal. Ritchie Blackmore I don't have a problem with my image; it's other people who do. Samantha Fox I came to Hollywood and within a decade I was one of the biggest action stars of all time. Arnold Schwarzenegger If you fight back and get hit, it hurts a little while; if you don't fight back it hurts forever. Joel Siegel Helping someone come to a saving knowledge of Christ is the greatest achievement possible. Charles Stanley I have never participated directly

put it somewhere. Theater allowed me to really feel things, to laugh, to cry, to explode outward. I could do anything and it was totally accepted and appreciated. If I hadn't gone into the theater, I probably would have been a psychotic killer. Faith Prince I do not intend to prejudge the past. William Whitelaw On a live-action movie, things happen that are unexpected. In animation, you have to fabricate the feeling. That takes a tremendous amount of nuance until the film becomes sentient and gives back. Gore Verbinski I played football and ran track in junior high, but by high school I was getting serious about my studies. George Smoot Seppuku is Japanese for ritual suicide. I thought, What a cute name for a coat. Lexa Doig My acting's very understated. I think my sad and happy don't play that differently onscreen. Bret McKenzie They trained mostly by time periods, checking their pace for known distance only on special occasions. Joe Henderson I kn

raised through crucial stages of life by only one person. This one person, who strives to give the best, may be overwhelmed, busy, trying to raise many children. And even in homes with two parents, many children are essentially alone. Michael Gurian I hate having people sit in on meetings. Ivanka Trump I don't dream to be like mega crazy rich. will.i.am It hurts when people put you down. Timbaland Coffee gives me bad breath. Norah Jones Now more than ever we need to talk to each other, to listen to each other and understand how we see the world, and cinema is the best medium for doing this. Martin Scorsese I just want to preach so bad I can hardly stand it. I love what I do. John Piper I love marriage. I failed at marriage, but I'd rather go into anything with gusto and fail than go into it half-assed. Kirstie Alley I'm not really a tropical paradise kind of person. Matthew Fox

has fantastic handling by the way. I mean this car will crush a Porsche on the track, just crush it. So if you like fast cars, you'll love this car. And then oh, by the way, it happens to be electric and it's twice the efficiency of a Prius. Elon Musk I often buy myself presents. Sometimes I will spend $100,000 in one day in a posh boutique. Celine Dion Now that I'm a mom, I'm way more laid back. If you come into my house, don't look for a coaster. Forget it. There is not a piece of furniture in my house now that is too precious. Angela Kinsey I always, always want to make people laugh. In every situation. Even when it's inappropriate. Sharon Horgan The theory of undirected evolution is already dead, but the work of science continues. Michael Behe I don't have slim children. I have hearty ones. Jessica Capshaw When I get older, I don't think I'll like to have wrinkles, or a big jelly belly. I cannot have it. Adriana Lima I was in t

and getting less and less for it. We are angry about our incompetent, dysfunctional government that pays no attention to the desires of the people. We are angry about the cesspool of corruption and conflicts of interests and self-dealing that is Albany. Carl Paladino In theater, they say a theater piece is only as good as its transitions. Reggie Watts Do we care about these people that are HIV-positive whose lives have been ruined? Those are the people I'm the most concerned about. Every night I think about this.

Jonathan Carroll Never make a companion equal to a brother. Hesiod Without economic growth and job creation in Mexico, we won't be able to confront the migratory phenomenon. Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador As a European filmmaker, you can not make a

of Vietnam. I had been drafted into the Marines. My brother was already serving in Vietnam. I bought, if you will, a stay of execution - both literally and figuratively - and went on to graduate school of business from the law school that I was attending. Peter Guber I would never wish my upbringing on anyone... but I wouldn't take it back for the world. Mary-Kate Olsen We have to stop thinking about ourselves so much and start thinking about the environment. We have to change. Stefanie Powers The Government's mission is to build a strong and fair Australia capable of meeting the new challenges of the 21st century. Kevin Rudd There is more difference in the quality of our pleasures than in the amount. Ralph Waldo Emerson I don't feel I fit in with morning television because I'm like a vampire and I like to stay up late. Paloma Faith I felt like high school for me was like a big whirlpool of me trying to figure out what was OK for me to do. Donald Gl

They want something thrown at them they didn't expect. They want stuff that reminds them of the feelings that you get when you're watching art house movies but with the fun of like a big summer movie. That's the goal, I guess. Rian Johnson I want parents out there to know that it's totally natural for kids to make believe and play games. It does not mean your child is going to be transgendered. And even if it were true, why is it such a horrible thing? Alexis Arquette While there is a great value in things that are old, it seems that the overwhelming challenge in Britain in the late 20th century is to make every effort to see value in the contemporary and in the future. Stephen Bayley Laughter is regional: a smile extends over the whole face. Malcolm de Chazal I'm a method actor as well as a method singer. Jill Scott Young people need their own private places which mothers don't belong to, even if they want mother all around the edge of that. Daw

just impossible - you never got any Asian women in Western cinema. I grew up wanting to be in 'East-Enders' because film wasn't even a dream. The community were very much like, 'How can you want to act? It's such a low-class profession.' Archie Panjabi The thing I'm the most proud of in my personal life is that my daughter actually thinks that I'm fabulous. Brooke Shields I love the way my weight fluctuates in the newspapers. It was 18 stone and then people look at a bad picture of me and add a few more stone on. I think the highest was 22 stone. Johnny Vegas People know I work hard. Two Chainz I think it's obvious that democracy is something that is contagious, and it always has been. Steve Earle It's been studied to the point where we know that the impact on humans would be from consuming the most infected parts of the cow; that is, the brain and the spinal cord. Ann Veneman Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing

code. This is the ultimate solution, not to just say we're going to trim around the edges, not to say that we will try to simplify a little of this and a little of that. The problem is, replace the tax code, so we can establish tax fairness for everybody. Herman Cain What you want to do is, you want to get away from people being afraid to show their work, which is the first thing, because they don't want to be shot down. Dennis Muren Now at 47, 48 I am expected to do ten times better work that I did when I was 24. Salman Khan I think, once recipes become digital, pirating a digital recipe and all the questions that you have with music and so forth will become pertinent to food as well. Hod Lipson Movies have influenced all writers, not just thriller writers. Ken Follett There's a way in which these guys all think absolutely media, day and night. Access is what it's all about, so they spin 24 hours a day and that's a problem. Michael Ignatieff My

my previous background was all theater - but I wasn't sure if the opportunity would ever present itself. Not only was this acting for the screen, this was acting in 'The Hunger Games!' I knew that I had to give this audition my all. Jacqueline Emerson Trying to get the talk show, looking back on it, we had to beg a lot of station managers to pick up the show because people thought no one would watch it because I'm openly gay. Ellen DeGeneres Things will be very bad for Latin America. You only have to consider the ambitions and the doctrines of the empire, which regards this region as its backyard. Jose Saramago All emotion is involuntary when genuine. Mark Twain I am very lucky because I am realizing my childhood dreams, and after presenting my shows it's like a party. Jean Paul Gaultier Fortunately, this is not something that we see a lot of. Very rarely do you see a dog in this terrible shape from starvation. People just aren't that cruel. Jo

I really hate it when you're finished with a show and you're in your dressing room with that stink of beer and sweaty girls. It brings back an ugly picture for me. I'd hate to have to do that again. Steve Jones Not a tenth of us who are in business are doing as well as we could if we merely followed the principles that were known to our grandfathers. William Feather Words have a genealogy and it's easier to trace the evolution of a single word than the evolution of a language. Daniel Dennett I believe that Britain is becoming more class-conscious, and I quake at the very idea of Old Etonians ruling the world again. Johnny Vegas Sorry, I'm still a dialectical materialist. Fidel Castro I've never had a drink of alcohol or any drug in my life. Penn Jillette People need patience. It takes time to build a brand. Carmen Busquets It's not so important who starts the game but who finishes it. John Wooden Peace is that state in which fear of a

in not just a family but a town and a culture where sadness is something you're taught to feel shame about. You end up chronically desiring what can be a very sentimental idea of love and connection. A lot of my work has been about trying to make a space for sadness. Mike Mills I entered the cosmetics industry because I wanted more women to use cosmetics made with safe, healthful ingredients. Gloria Swanson Handsome, thin, sophisticated men often fall madly in love with larger women, we just never see it on TV. Camryn Manheim It might be pardonable to refuse to defend some men, but to defend them negligently is nothing short of criminal. Marcus Tullius Cicero My idea of an educated person is one who can converse on one subject for more than two minutes. Robert Andrews Millikan People look at me like I'm on my way out of the game. I'm just getting started. Carmelo Anthony My father made sure I was treated equally with my brothers. Joyce Banda I left Princ

of seeing, the composed picture becomes more made than taken. Without a descriptive caption to justify its existence, it will speak for itself - less descriptive, more creative; less informative, more suggestive - less prose, more poetry. Ernst Haas I'm a spa person. Massages keep me relaxed, so I always try to make time for them when I tour. Stefon Harris I'm not a religious person but I do like the idea of Sunday as a day set apart from the rest of the week. It's nice to have a period of reflection and have time to think about things. Jarvis Cocker My wife is wonderful. She's one of the people who has changed my life around... or has allowed ME to change my life around. Rob Walton At a music hall, I'll get upset if someone coughs or if someone's cellphone goes off. Joshua Bell I think it's fun running with dogs. They're always so fit and fast. Bear Grylls There's an honesty in our family - my kids and I are able to talk about thin

and grandmas and feel like they've known the characters their whole lives. It's sad for them to have to say goodbye to their favorite soaps and characters. We don't want that to happen to the 'Days' fans. Alison Sweeney Someone had told me about a house in Wandsworth, southwest London - 21 Blenkarne Road - with an incredible garden, so I went and had a look. I walked in and just said, 'I want it.' Susannah York So many times you see beautiful lovemaking scenes with a lot of exposure or an awkward lovemaking scene, but I think it's very rare that you see it private. Ang Lee In the end, people are persuaded not by what we say, but by what they understand. John C. Maxwell Whatever government is not a government of laws, is a despotism, let it be called what it may. Daniel Webster Accordingly the Northern races of Europe found their inspiration in the Bible; and the enthusiasm for it has not yet quite faded away. Lafcadio Hearn If work was

such a good friend, and if he would allow me, I'd have to get it all together, but I'd like to go on 'The Tonight Show' and do a set with no props. Or come out with a trunk and never touch it. Or come out with a clear trunk with nothing in it. Carrot Top Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. John Mayer I find it next to impossible to remain politely silent when people prate to me about the glory of being given another chance to live happily ever after! Mercedes McCambridge I've always been able to survive by writing, though. John Milius The thriller is the most popular literary genre of the 20th century. Ken Follett I really hated school and so I just wanted to stay home and watch 'I Love Lucy' and watch the movies that inspired me to the point where w

24, 48 hours ago, a week ago, two weeks ago - the prospect that was hanging out there that America would not honor its obligations for the first time in its history, and the impact that would have on our economy and the global economy. Jay Carney I'm so happy for anyone who chooses to get married! I want more people to join the club. Busy Philipps I had a lot of alone time with no brothers or sisters running around, or anything. I would just sit and imagine things, all the time. Karen Gillan The smaller the mind the greater the conceit. Aesop I decided to write short stories because they got rejected quicker. Caroline B. Cooney History not used is nothing, for all intellectual life is action, like practical life, and if you don't use the stuff well, it might as well be dead. Arnold J. Toynbee I felt really free, like I could do anything, because no one would know what to expect. Josh Homme Samurai films, like westerns, need not be familiar genre stories. Th

still remember the very first time I came to Chicago, right before 'Shiver' came out. I remember I was so struck by the feel of the city, how wide open it felt, even with these massive buildings all around me. The parks and green spaces are incredible. Maggie Stiefvater I'm half Hawaiian and the haka is a very sacred thing, something your family teaches you - my father taught me. Jason Momoa I don't go to record stores to look at my albums, but it's always a thrill to see them. Kara DioGuardi When you're writing there's a deep, deep level of concentration way below your normal self. This strange voice, these strange sentences come out of you. John Banville I was born out of classical music. Mika I feel more comfortable with my clothes off than on! Shalom Harlow I love jazz music and sad music. I'm a sentimental guy. I'm a romantic guy. Fred Durst I cannot swallow whole the view of Lincoln as the Great Emancipator. Barack Obama

up as I've gone along, which has taught me a lot. If you don't accept the obvious options that are laid out for you, it's up to you to work out where you're going and to create your own specific rules and goals. Beth Ditto Some things you know about, you know what the ingredients are - maybe not all of them. But it's up to you to put in the amount. It's up to the director to nag you until you get it right. Judi Dench We must take the time to do what needs to be done now, what is right, instead of passing a bad bill. Grace Napolitano I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I've been spending more time alone than I'd like. Lucinda Williams I believe in legacy. And I believe in making the radio sound better. If I gotta listen to it, I want it to sound good. Betty Wright My own singing voice is not very good and I don't think that anybody really sings in their own voice. Jane Horrocks In the mind, in the heart, I was always home. I alway

only a member but I give everything I can to be sure that people understand that cancer is a disease for everybody - not only in France, in Europe, in Asia, it is all over the world. We must fight together, we must make something to fight the cancer, we must Livestrong. Greg Akcelrod No more doth it hurt to say that the body and blood are not in the sacrament. William Tyndale I never eat salad. I make sure I don't put a lot of junk into my system, but I hate vegetables! Rihanna The best situation is where they cast you and then they trust you. Illeana Douglas I always go to bed thinking I'm the luckiest guy in the world. Justin Theroux They say a lot of women would like to see me naked, but there's not a lens long enough for that. Andy Garcia You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win. Zig Ziglar Love is the greatest refreshment in life. Pablo Picasso Gold medals are made out of sweat, blood and

than putting one on, and in movie acting, certainly that's true. With the camera so close, you can see right down into your soul, hopefully. So being able to do that in a way is terrifying, and in another way, truly liberating. And I like that about it. Annette Bening I grew up with brothers. I love men. Of course it's hard to be a woman in a man's world. Allison Janney I do know this: When somebody has to look great on the screen, that's the death of funny. Peter Farrelly That's where humour lives for me. In the body. The Steve Martin kind of stuff or Jim Carrey, that's what I like. I've always felt that's what I would like to do. Al Pacino The spark divine dwells in thee: let it grow. Ella Wheeler Wilcox There were so many lean years. A lot of lean years. Katherine Heigl I see the new Latin artist as a pioneer, opening up doors for others to follow. And when they don't open, we crowbar our way in. John Leguizamo It was necessar

do something that people like, obviously they're going to ask you to do it again. It's up to you to say no. If you're that insecure about working, you'll probably do what you're known to do. John Larroquette Relationships in general make people a bit nervous. It's about trust. Do I trust you enough to go there? Neil LaBute I think it is tragic that a situation should arise where civilians on any side are killed. But it is almost a cliche to say that it is virtually unavoidable and this isn't unique to us alone. Joe Slovo When you like something, you find time to do it. Yakov Smirnoff When you are part of a megachurch, you have no responsibility to anybody else. Eugene H. Peterson We need new partnerships in fighting terrorism and building peace. Anna Lindh I am not a redhead, I'm a blonde. Cynthia Nixon What in the hell would they do with the farm program without us? Dwayne Andreas Only a couple of times have I ever been to church

where you can sit and watch real actors do a real series and they can get into some kind of gun battle and all of a sudden your television prompts you to pick up your controller and all of a sudden, you're playing a first-person shooter. Zachary Levi I was raised by two women, and that laid the groundwork for the way I treat 'em: with the utmost respect and admiration. Jimmy Connors You look around baseball and when things go south, that type of fan apathy happens. Mike Quade I'd been eating fast food all my life without thinking about it. And the more I learned about the subject, the more intrigued I became. Eric Schlosser Lines are very difficult to learn. Benedict Cumberbatch A women who doesn't wear perfume has no future. Coco Chanel If I were the blushing kind, I would blush to be called a hero. Aung San Suu Kyi A musical would be fantastic. The soundtrack would be great and I'd like to do acting. Melanie Chisholm I remember being taught my

if I want to take the LSAT again, I know what I'm getting into. I'll keep it on the back-burner. Who knows, maybe with my popularity, I can have a career in politics with a law degree. I think it'll work out either way. Vinny Guadagnino Health-wise, I couldn't have said what my life expectancy would've been if I'd just carried on doing solid blocks of stand-up. Johnny Vegas I've been blessed. God's looked out for me, so, I'm happy. Sean Taylor Have you ever seen people so ugly that you have to get someone else to verify it? Jeff Foxworthy Early Islam was a time of great creativity. Scholars excelled in sciences and literature. Basmah bint Saud The second host that I had was an actress I didn't know named Susan St. James. Dick Ebersol All good, clean stories are melodrama; it's just the set of devices that determines how you show or hide it. Baz Luhrmann I don't write a great song every day. I don't write a great so

of us have had very different upbringings and backgrounds. I have a competitive nature like the character of Nathan. That's really easy to draw from when I'm acting; that's probably the biggest similarity. James Lafferty I would just sketch everything that was being made for the collections. Stephen Sprouse I was a window dresser for Burton's once. What really put me off was the area manager coming round and saying, Charles, I think you're a natch at this. Charles Dance We could never verify that there was any Iraqi authority, direction and control, complicity with al Qaeda for 9/11 or any operational act against America. Period. George Tenet I don't really believe that documentary is objective reality and fiction is all illusion. Mike Mills There's a tendency in many politicians to become inward-looking, more protectionist, more nationalistic and more defensive, in the bad sense of the word. Jose Manuel Barroso Performing was terrifying. B

It's totally different now to back in the day. Now you're paying for a record because you believe in the band. In the future that will be the only time people will pay for albums, because there's some kind of connection. Ezra Koenig My father was an American who could cuss in Italian and make an aria out of it. It was wonderful to watch. But then again, he was a Gemini. I believe in that stuff. Dominic Chianese I don't really have any interest in playing the same part again and again. Let's just keep everything crossed that doesn't happen. Gwendoline Christie Pride, avarice, and envy are in every home. Thornton Wilder I was put in remedial everything. Bill Cosby Millions of Americans are struggling to pay their mortgages. They have a right to know whether members of Congress receive sweetheart deals in order to pay for theirs. Jeb Hensarling Write your own songs. It helps you to mean what you're singing, which will then make it mean somethi

lot of people would be embarrassed to admit that they were on 'Barney', but I embrace the fact. I just had such a wonderful time doing that show... I learned what a camera and prop is, and all that. I learned my manners too, so I guess that's a good thing! Selena Gomez I think of myself as a very lazy writer, though other people see it differently. Samuel R. Delany Paris is a hard place to leave, even when it rains incessantly and one coughs continually from the dampness. Willa Cather James Garner is like a peaceful river through our chaos.

Carl Orff It's a life-changing thing to be in a position of needing help and being so lucky as to get it. Maura Tierney The way I talk is bizarre. Karl Lagerfeld What distinguished my life from my brother's is that my mothe

and towns for work. It's such a strange and fascinating country, and instead of learning about it through a textbook, I would rather discover its history and traditions and institutions through fiction and nonfiction writers. Hope Davis Maybe because I didn't have a huge film career right off the bat, I've been able to create something different, which is so important to me. That's myself, my idea of who I am. Kim Raver I guess some people want to be performers because they want to be famous. Jenny Slate Our marriage is strictly in name only. It has never been consummated. LaToya Jackson Pray for your mate. Ask God to soften your heart and show you ways to be a better spouse. Willie Aames The question of truth is forever in the air, and people look for it with particular fervor in art. Duane Michals A mother's ability to provide for her children is not always tied to income, but rather to education. Cat Cora If you aren't taking a representat

- well there's plenty of other places where you should probably look first before you start looking for it in a pop song. I guess it was just because I was really into music as a child, and I wanted it to say more. It was the thing, wasn't it? And now it isn't. Jarvis Cocker We must be able to inspire. That's my goal in acting. Portia de Rossi Now they have banging guitar and no bass and call it rock, but that's not what I call rock. Little Richard Often, if I read a story and I'm moved, I have an understanding for a character and I don't really know why. Mia Wasikowska The Lord survives the rainbow of His will. Robert Lowell I love to go on tour and perform. I love all the parts of the process. Joan Armatrading I fell in love with funk music through my father - Funkadelic - as well as soul and classical early on. Miguel I'm fascinated with films that deal with strategy because there's a right way and a wrong way to get the job don

of hip hop. Really and truly my roots are in modern and ballet but, professionally, that's not really out there any more, unfortunately, so these artists aren't really having a lot of ballet dancers behind them so I had to learn hip hop really quick. Jenna Dewan When a film is created, it is created in a language, which is not only about words, but also the way that very language encodes our perception of the world, our understanding of it. Andrzej Wajda I'm pretty normal looking. Virginie LeDoyen The big thing is to make a winning effort. I'm not obsessed with wins. Morgan Wootten I'm so trying to give up meat. Curtis Sittenfeld What producers did was mostly recording in the studio, so it never changed our sound just that much. Stephen Malkmus Certain things should be yours to have when you work your way to the top. Redd Foxx No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. Buddha People come along a

very awake while on duty, there is evidence of a phenomenon called circadian desynchronosis which causes one's brain to function slowly at those times of day when it thinks it should be asleep, regardless how wide awake the body is. Evan Davis Man, I grew up like everybody else. Middle-low income family. My parents got divorced like most of the rest of the country. Miguel I'm really shy with my acting when it's off, because the camera gives me an excuse to be in character, whereas otherwise I would just feel like an idiot. Brendan Fehr My goal is to think of nothing when I'm writing a song because too many influences could sabotage a potentially amazing song. Ricky Martin I think what Calvinism may offer us is that God's in charge of his world. George Carey People ask me from time to time what it was like growing up with Henry Fonda as my father. I say, Ever see Fort Apache? He was like Colonel Thursday. Peter Fonda I do not want to have the feelin

much of the cultural zeitgeist. It's truly amazing; it's incredible! The cover of 'Rolling Stone' is major. What's next, the cover of 'Vanity Fair?' When I'm in a 'New Yorker' cartoon, then I will feel like I have made it. Denis O'Hare The games industry is already bigger than the music industry, and it's mainly directed at teenage boys. Thomas Dolby The Japanese fans always send weird things. Tom Felton Intuition is a suspension of logic due to impatience. Rita Mae Brown But I think we need to remember that democracy everywhere is by its nature incomplete, a work in progress. Daisaku Ikeda Had I not become a professional golfer, I think I would have pursued some type of career in aviation. Arnold Palmer I'm doing a record that has a story that runs through all of the songs, and then there is also a film that goes along with it. Michael Pitt I'm just myself, so I don't know that I think of myself as a nerd

Monday night we'd have what you'd call a bed-check vote. Just to get, you know, the machinery of the Senate up and running so they can start the committee process; on Tuesday morning, things go. By Thursday, you know, jet fumes, the smell of jet fumes. Olympia Snowe Patriotism in America, as I understand it, is a matter of suffering, when the country fails to live up to its promises, or actively betrays them. Greil Marcus I've always wanted to be the biggest real estate man to come down the pike. Leona Helmsley Throughout history, it took centuries for the habits of one culture to materially affect another. Now, that which becomes popular in one country can sweep through others within months. Dee Hock As I learned from growing up, you don't mess with your grandmother. Prince William Books and harlots have their quarrels in public. Walter Benjamin I call for a collective adventure in generalized joy and freely interdependent exuberance. Bob Black Fu

It made me a better interrogator. Still, if they had taken me out of my squad car and gave me a show, I would've been terrible. But on 'Springer,' the spotlight was on Jerry and I got to grow up within the show. Steve Wilkos The image of the unions is still not in tune with where we actually are, which is fifty-fifty men and women, with an increasing number of women at the top. I think it is changing, but I'm not complacent about this. Frances O'Grady One is to ensure that the war fighters and the intelligence analysts get the information that they need when they need it, in a format that's useful to them. Stephen Cambone I've worked with Jack Warner and Jimmy Stewart - and Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, and Johnny Depp twice. I've had dinners with Fred Astaire and Cary Grant. Peter Guber I love the way Charlize Theron and Kate Moss dress. Pharrell Williams I'm really into California art from the '60s. Barry McGee I am pretty tenaci

no idea what it was like. When something goes wrong, people say, 'It's all your fault.' Your reaction is, 'It's not my fault.' But what do you mean? I was the founder, I hired everybody in the company, I was managing it. Ben Horowitz I burnt myself out of skating. I was ready to focus on being a mom. Kristi Yamaguchi We never know, believe me, when we have succeeded best. Miguel de Unamuno I always saw being in a band a full time job. Holly Johnson You want to have stability in the commercial aspect of your operation. Andy Taylor I'm not qualified for anything else, so I would imagine I'd either be doing something larcenous or I would have already been caught. Don Johnson The global economy is in pretty good shape. John W. Snow The Taliban is resilient. Leon Panetta Dearest TV media and vans outside my home, please do not stress and work so hard. Amitabh Bachchan

disclose interests regarding the advisory committee's area of work. If a declared interest is potentially significant, then the expert is either excluded from the meeting or given a restricted role. Margaret Chan You can't have it both ways. You can't tell me that you're taxed enough already, and that you want constitutional government and then in the next breath say, 'Bring me home some bacon.' The pig has been picked clean. Rand Paul Dance is for everybody. I believe that the dance came from the people and that it should always be delivered back to the people. Alvin Ailey I'm the kind of person who would have liked to have lived at the Plaza. I love crystal chandeliers and gold leaf, velvets and mirrors, Oriental rugs and marble. Candace Bushnell I sing a lot, even with my voice. Heidi Klum I try to find what makes even the worst, most despicable character sympathetic at his or her core. Len Wein I'm gonna be making records anyway, even

no idea what they would sound like if the women in my life stopped loving them. I guess I'll never know. I could claim that Duran Duran taught me everything I know about women, but that's not exactly accurate: I learned it from listening to girls talk about Duran Duran. Rob Sheffield I think every woman in our culture is a feminist. They may refuse to articulate it, but if you were to take any woman back 40 years and say, 'Is this a world you want to live in?' They would say, 'No.' Helen Mirren Beauty can come in strange forms. James Dyson Also, I realized a lot of kids are listening to me. Whether I want to be or not, they're looking up to me. Donald Glover I tend to go for women with common sense. Being down to earth stands out more than looks. Seann William Scott I'm always trying to find optimistic ways to express myself. Michael Franti I've always enjoyed Acting. Acting is acting. Tony Randall I have come to accept the real

be more careful where we decide to commit US forces, and for what reason, and to make a clear judgment as to what we can and can't do and whether it's in our interests, or we could afford the resources that it would take to make the situation right. Anthony Zinni First, I identify an analogous problem in nature and borrow from it. Philip Emeagwali I played a definite part in it. I guess the things that I played in films and the way the nudity and the love scenes were handled were really different. Bo Derek I hate flying. Know why? Because no one really understands how planes actually work. Adam Levine Well, I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I haven't been a rogue most of my life. Jack Nicholson No movie has ever been able to provide a catharsis for the Holocaust, and I suspect none will ever be able to provide one for 9/11. Such subjects overwhelm art. Roger Ebert We no longer have a free market in the United States, we have a government cont

the sport can know that if they are working hard and training hard, they'll see a true reflection of where they stand and what they can achieve worldwide and not be swayed by people who are cheating. Paula Radcliffe I don't think a female running a house is a problem, a broken family. It's perceived as one because of the notion that a head is a man. Toni Morrison I think it's very difficult, and it requires a tremendous amount of spiritual integrity and discipline, to not be a narcissist in a culture that encourages it every step of the way. Alan Ball Wherever there is a human being, I see God-given rights inherent in that being, whatever may be the sex or complexion. William Lloyd Garrison I don't think you ever know in yourself whether you have gone mad. Chris Lowe Do I have a long-term plan? Kind of. I have a general direction, I think. But it's funny what comes down the pike. Jeff Bridges And then, of course, there's a couple that claim

that authoritarian countries like China are more efficient. That is very short-sighted. China looks efficient only because it can sacrifice most people's rights. This is not something the west should be happy about. Ai Weiwei MTV didn't call. I guess I wasn't hip and groovy enough. Dan Fogelberg Some people believe that fairness comes with obeying the rules. I'm one of those people. Al Green I think I'm pretty down to earth. Lindsay Davenport The vast majority of prisoners at Abu Ghraib, even after interrogation, had no further intel value whatsoever. Janis Karpinski Israel is no longer a people that dwells alone, and has to join the global journey toward peace, reconciliation and international cooperation. Yitzhak Rabin I think that comedy is one of the more serious things that you can do in our day, especially in the world that we're living in. Antonio Banderas I grew up in Lambeth, I went to normal schools and I've grown up in a city wher

'Justin's list of things to do before he kicks the bucket.' I wrote it for myself and shortened it to 'Justin's Bucket List.' It was there on the wall, not as a story idea but as a motivational tool for myself, which actually ended up working pretty well. Justin Zackham I figured somebody wrote a story who had a typewriter and I thought that movies were made by the cowboys and that they just said, 'Okay, you fall off the horse this time.' John Sayles Mama tried to save us from the streets, but the streets were too strong. Barry White There is incredible potential for digital technology in and beyond the classroom, but it is vital to rethink how learning is organised if we are to reap the rewards. Geoff Mulgan As an actress, there were so many months, years even, when I didn't get work, when I wanted to quit. Mariska Hargitay I would like it to be a legal requirement for all businesses to be linked to a charity. Arabella Weir We made

have to do what's right for you. Everyone has an opinion, but it was all about what you do or don't do. I was so overloaded, so I let my children dictate the way things were supposed to go, and things fell into place. Tori Spelling I'm kind of a failure. I mean, I'll be honest. I'm successful in that I'm getting to work on great stuff, but I think I'm a failure in all the personal stuff that is most important to me. Paul Feig I'm a movie guy - I can get lost in anything. Chaske Spencer I'm like every other girl. I have to try really hard my whole life to try to be fit. And I'm super-vain. Gwen Stefani I won't be making any friends in the corporate suites. Carl Hiaasen Ballroom dancing is like being on Mars compared to what I've done throughout my life. Joey McIntyre It's still in my heart. I can do it. Leon Spinks People try to make a Greek tragedy of my life, and they can't do it. I'm too happy. Curt Floo

and I couldn't buy happiness. I had everything: mansions, yachts, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, but I was depressed. I didn't know where I fitted in. But then I found family and friends and I learned the value of life. Vanilla Ice We were disliked by the press in the early days because they couldn't put their finger on us, and that was the case with Zeppelin as well. Freddie Mercury I, therefore, O Caesar, do not publish this work, merely prefixing my name to a treatise which of right belongs to others, nor think of acquiring reputation by finding fault with the works of any one. Vitruvius My dad always told me that the best way to get somebody to get at you is to talk bad about them to somebody else. T-Pain It was ability that mattered, not disability, which is a word I'm not crazy about using. Marlee Matlin The worst thing to happen at the Oscars would be if nothing happened. You want something unscripted, something to riff on, something kinda out there. Seth

the fact that politicians get into office and they - and they're fearful, they're fearful to make tough decisions because they think more about the next election than they do about the next-generation. Scott Walker This is the heart of my argument: We can put more pressure on the antagonist for whom we show human concern. Barbara Deming It wasn't like it is now. But for the types of teams we had, the fans were very good here. On some Thursday afternoon games, we'd get 25,000 fans. That was remarkable. This has always been a great Red Sox city. Curt Gowdy I think Bush has capitulated on affirmative action and government spending. Apart from that, he's OK, I guess. About the same as Howard Dean. Peter Brimelow It's incredibly hard out there for women of color. Regina King I'm very English, and we don't talk about emotions publicly. Marcus Mumford Climate change is crap. Tony Abbott The first precept was never to accept a thing as true

but now I'm bringing it back into my life. I trained from the ages of 11 to 17. When I moved to New York and got into serious acting, I just kind of abandoned the whole singing thing. But when I grew up in Pennsylvania I went to voice lessons once a week. Amanda Seyfried An instructor once told me that when there's resistence in your body, it's only because of the resistence in your mind. It's about getting inside the pose. Being the breath. Lisa Bonet I know that people think I'm sexy and I am looked at as that. It is cool with me. It's wonderful to have sexy appeal. If you embrace it, it can be a very beautiful thing. Aaliyah Blank paper has always inspired me. Daniel Handler Most of my books have caused distribution and printing problems in the past. Peter Sotos I love to have Heinz Salad Cream on all my food! Pixie Lott I find myself going out on the road to get my confidence back, because I lose it at home. Lionel Richie Nixon's att

in the opposite lane and seeing bumper-to-bumper traffic, people fleeing that scene. Or going to a toxic spill and seeing people go the other way. You talk yourself into thinking you're invincible in order to do that. Lester Holt I was never really a model. That somehow is in my bio. The whole thing is I was tall since I was a child - you're either a model or you play basketball. Jules Asner The caricature of what George Osborne is doing on the fiscal side is absurd. If you read some of the commentary, particularly from the left, you would think he was turning the clock back to the 1930s. Nick Clegg I could live anywhere in the world I want. But Los Angeles is the place to live. Eli Broad I know what it feels like to have the door slammed firmly in my face, so I'm cool with that. Mos Def I think it now comes down to whether you have the skills or not. Jordan Knight As for the company, I did all I could from the very outset of this affair to remove Yukos an

behavior, but has acquired new meaning. It refers to women who are in charge, for example, by flirting and dating on their own terms. It is also used maliciously for a loud-mouthed, controlling woman who has no patience with deviating opinions. Frans de Waal A miser grows rich by seeming poor; an extravagant man grows poor by seeming rich. William Shenstone Every outbreak across the globe today stems from a descendant of the medieval plague. Hendrik Poinar I accept sceptics, you've got to have challenges. Dan Aykroyd We write about ourselves because we know about ourselves. Layne Staley I've had a very good career and I'm grateful that the public has had some level of acceptance and appreciation of my work. Ben Stiller The first step is clearly defining what it is you're after, because without knowing that, you'll never get it. Halle Berry I take my craft very seriously. Jimmy Chamberlin Civilization as it is known today could not have evolv

a new machine as bicyclish, I can say that I'm vitamining myself to stave off a cold, I can complain that someone is the smilingest person I've ever seen, and I can decide, out of the blue, that 'fetch' is now the word I want to use to mean 'cool.' Erin McKean I have always abhorred the business end of music. Mark Edwards I prefer to write first drafts as soon as possible after waking, so that the oneiric inscape is still present to me. Will Self More people should apologize, and more people should accept apologies when sincerely made. Greg LeMond When you're old, you are more certain of who you are, and that may be a good thing or a bad thing. Sally Field It is a great mistake, as we have already remarked, to be afraid of Him and to act in His presence like a timid and craven slave trembling with fright before his master. Alphonsus Liguori Now I call myself a bleeding heart libertarian. Because I do believe in the principles of Libertarian

the United States and China, for example, but also within Europe. We have taken a few steps toward taming the financial markets, but we haven't come nearly far enough to rule out a repetition of the crisis. Peer Steinbruck The art world has become the R&D department for so much fashion and music, so knock-offs are getting better and better. Marco Brambilla I'm just taking one step at a time. I could zigzag one way, but it's not usually on purpose. Beck Leave no stone unturned. Euripides Give metal a chance! James Durbin I was so keen to get back to sea. I was rattled. Lord Mountbatten I certainly think that 10 to 20 years from now, clearly the majority of veterinarians will be women. Richard Adams The film 'Tapped' illustrates quite clearly how we've been getting 'soaked' for years by the bottled water industry. Ed Begley, Jr. My mother had a rule, obviously, that I couldn't go across the street by myself, but I had to find

people who are completely insane about their dogs? Hordes. But cat people may as well have whiskers and tails themselves. That's because their pets' lack of social need taps straight into our worst fears as the human inhabitants of New York. Sloane Crosley I was assistant in Edmonton with Wayne as captain, and Kevin Lowe was the other assistant. Mark Messier I want to establish myself as the first Eric Davis, not the next Willie Mays. Eric Davis The only reason I'm able to do music is because I'm making money on 'Community.' If I wasn't, I couldn't pay for things. Donald Glover Ultimately the Emmys are a popularity contest. William Devane I've always hated litigation, and I continue to hate it. Tim Cook What defines a relationship is the work that's involved to maintain it, and it's constantly changing. Neil Patrick Harris I'm from the dirty depths of New Jersey. Ezra Miller Without faith, nothing is possible. With

Beeman. I went on a science jag in the same way. I kept getting in arguments about evolution and being bested. So I read Charles Darwin's 'On the Origin of the Species,' a fantastic book that is not that difficult. Denis O'Hare New Orleans is like a big musical gumbo. The sound I have is from being in the city my whole life. Trombone Shorty That feeling of freedom, open highways of possibilities, has kind of been lost to materialism and marketing. Sheryl Crow President Obama orders religious organizations to violate their conscience. I will defend religious liberty and overturn regulations that trample on our first freedom. Mitt Romney I'm not a master of films, I'm rather a slave. Ang Lee I've worked with an awful lot of people. Katy Hepburn, Spencer Tracy. Vincente Minnelli Children, even infants, are capable of sympathy. But only after adolescence are we capable of compassion. Louise J. Kaplan Surfing isn't really in my blood. It

Kali, the Hindu goddess of destruction, is depicted as wreathed in male human skulls; the cruel entertainments of the Romans drew audiences as female as they were male; Boudicca led her British troops bloodily into battle. Naomi Wolf I'm not a wushu champion. I was an athlete when I was a kid. I was a swimmer and a runner, but all this action stuff is such a challenge. It really, really is. Maggie Q I like the opportunity to play characters who have these dark sides but make the audience empathize with them. You want them to think there is some kind of sweeter, softer side to it. Julian McMahon We're getting so pulled in by computers and technology, and our kids have their face in the computers all day. The human relationship is being diminished by this. Lenny Kravitz I think a performer should do his work and then shut up. Richard Widmark When I listen to Radio 1 and hear five different tracks in a row using old disco samples, well that's plagiarism, that

coherent and useful. The why is what transforms bureaucrats and foot soldiers and political leaders into viable instruments of rational and affirmative change. The why is everything and without it, the very suggestion of human progress becomes a cosmic joke. David Simon I would love to work with Jack White or Kanye West. Fefe Dobson Family is conflict and it's something that we all relate to. Bill Cosby I would say that I'm pretty mainstream. Ron Paul I have a knife collection. Taylor Momsen The mind when it has an old experience will add that data into its current experience, and it keeps coming up with wrong answers. L. Ron Hubbard We are actually living in a million parallel realities every single minute. Marina Abramovic I go to screenings, then plays, then after-parties, then clubs. Michael Musto TV is sort of the only way to go for an actress my age to make a decent salary; with independent films, you just can't. Jessica Lange

for an actor to go moment to moment like she does, there's no one better. And she dances between moments. Each take is different because she's riding instincts, she's riding impulses. And she trusts that. Jeff Daniels I'm addicted. I'm addicted to golf. Tiger Woods I've always found it easier to be funny than to be serious. Molly Ivins I think it's always important to be vigilant of what you're doing and aware of your surroundings. Leona Lewis The stalwart soul has the will to live and is eager for the race. Taylor Caldwell Finding your style is like putting puzzle pieces together. Lara Spencer In my career I have never felt that my being a woman was an obstacle or an advantage. I guess I've been oblivious. Carole King I'm happy to be at home with the kids, in my flannel pajamas; that's a treat. Patsy Kensit I didn't do the typical things that young kids do. Balthazar Getty

that draws a lot of people to climb mountains. That can also apply to a lot of other challenges in life, whether it's running for office, starting a family, going to grad school or taking all of your cash and assets and starting a business. Mark Udall A company is not accountable just to its owners, but to its workers and its customers. Ed Miliband Hugh Grant does a great job with his style. Somehow understated yet timeless and seems to get it. He does it on and off camera. David Lauren Forgiveness is about empowering yourself, rather than empowering your past. T. D. Jakes I couldn't change who I am; I couldn't change the kind of player I am. Tiffeny Milbrett You feel completely in control when you hear a wave of laughter coming back at you that you have caused. Gilda Radner Life is a full-contact sport, and there's a score up on the board. Phil McGraw Technological society has succeeded in multiplying the opportunities for pleasure, but it has great

radio came to us and asked if they could have 'Cost of Livin' as a single. There was even talk behind closed doors about pulling 'Bleed Red' because they had caught wind and heard 'Cost of Livin'.' We went with that. Ronnie Dunn I learned something from that. If someone asks me something that I really don't want to do, I say no. I have to trust that. And I'm not afraid to talk money. Diana Ross I was gladly cuffed, shackled, loaded into the caged bus and driven through the main gate of Bare Hill Correctional Facility for what I pray to God will be forever. Jack Carroll I would like to, especially in film, play against type and do some heavier stuff. I'm intrigued by projects that deal with problematic people and things. Aaron Tveit The public is always good. Franz Liszt I have not killed anyone. They will not let me. Dashiell Hammett My theory was that what I had to do was make a study of human behavior. A. E. van Vogt Leadersh

friend, Luke Eberl, is the filmmaker. He shot this movie and asked a bunch of his friends to be involved with it. I just saw him the other day and there is no money to finish the film. But, you know, I literally have a cameo in it. Olivia Thirlby As an actor you have to have a strong vivid imagination as you're working and when the camera's rolling, but there's certainly a part of you that is aware of real life, that you're making a movie. John Hawkes Let me just say: Peace to you, if you're willing to fight for it. Fred Hampton Anything that's not positive, I don't have the energy to focus on it. Anything that's not going in the right direction, I don't have the time or the energy. DMX I play a recurring role for a character named Doctor Imo. I assist the villain and show up from time to time. Keir Dullea The novel moves like all the arts. It's transforming itself all the time. Nathalie Sarraute But the Republic has its rules a

with a TV movie that translates literature is to get the audience, after seeing this version, to pick up the book and read it themselves. My attitude is that TV can never really be any form of art, because it serves audience expectations. Michael Haneke I cleaned toilets and shined shoes. Rick Santorum Saturdays and Sundays, America in the year 2009 does not in some ways differ significantly from the country that existed almost 50 years ago. This is truly sad. Eric Holder If you spend enough time in or around Washington, you'll meet amazing people who work for the government. Judy Woodruff I would not plan to base my campaign primarily on opposition to the war in the Persian Gulf. George McGovern It was really tough to race the GS a day after the downhill, but that's over now. I'm looking forward for the rest of the season which is also quite interesting. Hermann Maier I have to be myself. Daniel Craig It doesn't matter if a critic pans or praises my

a 2D animator. I've done cutout animation. I did a CG short a few years ago, 'Moongirl,' for young kids. Stop-motion is what I keep coming back to, because it has a primal nature. It can never be perfect. Henry Selick The world is still sexist. Barbara Broccoli Your feelings so are important to write down, to capture, and to remember because today you're heartbroken, but tomorrow you'll be in love again. Taylor Swift When it comes to casting, I've been so lucky. I've worked with unbelievable actors who make me look better than I am and take the written word and make it honest. Jason Reitman A gift, with a kind countenance, is a double present. Thomas Fuller A public option is essential to creating the cost-savings necessary to offset the cost of providing all Americans access to affordable health care. Diana DeGette I can't explain 9/11, except the evil of man. Billy Graham I'm finishing my Ph.D. in Italian Renaissance history. P

Mess With the Zohan,' about an Israeli Special Forces soldier at a hair salon, manages to strike better contrasts with vaguely similar culture differences - it's a nuttier movie, too. Wesley Morris I'm a firm believer and I think my religion is inside. Billy Eckstine I go short and sweet on the engagement. I did have a longish engagement, but I think short and sweet is best. Leelee Sobieski There are pastors who won't go to people's sick beds. How can people of God turn their back on the sick, poor and hungry? James Harvey Robinson I'm a night owl. Alanna Ubach If I could live a parallel life, I would be a sitcom star; being in front of a live audience would be great. Scott Wolf My dog's a gentleman. Todd Phillips I grew up in a house with dogs. We always had dogs. We always had a bunch of dogs, actually. Lee Pace When I was in high school, there was no safe haven, there was no outlet for you to speak your mind. Matt Bomer

It's not like we're infested with them on a continual basis. But you learn to live with the warnings. And you learn what to do if one is coming your way. And then you cross your fingers and make the best judgments you can. Mick Cornett I think people should be proud of the work they do, whatever it is. I have this other arty side that loves creating homes. I can be happy going to the hardware store. Aida Turturro I don't understand why people don't understand that the world of TV should look like the world outside of TV. Shonda Rhimes We do not need to be shoemakers to know if our shoes fit, and just as little have we any need to be professionals to acquire knowledge of matters of universal interest. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel Give me something interesting to play and I'm happy. Morgan Freeman The infinite faith I have in people's ability to understand anything that makes sense has always been justified, finally, by their behavior. Alice Walker

of 'soul force' - something that emanates from a deep truth inside of us and empowers us to act. Once you identify your inner genius, you will be able to take action, whether it's writing a check or digging a well. Sue Monk Kidd In your twenties, if you have any amount of complexity in your childhood, or any trauma that you haven't dealt with, it comes out. That's why you have a lot of artists that don't make it through. Jeremy Sisto Being an actress isn't as fun as it may seem. If I don't love something, I stop doing it. I don't love acting anymore, so I've stopped doing it. Amanda Bynes Writing a teen character is something I wanted to try again for a long time! Emily Giffin We never stop reading, although every book comes to an end, just as we never stop living, although death is certain. Roberto Bolano I'm a strong believer in bipartisanship. Mack McLarty I like to dress up but I'm not so concerned with looking very

I've always loved her films, loved her. It was amazing working with someone who was American as well, because obviously it's going to be a different energy straightaway. We got on really well; she's so professional and hardworking. Kaya Scodelario For the purposes of the play, it was perfect to be able to use that and the stresses and strains that there were. At the end of the play, the mother realizes the terrible things she had done. Fay Wray It's always better to deliver the news yourself rather than allow your boss to be surprised. Mary Cheney Teachers are unparalleled in the role they play in children's lives. Jon Porter I haven't forgotten where I came from. John Salazar I think I enjoy playing human beings no matter the substance of their character. Ezra Miller I've lived the American dream. Cathy McMorris Rodgers The narration, in fact, doubles the drama with a commentary without which no mise en scene would be possible. Jacques

good sci-fi film, especially one that can really take you away. And I read some reality-bending novels growing up, like stuff by Vonngeut, so I already had one part my brain open to the unnatural and unusual, and it's generally fun to venture into that world and film in it. Olivia Thirlby They place great stress on the clarity of our language for expressing nuances and showing subtleties. Bernard Pivot I have these guilty pleasures, these failed films that don't work at all, but I'll watch them if they're on. Like 'The Game.' Shane Black I found it to be more challenging to be in a huge effects movie, because a lot of the things aren't there. You have to trust the director and react to nothing. Katie Holmes Having a child is the best thing that could happen. Pink The relationship with a live audience seems to me to count for more. Cyril Cusack People are very harsh critics of animated humans. Henry Selick I'm so horny the crack of dawn

for our children. They will develop the next technologies, medical cures, and global industries, while mitigating their unintended effects, or they will fail to do these things and consign us all to oblivion. Sam Harris Where story comes from, I don't know. I know that I become obsessed with something. An idea, an image, a person, the way a person talks. And then something starts happening that I can't explain, and it has a lot to do with language. Dorothy Allison Silence is only frightening to people who are compulsively verbalizing. William S. Burroughs If I hear the word 'perky' again, I'll puke. Katie Couric Well, I can't figure out God. Oral Roberts I'm not one to get involved with what anyone says about me. Zayn Malik The pressure began to mount as I kept winning every time and people were anxious to see if I could be beaten. Jahangir Khan I've been lucky. Opportunities don't often come along. So, when they do, you have to gr
