Kong, I fought for the government as an air raid warden for 15 days. Our government surrendered, Hong Kong Government surrendered, so I took a junk and came to Macau in 16 hours and I was a refugee, so that's why I was so much indebted to Macau. Stanley Ho In the Bhagavad Gita, there is no long discussion, nothing elaborate. The main reason for this is that everything stated in the Gita is meant to be tested in the life of every man; it is intended to be verified in practice. Vinoba Bhave The Cannes film festival is about big-budget films but also remarkable films made in different political regimes by film-makers with little resources.

Rita Wilson Warren Beatty took an interest in my career at one point. Courtney Love I don't want a tombstone. You could carve on it &

there already with the organization I work with now, Artists for Peace and Justice, visiting the primary school that I had adopted, the Academy for Peace and Justice in Port-au-Prince. I came back, and within days, the earthquake happened. Olivia Wilde It's hard to get into Newsweek because, as more of our former intellectual magazines take on a pop focus, if there's no buzz, there's no interest. Branford Marsalis I blend my green drink every morning. I also fix my son a full-on American breakfast with bacon and toast. Liz Phair It's much easier to write when you're sad. But you can end up isolated and depressed because you almost need to put yourself in that situation to have that angst to write from. Natalie Imbruglia The men that is now is only all palaver and what they can get out of you. James Joyce The knowledge I have now is not the knowledge I had then. Stokely Carmichael When I very first started out, I had that arrogance of youth. Joely

animal problems that we do. I'm a big spay-and-neuter supporter. Don't have babies if you're not going to take care of those babies. We don't need more. We just need to take care of the ones we have. Take responsibility and breathe kindness. Betty White It's really cool now that we have Twitter and Facebook, and it's cool that people can post their thoughts and stories and just constantly on their timelines. Dustin Lynch No one is above the game or the rules that govern it. Respect for the game and the people who participate in it will not be compromised. Roger Goodell 'Downton Abbey' is one of my favourite shows ever - it's just beautifully filmed, and the stories and characters are so wonderful. Amanda Donohoe So Liam and movies are obviously big passions, and I read and write. Faye Dunaway Like art, revolutions come from combining what exists into what has never existed before. Gloria Steinem I want to do my hard dives really wel

Israel was 50 years ago and you see Israel now, one of the most successful countries in the world, stable, democratic, with an enormously stable economy despite everything that has happened in the global economy in the last few years, how can I not be an optimist? Ehud Olmert I do endless chopping and preparing things. I really find that relaxing. I do a lot of thinking as I am chopping and cooking. Kate Winslet I don't question God. Victoria Osteen I have always written about characters who fall somewhere in the spectrum between solitary and totally alienated. Nicole Krauss A woman knows a skirt-chaser. Alveda King Up until the time I was 31 years old, in Spain, I still didn't know how I was going to pay the rent. Antonio Banderas The challenge of a cathedral is very good for architectural inventiveness. Oscar Niemeyer Some people feel that what we're doing makes no sense, that it's just a waste of money. But it's working. Calvin Klein I nee

and anything else where you're actually meant to not be reading, my family would frisk me and take the book away. If they didn't find it by this point in the procedure, I would be sitting over in that corner completely unnoticed just reading my book. Neil Gaiman You can't legislate sobriety. Robert Zemeckis When we first began, we didn't have any hits. Diana Ross I have the mentality of a winner. I first went to the Olympic Games when I was 17, three weeks after my O-levels, and I remember sitting in a dining-hall filled with the world's best athletes. Daley Thompson A lot of a movie is locations, frankly. David Schwimmer I think that every state in the union should recognize same-sex marriage. Cass Sunstein My sister started acting professionally when she was twelve, but I wanted to go to college first. Rooney Mara I plan on doing as much in my life as I possibly can. Shirley Manson Someone's just told me the English are still trying to

and problems and obviously it's a tough economy. We support an oversight committee, we supported some of the compensation, new compensation rules, though we already follow most of them. We support a lot of it. Jamie Dimon I don't play full court anymore. I just play half-court. John Ashcroft As recent as the year 2000 we won elections by saying we shouldn't be the policemen of the world, and that we should not be nation building. And its time we got those values back into this country. Ron Paul The message has to be sent that if you commit a crime there has to be punishment. Benigno Aquino III I didn't write songs for a very long time. Martin Gore It was all recorded and mixed and there's more continuity in it more direction. Dave Edmunds Law describes the way things would work if men were angels. Christopher Dawson The danger that may really threaten (crime fiction) is that soon there will be more writers than readers. Jacques Barzun When I

their values, and to form meaningful relationships with them. They must become architects of community, consistently demonstrating the values that their customer community expects in exchange for their loyalty and purchases. Simon Mainwaring All writing is an act of self-exploration. Even a grocery list says something about you; how much more does a novel say? Steven Saylor I like underwater pole vaulting, because you can have perfect form without the risk. Katie Hoff When it all boils down, it's about embracing each others' stories and maybe even finding that synergy to collaborate for the common good. Dhani Jones Making money from money is like aerobatics. Alisher Usmanov Great leaders have a heart for people. They take time for people. They view people as the bottom line, not as a tool to get to the bottom line. Pat Williams It's a war of attrition. If you have patience and a modicum of faith in yourself your chances are not too bad. Julie Bowen The

to her ability to speak many languages including, as he puts it, the language of flattery and essentially, to be able to turn people to her will - really a great political genius, in that respect. Stacy Schiff In some of the L.A. clubs, people can act too cool to get into your music. That can get to be a bit much. Chad Smith There's no time for boys in my life right now. Karlie Kloss In externals we advance with lightening express speed, in modes of thought and sympathy we lumber on in stage-coach fashion. Frances E. Willard The strongest principle of growth lies in the human choice. George Eliot I don't need to work. Christopher Lambert I don't use the phrase 'I love you' very often, but I say it every time I talk to my children. George Hamilton There's never been a particular band that I've followed religiously. But I do tend to listen to sadder music. Freddie Highmore When enough people care about autism or diabetes or global warmi

kinds of crazy things. They used to put me in these annual piano contests down at Long Beach City College, and two years in a row, I won first prize - out of like 5,000 kids! The judges were like, 'Very interesting interpretation!' I thought I was playing it right. Eddie Van Halen Men's minds must be free, and that means the minds of all, not the minds of a select few. Mary Barnett Gilson According to my wife, my use of vocabulary is wide and varied. Christopher Monckton You don't want to be the first person to tell your 5-year-old, like, 'You're going to have a life filled with disappointments and letdowns - enjoy!' Maya Rudolph I have always seen cold and controlled men as the right ones for me. Elisabetta Canalis The series of photographic operations, developing, washing, final drying, takes about quarter of an hour. Gabriel Lippmann I think the Church is a conduit to God. The Church is not God. And I think that from the very beginning J

the wrong piece of music over a scene, people aren't going to get the scene. If you have the wrong camera angle, people aren't going to pay attention. That's as much a part of the process as getting people to talk to you. Josh Fox 'Alien' is one of my all-time favorite horror films - that has a great monster. Jackie Earle Haley I wanted to be a fashion designer. Heidi Klum The real change that paintings undergo is in the perceptions of the viewer. Arthur Smith People have always had these weird things about how you have to be really good looking to be a singer. Kathleen Hanna I'm simply trying to tell the truth about human behaviour as I see it. Sarah Kane You know, I've read Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness' about fifteen times. James Balog I like drums, really, if they're under control. Earl Scruggs I love football and beer and have a normal girlfriend. Josh Duhamel

of 'daddied' me through the whole thing. My knees were knocking. I walked out there, and I was literally shaking. They say it's the spirits or the ghosts. And out of respect for that whole establishment, I was really really nervous. Randy Houser My hair and my accent are sort of my main assets. Xavier Samuel I've had plenty of good times and have settled peacefully into quite a boring existence that I love. I had enough fireworks and chaos. It is a blissful boring life, believe me. Dax Shepard I like a man who smells good. Puts on cologne; lotions his body. It keeps me wanting. I like feeling that way. Jill Scott But I found that disappointing people is a good thing, because disapproval is freedom. Demetri Martin Socrates' fame spread all over Greece, and the most respected and educated men from all around came to him, in order to enjoy his friendly company and instruction. Moses Mendelssohn I suffer from a genetic flaw, which is that my mother was

depression reigns supreme amongst the rich and famous is some of them thought that maybe those things would bring them happiness. But what, in fact, does is having a cause, having a passion. And that's really what gives life's true meaning. Ben Carson You see some of these actors, they have a permanent smile on their face. How can they do that? It really fascinates me. Agnes Bruckner There is curiously little art concerning the efficacy of reason - perhaps simply because reason is not noticeably efficacious. Nicholas Mosley If you don't learn from your mistakes, then they become regrets. John Cena Captain Kirk has been a source of pleasure and income for a long time. William Shatner If you engage people honestly, and you're willing to do the leg work, people will respond to that. Matt Gonzalez We're taught to be ashamed of confusion, anger, fear and sadness, and to me they're of equal value to happiness, excitement and inspiration. Alanis Mori

you know, people don't think that that's in my wheelhouse because I've sort of played a lot of dramatic stuff and that's certainly a side of myself that I want at some point in the right context, in the right stuff, that I find really funny. Matthew Fox I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican-I'm an American, I'm a human. Chely Wright I became a vegetarian out of compassion for animals and to live as healthy as possible. I realized soon after that I was truly concerned with nonviolent consumption and my own health, a vegan diet was the best decision. Davey Havok My main dream - and I'm trying to get 'Living TV' to do it - is to go into prison and interview serial killers, rapists, murderers, psychopaths. Katie Price Food in Chicago is the best. Lee DeWyze I'm confident President Obama will continue his unambiguous commitment to the Jewish state in his second term. Ed Koch I called the album 'The Chemo' because i

because there are benefits to being wealthy. I'm just happy with a ball at my feet. My motivation comes from playing the game I love. If I wasn't paid to be a professional footballer I would willingly play for nothing. Lionel Messi 'Know your enemy, name your enemy' is a 9/11 message that has gone unheeded. Our immigration and homeland security policies refuse to profile jihadi adherents at foreign consular offices and at our borders. Michelle Malkin I am not so different in my history of abandonment from anyone else after all. We have all been split away from the earth, each other, ourselves. Susan Griffin I respect very much my public and also the music I perform. Andrea Bocelli I'm also doing constant book readings, movies. You name it, I'm doing it. Lynn Redgrave Music is a thing that changes people's lives. It has the capacity to make young people's lives better. Noel Gallagher It's awfully easy to be in love in jail. Dashiell

definitely is up to the person, and it is difficult, it can be very difficult, and it can be extremely healing.' That's what I have found, that the children are mirrors. Everyone is a mirror, but children especially because they're day and night and all day long. Melissa Etheridge God is the last link of the chain, but He is the first also. Joseph Barber Lightfoot I have no great message to the world. Orson Welles With young people, there's often that carelessness, allowing yourself to get into danger - recklessness, I suppose. Emily Browning Poetry is the hardest thing that there is. It fascinates me, so I want to write more of it. Steve Earle When you massage someone, the levels of oxytocin go up in the brain, and oxytocin is one of the chemicals that drives attachment. Helen Fisher You know I think I could give a little more back to charity. Rod Stewart Love is a kind of warfare. Ovid Brutal men with unlimited power are the same all over the w

are. It's much easier to base opinions and debates off of fact and your true heart on things. To me that just comes quite naturally, and it's also about being open to what the debate is about and hearing the other side. Elisabeth Hasselbeck God is not troubled by one who is conservative or liberal, and He certainly never inclines His ear toward a donkey or an elephant. Max Lucado There was no one around me who didn't work hard. Ed Bradley Comedy historians take note: this Gottfried character doesn't have the best eye for detail - and, for a Jew, he doesn't have the best eye for retail, either. Gilbert Gottfried 'All My Children' taught me a great work ethic; you work so hard on a soap opera! Eva LaRue The 1960s were about releasing ourselves from conventional society and freeing ourselves. Yoko Ono I can always see something of myself in the characters I play. Mark Wahlberg I'm a very romantic person. Esai Morales Now, I was the S

really excited to talk about it since I had never really played music to that extent. It was never meant as something I would consider as anything more than having fun with my friends. But I think I would enjoy writing music for the movies that I'm working on. Anton Yelchin New York is like the weirdest city in the United States, in a great way, and Los Angeles is probably more similar to most of America. Ellie Kemper I'd like to cause a little riot in skating. Sasha Cohen I got into singing when I was 6. Danielle de Niese I see music as fluid architecture. Joni Mitchell I think women should have insight as to how men think. Just like men should have insight into how women think. Michael Ealy You can't expect to take a definitive image in half an hour. It takes days, often years. Fay Godwin Everybody who is an actor has been acting since they were three. Mia Wasikowska It feels so great to be back on the scene. Brandy Norwood

religion must deal with the real challenges and the thinkers of the day in order to sharpen the conscience and the intelligence of those who study the timeless sacred texts in a spirit of responding to the questions of their time. Tariq Ramadan On Belle de Jour, the producer was very protective. It was very hard for me. Catherine Deneuve I always tell people that my life is in pencil; I have to keep an eraser in my hand because I could always get a call that could change everything. Linda Gray The 'Western' is the only genre whose origins are almost identical with those of the cinema itself. Andre Bazin It really is about the heart of a woman that makes her beautiful. Jessica Simpson I saw him... at peace in my armchair. I remember wishing he could stay in peace like that forever. I had a feeling of easing his burden with my strength. Dennis Nilsen I'm sorry, I don't talk to the press. Even though I think you're cute. Chelsea Clinton Imagination

and the presidency, a situation encountered in eight of the past 10 years. With government unified under a single party, the minority has the least possible incentive to cooperate with the majority. John Sununu I'd read so much right-wing crime fiction where they find the evidence and shoot the bad guy - I thought there must be another approach. Denise Mina The army is the true nobility of our country. Napoleon Bonaparte Sometimes I feel my whole life has been one big rejection. Marilyn Monroe I joke with my kids, who love history, that I'll be the only governor to be elected twice in his first term. Scott Walker My first dunk was actually in sixth grade. Vince Carter I'm gonna have to develop myself. I'm just going to do the best that I can do. Mike Epps Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a lifestyle. Billie Joe Armstrong The gatekeepers must change. Prince

a musician, since I was an early teen, gave me an advantage - understanding them from their point of view, because it's about them, it's not about you - it's their vision and what they're capable of achieving, and you're the conduit. Tommy Mottola My mother, who was quite sharp when I was young, became utterly mild. Antonia Fraser Writing the songs and producing the songs and arranging them and recording them is your canvas and your palette and your brush. Scott Weiland I've worked with so few female directors. Andrea Riseborough I love commuting between languages just like I love commuting between cultures and cities. Elif Safak The Pentagon Papers case stands today as a barrier to silence by official edict. Anthony Lewis Martyrs do not underrate the body, they allow it to be elevated on the cross. In this they are at one with their antagonists. Franz Kafka I think it's really hard being in a boy band. There's a lot of dynamics. Le

and Sofie are standing there in the room and I'm dressed to kill in my own mind. They'll say to me, 'Dad, you're not going out there looking like that are you?' If that doesn't kill a star, I don't know what does! Lionel Richie I will not go on a blind date. Jordana Brewster Interesting things come your way but as you get older, your lifestyle changes. I don't want to travel; I don't want to be in a hotel room away from my family. Gary Oldman I know it starts at home, but all families are not staying together. Zach Wamp As there is oppression of the majority such oppression will be fought with increasing hatred. Bram Fischer I do struggle with how much and in which way, as an artist or celebrity, that you voice your political views. Kevin Bacon It's time Congress got its priorities straight. Mitch McConnell A man will go to war, fight and die for his country. But he won't get a bikini wax. Rita Rudner I want to sell ou

a lot of technology that just makes us all faster and better, and I'm generally a big fan of this. I just want to make sure that this technology stays subservient to people. People are the number one entity there is on this planet. Sebastian Thrun I enjoy trying to develop a car and Mercedes are one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world. Lewis Hamilton I actually think Facebook made it their business to be close with all of the app developers. They couldn't have done more. Max Levchin A powerful performance will transform everyone in the room. Marina Abramovic My fam is just a regular family. But all of them have great senses of humor. Dane Cook I like to know where the camera is. Jeff Bridges And my generation in Brazil was influenced by Cinema Novo. So we're echoing what's been done way in the past. Walter Salles Sports fans have been mistreated for a long time. They have overpaid for inferior food and they have had poor service. Dave Che

can't act, you can't do theatre and be respected if you've done a TV soap, you can't have a No. 1 record. All these different things they've told me I can't do, but I wanted to do them, so I've done them. Martine McCutcheon No one wants to know I set my alarm and get up 8, but I think it's too weird to sleep in too late. David Spade Pay-TV companies that built their businesses on the backs of local and network broadcast signals should pay a fair price for access to that high-value programming. Gordon Smith I'm a huge Paul Thomas Anderson fan. Mary Elizabeth Winstead No one is more sensitive to the issue of overeating than the creator of Stuart Smalley. Al Franken You destroy the initiative of the working people if they don't feel they have a fighting chance to be a part of the American Dream. James Sinegal Oh, I love stand-up. Louis C. K. My guitar was loud as hell, and I had no sympathy for anybody else. Brownie McGhee We

first missile-defense computer, which was, like, one of the first computers in the history of the world which got sold to the Department of Defense for, I don't know, tens and tens of millions of dollars at the time. Marc Andreessen I try to talk about policy issues intelligently, I try very hard to avoid thought bubbles. I make sure my speeches are well researched and footnoted. I make sure I am not talking through my hat. Malcolm Turnbull A drunkard is one thing, and a temperate man is quite another. Arthur Keith As everyone in Louisiana knows, there was often no communication or coordination between the state and federal government in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Bobby Jindal I did the 'Tonight Show' once, and I choked up. I get intimidated. John Candy I am amazed at the facility with which some men follow in the wake of slavery. Benjamin F. Wade My parents were very indiscrete. Maurice Sendak I love my job so much, and not everyone

at the Australian Open is huge. It can set them up for a couple of months which at that level you really do need that kind of help. It sounds like a lot of money, but when you're travelling the world trying to make it as a tennis player, it doesn't last long. Samantha Stosur Good lies need a leavening of truth to make them palatable. William McIlvanney So many people counted on me to be the party, I had to move far enough away that they wouldn't want to drive there. Sam Kinison They don't bother too much with the balance and things on blues records. Maurice Gibb I got me a hit record and I ain't never made a cent from it. Patsy Cline I'm spectacularly disorganised. I wrote my latest book in seven different notebooks scattered throughout my house. Sue Townsend The South resented giving the Afro-American his freedom, the ballot box and the Civil Rights Law. Ida B. Wells I just want the world to know that God is present, that he's alive for

to the point of being Utopian. In this way, the U.S. can provide and express ideals that strike a chord in humans everywhere - a declaration of independence on behalf of all the peoples of the world. Maurice Saatchi There is no proportional representation requirement in the Equal Protection Clause. Cass Sunstein Then, all of a sudden, here I am in the Press Room in the White House and walking in with the guards, who handed me three little pieces of paper asking me to send pictures to the guards at the White House. Majel Barrett I had piano lessons at five and started guitar at ten, but although music and acting was always around me, my parents never pressured me into it. Micky Dolenz For shameful deeds are taught by shameful deeds. Sophocles I see what you mean, but I do not think what you think. Mason Cooley Good habits formed at youth make all the difference. Aristotle I always go to the Cannes Film Festival and it's just such a glamorous time. Georgina Chap

which I find really peculiar in America. And then when you tell them, they're not interested, because it's also a country where everybody's opinion is their opinion, and they really don't give a damn what you think. So it's a very odd experience. Zadie Smith I come from Bridgeport, Connecticut and have friends I grew up with there. John Ratzenberger I'm very happy to have a small, long, career instead of one big hit and then oblivion. Susannah McCorkle Singing becomes a form of therapy. Placido Domingo I don't know if I should care for a man who made life easy; I should want someone who made it interesting. Edith Wharton The white audiences thought I was white, my features being what they are, and at every performance I'd have to take off my gloves to prove I was a spade. Ethel Waters I was in love with my wife and she was in love with me. We got along wonderfully. Sam Sheppard Being upbeat is the key to life. David Frost Well, I

stylish, and that's not the case. Someone can go into T.J. Maxx or Ross, pick out some clothes and own it. As long as you have that eye for creativity and know how to put it together, it's so much more interesting. Dhani Jones Religious representations are collective representations which express collective realities. Emile Durkheim People over 30 are interested in sex too, but they get real movies about it. Linda Fiorentino I literally paid my way through the University of Texas with my umpiring. Jim Evans Britain is a very small country with a very large press. David Hockney The Right insists that anyone can escape poverty by working hard but that is simply not the case. Henry Louis Gates Maybe the universe is a giant practical joke and we don't know the punchline. John Lloyd To simply wake up every morning a better person than when I went to bed. Sidney Poitier Imperialism is not the creation of any one or any one group of states. Karl Liebknecht

it went onto books, meditation CDs, and I just recently bought these electronic cigarettes. My husband is trying to quit smoking, so I went online and I bought those BluCigs cigarettes in every flavor for him. Fergie Today's younger generation is no worse than my own. We were just as ignorant and repulsive as they are, but nobody listened to us. Al Capp We want to enjoy our families and the hype leading up to the game. Tony Dungy I like writing about friends. Julie Garwood I support stem cell research, including embryonic stem cell research. Bob Ehrlich The modes of expression of men of genius differ as much as their souls, and it is impossible to say that in some among them, drawing and color are better or worse than in others. Auguste Rodin I know there will be X amount of women being diagnosed. I love to say, You can get through it. You can. Kylie Minogue Books are a finer world within the world. Alexander Smith Being an artist is a very long game. It is

thanks largely to the Korean War. Today, however, he is thought to have been a solidly good president, a 'Near Great' even, in the terminology of those surveys of historians they do every now and then. Thomas Frank Nobody wants to be against technology, but I think that regulators should not - and people should not - assume that faster is always better in markets. Bart Chilton Yeah, I'd been around horses most of my life. Jeff Bridges I didn't go to prom - I DJ'd all my proms. Swizz Beatz There are no rules when it comes to love. Taylor Swift Family is this very deep, complex thing that for most people becomes everything. It informs your entire life. Ezra Miller I believe when it comes to love, there's something intangible about who we are attracted to, and I don't think I have a pattern. Taylor Swift In most horror films, you don't really get to understand why this character is the way he is. Barry Watson Few learn golf in a life

marriage to these young girls. They can no longer promote marriage as a way of avoiding poverty and bad choices that they make in their life. They can no longer even teach abstinence education. They have to be neutral with respect to how people behave. Rick Santorum Men and women of high professional standing have been reduced to the status of vagrants. Elmer Rice The chief difference between words and deeds is that words are always intended for men for their approbation, but deeds can be done only for God. Leo Tolstoy I'm having a good time. Managing my things takes a lot of time. Gabriela Sabatini If you haven't got anything nice to say about anybody, come sit next to me. Alice Roosevelt Longworth I prefer film to TV because of the amount of time film affords you that TV doesn't (though theater is probably my favorite and the scariest place of all). Don Cheadle Some people don't realize that I've had a career pre-commercials. Carrot Top We try

an outsider, I am mystified by the fact that you are encouraged to buy a gun, but if you use it for the purpose that it is expressly designed for, you get the death penalty. That aspect of America is kind of mystifying. Nick Cave Force is not a remedy. John Bright My dreams are of water. And my nightmares. Siouxsie Sioux You can tell the nature of the man by the words he chooses. Edwin Louis Cole 'The Simpsons' is still my favorite show. I have a really strong connection to it. Ben Schwartz Well I don't think sex and violence have ever stopped a movie from being mainstream. David Cronenberg I can't put into words what I think about anything. Lilly Pulitzer Discipline and unconditional support is earned by understanding and trust and inclusion. Not by isolation, not by nasty tricks. Colm Keaveney We don't have a lot of Reagan-type leaders in our party. Remember Ronald Reagan Democrats? I want a Republican that can attract Democrats. Lindsey G

the planet as far as vocaling and her songs. So I'm very happy that I can sit here and say I had a chance to know her. And I'm still dazed that she's gone. But she lives because her music is so powerful. Narada Michael Walden My father had very little formal education. Daniel Berrigan We all have different desires and needs, but if we don't discover what we want from ourselves and what we stand for, we will live passively and unfulfilled. Bill Watterson Some people are born skinny, and that's just the way it is. You can't point a finger at them and say they're ill or anorexic. It isn't fair to people born that way. Heidi Klum You can do a lot to shape the feeling of a song by the way you record it. Conor Oberst But here's the thing: what you do as a screenwriter is you sell your copyright. As a novelist, as a poet, as a playwright, you maintain your copyright. Beth Henley The man whom God wills to slay in the struggle of life - he f

Washington, D.C. I've come to know a lot of people that - sexual orientation is such where they're in love with people from the same sex, and I just don't think it's our role in the government to say, 'No you can't be married.' Jon Tester I got into acting because my teachers kept nudging me into it. The power a teacher has to influence someone is so great. I can't think of a profession I have more respect for. Jon Hamm Thank God I've never had the sort of intense fame that means you can't walk up the road. That sort of blazing stardom must be difficult to cope with and maintain; my career has just bubbled along happily. Jane Asher Teachers are our greatest public servants; they spend their lives educating our young people and shaping our Nation for tomorrow. Solomon Ortiz In this time the enemy began to undermine our fort, which was situated sixty yards from Kentucky River. Daniel Boone I'm addicted to tattoos. I can't sto

are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don't function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick. Brene Brown Why not collect and clean chicken wishbones in the run-up to Christmas, spray them silver and use each to pinch together a white hem-stitch napkin? Pippa Middleton What I really am is a homebody. I was a homebody even before I had a family. My days are filled with home stuff. Ray Liotta The public made me and then encouraged me for many years, and my future even now depends upon it. Placido Domingo My dad's my best mate, and he always will be. Cher Lloyd You just try to play tough and focus point for point. Sounds so boring, but it's the right thing to do out there. Rafael Nadal Pride is essentially competitive in nature. We pit our will against God's. Ezra Taft Benson The reason I like writing a me

to proven best practices, and adapts to your personal health circumstances. The time will come when, whatever illness you may have, for your body type and health history, there will 'be an app for that' to keep you on your best path to wellness. Sheldon Whitehouse Whenever I'm being invited to the New York City Marathon like today, I need to think twice because I know it's a very tough race. Martin Lel A question I get asked a lot is 'What is it like to play the straight guy all the time?' And I'm totally okay with it. Rashida Jones Obama had the audacity to say, 'I have unequivocally prohibited the use of torture by the United States.' Ladies and gentlemen, torture in the United States has always been illegal. Rush Limbaugh The dream is to keep surprising yourself, never mind the audience. Tom Hiddleston But the guitar, when you think about it, is the most versatile, really. I mean you can pick it up and take it with you wherever you

company with an 800 number can move its services to the Web for peanuts by comparison. The extreme case of corporate promotion is to strip away all other aspects of your business and sell goods or services via the Net alone, as amazon.com has done with books. Nathan Myhrvold Lyricists play with words. Paul McCartney I've done no harm to no one. In fact, I think I've improved the world. John Lydon Towards the end of the eighteenth century the industrial-financial revolution began. Ralph Adams Cram I can tell how I'm doing, and I can tell if the crowd is particularly dead. Robyn Hitchcock My father used to wear the same pants for like a week. Adam Sandler I'm not insecure, but I'm not like, 'Hi, I'm confident.' Nicole Richie It's what a fellow thinks he knows that hurts him. Kin Hubbard If you're going to grow the economy, if people are going to have more income, you have to have stability in the marketplace. Jason Chaffetz

families, it is about our country, and frankly, ladies and gentlemen, it is about the world. We've got to leave here and march, and make sure Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are president and vice president of the United States. John Kasich My favorite place in the world is my dad's house in Montauk. Dylan Lauren Achievements on the golf course are not what matters, decency and honesty are what matter. Tiger Woods I love all Helmut Lang. I love Alexander Wang and Alice+Olivia. Addison Timlin I just wish I could understand my father. Michael Jackson I am terrible at memorizing things. Hence, ad-libbing. Michael Weatherly If I'm not comfortable, I'm not happy. When I go to the White House, I wear my jeans. Bobbi Brown Once we know our weaknesses they cease to do us any harm. Georg C. Lichtenberg I enjoy adapting my own work, or anybody's work. I like to adapt books. Joseph Wambaugh

a lot. I feel better when I eat that way, and I think there's been a lot of proof that's come up over the last however many years, that you can't deny, I don't think, that meat or dairy aren't all that good for us. Hayley Williams Three Royal Air Force aeroplanes have come over to us so far with their arms and equipment. John Amery Whirlyball is only the most awesome sport on the planet! It's like bumper cars plus lacrosse meets basketball. St. Vincent When we came out with 'Lazy Sunday,' the greatest compliment I heard was that Questlove had it on his iPod. Jorma Taccone I lead a very boring, normal life. Stockard Channing I was a controversial figure on my reservation when I was a kid. I was mouthy and opinionated and arrogant. Nothing has changed. Sherman Alexie People create jobs, not the government. Scott Walker It took me a while to accept that I'm not going to have the curves other girls get. Shenae Grimes The problem I

who was lucky enough to be born into a family that encouraged creativity and didn't call me lazy or nuts when I dressed up in my mother's peignoirs and played the piano, having painted a small sign decorated in glitter that read 'The Piano Fairy Girl.' Rebecca Wells Usually, you don't really end up lifelong buddies with your co-stars. Lea Thompson I don't enter, I'm entered. It's up to someone else. It's up to them. Albert Finney I am genuinely not an over-the-top kind of person about politics or anything else. Charles Kennedy It is impossible to live without love. You must have the feeling of being loved. Mireille Mathieu The death of Garang has unfortunately unleashed emotions of anger; some genuine, others cultivated by elements who wanted to pit one group of Sudanese against another. Salva Kiir Mayardit You marvel at the economy and this choice of words. How many ways can you describe the sky and the moon? After Sylvia Plath, wh

find poets sitting in rows in cavernous word factories, staring at screens. They are rather to be found lolling on the sofa or strolling through the groves, nursing their melancholic temperaments and losing themselves in extended reveries. Tom Hodgkinson The great men of power who seek to change the nations they belong to usually are pretty terrible people. John Keegan I make a vegan baked ziti. And even though that doesn't sound enjoyable, it really is. Lea Michele I don't like to think that maybe I'm just getting old. I'm not too excited about watching a huge explosion. I'm more interested in people and characters. Norman Jewison I started in 1957 when I sold my first story to a magazine. Jean Giraud In our fathers' time nothing was read but books of feigned chivalry, wherein a man by reading should be led to none other end, but only to manslaughter and bawdry. Roger Ascham I was born on the day Lincoln was shot and the Titanic sank. Pete Ro

into this business almost by accident, but now it has become serious. What started as a bit of fun, something to do other than be a model, has taken on a different career curve. I have been forced to ask where that curve is going to end up. Cameron Diaz Identity politics are wearisome; you don't want to go on speaking for any one group as a writer. Emma Donoghue I am open to everything. Luciano Pavarotti My mum came from nothing and didn't have many opportunities in her youth, and she blames a lot of her social inadequacies on that. Paloma Faith At some point in your life, if you're lucky, you get to design the way in which things evolve. Daniel Day-Lewis All politicians should have 3 hats - one to throw into the ring, one to talk through, and one to pull rabbits out of if elected. Carl Sandburg Nothing would be more profitable to us than a right history of mankind. Adam Weishaupt We cannot be both the world's leading champion of peace and the world

luxe-y overtones but altogether more affordable, all want to grow. Even brands that may have started in a modestly niche design and lifestyle fashion can find themselves under pressure to go global or to sell out at the top. Peter York I will not be a common man. I will stir the smooth sands of monotony. Peter O'Toole If you start out trying to achieve a specific thing - like doing stadium shows or going into the studio and doing an album - the end result is what counts. George Strait Now I'm confused. Now I don't know what I want. Chris Kirkpatrick Everyone's values are defined by what they will tolerate when it is done to others. William Greider The mortality of all inanimate things is terrible to me, but that of books most of all. William Dean Howells Cop families have guns in their houses. Amy Carlson I still favor alternatives to governmental race-based preferences. Marvin Olasky A free public broadcast license is a privilege. Bart Gordon

that will solve global inequality. Multiple contributing factors must be tackled in parallel. Yes, education alone is unlikely to lead to employment without economic reform to address the demand side in much of the developing world. Adam Braun I was always such a people-watcher. I would sit on street corners alone and watch people and make up stories about them in my head. Then, all of a sudden, I was the one being watched. Alanis Morissette I want, of course, peace, grace, and beauty. How do you do that? You work for it. Studs Terkel Failure is an enigma. You worry about it, and it teaches you something. James Dyson I'm one of those people that just likes to be comfortable. Ludacris The thing I miss the most about Scotland is the football. Robert Carlyle When I moved to L.A. in 1989, the very first thing I did was this horrific pilot called To Protect And Surf. Thomas Haden Church Not only am I putting music out there, I'm giving part of myself away. Kina

accompanies the slaughter of billions of animals each year literally infects us all. We could consume healthy plant-based food produced at almost infinitely less cost. What does that say, really, about us and what we're doing... to animals and to ourselves? James Cromwell If the Church is a living body united to the same head, governed by the same laws, and pervaded by the same Spirit, it is impossible that one part should be independent of all the rest. Charles Hodge Love them for who they are, and what they are they are; they are not you. Good stuff, isn't it? You have to live 73 years to get that. Doris Roberts Education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living. John Dewey I think people are learning to actually aspire to be objectified. Christina Ricci Sometimes I'm really dressed up, and it really turns me on. Isaac Mizrahi An epigram is but a feeble thing - With straw in tail, stuck there by way of sting. William Co

'A Helluva High Note' deals with my back story, that I was a songwriter, that I spent years trying to hone my craft and being rejected and then finally becoming a successful songwriter, record executive and publisher. Kara DioGuardi I try to be a better dad and husband than I do pretend rock star. Bo Bice So I think it's fair to say it's even more of a challenge for some of these actors that are coming up, because there's such a pressure to look good, to be sexy and be palatable to people on whatever level. Anthony Michael Hall I just love playing good guys. Clive Owen I think that casting is probably the most important thing in television production. Dan Harmon I do suffer from depression, I suppose. Which isn't that unusual. You know, a lot of people do. Amy Winehouse Makeup artists are always giving me their stuff. My favorite thing is free stuff. I'll take anything. Cindy Margolis I have now spent over a year trying to figure where i

God, you're single, what's going on?' - that if I don't like to spend time with myself, how can I ask someone else to enjoy spending time with me? I'm getting to learn how to enjoy my solitude and have a good time. Gabrielle Union No, you're not allowed to be bossy when you're married. You have to learn compromise, and compassion and patience. Star Jones Behind closed doors, I'm a crafty person. Raven-Symone I was thinking about that, about what lines you'd be willing to cross if someone took your loved one or child. Rick Yune I never thought I would get to have my own action figure. Ray Stevenson Romanists tell us that the Pope is the vicar of Christ; that he is his successor as the universal head and ruler of the Church on earth. If this is so, he must be a Christ. Charles Hodge You can't look at people being crucified. Even if you know it is just pretend. Penelope Wilton Genius is the capacity for productive reaction again

and then get mental pictures of what these sounds felt like to you. It engaged you and made you more invested in it. It made you want to get tickets to the show, buy the album, put the poster on the wall. Now it's sensory overload. Q-Tip I'm not going to take any special interest money or any PAC money... when I get to Washington I want to be the voice for the people of Connecticut and not owe special favors. Linda McMahon Every song I write, including 'Too Close,' always starts on the guitar. Alex Clare Some people are academically inclined, some vocationally and we shouldn't penalise the latter. James Dyson This film, Tomb Raider 2, is a big challenge. It's quite exhausting. Jan de Bont For my own singing, I used to be attracted by the baroque, the flashier the better, but now I prefer a simpler, purer style. Renee Fleming Going to prison is like dying with your eyes open. Bernard Kerik Beauty at 70 years old isn't the same as beauty a

was developed from the grassroots up. Congressional Democrats from across the country spent months meeting with people back home, asking them what issues were important to them, and what Congress could do to make their lives a little easier. Dick Gephardt You've got to write for your audience. John Ratzenberger That artists are called to be more responsible and 'true' is a tip of hat to their power. Anna Deavere Smith The only time I commit to conspiracy theories is when something way retarded happens. Like Lee Harvey Oswald acting alone. Joe Rogan After about 15 minutes, you feel that you're winning them over. Chita Rivera Who names themselves 'The Situation?' I do not take myself seriously like that - not in the least bit - that would be so pretentious. Isaiah Mustafa My point has always been that, ever since the Industrial Revolution, science fiction has been the most important genre there is. Iain Banks Everything that has existed, linge

our friendship. I thought she was my best friend, and then, in high school, she turned on me and had sordid affairs with all of the people that I'd dated. It was less hurtful because I was in high school, so it was more like, 'What's wrong with you? Gross!' Mae Whitman It gradually dawned upon me that there was no one more difficult to please than my mother. Georg Brandes I actually find novels that are determined to be funny at every turn quite oppressive. Ian Mcewan Technology is us. There is no separation. It's a pure expression of human creative will. It doesn't exist anywhere else in the universe. I'm rather sure of that. David Cronenberg There are many examples in high schools which show something about the effects such competition might have. James S. Coleman To me, a forever love is a bond that can't be broken. Nick Cannon When a man leaves you notes saying he loves you, or asks how your day was - and then listens - you feel spe

in Georgia who has lost her job and is trying to figure out how her local bank can change the terms on her credit card, and I heard from a physicist at a major research university who wants to explain a better theory of financial stress tests. Elizabeth Warren It is time for a New Direction for our nation's energy policies. Lois Capps When things don't go well, it helps to think of yourself as a genius and the rest of the world as a bunch of idiots. Tom Perrotta Right from the very beginning, I knew I wanted to write palpably Scottish fiction. Ian Rankin I don't even really like rap music. Angel Haze If you stand up for women, then don't bash me. Olivia Munn My parents are aging and there are difficult issues. It's strange to have children at the beginning of life and parents nearing the end. Amy Waldman It's incredibly exciting to know people are using and living with the things I create. Greg Lynn You will not be satisfied unless you ar

say against women, profanity, being gangster, having multiple children with multiple men and women and not wanting to is prevalent. When you look at the majority of shows on television they placate that kind of behavior. Bill Cosby I am an Armani and a Dolce & Gabbana kind of a person. Patricia Cornwell If I wasn't so insecure about myself I wouldn't work as hard as I do. I am constantly seeking approval. Jonathan Rhys Meyers I didn't want to be the typical teen idol. I didn't want to be Leif Garrett. I didn't want to be Shaun Cassidy, David Cassidy or Parker Stevenson. I wanted to do my own thing. Willie Aames I'm trying not to put myself into anything I'm not 100 percent confident about. Christian Slater The press always ends up being much nicer than I expect. A lot of times they say something snarky about you, but then you meet them in person and they couldn't be nicer. Josh Schwartz Falling in love with God is the most important

gay and my dad knew he was gay and so I was, like, 'Why in the heck did you get married?' Like, what was going on? What was that time? It's like this crazy paradox that my whole life is based on, or my family's based on. So I spent a lot of time trying to understand '55. Mike Mills When you retire you want to get as far away as possible from the game for a couple of years. Pete Sampras I knew I could never match my father as a violinist, and there were already four generations of outstanding cellists in the family. Leonard Slatkin When I came up, it was all about originality and collective research. There is an awful lot of imitation going on now. Steve Lacy All the nice things about Suzanne are me. All the things that aren't nice, that was just the writing. Delta Burke Imperialism or globalization - I don't have to care what it's called to hate it. Bill Ayers I had reconciled myself to being happily out to pasture, a bit. Elizabeth Mc

experience you learn how to pack the right way. I remember one of my first trips abroad, travelling around Europe by rail, fresh out of high school. I brought all these books with me and a paint set. I really had too much stuff, so I've learnt to be more economical. Roman Coppola I will be ruthless in cutting out waste, streamlining structures and improving efficiency. Theresa May I stupidly ignored education completely. I found it dull and I preferred to cause chaos and have fun. I regret this massively now. Dominic Cooper Our mothers' generation fought so hard to change things and we're the first generation to benefit. And now you get girls in their twenties who say they're not feminists. Kristin Davis In Bengal, Hindus are known to crack jokes at the expense of their gods and goddesses and that's what I did. Sunil Gangopadhyay In Italy, there are so many significant architectural structures in history such as the Pantheon in Rome, or the Duomo. Ta

was universally regarded as the very last of the twentieth century's major architectural masters, an astonishing survivor whose most famous accomplishment, Brasilia, was the climactic episode of utopian High Modern urbanism. Martin Filler The worst enemy of human hope is not brute facts, but men of brains who will not face them. Max Eastman A stronger focus on quality public policymaking and less distraction of personalities would be a sufficient and important contribution I can make. Jay Weatherill I don't have any particular goals in making a recording. In a way the recording is itself the goal. The music comes into my mind, and from there the main job is to give form to it. Mahavishnu John McLaughlin I think the Justice Department needs to be the final protector of the people of the United States of America. Sheila Jackson Lee The ability of a television series to make adjustments is something you've got to take advantage of. J. J. Abrams I couldn't

people are struggling and they are in their teens. Some people are in their 50s and they're struggling. Some people go through life and die not being able to accept themselves. Tragic. But it's very individual. And it's about self-esteem. Ricky Martin I maybe missed money in my childhood, but I didn't miss love, that's for sure. My dad wasn't there, but I can tell you not even once did I think I was missing something. Olga Kurylenko I was always interested in social change but never actually did anything about it. Ben Rattray For too long, we financed our schools in a way that has systematically left large segments of our population behind. Ruben Hinojosa The best fashion show is definitely on the street. Always has been, and always will be. Bill Cunningham We all have restlessness in long-term relationships. Helen Fisher I am a child but I have to think and act like a woman, this business forces you to. Rihanna The disco sound, you must see

so given over to the rich that you now have to be rich to live here. Or not live here: New York's also a preferred destination for foreign money spent on vast, lifeless apartments in the sky that are occupied a couple of weeks a year at most. Graydon Carter You can keep yourself alive. That's the magic of being an actor. Sonia Braga I had very strong feelings, so the chance to make a film that deals in an imaginative way with stuff you care tremendously about is a real high. It's a really amazing thing to be able to do. Jonathan Demme As a kid, I played a lot of one-on-none. Julius Erving It takes many years to be a great comedian. Don Rickles So, for instance, if you came to me, I'd ask, 'Do you want to write? Do you want to improvise? Why do you want to play this instrument? What do you want to do?' Ornette Coleman My dad taught me true words you have to use in every relationship. Yes, baby. Star Jones Obviously I'm not a role model fo

person - I just think I suffered a depression to do with snooker, and I just couldn't handle it. I could go out and play, but take me out of there and I couldn't do life. It was a nightmare, my life just felt like a bit of a nightmare. Ronnie O'Sullivan A lot of punk rock is not going to be in the mainstream. It's below the radar. The beauty of it is that you're not supposed to always know. It's subterranean. Billie Joe Armstrong I hate the whole concept of comfort! It's like when people say: 'Well we're not really in love but we're in a comfortable relationship.' You're abandoning a lot of ideas when you're too into comfort. Christian Louboutin I'm more comfortable knowing that, chances are, I'm going to fail at this. I've become comfortable with that. Ian Thorpe I've been so blessed to work with the people I have. Leighton Meester Once I started performing I knew that's what I wanted to do with my

fabric of life that covers our planet. Even to a person of faith, in fact especially to a person of faith, an understanding of the evolutionary process should only deepen their appreciation of the scope and wisdom of the creator's work. Kenneth R. Miller Wasim and Waqar were amazing bowlers. I would put them right up there with the best in the world. Sachin Tendulkar My daughters, your daughters, our daughters deserve safety, protection, and the freedom to make their own choices about their personal lives and their physical selves. Carre Otis I have always had good strength in my legs from working out with weights. I have also been riding a bike of some sort for most of my life and have good agility. Mark-Paul Gosselaar I never have time to myself; it's the one thing about my life I would probably hope to change. Juliet Stevenson It's people's worst fantasy to see their partner kissing someone else, even though it's a job and it's not real. Hayle

ours: that Americans are still a people born to liberty. That they retain the capacity for self-government. That, addressed as free-born, autonomous men and women of God-given dignity, they will rise yet again to drive back a mortal enemy. Mitch Daniels I try to avoid typecasting by doing different roles. Michael Clarke Duncan And then you have the classical ballerinas, they're like sopranos. Applied to the dance. Ninette de Valois We cannot build up the idea of the apostolate of the laity without the foundation of the liturgy. Dorothy Day People who are isolated interest me, whether they isolate themselves or have been isolated by circumstances. Charles Frazier I'm not broke. Like everybody else, I owe money. Marlee Matlin Middle-class people are becoming desperate. It can cause a moral man to break bad. Giancarlo Esposito Every art expression is rooted fundamentally in the personality and temperament of the artist. Hans Hofmann I consider myself a ramp

bathrobe, with bodypaint all over my face, and going through McDonald's drive-thru. I ordered a coffee to make sure I didn't crash on the way home. And the girl working there, she didn't even bat an eyelid. I guess it's a regular thing down in Hastings McDonald's. Gotye My immediate family is real close-knit. Kenan Thompson We all have the temptation to be backseat drivers when it comes to decisions that don't work out the way we want. Don Mattingly Just as young people absorb all kinds of messages from the media, young girls learn what it means to be a woman by watching the older women in their lives. Carre Otis Family always gonna be there. Lil' Romeo Prior to September 11, we thought the world beyond our shores was one world of risk and the world in our continent was another world of risk. John Ashcroft I have stolen the show many times. Leigh Lezark Be advised that all flatterers live at the expense of those who listen to them. Jean

one of my concerns has been the limits on applications of our understanding of the genome. Should there be limits? I think there should. I think the public has expressed their concern about ways this information might be misused. Francis Collins The Jesuits had learned that a Christian mission to China could never succeed if it were not in a position to show and convince the Chinese intelligentsia of the superiority of the European culture. Hu Shih I was a big Nancy Drew reader. Nancy figures it out. Case closed. Sarah Vowell I have always loved Las Vegas. It's a traditional place for lounge comics to perform, and I love that. Norm MacDonald I try to do yoga once a week. Alessandra Ambrosio It defies all common sense to send that roughneck ward politician back to the White House. Robert Taft The world is a stage, the stage is a world of entertainment. Howard Dietz Non-technical questions sometimes don't have an answer at all. Linus Torvalds Honest, I lis

country in the world. By most measurements, it was long a contender for that honor, and - among the larger countries, if equal weight were given to wealth and indices of freedom - probably did deserve to be so described. Conrad Black I think it is a mistake to identify a movie according to its language, as if movies were literature. Jean-Jacques Annaud My country has been very good to me; I must be good to my country. Walter Annenberg Music is escapism, it's entertainment. Andy Taylor Nowadays it seems to me nobody takes trouble about anything, especially writing songs. Marian McPartland I don't like long tours. I find it much easier to go out for a short spurt every month. Bryan Adams Laboratories can reduce risk by implementing a proven and internationally accepted quality assurance technology that is applicable across the globe. Richard Curtis There is this stereotype of Icelanders all believing in spirits, and I've played up to that a bit in intervi

to do with individualism. Every person here is the center of his or her own story. And our job as people and as characters is to find our own motivations and desires, to overcome conflicts and obstacles toward defining ourselves so that we grow and change. Adam Johnson I keep wondering how to explain the experience of child abuse from the inside. I'm going to try to explain what my world was like when I was sexually abused. The thing you have to remember is that this was the thinking of a child. Robin Quivers I have been on TV quite a few times as a poker player. Jerry Buss The most accomplished way of using books is to serve them as some people do lords; learn their titles and then brag of their acquaintance. Laurence Sterne You know, if you need 100 rounds to kill a deer, maybe hunting isn't your sport. Elayne Boosler 'Groundhog Day' was one of the greatest comedies ever made. Dan Aykroyd Memories are like mulligatawny soup in a cheap restaurant. It

I sang a song called, 'Jesus, I Heard You Had a Big House' and I remember people standing up at the end and me thinking, 'Oh, I think I'm going to like this.' That's how it all began. Sounds funny to say you got your start in church, but I did. Kristin Chenoweth The human being is not the lord of beings, but the shepherd of Being. Martin Heidegger There's a hunger and a fervor that I have, but there's no person I'm going to push to the side to get where I'm going. I want to create my own road. Drew Barrymore Mom worked with autistic children. Isabel Lucas The only really conscious decision I made was to cast my net wide and if the work was good, to do it. Laura Linney Cities may now bulldoze private citizens' homes, farms and small businesses to make way for shopping malls or other developments. Bob Goodlatte Being unconscious is the ultimate disability. Jessa Gamble Music is the strongest form of magic. Marilyn Manson

gay people, men, women, it's all based on fear. We all have fears, this thing that stops us from embracing as we are one. We are never going to be one. People are messed up, but humor lets us see how ignorant we can be. Marlon Wayans The Indian knew how to live without wants, to suffer without complaint, and to die singing. Alexis de Tocqueville Courage is the essential element in any great public man or woman. Paul Johnson An English man does not travel to see English men. Laurence Sterne Surely every band wants to be a pivotal point in history. Alex Kapranos A press card does not provide you with an invisible shield. You're flesh and blood. Jessica Savitch With two small children, I haven't had a wash since 2001 so the chance to go shopping is way down the list. It is something I do intend to get. Jo Brand I made the character as much of myself as I could. Gil Gerard I don't think there's enough breadth to the stories told about African-Ame

of Woody Guthrie and Phil Ochs, early Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Pete Seeger - could be as heavy as anything that comes through a Marshall stack. The combination of three chords and the right lyrical couplet can be as heavy as anything in the Metallica catalogue. Tom Morello Jews have always thought that having someone elevated with his head above the grass was not good for the Jews. I never felt that way. I believe that you have to stand up. Ed Koch There is no dispute that judges need a pay raise. Robert Duncan I've lived most of my life in Manhattan, but as close as Brooklyn is to Manhattan, there are people who live there who have been to Manhattan maybe once or twice. Ellen Burstyn I kind of left everyone behind in Australia - all my friends and my family and I had to break up with my boyfriend. Margot Robbie A story is how we construct our experiences. Doris Lessing To have your childhood dream realized is a really big deal. Maya Rudolph My life has been a w

that was when we are spending about eight percent of our gross domestic product on health care. And even then, we had the impression that so much of the excessive, aggressive medical treatment that took place at the end of life was not only unnecessary but it was cruel. Richard Dooling I am afraid of death, scared by it. I already don't know whether I exist or not. So dying really terrifies me. Stephen Rea The mistake that was made was, of course, leaving Saddam in charge of affairs over there. John Dingell Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it. Bill Cosby All of the full moons for the entire year are special in that they have particular names. Neil deGrasse Tyson When times are bad, people like to lose themselves in the sheer glamour of another period: beautiful wardrobes, magnificent meals served in elegant settings. Shirley MacLaine Alas! they had been friends in youth; but whispering tongues can poison truth. Samuel Taylor Coleridge Work sm

look at you and start talking to you, convinced that they know you as well or better than they do members of their own family, that's just an odd phenomenon. But I mean, I wouldn't say it was a bad thing. It's an interesting thing. Viggo Mortensen But life is a great school. It thrashes and bangs and teaches you. Nikita Khrushchev I look ridiculous in a three-piece suit - I'm too fat. Dominic West If you don't see yourself as a winner, then you cannot perform as a winner. Zig Ziglar I'm a huge fan of classic sci-fi. Grant Bowler People want to find out what happens to the characters, and want to keep reading, and turning the pages. Jerry B. Jenkins When it comes to fame, I am in a very convenient position. I live a very normal life. Clemence Poesy A lot of adults don't think it's their place to interfere with kids. I interfere all the time. Khloe Kardashian I will never stop complaining. Margaret Cho

that prospers again but without pillaging the resources of nations that make their people hate us. That we become a nation that, as the constitution says in its preamble, its very first paragraph, 'promotes the general welfare' of its people. Richard Schiff Americans rightly asked, if this is the way our government responds to a natural disaster it knew about days in advance, how would it respond to a surprise terrorist attack? How would it respond to an earthquake? Russ Carnahan I'm so bad at spontaneous impressions. Ana Gasteyer If men can quilt and take over the kitchen, then women can pick up a wrench and fix a leaky pipe. Hanna Rosin If you have only 95 minutes of material, make an only 95-minute movie. Amazing how often that's forgotten. Stephen Hunter If they exert it not for good, they will for evil; if they advance not knowledge, they will perpetuate ignorance. Frances Wright Apart from these, let all others remain to guard our glorious banne

be very tough on a child. I had two friends in elementary school. That was it. There was a clique of girls that were brutal to me. They pulled some very mean stuff. My two friends got me through it. Without them, I would have been all alone. Angela Cartwright I was at college doing performing arts, and just spending all my time mucking about, and the lecturers thought I would be pretty good at stand-up, so I gave it a whirl. Allan Carr So the majority of Americans are conservatives. They believe in things like the Constitution. I know that's weird to some people but they believe in it. Marco Rubio A lot of things come with fame, whether it's losing friends or losing family. Young Jeezy Being a Catholic is the most important aspect of my life. Mark Wahlberg I'm not a diva. I'm a tadpole trying to be a frog. Toni Braxton I don't feel secure at all. I don't know what actor would feel they've made it. I feel like I'm just starting. Corey S
