This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and will be a moment in history that will always be remembered. I'm really looking forward to being out on the river with friends and family. To mark this historic moment will be extremely special. Steve McFadden My mother's my biggest supporter. Vinny Guadagnino South Africa's increasingly, for example, the largest foreign investor in various other parts of Africa. Susan Rice Why is it that half of the households in America pay zero income tax? We need some real tax reform. John Cornyn I put my foot in my mouth every time I'm interviewed. Selma Blair Kids are our future, and we hope baseball has given them some idea of what it is to live together and how we can get along, whether you be black or white. Larry Doby I'm an aggressive person. Jack Abramoff I'd like to give zero out capital gains tax and zero out the dividends tax, zero out alternative minimum tax, and zero out the death tax. Michele Bac

and delusion. The better you're doing, the higher the stakes, and higher expectations for you to win. Maybe that's why people say it's so hard. But that doesn't make it hard. That just makes it distracting. David Ulevitch My family is full of musicians, and a couple of times a year we get together and jam at my cousin's studio. We improvise and have a great time. Gabriel Macht My work is about the underbelly of the beauty of nature - and the dark side of nature is its indifference. Nature isn't friendly, nor is it unfriendly - it's the perfect embodiment of the Other. April Gornik The Pirate is surrealism and so, in a curious way, is Father of the Bride. Vincente Minnelli Writers are just like other people, except slightly more obsessed. John Banville You get to know them, they get to know you and see if they like you. Then they'll vote on you to become a prospect. You have to be sponsored by a Hells Angel. Chuck Zito I usually destroy

crisis. It shows what can be done when we all join together and work together, governments of all persuasions state, territory and local; businesses large and small; unions and local communities right across the nation. Kevin Rudd Before I got married, I never really watched TV. Now, my husband and I watch 'The Bachelor' together. I love 'The Soup' - that's where I get a lot of my pop culture - and 'Chelsea Lately.' Dylan Lauren I wish my kid would act like my dog sometimes. My dog listens to me and does what I tell him to do. Cesar Millan I'm not saying that people should not divorce, but at the rate at which it happens here is sick. The kids, they suffer. I don't care what anyone says. Eric Braeden I was very interested in theatre, mostly in stage design. I did a little bit of acting. Jim Henson Almost any word can be drafted to serve as a verb, even words we think of as eternal and unchanging, stuck in their more traditional roles.

of the wedding that they miss out on what the real purpose is. It's not about a production number, it's about a meaningful moment between two people that's witnessed by people that they actually really know and care about. Jane Seymour As I grew older, I came to feel more responsible for any hardship or trouble my career caused my family. Annette Funicello I think touring is hard. Renee Fleming Unless we rise to the challenge, instead of American youth being able to live the American dream, the Chinese will fulfill their dream of overtaking America. Mark Kennedy I wish with all my heart that you may be the most lovable prince in the world, and I bestow my gift on you as much as I am able. Charles Perrault I think computers are the ultimate writing tool. I'm a very slow writer, so I appreciate it every day. Sherry Turkle By the way, I'm not a vegetarian. I have a lot of respect for people who are vegetarian for religious or ethical reasons. Eric Sc

cult of the director as God straight away, and also you're discussing things on set so it opens it out to everyone and it becomes a totally collaborative thing. And you have someone who supports you when you're feeling a bit insecure. Alan Cumming You learn a lot more from the lows because it makes you pay attention to what you're doing. John Elway Liberals do not appear to address potential solutions with anything like the far right's aura of God-given self-confidence. Eric Alterman The Constitution of the United States was made not merely for the generation that then existed, but for posterity- unlimited, undefined, endless, perpetual posterity. Henry Clay I went into architecture a little as 'Peck's Bad Boy.' It allowed me to be a critic in a socially condoned way. James Polshek I love it when a guy compliments my vibe. Caity Lotz We just cannot worry about ourselves. Pope Francis I didn't want to be an actress. It wasn't a dr

December 1974, we knew one thing: The road to the Super Bowl in the AFC went through Oakland. To achieve your dreams as a team, you had to slay the Oakland Raiders. They were the barometer of what it took to be a championship team. Joe Greene Everything is working. Lesley Visser I'm kind of ashamed to be a celebrity. I don't understand wanting to read about other people's dirty laundry. I think celebrity is the biggest red herring society has ever pulled on itself. Jude Law At the concert I'm going to crown the best looking man, Mr. Tampa. Bald men definitely have an edge. Christine Lavin The more I come to understand music, the more I feel like a numbskull because there is always more to learn. Cliff Martinez To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all. Aleister Crowley I think if you're good at art, you'll be good at most types of art. Grimes I love going on location, and the location wa

story that begins 'You know you're getting older when.' But you also know it when you not only never heard of the musical guest on a given 'Saturday Night Live' but never heard of the host, either. Tom Shales I've never been one for doing remixes. Then I've gotta decide which version am I gonna be tonight: country Carrie or pop Carrie? I'd rather just make country music that anybody can get into no matter what they listen to. Carrie Underwood I think the choice of actors that we have is a little more varied and rich here in New York than in L.A. Jerry Orbach The United States are a political state, or organized society, whose end is government, for the security, welfare, and happiness of all who live under its protection. William H. Seward I've always been the type of guy that wants to change, adapt and morph from year to year. Chris Jericho Socialism, as I understand it, is a system of democracy. Without democracy, there is no sociali

the agenda forward. At the appropriate time we'll talk about all of these issues, while remembering that our party is a big tent party. We lose when we try to become exclusive to one particular set of issues. Jon Huntsman, Jr. I would put belly laughing at the top of my highlights list. They always say that laughter is the best medicine. Carol Vorderman I'm a big fan of all styles, even Biggie and Wu-Tang, but I gotta do my thing. Ice T Respectable means rich, and decent means poor. I should die if I heard my family called decent. Thomas Mann Trust is that rare and priceless treasure that wins us the affection of our heavenly Father. Brennan Manning Last but not least among serial killer methodologies, we have women who kill their own children. Pat Brown God and death kind of resemble each other, because the only time a lot of people will try and talk to God is when someone's died. Rachel Hunter I spend my working life pretending to be someone else. An

like James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, who were murdered while registering black voters in Mississippi in 1964, and Viola Liuzzo, who was murdered by the Ku Klux Klan in 1965 during the Selma march for voting rights. Jeff Greenfield For all their expertise at figuring out how things work, technical people are often painfully aware how much of human behavior is a mystery. People do things for unfathomable reasons. They are opaque even to themselves. Gary Wolf I am not the first player to have sworn on TV and I won't be the last. Wayne Rooney Children are so precious. Shayne Ward I think dancing is a man's game and if he does it well he does it better than a woman. Gene Kelly I think the dot-com boom and bust represented the end of the beginning. The industry is more mature today. Carly Fiorina Sometimes I suspect most of the media commentariat are suffering from Munchausen syndrome. Rebekah Brooks The first light of day today revealed what

are given full vent in 'The Day After Tomorrow.' He's crude, stupid, slick, cornball, predictable, laughable, relentless, trivial and, the sum of all these, ridiculous. He's never made a movie you could believe and he still hasn't. Stephen Hunter Through the Young Men's Christian Association and principally in Australia and North America, as well as in South America, I came into contact with families of these countries. Fritz Sauckel Headlines are so great in a sense that they can take a little bit from an article completely out of context and blow it into something it's not. Some people really only read headlines. Kristin Cavallari You see airbrushed images of me, but I know the person who's walking barefoot, dodging dog poo in the yard. Carolyn Murphy I also had a tremendous passion for art and read a lot. Nigel Dennis I know what it takes to make a band, how they should interact, what makes a record sound like it's a band - everythi

the job; my center of focus shifted, which I think is very helpful, because even if you're not a very indulgent actor you spend a lot of time thinking about yourself. I don't think that is particularly healthy. Imelda Staunton I can appreciate that on one side, but we have to remember that the system is designed corruptly, and works against us, so you cant convict those who can benefit from the system, because its not neccesarily their fault. Kool Moe Dee Pheu Thai has to find prominent party leaders that can solve the problems of the country now. If we can find those types of people, then we can win. There are many good people in Thailand but we have to recruit them. Thaksin Shinawatra The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment of life. Henry Ford The only currency I value is the coin of the spirit. That's very important in my life. Kinky Friedman These years of the Ecole Normale were an ordeal. Nothing

Kandinsky, Beckmann and many others. The work was called 'sick' and put in the trash heap. The sentiments expressed toward contemporary art by Jesse Helms, Pat Robertson and Mayor Giuliani recall the language used by the Nazis. Hans Haacke I've always wanted to be a real universal artist, one that every type of audience could relate to. Bryan White Making records is fun. It's not some big statement. You're allowed to make mistakes. Norah Jones I think we still believe that ambition is for boys. Jeanette Winterson My Republican friends are lamenting reconciliation. But I would recommend for them to go back and look at history. Harry Reid Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming. John Wooden I never retreat from films, as it were, I simply indulge in other interests, that's all. Daniel Day-Lewis I don't photograph any two people who are remotely the same. Jock Sturges What doe

its parts, and somewhere in there, there's an alchemical thing that makes something happen or not - that makes something connect or not. Now, of course you want to make work that people see, but the enjoyment I get out of acting is playing characters. Eddie Redmayne English football has just had a transfer window imposed for the first time, so it will be interesting to see how managers cope with the squads they have until it re-opens. David Ginola Well, stealing bases adds some runs but very few, and you lose most of the runs that you gain by having runners caught stealing. Bill James When you're working on a lake and it's dark and cold out and you can't see what's underwater, it is freaking scary! Jessica Szohr I'll be honest. We copied everyone... the Beatles, the Bachelors. It was the only way people would even listen to you. Maurice Gibb There is nothing in this world that I fear to say. Dmitri Mendeleev I find myself eating different kinds

our thoughts and feelings, our relationships with others and ourselves, as is the Earth to the leaves that first race across her and then, no longer able to run, give themselves up to nourish her body so that she may give birth again come the spring. Guy Finley I quit smoking the day I found out I was pregnant, which was nine years ago. But I'll still smoke in a movie. I have other vices, you know, like potato chips and chardonnay - but not together. Jean Smart I don't want it to be all that self-conscious or artificial, but it really grows out of my having invented myself as a listener so that I could hear her voice. Russell Banks Francis Bacon is one of my giant inspirations. I just love him to pieces. David Lynch I thought to myself, Join the army. It's free. So I figured while I'm here I'll lose a few pounds. John Candy My dad's got a brilliant eye for scripts 'cos he's a literary agent. He and my agent read a load of scripts and filte

they carry their 'made-up' persona in front of them, like some sort of baffler, or Ready Brek force field. Their reach for notoriety predicated on that fulsome mediocrity of talent detailed above has become frozen in their faces. Will Self I love my apartment in New York. Amanda Seyfried Money is not an aphrodisiac: the desire it may kindle in the female eye is more for the cash than the carrier. Marya Mannes Schools don't really allow failure and yet it's a valid part of any endeavour, not just writing. Roddy Doyle Poor but happy is not a phrase invented by a poor person. Mason Cooley I don't have a trainer. Crazy, right? But I don't need anyone to motivate me. I love exercise, even things like the elliptical and stretching. Catherine Zeta-Jones There's a market for mysteries for adults. That feeling of opening a book and delving inside and not coming out until you've closed the book. Kate Morton When the great promise of the Spirit

was in the boys' choir at the local Episcopal church. But I got the clear message that I was supposed to learn music there, and not pay too much attention to the rest of it, and I followed those instructions very carefully. Francis Collins It was a horrible, terrible, atrocious, offensive football game. Barry Switzer I'm actually more confident when I'm tan. Shanina Shaik A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers. Plato In my experience it's not essential to get on with the person that you're acting opposite. Hugh Dancy Lyrics are really important for me. Gavin Rossdale I'm not playing for other musicians. We're trying to reach the guy who works all day and wants to spend a buck at night. We'll keep him happy. Nat King Cole The two major challenges for the 21st century are to improve the economic situation of the majority and save as much of the planet as we can. E. O. Wilson I used to be an atheist, but I've ch

and Rome. Paul Schrader is directing; Stellan Skarsgard plays the younger Max Von Sydow character. It's just a fantastic script. It's a very eerie, very scary script. It encomposes a growing dread that I think is really appropriate for the film. Gabriel Mann My name had gone stale, and no matter how progressive I got, it was my time to die. Joni Mitchell I hope to devote all of my spare time, which ordinarily would go to research, my summers, and every ounce of strength I can muster to further the project. Louis Finkelstein I admire Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman for their sheer dedication to their craft. Lavrenti Lopes I am in the interesting position of being sometimes skimmed by the critics and called literature and sometimes called historical fiction. Philippa Gregory It's just a bunch of songs. I'm not trying to cure any major disease. Nuno Bettencourt And what we know, or think we know, about the universe of space and time is changing very quick

I have my own hobbies and interests. I have a ranch with livestock and horses. I didn't always get my self-esteem and identity from acting. I never worked unless I wanted to. I never did anything just to do it, just for the paycheck. I always did things that I liked. Ricky Schroder My husband and I had five biological children but we also have been raising 23 foster children. Michele Bachmann There are moments in one's life where you look back and you say, 'Well, I wish I had done this differently.' Nicholas Meyer I belonged to Stratford Children's Theater when I was a boy growing up in Manchester. Even then, I was always doing character parts. John Mahoney Vickie Lynn Hogan is my birth certificate's name. Anna Nicole Smith People who know me know I have a sense of humor that can really push the envelope. Carmen Electra I think luck falls on not just the brave but also the ones who believe they belong there. Novak Djokovic I am an expert in

writing TV, there are act breaks, there's a length of time it's supposed to be. The restrictions of budget and sets can be really useful. When you can have everything, it's very hard to make things feel real and lived in. Joss Whedon I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism. Barack Obama However it is debased or misinterpreted, love is a redemptive feature. To focus on one individual so that their desires become superior to yours is a very cleansing experience. Jeanette Winterson Pleasures are always children, pains always have wrinkles. Joseph Joubert I become more seasoned, it's less interesting to try and compete in the pop market. Sheryl Crow Enthusiasm is everything. It must be taut and vibrating like a guitar string. Pele The class of citizens who provide at once their own food and their own raiment, may be viewed as the most truly indep

little legal ability to control its economic future: Everything is for sale. And once Nicaraguans decide to cash in and sell their houses or farms, they have to look far inland for anything affordable. Tony D'Souza Cuba needs a dose of perestroika. Carlos Fuentes Before our albums are released I feel like we still own it, that we have control over our music. But once it's out there in the world it's no longer ours. Chris Martin Cut your morning devotions into your personal grooming. You would not go out to work with a dirty face. Why start the day with the face of your soul unwashed? Robert A. Cook If people are informed they will do the right thing. It's when they are not informed that they become hostages to prejudice. Charlayne Hunter-Gault You don't get an economy growing by raising taxes. John Hoeven I never thought a basketball shoe would be named after a woman, let alone me. Sheryl Swoopes A failure doesn't mean you are unworthy, nor

I'm four passports in. I bought this small Tumi case to protect my new one, and it works really well, not just for protecting it but also for keeping credit cards and small stuff. I just throw it in my bag when I'm traveling, as opposed to stuffed in my pocket. Avicii I had a very unusual contract. Most artists actually pay for their record dates and it comes out of their royalties. I paid for nothing. Jo Stafford My work is a love for me; I'd do it for free, but don't tell my bosses. Chick Hearn I would fain grow old learning many things. Plato Our team has a lot of talent. I hope that soon we will break out with four or five goals and avoid overtime. Peter Bondra I'm governor of New York. Andrew Cuomo Whitney Houston's voice was the very first voice I fell in love with. She was the voice that made me want to become a singer. Melanie Fiona South Wales is a hub of aviation. Bruce Dickinson It was a hobby I got into a long time ago, hackin

at home and at work. My mother did that 50 years ago, but it wasn't called multitasking or stress back then. She had a job, two kids and the meals to make with no cook or maid. My father would come home every day and expect lunch. He was a nice guy, but he was clueless! Mireille Guiliano Research challenges the materialistic understanding of death, according to which biological death represents the final end of existence and of all conscious activity. Stanislav Grof I found out through the Internet that I have AIDS. I learned that I was dead. Where else would I find these things? Layne Staley We can live with lots of things, but we can't live without imagination, we can't live without hope. Ariel Dorfman I don't let myself 'surf' on the Web, or I would probably drown. Aubrey Plaza Fundamental progress has to do with the reinterpretation of basic ideas. Alfred North Whitehead I view my role more as trying to set up an environment where the perso

I've had them, I realize you almost lie to them by definition, because if you're trying to summarize something for your 1-year-old, you put it in very simple terms. You only gradually complicate the explanation as they get older. Emma Donoghue I could have stayed in L.A. and done sitcoms for awhile and will probably go back and do one I hope. Andrea Martin I've gotten so many compliments for having nice feet. Torrie Wilson I think there are certain technical things about acting that change between working in film and television. Everything definitely slows down and we have more time in film. Thomas McDonell I try to be as clear as I can be. Demian Bichir I like New York. There are similarities with London that make it feel rather like home, but at the same time it's slightly fictional. Clive Anderson I got my Nobel Prize for my lab work. Joshua Lederberg I was 11 when I started boxing. My brother was fighting before I did, and he got me into it. N

My father was a patriarch and I a pliant daughter. The neighborhood I'd grown up in was homogeneously Hindu, Bengali-speaking, and middle-class. I didn't expect myself to ever disobey or disappoint my father by setting my own goals and taking charge of my future. Bharati Mukherjee The one thing that I'm absolutely sure about is that the people of Gaza aren't going anywhere. And neither are the people of Israel. Ross Kemp You can be childlike without being childish. A child always wants to have fun. Ask yourself, 'Am I having fun?' Christopher Meloni We are at the precipice of great transformation within our culture and government. Zachary Quinto 'The Sun Also Rises' by Ernest Hemingway is my favorite book. You feel manly reading it. Elizabeth Olsen I don't mind dating younger men now. Jackee Harry To live happily is an inward power of the soul. Marcus Aurelius Publicity is like poison; it doesn't hurt unless you swallow it.

being myself. What I should have done was say. 'Girls, it's really time for me to go on my own. I need to fulfill this dream of mine to have a solo album.' And I didn't know how to do that. I wanted to please them. Fergie Even some of the greatest technology-led revolutions, or allegedly technology-led, really were only made possible because of trends already present. Scott Cook The aim is to create here in Britain a really hostile environment for illegal migration. Theresa May I simply love writing good stories, that's my passion. Kate Morton Go up close to your friend, but do not go over to him! We should also respect the enemy in our friend. Friedrich Nietzsche Everybody else has been seen, been proven. Skeet Ulrich The important thing is that when you come to understand something you act on it, no matter how small that act is. Eventually it will take you where you need to go. Helen Prejean I am most proud of the development of the characters

Olivia Newton-John. When I was little I used to watch 'Grease,' 'Mary Poppins' and 'The Sound of Music' a lot. If you put all those things together you do kind of get my outfits. A slightly tarty nanny in a second-hand outfit. That is pretty much what I wear. Sophie Ellis-Bextor I'm not against accents - my husband's from Lancashire and has a rural Lancs accent. We've just got back from Scotland yesterday, and I love that Highland burr. Penelope Keith My grandfather was very into horse racing, and I found some of his old journals and got into it from there. It has a lot of parallels to skiing. It's a fun lifestyle, being around the racetrack. Bode Miller I feel good about the work I do on Survivor and am proud of my contribution. Jeff Probst The race of man, while sheep in credulity, are wolves for conformity. Carl Clinton Van Doren Who learns most from a good book is the author. Jose Bergamin I need the applause. Jerry Lewis

And they were committed to a musical style that needed no justification because it came so naturally to them. As they grew musically the mere repetition of old rock and blues tunes became increasingly less satisfying. Jon Landau In my opinion, theater shouldn't give advice to citizens. Vaclav Havel I was a home-schooled kid, living in the forest, and I didn't even have cable. I'm serious. Kat Dennings Really, what education does is it gives opportunity, but it also gives hope. Greg Mortenson Now my music is kind of pop-rock, right? If I'm 25 and singing still, I don't want to be singing music like that. Hilary Duff I mean, you're gonna be left behind if you don't appreciate the genius that is Meredith Vieira. Mo Rocca Education is the only billion dollar industry that tolerates abject failure. Geoffrey Canada Of course, I won't be abandoning photography, because it is my life. Sebastiao Salgado You know, I think what people want m

no more bread and pasta for the month. I can't live without chocolate, though. I've always got a bar in my handbag. It has to be 72%. Any less and it's too sweet, any more and it's inedible. Like I said, I'm very particular. Nancy Meyers Some people expect me to be funny all the time, and I'm not necessarily funny all the time. Denis Leary As a mom, I always feel I have to protect them. I talk about them because they are the most important things in my life but they are private people. I won't use them for my own press. Jami Gertz Resting for me is fitness training. Jenson Button Reading your own material aloud forces you to listen. Stephen Ambrose I'm a New Wave baby, so I got very stimulated by foreign film. Jack Nicholson I love to write. It's my first love. Geddy Lee I always look up to people like Michael Gambon and Tommy Lee Jones, and I hope that as I mature I will become as craggy as them. Burn Gorman The computer is v

bill will be very close. I take this vote with the utmost seriousness. I am quite aware of the historic fight that has lasted the better part of the last century to bring America in line with other modern democracies in providing single payer health care. Dennis Kucinich Corporations are like countries now, there's a king, there are serfs, there's a court, basically everything but moats. They're feudal societies, and there are good ones and bad ones. Tony Gilroy We were all flying around up and down the coast near Dunkirk looking for enemy aircraft which seemed also to be milling around with no particular cohesion. Douglas Bader I think if you're a good songwriter, that's what you are first - not a star or celebrity. Tom Cochrane I've done, like, 45 movies, played 40 gangsters and five crooked cops. Tony Sirico The women's movement is just a symptom of basic changes in the economy that are favoring women. Helen Fisher Very few of my charact

I'm always aware of what I would call the 'deep composition.' Photography in the field is a process of creation, of thought and technique. But ultimately, it's an act of imaginatively seeing from within yourself. Sam Abell That's the problem with having a bald head. It exaggerates the shape. Karl Pilkington I've been thinking a lot about next year, which will be the first time in 25 years that I don't have a child at home. Jessica Lange I broke my nose in gym when a ball hit me. I took a girl to her debutante ball the next week wearing a tux and a big, honking bandage. Not the romantic night she had in mind. Wentworth Miller Losing Michael Jackson is a handicap. It's the Lakers trying to win a championship without Kobe Bryant. Tito Jackson Just to stir things up seemed a great reward in itself. Sallust Sustainability can't be like some sort of a moral sacrifice or political dilemma or a philanthropical cause. It has to be a design c

a chance to look back at the Earth, that horizon slowly curves around in upon himself, and all of sudden you're looking at something that is very strange, but yet is very, very familiar, because you're beginning to see the Earth evolve. Eugene Cernan We can only move to a long-term resolution regarding terrorism and war by planting seeds of peace. We have to start with ourselves. Peter Yarrow I grew up with the piano. I learned its language as I learned to speak. Keith Jarrett In its history, Europe has committed so many massacres and horrors that it should bow its own head in shame. Desmond Tutu I would hope everyone would be a feminist. Mia Wasikowska When I meet somebody, I hang out with them, and it's all good, but I don't take it too seriously. Christina Milian My constant prayer, my number one foreign goal, is to bring peace to Israel. And in the process to Israel's neighbours. Jimmy Carter God only knows what else is on the web about me.

college I studied Eastern philosophy. I'm also an avid team-sports fan. I think I just blended them all together and came out with a business management philosophy that combines the Eastern ethic with the Western sport concept, basically. Michael Ovitz I studied acting in school and then, of course, couldn't get an acting job. Denis Leary I had a brother who was my savior, made my childhood bearable. Maurice Sendak My dad was just a big Joseph Campbell nut. Trey Parker I'm a pointillist, just working my tiny little piece of the canvas. I'm not so good at perspective. Garry Trudeau Well, I'm a former FBI agent. Mike Rogers I try to be somewhat wary of fame, but I'm not wary of success. Troy Garity Mystery is not profoundness. Charles Caleb Colton Just as there is no substitute for original works of art, there is no substitute for the world of direct sensual experience. Paul Mellon

That's why I love Rome. The town itself is that way. It's where Fascist architecture meets classic Renaissance, where the ancient bangs up against the contemporary. It has a touch of everything. That's my style, and that's what my work is about. Giambattista Valli I think it's very rare that you see girl friendships on television. It's always cattiness and all that drama. Lyndsy Fonseca If I decide to be indecisive, that's my decision. Roger McGough Jean's whole job is to protect Victoria. Jean is a very practical, very orderly, very disciplined person; she is the personality called the gatekeeper. Erika Slezak It's so exciting to be doing radio on the cutting edge of technology. Being in on something new is the biggest thrill in the world. Lynn Samuels Fame may go by and - so long, I've had you. Marilyn Monroe I don't want to be your hero. I want to be your brother. You know, I want to be your family member. I want to be yo

to be like everyone else or are you going to do what's right?' I just made a decision. I said, 'It's time to grow up. It's time to start living for the Lord, do things the right way.' I accepted the Lord, and it changed my life. Luke Scott One of my biggest pet peeves is that I just don't like it when characters do things that are funny to the writer, but you don't know why they're doing it and it doesn't make any sense. Glenn Howerton As a little girl I loved the thought of playing dress-up and getting ready. Denise Richards You never know what's going to play into what's worthy of getting encapsulated into a song. Feist The good times of today, are the sad thoughts of tomorrow. Bob Marley I have always wanted a solo career, deep in the darkest pit of myself, but I didn't dare admit it to myself even. It took me a long time to confront my fears. Geri Halliwell I didn't grow up in public life. I lived with my mot

it's not necessarily your morals or your values. You're playing a character, but the way the media will sometimes ask you if these are your opinions, you know - they make you responsible for that, and I take issue with it because I don't believe in censorship. Katey Sagal Football is, after all, a wonderful way to get rid of your aggressions without going to jail for it. Woody Hayes In high school I was making beats for my friends and for myself and rapping over them. Mike Shinoda I enjoy every climb - maybe it's because it's a literal dance between life and death. Alain Robert I guess something that you love to do, you gotta ease up off it and give it a little space, come back and be fresh to it. Mos Def A lot of women are turned off by the physical appearance of some of the first feminists. Helen Reddy I like creating these rhythmic patterns. These interlocking rhythmic things are really fun. Danny Elfman Mark Twain cannot be defined. Hal Hol

that. For anybody that comes to one of our shows, the goal for me is to make sure that's their show. That nobody else is going to see that show ever again. You know what I mean? I try to make it different every day. David Cook My love life doesn't stink; it's nonexistent. Kevin Eubanks In my job I meet many outstanding, world class, British based companies. But we need more companies and more jobs in the companies we have. Vince Cable I'm a great fan of Carey Lowell's and I loved Jill Hennessey. Elisabeth Rohm I just cash in on the fact that I'm good looking, and I've got a nice figure and girls like me. Sid Vicious Lots of people working in cryptography have no deep concern with real application issues. They are trying to discover things clever enough to write papers about. Whitfield Diffie An inefficient virus kills its host. A clever virus stays with it. James Lovelock Linux is only free if your time has no value. Jamie Zawinski Fr

controlled, sensibly organised, that has to be a good thing. It will teach them to win, it will teach them to lose with dignity and magnanimity - all the things you want. It's a pretty good metaphor for life. Sebastian Coe Well, I've known Elizabeth almost all of her life and almost all of my life. And I love her with all of my heart and she's always been there for me. She's a wonderful, wonderful dame. She's a great lady. Liza Minnelli I believe there's about 78 to 81 members of the Democrat Party who are members of the Communist Party. It's called the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Allen West I used to do stuff at college. I could do voices. I could make some people laugh. I wasn't the class clown, but I knew I had this skill. Steve Coogan Science reckons many prophets, but there is not even a promise of a Messiah. Thomas Huxley Critic's delight: scolding the Mighty Dead. Mason Cooley Smart, well-meaning people get it wrong whe

my life, I would go to see shows where there was my mother taking us to see classic rock concerts, like Zeppelin, or when I saw Pink Floyd or when I saw, you know, when I was a little older, and I saw Nine Inch Nails, and I saw The Cure. Jared Leto The people like the American Legion Post that gave us a chance to play. A place to play and a chance to play. Dave Winfield Thoughtful people of different political philosophies can disagree, but in a very agreeable manner. Bob Ehrlich It's been a great place to get in touch with what people are really thinking. And to make contact with readers and other writers. Egalitarian, wide open, like the Wild West! Greg Bear I was probably a bit of a mimic when I was a kid, and I used to imitate people. Mia Wasikowska Taking the future in your own hands has a fantastic psychological impact. Aleqa Hammond Life is painful, nasty and short... in my case it has only been painful and nasty. Djuna Barnes Life is a difficult game. Y

a ton of rodeos, and I thought this was such a cowboy deal, and I don't wear a hat. They might not think I'm a cowboy. That might sound ridiculous to a lot of people, but apparently, it meant something to me. I wound up with a cowboy tattoo from my elbow to my wrist. Ronnie Dunn I feel like a character actress - it's where I'm comfortable. Melanie Lynskey I've definitely seen bands before they made money kind of change their thing on the next tour, and I prefer it when it's a little more raw. Bruno Mars In my experience, scientists are not always the most socially adjusted people, and may have habits and fascinations outside of their work that others might consider odd. Nathaniel Rich I have a huge crush on Josh Hutcherson and all the guys in One Direction! Rebecca Black When I started workin' with Muddy. That convinced me that I could get away with doin' the blues. Johnny Winter A long-running TV series is a beast in that it demands yo

to all the events, you know what I mean? If I'm involved, I'll go, and if there's a good friend who needs support, I'll go, but otherwise... I don't go. I'm probably just a bit like my grandparents; I like staying in. James McAvoy I love to draw people's faces. I do that all the time. Mischa Barton I grew up in Manhattan on the Upper East Side. Laura Linney It's profoundly disorienting to go from zero to celebrity. Patrick Rothfuss In Amsterdam, the river and canals have been central to city life for the last four centuries. Janet Echelman People should realize that I shot a Coke commercial back in 1986. So, you know, I've been around a long time. I carry my Screen Actors Guild Card. Kato Kaelin I've been at Liverpool for eight years, and the time has come for us to start achieving. Jamie Redknapp If hopes were dupes, fears may be liars. Arthur Hugh Clough The reason that the all-American boy prefers beauty to brains is th

you,' and then whack a ruler across my hand. 'Well,' I'd say, 'if God loves me, can you call God? Can you ask Him if it's all right that I didn't do my homework? If it's not, then let Him hit me.' Freddie Prinze The intellectuals' chief cause of anguish are one another's works. Jacques Barzun Civil union is less than marriage. Marriage is a sacred and valued institution and ought to be afforded equal protection. James McGreevey I might get drunk one day and fall in love or fall over a hooker outside, and I would have consummated a relationship that I couldn't necessarily believe in. Oliver Reed Happiness isn't happiness unless there's a violin-playing goat. Julia Roberts This generation... they have a different attitude. Instead of sitting and watching something, they want to be a part of it - they're very hedonistic and sensual. Steve Wynn Yes well I've done three movies with Samuel L. Jackson, so I'

do that? How can you go to bat everyday for a person that you may not know is guilty but you have a pretty good idea that he's not so innocent?' It's a question that defense attorneys answer for themselves by not addressing. David E. Kelley I like being a woman, not a girl. Sharon Stone Climate change is very real. Debbie Stabenow There is no spot of ground, however arid, bare or ugly, that cannot be tamed into such a state as may give an impression of beauty and delight. Gertrude Jekyll I don't go online, I don't read reviews, I try not to look at anything on the Internet. Aaron Johnson All I wanted with that film was to represent the possibility that there might be normal people who are Muslim or Arab with the same fears, responsibilities, hopes. Tony Shalhoub My work is my way of expressing myself without being arrested. Rhys Ifans I was sitting in the toilet and I was by myself. I was tired of playing with the roller, so I said I'd bette

tell a story, and that story requires songs. And not just good songs, but great songs. After a while, great songs won't do - they have to be the best. Success doesn't make it any easier. Each time I start a new record, it's a brand-new search. The Edge When you see people who are really good at game shows, the one common attribute is a cool head under pressure: an ability to perform as well in the studio, surrounded by lights and noise, as you do on your couch. Ken Jennings There are always going to be times when it doesn't flow as much as you were hoping. So of course I'm going to fail. And when I do fail I hope I fail better and better, again and again. I am happy to fail. Joseph Fiennes I think there's a gigantic generation gap in terms of how people understand the Internet and how much they think technology is an important factor in social change. Alex Steffen When we leave money in the hands of taxpayers, they buy things, they pay taxes, they gr

I don't know why. It's never happened to me, because I'm really proud of it. I'm not embarrassed about where I'm from or who I am any more. I know who I am. I don't fit in everywhere, but I know where I do fit in. Rachael Taylor Do I make mistakes? Yeah. Tom Cruise The physical environment of L.A. is really beautiful. It's actually kinda fun, too, if you're working. It's just not really fun if you're not working and you don't know anybody. Rose Byrne A first impulse was never a crime. Pierre Corneille I was the classic midfield organiser who could also score goals. Michel Patini I just don't want to die without a few scars. Chuck Palahniuk Repercussions are serious and they will take you places. Bryan Clay If I put the script down more than once, there's a good chance that I probably don't want to play the part. Joe Lando You can't be a Red if you're married to a civil servant. Doris Lessing

liberal Democrat - that doesn't think that it's important to have quality jobs that pay decent wages so that families can support themselves, so that they can have the dignity of being able to afford health care, put money aside for pension, buy a home. Tom Vilsack I'd also say having Jack's son Chris living with us from his 13th year on helped in raising Rick. Marie Windsor I had strong legs that would have made me a good sumo wrestler and I used that to my advantage, but my home runs were achieved by technique. Sadaharu Oh War can be so impersonal yet when we put a name, a face, a place and match it to families, then war is not impersonal. Dennis Kucinich My learning process is by eye alone; it's not at all scientific. Miuccia Prada I'm the audience's representative on earth. Michael Caine I still close my eyes and go home - I can always draw from that. Dolly Parton I don't go to the beach. There is no value in going to the beach.

part of our contract has now been broken. Clearly I cannot permit a situation where Conservative rebels can pick and choose the parts of the contract they like, while Liberal Democrat MPs are bound to the entire agreement. Nick Clegg I learned quickly, as I tell my graduate students now, there are no answers in the back of the book when the equipment doesn't work or the measurements look strange. Martin Lewis Perl If I need something, I'll invent it. Mickey Spillane Republicans know that government spending creates jobs. They just want that spending to be funneled to their projects and districts... and they certainly don't want to say it out loud. Jennifer Granholm I had an older brother who passed away recently, an older sister and a younger brother. Steve Case My mother raised three kids on her own, so I was taught that to be a working mom was a good thing. Sarah Shahi Practically the only way to dry the swamp of radical Islam is through economic develop

own culture around us to a large extent, whether it's what we're listening to, what we're watching, what we're reading - it can have very little to do with one's immediate cultural environment. We are in a global culture in that respect. David Sylvian If you're from a certain generation, you basically learn to read with 'Peanuts.' It's sort of the template for the modern strip. Its influence ceased to be noticed because it's in everything. Stephan Pastis 3D is quite a lot more advanced in animated movies; for live-action movies we're just taking baby steps, we're just in the beginning. Ang Lee Nothing ends nicely, that's why it ends. Tom Cruise The crazy thing is we live on an ocean planet - nobody gets that yet. Graham Hawkes Who isn't fascinated by evil? Marvin Gaye I like to look at how people work together when they are put into stressful situations, when life stops being cozy. Jeanette Winterson I got my

with him, I found him to be a very serious man. Whereas the films of Hitchcock are macabre, he could be a very funny man to work with, always telling jokes and holding court. Of course, when I worked with Charlie he was getting older. Tippi Hedren The life of the individual is a continuous combat with errors and obstacles, and no victory is more satisfying than the one achieved against opposition. Gustav Stresemann It's so weird that I went to rehab. I always said that I would die before I went to rehab. But I thought, 'I'm going to stay here tonight.' And I stayed there for a month. It was great. Lindsay Lohan I'm adopted, so I didn't know my father, but apparently he was pretty tall. Keegan-Michael Key I envy people who can think, 'No, I'm not going to work today' when they have a huge pile of deadlines stacking up. Julian Fellowes You can mix in certain sensitivities as a filmmaker. Peter Weir Paris is paramount for fashion, alwa

policies. And I so want to tell 'em, and I do tell 'em, Oh, we're plenty smart, oh yeah - we know what's goin' on. And we don't like what's goin' on. And we're not gonna let them tell us to sit down and shut up. Sarah Palin I'm a bit weird. Billy Corgan No one has been a greater advocate for the power of love in this world than I; both in my life and in my music. Stevie Wonder You wouldn't believe that I still have the bikers with the caps to the side at my door, ringing the doorbell. Tina Turner I'm married. Who cares about me? Li Na Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die. Malachy McCourt In the second part of life you get rid of stuff you've accumulated. Mikhail Baryshnikov I've never been one to run from a challenge. Patrick Swayze I think there is a break down of trust generally, between people and politicians. I think that's come about for a whole variety of reason

It recognises the Gardai and H.S.E. as those with responsibility for investigating such allegations and that any Church investigation should not take place until the investigation by the civil authorities has been completed. Sean Brady You can make yourself feel better about yourself if you project your shadow side, if you project your own potential for evil onto someone else. By annihilating them and, therefore, your shadow, you bring yourself into some state of purity or reformation. Jennifer Beals It is not knowledge, but the act of learning, not possession but the act of getting there, which grants the greatest enjoyment. Carl Friedrich Gauss I'm not interested in playing the victim. I like stories about survivors. Laurie Holden Plus, I am paranoid by nature. I need to be in control. Taylor Dayne I don't know how people can live without a therapist. Neve Campbell It's certainly my honor to be able to, hopefully, change the world a tiny bit, one mind at

club near my house, which I was not a member of. Always had to pay my own rent. But I don't really have any concept of how money works. I don't know how much things cost. Like a BMW. Or a quart of milk. It's embarrassing. Chloe Sevigny I'm driven by issues, not driven to be political. Kevin McCloud In a painting, you can't make out whether the artist painted the left eye before the right eye. In Chinese calligraphy, you can see the progression of the artist's stroke. Vikram Seth Things kind of happen organically with me. Jules Shear Polanski was very precise. I think he still is. Catherine Deneuve The California crunch really is the result of not enough power-generating plants and then not enough power to power the power of generating plants. George W. Bush You can find more traditional Shakespeare than we do. But what we want to bring to these works is energy, passion, freshness. John Bradshaw What you have outside you counts less than what

is not because of a debt-ceiling vote. The reason it's bad is because we have people who believe that by making government bigger by keeping people on unemployment checks and on welfare we're going to dig us out of this mess. Todd Rokita The name America has definitely grown on me. I wish there was a big patriotic story behind it, but the truth is that my grandfather was a librarian who knew all sorts of random facts. America Ferrera I knew I was doing something right because it was selling so I didn't want to interfere with it. Robert Sheckley This is all new to me, these re-releases. I don't know how these things do. I don't know if it will be people who saw it originally or young people. Tom Berenger Poets, we know, are terribly sensitive people, and in my observation one of the things they are most sensitive about is money. Robert Penn Warren The Japanese have a long lifespan in part because they eat different forms of algae. Homaro Cantu A hea

last thing you want on your mind when you're competing. In an ideal situation, you'll have something where you'll put it on and you're fine and you don't have to worry about it at all. Kristi Yamaguchi Age is like love, it cannot be hid. Thomas Dekker It's kind of fun to hear that other people deal with the same kinds of issues that you do. Bryan Clay My role in the Mamas and Papas was basically just to sing. Cass Elliot Thoroughly read all your contracts. I really mean thoroughly. Bret Michaels The thing I don't understand is why so often one hears discussion of the fruits of human labor as if it's all the creation of some alien race. Chris Ware I've been very lucky, this is my 30th year on TV. Craig Charles Most of the people who write to me are really clever, really engaged. They just want to say that they have read my book and liked it. Denise Mina It's time for the people of the Empire State to strike back. Andrew Cu

with their lines memorized. That's a very important thing that a lot of people seem to forget. You have a pre-conceived notion of what you want the scene to be, but once you get there, that goes out the window and it turns out to be a way that you never imagined. Shailene Woodley There is only one thing that a man really wants to do, all his life; and that is, to find his way to his God, his Morning Star, salute his fellow man, and enjoy the woman who has come the long way with him. D. H. Lawrence What I feel I am doing now is giving to the people exactly what they paid for but never actually heard before. John Entwistle People think being remembered most for one character is a negative thing, but I don't. I never expected to be remembered for anything! Mark Hamill Because I grew up with this naive expectation of people doing right, I get shocked by every little violation. Dave Eggers Vocal study before age 20 is likely to be injurious, though some survive it in

sound. I would get notes about how I should lose my accent, and part of me thinks, 'How dare you! This is who I am! Millions of people want to sound like me!' But it's sensitive, and I have tried to change it, with little to no success. Jack McBrayer Fortunately, as we all know, it's impossible for anybody but Jimmy Smith to really sound like Jimmy Smith. Benmont Tench Back in the day, if you did any commercials or were affiliated with a company you were a sellout. Now it's kind of normal to do that. Jordan Knight If we had to go live action, I'd hold out for Tim Burton to direct. Phil Foglio See, Heaven is not someplace on a disc in the sky floating around, it's right here amongst us. Sylvia Browne Belief in the supernatural reflects a failure of the imagination. Edward Abbey Language should be an ever developing procedure and not an isolated occurrence. Robert Smithson Acting is not about anything romantic, not even fantasy, although y
