called 'The First 48.' It's a documentary about killings where they try and find murderers. They interrogate people and they tell on each other - it's hilarious. ASAP Rocky The game's been good to me and I hope I've been good to the game. I'm 50 years old and I've pretty much did everything that I wanted to do in boxing. Evander Holyfield The physical voice we use in prayer need not be great nor startling; even should we not lift up any great cry or shout, God will yet hear us. Origen Latin men are the most passionate men in the world - they may not be the most aggressive, but they are very passionate, very romantic. Brooke Burke I've been in love with the cinema since childhood and it's a fantasy of mine to appear in a Hollywood movie. Bruno Tonioli When you love what you do, you're happy just doing it! Liz Phair Yeah, I can read music and I know the names of chords. Dave Navarro Good writers are of necessity rare. Geor

that genre, this type of story, and that type of story. As I watch movies I make some version of it in my head that isn't quite what I'm seeing - taking the things I like and mixing them with stuff I've never seen before. Quentin Tarantino Beginning to create again was something that I took for granted but I never will take it for granted again. Lou Gramm I grew up a Catholic and I don't want to talk badly about the Catholic Church but there's a lot of routine stuff going on. You say the same prayers, you sit, you kneel, whatever. Bernhard Langer Think carefully before asking for justice. Mercy might be safer. Mason Cooley No, I only like whether I like the story or not, essentially see something in it that isn't completely there. Vincente Minnelli The role of Italy and of Austria has diminished as has that of France and Britain; Germany and Japan have suffered catastrophically. Emily Greene Balch The '80s was all about this idea that women

been training for my third space flight. This one is almost in a category completely different than the previous two, specifically to live in on the space station for six months, to command a space ship and to fly a new rocket ship. Chris Hadfield And that's the mission of The Innocence Project in New York, is to exonerate people who have been wrongfully convicted, and also work from a policy angle with Congress and state legislatures to prevent future wrongful convictions. John Grisham When I was a child I didn't care about getting an education, and I didn't finish high school. Mary J. Blige I distanced myself, relatively, from my parents for a year or so in my late twenties. It was necessary for me to feel my autonomy. Other than that brief gap, we have always been a very close family. Jennifer Ehle Metaphor is embodied in language. Dennis Potter I am capable of being idle. Alexander McCall Smith There is a lot of opportunity sitting in global healthcare

role as journalists is to give voice to the voiceless, and hold our leaders and institutions accountable. But the circle is only completed when that information is consumed by a free-thinking and engaged audience. Lester Holt Yeah I'm still writing. I've got about 14 tracks now. But we've been on tour so we haven't had time to get back to a rehearsal place. Ville Valo I had been to the South many times and I thought I knew what the South was, but not until you live with people and live through their lives do you know what it's really about. Genevieve Gorder The lack of money is the root of all evil. Mark Twain I don't enjoy songwriting. Rod Stewart This coupling together of science with international peace, is, I think, particularly significant. Irving Langmuir If I'm left high and dry at the end of this wild journey, just taking it is a great feeling. Olivia Wilde With all the highs and lows I've had in my life, I wouldn't chang

We have become a country entrenched in idolatry, and that idolatry is the dependency upon our government. We're supposed to depend upon God for our protection and our provision and for our daily bread, not for our government. Sharron Angle You've got to stay focused without being boring - because all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Skinny, but dull. LL Cool J I do find it odd people choose to do stuff that makes them look like crazy Hollywood faces, but I've got zero judgment. Julie Bowen The one thing that I know government is good for is countervailing against monopoly. It's not great at that either, but it's the only force I know that is fairly reliable. John Perry Barlow Many a time freedom has been rolled back - and always for the same sorry reason: fear. Molly Ivins I think if you come from a history of persecution you have to develop a sense of humour. Sacha Baron Cohen I believe celebrity spoils people - some worse than others. Phi

worked as a babysitter for a woman who, the first time we met, said she didn't want somebody in high school. I was 22. Later, I realised that in certain places being female and looking 'young' meant it was more difficult to be taken seriously, so I turned to make-up. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie You know you're old when you've lost all your marvels. Mary Browne Sometimes some of these little side excursions are useful and I manage to fit them in the book somewhere. Jack Vance The Vatican takes your breath away. Joe Elliott If you just go out there and run 100 miles, it breaks down a lot of barriers in terms of self-imposed limitations. Dean Karnazes After a lifetime of losing and gaining weight, I get it. No matter how you slice it, weight loss comes down to the simple formula of calories in, calories out. Valerie Bertinelli People don't trust private health insurance companies for all the right reasons. Bernie Sanders My first civil disobedienc

art as a career choice; they simply can't overcome their desire to make art, and will live on little income for as long as they have to, before they start to sell their work - or give up and get a paying job. Charles Saatchi The image we have of bin Laden in his final years in Abbottabad is of an aging man with a graying beard watching old footage of himself; just another suburban dad flipping though the channels with his remote. Peter L. Bergen The federal government has never created one job that is sustainable long term. It creates government project work but not creating real work where people are. Michael Steele Many children's writers don't have children of their own. Mark Haddon This is my future and I will take personal responsibility for making sure all competition requirements are met. Kim Collins People look at me and look, but I do not care. Anna Held I have written a lot about snakes. There's something pretty primordial about it. Laurie A

rain en route, dashes along the road not to get wet or drenched. Once one takes it for granted that in rain he naturally gets wet, he can be in a tranquil frame of mind even when soaked to the skin. This lesson applies to everything. Yamamoto Tsunetomo I'm very good in math, and I'm a logical thinker. I don't get wrapped up in things or even wrapped up in myself. Alan C. Greenberg I went through a phase where I thought nostalgia was a bad thing. Dario Argento I am a sportsman and not a politician. I am a sportsman and will always remain one. I am not going to enter politics giving up cricket, which is my life. I will continue to play cricket. Sachin Tendulkar It's probably true that everyone has a book in them, although it may not be a very good one. Wilbur Smith The question is what I wanted to do with the new life God has given me. This is the mission I want to take on. Billy Tauzin The moment in between what you once were, and who you are now becomi

that, without being some old git who hates anything new, people's attention spans are too short. Back then you had 'Top Of The Pops' and 'Melody Maker,' and you had to make the effort to go to a show so that you absorbed the culture of music. Steve Jones Of course great politicians are always liable to be wrong about something, and the more people tell them they are wrong, the more stubbornly they defend their error. Ferdinand Mount Sexism, like racism, goes with us into the next century. I see class warfare as overshadowing both. Constance Baker Motley People don't want to give up their SUVs. They don't want to turn the thermostat down in the winter and up in the summer. Ed Begley, Jr. All the real work is done in the rehearsal period. Donald Pleasence I would like to have directed Hollywood musicals in the '40s and '50s. Matthew Bourne You can grow without destroying the things that you love. Ed McMahon I hate the polo collar.

platform as Wal-Mart and Dell. They're just not restrained by it. What is al Qaeda? It's an open source religious political movement that works off the global supply chain. That's what we're up against in Iraq. We're up against a suicide supply chain. Thomas Friedman Plot is not my forte. It's like I have to live in my head in the book for a while before I figure out what the story is... My process is a bit messier. Erin Morgenstern For people who are really talented, what you don't say becomes extremely important. You have to judge what to say and what to leave alone so you can let the talent develop. Itzhak Perlman A lost election can have the jolt of a drop through the gallows door, leading to a dark night of the soul in which the future presses down like a cloud that will never lift. James Wolcott I didn't have a choice growing up but to be more insecure because others had more. Shania Twain I love mixing with comedians when I'm wo

I just loved it. And I had a friend in high school and we would just laugh all day and put on skits. You know, it's the Andy Kaufman thing or the Marty Short thing where you're performing in your bedroom for yourself. Steve Martin I used to psych myself up before the show and now I do the complete opposite: I psych myself down. It's 12:30 at night, you don't want some guy yelling at you. You want some guy just talking to you. Craig Ferguson At present, financial crises occur, chiefly because the paper currency is redeemable in gold only. John Buchanan Robinson We are all human beings with our own little knick-knacks and ways of doing things. Bernhard Langer I started skydiving because I loved the idea of freedom. Felix Baumgartner It's a falsehood to state that francophone communities are thriving. Gilles Duceppe I think it's a part of us as human beings that we search outside of ourselves for meaning. Nick Cave How we express ourselves in w

in the New Testament, not by Jesus, but by Paul, that say women should not adorn themselves, they should always wear hats or color their hair in church - things like that - I think they are signs of the times and should not apply to modern-day life. Jimmy Carter The terrorists who committed the 2003 Istanbul attacks were locals, that is, Turks. And when filmmaker Theo van Gogh was murdered in the Netherlands last year, the murderer and his supporters were also part of the Muslim community. Otto Schily My mother was 45 when she had me, so when I was in high school my parents were the same age as my friends' grandparents. Jack White The Senate needs 60 votes to pass anything. They have to compromise with liberal Democrats to spend more money. Even though arguably we have control of the Senate, we really don't. Steve Chabot I love meeting new people; I think everyone has a story to tell. We should all listen sometimes. Kim Smith I've seen many actors go awry by

I mean, they - and what they fund and what they do, they don't really - they don't fund the small non-profit community-based organizations that really are out there on the front lines helping people. They fund the big philanthropies. They're safe. Rick Santorum From a moral point of view, there is no excuse for terrorist acts, regardless of the motive or the situation under which they are carried out. Jurgen Habermas Donnie Brasco was great, but the energy on the set made it kinda hard to get in there and have an opinion. Gretchen Mol Mind is everything. Muscle - pieces of rubber. All that I am, I am because of my mind. Paavo Nurmi The word actress has always seemed less a job description to me than a title. Gene Tierney You've got to enjoy time with your family and friends, and if you're involved in sports franchises, those peak moments in playoff games. You have to enjoy life. Paul Allen Science is basically an inoculation against charlatans. Ne

which have been at the core of this Republic, are about to be evaporated by the nuclear option. The checks and balances that say if you get 51% of the vote, you don't get your way 100% of the time. It is amazing, it's almost a temper tantrum. Chuck Schumer One of the smartest things you can do on 'Chopped' is to take one of those ingredients and make a pickle out of it, because almost every dish benefits from that. I'm feeling like those intuitions are becoming more natural. Ted Allen Let me show you how it's done... Loser! Babe Ruth I'm in touch with the social networks and stuff. Fred Durst In England, I've never really had a problem with racism. Didier Drogba But take comfort in that I die at peace with the world and myself - not afraid. Robert Falcon Scott When I think about the songs I might record, I ask myself, 'Can I picture anybody I know back home sitting in their truck cranking this up?' Blake Shelton I have six si

drought, fire, flood, acid mud and human action over many decades. In the rescues and the cleanups and the long hauls, I see the same attitude over and again. People just rally and get on with it. Quentin Bryce Greenhouse gas pollution, through its contribution to global climate change, presents a significant threat to Americans' health and to the environment upon which our economy and security depends. Gina McCarthy Nothing is inevitable until it happens. A. J. P. Taylor The Democratic Party went far to the left, I think, and left some of us stranded on the beach, so we went to the Republican Party. Pat Robertson Growing up in Hollywood it seemed like every kid was the child of some star. Liza Minnelli I was painfully initiated into boxing, because the guys I fought were a lot bigger than me. Sugar Ray Leonard I wouldn't go back and be 25 again for all the tea in China. Minnie Driver I wasn't a very discriminating reader. I read just about everything t

of an image left about twins, whose father was telling them how their lives were going to go for the next eight years. I wrote a scene about that, and then another and then another and then another, and after five months I had 732 pages. Tamora Pierce An example is often a deceptive mirror, and the order of destiny, so troubling to our thoughts, is not always found written in things past. Pierre Corneille People can dress you the way they want, they can do your makeup the way they want, but they can never take away your voice. Sasha Grey I usually tell people I watch like '24' and 'Prison Break.' Hope Solo But the business side of it, as with most creative things, there is no room for business. It is about art. It's not about marketing. Warren Cuccurullo Almost everyone's instinct is to be overconfident and read way too much into a hot or cold streak. Nate Silver The Engineer Corps is charged with all construction, including light railways and

relatively structured tasks, and those are the jobs that are being eliminated the fastest. Those kinds of jobs are easier for our friends in the artificial intelligence community to design robots to handle them. They could be software robots; they could be physical robots. Erik Brynjolfsson I like writing on piano and a computer, and a lot of 'Plans' came out of samples and vocal lines. Ben Gibbard Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears. Albert Camus I presumed the president was being truthful until a series of events undercut that confidence. Bob Graham The fact is that Americans were sent to Russia that have not been returned. Bo Gritz The studios knew how to build a star, and they knew what to do with you. They also taught you everything. Claire Trevor I look up to Mick Jagger because he's an amazing performer and he's such an individual. I respect him and admire him eternally. Victoria Justice When you meet the love of your life,

or not. But I sang at school, I sang at parties, I sang at church. Everyone always asked me to sing. I'd be playing football with my friends, and my parents would ask me to sing for their guests. I was never very happy about that because I wanted to play football. Andrea Bocelli Victorious living does not mean freedom from temptation, nor does it mean freedom from mistakes. E. Stanley Jones People are complicated. Our behavior towards one another is strange. So I like opportunities to investigate that. Michael Fassbender Any Southern nationalist movement, especially one that wraps itself in the Confederate flag, is going to be viewed with suspicion, given the historical record. John Shelton Reed In fact, the socialization gives us the tools to fill our evolutionary roles. They are our building blocks. Warren Farrell I don't know who decided that skinny was more appealing than not skinny. It seems arbitrary. Gwyneth Paltrow Empathy is a virtue, but it should no

and shouldn'ts and can'ts and wants that can be so chronic and familiar it becomes a kind of feminine Muzak, easy to dismiss, or to tune out altogether, even if you're actively participating in it. Caroline Knapp I think the American government is now the most corrupt government in the world. Ginger Baker Injuries are a huge thing for skating. I think skating is a very unnatural sport for the body, very tough on the joints. Patrick Chan If you want to be an actor, you need to learn how to act first, even in sketch comedy. Nicole Sullivan You actually don't want people thinking your product is cool, because then you're a fad. Sean Parker Man lives for science as well as bread. William James No simplicity of mind, no obscurity of station, can escape the universal duty of questioning all that we believe. William Kingdon Clifford Even as fog continues to lie in the valleys, so does ancient sin cling to the low places, the depressions in the world co

page through the old calendar, inking annual events into the new one, all the while watching my year in 'dinner withs' skate by. When I'm done, I save the old calendar in the box of the new one and put it with the others on a shelf. Sloane Crosley I loved the opportunity to just transform my voice. I loved the idea of doing impressions and mimicking and playing around with the spectrum of your own voice. That's what I enjoy most about doing voice-overs. Justin Long It stands, essentially, for the application of increased energy to the efforts already undertaken by my ministry since 1934 with the results shown in the above statistics. Hjalmar Schacht My life's experiences, I've always had, my uncle used to call it antenna. I know what's going to happen oftentimes before it happened when it's involving me. Terrence Howard Of course, you always give 100 percent, but at a home race you're always more motivated, simply because you feel at home

are stubborn enough to embrace failure, and if you happen to fall into the narrow categories that the book market recognizes, then you might make a little money. Otherwise, it's a struggle. A gorgeous struggle. Jess Walter Man differs more from Man, than Man from Beast. John Wilmot Everything changes and, somewhere along the line, I'm changing with it. Eric Burdon I believe Facebook is going all the way. They're going to reach a billion members and will be the biggest company in the world. It will be a platform everyone goes on the Internet through. Ben Mezrich I don't have a lavish lifestyle with expensive cars. Donny Osmond I felt that a number of people might have questioned my loyalty, but I continue to be a patriotic American. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar One can only hope the person you love will make you the best version of yourself. Mia Maestro Twitter does have an effect on everything - things you put out there, they are out there for good. Donald

life in desert. You can tell by looking at the dirt how long ago it rained, how hard it rained, how much water came through. You can by looking at a plant, a tree, from an animal's look. I can read the desert like I read my hand. Waris Dirie A knowledge of the forces that rule society, of the causes that have produced its upheavals, and of society's resources for promoting healthy progress has become of vital concern to our civilization. Wilhelm Dilthey I definitely know that I play the part, however big or small, in the deaths of at least two people, Chris Farley and Phil Hartmann. Andy Dick Success in the United States is not an entitlement in China. You have to go there and earn it, and earn it the right way. Howard Schultz I don't know what other people are like, I haven't been able to crawl inside anybody else. Iris Dement If our subconscious was attractive, we wouldn't have to bury it down deep within us. Douglas Coupland It's always a th

at hand. And then I'll go through phases of wearing the same thing again and again and again - and my wardrobe is mainly about black and white, so it goes together. I'll play with certain elements, but I don't really think about it too much. Daphne Guinness I just liked the idea of being engaged. Belinda Carlisle You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you have never had the courage to commit. Oscar Wilde The only guaranteed way to make something not very funny is to make it vague. Thomas Lennon I think I wanted to write a book about the relationship between the victim and perpetrator in which the victim agrees to remain silent. Darrell Hammond If I could have a special power in real life I'd love to fly. Ali Larter Fools, most linguists. Damn all to say in one language, so they learn another and say damn all in that. John le Carre When I'm good I'm very, very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better. Mae West Muc

failures and tragedies. I wish I had been re-elected. I think I could have kept our country at peace. I think I could have consolidated what we achieved at Camp David with a treaty between Israel and the Palestinians. Jimmy Carter My father didn't think running was sensible. He told me running is just wasting time. Haile Gebrselassie Being able to improvise is the basis for creating all characters and situations, for everything to do with performing, really. And it's good therapy as well. Chris Kattan Change begets change as much as repetition reinforces repetition. Bill Drayton Yoga is a life-saver. Ione Skye I am a woman, therefore I am a problem solver. Roseanne Barr Writing a play, you have to retain it all in your head - you need more time. With prose, you can snatch an hour here, an hour there. Nell Leyshon I haven't strength of mind not to need a career. Ruth Benedict It is essential that we provide the best possible care for our wounded and d

It is a way of funding your business and to finance growth. Plus: You have more liquid shares. It is easier to leave the company and redeem your shares. The 'going public' may also be an exit strategy for the top management. Marc Rich Eventually I want to be a full-time mother who works occasionally - and being an actor you have that freedom. Carrie-Anne Moss I feel like I'm making a difference. I feel like putting out a message for young girls to follow your dreams and just work at what you want to do and be yourself. Willow Smith I learned everything about fashion during my time at the 'NY Times.' George Kotsiopoulos The best part about being alone is that you really don't have to answer to anybody. You do what you want. Justin Timberlake We Latins are known for jabbering on. Eduardo Galeano With my daughter, we do arts and crafts, we read a lot, we listen to music, and we cut the strings off balloons and bounce them around after birthday par

the first thing she did on Sunday mornings when she started cooking a daylong meal was to take a big block of lard from the back of the refrigerator and throw it into the pan. I know how Hispanics buy their food, and it is not always nutritious. Richard Carmona Human Nature is the only science of man; and yet has been hitherto the most neglected. David Hume I've had some crazy fan experiences, yeah. Crying girls, screaming girls, a lot of butt-grabbing. Bronson Pelletier I think we musicians are emissaries. Every time we go before the public, we're there to make converts. Hazel Scott I came up with American Splendor. Some people think it's American Squalor. Harvey Pekar Intimidation doesn't last very long. Lenny Wilkens My ambitions were already very clearly fixed by the time I was 6 or 7. Joshua Lederberg But the reality is that we are a folk band. Amy Ray My parents are retired, basically. Shia LaBeouf

try to diminish and disgrace you. It can happen in small ways in hidden places, or in big ways on a world stage. You can spend a lifetime resenting the tests, angry about the slights and the injustices. Or, you can rise above it. Carly Fiorina For whatever reason I tend to get roles that are more damaged. Kathleen Robertson I'm over-industrious, so I don't feel quite such a deviant in America as I did in England. Niall Ferguson I used this line to demonstrate how important colors are in movies: It's not a caprice. Pedro Almodovar Women know when they've got the menopause but men don't quite know. They know it afterwards. Omar Sharif It's been a struggle for me because I had a chance to be white and refused. Richard Pryor I'm an artist; I love everyone. Chris Zylka I'd do almost anything for love, within safe boundaries. Brittany Murphy Women are not inherently passive or peaceful. Robin Morgan

me to have something on my resume that was real and then the producers of 'Guiding Light' let me play a preppy killer just the following month. Suddenly I had two gigs on my resume that made me look like a real actor, although I was far from it. Michael Weatherly When you can imagine you begin to create and when you begin to create you realize that you can create a world that you prefer to live in, rather than a world that you're suffering in. Ben Okri Had the followers of Jesus remained an obscure Jewish sect, most of you would not have learned to read, and the rest of you would be reading from hand-copied scrolls. Rodney Stark Flames from the lips may be produced by holding in the mouth a sponge saturated with the purest gasoline. Harry Houdini First, we did rank everybody by risk, and New York comes out number one. Michael Chertoff When we had to do book reports, I would pick a book that no one read and just make it up and turn that in. I got praised for m

us - so many things are being sold to us, and we're being told how we should appear and how to be more successful, blah, blah, blah. How does that manifest itself? In the pressures, the stress, this need to escape. Michael Fassbender I don't relax very well, and I find it hard to sit still. Bobbi Brown As everyone else, I was a fan of Pink Floyd in the sixties. Klaus Schulze Mr. Obama still has time to reverse course. A great deal depends on it. To fail on health care yet again might well be the 'Waterloo' Republicans dream of. Thomas Frank I played rugby most of my life and then I switched to snowboarding, which provided me a lot of inspiration. Charlie Bewley If you enjoy math and you write novels, it's very rare that you'll get a chance to put your math into a novel. I leapt at the chance. Mark Haddon Scepticism, that dry caries of the intelligence. Victor Hugo Like all parents, my husband and I just do the best we can, hold our breath an

hydrocarbons. Last year, 2007, the Bolivian state - after the nationalization, after changing the law - Bolivia received $1,930 million. For a small country with nearly 10 million inhabitants, this allows us to increase the national economy. Evo Morales Being second is to be the first of the ones who lose. Ayrton Senna The more she rejected us the more convinced I was that she was another version of the real Molly, her disdain for authority, her scepticism that she had to do what the white man told her because it was good for her... She is Molly. Phillip Noyce Goals are not only absolutely necessary to motivate us. They are essential to really keep us alive. Robert H. Schuller You can put me in the basement or the penthouse; it doesn't matter to me. Davy Jones I have always used the world of make-believe with a certain desperation. Ruth Benedict I wasn't at all sure I could make that sort of leap into that sort of comic book reality. Terence Stamp There'

resisting the exploitation of those fears by political parties, lobbies and sectors of the media. To meet this challenge, Muslims must reassess their own involvement, behavior and contributions in American society. Tariq Ramadan Sorry Day falls on the eve of Reconciliation Week, giving us the chance to ask whether we are making progress in the wider challenge of reconciling Indigenous and other Australians. Malcolm Fraser As a piece of literacy criticism, Freud's best writing is about Dostoyevsky. It's a kind of displaced literacy criticism. Dennis Potter Yet the whole preamble of the second authorization act for the Marshall Plan showed the direction Congress was ready to take about breaking down barriers within Europe. W. Averell Harriman Male supremacy is fused into the language, so that every sentence both heralds and affirms it. Andrea Dworkin Robert Taylor was not only a splendid actor in a wide variety of roles but one of the most handsome men in the weste

your work is more important than you as a person is a horrible, horrible message. I always think about a little gay boy in Wisconsin or a little lesbian in Arkansas seeing someone like me, and if I cannot be open in my life, how on earth can they? Alan Cumming I tried the Atkins diet in the Seventies when pregnant with my son, as I didn't want to pile on the pounds. Now, so long as I'm healthy, I don't care what my scales say. Britt Ekland There are no black conservatives. Oh, there are neoconservatives with black skin, but they lack any claim to blackness other than the biological. They have forgotten their roots. Stephen Carter For me it's also - the music is equally as important. I mean I think as somebody who writes music, there just has to sort of be the marriage between both. Katey Sagal We closed the restaurant in New Orleans and brought the entire staff to San Francisco. But we had to go home. Paul Prudhomme You want to defend citizenship? Don'

through generation after generation. From an evolutionary point of view, you and I are like the booster rockets designed to send the genetic payload into the next level of orbit and then drop off into the sea. Harvey V. Fineberg Everything in the world can be changed, my dear Florestan, but the human being. Friedrich Durrenmatt May we soon enjoy the fruits of our labor in a peaceful and united Germany. Walter Ulbricht I definitely want to keep working in Ireland, and without being too worthy about it, if it's possible to bring work into the country, that's no harm. Chris O'Dowd I don't like fancy fiddly girlie stuff. Simon Baker I believe it's time that women truly owned their superpowers and used their beauty and strength to change the world around them. Janelle Monae Directing is a really kind of amazing thing, because you're helping others and, in the middle of that, you have to worry about yourself. Philip Seymour Hoffman I like a man wh

think it's possible. I think that men like women. It doesn't really matter what they do - they love anything. But women don't necessarily like every woman, so I think that's a challenge to get the female audience to not only relate to you but also like you. Maggie Q The stigma that was once attached to things society deemed unhealthy served the purpose of making them undesirable. With the stigma gone, many people see little reason not to do whatever feels good at the moment. Gary Bauer I knew there were a lot of friends out there, and I wanted to be with them. Ekaterina Gordeeva Al Qaeda still remains a threat. Leon Panetta I hate those e-books. They cannot be the future. They may well be. Maurice Sendak I wish I could say I see my little brother more. We used to fight all the time but now that I don't see him very often I cherish the time I have with him. Zac Efron I am very lucky and grateful to have this living link to a past era, the violin pre

attitude, taciturn air, courteous disposition, thoroughly polite bearing, gritted teeth with a piercing look - each of these reveals dignity. Such outward appearance, in short, comes from constant attentiveness and seriousness. Yamamoto Tsunetomo This circus games aspect has existed since the beginning of my career. Placido Domingo I have absolutely no plans and no expectations of ever being a candidate again. Al Gore If you're going to have to beg them to play, it's not going to work. Chuck Daly Columbus did not seek a new route to the Indies in response to a majority directive. Milton Friedman I've cried over string arrangements. Janelle Monae I think I've definitely had my rock bottom and I think that was probably right before I went into treatment where I said, 'I definitely need help.' Demi Lovato Don't get me wrong, I love my first two albums a lot. Miranda Lambert The only people who ever called me a rebel were people who wante

people. And you know what? In my case, I didn't experience any of that, probably because the way I treated them. I was like, 'Okay, what do you want to know?' So I kept going back to their offices on a regular basis. Hasan M. Elahi For a decade or more after the Vietnam war, the people who had guided the U.S. to disaster decently shrank from the public stage. James Fallows I learned more about acting from George Stevens in a few months than I had in my entire life up until then. Alan Ladd You never came home for lunch: you just stayed doing, playing, having fun, surfing, running round. Diane Cilento Magic's about understanding - and then manipulating - how viewers digest the sensory information. Teller You can't go wrong with fish and chips. Michael Sandel I often have deer on my property and there's a fox and owls. You're not going to see that in the city. Billy Corgan Politics has become entertainment. Joe Eszterhas Those who claim

these bills out,' but that movie never came. That black pride, I said, 'Man, I'm going to hang in there, I'm going to pay these bills.' So you owe a million dollars. 'I can pay that.' OK, fines, fees, now you owe two and a half million. 'But I didn't do nothin'!' Sinbad Kyle Baker's work is really funny, but it's also got a very clear vision. Bill Sienkiewicz As long as God lets me live, I want to do things that make a difference in the world besides play music. Randy Owen A kid who moves is a kid who learns. Richard Simmons There's no explanation for success. Success just comes out of life. Meat Loaf You are Americans. You love this country. Together we are entrusted with the principles that represent mankind's greatest political and social achievement. Paul Tsongas If I swim in the ocean, I have a shark thought. Not a bad one, but just a little one. Tea Leoni Raw lobster tail, freeze dried, is amazing.

need to add a Hollywood ending. If they do make that movie, it's got to be 'The Curious Case Of Jenson Button,' where I've lived my life backwards. I'd like Johnny Depp to play me but he wouldn't be quite right. Jenson Button I was in a band called the valentines and they broke up last week. Bon Scott Well, one of the best things is workin' with Muddy. Johnny Winter Religion, to me, is a bureaucracy between man and God that I don't need. Bill Maher Gay marriage is going to happen. It must. Lady Gaga I'm very disappointed in my country right now, because I think we've kind of lost our moral compass. Billy Corgan I became somewhat reclusive during a period of time in the '80s. Corey Hart I like things in their proper places. Alan Sugar As a kid, I knew all of the dinosaurs. It's one of those tragedies that I've forgotten what dinosaurs are cool. Matt Smith

insurance industry that has killed health reform for generations. They're spending tens of millions of dollars right now to defeat this bill, and we're on the doorstep of winning a great victory for the American people. David Axelrod The wonderful thing about a book is that you have a canvas that is 300 pages wide, and it's all free space. You can make a piece of art as big as you want and whatever shape you want. Stephan Pastis I spent many years trying to write a lot like Ben Folds or John Lennon or Rivers Cuomo. I think that's healthy when you're learning to write and seeing how chords fit together and how songs take shape. Andrew Dost Music is a part of my life all the time - on the plane, before matches, driving out to the court. Maria Sharapova Anybody that you put on TV five hours a week is at some point is going to say something stupid. Rosie O'Donnell I have seen the Raiders develop into what they are today. Jim Otto You'll go out

have acted properly and swiftly to recall contaminated goods, the delay between the identification of tainted foods and the company's decision to recall those foods leads to the needless sickness of too many Americans. Diana DeGette 'Harry Potter' created a generation of readers in an era when kids could have disappeared into the depths of the Internet. That's no small feat. Every book series owes J.K. Rowling a debt of gratitude. Gary Ross I don't mind being stereotyped in some way and playing certain kinds of guys, but if I can find something to occasionally get a break from that, that would be nice. And I feel like I manage to. Paul Giamatti For us, sons of France, political sentiment is a passion; while, for the Englishmen, politics are a question of business. Wilfrid Laurier I don't know why we work, my husband and I. We just do. We are black and white - yin and yang. Heidi Klum There was a time when I was in this private school and the kids

it's just your temperament, you happen to be just a cheerful sort of person' - what I wanted to do was to establish that in fact it is the pessimists who are allowing all kinds of errors to creep into their work. Colin Wilson People talk about 'getting rid of the old image', and I guess there's some merit in that. But the truth is that people loved 'The Wonder Years' - I can't turn my back on it. Danica McKellar The nature of how we are as human beings is that we're much more interested in being critical rather than praising something. Ellie Goulding I think Hillary Clinton could do whatever she puts her mind to. I really do. She's incredibly dedicated to public service, she is smart as a whip, and she's effective. Kamala Harris I just really don't like being the center of attention that much. It's kind of ironic. Jimmy Fallon The difficulty of IVF or of any fertility issues is the hope and the shattered hope, the dream

what I'm trying to say and I'll think about that for a couple of days until it's all locked in and then when I get to an instrument it'll just fall out. But the song's kind of all ready there in my head. Graham Russell I grew up in a tough neighborhood and we used to say you can get further with a kind word and a gun than just a kind word. David Mamet I built the ideal house down in the Caribbean. All Englishmen dream of leaving the rain of England and getting a place in the sun - out in the grounds with separate guest houses; that is the ideal scenario. Robin Leach We can never, ever say it enough: every woman - especially every young woman-has to take charge of her health... and do what's right for her! Debbie Wasserman Schultz I think if actors are successful at one thing, they paint themselves into a corner sometimes, and what's the fun in that? Peter Dinklage I have my life on a track that I want it on, and I don't want to get off. K

it to a corporate type of hip hop. They decided to tell everybody 'Well, this is what hip hop is,' instead of coming back to the pioneers and getting the true definition of what hip hop is and what it was and what we been pushing for all these years. Afrika Bambaataa When you have a problem, rules don't solve your problem. It's caring and education. Jim Brown I've kind of looked at my whole career as a spring training invite. Jamie Moyer We can't take any credit for our talents. It's how we use them that counts. Madeleine L'Engle But I don't sit down and think: this is meant for children. Dick Bruna And I'm in favor of that because I have a gay son, who's a very successful theater designer. Robert MacNeil America stopped making vinyl and phased out the single but Germany held out and refused. Warner's never phased out vinyl in Germany. Now America imports it! Peter Hook I had low self-esteem. I just really wanted atte

me, and he had some bling on and whatever, and said something about a party down in Malibu and asked if I would jump in his car and go to the party. All I could think was, 'Who are you? I don't know you, and I don't care about how good your car is.' Yvonne Strahovski I believe that you are only in control of so much. So whatever you are not in control of you can't worry about. Elizabeth Olsen Chance determines our lives in important ways. Gerhard Richter Our rate moves will have an impact on the economy in 2013. Whether we raise or lower rates depends on how the economic situation develops. Marek Belka Most times we would make more money in the tip boxes - they called it - than we were getting paid. Little Milton There's no reason that just because you're a celebrity you can't write. Gloria Estefan The Englishman never enjoys himself except for a noble purpose. A. P. Herbert I think that we should all be defined by our work and our r

or have some sense of whimsy or a personality. Your home should reflect who you are, and what you love. I would never have something in my home because it's the thing to have. I have to love it and it needs some connection to me. Bryan Batt I don't have a tolerance for long meetings. I generally expect to get things over with quickly. Chris Liddell Flying is such a joy. You just want to hoot. Cathy Rigby The aggressive, unprovoked acts of violence against Israel by Hezbollah and Hamas are revealing. It is clear they don't want peace, but rather seek the ultimate destruction of Israel. John Boehner I get about five memoirs per week in my mailbox, and few of them inspire anything but a desire to pick up the channel changer. Mary Karr I'm a very simple person. I'm very shallow. Shallow, simple, easily pleased: that's me. Rita Rudner Martha Stewart contributes more to our civility than the Baptist church. Dave Hickey I can't imagine God not

and people who have made timely payments are not exempt. So even if you pay off your balance - and that's tough when interest rates are insanely high - there's a good chance your credit limit will be slashed, and that will hurt your FICO score. Suze Orman One of the reasons why fundamentalists are so aggressive in trying to promote fundamentalism is because deep down they know it's arbitrary. If you're comfortable with your belief you don't need to convince other people to agree with you. Moby I like being able to walk into an old town and find good local food. Sienna Miller Living with one woman is horrific. John McAfee I thought, this is a good sign. There's something perfect and right about this. Jeff Goldblum Paul Butterfield and I had a band together at one point. Rick Danko Tina Turner is someone that I admire, because she made her strength feminine and sexy. Beyonce Knowles Surely no child should fear his own father - especially a pri

that if we give more money to the poor, they have a propensity to consume that's much higher than the wealthy, though I wish they would talk to my wife about that; she seems to have a propensity to consume. Myron Scholes We're talking about being relevant again. I want the Sixers to be on people's tongues again... I want the Sixers to be the basketball team that people want to see. Doug Collins With a painting, you don't have to go back and paint it again. Joni Mitchell I mean the terrorists are - are like a pimple, like a boil. They'll go away. Pat Robertson Kids need to see their world reflected back to them. Lauren Myracle I loved the Brazilian music I played. But this is finally me. For the first time I think it's really me. Herbie Mann In Hinduism, conscience, reason and independent thinking have no scope for development. B. R. Ambedkar The 'Libertarian' thing was a mistake on my part for saying it, but I am. Joseph J. Lhota

I'm really stressed out, I can take it out on my body and hurt myself. Sometimes I need to be as loving and soft with myself as possible. I've had to learn how to pay attention. It's a kind of mind-set. Lisa Edelstein I was born in Dallas, Texas, but I was raised in south Florida. 'Ice Ice Baby' is about that area. Vanilla Ice My marriage had been impulsive. That marriage should have been short-lived instead of the 23 years it spanned. Joseph Barbera A crazy man finishes in the cemetery. Juan Manuel Fangio Loss means losing what was we want to change but we don't want to lose. Without time for loss, we don't have time for soul. James Hillman In addition to serving overseas, the Peace Corps' Crisis Corps Volunteers have helped their fellow Americans. Solomon Ortiz There's no reason to hold yourself back and say you can't do something in life unless you go for it and try to do it. Russell Westbrook Starting that union was somet

how I got my agent. Some people said 'ooh it's old hat' and 'too risky'. Some people think she's all about the narrative and thriller aspect at the expense of character and I disagree. I did it anyway and it worked well. Thomas Howes Manners is the key thing. Say, for instance, when you're growing up, you're walking down the street, you've got to tell everybody good morning. Everybody. You can't pass one person. Usain Bolt The relation of the individual person to the species he belongs to is the most intimate of all relations. Havelock Ellis I over-think stuff a lot. Julian Casablancas I want my home to look good, feel good, and smell good. I want it to be inclusive, to reflect the people who live there. Cindy Crawford Our original idea was to help three or four hundred candidates in the first election run for the Ohio State legislature and the California legislature around the country. Pete du Pont Tragedy delights by affording

hoping that someone wants to hire me for a job, too, but I've certainly seen films like 'Orphan' and movies like that where I know that if I had had the opportunity to read that script or had an opportunity to do it, I would have wanted to do it. Jennifer Morrison When it comes to serious cuts to major programs like Medicaid, the American people are not calling for leadership but magic. They want cuts with no pain. Juan Williams You can't grow long-term if you can't eat short-term. Anybody can manage short. Anybody can manage long. Balancing those two things is what management is. Jack Welch Also, I just think of Draco and he gets me in the right mood. He just keeps getting worse and worse. Tom Felton As a free person, I ought to be allowed if I'm dying to take something. John Stossel You are a person of the greatest importance when you are a mother of a family. Just do your job right and your kids will love you. Ethel Waters Plays close, movie

couldn't really live through the '80s without feeling how crass and distasteful some of the economic doctrines were. The slave trade is a perfect model for that kind of total devotion to the profit motive without reckoning the human consequences. Barry Unsworth When I hear music that parents hate, or older musicians hate, I know that's the new music. When I hear older people saying, 'I hate Rap or Techno' I rush to it. George Clinton If you wait for the perfect moment when all is safe and assured, it may never arrive. Mountains will not be climbed, races won, or lasting happiness achieved. Maurice Chevalier I'm not a 9-to-5 woman who has the same kind of lifestyle for years on end. I couldn't do it. Christina Aguilera I loved fantasy role play. Curt Schilling I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary. Billy Joel I was not the popular kid in school. Gabriel Iglesias I don't wa

where America protected Asia. It was sort of an extension of World War II. And it was, of course, the peak of the Cold War. People in Taiwan were generally proAmerican. The Korean War made Japan. And then the Vietnam War made Taiwan. There is some truth to that. Ang Lee The U.N. acts as the world's conscience, and over eighty-five percent of the work that is done by the United Nations is in the social, economic, educational and cultural fields. Shirley Temple Works of art often last forever, or nearly so. But exhibitions themselves, especially gallery exhibitions, are like flowers; they bloom and then they die, then exist only as memories, or pressed in magazines and books. Jerry Saltz Mum doesn't like it when I mention that Dad's a better cook than her. He was born in Spain and spent eight years in Portugal and is exceptional at lots of cuisines. Paloma Faith Children don't make judgments about which details are important... a child captures them all. Rohi

sucked. Then, senior year, someone got gum in her hair when we were dancing. She had to get one of the chaperones to take her to the office and cut up her hair. I felt really bad for her, but it worked out fine. James Lafferty Clearly there are individuals who don't understand what the church teaches, or they think it's so limiting. William P. Leahy I didn't know what the hell Charlie Parker was playing... I just liked the way he played. Charlie Watts No place is better than Akron. LeBron James Women have the same privileges and opportunities as men, given the New Testament. Tony Campolo We'd never expect to understand a piece of music on one listen, but we tend to believe we've read a book after reading it just once. Ali Smith I'm a legend in this sport. If you don't believe me, ask me. Bobby Heenan The hardest part of acting is not when I'm acting, It's when I'm not. Dakota Goyo I'd better be on the road, or I'll

I'll never forget it. It was at a festival in Bremen. The German audience went berserk and the reviews were a phenomenon. For some reason the German audience understood how technically challenging this music was; it wasn't just someone yelling their head off. Meredith Monk I suddenly find out that I'm 60, and I get shocked by the number, because I feel like I'm 20. Ursula Andress I've sung other people's music all my life. Adam Lambert Creating a character and living truthfully through her is a whole different ball game. It's all part of the same person but it's a much newer medium for me. Taylor Dane My dad is a good dad. Mindy McCready I just feel energized when I am around young, talented people. There is something about these kids that's amazing. I learn as much from them as they do from me. Sally Struthers The drums tell me everything. Everything else registers a millisecond later. Adam Clayton It's not psychopathology t

have a zombie on one side of a chain link fence and you could be on the other side and they could be trying to get to you and six feet down could be an open door and they will not go through that door in the fence. That's why they're so scary. Max Brooks When I was a kid growing up, my dad being a football coach, he asked the same question of all the assistants that he ever hired: 'Is your goal to be a head football coach?' Chuck Pagano It is exhausting knowing that most of the time the phone rings, most of the time there's an email, most of the time there's a letter, someone wants something of you. Stephen Fry You can't help but... with 20/20 hindsight, go back and say, 'Look, had we done something different, we probably wouldn't be facing what we are facing today.' Norman Schwarzkopf I was going to live on my salary or go down swinging. Gene Tierney The planned sit-down reception is an artificial forum where one is presented with

thirty it's more about whether he a nice person and does he open the door for me. Once you turn thirty-five, it's more about would he make a good father. And even if you're just liking somebody and digging on someone, I think you can't help but think in those terms. Rashida Jones I am far from perfect, but I have something else. I heard that people in the industry are longing for more personality and diversity. Perhaps I am more a 'character' than a model. Saskia de Brauw Rationalism is the enemy of art, though necessary as a basis for architecture. Arthur Erickson Writers have opinions - that, in part, is why they write. Therefore they have strong likes and dislikes. Frank Delaney My system for staying young is to work a lot, to always have a project on the go. Carlos Fuentes What one discovers in life, I find, is that one's personality defects don't come and go. Lynne Truss There's only so far you can take a relationship before yo

there every day. Dunkin' Donuts is using Twitter to communicate with those people. There are people who are finding value in that. There's thousands of people, I don't know how many thousands now, following Dunkin' Donuts. Evan Williams Most of my friends from college became dental hygienists or went into retail, a lot went into sales. They all started getting married and having kids and buying homes and I was still living like a college student. Patricia Heaton I think people love to attach themselves to the idea of an overnight success. That may be true about me. Darren Criss By definition, I believe I am unapologetically optimistic and I am unapologetically earnest. Emilio Estevez I hate violence, yes I do. It's kind of a dilemma, huh?. Jackie Chan I break up very well. I am a good breaker-upper. Simon Cowell I have dated all races, and I believe you should be free to do whatever you want. Sanaa Lathan Women don't take care of themselves

if you're in Paris, right outside your window is the Eiffel Tower. In Egypt, the pyramids are right there. In the movies, every hotel has a monument right outside your window. My hotel rooms overlook the garbage dumpster in the back alley. Gilbert Gottfried Why not show off if you've got something to show? January Jones I would return to the Blackadder character if the opportunity came up. I have no qualms about that at all. Rowan Atkinson There is a significant momentum behind the social Internet. A wide range of public investors were very enthusiastic about that. Yuri Milner Do not worry about avoiding temptation. As you grow older it will avoid you. Joey Adams And my response is 70,000 people in the state of Maine that paid income tax in 2011 will not be paying income tax in 2012. Paul LePage It is a temptation for me to wear all my rings at once. Anna Held I received a D.Sc. from the University of London in 1992. J. Philippe Rushton When you reminisc

get better economically and socially. You can build those community-grown opportunities for the kids who've graduated from college to return home, to provide businesses and support things going on. It'll only happen through education. Denise Juneau Any time I'm in a moving thing, like an airplane, I'm usually asleep before we even get on our way. Garth Brooks The soprano turned out to sound to me like the right hand on the piano. Steve Lacy Affirmitive action is extremely complex because it appears in many different forms. Constance Baker Motley Holding auditions in front of an audience is testing. Simon Cowell On the other hand, the vast majority of all westernized countries, including every single European country along with Israel and Japan, do not offer birthright citizenship. Nathan Deal I'd like my writing to be recognized with a Grammy. Chely Wright It would be Beyonce Knowles, because we are around the same age and I think she sings very

charge a premium for supplying the whole set. Individual chairs, though, go for much lower prices, and if you carry around a reference photo of the chairs you want, you may be able to build up a cut-price collection, chair by chair. Judith Miller My normal routine is pretty much putting out fires all day. Vera Wang When my son was born, and after a day of lying-in I was told that I could leave the hospital and take him home, I burst into tears. It wasn't the emotion of the moment: it was shock and horror. Susan Orlean Everywhere the sky is blue. There are a multitude of cuisines and dishes. I think of them as the languages and dialects of food. Ferran Adria Love and war are the same thing, and stratagems and policy are as allowable in the one as in the other. Miguel de Cervantes It's really important for me to look good before a race. I definitely think if I feel I look good, it makes me feel more confident. Jessica Ennis I think every good song tells a story,

the direction of the United States. They had no desire to learn from the bardic tradition that continued in the barrios. Their ideal would have been to write something that would get them to Iowa, where they would study creative writing. James Fenton Think of social media as the Internet. I can't think of anyone betting against the Internet in 2012. Gary Vaynerchuk I was a different person before I started to write. When I realized I could be a songwriter and that people would listen - that was when I started feeling good in my life. Gwen Stefani Goals help you overcome short-term problems. Hannah More I have to get out once a week and speak with people or I start thinking I'm the emperor of Abyssinia. Graham Joyce Kids lead a very private life. Maurice Sendak Mortality is very different when you're 20 to when you're 50. Keanu Reeves To me, all war is failure for humanity, though it often is a bounty for commerce. Mark Edwards I told my mom I wou

who endorses an aggressive military, a role for religion in public life, laissez-faire economic policies, private ownership of guns and relaxed conditions for using them, less regulation and taxation, and a valorization of the traditional family. Steven Pinker You're put in certain situations and it kind of opens up those doors and it opens up your eyes to realize what your true calling was. Rico Love A good novel is worth more than the best scientific study. Saul Bellow And, of course, I'm constantly energized by designing courses around the world. Jack Nicklaus I always thought that was one of the single most important things a prosecutor could do is to seek justice for the families of victims. Nancy Grace I will do everything by apply with all the legal and apply with the rule of law. And the main important thing that I have to be fairness to everyone, not just only one person. Yingluck Shinawatra I definitely don't want to be one of those athletes who

he didn't live for stories, exactly, but I think he lived through stories. I think, like many writers, he loved stories about things he had experienced as much as, if not more than, he loved the experiences themselves. Henry Louis Gates I've always believed in challenging Republicans where they think they are strongest. Martin Frost It's not a faith in technology. It's faith in people. Steve Jobs My life is short. I can't listen to banality. V. S. Naipaul I'm always attracted to bold, risk-taking scripts. Aidan Gillen It is correct that I overlooked the contamination of the party, not just now but also in the past. Bela Kun I don't see, based on the evidence, economic and moral, that we can make it that much further. Joel C. Rosenberg What I actually wanted to do with my life is make a difference to the world. That led me into science very quickly. Aubrey de Grey The art of motion pictures is pictorial and language comes a distant sec

that I am a writer and that I have stories to tell, so I thought, 'Let's do this!' So I'm co-writing a screenplay now with another screenwriter and loving it. Absolutely loving it. And I would like to be the producer on the project and of course the lead is me. Kerry Washington I have always thought it was important to maintain some connection for myself to what it takes to make a song work by myself, to put a song across to an audience by myself. Jeff Tweedy I've never been to a dinner party where everyone at the dinner table didn't say something funny. Lorrie Moore When anything goes digital, let alone something as immaterial as a book, there is a tendency to see it as just in the air to be taken, and to lose the sense that somebody once made it. Graham Swift When I use my strength in the service of my vision it makes no difference whether or not I am afraid. Audre Lorde Why does everyone think the future is space helmets, silver foil, and talki

you did it wrong. After a year of not doing it right, I could talk to people and get them to sit up straight, take different kinds of chances, to breathe differently, to engage in the moment in the boat. And I changed them, and I changed me in the process. Seth Godin I think of Oprah as a Mother Joseph wannabe, a daytime oracle rewarding the good and punishing the bad. Margaret Carlson I had gone full-on folkie; I'd had it with bands. Dan Fogelberg Well, of course I think people can be forgiven. But our justice system is not set up to dispense forgiveness. You can go to the local priest for that. Nancy Grace You can't really judge characters, because that's when it gets really hard to play them. Ellen Pompeo Fettuccine Alfredo is dangerous for your health. Robert M. Parker, Jr. People now, especially with the Internet, are connected. They have an expectation of behaviour, of accountability, avoiding conflict and fair and just competition. Sri Mulyani Indr

child will resist temptation or seduction, another will easily yield to it. There are children who will hardly oppose any resistance to the invitation of an unknown person to follow him; others who react in an opposite way in the same circumstances. Karl Abraham There is something intrinsically, systemically wrong with white, western culture, and if we don't fix it, it won't continue. James Cromwell I enjoy Augusta. I enjoy its challenges. There's no other golf course like this anywhere. Its greens and its challenges on and around the greens are just super, super tough. So the greens are fun to play in sort of a morbid way. Ben Crenshaw God knows why nobody ever learns from the preceding generation - but they don't. Doris Lessing There is definitely something sexy about a girl with an attitude and a pair of leather pants. Eliza Dushku I'm stronger than I think I am. Mentally, physically. Misty May-Treanor The injunction that we should love our neig

and the Resistance. France against the Nazis! Then when that boy grew up, he began to uncover things. We began to legitimately ask the question, 'What exactly did our parents do during the Occupation?' We discovered it was not the story they were telling us. Jacques Audiard It's very important that every movie I do makes money because I want the people that had the faith in me to get their money back. Quentin Tarantino The small Satan left and the great Satan came. Muqtada al Sadr Children simply don't make the distinction; a book is either good or bad. And some of the books they think are good are very, very bad indeed. Mark Haddon I'm not sitting on a soapbox telling women what they should and shouldn't do, but I know what works for me. Cate Blanchett To be able to put your arms around 24 years of music, it's really fun. Billy Corgan If you look at a lot of animated movies, they don't pay attention to how things move through space. B

pit bull is that the pit bull can do more damage. That's why it's important to make sure you are a hundred percent ready for the responsibility if you own a 'power' breed, like a pit bull, German shepherd, or Rottweiler. Cesar Millan I never would have given up my work to stay home. Shirley MacLaine We need to stop spending money on death, the war in Iraq and on enhancing the lives of the people in our own country. Dick Morris Here are the facts we confront. No one is against conservation. No one is against alternative fuel sources. J. D. Hayworth I think we have all experienced passion that is not in any sense reasonable. Stephen Fry Now, on nights that I can't sleep, I play video games alone until the morning. Namie Amuro There is no such thing as a life of passion any more than a continuous earthquake, or an eternal fever. Besides, who would ever shave themselves in such a state? Lord Byron I'm not very happy idle. Harlan Coben The pre

for everybody and suddenly everybody felt like they had to apologise for being in rock bands. People suddenly felt bad about wanting to reach massive audiences and the sense of theatre, that we have in our live show, became something to avoid. Nate Ruess I just felt like there was a world of cartoon voices that had to be discovered by me. Tom Kenny I write in all keys. I've always written in all keys. I've probably written a lot of songs in A. Teena Marie Cleveland's a great place when you're a kid. You hardly ever get sunburned, without the sun shining. Darrell Issa Calvin was very clever. We did the pictures and made the commercial, and that really worked. Kate Moss I definitely consider myself a songwriter first because that's my best attribute. Chad Kroeger I work very hard on getting the songs as direct and examined as I can before I go in the studio. Nick Lowe I would rather my films be well-known than I be well-known. Patrice Leconte I

But in the United States we have this incredible smorgasbord, and it really interests me why people are drawn to one faith rather than another, especially to a system of belief that to an outsider seems absurd or dangerous. Lawrence Wright If you want to see me cry, just come to a photo shoot. Fiona Apple I'm very grateful and fully aware that 90 percent of actors are not working. Going from public school teacher to a show like 'Grey's Anatomy', I love what I do. Jesse Williams I've often thought that my lack of intimacy with those around me is the fault of those around me. Luke Ford The standards to get in are very high. We don't want to lower those standards. Hugh Shelton The stopwatch doesn't lie. The tape measure doesn't lie. Daley Thompson I guess I'm lucky that I've been able to play a wide range of parts and a wide range of types of productions - I haven't felt much typecasting. Kali Hawk Most good things happen wi

of human existence - gender, race, class or age. Those moments of transcendence when we exclaim 'You know exactly what I mean!' depend for much of their force on the anonymous character of the intimacy between writer and reader. Will Self I've made three studio albums and one live one with my brother. It's melodic singer-songwriter acoustic-rock music. Kevin Bacon I enjoy watching competitive people. You watch 'em come and you watch 'em go, and how they try to be the best. How they handle when they're not. How they handle when they are. How they get along together on the court. Tom Heinsohn I just don't want to be famous. I feel like there's a lot of sacrifice in that I'm not really willing to make. Missy Peregrym Individuals can spend their money more wisely, efficiently and more humanely than can government. Larry Elder I'd had the theater background for so long that I know that world inside out; I just didn't know the p

if I have to go physical comedy, I will do it. But whatever the joke needs at that particular time, is where I'm dedicated to. I'm not into beating somebody down and beating myself up. I don't do insults and things like that. I don't do it - I'm a storyteller. Bernie Mac The world doesn't understand me and I don't understand the world, that's why I've withdrawn from it. Paul Cezanne I didn't have the confidence to leave the band because of a solo career, or anything like that. I just wanted to grow. Dee Dee Ramone After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. David Petraeus Love is based on imagination.
