a role written for a white man or Asian man, or Latino. If it's something that I feel I could do well, I go after it. Especially if it's nothing that has to be gender or race specific, I'm all over it. Gabrielle Union Activism isn't about holding your faults up to the light. That's what comedy is about, it's about saying, 'Look at this person who is so flawed and frail and damaged. And we're all this frail and damaged so let's laugh at it.' Scott Thompson In cities like Athens, poor houses lined narrow and tortuous streets in spite of luxurious public buildings. Stephen Gardiner Silence at the proper season is wisdom, and better than any speech. Plutarch If you double count some votes, that makes other votes disenfranchised. John Ensign Of all ghosts the ghosts of our old loves are the worst. Arthur Conan Doyle You'll see Dame Judi Dench in a Bond film, in Shakespeare and then starring in her own sitcom. You never see that h

to keep its own identity mysterious. Its love songs are gender-neutral, the members have declined to appear in their own videos, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a photo of the duo that doesn't cast them in shadows. Will Hermes The blues is life itself. Billy Gibbons When women are in positions of power it's a hard place to be, especially when that position involves bossing men around. Alison Pill The work is with me when I wake up in the morning; it is with me while I eat my breakfast in bed and run through the newspaper, while I shave and bathe and dress. C. S. Forester But the worst handicap we had the prohibition of naming individual units who had done the fighting. Philip Gibbs If you're lucky enough to draw a good horse, you still have to ride him, then the next ones. Chris LeDoux You can be the greatest guy in the world but if you ain't got no heart, you ain't gonna survive. Don King Everything has been written. Everybody knows every

with anything like them - I'm really impressed by characters who can endure over time, whether that be a long series run like a Harry Bosch, or a character who endures over generations and continues to please readers: Sherlock Holmes. Michael Koryta It takes 300 years, it seems, for the great bands to get their due. Clea Duvall People always say that Californian women are obsessed with their appearance but I think you've got to take good care of yourself, for yourself. Linda Gray What royal families are very good at doing is surviving and reinventing themselves. That's true whether it's a constitutional monarchy in Britain or an authoritarian monarchy. Robert Lacey Whatever America's founders believed about Christianity - and they believed a wide range of things - they clearly rejected the idea of an established church. Parker Palmer There's something missing in the music industry today... and it's music. Songs you hear don't last, it'

it is, is a game. It doesn't make you any better or any worse than anybody else. So by winning a game, you're no better. By losing a game, you're no worse. I think by keeping that mentality, it really keeps things in perspective for me to treat everybody the same. Tim Tebow There's not a blueprint for me to follow. Adam Lambert I like to wear clothes that I will wear when I am an old lady. Florence Welch I've been in this business 31 years. I've never had a movie deal. Jaleel White As long as we are engaged in storytelling that moves the culture forward, it doesn't matter what format it is. LeVar Burton I hold myself to a very high standard, and I hold my contributions to that same high standard. I will not accept any contributions that are illegal, inappropriate or tainted. Kevin Shelley I usually point out that most loss of life and property has been due to the collapse of antiquated and unsafe structures, mostly of brick and other masonr

get in the positions and I can't hold them. You have to be pretty flexible to do it. Once you get certain positions, you have to have the core strength to hold those positions. It's a pretty good workout. Steve Blake Funk, I don't think I have anything to do with funk. I've never considered myself funky. David Bowie You know for me when I promise something I want to deliver. If you don't, you have to disappear. Haile Gebrselassie Let's put it this way, when I was casting, I cast Viggo first and then found someone who could play his wife, rather than the other way around. So for me he's still the lead character. David Cronenberg Karl Lagerfeld and Tom Ford are both geniuses. Arizona Muse Women should stop going for the bad guys, stop looking so far when the good ones are right there. Jennifer Aniston Very good cooks who are employed as 'chefs' rarely refer to themselves as 'chefs.' They refer to themselves as 'cooks.'

on TV. Wow, that's so silly of me! We only saw one of his films together, it was with a group of people, and when he kissed Deborah Kerr, I jumped off the couch and I ran up and I slapped the screen. I was so upset that my father was kissing this woman I didn't even know! Jennifer Grant I would say that American poetry has always been a poetry of personal testimony. Mark Strand Baseball is more than a game to me, it's a religion. Bill Klem Second, there are two problems with respect to mobile homes in particular. One is we obviously don't want to put them in a flood plain, because if there's another flood, you're going to lose the mobile home. Michael Chertoff He who is overly attached to his family members experiences fear and sorrow, for the root of all grief is attachment. Thus one should discard attachment to be happy. Chanakya I don't necessarily not believe in ghosts, but I've never seen a ghost. A ghost has never jumped out and been

the back seat, is it the animation that's entertaining you as you drive and listen? No, it's the storytelling. That's why we put so much importance on story. No amount of great animation will save a bad story. John Lasseter Just because you are out doesn't make you the poster boy for the gay community. Jai Rodriguez When I think about life on Earth, there should not be a species like us. And if there was, we should be out in the jungle killing each other in small groups. That's what you should expect. Jonathan Haidt Michael Moore became an industry hero and the most visible symbol of the Hollywood left. Michael Medved Rather, like the anarchists of the last century, he didn't care if he was killed or not. They just wanted to be known. We found no trace of any conspiracy. John Sherman Cooper For one thing, I teach my students what my teacher for twenty years, Paul Gavert, told me, 'The voice follows... the voice follows everything about you...

'When you go equity and you're gonna get paid, you'll finally be able to make a living.' But it was not to be so. I always bartended and waited tables so I ended up not doing theater for about a year because nobody would hire me. Denis O'Hare I don't think that I want to meet any of the icons. I don't think that anybody can quite live up to your expectations. Jane Horrocks Christ died to save this lost world; he did not come to destroy, maim or pour out wrath. David Wilkerson It's a constant battle for everybody, but you need to be happy with yourself. Gina Carano This is a bad day for Boston, but I think if we pull together we'll get through it. Thomas Menino You have to know this: running a 100m race is an intense experience. You have a lot of emotion at the end of the race. It is not easy to control that when you win. Maurice Greene Reviewers are the worst laughers in the world. Chris O'Dowd I just can't seem to make m

decision that 'Every day, I'm going to work out.' There are some days that I just don't feel like doing it, and I don't. But more often than not I get up and I get on the treadmill that I want to shoot and just do it. The first 20 minutes are the hardest. Valerie Bertinelli I'd always wanted to work in the studio and experiment with sounds. Things that I'm really influenced by and that I love are like The Beatles and Radiohead, and all those records by bands whose music is really involved. Regina Spektor People are scared to make something that doesn't look like another film that made a lot of money. It means we get 'Four Weddings And A Funeral' made again and again. Billy Boyd If there are finer beings than German short hairs, I don't know what they are. In their eyes is peace. Ben Stein I always try to make myself be very approachable and easy to talk to, so hopefully people will feel that they can approach me. Kristanna Loken

angles into action and sweeping vistas to stun your eyes and take your breath away. But what he hasn't mastered and what the technique can't do is this: emotion capture. Stephen Hunter People misunderstand me. Martin Freeman I had been on the junior Olympic team in high school for trampoline; I could do twenty-six back flips in a row. Steven Tyler I think the little girl in Smallville is terrific, but I only watched it once. Margot Kidder I was never one to seek out the spotlight. I am kind of a private person, so I don't miss that part of show business at all. Angela Cartwright I won't back down. I get a satisfaction from being tested and defeating the test. Ashton Eaton I'm no lyrical stylist; you wouldn't pick me for a perfect sentence, and I certainly wouldn't describe my novels as intellectual. Joanna Trollope I was a barefoot earth child for a couple of years. Isabel Lucas I'm not a hat person. I really don't like wearin

when I was teaching in South Bend, Indiana, before I went into the service. I honestly believe that if I hadn't enlisted in the service, I would never have left high school teaching. I'm sure I would have never left. John Wooden When Tom Morello picks up the guitar, I'm sure what he sees is totally different from what I do, but I love the way he plays. Joe Perry If you look at any successful skit comedy show, ever, there is that format of introducing you to the player in the beginning, and then going on to see those sketches. Keegan-Michael Key Running is what keeps my weight down. I have to stay active or I could easily gain weight. Camilla Luddington I had a lousy marriage and I drank too much. Pat Travers Bloom County was set in a tidy, rural environment probably because of Harper Lee's 'To Kill a Mockingbird.' Berkeley Breathed We went to church every Sunday. When I was a kid, the only time I sang was around my family. Darius Rucker With

He knows that he's a good soldier, but he will always have to fight the prejudice of aristocratic officers because of his rough working-class upbringing. On the battlefield, he's full of confidence - but off it, he is unsure, a bit shy and ill at ease. Sean Bean If marriage really is a sacred institution, then why is the government controlling it, especially in a nation that affirms separation of church and state? Tony Campolo I was always hearing that I was pale and thin and small. Georg Brandes I had no desire to be a stand-up comic until I decided to do it. Rita Rudner It's a warm wind, the west wind, full of birds' cries. John Masefield I try to put out fires when bizarre rumors get started. Chris Weitz How many desolate creatures on the earth have learnt the simple dues of fellowship and social comfort, in a hospital. Elizabeth Barrett Browning Obama believes in a big central government, where the federal government controls everything in our l

version, it's more militaristic, partly because the CIA has more of the military makeup. Whereas MI6 is more of a cerebral, intelligence-based, relationship-based service, i.e., all they do is recruit people to get information out of them. Charles Cumming What most people know about me, they know through my music. This time, I've tried to open that door as wide as possible. These songs are a giant step closer to who I really am and what my music is all about. Hence the title. Josh Groban But more important than personal awards is winning the World Series. That's the max that anyone could ask for. Let alone to have the ball in your in your glove for the final out of the World Series. That was the ultimate. Dennis Eckersley Of course, I will continue to share my favorite Southern recipes, just like my mama, grandmother and family shared with me over the years. And now, I'll be adding a little bit of a lighter touch to some of these wonderful dishes. Paula Deen

bread, not having any preservatives in it, just becomes harder and it doesn't taste old. What I would warn people about is getting bread that's loaded with other things in it, because it starts to taste old. Mario Batali I am dead set against free agency. It can ruin baseball. George Steinbrenner I've always played every amp I've ever had full up, because rock and roll is supposed to be played loud. Also, that's how you get your sustain. Ritchie Blackmore Mysteries and thrillers are not the same things, though they are literary siblings. Roughly put, I would say the distinction is that mysteries emphasize motive and psychology whereas thrillers rely more heavily on action and plot. Jon Meacham Pollock was well known, certainly, but for all the wrong reasons. He was known as much for being wild and unconventional in his working methods as for being a great artist. Kenneth Noland Lots of boys pick strong messages about who they are and who they want to

did a 20-part series for the BBC series called 'Eating With the Enemy.' The budget for all 20 episodes was probably the budget for a single episode of 'Top Chef.' It's the difference between making a home movie in your backyard and going to Hollywood. Toby Young I am rich because I sell a lot of books, but it's not my drive. Pierre Dukan I feel like war should occur only for the most vital and necessary reasons, and only then. Sharon Stone Men and women are immigrants in each other's worlds. Yakov Smirnoff In general, costumes are the first thing in life that let other people know who we are. They indicate who the person is without saying anything. Molly Parker You should not say it is not good. You should say you do not like it; and then, you know, you're perfectly safe. James Whistler While time lasts there will always be a future, and that future will hold both good and evil, since the world is made to that mingled pattern. Dorothy

to do what no other physical machine can do - to operate in perpetuity without tiring. In the same way it doesn't know exhaustion, it doesn't know when it's wrong and it can keep doing the wrong thing over and over without tiring. John Maeda Pop music has been all but relegated to the remainder bin at MTV and VH1, where high-maintenance concoctions such as Paris Hilton, Flavor Flav, and Hulk Hogan's biohazard clan of bleached specimens provide endless hours of death-hastening diversion. James Wolcott For many years I thought I was bisexual. And then I would ask myself, 'What is bisexual? Does that even exist?' Ricky Martin In the final analysis, the incident is seen as originating from an emotional expression of the frustration and anger of the proud people of China who had been subject to ever increasing oppression from without and decadent corruption from within. Chen-Ning Yang What I do when I create a character is put in details from all the peop

on Earth was a fixed creation, that the living world had never changed. But when the first stirrings of industry demanded that fuel be dug from the earth and hillsides be leveled for roads and railways, the Earth's true past was dug up in abundance. Kenneth R. Miller I like experimenting with different color lip glosses and lipsticks and things like that. Jordyn Wieber They think something's gone wrong, but in Don't Look Now, for instance, one scene was made by a mistake. It's the scene where Donald Sutherland goes to look for the policeman who's investigating the two women. Nicolas Roeg I have cellulite. I admit it. But sometimes I just say, 'Screw it, I am going to wear a bikini.' Cindy Crawford You shouldn't have to have money to have a luxury fragrance. Lady Gaga Before you get a dog, you can't quite imagine what living with one might be like; afterward, you can't imagine living any other way. Caroline Knapp My personal goal

so let it be done!' Like Yul Brynner's Pharaoh Ramses character in Cecil B. DeMille's 'The Ten Commandments,' the demander in chief stands with arms akimbo issuing daily edicts to his constitution-subverting minions. Michelle Malkin I was a bit of a show-off in school and loved playing dress-up, and my passion for it just grew as I got older. Jai Courtney It is sometimes easier to head an institute for the study of child guidance than it is to turn one brat into a decent human being. Joseph Wood Krutch Europe is scooters. Europe is five young people on one bench sharing a chocolate bar. Their idea of entertainment and fun is so much different than ours, which is exactly why a movie about them would be funny. Mike Myers The trouble with the public is that there is too much of it; what we need in public is less quantity and more quality. Don Marquis I love crying at romantic movies like 'The Notebook.' I'm always bawling. Fergie For a dev

The original 'T.R.O.Y.' came out in 1992, and it was like a 20th anniversary kind of thing. All of those intentions were there for it to be resurrecting a classic for a new generation. I tried to honor it. Lupe Fiasco Some people absorb in different ways. I didn't realize until I was 15 years old how much I retained. Paul Prudhomme I found this national debt, doubled, wrapped in a big bow waiting for me as I stepped into the Oval Office. Barack Obama Since I started in Nascar, popularity has definitely gone up. I've become more attractive and helpful to companies that are looking for spokespersons. So from that perspective, things are going really well. Danica Patrick People don't always want to have females as leaders. Christina Aguilera I'm always more motivated by the pain of a funny character than by what makes him funny. Jason Alexander The problem is I am both a procrastinator and a power junkie, so I am very frustrating to work with. Al

to work, the Obama Administration said they would only do it if they had a credible plan to increase employment by 20%. You hear that? More work. So the claim that President Obama weakened welfare reform's work requirement is just not true. William J. Clinton What we have to do is to definitively remove the last vestiges of power from those who treat terms such as 'liberal democracy,' 'free markets' and 'Europe' with suspicion. Donald Tusk Public intellectuals come from a range of areas and use their expertise to comment more widely than just their field. They want to make a contribution to public space, and they stick their necks out to do it. Susie Orbach Globally the Greens have arisen like a spontaneous combustion, a reaction to the narrow-minded state-backed exploitation of resources and wealth for a few at the expense of the many. Bob Brown I am trying to do my own thing, but there will always be comparisons, even if I don't agree with

what I consume in terms of calories. But when I'm at home, I eat what my wife cooks for me. She works hard to avoid making foods that are high in calories and cholesterol, so most of the time, she makes vegetarian dishes. Masaharu Morimoto I get to do interesting roles and make a living. Aidan Quinn Whenever education budgets get tightened, art programs are the first to get cut. Like the enduring popularity of reality TV, this never ceases to amaze me. Lynda Resnick I love looking at people who have achieved a lot - even Kim Kardashian, who has made a brand out of being a reality TV star; I applaud that. Tamara Ecclestone I'm a visual thinker, not a language-based thinker. My brain is like Google Images. Temple Grandin You can mostly forget ethnic or religious differences. The competition for a bigger share of the oil proceeds is behind much of the fighting. Ed Harris I'm not Josh Brolin or Ryan Gosling. They're more noir than I. Anthony Mackie Libr

willingness to learn new, healthy habits is tremendous and the results speak for themselves. I am honored to be part of such an inspiring program that helps inspire positive change in so many lives. Curtis Stone If my vision was good enough, I'd be an astronaut. Robert Crais Laughter, and the broader category of humor, are key elements in helping us go on with our life after a loss. Allen Klein You've got to demand the truth from yourself. Glenn Beck I think perfect objectivity is an unrealistic goal; fairness, however, is not. Michael Pollan I didn't start making music in order to be famous. Mark Ronson Your glass will not do you half so much service as a serious reflection on your own minds. Mary Astell I've been working with the land for most of my life; walking it and photographing it. And I love it to bits. Fay Godwin Making a book is such a big enterprise. V. S. Naipaul I lost some weight, grew my hair and now every woman in America over

who's the customer, who makes the decisions. But in truth, the mother in many areas, in certain parts of India, the mother has very little decision-making power at all. The real decision-maker is the mother-in-law. Jacqueline Novogratz We're not a political band. We don't want to tell people what to do or what to think. We just want to tell them to think. Billie Joe Armstrong There is much more good gained from having a fully functioning financial market than there ever is not having that. John Key I suppose I was always very greedy. I was never happy with what we had, and I was always looking for new opportunities. Sean Quinn Just because you live longer doesn't necessarily give you a greater edge in quality. Reggie Watts I was not given to looking at life in a rosy light. Georg Brandes If it wasn't for the fans I would probably be bartending somewhere. Keifer Thompson I'm looking forward to writing more novels for young adults. Candace Bu

play professional football, to use it as a platform to proclaim and live out the name of Jesus. And, you know, that's the most exciting part about my life because God has done things in me to change my character to benefit the kingdom. Reggie White In morals, truth is but little prized when it is a mere sentiment, and only attains its full value when realized in the world as fact. Ernest Renan Essentially, you have to be aware of a crisis happening: 'Can the company go on if I get hit by a bus?' That's, I think, how you build a great company and something that can scale. Osman Rashid Blues was made for the recessed. Eric Burdon Rock and Roll: Music for the neck downwards. Keith Richards I should have been smart enough to stay happy. But my ambition ruled my life. Eva Gabor It is joyous for any actor to enter other grounds of consciousness and thought. At the end of the day, we just all like dressing up and playing around. Rhys Ifans We are like a wo

worried about what you're doing or what you're saying, so you can drift around the world relatively anonymously: you must not feel persecuted and examined. Liberate yourself from that idea that people are watching you. Russell Brand The Grail is the womb of the beloved. Robert Anton Wilson What can I say about the First World War, a war in which I served as an infantryman, a war I hated at the start and to which I never warmed as it proceeded? George Grosz I want a man in my life, not in my house. Joy Behar The only problem in the past has been my kids. I'd want to bring them to London with me, but they are at an important stage in high school. Mimi Rogers It's very rare you get a great script just handed to you, or sent to you, by someone you don't know. Viggo Mortensen Nature can do more than physicians. Oliver Cromwell Of course, I have my own limits as to how much game software I can take care of at any one time. Shigeru Miyamoto And revo

also no secret that I give most of it away. I don't live a luxurious life. I drive a small second-hand Fiat. I don't have to worry about money, which is itself a privilege. But I never had any anxiety that I would lose my identity. Henning Mankell A daily blog would just about finish me off completely. Robert Plant A fact of modern life is that it takes women longer to get ready than men. Jessica Savitch It looks like a one man show here, although there are two men involved. John Motson Typically, you get a year in prison for making a threat to assassinate the president. Megyn Kelly All I really wanted to do was wildlife photography. Nigel Dennis Lots of times I'll play lead and rhythm together. Stevie Ray Vaughan We're all animals. John Malkovich That was not what men and women fought for during the war. Barbara Castle I'm always happy for people when I see God blessing them the way he's blessed me. Ruben Studdard

gets up and sings love songs they don't mean. I decided that I was going to be me to the fullest extent, that my songs were going to reflect relationships I've had, things I've been through, and even the stuff I'm embarrassed about. Pink Don't overact the story of your name. Overact the story of your work. Karl Lagerfeld As the Republican nominee, it was Romney's job to find a way to speak to some of those groups of voters and offer practical solutions to their difficulties that both resonated with them and sounded plausible to them. John Podhoretz Nationally, overwhelmingly non-white schools receive $1,000 less per pupil than overwhelmingly white schools. Jonathan Kozol If I have enough money to eat I'm good. Shia LaBeouf In 1628 came the first English attack on Canada. Harry Johnston My parents are very good parents and have already said that they will look after me until the end of my skating career. Patrick Chan I certainly never exp

to dress themselves down, because it is sort of a boy's club. I'll go up in my heels. I like that people don't think I'll be funny. I'll take that on. I don't do standup comedy - I do standup and I do comedy, but I don't go up there and do jokes. Carly Craig The English say, Yours Truly, and mean it. The Italians say, I kiss your feet, and mean, I kick your head. Wilfred Owen I am the character you are not supposed to like. Alan Rickman An aggressor nation or extremist group could gain control of critical switches and derail passenger trains, or trains loaded with lethal chemicals. Leon Panetta Between 1972 and 1987, the number of Democratic women in the House had actually gone down, from 14 to 12. EMILY's list started doing House races in 1988. Ellen Malcolm Business is a useful tool in politics, but it's not enough. You need much more than to be a good businessman, to be a good politician. Sebastian Pinera Most of the people I kno

go off and come up with something that I can sort of pay homage to. That's the great thing about our show is we've sort of created a landscape for 'Psych' where we're kind of allowed to go off and give shout-outs to movies that we love, genres that we love. James Roday One of my most productive days was throwing away 1,000 lines of code. Ken Thompson I get the celebrity game now - you can go from being hot to fighting to be seen. Katharine McPhee Conservative policies have on the whole worked - insofar as any set of policies can be said to 'work' in the real world. Conservatives of the Reagan-Bush-Gingrich-Bush years have a fair amount to be proud of. Bill Kristol Interestingly, young people don't come to you for advice. Especially the ones who are related to you. Meryl Streep Combine the extremes, and you will have the true center. Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel TV is just such a fast-moving medium that you do what you can do, and wha

at the Interior Department to meet that same standard. I delegate a lot. I might appear to be doing a lot of different things, but there's a strong team helping me. I believe we're going to have the strongest team of any agency in the Obama administration. Ken Salazar The thing that made Groucho special was the way he used his body parts. He also had a wicked tongue. People didn't realize it, but when Groucho said something, he meant it. Sidney Sheldon In normal life people say, 'You're so different than on stage!' Offstage I'm down to earth, simple and a very goofy girl... I like to make goofy faces, be dorky and not take things too seriously. I just love to laugh. Nicole Scherzinger I'm happy with my career and I'm not going to have the trouble of being typecast. Nicholas Hoult I like doing fight scenes. I always have, and I insist on doing as much of that action as they'll let me do. I think that's easy for me. Noomi Rapace

I would get nervous if my friends came and watched. Today it's not a problem anymore actually, because now I enjoy it. I see that they, you know, respect me immensely, and I try to put on a good show and show that I can still play very good tennis. Roger Federer Neither these statesmen nor their constituents sought in any way to use the Government for the interest of themselves or their section, or for the injury of a single member of the Confederacy. Robert Toombs I started listening to the Cure around the time I discovered Joy Division and, like Joy Division, they have shaped my taste in all sorts of dark and dreary ways. Danielle Trussoni I'm tired and nervous and I'm in America. Here you don't know that you live. Greta Garbo I've always been just kind of consumed by my own thoughts. Dwight Yoakam He is not valiant that dares die, but he that boldly bears calamity. Philip Massinger I'm gradually working through my obsessions, and maybe, when

a band like Brooks & Dunn and assume that it is just going to be business as usual. You have to work it. It does feel like a campaign where you would have Obama, Romney, or Newt beating the bushes right now. That's what I'm having to do. Ronnie Dunn As problems like identity theft become more prevalent, now more than ever, Americans need to take their financial health seriously - and this information is of the utmost importance. Ruben Hinojosa But I did a lot of boxing and I was captain of an Australian surf club. Rod Taylor There are so many ebbs and flows in life, but when you're raising small children, your family means everything. Uma Thurman I've never had a plan, I've always done things from instinct. Greta Gerwig To be honest, I look at my Pinball program and feel that it is old stuff. I could do much better. Bill Budge I'm just one of the lucky people. I have no other reason for my longevity. Johnny Mathis I was always jealous of

of years ago they called to see why I wasn't at school, and now they're like, 'oh, she's at golf.' Sometimes I'm in class and sometimes the teachers don't realize I'm there. She goes, 'oh, Lydia's absent.' And I'm like 'no, actually, I'm here.' Lydia Ko Vision looks inward and becomes duty. Stephen Samuel Wise Jane Austen is at the end of the line that begins with Samuel Richardson, which takes wonder and magic out of the novel, treats not the past but the present. Leslie Fiedler I don't really feel any different when I get up on stage. Joe Elliott I think peas are really nasty. I liked them when I was younger, but I guess when you get older you have different taste buds. Rico Rodriguez After all, the work isn't the point; the piece is. Donald Judd Flashy people aren't everything, you know. Even when they have frizzled hair. Ahmet Ertegun You have your personal life and you have work life; when

of America, when he was speaking at the State Department, said that more than 80 percent of the mosques were controlled by extremists. And from all I've seen over the last four or five years, the situation has even gotten worse. Peter T. King I watch a lot of TV, and I'd like to think what I watch is good TV. Scott Porter As a father, physician and nurse, I have a special place in my heart for children, and I know the brief window of opportunity we have to teach them simple lessons that can lead to a lifetime of good health. Richard Carmona Having been an educator for so many years I know that all a good teacher can do is set a context, raise questions or enter into a kind of a dialogic relationship with their students. Godfrey Reggio I have the feeling that this Moscow Pact will at some time or other exact vengeance upon National Socialism. Alfred Rosenberg I was a bit overweight as a teenager, which may be why I'm more comfortable playing with clothes than

I didn't make the hockey team in college, so I played lacrosse instead. I didn't play hockey again for 20 to 25 years, and then my son became interested in the game. I decided to pick it up again. A friend let me play backup on his team. John Katzman Both within the family and without, our sisters hold up our mirrors: our images of who we are and of who we can dare to be. Elizabeth Fishel We had to support our player and genuinely felt, like Rio has said, that it was an honest mistake. It is important to know that Manchester United never said, and Rio Ferdinand never said, that a mistake hadn't been made. David Gill I think the main reason my marriages failed is that I always loved too well but never wisely. Ava Gardner What appears spectral today will be natural tomorrow. Franz Marc I'm pretty much the one that goes to the mound. Bobby Bonilla I envisioned that as my life: staying in academia to make a living and then taking summers off to write my no

It's kind of exciting. I don't punch in. I don't have a 9 to 5 job. When you do work you're lucky enough to go to interesting places and meet mostly interesting and talented people, so it's really a great job if you can work. Michael Vartan A lot of writing is a form of seeing - putting down what you see in terms of action and landscape. Jonathan Ames I learned to play guitar at a young age and converted poems and stuff that I had written to songs. Gregory Harrison The Moguls is a story about guys that have all grown up together and are now in their late 40s, early 50s. Joe Pantoliano I eat healthy and stay active and drink plenty of water. Behati Prinsloo I'm most comfortable definitely when I'm on the ice. I love to play. It's something that I just love to do. Sidney Crosby I am in total silence when I write - I don't even like the sound of the dryer going - I like the quiet. Adriana Trigiani My interest in theatre and storytel

I always face the question: should I grow myself a thick skin and ignore it, or should I let myself be wounded? I've decided to be wounded, since, if I grew a thick skin, there are other things I wouldn't feel any more. Gunter Grass When I think about moguls, I think like Donald Trump who... owns NYC practically. That's a mogul. I feel like I'm on my way to a lot more, but mogul is a really serious thing. I think it's a word that gets thrown around easily. Tyra Banks I write all the time - I write poetry, I love to write. Colin Quinn If you want to understand Jesus, you have to study the whole Bible. Christian duty is not defined solely by the words in red. Randall Terry I am sure that the Ukrainian nation deserves a better life. That is why I have voted for good changes and for stability. Viktor Yanukovych Analysis brings no curative powers in its train; it merely makes us conscious of the existence of an evil, which, oddly enough, is consciousness.

really is no objective standard other than your own taste. You develop your own tastes, you find things that do or do not fit your tastes, and therefore are or are not 'good.' Whether they have been labeled as produced by the right person is another matter. Arthur Phillips I went through an awkward adolescence and had braces. Christina Ricci It's actually shocking to me how hard it's been to get back into the movie business. Lea Thompson You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Henry David Thoreau Comedy can't be about continuous success. Martin Freeman It is never right to play ragtime fast. Scott Joplin When people make judgments they close all the possibility around them. Jeff Koons I believe that all poetry is formal in that it exists within limits, limits that are either inherited by tradition or limits that language itself imposes. Mark Strand I sincerely feel that beauty largely co

land values are insane. In the case of Hilton Head, which was developed in 1970 on what had been a mosquito- and alligator-infested swampy barrier island, land value has leaped from nearly zero to now unaffordable. Susan Orlean The only question which any wise man can ask himself, and which any honest man will ask himself, is whether a doctrine is true or false. Thomas Huxley If I want popularity, I go to a chef's convention. Nathan Myhrvold The insatiable thirst for everything which lies beyond, and which life reveals, is the most living proof of our immortality. Charles Baudelaire I was a borderline guy in the NFL. Darren Flutie Whether we like it or not, gender differences matter in a combat situation. Pete Hegseth O wretched man, wretched not just because of what you are, but also because you do not know how wretched you are! Marcus Tullius Cicero After I lost my fiance, it seemed like it would be better to always be alone than to risk being hurt again. Na

easiest thing that I do a lot is gazpacho. It's simple and it tastes best if you let it sit over night in the refrigerator... I don't want anybody near me when I am cooking. If I am going to make a mistake, it has to be my fault. Leonard Slatkin It was a bad idea, because I think that any government reorganization has to come in relatively small bites, or else you get indigestion. Warren Rudman I like entrepreneurial people; I like people who take risks. Billie Jean King I don't really regret anything in my life. Kristin Cavallari It's funny that until I actually met my husband, I never thought I'd get married. Regina King The same people who never did their homework in high school are still doing that to this very day out in the real world. Jules Shear I can't think of anyone who has done anything remotely useful after the age of 80. Peter Greenaway My father was something of a rainbow-chaser. Marc Davis It's important to have female

have allowed us to co-create a fully designed, four color business book in landscape format - because it was contrary to the publishing industry logic. However, we thought of Business Model Generation as a product, not just a book - similar to Apple products. Alexander Osterwalder From my experience, politicians are much more uncomfortable being made fun of than they are being preached at and screeched at - you know, and the soapbox routine. They're much more uneasy knowing they're a target of ridicule. Carl Hiaasen I was never a left-winger, actually. I was a pretend left-winger because it was more interesting than being a right-winger. Helen Mirren Everything has changed. When I was at school and was told I had better learn English, I said: What for? The English are a hell of a long way away! Juan Manuel Fangio There is no 'perfect' in music. If I ever came off the stage and felt it could not be better, it would then be time to quit. Leonard Slatkin I&#

Today, I'm so experienced in training - I'm actually listening to my body now. My body needs freedom. When I train I create serenity and I produce oxygen in my blood. It helps me to think better and relax. By training, you accentuate the problem. Jean-Claude Van Damme I don't believe in writing people off. Rico Love I think what happened during the Great Depression was that African Americans understood that Republicans championed citizenship and voting rights but they became impatient for economic emancipation. Rand Paul Life is strange. Every so often a good man wins. Frank Dane And I went to New York and died; for 10 years I walked those pavements. I can't think of New York without feeling uncomfortable and feeling like a failure. Harvey Korman I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004. Laura Ziskin We hear only those questions for which we are in a position to find answers. Friedrich Nietzsche I feel like my mind is a little quieter when I exerc

people, they think that comics is a style, like comics is a superhero story. Comic is just a narration, and is a medium, you can say any kind of story in comics and you can say of any kind of story in animation. Marjane Satrapi I loved 'The Social Network.' I think it's one of those movies that will stand the test of time. Jon M. Chu I have heard repeated stories of meth users leaving their children unattended for days as they cook, use and then sleep off the intense effects of methamphetamine. Rick Larsen It's been such a group effort. When you're a new band and you have limited resources, you end up getting people that are there because they love what you do, and that's great. Balthazar Getty Power and beauty come from a very deep place. Brooke Burke My preference is that, that day when someone sticks a tripod in front of you with a camera on the top, it is not day one. Daniel Day-Lewis I can only write about personal stuff, about my point of

actually alive and living in our society; who would that person be, how we would identify them, how would they live and what would they believe in, how would society react to them? I decided to try and tell my idea of that story. James Frey Maybe its a case of one guitar feeling a certain way to the hands that makes one subsequently move differently over the strings, but my intent is always to wring the maximum emotional resonance out of the object in hand. Gary Lucas I, for one, believe that revenue has to increase. I think every American would pay more if they thought spending was going to be cut and the budget brought to balance. Douglas R. Oberhelman I'm a little self-conscious about my body. I love to wear hoodies because you can get cozy and eat some food and your belly doesn't show! Jared Padalecki I'm not really all that familiar with comic book culture. Christoph Waltz There's a lot of people out now around America who depend on checks from their

can't have a great moment because it's spiritual. It's a belief, it's a calling. If you're an artist, doing your own thing on your own, it's while you're doing it that counts. It's a process. If you get too elated, you can get too depressed. LeRoy Neiman When you're a celebrity, people think they know you, but they don't have a clue. Willie Aames I found out that if you made people laugh, they like you. Most people got to like me because I made them laugh. When they didn't, I hit them. Buddy Hackett I thought if I was lucky it would be a nice, modest-sized, modest-budgeted film that would be a modest success. And then something happened. David Heyman I'll never be known for my work with boundaries. Carrie Fisher You know George M. Steinbrenner III is the center of all evil in the universe. Ben Affleck The key to my collections is sensuality. Sonia Rykiel It is a happy thing that there is no royal road to poetry. The w

This is the way networks operate. This is the way all television stations operate. This is the way most businesses operate when you have a number of affiliates or a number of franchises. It's the way the business operates. Mark E. Hyman I was the ladies' man in school. I always had friends; people looked up to me. Marques Houston Very early, I knew that the only object in life was to grow. Margaret Fuller Something happens to a woman when she can't reproduce. I've not had to walk that path, but I can only imagine when your organs don't work and how that could make you feel. Taraji P. Henson I decided blacks should not have to experience the difficulties I had faced, so I decided to open a flying school and teach other black women to fly. Bessie Coleman Making the solution seem so completely inevitable and obvious, so uncontrived and natural - it's so hard! Jonathan Ive When you take other people's opinions, you end up flailing and you have

leave to take lessons from an old Scripture-reader who spent a part of his time in the parish of Killinane, teaching such scholars as he could find to read their own language in the hope that they might turn to the only book then being printed in Irish, the Bible. Lady Gregory There's a hierarchy in prison, and I was right at the top. Tommy Chong As soon as you make mistakes, or you have an off year, even if it's not your fault as a quarterback... I've always said the quarterback and the head coach always get too much blame when you lose and too much credit when you win. Eli Manning The President then proceeded to read his Emancipation Proclamation, making remarks on the several parts as he went on, and showing that he had fully considered the whole subject, in all lights under which it had been presented to him. Salmon P. Chase There are some people who still feel threatened by strong women. That's their problem. It's not mine. Gloria Allred Art give

musician you can give people something a doctor, a lawyer, a politician cannot give them that. It's not scientific. It's spiritual - a good feeling. And although you don't know them personally, the audience are like your friends. Billy Ocean Guitar playing is just something that came to me and is really second nature now. Dave Navarro I had very good support from Democrats and Republicans all throughout my administration. I had a very high batting average. We added more jobs per year in my four years than any other president since the Second World War. Jimmy Carter Nobody gets out of love alive. You turn into a menace or a pest when you've been rejected. Helen Fisher I am not aspiring to be a senior bureaucrat. It would limit my freedom. Alexander Lebedev I'm a huge Hunter S. Thompson fan. Amber Heard I often think you bring unhappiness on yourself, because if you don't like yourself very much, you allow yourself to be influenced by people who

street and I figure I know them, and I walk over. And then they start to talk about a movie, and I get so embarrassed. Sometimes they think I'm Lorraine Bracco or Laura San Giacomo or Marisa Tomei. I'm sure it happens to them all the time, too. Annabella Sciorra In the fight against terrorism, national agencies keep full control over their police forces, security and intelligence agencies and judicial authorities. Gijs de Vries Know what to do if you feel faint or dizzy, especially if you might fall and hit your head. Marilyn vos Savant I do not know who there is among us that can claim to know God's purpose and God's intent. Theodore Bikel Why do you always insist on playing while I'm trying to conduct? Eugene Ormandy In economic terms, health care is a highly successful industry - profitable, growing, and virtually recession-proof - but it's a massive burden on the rest of the economy. Marcia Angell I'm not an extreme tree-hugger. I do be

breakthrough product. I'll take it a step further. It has to be a radical product. It has to be something where, when people look at it, at first they say, 'I don't get it, I don't understand it. I think it's too weird, I think it's too unusual.' Marc Andreessen I try to make my bed every day for mental health. Coming home to an unmade bed or a room with clothes all over will depress me. David Alan Grier Cookbooks have all become baroque and very predictable. I'm looking for something different. A lot of chefs' cookbooks are food as it's done in the restaurants, but they are dumbed down, and I hate it when they dumb them down. Mario Batali I'm not even sure that any of us are ever ready for anything. We can be ripe, or over-ready, but what is that moment when we're actually ready? Andrea Riseborough English muffins with avocado is one of my favorite breakfasts. Mia Hamm Online media is increasingly influential in fashion.

every one of these movies, I basically have to find the only company in the world that's willing to make it, and it's always a big challenge. I end up spending a tremendous amount of energy and time trying to get money to make these movies and it's exhausting. Darren Aronofsky The border sheriffs are locally elected. They're accountable. They know the territory and the people. And they can respond the most quickly to what is a real national security emergency, because the border is unprotected. John Culberson The wisest mind has something yet to learn. George Santayana When I came out rapping on my record, a lot of people said, Oh, you just want to be like Puff. Jermaine Dupri Businesses should be assured that law enforcement will operate with the utmost sensitivity toward victims of cyber attacks. Preet Bharara I've always thought of absurdism as a French fad I'd like to belong to. Robert Sheckley There's a fine line between comedy and the

later, that was forgotten, you're about to be judged again. When you've done well, you don't want another game, you just want to feel great. When you've done badly, you can't wait for another chance to come. Michael Owen I don't believe in perfection. I don't think there is such a thing. But the energy of wanting things to be great is a perfectionist energy. Reese Witherspoon Part of the success of This American Life, I think, is due to the fact that none of us sound like we should be on the radio. We don't sound professional; we sound like people you would know. Sarah Vowell People talk about footballers and they get a bad press when not all of them deserve it. Gordon Strachan In the songs I can still be really really direct but in interviews when I'm explaining my songs I shouldn't be so direct about who they're about. Adele We felt that although they were patchy, there was a tremendous political energy in the Henry plays. E

frogs in a pot? If you put a frog in a pot and slowly turn up the heat, it won't jump out. Instead, it will enjoy the nice warm bath until it is cooked to death. We humans seem to be doing pretty much the same thing. Jeff Goodell To tell you the truth, I've never met anybody who can envision more than three dimensions. There are some who claim they can, and maybe they can; it's hard to say. Brian Greene I do want to have a family at some point. I also want to adopt. I don't feel pressure to have kids because I know that there are so many out there. Eva Longoria Learning is the most important thing, no mater how you do it, or where you do it, or who you do it with. Saoirse Ronan Everyone knows that if you can keep on making money, everyone's happy. David Stern I love divas. Madonna, Mariah, Beyonce, Britney. Andy Cohen The heavier crop is ever in others' fields. Ovid It is a fact that, if I single out Germany, our rate of growth is too low an

are so separate and divergent, if we do not accept that in the end we are people, all alike, sharing the Earth among ourselves and also with other sentient beings, all of whom have an equal role and stake in the state of this planet and its players. Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck Right now I'm the most famous silent movie actress in the world and I want to keep that for me. So I hope there's not going to be any other silent movies. Berenice Bejo I always say the new album is the best one yet. I always feel that - I really do, because it's the latest and it's the newest and it's a little bit better. Debbie Harry These guys are just flying through the air and I'm capturing them in the split second and putting it into a work of art, via clay to the bronze. Richard MacDonald Women should not have to adopt masculine traits in order to succeed. You should be able to stay as a woman, and in tune with your femininity, and still be equal. Isla Fisher When

and societies. Though a disease of the mind, it is by no means confined to weak, feeble, or commonplace intellects; as history sadly records, its carriers have included men and women of otherwise powerful and subtle thoughts. Paul Johnson A goal is a goal no matter which end it goes in. I'm pleased to get off the mark again. Robbie Fowler I was interested in nuclei originally with my deuteron photo work because that was one of the fundamental forces, and the measurement was basic to new science. John Henry Carver You can look for external sources of motivation and that can catalyze a change, but it won't sustain one. It has to be from an internal desire. Jillian Michaels If you look at life one way, there is always cause for alarm. Elizabeth Bowen I decided to study special education and fell in love with working with individuals with autism. That's what I planned to do with my life. Clay Aiken If I can hit No. 1 on the 'New York Times' best-seller

any mention of China's suspect human rights record, corruption, and rule of law. By not tackling these controversial topics, the candidates are protecting a strategic partnership with China at the expense of essential human values and beliefs. Ai Weiwei Every actor turns everything round to their character. Ruth Wilson Fear is a noose that binds until it strangles. Jean Toomer Canadians tend to be a bit more religious than most Europeans - though not more than the Poles or Ukrainians. Most important, their attitude to immigration and ethnic minorities is more positive than that of most Europeans. Timothy Garton Ash My duty is clear and at all costs will be done. John Burns I'm not a very good advertisement for the American school system. David Brinkley I'd never go on a reality show - it's too invasive. Paloma Faith Sometimes I just walk through; I just show up, as in The Other Sister. Hector Elizondo I never rooted against an opponent, but I nev

whether it's cars or friendships or otherwise. That is a shallow victory. Then you have people with a lot of appreciation and no achievement, which is fine, but it doesn't create a lot of good in the world. Tim Ferriss I would not trade you a billion dollars for the kids I led to combat in Vietnam or in fact any of the Marines that I served with for a quarter of a century. Oliver North Pop is totally results-oriented and there is a very strong feedback loop. Brian Eno I felt devalued and disrespected. The energy behind it felt disingenuous and motivated by corporate profit. Lisa Bonet I don't think any president that I worked with has ever said 'pretty please.' Robert M. Gates I didn't want to come up with some generic Johnny Bravo type name. I'm not that cool, so I might as well stick with my birth name. Colin Hanks Whether we are New Dealer, Old Dealer, Liberty Leaguer or Red, whether we agree or not, we still have the right to think and

bands. So I had that sound around me all the time. The first record that really caught my ear was Clifford Brown's 'Brownie Eyes.' I grew up listening to John Coltrane and Illinois Jacquet. This is where I come from... I love improvisational music. Meshell Ndegeocello As Erykah Badu, it has nothing to do with me, the way I look, my hair wrap, my style, it's about you and what you feel for my music. If I can make you feel like the way that people who influenced me made me feel, that's completion. Erykah Badu If God gives you rights, no man and no government can take them away from you. Roy Moore We cannot say that if a child is badly nourished he will become a criminal. We must see what conclusion the child has drawn. Alfred Adler You had better love the music... because sometimes the music doesn't love you. Zakk Wylde We never have business meals at El Bulli. If it's about business, you're probably not paying much attention to the food. F

say. The pre-interview drives me insane. If they've already decided the outcome, why don't I just hand in an essay? Maybe if we talk we'll find something out. I'd rather just have an awkward pause. Jarvis Cocker I went to a lot of different high schools. I had quite a sporadic schooling experience. I went to school in England briefly, to boarding school, and I went to a few different ones in Australia as well. I'm really lucky! I have friends in most countries. Alice Englert Every season I try to top myself, and push it a little further. L'Wren Scott My feeling was, you plant some seeds. If they grow, great; if they don't, you don't take it personally. Not my problem; I just kept planting. Just like a farmer. Hank Haney And we need to maintain our foothold in the fight against terrorism and terrorist groups and respond to any degradation of Iraqi security or stability. Rick Larsen I actually got dared to audition for the dance team. All my

the past year, we have made a raft of terrific programmes which stand comparison with the best the BBC has ever done: 'Blue Planet,' 'Walking with Beasts,' 'Son of God,' 'Clocking Off,' 'The Way We Live Now,' 'Conspiracy,' 'Lost World.' Gavyn Davies It's no good running a pig farm badly for 30 years while saying, 'Really, I was meant to be a ballet dancer.' By then, pigs will be your style. Quentin Crisp In France, history is paralyzing. Jean Paul Gaultier Certainly in my appetite for more challenges, it's very much alive. I love comedy and it comes to me in a natural way. Shawn Levy The way I relax is I think, 'I haven't got anything coming up.' I like to know there are months ahead when I've got nothing. Julie Walters There are still courses in the United States that I am not allowed to play because of the color of my skin. Tiger Woods When a movie star sits and talks to you, it&

meet them, even the politicians, maybe in the back room or whatever, have a couple of beers and try to explain. But they need to understand that I enforce the laws. I want to listen to them and hear their problems. I want them to tell me what their problems are. Joe Arpaio They see us interacting with people, they see us doing serious interviews, they see us having fun, and when you're conversing with someone, you get a much clearer impression of who that person is than if they are just reading into a news piece. Katie Couric I'm pale-skinned so I don't feel at my best on a beach. Clive Anderson As far as hypnosis is concerned, I had a very serious problem when I was in my twenties. I encountered a man who later became the president of the American Society of Medical Hypnosis. He couldn't hypnotize me. Theodore Sturgeon I always felt like there was a certain standard of music that I had to do from the beginning, even when I didn't have the recognition th

your heart broken, it's like the end of the world. And I look at it as that was one moment in your life, one chapter. That person helped you grow and figure out what kind of person you want to be with in the future. Colbie Caillat My dad was a great dad. Bijou Phillips I draw the line at letting people into my songwriting cave. To me, that's where the alchemy happens and where the mystery is. Amanda Palmer Nothing is more rewarding than to take a song, create it out of thin air and then watch it affect people. Luke Bryan There is no way to happiness - happiness is the way. Thich Nhat Hanh I hate homemade sweaters. Mo Rocca When people say to me, 'You're like the Anna Kournikova who wins,' I definitely take it as a compliment, because she's quite gorgeous. Amanda Beard Worldly pleasures, such as flow from greatness, riches, honours, and sensual gratifications, are infinitely worse than none. David Brainerd But the child's sob curses de

the record company and going independent or going to another label. To the point we were like, 'Listen, just take 'Lasers.' You can have whatever percentage off the next ten records I do for the rest of my life. I just do not want to be here anymore.' Lupe Fiasco School was pretty good about letting me take up music and that's where I had my first musical ideas and first said, 'Yeah, I'm going to be a musician.' I just had to do a quick stop gap in the army first. James Blunt I like to look at the songs like they're little movies. Brad Paisley I really believe that if you're going to bring a child into the world, it's your job to parent that world. Especially if it's just you; you don't pawn her off on somebody. Jennifer Lynch People want the freedom. They want to be able to shop. If you don't like the shop trading hours and you're a shop owner, you don't have to open. Jay Weatherill My mother insisted that

Controversy is unprofitable. Christ never entered into it. 'It is written' is the weapon used by the world's Redeemer. Let us keep close to the Word. Let us allow the Lord Jesus and His messengers to testify. We know that their testimony is true. Ellen G. White As soon as I had proved this and, of course, also the normal pointing action and reactions in all other extremities and joints, I stopped the experiment. Robert Barany The strokes of the pen need deliberation as much as the sword needs swiftness. Julia Ward Howe I find impressionists slightly annoying, really. Steve Coogan I don't care how long you've been around, you'll never see it all. Bob Lemon I'm a really bad liar. Daniel Craig Never change a winning game; always change a losing one. Bill Tilden I learned more about myself by being an RN than anything else I've ever done. Naomi Judd I wouldn't want to do a whole movie with effects. Stephen Dorff I have three de

parents are actually from the Midwest. I grew up in Beverly Hills, up the street, and I just feel comfortable there. I've shot in Minneapolis, in Detroit, in St. Louis, in Omaha - they would say they're the Plains, not the Midwest - and I love it. Jason Reitman My greatest strength as a child, I realize now, was my imagination. While every other kid was reading and writing, I had seven whole hours a day to practice my imagination. When do you get that space in your life, ever? Barbara Corcoran I got a publishing deal with BMG, they were supportive, and some money to record demos. Duncan Sheik Shoes are a big part of your look. I think that if your outfit isn't really something special, then fun footwear is a great way to jazz it up and make your ensemble more interesting. Christian Siriano The blues is instilled in every musical cell that floats around your body. Nick Cave When the money dries up, the sites die off. That's the way to go after piracy. Jar

as well as live alone, so I can pass an entire day without uttering so much as a hello to another human being. Sometimes a day's conversation consists of only five words, uttered at the local Starbucks: 'Large coffee with milk, please.' Caroline Knapp When I started to recording, I gave the name of Honeyboy, but my people only knew me by Honey. David Edwards It's difficult to not be able to just be yourself without criticism in any position, whether you're in high school, college, or this industry. Raven-Symone I've got friends who are pyrotechnics who do big fire shows, so I'm really fascinated by that. Rosamund Pike Once serious political dialogue has begun, the international community can assume that we have achieved genuine progress along the road to real democratisation. Aung San Suu Kyi Indeed, the whole human species is endangered, by nuclear weapons or by other means of wholesale destruction which further advances in science are likely

different inspirations, you write different things. The point is not necessarily to find your voice, which grinds out the same sort of thing again and again, but to find a vehicle for people who are far more important than the author: the characters. Vikram Seth Even prior to marriage and motherhood, it's always been about prioritising and focusing on what you can commit to. That's been my approach to every aspect of my life, be it my relationships or my professional commitments. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan The painter leaves his mark. And I just put in two statues in Rhode Island that I'm working on. And I think that's going to make me last longer than me. Anthony Quinn You have to make them laugh and then make them listen. Aidan Quinn There are too many fawning entertainment shows out there and not one of them is making fun of it all. David Spade Pilates is my favorite core strengthener. I do it three or four times a week. With all the strengthening and leng

estimate upon the great work of the atonement. The glorious plan of man's salvation was brought about through the infinite love of God the Father. In this divine plan is seen the most marvelous manifestation of the love of God to the fallen race. Ellen G. White But the equipment to protect the players hasn't developed along with that, so now you have more players out with worse injuries, for longer periods of time. Leigh Steinberg It is well known that Beauty does not look with a good grace on the timid advances of Humour. W. Somerset Maugham For all of nature's wonder and beauty, it is also hostile and unpredictable. Liam Neeson Comedy's really subjective, you know. Karl Pilkington Americans are like Pac Man. We just eat our way through the day. There's always something going into the mouth. Diane Lane There are two reasons for drinking: one is, when you are thirsty, to cure it; the other, when you are not thirsty, to prevent it. Thomas Love Peac

before the film was made, and she got the book and read it. She reminded me that when I was about five years old, I used to sit in the kitchen for hours and talk about my 'other' family in Africa, my other mother and father. I had totally forgotten that. Henry Selick It's really rare that you come across a Southern character that's not stereotyped, vilified or aggrandized. Anson Mount My manager said it would more effective against left-handed hitters. It seemed to me that was impossible to do without the high leg kick, which I started that day. Juan Marichal I know I'm not a bully and everybody has their opinions and that's fine with me. NeNe Leakes A man is educated and turned out to work. But a woman is educated and turned out to grass. Pearl S. Buck I can always remember the dances, even from shows I did 40 years ago. Gwen Verdon It's very interesting what you don't care about. Doris Lessing Improvisation is too good to leave to

of the black family. Men and women were not legally allowed to get married because you couldn't have that kind of love. It might get in the way of the economics of slavery. Your children could be taken from you and literally sold down the river. Kerry Washington In those days, male dancers were a rarer breed than women. as they are still today, A good male dancer, one as strong as we were, was very difficult to come by if you couldn't afford to pay them. Twyla Tharp Be able to recognize many of the major constellations and know the stories behind them. Marilyn vos Savant Households and businesses cut expenses every day. Passing a financial down payment alongside the debt limit sends the right message to the public, and gives members of Congress greater comfort, or cover, depending on your perspective. John Sununu For me, screenwriting is all about setting characters in motion and as a writer just chasing them. They should tell you what they'll do in any scene yo
