how something will turn out. The ups and downs are constant. You're never just smoothly sailing along. You're always going to be on loose footing. That's what ultimately now I expect and accept and that doesn't scare me as much. Elisabeth Shue Most people I know I think agree and even many theists agree with this. We don't want government involved. Michael Newdow The most important thing is that Milosevic agreed to sit at the negotiating table with the Kosovo Albanians. Boris Yeltsin My family's the most important thing in my life. Joe Namath I have to be honest, I am a true jeans and t-shirt girl. Emmanuelle Chriqui Millions have been taken from me. If you are not on top of it and you make a lot of money, and you trust business managers, then, yes, money will be taken from you. Stephanie Mills I figured out it was a social thing, what women were allowed to do. At a very young age, I decided I was not going to follow women's rules. Joan Je

or tolerating bores at parties. Being a virtuous human being takes practice; and those who are brilliant at being human (what Christians call the saints) are the virtuosi of the moral sphere - the Pavarottis and Maradonas of virtue. Terry Eagleton Menswear is about subtlety. It's about good style and good taste. Alexander McQueen I do think I tend to be typecast, but it doesn't necessarily bother me. Jodelle Ferland I want England to understand - the rest of the world to understand - what is going on in America. And I want America to understand what is going on in the rest of the world. Usher I am a great lover of art, in many forms: paintings, objets, textiles. I don't have the talent for painting, but I have a very good sense of colour, a love of visual beauty. Jacqueline Bisset Marriage is one long conversation, chequered by disputes. Robert Louis Stevenson I don't want to be a propagandist or say that Pakistan is just great. There are problems, but

think they were completely useless and we should get rid of them. I don't necessarily feel that way anymore. I'm still ambivalent, I still loathe the British class system, and the Royal family are the apex of the British class system. Helen Mirren Life was a funny thing that happened to me on the way to the grave. Quentin Crisp You can't have a United States if you are telling some folks that they can't get on the train. There is a cracking point where a society collapses. Bruce Springsteen One out of three jobs in Washington is tied to trade. Larry Williams I always fancied someone might call me 'Red,' like Katherine Hepburn. Deborah Ann Woll I think I'd be a great mom, honestly. I don't think I'll have any problem giving them all the love in the world. Discipline will be the hard part. Queen Latifah I love variety in my life. Elisabetta Canalis If you have three people in your life that you can trust, you can consider yourself

it instantly becomes an exercise in self-consciousness. Instead of a journal I manage to have dozens of notebooks with bits and pieces of stories, poems, and notes. Almost every thing I do has its beginning in a notebook of some sort, usually written on a bus or train. Walter Dean Myers Reality TV has totally destroyed soap operas. They're gone. They used to be the biggest thing in the world - they're gone. Gilbert Gottfried When you are enthusiastic about what you do, you feel this positive energy. It's very simple. Paulo Coelho I want to make beautiful paintings. But I don't make beautiful paintings by putting beautiful paint on a canvas with a beautiful motif. It just doesn't work. I expect my paintings to be strong and surprising. Albert Oehlen The '60s are my favorite decade - with the Cold War, the women's movement. And then there's the music, the fashion, the clothes, the hair. Margot Robbie I'm a girl who eats, I love to eat.

them. Because I don't know myself. 'Why did you do a pair of pants like that?' I have no idea. I'm not going to have a 20-minute political discussion about the necessity for slashed, painted leather jeans. Basically, I don't know more than you. Hedi Slimane For the sake of our interests, as well as of our honour and dignity, we were obliged to see that we won for our international policy the same independence that we had secured for our European policy. Bernhard von Bulow Antwone's story was a story of hope and that's what appealed to me. I needed hope myself at that time. I think all actors give up at some time and think they're never going to make it. Derek Luke I was born in Messina, Sicily. I stayed there until I was 18 and finished my studies. Maria Grazia Cucinotta Fashion is the science of appearance, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be. Henry Fielding Both of us played basketball, and I played tennis and m

really a culture geared to anything as humble as 'learning.' But I was disappointed in how quickly everyone wanted to get back to normal. It was as if we watched terrorism on TV for a while, then got bored and turned back to 'American Idol.' Jess Walter People who passionately want to believe that the world is basically simple react to this with a fury that goes beyond what I consider appropriate for discussing a programming language. Bjarne Stroustrup Painting, I think it's like jazz. Brian Eno If you look at the various strategies available for dealing with a new technology, sticking your head in the sand is not the most plausible strategy. Ralph Merkle What a terrible thing it would be to be the Pope! What unthinkable responsibilities to fall on your shoulders at an advanced age! No privacy. No seclusion. No sin. Roger Ebert Rappers tend to use words sometimes that just rhyme and don't really mean nothing. Trick Daddy A man doesn't plant

poetry is everything that headline news is not. It takes us inside situations, helps us imagine life from more than one perspective, honors imagery and metaphor - those great tools of thought - and deepens our confidence in a meaningful world. Naomi Shihab Nye Britain's such a twisted, weird little place. Graham Norton My dad used to draw these great cartoon figures. His dream was being a cartoonist, but he never achieved it, and it kind of broke my heart. I think part of my interest in art had to do with his yearning for something he could never have. Kathryn Bigelow I make a good fried chicken. Norah Jones Revolutions demand enormous sacrifices and, at the same time, create a new need to change the world again. Friedrich Durrenmatt When I visit a country, I like to experience local food. Bruno Tonioli In many cases, the user interface to a program is the most important part for a commercial company: whether the programs works correctly or not seems to be seconda

we choose to keep a tax break for corporate jet owners, if we choose to keep tax breaks for oil and gas companies that are making hundreds of billions of dollars, then that means we've got to cut some kids off from getting a college scholarship. Barack Obama I know we will look back on this and think how odd it was we were championing the rights of lone mothers to bring up their children on benefit. Harriet Harman In today's politics, it would be good to have politicians who are more upfront about what they felt and actually not trying to bend with every breeze. They're infuriating, all of them. Jim Broadbent I came late to the genre of folk music. Tom Morello The hands of every clock are shears, trimming us away scrap by scrap, and every time piece with a digital readout blinks us towards implosion. Dean Koontz Tattoos are so widespread, so ugly and so very, very permanent. You can, in theory, have them removed - but a large chunk of your living flesh will g

2009. I'm always trying to market like it's 2015, but not like it's 2020. A lot of my contemporaries who understand where the world is going, go too far out, and aren't practical. I have always prided myself on being visionary, with a heavy practicality. Gary Vaynerchuk I didn't go to university, and so, every time that I work, I'm looking for a teacher in a way. I'm looking for people that I can learn from and to have the chance to work with people that I admire. Diego Luna I did a production of Macbeth in the 1960s in which I had a swordfight in the final scene. But the blade fell off my sword just as I was stabbing the guy. I ended up having to hammer him to death. Alan Dale I like a gooey cookie. Trisha Yearwood A good record transports you to another place. Ty Segall You can ask me pretty much anything. There'll be things I'll go, 'That feels a little too personal.' But most things I don't have a fear of being asked ab

the Alpha, the Omega. He's Big Daddy. He gives out these little soldiers and sons and angels and saints to help everybody else get through to him. I'm not the 'Jesus-only or you're going to Hell' kind of guy. Duane Chapman To make us a terrorist target in a region that is full of terrorism is dumb and unforgiveable. John Hewson But I do have an idea in my head before I go in about what I'm going to do. Caroline Corr We have gone through everything as a nation - partition, dictatorship, and even anarchy. Fatos Nano For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide. Johnny Cash I thought Christians were walking idiots. Josh McDowell I learn by going where I have to go. Theodore Roethke Well, I don't think characters change. I think they become more revealed. I don't think you really can change a character on a show. Lisa Edelstein If you want to catch more fish, use more hooks. George Allen, Sr. Usually when a woman is 60, it'

I don't have a secretary. I can't figure out Outlook Express. I'm the worst person in the world answering e-mails, and my phone is probably the oldest, most battered phone you can find. So I just talk to people. Bruce Dickinson Radical thought has inspired many of the great political and social reform movements in American history, from ending slavery to establishing the minimum wage. Carl Bernstein Going to war without France is like going hunting without an accordion. Norman Schwarzkopf The generality of men are naturally apt to be swayed by fear rather than reverence, and to refrain from evil rather because of the punishment that it brings than because of its own foulness. Aristotle I was never born to write. I was taught to write. And I am still being taught to write. Atul Gawande Like a lot of freelance cartoonists, when any opportunity like that comes along, I have a hard time saying no, whether it makes sense or not. Jim Woodring There are a thousan

we do know is that wherever we are, that's where the Light wants us to be. It's the best place for us to be now. And as long as we don't try to control the situation, then we won't end up in the place we shouldn't be. Yehuda Berg I've always been - you know, my personality is motivating and encouraging. And so I'm just being who God made me to be. Joel Osteen I know when I'm working I seldom get into trouble. My educated guess is that boredom has caused most of the problems with Hollywood celebrities. Hedy Lamarr When you make a great record, it's around forever. Dean Ween These are classic, perennial ideals we are dealing with. Rob Morrow There's a set of rules out there somewhere that says it all ends by 40. I hope to be able to defy that because I truly love my work. Naomi Watts I tended to emphasize the secular, the casual, the colloquial, the vernacular against the sacred. David Antin Christ: I dislike him very much. Sti

I didn't really like the books that I was reading, so I decided that I would write a book about something I'd want to read if I was 16. It turned into a Cinderella story... I developed a proposal and the characters of 'Gossip Girl' for my job. Cecily von Ziegesar I'm very hard on myself and I have too many issues. Mariah Carey Everybody always wants to rebel against their parents' music, but nobody listened to music louder than my dad. Dan Auerbach A lot of Thanksgiving days have been ruined by not carving the turkey in the kitchen. Kin Hubbard Tomorrow hopes we have learned something from yesterday. John Wayne We know that BP cuts safety corners, takes risks, and is unconcerned about anything other than their own profit. Robert Greenwald Navigation is power of a limited sort - it enables us to manage the immensity of the media torrent. Todd Gitlin Some people would rather stay ignorant and self-satisfied. Janis Ian My brother never had m

about oral care. That half of adults suffer from oral disease, that the number one chronic disease among children is oral disease, that we're only taking care of 25% of our mouths when brushing alone and there are more germs in your mouth than there are people on the planet. Ginnifer Goodwin For nobody is curious, who isn't malevolent. Plautus I was very bitter, frustrated, hurt, angry - I went through all types of emotions when I first was out of the WNBA. Sheryl Swoopes I want my life to effect the balance to the positive. Mira Sorvino I have never once regretted missing a business opportunity so that I could be with my children and grandchildren. Mitt Romney I don't think it's so hard to be commercial and interesting. Look at Prince, or Neil Young. Sufjan Stevens 'E.T.' was a healing movie; it was a heart movie. It was all about getting about getting home and love. Dee Wallace I am convinced that you don't need to spend a fortune to l

used to being someone who's petitioning the establishment for acceptance... my whole schtick, my whole identity, is so wrapped up in being a petitioner that I don't really know how to react now that petition has been granted. Toby Young When I have a child, it will be probably become my whole life, so I don't want to have any regrets that I should have done more. Sienna Miller I feel like there is this weird thing where celebrity involvement in political campaigns kind of goes together like peanut butter and chocolate. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. Rashida Jones The truth of things is the chief nutriment of superior intellects. Leonardo da Vinci It horrifies me how much it costs to put on shows now, mainly due to EU regulations. The freedom to be entrepreneurial is no longer there. It's a massive business now. Cameron Mackintosh It's great to be able to do shows like 'Falling in Love with the Girl Next Door,' which I think i

in Manchester closing ranks because of the IRA bombings in Birmingham and Manchester, and you know the bin-workers' strike, all wrapped up in it... They were violent times. Violence at home and violence at football matches. Noel Gallagher Learn how to live and you'll know how to die; learn how to die, and you'll know how to live. Morrie Schwartz Sometimes I just said, 'I don't want tilapia anymore; I can't even deal with salad. I want M&M's and Ruffles.' Sherri Shepherd I was never forced to go to church, and there is a lot of beauty in Christianity that I take in my life as a gift, and there is a lot of beauty in other religions. I'm kind of a spiritual mutt. Emily Saliers My visit this autumn is an opportunity to continue that rich tradition of visits between Canterbury and Rome. Rowan Williams They keep telling me that my flow's up to date, you know. I guess they thought I was gonna come back sounding... old. Cheryl James

climb into a tree and imagine that I was on an island, that the grass below we was an ocean, that the leaves were the fins of sharks. Perhaps unlike many people, I never really stopped. I still have a childlike predisposition to fantasise and share my fantasies. Mohsin Hamid When you write what you know, you stay in control. One of the first things I encourage my writing students to do is to lose control - say what they want to say, break structure. Natalie Goldberg One day when I was 8 years old, everyone was talking in hushed tones about a great scientist that had just died. His name was Albert Einstein. Michio Kaku I still dance, probably three times a week, unless I'm working on a crazy job, and then I just don't have any free time at all. Summer Glau I did play Jesus in 'Godspell,' in high school, because I guess I'm a nerd. Jessica Pare Everyone's quick to blame the alien. Aeschylus I was treated with a miracle drug, just like Lance Armst

and you get it by standing in the trenches and traveling the world, people realize you're multi-faceted. Part of me is a serious journalist and I loved all of the stuff I did. And then there's another part of me that likes to let go and I think a lot of women can relate to that. Hoda Kotb Buddhism has in it no idea of there being a moral law laid down by somekind of cosmic lawgiver. Alan Watts I tried therapy. This had never appealed to me. For me, it was a bit like a Chinese meal: very filling at the time, but then an hour later you're hungry again. Rod Stewart I think the next president needs to lead on cultural issues and experience, particularly on foreign policy. Sam Brownback Learn the art of the pitch and of messaging. Tim Ferriss Over time, the product we produce has been consistently successful here in America and around the world. Apparently, we are doing something right. Michael Eisner I'm still at the beginning of my career. It's all a

to have an American audience watch the movie. It is a reaction to a certain American cinema, its violence, its naivety, the way American cinema toys with human beings. In many American films, violence is made consumable. Michael Haneke I want to see where and how far I can go as an artist. I look back and see what I've done, and I want to do as much as I can in my lifetime. I love doing it. If I didn't have that passion or love for it, I wouldn't do it. Paul Weller Spend time reflecting on your emotional and physical existence and how that applies to the voice. You have to apply that wisdom and experience when you sing - it's what comes through. K. D. Lang The only thing I'm addicted to is winning. This bootleg cult, arrogantly referred to as Alcoholics Anonymous, reports a 5 percent success rate. My success rate is 100 percent. Charlie Sheen I cannot allow state government to continue to be consumed by this game of political 'gotcha.' Ernie Fle

have set humanity on fire are the projects of the emancipation of individuals from entrenched social division and hierarchy; in such a world individuals must never be puppets or prisoners of the societies or cultures into which they have been born. Roberto Unger We were united not only by political respect for each other, but also by deep mutual sympathy as people. Helmut Kohl We must keep on trying to solve problems, one by one, stage by stage, if not on the basis of confidence and cooperation, at least on that of mutual toleration and self-interest. Lester B. Pearson People say you don't need a father to be successful. I take offense to that. Dwight Howard I was a beach boy, and I believe I learned my songs from the birds of the Brazilian forest. Antonio Carlos Jobim My father has a pragmatic mind. He marched with Dr. King in the '60s, and he's very much for women's rights. Tori Amos I voted no on the resolution to give the president authority to go

was not surprising, but it was unexpected. Who predicted the Arab Spring? Nobody expected it, but all the ingredients were there. I think all the ingredients are also there for Quebec to become a country. But when? That's another question. Gilles Duceppe Honestly, I just think we all have special gifts, everyone. You know, obviously, some are more noticeable than others and that's why there's the limelight. Everybody's in it. Kelly Clarkson I looked up to my father when I was 7 and 8. I believed it was my calling to be in the big leagues. I'd been raised by a family that always told me I could do anything I wanted. Barry Zito If you don't tour, you cannot expect to sell a huge numbers of your albums either. It was both a business - and an economical decision and we wanted to play anyway. We just wanted to get out for the tour when it was safe enough for us. Kerry King Olympic athletes have to find a job right after they're done competing. Apolo

One is from Nicaragua. One is from Nepal. One is from Guatemala. One is from Laos. They don't come off. I walk into a lot of very high-level boardrooms now, and I present to distinguished conferences, but these bracelets remind me of the places I've been and the people I've met. Adam Braun I think corporations are a whole lot different than people. I mean, I don't know a corporation would be put in prison. I do know people would be put in prison. Jon Tester Any new financial order for the world must tackle the three chief challenges of our age. James Buchan Man is now in charge of the thermostat for the globe. Tom Udall No matter what you study, the thing that you know best is what you grew up with. Maria Sharapova Everything is about your movements and precision and timing, which is what gymnastics is about. Shawn Johnson The process of a date, I think, is terrible. Horrible. Because everything is banal and predicted. Miuccia Prada I'm a secret

Hugh Jackman, Olivia Wilde, Alicia Silverstone - all-star cast and it was a fun set to be on. I've gotten really lucky to get all these down-to-earth cast members. 'Butter' is about butter carving in Iowa. Ashley Greene I've worked with Steven Spielberg three times. I'm proud to say that I'm one of those actors that continues to get hired by the same directors. Joe Pantoliano It is scrutiny by the general public that keeps the powerful honest. Heather Brooke I've always been a pretty private, quiet kind of person and so I haven't had to change my life really at all, I don't think. Keith Urban I've got a great sense of humor, and if I'm able to say or do something in a movie that people feel like they want to repeat, that's hugely flattering. Matthew McConaughey Gentility is what is left over from rich ancestors after the money is gone. John Ciardi The worst thing that ever happened to me on stage is someone ran forward t

the entire coalition and to as many Americans as possible; not to go chasing after one little group or another. The Democrats would bring new groups into their party and not notice that larger groups are going out the back door. Grover Norquist I'd rather be good than lucky. Brian Bosworth At 40, I went to bed for three days. I thought my life is over. William Shatner The reason to deal with Social Security is that it is a system where we have a tradition and history of making sure it is solidly funded for 75 years. At the moment, we look out and we see it is solidly funded until 2037. Jacob Lew It is not easy to grow old in this business, when you are a woman above all, in the cinema. Emmanuelle Beart 'Friends', even though it was the longest single job I've had, still to me at the end of the day, when it was over it was a job. David Schwimmer I would be too selfish if I said everyone should see my movies more than once. To say that would mean I'm

stood for. This country is basically built on an attitude. It's a way of life. It's not because you're born here. It's not that you're supposed to take from those who have and give to those who haven't. That kills a country. It killed Russia. Luke Scott You just keep feeding hogwash to people, and pretty soon they'll eat it. Holly Near I try not to have actors in mind when I write because the tendency then is to be influenced by either their last performance or your favourite of their performances. Christopher Nolan I do quite naughty things now. I do like to be a bit sexy. Kylie Minogue Indeed, American companies make three times as much profits from their investment in one E.U. country, Ireland, than they do from all their investments in China. John Bruton I lived the true American dream, because I was able to pursue what I set as my goals at a very young age. Mario Andretti Disguise our bondage as we will, 'Tis woman, woman, rules us

without God and angels by my side, because I was born. And right as I was born, I went into a respiratory arrest. So, big things that keep me going are friends and family, God. And another thing is looking forward to what's going to happen tomorrow. Mattie Stepanek Believe in love. Believe in magic. Hell, believe in Santa Clause. Believe in others. Believe in yourself. Believe in your dreams. If you don't, who will? Jon Bon Jovi The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will loose. James Earl Jones Anybody under the age of forty knows hip-hop, gospel and R&B pretty well, and it's all a part of what we consider to be 'black music.' There is a natural synergy between the three. John Legend Tony knew me both as an athlete and as a person. He cared for me like a father. Dennis Eckersley A horse is the projection of peoples' dr

of executive branch actions can reveal serious shortcomings by government officials and help prevent recurrence; the 'Waco hearings,' conducted over a two-week period in 1995, stand as an example of such an undertaking. Bob Barr When I was six years old, my mother died; and then, for the first time, I learned, by the talk around me, that I was a slave. Harriet Ann Jacobs I love those hockey moms. You know what they say the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull is? Lipstick. Sarah Palin I don't have expectations. Expectations in your life just lead to giant disappointments. Michael Landon The most perfect expression of human behavior is a string quartet. Jeffrey Tate There's no question that many factors contribute to voters' perceptions about debates and who wins and who loses. Mark McKinnon It's fine to have anal sex as long as you're not in high school. Mia Kirshner My music was my life, and it played a large part in my inabil

Chicago. I attended Glenbard South High School and University of Illinois. I didn't study acting until I moved to Los Angeles after college, but the fact that I was raised in the Chicago area set the stage for all of my comedic and acting sensibilities. Ryan McPartlin I imagined that it might be awkward to talk to your wife about her performance, so going into it I was a little nervous. But doing it was actually a wonderfully inspiring experience. Lasse Hallstrom Throughout his life, Ronald Reagan believed America is capable of great things and its people could and would lead the way if left unburdened by taxation and regulation. William L. Jenkins Lenny Bruce is a very moral man trying to improve the world and trying to make audiences think. Dorothy Kilgallen The hero, the mythical subject, is constructed as human being and as male; he is the active principle of culture, the establisher of distinction, the creator of differences. Teresa de Lauretis I don't reall

you.' Why? Because, you see, that superior, elite group needs to feel superior and elite. And they can't be superior and elite unless you have a whole lot of people down there groveling around. So you keep them down there by feeding them. Ben Carson I'm sure the movie industry is going up but I would love to see more Chinese films about contemporary Chinese about the problems of life on the street. Paz Vega Because of this the representation I'm interested in is of those things only the eye can touch. Kenneth Noland So, it didn't do well. But now when I talk to kids who are first seeing it, they're surprised to hear the movie failed at the box office. Sometimes that's what happens. David Zucker This war of choice in Iraq is undermining the very fabric of American society. Raul Grijalva The wider world is a click away, but whether we mean to or not, we're usually filtering it out. Ethan Zuckerman Sports without music is just a game. Musi

it's too easy, that only sweaty, strenuous activity offers real benefits. But there is abundant evidence that regular, brisk walking is associated with better health, including lower blood pressure, better moods and improved cholesterol ratios. Andrew Weil Each experience I go through - marriage, my public life, my personal life - I'm learning as I go. Jason Sudeikis I was taking myself very seriously when I was going through life changes. And I realized that I needed to laugh at myself, particularly at my mistakes. Spencer Johnson Though every legal task demands this skill, it is especially important in the effort to frame public policy in a way that is properly responsive to human needs and predicaments. The question is always: How will the general rule work in practice? Elliot Richardson And actually, about three weeks ago, Micky, Peter and I were in Vegas at the MGM Grand. And we did about 12 shows in seven days. It was quite an experience. Davy Jones In the

next thing to do, instead of approach record companies, is to get yourself a really good manager because then it allows you to focus on your profession of being a musician. Then they can focus on the darker art of the record label and the music industry. James Blunt People think I am the crazy person on stage, but I know how to relax. Bruce Forsyth I grew up pretty peacefully, in that Eastern way. You easily solve problems, believe in harmony. Reduce conflicts, take orders until one day you give orders. Ang Lee My guitar only has five strings 'cause the top one broke and I decided not to put it back on: when I play chords I only play bar chords, and the top one always used to cut me there. Brian Eno It's fun to peek into other people's worlds and see how they go about doing things. Norah Jones My mother and dad played the fiddle and the guitar. Gordie Howe I always knew that there was something that made me different, and by the time I was in high school,

while checking on homework and housework; clearing the dinner plates while setting out bowls for breakfast; making sure we ate our breakfast while lining up bread, lunch meats, apples, and snacks assembly-line style so we could make our lunches. Christine Pelosi That means presenting the issues in certain ways that will appeal to those people and then becoming a prisoner of your own language and thought process. That has always happened - it's just been intensified. Robert Scheer Well I do find the beauty in animals. I find beauty everywhere. I find beauty in my garden. Doris Day I'm totally comfortable today with the success that Omar and 'The Wire' have brought me - living with that character, being recognized and remembered for that character. Michael K. Williams If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose. Charles Bukowski My son walked up to Nicole on the beach and I was throwing the ball for the dogs

their budget and what they're proposing. Romney wants to let the - he said in the first 100 days he's going to let the big banks once again write their own rules - unchain Wall Street. They're gonna put y'all back in chains. Joe Biden People see me on TV two and three times a day, and see me cooking all these wonderfully Southern, fattening dishes. That's only 30 days out of 365. And it's for entertainment. Paula Deen History is an endless repetition of the wrong way of living. Lawrence Durrell I was kind of reluctant to sing on the 'Housewives' because there are so many 'Housewives' that are singing that can't really sing. I didn't want to get out there and sing and not be taken seriously. NeNe Leakes If you think about it now, it's kind of ridiculous. All these hot girls on Baywatch in tiny little red bathing suits running around saving lives. Carmen Electra I don't keep secrets from my parents, really; it's p

where I've decided to just test myself and my mettle, and for no good reason other than it's what life is. Even before I was acting, I had, like, one day in high school I decided to just show them my pajamas, just for no good reason. Will Ferrell Reviews condition people. At the end of the day, a lot of human minds are malleable. They can be easily shaped with strong words. Drake I'm so thankful for the Internet because actors and singers and performers now have a way to connect with their fans on a very personal level which I think is quite special. Ariana Grande There's always been a religious strain in me. I can't get rid of it. I don't want to get rid of it. I'm not involved in a church, but I understand that impulse to believe in something that's never going to betray you. Ruth Wilson My dad was Jewish. My mom is not. So I was not raised anything. Matt Lauer I consider myself a human being, a Christian, a father, a husband, so many th

stories. The film industry has been slow to wake up to that, for a variety of reasons. It still shocks me how few films are written or made in England about working-class life, given that those are the people who go to movies. Stephen Daldry This is a very screwed-up business. Record labels don't sign a lot of bands these days. We just want to find a home and stay there and make records and do our thing and not have to look over our shoulder. Andy Taylor I don't see a lot of films. I'm quite choosy, but there's certain films that stick out. Christopher Eccleston I vote and I do jury duty. Christopher Hitchens It has to do with the fact that Ford, for all his greatness, is an Irish egomaniac, as anyone who knows him will say. Henry Fonda I no longer care about the financial system. I gave them my roadmap. OK? Thanks, bye. I've no idea what's going on. I'm disconnected. I'm totally disengaged. Nassim Nicholas Taleb In 10 years, I'd lo

single image through multiple perspectives and from separate moments in time. He would look at a woman's face and he would see almost a three-dimensional look even though it was a flat canvas. I thought, well why couldn't we do the same thing with a football play? Steve Sabol Let me start by saying, I'm utterly disgusted with the former members of the Dead Kennedys. Jello Biafra The old always think the world is getting worse; it is for the young, equipped with historical facts, to point out that, compared with 1509, or even 1939, life in 2009 is sweet as honey. Hilary Mantel One of the things that's great about doing a show over and over again... is that you have to find ways to make it spontaneous, as though everything is happening for the first time... to continue to mine the material and find new things. Bebe Neuwirth My mother was Canadian, so you never knew what she was thinking. Shirley MacLaine It's tough to know the value of water until it

It should have information, should have some history, should have something that's offbeat, quirky, humorous, and where called for it, should have journalism, and judiciously it should also have commentary. That's my ideal. Bob Costas Although many of his other novels are brilliant there is a power in 'Oliver Twist' that I believe Dickens never managed to retrieve. It is as if he was sent to this earth with the sole purpose of writing this book. Henning Mankell I can't help but care about the rights of the people I used to shower with. Jack Kemp Use your brain, not your endurance. Peter Thomson Let everyone regulate his conduct... by the golden rule of doing to others as in similar circumstances we would have them do to us, and the path of duty will be clear before him. William Wilberforce I got lost but look what I found. Irving Berlin A part of me has become immortal, out of my control. Brian Eno I don't think I am evangelical in my work.

to flute and piano. My mom always definitely kept me in some kind of class or program, but for guitar, I kinda gave up on then kinda just taught myself. Same thing with piano. I've never been good with following lessons. Elle Varner Childhood has its secrets and its mysteries; but who can tell or who can explain them! Max Muller I time everything. I'm a scientist at heart. Ina Garten I always think I am going to do my best. Emily Watson A neighborhood friend showed me how it was possible to go to a camera shop and pick up chemicals for pennies... literally... and develop your own film and make prints. Leonard Nimoy Every poem probably has sixty drafts behind it. Mary Karr People hate me because I am a multifaceted, talented, wealthy, internationally famous genius. Jerry Lewis Yes, God is the end of your work, but He is the beginning also. Joseph Barber Lightfoot Grateful people may recover faster from trauma. Deborah Norville It's always nice to e

shall overcome.' Everybody would sing it. Music helped us. James Brown, 'Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud.' They helped black people figure out how to navigate what was a very treacherous place in America for them. Geoffrey Canada Fortunately, in the place where I went out, they had set up a little previously a fence which prevented me finally from smashing against trees. I went out with a broken leg only. A small price to be paid at the time for an accident of this kind. Jacky Ickx I guess I'm too outspoken. Sharon Tate I think what sets this one apart is that there are two horror movie icons finally battling each other. You actually see them beat the crap out of each other instead of just terrorizing the kids in the movie. Monica Keena It's the cable shows that are really the most interesting - 'Mad Men,' 'Breaking Bad,' those shows are really the premiere shows on television right now. Dylan McDermott Power is no blessi

shows. It flickered into focus at the New Museum's 'Younger Than Jesus' last year and ran through the Whitney Biennial, and I'm seeing it blossom and bear fruit at 'Greater New York,' MoMA P.S. 1's twice-a-decade extravaganza of emerging local talent. Jerry Saltz I've got an article where my mum says that I used to run home from school to watch the Stones on TV. Right from when I was at college I wanted to be in that band. Ron Wood When you first come into Parliament, it's a daunting place because you feel you've so much to learn. Once you've been re-elected, you feel much more confident. It just gives you a bit of a boost. Theresa May I learned that unemployment can be the great educator. David Caruso Over the next few years the boardrooms of America are going to light up with hot flashes. Gail Sheehy My parents told me I would become a doctor and then in my spare time I would become a concert pianist. So, both my day job and

when and how: through struggle and strife or through advancement and progressive leadership. Larry Elliot described it today as the 'Green New Deal.' It's a leadership we in Britain can provide, and from which our economy can benefit. Lucy Powell When you're in prison, you either embrace religion or you reject it. I embraced it; it was a very spiritual time for me. Henrique Capriles Radonski When someone gets a job, it better be clear what they did to get it. Mark V. Hurd I don't look at Twitter between events because it's a distraction but I will ring my fiance and parents to let them know how it's going. Jessica Ennis They say men and women can't be friends, but that's not true. Ginnifer Goodwin Anything that has cynicism to it and that's jaded is smutty. Sandra Bernhard I'd love to travel to the Holy Land. Loretta Lynn I don't care who you are or what you have gone through - everyone has something they are fighting

school picture, that has 'I love you, Daddy' written on it. She's always made fun of me because I never changed that picture out. It's like my resistance to her getting older. It was the first thing she'd ever written to me and it means the world to me. Kiefer Sutherland You want to go to work with people you like and where everyone is having fun. Megan Fox I'm sure most of us remember being a kid and you have all of this endless time where two weeks before Christmas feels like ten years. I used to go to bed to try and go to sleep to try and make it go faster. Andrea Arnold You know my dad pushed me to believe that I was going to be the best. I just never thought of life without tennis, even looking forward. Andre Agassi I'm a wet liberal really, and always have been. But I'm sort of an aggressive wet liberal. Max Hastings I think Andy Kaufman is to comedy what the Velvet Underground was to music - it's like, 80 thousand records sold,

and it was called Wiff-waff! And there, I think, you have the difference between us and the rest of the world. Other nations, the French, looked at a dining table and saw an opportunity to have dinner; we looked at it an saw an opportunity to play Wiff-waff. Boris Johnson When they're good, I like working with new actors. John C. Reilly Sometimes, if you really don't know how you feel about a topic, reading how both sides argue it can help. Elayne Boosler Right now we have a closure rate between discovery and exploitation of four to six months. We need to be more in the realm of seven to 10 days. That is an enormous challenge. John W. Thompson Architecture is the thoughtful making of space. Louis Kahn I know people sometimes have this fantasy about Cornwall. But the Cornish are so grounded. Tori Amos My songs are a direct route into my brain and my heart. Vanessa Carlton And I think my daughter knows now that our life is split in two. Half of the year is sp

see the 18th century wood churches with the onion dome architecture. These humble wonders of incredible imagination of architects that were obviously not living in places like Paris or London, but they've created these amazing churches. Andre Leon Talley I let people say and write what they want. Ruud van Nistelrooy I believe in not over thinking things too much. When the right thing comes along, you really don't have a choice. Jason Schwartzman I'm ashamed and embarrassed to say that I've read very little of David Foster Wallace's work. It's a huge gap in my education, one of many. Ben Fountain It takes courage to know when you ought to be afraid. James A. Michener All my friends were going off to be professionals, and I said I wanted to be an actor. Harrison Ford The cultivation of sensibility on purely personal lines may, in fact, be the very worst training for a world where only the corporate and the cooperative will matter. John Grierson

With this capability, the vast majority of human communications are automatically ingested without targeting. If I wanted to see your emails or your wife's phone, all I have to do is use intercepts. I can get your emails, passwords, phone records, credit cards. Edward Snowden Your private life is your private life and you keep it to yourself. You get more respect that way. Jay Kay I write with a mouse, because it has no psychological associations or memories or habits associated with it. Fred Frith Can't disagree with the need for a grasp of history. Gwen Ifill I've never been able to control my public image. Erica Jong If being recalled is the price for keeping one's promises, then so be it. Russell Pearce Disease and ill health are caused largely by damage at the molecular and cellular level, yet today's surgical tools are too large to deal with that kind of problem. Ralph Merkle When they're good, there is nothing like a big film. Danny

mustn't mix, don't mix, that is itself a political statement. Even if you are writing a 19th-century novel where the money comes from a plantation in the Caribbean and you don't talk about that, that itself is a political thing. Mohsin Hamid All interesting heroes have an Achilles' heel. Jo Nesbo I've got Asperger's syndrome and I'm not a very good people person, so I've always been more comfortable around machinery. Not in a weird way - I don't want to marry my car or anything stupid like that! Gary Numan Great men, unknown to their generation, have their fame among the great who have preceded them, and all true worldly fame subsides from their high estimate beyond the stars. Henry David Thoreau The right of an inventor to his invention is no monopoly - in any other sense than a man's house is a monopoly. Daniel Webster I'd love to play Carmen - it's the perfect mezzo role. Katherine Jenkins With our national savings ra

an audience. You learn so much about the business of laughter that you can't learn on a set, because it's all on you. Sometimes you bomb, and you know not to tell that joke again... You just hope people find the humor in the awkwardness. Marlon Wayans I've never had a chance to sit down and enjoy what's happened - I've been too panicked about the next move. So I took some time out. I thought either I do this now or in 10 years' time I'll end up in the Priory. Adam Rickitt I think, from every actor I've ever spoken to, they say the biggest thing they regret from life is not finishing school. Tom Holland I'm not super-athletic. Andrew Bogut I was in love with the idea of being in love with a woman way before I was actually in love with one. Jimmy Carr If there is one realm in which it is essential to be sublime, it is in wickedness. You spit on a petty thief, but you can't deny a kind of respect for the great criminal. Denis Diderot

are in formation. I have to say I have a lot of concern about the numbers of women - and men, now - who are not getting the support that they need. There are not the families and the communities around that there used to be. Quentin Bryce Once I had all the attention, all I had to do was deliver. Ethel Merman I trained at The Groundlings and was surrounded by some very funny women and also some very unfunny men. I didn't feel a sense of things being different because I was a girl. Kaitlin Olson I also follow chess on the Internet, where Kasparov's site is very interesting. Boris Spassky When I go out, I'm not going out to find a man; I'm going out to dance the night away with my best friends. Mollie King Let's face it, the great comedians now that are handicapped in the looks department are tremendous writers. Jack Black If you became a comedian in the '80s, you had to work the circuit and make people laugh. Canned laughter is cheating. Paul M

poorest New York City neighborhoods, where teacher salaries are often even lower than the city averages, and spending levels in the wealthiest suburban areas are daunting challenges to any hope New Yorkers might retain that even semblances of fairness still prevail. Jonathan Kozol The real question isn't whether you love your kids or not, but how well you are able to demonstrate your love and caring so that your children really feel loved. Stephanie Martson So many girls only care about guys and looking good all the time. Victoria Justice What made us different from other westerns was the fact that 'Gunsmoke' wasn't just action and a lot of shooting; they were character-study shows. James Arness I don't think age has anything to do with what you write about. Gloria Vanderbilt Golf is the most useless outdoor game ever devised to waste the time and try the spirit of man. Westbrook Pegler The only thing I fear more than change is no change. The busin

Dallas, Texas. The only thing that was slightly unusual compared to most of my friends was that I was an only child... I don't think that's why my parents gave me a dummy, at least they've never copped to it. Jeff Dunham I loved movies. They inspired me more than anything growing up and wanted to do for others what those movies have done for me. I do a lot of other creative stuff but am not very good at it. Jay Duplass I think 'Mistresses' is so successful because it's a mixture of intriguing storylines with lots of twists and it is rooted very strongly in reality and it's really glossy. Shelley Conn Class still matters in Britain today. Johnny Vegas In school, I wasn't a very good student - I was very irresponsible and never did the studying but always liked to get the laugh. Ray Romano I think I have gone through my entire public career never telling a lie. I have made mistakes but I never knowingly lied. Ken Livingstone Painting cont

we're not supposed to be concerned with the moral stuff, but let's mention it anyway - shows a culture that is slowly giving in to a futuristic nightmare ideology of computerized greed and unchecked financial violence. Matt Taibbi What I've learned about marriage: You need to have each other's back; you have to be a kind of team going through life. Tom Petty But you answer, that the Constitution recognizes property in slaves. It would be sufficient, then, to reply, that this constitutional recognition must be void, because it is repugnant to the law of nature and of nations. William H. Seward Men's arguments often prove nothing but their wishes. Charles Caleb Colton I need to hear what I am doing in order to create the next note. If I don't hear it then I can't feed myself. Michael Schenker It is amazing that it is my destiny to be the first Aussie to win the Masters. Adam Derek Scott We will be drawing down some troops. If the president wa

I certainly believe in equal rights, I believe that women are just as capable, if not more so in a lot of different dimensions, but I don't, I think have, sort of, the militant drive and the sort of, the chip on the shoulder that sometimes comes with that. Marissa Mayer I used to have a list of things from my school buddies of what kind of art material they wanted. I'd go up to the West End of London and spend the whole day knocking stuff off. Ronald Biggs As screenwriters, we struggle with our own success. We have wallpapered our world and now we can't get anyone to notice the picture we just hung. Paul Schrader You're doing it to make the character as specific as possible, so that it's a specific individual that you're talking about, not that whole class of people. Joel Coen It got to the point in the late 70s and early 80s that I was spending so much money buying golden age comics that I could only justify it if I got work in the media. Bill Mumy

they're making chefs do this.' But then it actually does show off certain skills. And at the end of the day, this is entertainment and this stuff is very entertaining. Is a lot of it ridiculous? Of course it is. But that's what makes it interesting. Tom Colicchio All I can do will only ever be a faint image of what I see and my success will always be less than my failure or perhaps equal to the failure. Alberto Giacometti I really can't be bothered going to a barber. And shaving every morning, that's nightmarish. I spent my teenage years covered in tiny little bits of toilet paper. Alan Moore Change is not threatening. Steve Wynn I am emboldened by my looks to say things Republican men wouldn't. Ann Coulter I'm a New Yorker, you know. Edward Norton Mind and body obstruct one another's pleasures. Mason Cooley I always say you shouldn't weigh yourself. I don't even have a set of scales in my house. Kim Kardashian There is a

I still slightly mistrust writers of fiction who are assured literary critics; it makes me suspect that they favour the word over the world it should describe. Such scribes fall victim too easily to the solecism of equating style with morality. Will Self My relationship with God is what gives me a moral compass on what decisions to make and that stuff. I'm thankful that I have the people around me that I do, and they remind me each day of who I am and what I stand for. Alyson Stoner People want to typecast you; it's human nature. Stacy Keach The groundhogs are pretty good at eluding. If somebody is trying to come after a ground hog, they go and they burrow. Jack Hanna Balance is if you try hard, you work hard then the rewards are in balance with what you put in and what is available. Iain Duncan Smith In any art, you don't know in advance what you want to say - it's revealed to you as you say it. That's the difference between art and illustration. Aa

on your e-mail at all, because it seems to make it feel like you are engaged in an ongoing conversation - as if this one e-mail doesn't represent the beginning and end of the interaction but is just part of a perpetual loop of friendly back-and-forth. Susan Orlean I quite like post-apocalyptic films, things like 'Mad Max' for instance, because they are so full on and there is something quite cleansing about the post-apocalyptic because you can see where we all think we're heading. Anthony Daniels Bear in mind North Korea has been the leading source, a leading source of nuclear technology and of missile delivery systems to some of the world's great rogues in Iran and Syria. Robert McFarlane I have always been considered to be the most German among Italian economists, which I always received as a compliment, but was rarely meant to be one. Mario Monti There's nothing more important than our good health - that's our principal capital asset. Arlen S

probes going up to planets. So, all this wonderful stuff happened in 10 to 15 years. About that time, there should have been enormous initiatives to make it affordable for people to fly in space, not just a handful of trained NASA astronauts and Russian cosmonauts. Burt Rutan Crime and legal stories, broadly speaking, are just where my interest happens to lie. William Landay My house looks like it was decorated by a 14-year old with a platinum American Express card. J. Michael Straczynski Being popular comes when you have everything. But to be liked, it means that you must be treating people with respect and you must be showing kindness toward them. Queen Rania of Jordan The discovery of dance has changed my life in unimaginable ways. Adam Shankman I will always find even the worst paintings that attempt some kind of representation better than the best invented paintings. Balthus Sometimes you could tell what it was about - it was interesting - and sometimes it was qu

needs two types of freedom: You need the freedom to - the freedom to come up with an idea or treatment - and then you need the other half of the freedom, and that's freedom from - somebody saying, 'This is great. This is how I want you to do it.' Steve Sabol I'm a perfectionist and, when it comes to people I want to work with, I have changed my mind, like, millions of times. Cassie Ventura However I am is however I am. When you see me onstage or in the press, there's not a lot of thought and calculation that goes into it. Sheryl Crow The sciences have ever been the surest guides to virtue. Frances Wright Not being boring is quite a challenge. Ian Mcewan Even when I'm not directing, that doesn't stop Owen from having ideas for what I should be doing. Ben Stiller I have to speak for myself. As far as videos go - casting, the artwork, everything - I'm completely hands-on. You have to be if you want your points across. Pink I'm such

about a loss. One can create the person that was lost, develop the character of the fiancee. There's another strategy that one can employ, maybe riskier... Make the reader suffer the loss of the character in a more literal way. Junot Diaz I want people to come away from my book with questions. Questions about virtue and goodness. Not answers. Veronica Roth The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone. Henrik Ibsen Developing our capacity for compassion makes it possible for us to help others in a more skillful and effective way. And compassion helps us as well. Joan Halifax I'll probably be punished for hard living. Tupac Shakur I was always intrigued by the idea of bringing things together that are considered taboo or risque and bringing them together with something of high elegance and sophistication. Dita Von Teese I don't really plan what comes out of my mouth, and that's what makes most of my lyrics entertaining. Kesha Creative pe

bad relationship between civilians and the armed services. We say to soldiers, 'We want you when we want you, but stay away in peacetime. We're proud of you, but keep away from my daughter and don't come drinking in my pub.' Ross Kemp I'd like to direct myself but I'm a cinephile and I also would like to just step behind the camera and be on the other end of making movies. Jackson Rathbone Adversity tests us from time to time and it is inevitable that this testing continues during life. Walter Annenberg I love vampire stories. That's why I did the movie. Women especially were taken with that movie-even more so when it came out on video. Catherine Deneuve I was a very sickly kid. While I was in the hospital at age 7, my Dad brought me a stack of comic books to keep me occupied. I was hooked. Len Wein False opinions are like false money, struck first of all by guilty men and thereafter circulated by honest people who perpetuate the crime without

a single crab in an uncovered bucket, and it will find a way to climb up and out on its own. Put a dozen crabs in a bucket, and 11 will fight with all their might to pull down the striver who attempts escape. Michelle Malkin We just wrote songs that seemed good to us. We wrote the album in like two weeks. We could have had more time, but we accomplished what we needed to in the two weeks. Travis Barker My parents are famously not part of the gestalt of the fashion industry. David Lauren A threatened nation can react to uncertain dangers solely through administrative channels, to the truly embarrassing situation of perhaps overreacting. Jurgen Habermas The entertainment is in the presentation. John McTiernan Well, it's difficult to fall in love with a character when you just read the pilot. You don't really know who the character is. Christina Ricci It feels amazing to work with writers that write really well. Giancarlo Esposito Film has played such a big pa

things happening. First, we will once again have a huge art fair in town that isn't too annoying to go to. More importantly, Frieze may finally show New Yorkers that we can cross our own waters for visual culture. That would change everything. Jerry Saltz I'm just a believer in keeping all of the creative brain cells moving and working even when you're not working because the inevitable loneliness and boring drought in the actor's world, it can eat you alive. Nikki Reed The great thing about fashion is that it always looks forward. Oscar de la Renta People came to the All-Star Game to see the dunk contest. Dominique Wilkins There is a history of footballers in my family; my granddad played for Notts County and my dad played at county level. Matt Smith The end of science is not to prove a theory, but to improve mankind. Manly Hall Um, I have an enormous faith in God. I have an enormous support system that also has that same belief. Katey Sagal You ge

been committed and at the end you know it will be solved. So you've got to make the story interesting besides it just being a plot. And that's why character matters, why you've got to make the characters interesting. Jo Nesbo I'm very romantic. Enrique Iglesias When I got into junior high school, that's when my mom let me dress how I wanted to dress. Up to that point I wore suits to school all the time. will.i.am Music is my release. Michelle Branch You have to invest in yourself and your surroundings. Swizz Beatz I am passionate about talking to women about their breast health. Elizabeth Hurley I try to work and enjoy life, and that's about all. Curtis Armstrong That fear first created the gods is perhaps as true as anything so brief could be on so great a subject. George Santayana My mom was onstage when she was pregnant with me. Zosia Mamet My greatest pleasure is to invent. My continual mad ambition is to make something true and be

so funny. I still feel as though I'm the girl from Golders Green. I lead such a boring, normal life. I still go shopping in Sainsbury's. If the ability to do that was taken away from me, I'd go barmy. You lose your freedom. Be careful what you wish for. Amanda Donohoe My own military background is wholly un-distinguished. I was a sergeant. W. E. B. Griffin Marilyn Manson is a criticism of gimmickry, while being itself a gimmick. Marilyn Manson My dad loved to laugh. He was very funny and very silly. Mike Myers When you're thirsty and it seems that you could drink the entire ocean, that's faith; when you start to drink and finish only a glass or two, that's science. Anton Chekhov Every social organisation which is rooted in life still lasts a long time, even after the conditions from which it drew its strength have changed in a manner unfavourable to it. Karl Radek I picked and co-wrote the songs that if I was a guy who would be spending my hard

yet - and you've been texting and driving - you think, 'Oh nothing's going to happen.' But all it takes is an accident happening with one of your friends or God forbid, something happening to you, to really give you a wake-up call. Victoria Justice Beauty is less important than quality. Eugene Ormandy I most want to be remembered for being as great a mother to James and Lennon as my mum was to me and my brother Jamie. Patsy Kensit There is physical evidence of the body's response to doing good. Endorphins are released in the brain when you do something for someone else. Doing good really feels good. Evelyn Lauder Love soothes wounds, while hatred and violence deepen them. Willie Stargell You want to evaluate future borrowers, but in order to train an algorithm that will help you identify future defaults, you have to train it and evaluate it on past data. Anthony Goldbloom I'm pretty klutzy and I've always been, so I have to own up to it. It

not an economist therefore I can't take decisions on matters of the economy; I'm not a soldier I can't take decisions on matters of defence; I'm not an educationist so I can't take decisions about education. Thabo Mbeki I feel most comfortable keeping versatile when it comes to music genres. Thia Megia Revenge is sweet and not fattening. Alfred Hitchcock You know, I understand that a lot of people, especially up north, put fruits and nuts in their stuffing, which is good, but for myself personally, I love an old-timey savory dressing. Paula Deen We have a harder way to succeed in life as Serbs because of the past that we had and because of the history we had. Novak Djokovic George Hamilton is one of the funniest men I have ever known. Britt Ekland The early years of my life were very, very traumatic. It was scary, because any child knew that death was sort of lurking around Europe as far as Jews were concerned. Felix Rohatyn When I was a child,

the late Nineties, predicting a future that never arrived. It was designed for a decade that would be just like the Nineties, except more so, in an America that enjoyed seeing itself as smarter and braver and freer than ever before. Rob Sheffield I'm not that kind of Bob Dylan, tortured creative. Ben Barnes My mum's always on at me to have children and blames 'that stupid stage thing you do' for me not already having a family. Paloma Faith Because the casual music listeners are the ones who turn on the radio and they don't really care what's playing, they just know that they kinda like it or it's easy to drive to or it's easy to sing along to or whatever. Michael Stipe I am not the kind of leader who pontificates about what should be done - I don't operate on scenarios, and I am not a prophet. Mangosuthu Buthelezi Some think the worst horrors of war might be avoided by an international agreement not to use atomic bombs. This is a vain

systems and encryption and other security technologies, but if an attacker can call one trusted person within the company, and that person complies, and if the attacker gets in, then all that money spent on technology is essentially wasted. Kevin Mitnick I think it's really important to use your hands and get close to materials. To be up close to real things like rain and mud; to have contact with nature. Robin Day My other Main Man is Muhamed Ali, for the obvious reasons. Randy Castillo A brave man is a man who dares to look the Devil in the face and tell him he is a Devil. James A. Garfield An intellectual is someone who avoids the mundane by lowering his handicap. Richard Reeves My eyes and spirit have opened up since I found someone that I get to share my life with. Heather Matarazzo 'Game of Thrones' is an amazing show, and I have no problem speaking of the virtues of HBO. Peter Dinklage When I went to high school, in the late 1970s, disco was in f

sounds. You will start hearing all these sounds coming in. Once you let them in, you've already done the first and most critical thing, you've honored that information by including it. And by doing that, you've actually changed the world. Robert Irwin Circumstantial evidence is evidence. Bernard Goldberg I think people ought to do what they feel useful at the time. If I do things because I ought to do them, I switch off. Matthew Macfadyen I'm at peace with myself because what I talk about is the way I live. Sean Hannity Rewriting to me means, if I work on it for three days, I've rewritten it. Jules Shear The British have always made terrible parents. Rachel Cusk Acting is the expression of a neurotic impulse. It's a bum's life. Quitting acting, that's the sign of maturity. Marlon Brando Indie film isn't dead, it just grew up. Kevin Smith You got good and bad people everywhere. Suge Knight Entrepreneurs cannot be happy peopl

book and you hear it's being made into a movie and it makes you a little annoyed at first? But I would've loved to play the Shia LaBeouf role in that movie when I was younger. I just wanted to be the rebellious kid on the old digging camp. Nat Wolff That is one of the things about going on tour, that I get to work with some really talented people and it allows me to be able to listen to them as well - and just have fun on stage. Joan Armatrading I think American Idol is a great career launcher. A blessing for all of us. LaToya London I would argue that nothing gives life more purpose than the realization that every moment of consciousness is a precious and fragile gift. Steven Pinker I'm not well read. Cate Blanchett I'm growing as an artist and expanding my range, and not pigeonholing myself by doing the same thing, over and over. Sarah Wayne Callies Is there discrimination against women? Yes. There's no denying that the old boys' network is a
