art, we had such a bad experience with the Third Reich, when stories and images were used to tell lies. After the war, literature was careful not to do the same, which is why writers began to reflect on the stories they told and to make readers part of their texts. I do the same. Michael Haneke If you think about the way the hearings were structured, the hearings were really about Thomas' race and my gender. Anita Hill My favorite Extreme records were the last two. I can't listen to the first one. Gary Cherone You are attached to what you attack. Robert Shea There is one Metallica. We have many styles, it's called Metallica. James Hetfield You can pretend to be serious; but you can't pretend to be witty. Sacha Guitry We are in favor of greater free markets. Ed Gillespie I'm going to focus on speed, doing little things like my turns and my starts - just speed. Ryan Lochte I knew no one who'd ever been in the public eye. J. K. Rowling We

are two sides to the coin. People are more impressed with things that I do because they almost treat you as if you're handicapped if you're a woman... people can be impressed that I can play a few chords on the guitar. Kesha My music was never considered cool, but I've always felt that connection with the audience. David Cassidy I don't like the rules about you can't hit the quarterback. Jim McMahon Now here I am almost 52 years old, it's really easy. I'm way more at peace. But when you're a competitor, and you're as intent on becoming the best in the world as I was, it comes with consequences. Kirk Gibson The traditional role of the Senate has been to be the adult in the room. Kay Bailey Hutchison Most Americans don't care about gay marriage. Dan Savage Always first draw fresh breath after outbursts of vanity and complacency. Franz Kafka Of all possessions a friend is the most precious. Herodotus I believe in the American

I do think that it's not smart to bet against the power of science to figure out the natural world. It used to be, a thousand years ago, that if you wanted to explain why the moon moved through the sky, you needed to invoke God. Sean M. Carroll Novelists are stamina merchants, grinders, nine-to-fivers, and their career curves follow the usual arc of human endeavour. Martin Amis For example, in painting the form arises from abstract elements of line and color, while in cinema the material concreteness of the image within the frame presents - as an element - the greatest difficulty in manipulation. Sergei Eisenstein When I have really blonde hair, I usually go for a more natural look, wearing way less makeup. Olivia Wilde I have no problem with women in the military, if that's what they want to do. Lorraine Bracco I want you to remember when our White House reflected the best of who we are, not the worst of what Europe has become. Mitt Romney Women like me becau

it and figure out how it can coincide with the rest of their lives in a healthy manner. And try to navigate it in our modern society, which is wrought with stigma and taboo and repression, and sort of as a result, these inner monsters that some teenagers really struggle with. Ezra Miller The whole bullying issue has really struck a nerve with me. It affects so many different types of people at a vital time in their lives. Kenny Wormald With small breasts, you don't have to wear a bra with dresses that have some support. It feels sexy without one. Sandra Oh There is some reason, obviously, that you are drawn to your material, but the way in which you explore it might come to be quite different from what you would expect. Ann Beattie She died praying that she might die. Mary Boykin Chesnut The art of acting is to be other than what you are. Whoopi Goldberg To work hard, to live hard, to die hard, and then go to hell after all would be too damn hard. Carl Sandburg

his silhouette was crucial, so his nose and lips were crucial as well. We had to build it out a bit to get the silhouette. But, with my nose being so small within the proportion of my face, the first nose was too big. I felt like a nose on parade. Toby Jones I feel less alone when I read the books of Ratzinger. Oriana Fallaci I never was obsessive about anything I watched when I was a kid, except maybe 'The A-Team' and 'Airwolf'... And I loved 'Knight Rider' and then later 'Baywatch.' Benedict Cumberbatch I'm like a shark. I've got to be constantly moving. Kenny Chesney For behaviorist films, that's been much more useful - the change of technology - but for my kind of films, doing them on film is much better, because it's more beautiful. Michael Apted Even when I was in my 20s and at my most beautiful, I was never obsessed with my looks. I didn't dye my hair or wear make-up. Koo Stark A lot of times when you keep it

see what's happening, go clickety-clack on the web to see what I missed overnight. Then I go to the gym, around 5:15, and I do what appears to be a very light workout, but who cares. I'm socializing with other nice people at the gym. Then I go into work, and I'm really awake. Hoda Kotb But we wanted to work in a way we never had, which was write everything together. We had to face each other in the same creative room, which gets tougher as you get older, because you don't want to be confrontational. Bruce McCulloch I would love to get back to the big leagues as a coach, possibly a manager. I would love that opportunity. Gary Carter But my estimates, for instance, based upon book information, were simply ridiculous, fanciful images of African attractions were soon dissipated, anticipated pleasures vanished, and all crude ideas began to resolve themselves into shape. Henry Morton Stanley Nobody from my label called any of their labels to get this done. Most of

efficient, effective government, but his budget calls for more taxes and more spending. It employs deceptive accounting gimmicks but does nothing to tackle long-term entitlement problems, nothing to save Medicare or fix Social Security. Reince Priebus No rival will steal away my sure love; that glory will be my gray hair. Sextus Propertius We used to play baseball back in that field and keep an eye out for the bulls. Jim Fowler You can tell by the kindness of a dog how a human should be. Captain Beefheart I don't think there will ever be a permanent truce, but I believe the media needs to be more careful and be willing to count to 10 before rushing on the air or into print. Bob Woodward Clock measurement is not time itself. In fact, so opposed are they that one could argue the clock is not a synonym, but the opposite of time. Jay Griffiths If my own current husband was suddenly a stay-at-home dad, it would be emasculating. That would be hard for me. Hanna Rosin

the planet. The Internet is the poster child for disruptive technology, but even such inventions as Amazon's Kindle and Apple's iPod have rocked their respective industries by changing how we entertain ourselves. Lynda Resnick I resent that there is an image of perfection that is getting thinner and thinner. I've got a lovely husband and children, and I didn't lose weight to find those things. Kate Winslet I was worried people would laugh at me when I started to talk the language, but they were just pleasantly surprised that I could. The sense of humour here is great - once I could have a giggle, I settled down. Parminder Nagra The best you can sometimes do is learn to take a breath, count to ten and simply accept that try as you might, no, your husband will never, ever learn not to drop a wet towel on the bed. That acceptance too counts as resolving a fight. Jeffrey Kluger A good comic explores the imagination, but it's always got to have those notes of

sure unhappiness. But we have to find the balance. My own thoughts are that parenting is very personal. And we all feel enormous insecurity about parenting. What are they going to think of us 20 years down the line? Amy Chua My father's mother was from Liverpool and she had this very beautiful English china. I only wanted to drink my cocoa out of my grandmother's cup and saucer. Patti Smith There has been a rather unpleasant sensibility apparent in Frank Miller's work for quite a long time. Alan Moore Bad taste is not illegal. I always got my first laughs as a kid by saying inappropriate things. That's always how we're going to get our laughs as comics. Jeff Ross I really respond to human scripts, scripts that are raw and real and risky. I love playing scary characters - not horror film scary, but vulnerable scary. Shailene Woodley If you hug to yourself any resentment against anybody else, you destroy the bridge by which God would come to you. Peter

put the blockade of putting your thoughts in this unnatural medium of print and then trying to reach through that and actually convey what's going on, what you think, and make people laugh and recognize themselves while doing it. Definitely the laughing thing. Sloane Crosley There have been many times when you spend a number of months and the finished product is not what you wanted to see. And 'Batman Begins' was what I wanted to see. Christian Bale Social security, bank account, and credit card numbers aren't just data. In the wrong hands they can wipe out someone's life savings, wreck their credit and cause financial ruin. Melissa Bean God should not be called an individual substance, since the principal of individuation is matter. Thomas Aquinas My heart is in television, just because it's been so good to me. Charisma Carpenter Britain's an island; it's always had a constant ebb and flow of immigration - it makes it a better place. Joh

pretty clear, because if you don't conventionally look a certain way and you've got a certain kind of presence when you're young, then what's available to you is character roles, and the best character roles when you're young tend to be villains. Willem Dafoe It's almost like, it's often the bad recording quality of things which makes them interesting. Danielle Dax Figure skating is a bit dated - it's like that tweed jacket you pull out of the back of your closet from time to time, and I'm going to try to Chanel it up a little bit. Johnny Weir It's hard to do fiction and nonfiction simultaneously. Erica Jong To be a champion you must act like one, act like a champion. Lou Ferrigno Denmark is like a secret little place with its own special language. Helena Christensen Some of those stories in local newspapers are just as dull and boring as the stories that I get from on-line services, which are basically sort of straight news. T

kids are, first of all, you have to accept each other's differences. Some of you are going to be a crappy football player, some of you are going to be a great mathematician. Whatever it is, accept each other's differences and help prop each other up. Vince Flynn I think the main thing we can do, whether you agree or not, I don't think that's the real issue, the real issue is this November and there's an election. Vicky Hartzler It is well within the order of things that man should listen when his mate sings; but the true male never yet walked who liked to listen when his mate talked. Anna Wickham Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times. Aeschylus There's a fast-track if you can do the networking. For some personalities it works, but for mine it doesn't. Idris Elba No, I'm not a Republican working in Hollywood, I am a Democrat. Sarah Paulson All movies aren't fun; some are hard work. You try to do something and convey a s

to ascribe a level of providence to his every decision but he was a cunning and calculating politician; from the cultivation of his image as a hayseed from Illinois, to his ability to keep this country together under dire circumstances. Henry Louis Gates I can see how, given a certain degree of sensitivities, proclivities and rage, I could have ended up differently. John Malkovich Smell is stimulating. It stirs things up and makes us nostalgic - a wonderful word which literally means 'ache for home' - which serves to inspire new circuits in the brain. Lyall Watson I love a man in a suit. Men should stay clothed, even if they have nice bodies. Leah Remini Being a songwriter does not rely on an audience or other band members or a camera. I can just sit in a room and write songs. Rick Springfield My father's people... are from Fairfax in northern Virginia, just across the Mason-Dixon line. So it was an honour to play Lee, he was a great general. Robert Duvall

government is a bunch of evil bastards. So just because you're black, you're still representing that government, and when Obama came into office he enacted the same policies that we would critique other presidents for. Lupe Fiasco What we set out to do was to ensure that this system of fair shares and the planning and controls continued after the war, and when we won, that's what we did. Barbara Castle For instance, Clinton who was unquestionably the smartest of the bunch I talked to - both the ones who made it and didn't. He had a great interest in policy. Robert Scheer I think it is in collaboration that the nature of art is revealed. Steve Lacy One of my favorite people is Gypsy Rose Lee. She bears out the Biblical promise that he who has, gets. And I hope she gets a lot more. Hedy Lamarr I don't think I have ever worked in my life, because work to me means that you are really doing something that you don't like. John Kluge I'm a bit of

younger, before I even knew or thought I was gay. I didn't really make the connection that they were gay, but I felt drawn to them because they were going against the grain, and I knew there was something that they had that everybody else didn't have. It was an edge. Brandi Carlile I try to be upbeat. I read this book which tells you to write down everything that you're grateful for each day. Now I'm constantly noticing all the little things that make me joyful. Naomie Harris I just adored working with Woody. He was more than I could have ever dreamed of. I'd do it a million times over. Scarlett Johansson I come from an immigrant culture. I'm only a couple of generations away from having been a servant girl myself. Caitlin Flanagan People complain that cities don't have fresh, sustainable food, but it's just not true. Dan Barber I always say I wanna work with Alicia Keys. I'm in awe of her. Bruno Mars No art is less spontaneous than

60, 70 years old that are on their second or third generation of artists, the humor is pretty bland. There are others by people that were raised on 'Family Guy' or 'South Park' that are edgier. Mine's not as edgy as those, but it's edgier than 'Beetle Bailey.' Stephan Pastis I always feel like I want to write a song when I'm really upset. And when I'm in an argument with my family, I go straight to the piano and just kind of take it out on the piano and get all emotional. Pixie Lott I do not write often now - not for want of something to say, but from a loathing of all I see and hear. Why dwell upon it? Mary Boykin Chesnut I am waiting impatiently for the day when beleaguered, like-minded academics can order James Wolcott's collected essays for their classes. Camille Paglia Whenever I wasn't working, I had my butt back in normal school. Tahj Mowry Being in jail, it's humbled me in a way I never imagined. Foxy Brown I

Night Live' and has gone on to do some of the landmark comedies people like. And then to add this whole other phase to his career with 'Lost in Translation' and 'Rushmore.' I always felt to be able to have something similar to that would be great. Will Ferrell There are a lot of dedicated people out there that don't get the recognition that we get, but they're as important as the people that are sitting in the vehicle. Mark Kelly Virtually all of Darfur's six million residents are Muslim, and, because of decades of intermarriage, almost everyone has dark skin and African features. Samantha Power I have criticisms of Ronald Reagan, but he lives in another universe from the kind of political theater that is represented by people, like Sarah Palin, who aren't really public servants. Eugene Jarecki A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others. Frank Morgan Compared to a lot of actresses my age, I'

and there's 85% women. I think R&B music is sort of designed for a man singing to a woman. I don't sing it like the sexy thing, but sort of pseudo-sexy. We rally the women together because it's about being independent and things like that. Jamie Foxx I will continue to stay very focused on the economy. Donald Evans The media is looking every season for a designer to tell a story. I have a long story I have to tell, continuing fluently year after year. Helmut Lang I didn't want to go to college or work in an office or have a nine-to-five job. I knew that quite clearly before I left school. Aidan Gillen Stars that shine bling in the moon night, might I find true love sqirreled away tonight? Isabel Yosito It is the grace of God, that shows and condemns the sin that humbles us. Adam Clarke Anybody who writes doesn't like to be misunderstood. Norman MacCaig Dictators aren't stupid, or regimes could be toppled easily by young people mobilizing

like me on George W. Bush. Republicans still don't like me on many things. If any Republican thinks I've been hard on Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich or any of these guys, wait until Mitt Romney gets into office. I'll hold his feet to the fire just as much. Glenn Beck I love the early process of asking questions about a story and deciding which questions matter most. Diane Sawyer No day would be complete without chocolate. My favorite: Vosges Creole bar - it's dark chocolate with cocoa nibs. Holy Toledo, that thing is good. Lisa Edelstein I canceled a show once to be with someone that I loved. Ricky Martin I thought Obama ran the best campaign I have ever known - disciplined, well organised, very, very good. I was very impressed. Nancy Reagan The Democrats have no actual policy proposals of their own unless constant carping counts as a policy. Ann Coulter I could never do stand-up because it's that thing of having to get up on stage. And out of every

Superman was a deeply personal icon, one that said you can do anything if you put your mind to it. What he stood for formed the core of who I wanted to be as I grew up, and informed how I view the world and my responsibilities to other people. J. Michael Straczynski I think that might have been an element in it, and people have asked me that very thing. Remember, Disney is the majority shareholder, but it is not an operating division of Disney. Gregg Easterbrook I don't bring anything expensive to the dorms. Lil' Romeo Respected, I almost want to be revered, that's what I'm chasing. Shia LaBeouf But I suppose film is distinctive because of its nature, of its being able to cut through time with editing. Oliver Stone Being from Australia, I've never even touched a gun. It's so not a part of our culture. Emily Browning Advice to persons about to marry - don't. Henry Mayhew Everything I've done I've done with enthusiasm and passion.

now and I have three women on my staff and three guys so it's pretty equal. I don't know why that is. It's been the same thing for a while. It's hard for female comedians to stand out. That's weird. That's a shame. Ellen DeGeneres I've never recorded anything I didn't like. Aretha Franklin I'm not that smooth. Shia LaBeouf My theory of change is that there are already millions of people working day in and day out on the ground to deliver on promises on global change. We need to strengthen those institutions and help those people in the field. Chris Hughes I am what I am. I love me! And I don't mean that egotistically - I love that God has allowed me to take whatever it was that I had and to make something out of it. Stevie Wonder One of the things you learn when you get married is how you need to always work on continuing to make it better. Eric Shanteau If you do weave one-liners into a story, you have to have an overall story

and the song echoes down through rock n' roll history. Bob Dylan cut a tribute by the same name, an English band decided to call themselves the Rolling Stones, and the magazine that first embraced music as a serious cultural phenomenon was itself called 'Rolling Stone.' Tim Cahill It's so easy for anyone to deal with their own guilt of being a middle-class white music fan by pointing to other people who they perceive to be richer than them, whiter than them. Ezra Koenig I really enjoy playing the piano. I took lessons throughout middle school, but I had to drop the lessons. I actually got too busy, but I hope to pick up the lessons when I'm in college if I can. Miranda Leek I feel grateful that the person I end up working with a lot is Paul Rudd. He's a prince among men, and so talented, and generous, and effortless. Kathryn Hahn I'm a longboard guy. Jeff Bridges The thing about stand-up was, I was doing all this sketch and YouTube stuff where

as malleable clay to be kneaded and molded in whatever form justices want. It represents an expansive view of the judiciary in which courts create policy that couldn't pass the legislative branch or, if it did, would generate voter backlash. Karl Rove My idea of a vacation is staying home and doing short day hikes, floating the river and things like that. Tim Cahill I'm not an ascetic. David Mamet I like to drive with my knees. Otherwise, how can I put on my lipstick and talk on the phone? Sharon Stone A noble purpose inspires sacrifice, stimulates innovation and encourages perseverance. Gary Hamel What I'm dealing with is sound. I don't pretend to be dealing with music. I'm just dealing with sound elements, textures and sounds. Bill Laswell God already knows the naked truth about us, of course. Why not acknowledge it? Philip Yancey I feel like I haven't done my best work yet. Liza Minnelli Then I loved the fact that we were actually reco

Palestinian problem. But when it comes to terror - when it comes to terror, I believe that military - the right military steps is a very, very complicated kind of warfare, where I make every effort not to escalate the situation. Ariel Sharon For where God built a church, there the Devil would also build a chapel. Martin Luther I was not surprised by the results of the Horizon experiments, but I remain willing to observe and consider any and all other tests that are done under similarly precise conditions. James Randi They are no longer going to serve you well. You have to commit. I think the biggest word is commit. I hear women say to me all the time, and men - I want to, I want to. Suzanne Somers We've heard this before; 'things are bad, we are gonna fix them,' and they remain unfixed. Fred Upton I will be the first to admit I am not perfect and I make mistakes. Alberto Gonzales Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace. Dalai

I'm tough as nails and I don't have any feelings about anything. They really think that I'm this super tough person. I have a tough exterior, but I get upset. I have feelings and all those things. I wear my heart on my sleeve. NeNe Leakes That's where my job comes in. Getting the E.U. and U.S. to agree. John Bruton You may call me a Klansman if you will, but, potentially, every white man is a Klansman, as far as the Negro in competition with whites socially, economically and politically is concerned, and there is no use lying. Marcus Garvey My masters are strange folk with very little care for music in them. Johann Sebastian Bach I don't worry about what my opponent is doing. Maria Sharapova I've become this sort of icon for the gay community. I don't like the position. Sandra Bernhard If you can play well in the studio, you can play well on stage. Ritchie Blackmore I ran spotlight. Swept up. Did box office. Ran the lighting board. But a

you're talking about a fight scene or a stunt sequence or even a love scene, for that matter, is by necessity it has to be choreographed very much like a dance. That being said, you have to rehearse it over and over again and find a mathematical precision. Benjamin Bratt Well, there are conjoined twins in real life and we can tell a story about them so long as they're not the brunt of the jokes. In this, they're the heroes of this story; we love these guys. Bobby Farrelly If somebody tells me I'm famous I say, 'I'm not.' I can't see myself as famous and I don't think I'll ever call myself famous. I definitely don't feel famous. Shayne Ward I went through a lot of my life not being mindful of how I was living it. I wasn't mindful environmentally, or whether I was on track. Roz Savage There is nothing that I'd love to do more than negotiate with Palestinians. This is my desire. This is my dream. This is my mission. Ehud Olm

just think that's all there is. Some of us had to grow up in poverty-stricken urban neighborhoods, and we just had to adapt to our environment. I know that it's wrong. But people act like it's some crazy thing they never heard of. They don't know. Michael Vick I pretty much live about 10 minutes from my office. I have two kids, and I have about 8 projects that I'm working on, so I basically just get up and go to work, and go home every night and play with my kids, so I don't really know. Bob Odenkirk Literature and philosophy both allow past idols to be resurrected with a frequency which would be truly distressing to a sober scientist. Morris Raphael Cohen I am a big fan of smelly cheeses but the rest of the family don't seem to be particularly keen on them. Johnny Vegas My stories are very somber, so I think I need the comic ingredient. Besides, life has so much humor. Manuel Puig As this world was not intended to be a state of any great sati

something, you're going to work at that thing. In other ways, you constantly have to change people's opinion of you as one thing, especially if you want to play different roles. You have to shatter that image sometimes. Aaron Tveit I've always thought that less was a lot more. Kim Cattrall There's an easygoing nature that comes with a perspective of things that aren't as important as we make them sometimes. Marguerite Moreau The person that's always talkin', you don't have to worry about that person. The person that while you're in his face, he's just lookin' at you with a smile on his face, that's the guy you worry about. Michael Clarke Duncan Always go with your passions. Never ask yourself if it's realistic or not. Deepak Chopra I don't like being in debt, and I wouldn't borrow money for anything. Cameron Mackintosh I really admire a woman for her intelligence, her personality. Beauty is not enough. Rober

moments where you elevate the spirit, but 'design for good' is figuring out a program that not only creates better spaces, but creates jobs, creates new industry and really kind of raises the conversation about how we rebuild. Cameron Sinclair Some people are at the top of the ladder, some are in the middle, still more are at the bottom, and a whole lot more don't even know there is a ladder. Robert H. Schuller Libraries have had a long history of dealing with authoritarian organizations demanding reader records - who's read what - and this has led to people being rounded up and killed. Brewster Kahle I had girlfriends, but settling down was the last thing on my mind. Hugh Bonneville I believe so much in these products, and it's really satisfying when you believe in something. Connie Sellecca I was a complete, total nerd... I loved the idea that the underdog wins more often than not. And I don't know if that happens in life. But I want it to. Eli

do films that inspire me, and to work with people who make me better. I wanted to just surround myself with people who I think are better than I am, whether they're actors or directors or producers, so that I could learn from them. Mila Kunis It gives a fellow an awful shiver to hear the first shovelful of dirt and gravel rattle down upon the coffin; but after it is covered, it falls gently and makes no sound. The feeling of rest is perfect. There's no more nagging, no more pain! William Morris Hunt As we say in the American Institute of Wine and Food, small helpings, no seconds. A little bit of everything. No snacking. And have a good time. Julia Child Let's just say I'm a physical guy. Jon Bernthal The draft is a crapshoot, so I've been very fortunate to be drafted by the Yankees, and to have spent my whole career here. Derek Jeter I still play that guitar. It's a Martin D-18 with a clear pick guard. I've played that guitar on and off my TV

of Notre Dame. I shall long remember my first impression of the scene within. The lofty gothic ceiling arched far above my head and through the stained windows the light came but dimly - it was all still, solemn and religious. Bayard Taylor I'm an expert on surfing the channels, so I'm always able to find something strange. Or I watch C-Span. I can watch a conference on oceanography, or whatever, for hours. Rafael Vinoly Ordinary readers, forgive my paradoxes: one must make them when one reflects; and whatever you may say, I prefer being a man with paradoxes than a man with prejudices. Jean-Jacques Rousseau Real freedom is creative, proactive, and will take me into new territories. I am not free if my freedom is predicated on reacting to my past. Kenny Loggins To race Formula three is very high risk and I am not going to take a chance. Thank god I am not doing it! Emerson Fittipaldi In a man, I like funny guys. A guy who doesn't have a lot of therapy, who'

a good result, and I can enjoy it as a movie, you know? I don't feel like, 'Oh man, that was really good. I should have done it.' You have to make the decisions you have to make, whether it has to do with your family or repeating a character or whatever it is. John C. Reilly My mother always wanted to give back. Lady Gaga When it becomes a revolutionary act to eat real food, we are in trouble. Mark Hyman It didn't happen every time for every movie. Ruthless People was a good movie, but we didn't get a good release or marketing. They completely blew the opening. David Zucker A promise made should be a promise kept. Steve Forbes I'm not hip, I'm not cool, I'm not glib. Eric Bogosian All I ever wanted to do was be able to pay my rent. Bethenny Frankel At a certain point, if you work really hard and you get good and people like your work, you do deserve the fame - but you shouldn't take it for granted. Jon Lovitz I'm terribly

cabinet positions, and I believe that experience is what mattered most to him. In my case, I have been working to improve the overall quality of life for working families for most of my adult life, and I think that experience resonated with the president. Hilda Solis People ask me what my hobbies are in interviews, and I always say biking. But all I bike for is to get to rehearsal more quickly. Jesse Eisenberg I'm scared of karaoke. I think if I did have a go to karaoke song, it would be 'Whatta Man' by Salt-n-Pepa. Yvonne Strahovski I do date quite frequently. Isaiah Mustafa I'm getting back to my old roots. Tiger Woods His huff arrived and he departed in it. Alexander Woollcott In countries where innocent people are dying, the leaders are following their blood rather than their brains. Nelson Mandela I was in a play with Julia Roberts and Paul Newman and Tony Randall. Christine Lavin I feel like my life is pretty special. Tiger Woods If you

circling it and getting closer. I had no idea how to write fiction. So I did journalism because there were rules I could learn. You can teach someone to write a news story. They might not write a great one, but you can teach that pretty easily. Amy Hempel The big thing for actors is the level of commitment. Shia LaBeouf The North Koreans or Chinese may have a million men in uniform but it's about how you perform. Philip Hammond Martin Luther King was a leader for all Americans on our own professed values. Taylor Branch And the separatist terrorist organization, PKK, had easy access to Turkey to, inside Turkey. Bulent Ecevit Even God lends a hand to honest boldness. Menander Fame can be annoying, but there are perks too. Danica Patrick I worked my way through art school as an auto mechanic, doing various stuff including sanding bodywork and using Bondo filler. Fred Tomaselli Directors never give you anything. Claudia Christian I was raised by my grandmothe

from the Western Approaches to the Aegean. And while we must never take this for granted, the first purpose of the European Union - to secure peace - has been achieved and we should pay tribute to all those in the EU, alongside Nato, who made that happen. David Cameron For the most part, I think that people enjoy seeing a movie where they can just have fun in. Agnes Bruckner It's come to the point where you have people saying it's our Christian duty to embrace the homosexual movement. This is absurd. Randall Terry I laughed, even if I was the butt of the joke. Pete Waterman I'd want to have Gisele Bundchen's body. Even though she's tall and skinny, she does have curves... and I think that's hot. Halle Berry also is kind of amazing. Jennifer Love Hewitt What I said about John was that he liberated me from my anxieties about writing in a correct, acceptable way. Harry Mathews Technology makes everyone feel old. A laptop is old after two years. So

barbecue's interesting, because it's one of these cult foods like chili, or bouillabaisse. Various parts of the world will have a cult food that people get enormously attached to - there's tremendous traditions; there's secrecy. Nathan Myhrvold We need to change America's image round the world. America has lost some lustre in terms of how folks aspire to be like us. Samuel L. Jackson Relationships, if you want them to work, take work. The biggest thing that I learned growing up, and even now, is if it's right, it's worth it. It's just a matter of finding that person you want to be with. Josh Duhamel I have a weird vision of relationships because my parents have known each other since second grade, and they got married right out of college. Dakota Fanning The fact is there is forgiveness for those who seek God. And I believe in the power of redemption. Rick Perry Well, Detroit Institute is kind of a key - probably the largest permanent coll

when the airwaves were full of rock and roll's doo-wop promise of joy and the nation was full of J.F.K.'s eloquent promise of a New Frontier? I did. Life seemed to be laid out before us like a banquet; everything was for the taking, especially hearts. John Lahr I am finally getting the chance to build large structures and break preconceptions that my designs are just sculptures for people to be in. But my work always comes down to the human scale. Thomas Heatherwick When I step in the ring, I bring everything I have. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. It's mostly Mars Bars and peanuts and cheese and you go to the fridge and there's Red Bull and Beer. It's not like people are holding me down and pouring beer in my face. Graham Coxon Astronomy's much more fun when you're not an astronomer. Brian May The mid-life crisis is just those times when you're not so into the things you were when you were younger. Jay Kay The difference between playing the stoc

inspires you, but in the final analysis I don't think you really do. It's great to look at a blank sheet of paper, you know, and walk up to an instrument and not know what's gonna happen. It's the most challenging thing I do. Bob Seger What I'm saying is that, unlike a lot of portrayals of me, I'm not hiding behind the sunglasses. I'm out there working. I'm not trying to sell anybody anything, but I do realize we're entertainers. David Duval Traditional news is often full of mistakes, but I think that people are getting more sophisticated in knowing what to trust and what not to trust. Evan Williams I'm the type of person who tries to save the world. Timbaland Once the kids are in school, it's amazing what you can do. Laura Schlessinger I kind of consider myself a chameleon in music. I love all sorts of music. Nick Carter Lesson number one: Pay attention to the intrusion of the camera. Eve Arnold I'm too shy to do kis

first instance. Whenever I say that, it makes people really angry. But this is a very political profession in the Grecian sense. I believe there have to be reasons for every building, and that the ideas should not be self-referential. James Polshek All the time our union was progressing very nicely. There were lectures to make us understand what trades unionism is and our real position in the labor movement. Rose Schneiderman The whole point of all of this - why we are here, why the world is here, and why we have the political system and leaders that we do - is to achieve change. This is the purpose of life. Yehuda Berg Most of the time, the things that really change the world exist for something fundamentally selfish and then the world-changing ends up being a side-effect of that. Andrew Mason It had always been a British preoccupation to hold this mile record. Roger Bannister My name is George Smoot III, and I am smarter than a fifth-grader. George Smoot I don't

know I have to eat better the next day and work out. I work out, I do circuit training so I try to keep my heart rate up whether I'm doing cardio, lifting weights or jumping rope. I like to mix it up. I also take Zumba classes - I love those, those are a blast. Jordin Sparks I really love animals and enjoy working with them. Emma Watson This idea that clumsy, stumbling people are real bright is ridiculous, because intelligence is related to neurologic function, and really intelligent people are very well-coordinated. Robert Jarvik No matter the bad things that happened in past time, let's try to live the best we can now. Ziggy Marley When you live by the sea, there are definite seasons when you can see the weather coming and going, which lends itself to photography. Graeme Le Saux I think people tend to apply where they think the greatest opportunities lie. Bennie Thompson In a complex and troubling world, who wouldn't want to simplify? Everybody does. Eve

the hell that the Saints fans are giving the opposing offenses and it's pretty tough. It's a huge challenge to manage the defense with that noise, but I'd rather them be loud and pumped up and going than quiet, because if they're quiet it means we're getting beat. Jonathan Vilma One of my greatest times of inspiration is when I'm traveling or living in a new country - there's a tremendous freedom that comes from being unfettered by your own, familiar culture, and by seeing the world from a different point of view. Kim Edwards Today's recording techniques would have been regarded as science fiction forty years ago. Tony Visconti I've grown up a lot, I'm on my own, and I've learned some valuable life lessons. Zac Efron I don't like to think about being an influence. It's embarrassing. Bruce Nauman Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Lord Acton European investment in

times, trust me, I did not go into ballroom dancing with my body being 100 percent, with no aches or pains or ailments coming with me. When you're dancing, you're doing stuff that your body's not used to, and so you start to aggravate those old injuries. Emmitt Smith We've just learned how to balance ourselves a little better so that we're happier way more of the time than not, and, you know, being happy is a radical and desirable act if you ask me. Anthony Kiedis When I'm at my grandparents', I know I literally have to do nothing but relax, enjoy myself, and enjoy my family members' company. Tyson Chandler I have to stay humble. I'm just a normal human with a job that is televised. Jai Rodriguez I am unusually Halloween-attentive, because, as it happens, I was born on Halloween, so for me it has always been an occasion of great moment. Susan Orlean The loss of a child is the most terrifying place for me to go. Nicole Kidman I think

was the one lugging textbooks and binders back and forth from school. The hour my children are seated at the kitchen table, their books spread out before them, the crumbs of their after-school snack littering the table, is without a doubt the worst hour of my day. Ayelet Waldman I think our show is very different from Orange County. Josh Schwartz I wake up most days with a vague feeling of doom - 'Dear God. Here I am again.' Then, when I read about politicians in the newspaper, the vengefulness starts. By mid-morning, the anxiety is kicking in. Bruce Robinson My dad was quiet, angry, shut down. So my thing is: I express everything that's there. I want to get it all out. Glen Hansard If this gesture was the way of getting out of the penitentiary, I'd do it. Lee J. Cobb 'The Voice' is built on positivity. Once we started filming, I knew that America was really going to love it. Adam Levine In the East there is a gap between the top of a wall and

Dom right now. So it's a really strange exercise to try to reflect on something that I am at the moment. But I guarantee you that when I'm done with the movie and you ask me that question, I'll be able to give you something insightful. Vin Diesel Actors today go into TV, which I don't consider has a lot to do with acting. Lauren Bacall I try to be a guide for people, to make their darkness bright and to make the pathway light, and never to condemn or control or criticize. Little Richard One of my favourite films is called 'Lacombe Lucien,' directed by Louis Malle. The lead character in that film, like the lead characters in many '70s and '80s films, has a moral ambiguity to him. Joe Cornish We have to make machines understand what they're doing, or they won't be able to come back and say, 'Why did you do that?' Nicholas Negroponte Being an ex-child star is not a given. Danny Bonaduce I just get all jacked up when we star

too much, we've tried not to impose discipline. We've tried to make their lives easier and, in doing so, we've taken something away from them. Kids like boundaries, they also like to be pushed, need to learn what failure is all about, need guidance. Daley Thompson Playing Willie Loomis was really fun for me because it was something nice and different to embody. It was neat playing this drunken servant who was hypnotized by Johnny Depp. Jackie Earle Haley The fully developed bureaucratic apparatus compares with other organisations exactly as does the machine with the non-mechanical modes of production. Max Weber Any Democratic statement of core beliefs about the importance of families must include all our families, gay and straight. Our party has a long tradition of leading the charge on important questions of justice. Jeanne Shaheen An empire founded by war has to maintain itself by war. Charles de Montesquieu Controversies are a package deal in this industry

he, with very high ideas of a husband's authority and a wife's submission, holding strongly to the 'master-in-my-own-house theory,' thinking much of the details of home arrangements, precise, methodical, easily angered and with difficulty appeased. Annie Besant When a marriage works, nothing on earth can take its place. Helen Gahagan My whole life, people have been saying, Why are you so angry? Fiona Apple I have a pretty good record of winning in court. Jan Brewer I was born and raised in Manhattan; I didn't realize that I, in all my androgyny, was a freak to the rest of this country. iO Tillett Wright I love having a lot of content. I prefer to have constant stimulation. Zooey Deschanel When a show has gotten as much attention as this one, everyone wants to join in with something to say. Edie Falco Only God who made us can touch us and change us and save us from ourselves. Billy Graham I don't mean to be bashful, but I was. Willie Mays

have a melody in my head and I pick up the guitar to develop the song. Other times I just write without any melodies, and I end up using those lyrics when I think I have the appropriate instrumental that would bring out and depict the emotions of what I have written. Nneka Everything the Beats stood for was the opposite of the dominant culture today. Lawrence Ferlinghetti Jay Townsend has offered, and I have accepted, his resignation from his position with my campaign. Now let's return to talking about issues that really matter to families: job creation, spending restraint and economic development. Nan Hayworth I like to write about things about which I have no answers, questions that trouble me. These things trouble me. Paul Haggis That's what I'd like to think that my reputation is - being honest. Joe Torre I want my work to be judged, not me. Steve Coogan I grew up where my parents would literally shove me in the car rather than have to say hello to a n

say that I had a weird childhood; they might say there weren't a lot of regular rules, the conversations in the house were always very open, dreams were a great thing to talk about, everybody was making something all the time. Jennifer Lynch The nature of comedy is 'just do it.' But I think what's interesting about it is this joke has been around and why. And it's just saying what's wrong and how wrong can you be if you say it. Bob Saget I then moved to LA when I was 16... but before that I had done a play on Broadway. Danny Masterson The writer's room is a really interesting place to be. Jason Gann The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath. W. C. Fields Integration will not bring a man back from the grave. Malcolm X The name and pretense of virtue is as serviceable to self-interest as are real vices. Francois de La Rochefoucauld I don't think your ability to fight has anything to do with how big you a

have naturally curly, blonde hair, so I'll never look like that. By the time I got to 'The Avengers,' I had come off two other films, which required me to have it very short. So I dyed it again and it was long enough to use a part of my hairline. Tom Hiddleston You know, painting has given me a lot of freedom, because for some reason, I've been able to paint things, organize things in a way that I see that don't have any buffers or compromises in them. Julian Schnabel The CAFTA region currently imports $15 billion annually of U.S. agriculture and manufactured goods. Ron Lewis During the week I have workout every day from 9 to noon, then I get to rest, then back to the gym from 4:30 P.M. to 8:30 P.M. Alicia Sacramone I had older brothers, and I don't think there's anything worse than an older brother. They pretty much told me the end of everything they got to see before I did. Joss Whedon The difficult thing for me is going to a event and havin

all the time, because life's too short and we've got more interesting things to do. But to rediscover the intense pleasure of making a cake and putting it down on the table is ridiculously satisfying, out of all proportion to the work. Jane Asher The sidekick business has been good to me. Sean Astin There are lots of other things that I haven't done, places I haven't seen. So eventually I'll have to find time for those things while there still is time. Brian Lumley To tackle the big and relevant issues of the day with bold and innovative ideas is without question the most rewarding way to serve. Marco Rubio Because when you feel that you have arrived, you are dead. Yul Brynner Hearing the word is the devout receiving of the will of God. William Ames I started doing improv my sophomore year. Rachel Dratch I had wanted to be a regular character on a series for a while. 'The Brady Bunch' was an answer to a prayer. Susan Olsen I actually

and that's why I'm scared every time before I perform. It doesn't matter if I'm singing for a king or a queen or the Pope, it's enough to be in front of anybody. I suffer, but I can't do anything about it. Andrea Bocelli An industrious sinner I much prefer to a lazy saint. Sophie Kerr Desire is the key to motivation, but it's the determination and commitment to unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek. Mario Andretti People are often afraid for me. They think that I am going to break. I can make it through a set. Joanna Newsom He who chooses the beginning of the road chooses the place it leads to. It is the means that determines the end. Harry Emerson Fosdick They see themselves as athletes and only athletes. John Murray I want the world to be better because I was here. Will Smith No, I'm at full height, I'm in the studio, I can actually catch actors by th

but looking back I can understand how devastating it was for my parents. I was only six, so I remember us having to move to Adelaide - but not much of the actual day and night of the flood. We had to start all over again and my parents opened a cafe. Samantha Stosur Outside of football and training, I am somewhat of a homebody. Love hangin' out with my siblings and close friends. Tim Tebow Accursed be he that first invented war. Christopher Marlowe If they give you ruled paper, write the other way. Juan Ramon Jimenez So many people suffer from abuse, and suffer alone. Pamela Stephenson It doesn't take a year to sing a song. Takes a year for people to figure out how to market it. Chrisette Michele Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty; power is ever stealing from the many to the few. Wendell Phillips I love the process of discovering a new world - that's why I'm passionate about acting. It's just discovering life, feelings, ideas and thought.

out to book, dance, theater, and fine-arts reviewers and reporters in the cultural deforestation that has driven refugees into the diffuse clatter of the Internet and Twitter, where some adapt and thrive - such as Roger Ebert - while others disappear without a twinkle. James Wolcott The greatest gift that you can give yourself is a little bit of your own attention. Anthony J. D'Angelo It was the baseball fantasy of a lifetime - to be able to sit on the bench with all those professional athletes. I got to take my son along because I wasn't sure I would be able to play with them. Matthew Modine I don't know why I write what I write. Bret Easton Ellis Hedge-hogs abound in my gardens and fields. Gilbert White So I would say God hates war, but God loves every soldier. Rick Warren A lot of the greatest compositions were made famous by Sinatra. Michael Bolton Hospitals are very extreme places - you can be in a maternity room one minute, and by someone's be

The last thing I need to be doing is having a beef with A Tribe Called Quest. It's silly and it was unnecessary. It ain't the first time that a director hasn't seen eye to eye with a subject and it ain't going to be the last time. Michael Rapaport Writing is the process of asking the next logical question. J. Michael Straczynski For me, the American promise isn't just an idea or a theory - it's my life story. Cristina Saralegui In Eastern culture, people see ghosts, people talk about ghosts... it's just accepted. And in Western culture it's just not. Jessica Alba The want of belief is a defect that ought to be concealed when it cannot be overcome. Jonathan Swift What impresses me is the young actors with terrific talent arriving on the scene. They'd have blown us all away in the old days. Guys like Brad Pitt. Robert Wagner In kindergarten that used to be my job, to tell them fairytales. I liked Hans Christian Andersen, and the Grimm

announcement. I guess I wasn't clear. If people think you're leaving a show after all these years, you might be retiring. So I understand where they're coming from, but I should have impressed the fact that I hope I'm just moving on right now. Regis Philbin Stripping away artifice - it's the constant standard I aim for in acting, to approximate life. People talk about being bigger than life - but there's nothing bigger than life. Robert Duvall Our Nation's immigration laws are disrespected both by those who cross our borders illegally and by the businesses that hire those illegal immigrants. Steve Israel And of all illumination which human reason can give, none is comparable to the discovery of what we are, our nature, our obligations, what happiness we are capable of, and what are the means of attaining it. Adam Weishaupt Our cat is kind dove shellfish, and thinks the world is hers, She finds a comfy spot and then we pet turtle sheep purrs. Bri

them. Every time I offer them they say no. I could say the most gorgeous redhead in the world and they'll say no, they don't want it. Now if you ask an Irish guy in Ireland, he says 'yes,' because that's indigenous to that country. Patti Stanger I'd prefer to be good, but I'm not always. I struggle. Laura Marling Poverty makes you sad as well as wise. Bertolt Brecht But the community knew Blade, and everybody but us was shocked at the box office, and subsequently the DVD. That was the beginning of the DVD revolution, and Blade was just like wildfire. Avi Arad Effective management always means asking the right question. Robert Heller I get a million ideas a day and I don't put too much weight on any one of them. The ones that really stick in my head are the ones I end up doing. Justin Zackham Computers may save time but they sure waste a lot of paper. About 98 percent of everything printed out by a computer is garbage that no one ever re

the old Nice: because of their musical discipline. This is one thing that British groups do have, a sort of discipline. Sometimes it can get a bit soulless, but on the whole I think it's preferable to the American alternative. Jon Lord The heart of the matter seems to me to be the direct interaction between one's making a poem in English and a poem in the language that one understands and values. I don't see how you can do it otherwise. Robert Fitzgerald I am a Buddhist, therefore I should not be collecting anything - however, I have a collection of Buddhas. I have a lot of them. Eric Ripert The trend now is to shoot in Canada because it's cheaper, and they don't care what the location is. Steve Buscemi A Latin teacher told me I might make a good actress, and that stuck in my memory. I did some modeling, and Polanski gave me that small part. Jacqueline Bisset I got a camera when I was nine years old and it wasn't until I was a model that I realize

is a dearth of great writing for black people. There are stories that depict us in a way that isn't cliched or niche, and that a white person, a Chinese person, an Indian person can watch and relate to. Those are the stories I want to be a part of telling. David Oyelowo As we watch TV or films, there are no organic transitions, only edits. The idea of A becoming B, rather than A jumping to B, has become foreign. Esa-Pekka Salonen In a consumer society, people wallow in things, fascinating, enjoyable things. If you define your value by the things you acquire and surround yourself with, being excluded is humiliating. Zygmunt Bauman I am a poor student sitting at the feet of giants, yearning for their wisdom and begging for lessons that might one day make me a complete artist, so that if all goes well, I may one day sit beside them. Rod Taylor People think they know you. They know the things about you that you have forgotten. Mick Jagger I'm pretty convinced there&#

age 5 from a virulent form of strep. As I stood stunned in a church at her memorial, one of the hardest things I heard someone say was, 'I'm going to go home and hug my child a little tighter.' 'Well, good for you,' I thought. 'I'm going to go home and scream.' Ann Hood I am suspending my presidential campaign, because of the continued distractions, the continued hurt caused on me and my family, not because we are not fighters. Not because I'm not a fighter. Herman Cain I could never say I'm going to do bigger and better things because that would negate what I've already accomplished, and I don't want to do that. Jeffrey Donovan No constitution is or can be perfectly symmetrical, what it can and must be is generally accepted as both fair and usable. Ferdinand Mount Each university should have a Young Scholars' Committee. I became the chairman of this Committee, and immediately it was permitted to have this plan officially

her for as long as I can remember. Every day, my respect for Mariah continues to grow higher. She's a caring, warm and funny person. People have no idea how funny she is! I feel like I've always known she was my forever love. Nick Cannon I love a bright lip with a neutral eye. It's an easy, wearable look that gives brightness to your face without looking over-the-top. Bobbi Brown I've always been more of a camera hog than anything, and it's just another way to get it all out! Carly Schroeder The films that I love are very straightforward stories, like really old-fashioned stuff. Paul Thomas Anderson My aim is to create the perfect dress! Victoria Beckham I think it's a style of acting that you trust. You trust the instincts. Jeff Daniels We have a wealth of talent in the Republican Party. Jeb Bush Given a choice between being happy or being efficient and safe, I'll take efficient and safe. Bob Buckhorn The cost of liberty is less than

to come do a movie, I'll be on time, know all my material, be ready to go, have a good attitude. I'm here to work, so I get hired over and over again by the same producers. If you just be a team player on set you can work so much more often. Dean Cain You can't predict what someone else is going to do and when someone else is going to leave. Jennifer Connelly I've always wanted to introduce hip-hop filmmaking to film. There's hip-hop art, dance, music, but there really isn't hip-hop film. So I was trying to do that. Darren Aronofsky For decades, parents were told by so-called parenting 'experts' that offspring would be best raised on the belief each is special and entitled to all life has to offer. Bob Barr While my father sang, Pedroza stared at me. By that time my eye pupils were staring at him, too, like a terrier that's got hold of a fox. Barry McGuigan Turning God into some kind of celestial insurance policy is just mental. Justi

reality-TV show, getting the guy who played Eddie Winslow and Kirk Cameron to live in a house. The Jehovah's Witnesses would come to the house a lot or something like that. I kind of like the idea of Scientologists and Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses trying to convert Kirk Cameron. Patrick Carney I prefer clothes that are simple, well-cut, but with one major extravagance. Something with the sleeves, with the skirt, but nothing too fussy, too flashy. Carolina Herrera I've learned a lot since I was a new mother. My approach to struggle and shame now is to talk to yourself like you'd talk to someone you love and reach out to tell your story. Brene Brown I thrive off the company of others, I love being sociable. David Walliams Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever. Lance Armstrong Right now the focus is the album that is released and then the tour coming up. After the tour they will let us know about the options and offers that came in for us. LaToya Lon

I was young and I was living with my mom for a little while, then I was kind of just on my own really young. It wasn't some kind of global tragedy, it was just never really a very close-knit family. So there was support in the sense that they didn't stand in my way. Ani DiFranco My goal has always been to make classic records, classic albums. Sometimes the recording process and the era it was recorded in means the production leans in a particular way, but to me they are all part of the same process. Steve Winwood I'm happy 'bout life. Still trying. I ain't giving up on life. Leon Spinks I'm a very anti-vacation person. Because I'm always getting on planes for work, to me, a vacation is when I don't have to get on a plane. Gilbert Gottfried If I like something, I get it and I put it on. Liam Gallagher I studied secondary education. Jim McKay I'm an independent, straight in the middle. I've donated to candidates that I thought wou

that was about raising consciousness, and I realised I could feed that directly into my work, using images in a way that was a bit like sampling - taking images from diverse places, exploring the contradictions without trying to hide the seams. Chris Ofili Man is defined as a human being and a woman as a female - whenever she behaves as a human being she is said to imitate the male. Simone de Beauvoir I don't have acknowledged preferences of characters. Christian Bale Woody Allen sets are very quiet. Extraordinary sense of power from a man who doesn't do anything except just stand there. F. Murray Abraham I got off the abutment and walked towards my office. Abraham Zapruder I am not against marriage. I lived with someone for 11 years. But we weren't in love, and I thought that was quite important. Lynne Truss I'm fairly out of the loop when it comes to pop culture. Cynthia Nixon Envy's a coal comes hissing hot from Hell. Philip James Bailey F

She said, 'God... God makes people. You understand that, don't you?' And I said, 'Yeah!' She said, 'Who makes a rainbow?" I said, 'God.' She said, 'I never presumed to tell anyone who could make a rainbow what color to make children.' Richard Dawson Multiple Sclerosis is obviously close to my heart and I'm determined to make a difference in the lives of people who suffer from the disease by raising the profile of MS, as well as raising funds for advocacy and research. Ann Romney I don't want to grow old gracefully. I want to put up a bit of a fight. Bruce Forsyth My father was a joyous, joyous spirit, he really was. He was a hedonist, that was just - he enjoyed life, thrust up to the elbows with it. He was a terrible father. I don't know that he was parented that well. Carrie Fisher I'm not a very religious man, but I'm proud to be a Jew. Irving Paul Lazar I measure the amount of shows I should do by my hai

to live at the very nexus of two of our most successful theories of physics: quantum mechanics, which explains the physics of the small, and Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, which explains the physics of the large, including gravity. Adam Riess I really do feel now that the way I dress onstage and for work is a true reflection of my own sense of style as well. Rachel Stevens I guess I was popular in high school. Cecily von Ziegesar Once is a man's life, for one mortal moment, he must make a grab for immorality; if not, he has not lived. Sylvester Stallone Even though mother's issues are not front page news, they touch us all personally, some more than others, and I believe passionately in the power of grassroots engagement. Joan Blades A neighborhood is a residential area that is changing for the worse. John Ciardi Over the last 15 years or so, Manchester has undergone huge transformation - from a city in decline and on its knees to one that is gro

Paleo diet, so I only eat once a day and it's at night - so kind of like interval fasting. But I eat until I'm full, I eat as much as I want, and I really don't eat anything that you couldn't find, you know, 10,000 years ago. Ronda Rousey Then you get into it, especially if you start talking about football, fighting and Muhammad Ali. Then the ladies get very bored and start delivering ultimatums. Oliver Reed Knowledge is power. Information is power. The secreting or hoarding of knowledge or information may be an act of tyranny camouflaged as humility. Robin Morgan Accordingly, it is our task to ensure that the Government formulates policies that foster the continued development of the IT sector while also providing for citizens' access to technology and opportunity for economic advancement. Tim Holden Anyone with a grain of sense would know that if I punched my wife I would rip her head off. It's all lies. I have never laid a finger on her. Mike Tys

a book or a clay pot. Every artist worries about how they will be seen by others through their work. When you create, you aspire to do justice to yourself, to remake yourself, and there is always the fear that you will expose the very thing that you hoped to transform. Rachel Cusk I try to be honest and I keep moving. Erykah Badu I used to eat burgers and steak, and I would just be knocked out afterward; I had to give it up. Woody Harrelson The sooner we get started with alternative energy sources and recognize that fossil fuels makes us less secure as a nation, and more dangerous as a planet, the better off we'll be. Lindsey Graham If you go too soon, you can come unstuck with 50m left when the guys are going past you. Michael East I know how to do anything, I'm a mom. Roseanne Barr Americans are less selfish than some of our politicians believe and will respond with reason and resilience to passionate clarity. Jennifer Egan I really loved what the guys we
