Ambassador. I love FLIRT! products because they help me express my own personal style - especially when I want to stand out on set or in the crowd. What could be more fun than getting to play with makeup and fragrance and tell people all about it! Heather Morris I'm so excited for my first fragrance! I chose to partner with Dots because I love what they do for their customers, bringing them the hottest trends in fashion, accessories and fragrance at unbelievably low prices. It's amazing! Jordin Sparks I said I thought female labour of the sort exacted from these slaves, and corporal chastisement such as they endure, must be abhorrent to any manly or humane man. Fanny Kemble But Apple really beats to a different drummer. I used to say that Apple should be the Sony of this business, but in reality, I think Apple should be the Apple of this business. Steve Jobs I keep trying to write a bad boy and they always come out nice. I don't see the appeal of someone who is...

met my father, who was a Tuskegee Airman who was from Southern Virginia. They migrated to Washington and I wouldn't even exist if it were not for that migration. And I brought her back to Georgia, both my parents, actually. Isabel Wilkerson I don't believe in God. Gail Porter Everything is a mystery, ourselves, and all things both simple and humble. Giorgio Morandi Well, I made an announcement to my family at 8 that I wanted to be an actor, and I focused like a laser beam on it. I never had a fallback plan. Jennifer Carpenter I've been a Brewers fan since birth. Chad Harbach I'm a shy person, so I get really nervous going into interviews. Skylar Grey Careers in virtually all academic disciplines are fostered by being a superstar who knows more about one subject than anyone else in the world. Philip Zimbardo That's what a good crime novelist - any good novelist - should do with you: play with your perceptions while showing you everything in plain...

on, it will get better. Know that an 'Iron Chef,' actors, musicians, artists and all successful people have probably been bullied in their life. And the best part of your life is yet to come. Whatever it takes to live, do it! Cat Cora In real football, I wouldn't want Terrell Owens anywhere near my team. But you're nuts if you don't take him in fantasy. Randy Cross My soul is not my own any more. I cannot live like I want to. I am going to give up films. Brigitte Bardot When ignorance gets started it knows no bounds. Will Rogers If people are taking pictures of me at Starbucks, it's not the end of the world. It's cool, it's fun, it's exciting. Cory Monteith You can act in five, six, or seven films in the time it takes to direct one film. Stephen Fry At some point, the time will have passed when individuals are capable of major discoveries. Rolf-Dieter Heuer I tend to think of all the songs the same - I give them all kind of equal...

I really think it's important to help yourself with the technology if you want to feel better, but I am absolutely against any kind of monstrous cuts of the body, lifting that is beyond recognition, this kind of stuff. Marina Abramovic My parents never pressured me to skate. They always said I could quit if I wanted to. They only expected me to skate when they had already paid for the expensive lessons. But, otherwise they said I could do what I wanted to do. Nancy Kerrigan The way most people fail is in not keeping up the heart. Lady Gregory Our Soviet espionage efforts had virtually never, or had very seldom, produced any worthwhile political or economic intelligence on the Soviet Union. Aldrich Ames You stuff somebody into the American dream, and it becomes a prison. Craig L. Thomas We're apt to fall in love with those who are mysterious and challenging to us. Helen Fisher Dreamland is a book, but it's my song in book form. It's translated itself in...

front of your goal, and especially something like that, whether it's too much gambling, too much food, too much cold beers on the weekend - anything that you put in front of the prize is going to end up getting in the way and hurting you in the end. Brad Renfro I've written enough books with real celebrities, such as Walter Payton and Hank Aaron and Billy Graham, to know that fame looks good only to people who don't have it. Jerry B. Jenkins The problem with politicians getting to know the issues in indigenous townships is that we tend to suffer from what Aboriginal people call the 'seagull syndrome' - we fly in, scratch around and fly out. Tony Abbott I have a tip that will take five strokes off anyone's golf game. It's called an eraser. Arnold Palmer Well, I mean, the real attack on truth is tabloid journalism in the United States. Julian Assange I was raised in a Baptist household, went to a Catholic church, lived in a Jewish neighborhood, ...

ceremony. Somebody else had won the prize for best all-around student. Afterwards my father said to me, 'Never, ever disgrace me like that again.' When I tell my Western friends, they are aghast. But I adore my father. It didn't knock my self-esteem at all. Amy Chua Kubrick never explained the ending to us, or what his intentions were. He didn't intend for it to be a predictable film. Keir Dullea I take time to get close to, and I don't immediately throw my arms round someone. Bernard Arnault The first organised opposition by women to women's suffrage in England dates from 1889, when a number of ladies led by Mrs Ward appealed against the proposed extension of the Parliamentary suffrage to women. Millicent Fawcett For nearly as long as civilization has existed, patriarchy - enforced through the rights of the firstborn son - has been the organizing principle, with few exceptions. Hanna Rosin I'm a big laser believer - I really think they are th...

'Little House on the Prairie' - so I always wanted to wear those looks. When I was a child, I wouldn't let my mom put me in anything but calico dresses and now... whaddaya know, every day I'm in a calico dress, basically, so it's kind of funny. Chloe Sevigny I spoke to my agent and learned that a Hollywood scout had seen my proposal in one of the publishing houses, and had faxed it to Hollywood, where it was generating a lot of interest. Laura Hillenbrand Money, celebrity and power can be very intoxicating. Corey Hart Well, it takes a certain amount of money. And I've got to see pictures of the person ahead of time. If I don't like the way the person looks I won't do it. Helmut Newton I did not go to military school. I had an option either a military school or a private school. I don't know how to get that out of the information that's out there. Channing Tatum When I was a kid, I had some Charles Lloyd records. David Johansen M...

I think, if you're wise, you learn from both. You learn a lot from a loss. You learn what is it that we're not doing to get to where we want to go. It really gets your attention and it really motivates the work ethic of your team when you're not doing well. Morgan Wootten The United Nations remains our most important global actor. These days we are continuously reminded of the enormous responsibility of the Security Council to uphold international peace and stability. Anna Lindh What I write is very personal, but not autobiographical. It's more 'thematically personal' - what's up in my life in terms of themes at the moment. Josh Radnor I started cooking 30-something years ago. When I was 14, 15, I was a short-order cook in a snack bar. That was at a place called the Gran Centurions. It was an Italian-American swim club my parents belonged to. Tom Colicchio When I came to America in the '60s, it was the place to be. I wonder if I'd come he...

movements become different, my mood is different. It involves letting everything fall behind you, becoming intuitive in your dealings with wild creatures in a way that bypasses reason. Sometimes it's more like a dance than anything else. Frans Lanting It's nice to know that people appreciate and respect you. Marcel Carne And the cornerstone of my economic policies, when I first got elected, was cutting taxes on everybody on who paid taxes. George W. Bush Lipgloss is my calling! Vanessa Hudgens They are representations of many shared hours of collaboration between us all. That's the real nature of the relationship the orchestra and I are trying to build. Michael Tilson Thomas I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart I think I can be relatively attractive when I dress up, but I'm not Julia Roberts or Catherine Zeta Jones. Joanne Frogg...

If people are able to buy a little more in the grocery store, someone has to stock it, package it, shelve it, process it, ship it. All of those are jobs. It's the most direct stimulus you can get in the economy during these tough times. Tom Vilsack I'm so fascinated by the concept of teen pregnancy for some reason. Not that I condone it or promote it, but it's just a very real thing in our country and culture. Leven Rambin I hope I will be remembered as a good father and a fair employer. And a good host, of course! Diego Della Valle I see far stronger and more charismatic personalities strolling around Philadelphia's neighborhoods than are being featured in most of today's bland daytime soaps. Camille Paglia I must use Ferrari to the maximum. My priority is to get results. Then we will see what happens. Jean Alesi I took a Groundlings class in my 20s, and I was terrible. They didn't even pass me to the next level. Rashida Jones Where men of jud...

political class. The 'fiscal cliff' process was secretive and sloppy, and the nation's so-called leadership lacked the political courage to address our root problems: joblessness and debt. Ron Fournier My graffiti really comes more from a May '68, sort of Situationist vibe than the hip-hop world. I think a real graffiti artist would find me a poser. Mike Mills I always managed to get in trouble, like every kid. But I had to learn a lot of hard lessons on my own, without parents who would nurture me and guard me through that part of life, at a very young age. Ted Dekker President Bush is manufacturing a crisis by suggesting that Social Security is in imminent danger. It is not. Richard Neal I'd like to say to all my fans out there, thanks for the support. And to all my doubters, thank you very much because you guys have also pushed me. Usain Bolt Dear Lord, I'm so grateful I'm still loved. Vivien Leigh How paramount the future is to the pres...

about things that they know. I suggest that they write about people and places and events and conflicts they are familiar with. That way their writing will be real and hopefully readers will respond to it. I try to take my own advice. D. J. MacHale I started working with friends of mine and that, to some degree, continues. Jim Jarmusch I'm more selective now I've got a family. I don't want to work all the time. My daughter's 12; I don't want to miss out on her life. Soon she'll be a teenager; she won't want me around. Julie Walters You can't drown yourself in drink. I've tried, you float. John Barrymore I love to walk into Borders or Barnes & Noble and see my books there. It's fabulous. P. C. Cast Most actors are very grateful for what is as opposed to what will be. You spend 98% of your time looking for a job, so when you get it, it's fantastic. Brian d'Arcy James Papa always makes it clear that he would like to kno...

express something that is out of the space so I'm part of the consumer system but I'm advocating stepping out. Which is a contradiction but I could be part of he consumer system and say, 'let's consume even more.' Michel Gondry The time has come to underscore the fact that our and others' rights are contingent on our willingness to assert and defend them. John Charles Polanyi A poem in form still has to have voice, gesture, a sense of discovery, a metaphoric connection, as any poetry does. Robert Morgan She is incredibly fit, but we remind staff that she's not just the monarch, but our mother. Prince Andrew I am ridiculously high-maintenance. Rufus Wainwright I was an angst-y journal writing kid. Justin Halpern A man makes you feel important - makes you glad you are a woman. Marilyn Monroe But now that I'm a blonde, guys are so blatant about coming on to me. Laura Prepon A master of improvised speech and improvised policies. A. J...

and capacious glue internally. The American identity has always been ethnically and religiously neutral, so within one generation you have Italian-Americans, Irish-Americans, Chinese-Americans, Jamaican-Americans - they feel American. It's a huge success story. Amy Chua I would rather have played a character like Opie than Little Ricky. Keith Thibodeaux I'll keep doing it until I die or the audiences die. Mark Russell Statistically, I'd say there are about as many gay figure skaters as there are gay football players. The majority are straight. There are just those few exceptions, and those are the ones who have gotten picked on and followed over the years. Johnny Weir What's cool about Twitter is that you can make a joke about something very of-the-moment or random that I wouldn't be able to joke about in stand-up. Aziz Ansari The formation of the News America Publishing Group will lead to greater editorial excitement, new business opportunities and g...

Don't do it. When I watch TV and I see someone trying to make me like them, acting cute or quirky or goofy, I'm not impressed. Don't act like America's watching you. Just latch onto your character. Characters are flawed. Be unlikeable. Be flawed. Be a person. Nathan Fillion I think it's safe to say that it's rather premature for anyone to make any initial assessment or analysis of Kim Jong-un, or have an accurate impression on Kim Jong-un. Lee Myung-bak I don't ever go on the Internet. I don't even know how it works. Beverly Cleary I was just thinking of James Dean and Marilyn Monroe and how young they were when they died. I would like to be a pop icon who survives. I would like to be a living icon. John Travolta How is it that we remember the least triviality that happens to us, and yet not remember how often we have recounted it to the same person? Francois de La Rochefoucauld You have to draw on your unconscious when you make a film - y...

terrorists come in and hold us hostage, that's about the only thing that could possibly warrant me carrying a gun in the clubhouse. That's highly unlikely, and I admit that. But my personal belief is I don't want to suffer from the poor choices of others. Luke Scott I don't think marriage is a civil right, but I think that being able to transfer property is a civil right. Barack Obama To me, job titles don't matter. Everyone is in sales. It's the only way we stay in business. Harvey Mackay Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted to be an actor. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau I am no longer able to be anonymous. Kristin Bauer van Straten I was very inspired by my mother. She was a vocal teacher and sang in a band, and my first memories of her were going out with her on the local circuit. Daryl Hall And I think for me there's a lot of neurosis involved with where you should be or thinking about where you are all the time instead of being where you are...

same way. Within 200 years of the advent of this nation, men were walking on the moon, and I want us to recognize this is the kind of people that we are. We're creative with a lot of ingenuity and a lot of energy. Ben Carson It's the bullies who are afraid, are the ones that do all the fighting. It's not the secure kids that get out there and fight. It's the insecure kids. Chuck Norris Whether I'm telling stories in songs or if directing is the next step, being a storyteller is what I like doing. Kelly Jones What is the art world? I never really understood. I started doing this stuff to do what I want to do. Not to be this or that. Urs Fischer Clark Kent, I suppose, had a little bit of Harold Lloyd in him. Joe Shuster I was always the only black in the movie theater, the only black in class, the only black in the library, the only black in the discotheque. I always felt observed and judged. Concha Buika Well I think comedy everywhere has lost a bit...

the same ingredients, and somebody's going to make it better than somebody else, and that's the creativity of it. It's like music. You could have a bunch of people playing the same piece, and somebody's gonna play it better. Dweezil Zappa I don't really want to be fat, so I stop before I am. I'm not a vegetarian, but I might go through a phase when I'm not interested in eating protein for a week or so, and then I might go through a phase when I eat nothing but steak. Sharon Stone At the time I wrote Xone I had never been on the Internet. Piers Anthony No matter how closely you examine the water, glucose, and electrolyte salts in the human brain, you can't find the point where these molecules became conscious. Deepak Chopra When you write something it has to hit the level that you accept as being good. Will Champion People endure what they endure and they deal with it. It may corrupt them. It may lead them into all sorts of compensatory exc...

ice and within your career in the NHL whether it be owners, GM's, coaches, players, trainers, all the way down. And that doesn't even account for all of the people that you encountered outside of the game that you met along this trip, too. Ron Francis The GOP can't even envision winning the White House if we lose a significant percentage of the Hispanic vote. Luis Fortuno Media play a powerful role in establishing and perpetuating social norms. Jackson Katz So now 20 years later people want us to get together so they can take shots at all these old babes trying to get back some youth. I mean come on; I've been there. I know what the press would do. Joan Jett I love to sing, and I warm up to Maria Callas. Cybill Shepherd I had always loved to write and my mom was my editor for my school papers. Jenna Bush Political risk is hard to manage because so much comes down to the personal choices of policymakers, whether prime ministers or heads of central banks...

I always think it's way more terrifying when someone is fuming and talks in a very calm way. I always want people to shout at me if they're angry - it freaks me out that whole thing of, 'I'm not angry I'm just disappointed.' Jessica Brown Findlay Actors are part of a certain percentage of people on this planet who have an emotional vocabulary as a primary experience. It's as if their life is experienced emotionally and then that is translated intellectually or conceptually into the performance. Mary McDonnell Keep cool my babies. Conan O'Brien A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds. Percy Bysshe Shelley I used a bike in London and that's it. I learnt a lot about biking, and really got into. Now I cycle regularly. Jonny Lee Miller I would say that workers in general, and white workers particularly, are correct that their economic wellbeing is deteriorating. Andy Stern I lik...

other places in this larger structure that have denizens in them that call their local environs the universe. And conditions in those other places could be very different. Or they could be pretty similar to what we have here. Sean M. Carroll I certainly don't think I would have been asked to pose for Rage if I wasn't a known writer. Poppy Z. Brite One-third of our people were dangerously ill, getting worse hourly, and we felt sure of meeting the same fate, with death as our only prospect, which in such a country was much worse yet. Alvar N. C. de Vaca In my wildest dreams I never thought - well, I never thought I'd work. Steve Carell The press keep asking me, 'What was your biggest mistake?' But if I had made a big mistake, they'd all be writing about it, wouldn't they? Ken Livingstone I think that my past stands me in good stead in that it does have a certain strength for musicians. John Sebastian The mint makes it first, it is up to you t...

behaviors like picking carpet fuzz and watching spinning plates for hours. I didn't want to be touched. I couldn't shut out background noise. I didn't talk until I was about 4 years old. I screamed. I hummed. But as I grew up, I improved. Temple Grandin Our relations with the other powers of Europe have experienced no essential change since the last session. James Monroe My first care the following morning was, to devise some means of discovering the man in the grey cloak. Adelbert von Chamisso Jews have had to carry around their own sense of self in a carpet bag and I think perhaps too much emphasis might be being put on nationality and on the other hand patriotism, that sort of thing. Janet Suzman To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of strength of mind. William Hazlitt During my first photo shoot, I was unhappy because they put so much makeup on me and straightened my hair. I...

less scary than flying coach. They speak to you and they're so nice to you and they want to help you and they know you want a drink before the plane takes off. And they bring it to you without asking. If you're sitting in coach and hoping for a drink, good luck. Hope Davis I'm not American. I still have my Japanese citizenship. Masi Oka It's good to be playing one and a half hour again. In the States we played like an hour and when you got onstage it felt like all of a sudden you are already done your set. But now, it feels like we are touring again. Kerry King Some of the material out there - I don't want to say that it's all bad - but there's a lot of bad stuff out there. You just continue reading scripts, and eventually you find something you connect with. Jay Hernandez I don't understand why people talk of art as a luxury when it's a mind-altering possibility. Jeanette Winterson Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God...

folks who just kind of look at you when you say something funny. You wonder if they're looking at you because they're mad that they didn't say it or something. It's hard to handle that. Jason Sudeikis I feel that Jane's is really a vibe and a time. It wasn't like we were the Beatles. We didn't have crafty pop songs where it sort of didn't matter who played them because they're just really great songs. Eric Avery I know somebody in every culture. Timbaland If you ever have the good fortune to meet Tippi Hedren, she's an amazing woman. You can't quite believe she is the age she is. Toby Jones My role, or anyone's role in network news, is to make the person on camera look good. You don't do that, you don't work there. Lowell Bergman I'm in pursuit of what cannot be achieved: perfection. Andrew Vachss I haven't exaggerated anything, I've stuck to the facts. Scott Ritter We should strive to be employed ...

the first time, there are people that are there that just want to see the famous person, or the guy from 'Dumb and Dumber' or whatever movie they liked. And that's fine, it gets them in the door, but then it's my job to give them something different. Jeff Daniels We need creative people working with broadcasters, making smart content to inspire people to be geniuses. will.i.am I read nonfiction almost exclusively - both for research and also for pleasure. When I read fiction, it's almost always in the thriller genre, and it needs to rivet me in the opening few chapters. Dan Brown And we've got to ask ourselves some very serious questions as to whether or not certain religious leaders, in terms of raising money - I hate to bring this up - are pushing hot buttons. Tony Campolo I just started to put texting and phones in my books. I want my books to be read 20 years from now; I don't want them to be dated. Sarah Dessen Loads of computer graphics ...

cast, it's going to be a great group - similar to the theater where it's a bunch of people who are really talented and go to work each day and challenge each other, and if you are lucky enough to get a hit then it's five or six or seven years of this kind of work. Denis Leary Now that I'm on Broadway, it's like NASA engineering with the costumes. I was very grateful for the slightly more high-tech ones in my show, 'Venus in Fur'; our costume designer Anita Yavich is kind of a genius. Nina Arianda Every year, thousands of Californians flee that populous paradise for tax-eased small government oasis of America's red states. Allen West Never in my wildest dreams did I entertain the idea that I would become a fashion designer. Giorgio Armani Women's natural role is to be a pillar of the family. Grace Kelly I would not take for granted that my personal life - because I knew better than anybody - that it was just a life. It was surprisingly ...

have irreparably estranged relationships with their siblings who live full and satisfying lives, but to have siblings and not make the most of that resource is squandering one of the greatest interpersonal resources you'll ever have. Jeffrey Kluger I was fairly solitary. I didn't like structured learning. People didn't seem to be my cup of tea. Dan Farmer It is worse than immoral, it's a mistake. Dean Acheson My family said that I wanted to act even when I was a child living on a tea plantation in the jungle in India. Julie Christie Whether it's trivial or important, every choice has a moral aspect to it to a certain degree. Park Chan-wook When you lose a lover it's like getting a bad haircut. It grows back in time. Sammy Davis, Jr. I'm lucky if I find one movie a year that's worth doing, and when I do find one, it usually only takes 20-30 days to shoot. Kevin Spacey What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you...

in this world of ugliness. I think that if people can recognize that you can actually help and change that ugliness, then you'll feel a lot better about yourself as well, and that does create a certain amount of happiness. Sheryl WuDunn I certainly think Halle Berry's a wonderful role model. She's a terrific stepmother and has shown that in so many beautiful ways and has made such enormous strides for women culturally and such great successes as an actress and philanthropist. Sharon Stone I'm not frightened of appearing vulnerable. Amy Winehouse We've made some mistakes in this country in times past - the Korean conflict proceeding that, some say proceeding the Persian Gulf War, where we were ambiguous as to what we would do. Fred Thompson By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower. Rabindranath Tagore Great companies start because the founders want to change the world... not make a fast buck. Guy Kawasaki I joke, but only h...

that, he was a member of a vanishing breed, especially as narrowcasting displaces broadcasting, 'online' replaces 'on the air,' and any Tom, Dick or Mary can be monarch of a desktop domain, uplinking themselves to satellites in space. Tom Shales I'm not going to just fade out, I know. Kato Kaelin Who belongs to the community of the commonly protected? Robert Casey I knew that it was my only shot to be taken seriously in the recording industry, because it's fast and broad. Adam Lambert I'm just like you, only I'm different because I'm me. Jim Coleman We're Jews, my family, and Jews break down into two distinct subcultures: book Jews and money Jews. We were money Jews. Ira Glass It's hard to wind down, but then I beat myself up because I have a tense back. Bethenny Frankel Management interests me at some stage in my life, I have always said that. When that will be I really couldn't tell you. Alan Shearer I feel like ...

made me feel like I wasn't being unique. Even now, I won't wear the skinny-jeans style, because most people wear those - they have to be baggier, boyfriend-looking, or sort of like a mom jean. I'm real funny that way. Elle Fanning The child who has been taught to make an accurate elevation, plan, and section of a pint pot has had an admirable training in accuracy of eye and hand. Thomas Huxley Life has a way of working out the way it's meant to. Jillian Michaels Margaret Thatcher was in my year, and our first-year college photograph shows us standing side by side in the back row. We were both grammar school girls on state scholarships. Nina Bawden My fellow Minnesotans join me in mourning the loss of America's 40th President and celebrating the life of a man who personified both the greatness and goodness of America. Jim Ramstad Helsinki may not be as cold as you make it out to be, but California is still a lot nicer. I don't remember the last tim...

tenth generation punk bands like Green Day and Offspring and all those people. It just made me fall in love with punk again and remember my roots, and since that time I've always wanted to do more of that kind of music again. Jane Wiedlin Probably 95 percent of the things that are written never get on the screen. Joseph Wambaugh I think women do write politically all the time. Margaret Atwood does; Doris Lessing does. Lorrie Moore Inspiration is finding something that excites you. Connie Smith But usually I begin things through a drawing, so a lot of things are worked out in the drawing. But even then, I still allow for and want to make changes. Roy Lichtenstein Usually, in romantic comedies, you end up sacrificing a great deal of the complexity - you know, just two attractive people and a good soundtrack. Timothy Olyphant In the U.K., there is a sort of obsession with class. Laura Carmichael If I find cool, open-minded people, want to do unique one-of-a-kind k...

don't you? Because they don't mean anything. It's the tough ones like 'Breaking the Waves' and 'Nil By Mouth' that stay with you, that you never forget. I'd like to leave a few of those behind if possible. Olivia Colman I'm always looking for ways to develop as an artist, especially as a jazz artist-to find different ways of testing my voice. Cassandra Wilson A man would prefer to come home to an unmade bed and a happy woman than to a neatly made bed and an angry woman. Marlene Dietrich I'm a horrible golfer. Vince Vaughn Producing came about because I never wanted to be in one of those books, Where Are They Now? Henry Winkler Well, for me, I grew up very Southern Baptist, and I definitely lived in my bubble. You know, I lived in my bubble that was in my church. Jessica Simpson This program that the Republican majority has taken us toward as a country is leading us to fiscal bankruptcy. Chaka Fattah We also very importantly r...

mention districts, like Wilshire and Hollenbeck and Marina, but Farmington was a fictitious district, and we never actually uttered the word 'LAPD.' So that was sort of the deal we made with them. Kurt Sutter I think you can tell when someone is being dishonest as an actor. Kat Dennings I am, at the end of the day, a guy who loves story. Max Landis Nothing succeeds, they say, like success. And certainly nothing fails like failure. Margaret Drabble Many of the Western democracies - including the U.S. - have a problem that voters want benefits they don't want to pay for. Henry Paulson Books are like my one and only joy. John Lydon Most of my fights, I push the pace. I'm the aggressor. Clay Guida It takes a certain type of person to register your 'Donkey Kong' score. So I'm just number 29 in registered Donkey Kong scores. Will Forte No matter how painful something is, you have to take it. I saw that in both my parents. Bernard Lagat W...

gives me a comfort and patience. All actors have this hole inside that they're trying to fill by performing. I'm anxious to keep creating, but I'm not so desperate any more because I have the love and support of my kids and wife. John C. Reilly To get away from one's working environment is, in a sense, to get away from one's self; and this is often the chief advantage of travel and change. Charles Horton Cooley Obama likes to quote great men but will never be a great man himself. I can't stand it when our leader goes around apologizing for who we are. Joe Wurzelbacher We spend our lives trying to get along with people so we can keep our jobs, keep our marriages together, so that we can raise our kids properly. Helen Fisher Villains are fun to play. Edi Gathegi There's no Peter York Foundation, and you're no one without one. Peter York Don't write the book you think publishers want to commission. Plenty of other writers will be doing...

easy and pleasant for them to use our computers. We're supposed to be really good at this. That doesn't mean we don't listen to customers, but it's hard for them to tell you what they want when they've never seen anything remotely like it. Steve Jobs My workday begins around 11 A.M., with a cup of black coffee in each hand. If I had more hands, there would be more coffee. Aaron Levie I have since wandered among men of many races and many religions. Alfred Russel Wallace We're all idealistic when young. Pat Oliphant I set our house on fire when I was a little child playing with lighters. Boy, did I burn the place down! Flavor Flav One of the most fun inventions of my lifetime is the Mini. James Dyson The thing that motivates me is a very common form of motivation. And that is, with other folks counting on me, it's so easy to be motivated. Jeff Bezos I played English football - soccer - instead of American football, because we couldn't...

of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. As a rule, however, long-term civic/corporate partnerships are still rare .But this need not remain the status quo, as many opportunities are available for such partnerships. Simon Mainwaring Many are they who have a taste and love for drawing, but no talent; and this will be discernible in boys who are not diligent and never finish their drawings with shading. Leonardo da Vinci Bow down before the one you serve, you're going to get what you deserve. Trent Reznor I think intelligence is totally subjective; it's like sexiness. David Fincher Why talk now when so many things have been said without ever giving me a chance to talk? Bobby Knight Everyone has a mad half-hour once a month. Geri Halliwell I spent most of my career doing high-energy physics, quarks, dark matter, string theory and so on. Geoffrey West I could walk and swim at 10 months old. Brandon Cruz Ego gets you inches but it doesn't get you impact. Cameron Si...

not only what was going to happen next, but how is this done? How is it that these words on the page make me feel the way I'm feeling? This is the line of inquiry that I think happens in a child's mind, without him even knowing he has aspirations as a writer. E. L. Doctorow If we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of why we and the universe exist. Stephen Hawking Health reform is an essential part of restoring America's economy and maintaining our competitiveness. Max Baucus I do reread, kind of obsessively, partly for the surprise of how the same book reads at a different point in life, and partly to have the sense of returning to an old friend. Elizabeth Strout There's every reason to think SSRIs blunt your ability to fall and stay in love. Helen Fisher We may have forgotten how to f...

From the time I was 21, I've taken them on everything from clay courts to cement to wood floors, coming off pianos, going out a two-story window, landing on Dean, falling into the rough. You do that and you're gonna have problems. Jerry Lewis Hawaii is paradise. It sounds cheesy to say it, but there's music in the air there. Bruno Mars Rhyme is a mnemonic device, an aid to the memory. And some poems are themselves mnemonics, that is to say, the whole purpose of the poem is to enable us to remember some information. James Fenton The best indication is that I still love to ski on most anything, from skating gear to heavy metal. Paul Parker Foreign capital to build new cinemas will help modernize China's aging cinema infrastructure, attract Chinese consumers back into cinemas, and increase demand for U.S. films. Jack Valenti I think it is important to maintain a sense of self and confidence, not letting either falter for the sake of a particular part or proj...

and you see a Basquiat, a Warhol, a Richard Prince, you say to yourself, '$700,000, $2.2 million, $350,000...' To me that is completely uninteresting. I'd rather go to a house where there's great art and I have no idea who the work is by. Jean Pigozzi When we talk about feminism - equality without apology for all - we can't be talking about for all white women or all highly educated women but all women, regardless of color, class, creed, sexual orientation or identity. Christine Pelosi I used to have trouble in front of an audience. I felt uncomfortable. Robert Goulet In our time, the curse is monetary illiteracy, just as inability to read plain print was the curse of earlier centuries. Ezra Pound In saving Tibet, you save the possibility that we are all brothers, sisters. Richard Gere I've been acting for a while, but theater is pretty different. I've never been in a play. Miranda Cosgrove The baritone can serve functions that the alto and...

are kind of assuming that 'Wall Street Journal,' 'USA Today,' and other newspapers are very important. Yes, they're extremely important, but only to 1 percent of the population on a daily basis. Yuri Milner When people put that sort of pressure on you, you're worried that people won't want to receive you. Gavin DeGraw I'm interested in the human impact of the giant foot of misplaced government. After all, we encounter it every day. Dave Eggers I am an affirmative action hire. Anna Quindlen I had a lot of fun with my costume designer. Adam Lambert Four months of preparation and about 12 hours of shooting turned into about 30 seconds of screen time. Wentworth Miller But I love New York. I used to set my alarm clock when I was there, and get up at 4am and get a coffee, just because I could. Gail Porter The good lawyer is the great salesman. Janet Reno In order to have wisdom we must have ignorance. Theodore Dreiser It is always se...

To live in a society where you're trying not to look at it is stupid because looking at death throws us back into life with more vigour and energy. The fact that flowers don't last for ever makes them beautiful. Damien Hirst There is a greater fatigue concerning the African problem today than five or 10 years ago. The situation now in Africa is worse today than it was 10 years ago. Boutros Boutros-Ghali Love is just chemistry. Rachel Hunter I would love a recurring role on '90210.' I would say yes to just about any role in acting that doesn't tarnish my image. Vinny Guadagnino I know I had been successful in football. I had been successful in broadcasting. I didn't think that anything could touch me. I thought, I can beat anything. Pat Summerall Every single journey that I've embarked on, I've learned something new. Shailene Woodley Many artists stick to making and hire a manager to focus on their business. Artists that build websites a...

therapist or have analysis, whatever reason you go in for, they will always bring you back to your family. We're strong or weak according to what family we have. You might have left them long ago, might not even talk to them, but something lingers; we have no choice. Sandrine Bonnaire There are not many Irish people playing tennis! Goran Ivanisevic I have faith in the jury system. Nancy Grace The best we can do, to paraphrase Pollan, is to eat whole foods, mostly plants, and not too much. A. J. Jacobs In journalism, there has always been a tension between getting it first and getting it right. Ellen Goodman I have a collection of impractical vintage dresses and jackets. I guess I never grew out of the 'playing dress up' faze. It's actually a bit of a problem. Candice Accola I'd rather sell 10,000 records that represent me than 2 million that don't represent me at all. Phillip Phillips I think Michigan keeps you sane and on an even keel throu...

their situations. English people are always known to be well mannered and cold but we are not cold - we don't interfere in your situation. If we are heartbroken, we don't scream in your face with tears - we go home and cry on our own. Michael Caine It is obvious, moreover, that the formation of price in capitalist society must differ from the formation of price in social conditions based upon the simple production of commodities. Rudolf Hiferding When famous people come up to you it's a bit weird, but it's an honour, really, when they recognise you and want to chat to you for a bit. Wayne Rooney So writing became a way to get to act in things that I thought were meaningful, and hopefully write stronger roles for other women. Brit Marling I know you hear horror stories about child actors, but I think in my family when I did start acting it was never a big deal. Ashley Johnson I'm not interested in the heroes or the villains. I'm interested in playi...

movies is 'The Notebook' so I guess that would be considered romantic. But I think being romantic is more than the flowers and the gifts. It's about connecting with the person and being able to talk and share things with her. Taylor Lautner I design all my sets. With my tour and my album artwork, I co-design that with people who are better at drawing than me. But I've got a good imagination. I went to art school so I understand how to communicate my ideas. Paloma Faith Most actors can't make any kind of living. Viggo Mortensen I refuse to discuss tabloid rumors. LeAnn Rimes As a teenager I was clinically depressed. Although I had lots of friends, I found those years very difficult. Lena Headey I feel like I want to crawl out of my skin, especially when people start questioning me. Skeet Ulrich If you are a young writer today, it's very hard. Doris Lessing I like predictability because I know what I'm getting into. Katherine Heigl Wisd...

fear so much about the survival of the regime, because deep down it's not a legitimate regime, it doesn't represent the will of the people, it's kind of morphed into kind of a military theocracy. Hillary Clinton I want to provoke people with thoughts, not by taking my clothes off. It's time to move on from Stripperville. Marina and the Diamonds And you don't want to just totally mess up the rhythm when you're playing with Bob Dylan. Jenna Elfman I'm set to have my best year ever: I'm hiring some acts and there will be a show in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening. I'm going to use my theater to its fullest potential. Mickey Gilley I have to admit that I am really partial to the look and feel of a book. I have been that way my entire life. Al Seckel The goal of the Head Start program is to give at-risk children all across our Nation a fair chance at succeeding in the educational system. Joe Baca I'm just so against k...

that wherever I go in the world it's not Manchester City that starts the conversation. 'Ah, yes, Manchester United,' is the response when I say where I come from. It's commonplace everywhere - in Europe, Africa, Asia and even the U.S. Lucy Powell The past can be used to renew the present, not just to bury it. Terry Eagleton We all think we're liberated when we have more of everything, don't we? That's what the media tell us. Pauline Collins When you have children love is always there in the best form. Rachel Roy I think the genetics of being Irish are that you sort of prefer when it's rainy and cloudy. It's just genetic. Kate Flannery When you know something in your heart, you better not be quiet about it. You better speak out about it. Zach Wamp Membership in the bar is a privilege burdened with conditions. Benjamin Cardozo I never stopped working. Roger Moore I spent several years cooking on a line. Jose Garces I am very ...

We need all the fallibility we can get. Most of all, we need to preserve the absolute unpredictability and total improbability of our connected minds. That way we can keep open all the options, as we have in the past. Lewis Thomas I am really proud that I am one of the artists that has the opportunity to be on magazine covers and to be in the movies. Beyonce Knowles When we choose to have an abortion, we must do so understanding the full ramifications of what we are doing. Anything less feels to me to be hypocritical, a selfish abnegation of reality and responsibility. Ayelet Waldman I would definitely love to be a parent. Kate Walsh I have thought that I have seen ghosts on many occasions. Taylor Caldwell Actors have an opportunity to use storytelling as a way to solve pain. Nicolas Cage I knew I wanted to be an actress as soon as I popped out. Dee Wallace As regards my feelings about drummers - there's Buddy Rich, and then there's everybody else. Mel Tor...

the 13 years of Prohibition. At a stroke, the American government closed down the fifth largest industry in the United States - alcohol production - and just handed it to criminals - a pretty remarkable thing to do. Bill Bryson I became much happier when I realized I shouldn't depend solely on my career for my sense of self. So I developed other interests and surrounded myself with a small group of friends I could trust. Douglas Wood It's a sense in Minnesota that we need to get back to common sense. We need to get back to taking sensible looks at positions and understanding the proper role of government. Pete Hegseth Perhaps where text slides toward ambiguity, film inclines to specificity. A novel contains as many versions of itself as it has readers, whereas a film's final cut vaporizes every other way it might have been made. David Mitchell I do regret, as I described in my book, the time that I shaved off half of my eyebrows thinking that I could draw them i...

made. He said, well, 'I haven't communicated enough.' He said his job is to 'tell a story to the American people' - as if that's the whole problem here? He needs to talk more, and we need to be better listeners? Paul Ryan We also have to make sure our children know the history of women. Tell them the rotten truth: It wasn't always possible for women to become doctors or managers or insurance people. Let them be armed with a true picture of the way we want it to be. Anne Roiphe For me, seeing the target and not seeing the target doesn't make any difference. Im Dong-Hyun I've always felt like I can dance. Miles Teller Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence. Louis Pasteur Please remember, no matter what you go through in life, somebody else might have it harder. Jessica Simpson I want films to haunt an audience, to g...

forced me to do all this weird stuff on the guitar was I couldn't afford effects pedals, I didn't have all this stuff when I was a kid so I just tried to squeeze all the weird noises I could out of the guitar, which brings me to building guitars. Eddie Van Halen There's some things I can't write about, just terrible personal tragedies. Harry Connick, Jr. Having seen a non-market economy, I suddenly understood much better what I liked about a market economy. Esther Dyson You have to be hopeful that people will be more educated in how they buy things, and hopefully more luxury brands will start to think that way on a longer-term basis. Stella McCartney Change is the only constant. Hanging on is the only sin. Denise McCluggage The food in Sydney is an Asian Pacific cuisine. It's eclectic but above all it's fresh, inventive and creative and that's what I love about it. Baz Luhrmann I think that anytime you get clear about what your mission is o...

to take the life you had with those directors, or the crew - the camera person, the lighting person. When you finish a film it's like a little death. You had a family for a bit, and you finish the movie and you probably will never see each other again. Jean Reno I think it's tragic that we have this human capacity, which appears to be hardwired, or so the evolutionary biologists say, for collective joy. We have these techniques for generating it that go back thousands of years, and yet we tend not to use this. Barbara Ehrenreich My emotional investment is in finding truth. If string theory is wrong, I'd like to have known that yesterday. But if we can show it today or tomorrow, fantastic. Brian Greene What was taken by force, can only be restored by force. Gamal Abdel Nasser The best way to listen to the album is to put it on, get some Moet, lay back with your boys, and kick it. Ice T Waters are distilled out of Herbs, Flowers, Fruits, and Roots. Nicholas Cu...

else without it. It is not exhausted by childhood, but finds its key there. It is a journey like a walk through the woods over the usual obstacles and around the common distractions while the voice of direction leads, saying, 'This is the way, walk ye in it.' Ravi Zacharias My idea of education is to unsettle the minds of the young and inflame their intellects. Robert M. Hutchins How can you look at the Texas legislature and still believe in intelligent design? Kinky Friedman I was only in LA for two weeks when I got that job. And I didn't work again for two years. Nicole Sullivan Traditionally, sport has looked down at number crunchers, but the reality is that they give sport the financial sustenance it needs. Harsha Bhogle Money may kindle, but it cannot by itself, and for very long, burn. Igor Stravinsky It felt as if things were literally slipping through my fingers. Things were just streaming away from me. I lost my sense of humor. I'm still looki...

restrain my thoughts nor guard my lips: nevertheless it is to Thee, O God of majesty and love, that I turn in my extremity, for Thou art the fount of mercy; to Thee, as quickly as I may, I speed: for Thou alone canst heal me; I take refuge under Thy protection. Saint Ambrose It certainly made a film writing career for me. Buck Henry The Australian Book of Etiquette is a very slim volume. Paul Theroux A flow of words is a sure sign of duplicity. Honore de Balzac Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement. W. Clement Stone I think high self-esteem is overrated. A little low self-esteem is actually quite good. Maybe you're not the best, so you should work a little harder. Jay Leno In the world of energy politics, the sudden vanishing of the word 'coal' is a remarkable and unprecedented event. Jeff Goodell It's nice to work with Hollywood because there is never any question of resources put at your disposal to make a film as long a...

really scary about breast cancer, way beyond the thought of dying, was coming across an ad in the newspaper for pink breast cancer teddy bears. I am not that afraid of dying, but I am terrified of dying with a pink teddy bear under my arm. Barbara Ehrenreich Well, I think every now and again, some people deserve to get their butts chewed. Every now and again some people deserve a pat on the back. What I try and do is compliment folk who deserve a compliment, and chew folks out who deserve to be chewed out. Judge Mills Lane That's also why comedy and horror are my two favorite genres of film to write, because you get these outbursts of emotion from people, laughter and shock, and it's really thrilling, and I like to be thrilled. Diablo Cody A writer should get as much education as possible, but just going to school is not enough; if it were, all owners of doctorates would be inspired writers. Gwendolyn Brooks I feel I'm doing God's work switching people from ...

It's part of the conversation in their barbershops, in the grocery stores. It's what everyone is aware of and familiar with. They take a lot of pride in the beating you can take in the course of that sport. Junior Seau What I don't like are pompous, pretentious movies. Peter Jackson I think I was born strong-willed. That's not the kind of thing you can learn. The advantage is, you stick to what you believe in and rarely get pushed out of what you want to do. Joan Jett I wanted to make pictures where you would not know who took them. I also bring the present into the past. Julian Schnabel I have no plans to run for president. Jim DeMint All I want to do is write songs about funny characters I made up. Wes Borland My best kiss was on stage. Kelly Rowland from Destiny's Child gave me a really nice soft kiss on my lips during a performance on my birthday. It was amazing. Chris Brown I'd sing with Roberta Flack in a taxi if you called up and said...

for other people. That feeling hasn't changed, but my sets are always evolving. In terms of tailoring to a specific crowd, certainly I do play differently depending on the situation. It's a different feel, for example, in a small club versus a festival. Tiesto What a world we live in. I want to be incredibly close to the heart of it all. To live honestly, truthfully and to be completely present is the ultimate enterprise. Dianna Agron I don't want to hear again from the attorney general or anyone on this floor that this government has shown it can be trusted to use the power we give it with restraint and care. Russ Feingold Piano should be the one. Yeah, because that's your basis. Everything is right there in front of you. Billy Eckstine Nations have their ego, just like individuals. James Joyce I'm not posh or common, I'm in between. Martin Freeman I get lonely when I'm a Playstation widow. Ashley Judd I like to think of myself as an eq...

or 'Avatar' are made. And technology on the other side, the audience side. Word spreads so fast now on a movie, with the Internet, and piracy is something coming down the line like in the music industry. Richard D. Zanuck Hurricane Katrina exposed the harsh reality that we have been skating on thin ice when it comes to this country's energy concentrations on the Gulf Coast. Pete Domenici If you have any power at all from being popular, then you have a duty to help people out. Arabella Weir Real success is not on the stage, but off the stage as a human being, and how you get along with your fellow man. Sammy Davis, Jr. Statistically, the probability of any one of us being here is so small that you'd think the mere fact of existing would keep us all in a contented dazzlement of surprise. Lewis Thomas People recognize actors that they see regularly, like people they see on the television every week. Ben Barnes If there's some work to be done that seem...

they will invent. I've heard that I'm of Jewish descent, but I found, I knew of my ancestors in Zagorje from around 350 years ago, and I said, maybe it would be good to have some of that, I guess I would be richer, I might not have become a Communist. Franjo Tudjman Everything I do as a mother builds on a foundation of love and compassion. Amy Chua Fiction has consisted either of placing imaginary characters in a true story, which is the Iliad, or of presenting the story of an individual as having a general historical value, which is the Odyssey. Raymond Queneau The only ones I trust really are my Mum and Dad and those who are closest to me. Katie Price I can be a horrible actor, but I make a move that makes a money I'm secured a job. Alex Meraz I didn't see Dr. No for a year, but I liked it when I saw it. It was a fun movie. I don't like the Bond movies now. I hate special effects. Ursula Andress Boy bands should be exploded from a great height. T...

because I think you do take on the characteristics of some of the characters you play. Sometimes it can be a great thing and sometimes it's a bit haunting because you're not quite sure how to leave it on set. My dad talks about it as being 'de-personalised.' Ben Barnes Lighter computers and lighter sensors would let you have more function in a given weight, which is very important if you are launching things into space, and you have to pay by the pound to put things there. Ralph Merkle No, I'm not feminist. I'm not, not a feminist. Lily Rabe I've started getting into quite a bit of voice work, definitely from 'Battlestar.' Tricia Helfer I grew up 60 minutes way from Richmond, in Charlottesville, Virginia and, as a child, I was obsessed with the Civil War. I used to do re-enactments and all that stuff. Billy Campbell We had times in '66 and '67 when we would pick up a platoon of privates out of the receiving barracks the week be...

thoughts and stuff, and they talk about slippery places, slippery people and slippery things, you know, I need to - I needed to take my cell phone and eliminate all the phone numbers, change the phone numbers so no one I knew before could call me or reach me. Daniel Baldwin In a society that celebrates the inessential, architecture can put up a resistance, counteract the waste of forms and meanings and speak its own language. Peter Zumthor I'm very good at being out of work. Kevin Whately When we change the way that we pray, everything changes. Mark Batterson Such is the nature of comic strips. Once established, their half-life is usually more than nuclear waste. Typically, the end result is lazy, rich cartoonists. Berkeley Breathed The innovation is going to come, and that is good for everybody. Hilary Rosen Things are the way they are because they were the way they were. Fred Hoyle When there is state there can be no freedom, but when there is freedom there w...

we'd call it a soup. You can make it as thick or thin as you like depending on how much water you add. It's very practical in summer because yogurt cools the body faster than water, but the water hydrates you. Elizabeth Kostova I'm essentially a momma's boy with a good education. Tom Sizemore Nothing ever quite dies, it just comes back in a different form. Lester Bangs Gen. Tommy Franks told me the war was being compromised as specialized personnel and equipment were being shifted from Afghanistan to prepare for the war in Iraq - a war more than a year away. Bob Graham I was commanding officer of a supersonic fighter squadron, F-8 Crusaders. James Stockdale Unfortunately, there are no mulligans when it comes to pro football contracts. Jay Mohr I think there's few cases in history where the C.E.O. steps down and is also the founder and reports to someone and that works. Evan Williams My partner has to have good sized bones. Macklemore To make ...

that we committed to in the election but importantly if there is additional projects or new things that come up they have to have a business case, they have to work and they can't impose financial stress on families and private individuals and businesses. Campbell Newman The dean of the American Film Institute has written that I'm one of the very few auteurs in America. I've had freedom for 40 years to create art that is totally personal and is what I believe in. Lloyd Kaufman I get embarrassed listening to my last CDs. I've got a lot of work to do, let's put it that way. Bjork The only other thing which I think is important is: Don't write a book or start a book with the expectation of communicating a message in a very important way. Norton Juster Some things are difficult to adapt to. Ahmet Davutoglu I've been really, really blessed. I got to perform on stage with Bob Dylan. I've gotten to sing with Mick Jagger. Sheryl Crow I was wron...

a serious issue here in the country before the Affordable Care Act. And, in fact, the expense of expanding health care for those who need the subsidy is picked up by the federal government for most of the early years. Deval Patrick My middle name is Marshall. A lot of people think it's a stage name, but it's not. Trevor St. John I couldn't kill a chicken, I couldn't kill a cow - I was a vegetarian too at that time - so I thought, well what is there that I could kill? I couldn't kill this and I couldn't kill that. Ellen Burstyn To have no time for philosophy is to be a true philosopher. Blaise Pascal It is one thing to show a man that he is in an error, and another to put him in possession of the truth. John Locke There's something very romantic about self-destruction and sabotaging your life, and taking a hammer to it. Gerard Way Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories. Sun Tzu I grew up taking it for gran...

we all had nights when we 'died' on stage - but today's youngsters simply don't have that experience. For them, it really is instant make or break time - hence, all the tears and, hence, all the potential emotional damage. Bruce Forsyth The Sun in London ran a front page declaring my bum a national treasure. I really did laugh at that. Its not like it can actually do anything, except wiggle. Kylie Minogue I think with anybody who's doing well in the public eye or whatever, there's always gonna be a shift because people don't wanna see somebody happy all the time. And they're gonna try to take shots at people. Britney Spears There's the historical part of The Beach Boys' music; it's pretty incredible, pretty vast and pretty varied too. Mike Love I've never particularly liked bankers. Jonathan Safran Foer While I've spent a lot of quality time with my children, perhaps it's not been enough. Jesse Jackson What's...

more overtly, a political - price. At what price are they willing to go back on years of proclaiming 'socialized medicine' as the slippery slope to 'rationing of health care,' 'death panels' and other claims far too gruesome to mention in polite company? Ronnie Musgrove We need to remain a nation that doesn't just welcome but that celebrates legal immigrants who come here seeking to pursue the American Dream. Ted Cruz Most critical writing is drivel and half of it is dishonest. It is a short cut to oblivion, anyway. Thinking in terms of ideas destroys the power to think in terms of emotions and sensations. Raymond Chandler Writers who have nothing to say always strain for metaphors to say it in. Florence King People need revelation, and then they need resolution. Damian Lewis The last day of your life is still going to be a day. Abel Ferrara If you let society and your peers define who you are, you're the less for it. Hugh Hefner I...

during moments when they are drawn to it, perhaps during a worship service or while reading a novel like 'Adam.' Being drawn to this truth is the first step to living a life in accordance to this truth. Ted Dekker I can fall asleep anywhere. Rashida Jones When I wrote Living in the Light, I wanted to share about how I live my own life and to encourage people to tap into their own inner wisdom. Shakti Gawain And what is liberty, whose very name makes the heart beat faster and shakes the world? Is it not the union of all liberties - liberty of conscience, of education, of association, of the press, of travel, or labor, or trade? Frederic Bastiat Sometimes life's so much cooler when you just don't know any better and all the painful lessons have not hammered your head open yet. Anthony Kiedis First of all, we have to go back to the classical time control. Anatoly Karpov I think when there's enough will and aggression, there's no shortage of talent...

is when you're sitting at the computer and it's kind of intense and you're kind of in super control of it - the walks are when you let go. That's when the really big breakthroughs come in, and it's very strange. Maria Semple One of my favorite things about 'Spring Awakening' is that it is enjoyable and important for both kids and adults to see. Lea Michele I don't like it to be compared to 'Survivor.' The idea of 'Survivor' is to kill each other off to win the prize. There's no killing in Gilligan's Island. Sherwood Schwartz We throw all our attention on the utterly idle question whether A has done as well as B, when the only question is whether A has done as well as he could. William Graham Sumner I go to London, my favourite city in the world, and I feel at home. Boris Becker The fact is that all of us have only one personality, and we wring it out like a dishtowel. You are what you are. S. J. Perelman And it...

can really be fun when it's working.' But it's a grind. I did that at NBC, it was five days a week. I was doing 'Talk Soup' and 'Later' at the same time. It's a hard job, more difficult than people realize. Greg Kinnear If you have things and if you are a perfectionist, which I am, you have to really tend to them, and it takes energy away from other things. Nicolas Berggruen I want to direct. It's something that I know I'll be really good at. Gedde Watanabe Koons's work has always stood apart for its one-at-a-time perfection, epic theatricality, a corrupted, almost sick drive for purification, and an obsession with traditional artistic values. Jerry Saltz I'm going to skate exactly the way I want to, create programs that I like, and everything will fall into place where it is supposed to. Johnny Weir The more we can get together and talk about various perspectives, feelings, beliefs, the better. William P. Leahy I'm ...

become symbolic of a community eschewed and a hyper-engagement with oneself. They represent the profound danger of growing so independent in New York that it's not merely that you don't need anyone - it's that you don't know how to need anyone. Sloane Crosley I love a man who loves his mama, which is one of the many reasons I'm crazy about Justin Timberlake. Gayle King From compassion springs humility. The ego is verily a gateway to hell. The person who is egoistic is far from being religious. Dada Vaswani It's a treat to portray a complex character. Besides... where else could I find a job where emotional outbursts and odd exclamations like 'Egad!', 'Narf!', 'Poit!', 'Splonk!' and 'Zort!' are allowed? Rob Paulsen I love everything, but I really love rock music. Incubus, Augustana, Nirvana, Chevelle, iHi-Hi-Fi, they're my really good friends. Audrina Patridge I feel I am a little bit older. Reckon I will...
