of paper, just with a little one-line. And then I can scan it a bit and go, 'This first third of the film, generally, I'm kind of calm.' Then I might do something on one piece of paper that just relates to the energy of the character. Guy Pearce I would love a bowl of Frosties, but I start the day with something healthier like a bowl of yoghurt or berries. Rachel Stevens I'm not really into weight training. Yunjin Kim What if it's boring - or if it's not boring, it might be too revealing, or worse, it might be too revealing and still be boring. Lily Tomlin I think it's great for the women to show that they are women and be feminine. And that's something that I've always promoted. Lisa Leslie I resist when someone calls me a novelist: it implies some kind of inherent superiority of the novel. I'm not a novelist, I'm a writer. Aleksandar Hemon The day I became press secretary to the President of the United States, I was in an ...

people when they are under pressure. The English tradition is to get a grip, whereas the American version is to get in touch with your feelings, to say: 'I'm a good person. Isn't it terrible when bad things happen to people like me?' Peter York Can a woman become a genius of the first class? Nobody can know unless women in general shall have equal opportunity with men in education, in vocational choice, and in social welcome of their best intellectual work for a number of generations. Anna Garlin Spencer I'm not pessimistic about people in general, but only about the way they live. Claude Chabrol I mean, they censor your work when they're scared of it. Kathy Acker I'm always looking for something. Not in an unhappy way. I just like to try different things. I don't want to be morbid, but I'm not getting any younger. Paul Weller I'm not overly greedy. Slash The pay of many of our top executives in big hundred companies in the U.K....

lobbying in the Senate. So they'll pick the phone up and they'll call their buddy, the senator, their old buddies, and they'll say, 'Listen, I'm here at this law firm now. I can't lobby you, but my new partner, Jack, can lobby you.' Jack Abramoff Basically, my problem was attributed to stress more than anything. I don't know what that does and I guess doctors can tell you that there's chemicals that build up in your system when you go through a lot of stress and constant stress. Mike Ditka In England, you're allowed to have an opinion - as long as it comes out of your mouth. Jamie Oliver Feel good about linking hands in human chain for good causes. Russell Baker I never thought I'd be a role model but I think to some people I am or have been.

hands; people are editing it, they're cutting it, marketing it. And it's... part your career sort of rides on that. But when you're actually filming it's a team thing and it really feels good there for me. Hugh Jackman I've always wanted to be a songwriter and a storyteller and somebody who conveys a feeling to the listener or the viewer. Wes Borland I try to be as fearless as possible. I don't always succeed, but I like to think I try. Zachary Quinto The brain is not a bag of traits. It's startlingly complex. There are few or no single genes with a consistent effect on the mind. Steven Pinker I'm just living my life. Curtis Joseph If Congress doesn't raise taxes, you cannot get a private investment account without forgoing a portion, possibly all, of your guaranteed benefit check. Grace Napolitano People, unprotected by their roles, become isolated in beauty and intellect and illness and confusion. Richard Avedon Sexual dreams a...

great companies to try their hand at a start-up. I believe that some of this stems from the desire to strike it big like Mark Zuckerberg, but I also believe it is because starting a company has become far cooler than working in one. Maynard Webb At work people are expected to be at the beck and call of employers all the time. You have blackberries and other things, and they just don't leave you alone. People have less time just to drop into an art gallery. Jeremy Paxman What the left says sounds very good but, in practice, it works out very badly. David Horowitz People on the streets are ready for hockey. Eric Lindros Performing is a profound experience, at least for me. James Taylor I suddenly think the job of acting is a difficult one. It's not as flip, irrelevant and shallow a calling as I thought it was in the Eighties. Rowan Atkinson To me there is no picture so beautiful as smiling, bright-eyed, happy children; no music so sweet as their clear and ringin...

displaced without upscaled replacement jobs. Retrain, rehire into higher paying and value-added jobs? That may be the political myth of the modern era. There aren't enough of those jobs. Bill Gross E.Biscom is an Internet company that is diversified, not a diversified company that is trying out the Internet. Silvio Scaglia Whenever there is a catastrophe, some religious people inevitably ask, 'Why didn't God do something? Where was God when all those people died?' Tony Campolo When you write on your own, you can write the extremes. No one else is watching and you can really go as far as you need to. Kiran Desai There have been many times when we have not run stories because we cannot get it verified. Mary Hart It isn't reasonable to expect that everyone in the world is a country music fan. Not yet, anyway. Charley Pride Americans who grew up in the 1930s or 1940s still have some fleeting memory of what the country was like before it became the ster...

depend on what happens when someone says, 'action,' so that they can literally be swimming in the warm water, and at some point the race begins, and at some point the race ends, but it is about being free to swim. Cameron Crowe People buy products if they're better. James Dyson I had then and still retain an interest in science for its own sake and as a metaphor for our current lives. Peter Hammill I can't live without my smartphone, but I really geek on coding. It's not so much technology that I like, but puzzle solving. Sylvia Day Good directors say, Here's where the play is. They stand by the heart of the matter. Some of them stand beside it. Sam Waterston If I had a nickel for every time I said 'Why me?' I'd have probably said 'Why me?' more often. Tom Wilson I grew up in a courtroom kind of like the one you saw in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' - big, big courtroom, sometimes it didn't even have air conditioning. ...

of the absurd. It doesn't only cast Israel as the villain; it often casts real villains in leading roles: Gadhafi's Libya chaired the UN Commission on Human Rights; Saddam's Iraq headed the UN Committee on Disarmament. Benjamin Netanyahu Nah, I've always had a great relationship with my two brothers, I have always had their support in my football and in everything. They've been very close to me and we have a great relationship. Lionel Messi A lot of scientists on Earth think of things that they could do in zero g. Things like the way metals cure, for example, and the way fluids react in space can tell us a lot about some of the unknowns we have on Earth. Kevin A. Ford I've talked to some drummers who seem to have a very hard time staying in shape on the road, including some drummers touring with high-profile acts that don't have to live on fast food every night. Matt Cameron Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassin...

of right and wrong. Anything hazy or gray confuses him. For instance, if I try to get him to see that a friend behaved badly, he'll often get upset with me because a friend is a 'good guy' by definition, in his book. Claire Scovell LaZebnik Every man sees in his relatives, and especially in his cousins, a series of grotesque caricatures of himself. H. L. Mencken I grew up being into sports and I wasn't trained to move my body in the right way for dancing. I'm the last one to get any moves correct. In rehearsals it's always, 'OK, one more take for Zac.' Zac Efron I interviewed Ann Coulter when I was sitting in for Larry King a couple of times, and we have a rapport. I like to talk to her. Joy Behar I love Jimmy Fallon; he's always a great time. Andy Cohen I believe in America. America's made my fortune. Mario Puzo I always think that I've embarrassed myself. Christina Ricci Today, unless women gain jobs and athletic schola...

being made on what helps politicians, not what helps the economy. Some will call it socialism. Some will call it a command and control economy. Whatever it is, it's antithetical to the American experience. Jeb Hensarling I wish we would all remember that being American is not just about the freedom we have; it is about those who gave it to us. Mike Huckabee It's quite different, the kind of love you get in a smaller club and the kind of love you get on a big proscenium stage. It's quite different. I like both of them, but I'm in love with the smaller, intimate club. Nickolas Ashford You have more independent eyes scrutinizing the decision-making and financial statements of companies. Steve Odland If you only design menus that are essentially junk or fast food, the whole infrastructure supports junk.

Bharati Mukherjee Romantic love is painful. will.i.am Morality is the weakness of the brain. Arthur Rimbaud Don't stare into a mirror when you are trying to solve a problem.

knew something was wrong because I couldn't see or understand the words the way the other kids did. I wasn't the least bit bothered - until I was sent back to the second-grade classroom for reading help after school. Barbara Corcoran My most radical shift was leaving Intel and joining Google, a small startup at the time, even though I was pregnant. Susan Wojcicki There is simply no plausible construction of the known evidence that leaves out Novak either providing a proffer through his lawyer of what he would say if he testified or having testified directly. Michael Isikoff I ran track in high school. I was a fragile young man, personally and physically. I tried football. That didn't work out; I broke my collarbone. But I always loved running. Danny Pudi For me the greatest beauty always lies in the greatest clarity. Gotthold Ephraim Lessing Women are more emotional, and it's natural to talk about it. Jenny Eclair I support making sure that there are l...

have hair and makeup people coming to my house every day and putting me in new, uncomfortable, weird dresses and expensive shoes, and I just shut down and raise my arms up for them to get the dress on, and pout my lips when they need to put the lipstick on.' Jennifer Lawrence I often feel, and ever more deeply I realize, that fate and character are the same conception. Novalis Nowadays, everybody assumes, when they wake up in the morning, if they have a question, it will get answered. Because they have the internet. No matter what the question is, someone will answer their question. Jack White I work just as hard and have just as much fun whether in a 50-seat house or in a 1000-seat house. It's a luxury to be in a tiny space every once in a while and a rush to be on a giant stage every once in a while. Laurie Metcalf The few bad poems which occasionally are created during abstinence are of no great interest. Wilhelm Reich What we're doing is fun - if you have...

the course, both in terms of denying Moscow the military hegemony it sought in Western Europe and of restoring the will, cohesiveness, and security of the NATO alliance, so badly frayed during the turbulent 1970s. Frank Gaffney Never esteem men on account of their riches or their station. Respect goodness, find it where you may. William Cobbett It's incorrect to assume you can be a fashion editor because you blog, if you don't have experience to look at fashion in a professional way.

Bubba Sparxxx Sam Wood, the director, made most of his money as a real estate agent; there was nothing of the temperamental artist about him. Gloria Swanson There's something uniquely aggravating about the smugness of liberal Hollywood. Matt Stone Gossip is the Devil's rad...

you see all the drug busts and the killings and the seamier side of life. I personally take the view that it's not sufficient to portray only negative role models. It's not enough to say 'no' to drugs. What do you say 'yes' to? Sherwood Schwartz I've been a free man. V. S. Naipaul I don't blame my own parents for the way I grew up, as quite often there is little choice in these issues. Peter Garrett I find the lure of the unknown irresistible. Sylvia Earle Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it. Hermann Hesse My greatest inspiration is memory. Paul Theroux It's not that I'm not willing to compromise. But I won't compromise on principles. Ann Marie Buerkle It is nice finding that place where you can just go and relax. Moises Arias Nobody believes this, but I write very fast. Robert Caro One of the firs...

one book and then not get as much for the next one. I don't worry about that because I try to worry about the one single part of the job I can control: the writing of the book. If I do that well, I feel, good tidings generally will follow and readers will stick with me. Jeff Abbott Entrepreneurs almost always have to step out of existing institutions that embody old ways of doing things to build their vision. Bill Drayton Where I once believed people were there to be used, I started thinking of other people first. Josh McDowell I'd like to tour, but again, to tour my music now would take a bigger band. Kip Winger Everybody, no matter how old you are, is around 24, 25 in their heart. Bruce Willis Everywhere I go, somebody is staring at me, I don't know if people are staring because they recognize me or because they think I'm a weirdo. Leonardo DiCaprio Set your compass to beauty, humor, and grief; stay the course no matter what, and I'll support you...

in Europe - harsher still.

Frances O'Grady Committing unnecessary surgeries is very, very rare. And it's very wrong. H. G. Bissinger The demand for certainty is one which is natural to man, but is nevertheless an intellectual vice. Bertrand Russell I don't want to portray myself as a daredevil. I'm not at all.

Wilt Chamberlain People on both sides of any conflict believe they are right, whether it's on a TV show or in the real ...

I was not offered a Division I scholarship. I remember a scout from Ohio State coming in and looking at my film. He was all excited to meet me. Then he met me and I was 5'10" and he said that I was not a Division I quarterback. Doug Flutie He had a way with him. Before you had a chance to say no, he was there and done. That only happened to me once before, with a duke, who literally swept me off my feet, and before I knew what was happening, we'd done it. Another terrible mistake. Christine Keeler I sing a mixture of everything from opera, folk music, Broadway. It's a mix of things. Katherine Jenkins I'm a big toy collector. I've been slowing down because my money's been tight, but I collect toys, too. Jason Mewes We never broke up.

Hampshire, I was obsessed with Leonardo DiCaprio - from the 'Growing Pains'/'What's Eating Gilbert Grape' era, because he was superhot - and I carried a laminated photo of him in my wallet and said he was my boyfriend. But no one believed me. Eliza Coupe If you don't understand the details of your business you are going to fail. Jeff Bezos When the three branches of government have failed to represent the citizenry and the mass of the media has failed to represent the citizenry, then the citizenry better represent the citizenry. David Mamet Let's hope I never end up on a deserted island, because I could never make a decision on which three CDs to take with me. Willem Dafoe PlayStation 3 is another form of meditation.

Ben Affleck Kids are the audience I...

the right morals and attitude into how to become a better footballer. Australia has many different cultures but I'd like to bring in the indigenous style, bring their competitiveness, athleticism and raw ability into the frame. Timothy F. Cahill Doing stunt work is risky, but it's something I enjoy. Verne Troyer Also, when you think about a show that you used to watch as a kid or as a teenager, you look at it through sort of rose colored glasses when you remember it.

Williams and Neil Simon. I was in 'Sisters Rosensweig,' 'Six Degrees of Separation,' all of that stuff. So we're very familiar with America. I did 400 performances of 'Born Yesterday.' I did 700 performances of 'They're Playing Our Song.' Jacki Weaver To be able to pretend to be something that I'm frankly not is very liberating and exciting. Hugh Laurie So long as these kinds of inequalities persist, all of us who are given expensive educations have to live with the knowledge that our victories are contaminated because the game has been rigged to our advantage. Jonathan Kozol After I changed the string we picked up right where we left off - and punched back in at the same time. I don't know if this has ever been done before. The engineer sort of looked at us weird, but we got it on the first take. Stevie Ray Vaughan I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after. Erne...

I loved losing myself in colourful and dramatic stories - and my absolute favourite was 'Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.' Everything about it electrified me, and when I re-read Roald Dahl's books as an adult it surprised me. David Walliams Nevertheless, I don't hesitate to say that elections in Germany are decided in the center, not on the fringes and not in the accumulation of minority interests. Peer Steinbruck It's been quite a 'pattern interrupt', a massive change of the old programming. Kenny Loggins As a child, I always liked dressing up and getting into character, and actors are lucky in being able to retain that playfulness, though we do seem to find it hard to grow up. Felicity Jones The vanity of teaching doth oft tempt a man to forget that he is a blockhead. George Savile If truth is the first victim of war, then read on - I've got some great lies for you this month. Alan Gorrie I love drawings, so I've always enjoyed ...

Brooke Shields They said just keep doing my thing, don't try to change anything, which I won't. Paul McDonald TCP works very hard to get the data delivered in order without errors and does retransmissions and recoveries and all that kind of stuff which is exactly what you want in a file transfer because so you don't want any errors in your file. Jon Postel I learn every day what it means to love myself, and I'm constantly figuring out what makes me feel empowered. Hayley Williams I'm the tomboy so I got to be a little butch. Laura Prepon The fir...

Even in junior high. I used to only like punk for a while, and I had all these rules for what kinds of groups were cool, and who was not cool, but as soon as I saw this one Prince video... It just broke all those rules. I was like, 'I love this no matter what.' Fred Armisen I like to work and it kind of keeps me in line, which is very good because I need that structure. Pamela Anderson I know of only one duty, and that is to love. Albert Camus When you lock a movie's release date and then move it two months, it's just not good. It's good for everything but the cast, crew, and people who are creatively trying to make a film. Rob Zombie Feeding my children is not like feeding myself: it matters more. Jonathan Safran Foer This is the kind of discovery that resonates. Saul Perlmutter This motion-picture muddle had distracted me from my writing. Zane Grey There was no indication of panic. The broken files marched back in steady step. The effort was n...

go to sleep, make a pie, draw, listen to music, meditate, exercise; whatever you do, don't just stick there scowling at the problem. But don't make telephone calls or go to a party; if you do, other people's words will pour in where your lost words should be. Hilary Mantel It's getting harder and harder to differentiate between schizophrenics and people talking on a cell phone.

Walter Dean Myers I am not a politician and I have no intention of being one. Sean Connery I guess my enthusiasm kind of rubs off on people.

Mohsin Hamid A peace that depends on fear is nothing but a suppressed war. Henry Van Dyke I have short hands. That's why I h...

But where did it all suddenly become about our own economic and political destiny being surrendered to Brussels with agendas that arguably have very little to do with the interests of the British people and British voters? Lloyd Dorfman There's a special gut-check moment the first time you write a scene in which somebody casts a spell. Lev Grossman Hollywood is a sewer with service from the Ritz Carlton. Wilson Mizner Some critics of my work took the view that a satirist should defer to the finer feelings of his readers and respect widely held beliefs. David Low Every time I go to a movie, it's magic, no matter what the movie's about. Steven Spielberg I think we fall in love and become adults and become citizens in a way by writing stories about ourselves. Mary Karr I didn't want to start relying on what someone else thought was right. It was easier to go away all together. Kim Novak A good farmer is nothing more nor less than a handy man with a sen...

front of you that they're going to replace in post-production, it's a lot different than seeing this animatronic shark that, if you get caught up in the moment, looks, acts and you sometimes think could be real. Chris Zylka I think I have a great deal of self-hatred, a profound feeling of fraudulence, of being detestable and evil. It's only a part of me, but it's there, and it's active. Tony Kushner If you think about making a difference in the community, my family has always had a strong interest in the arts. I'm always interested in finding ways to innovate... It's a blend; it's not a point focus. Paul Allen But these guys learn so fast now, they sort of soak up the information, they're fearless. Those are the guys who learn from their mistakes and come back strong the next time. John McEnroe I'm feeling pretty fortunate. I've been having lots of lovely auditions and meetings, so I'm savoring the moment. Lauren Miller In ...

by. It's a pathway to renegade, independent reporting in an in-depth, investigative fashion, and it can do so with a compassionate lens; it allows people to speak in a way that is more human than the mainstream media approach. Josh Fox I like to keep my wheels on the ground. Marianne Vos We define ourselves, in part, by the discriminations we make. The value of what we love is enriched by our understanding of what we dislike. David Ansen And everything stopped quite rapidly because I knew that nobody in Europe was able to go to space. It was the privilege of being either American or Russian. Philippe Perrin Is the cinema more important than life? Francois Truffaut To be nominated was enough, but when I won I the Tony I just felt relief. Patti LuPone I don't want to deal with big, grand themes in my stories; art has nothing to do with themes.

Today, this spirit of solidarity must and will empower all of us to rebuild Haiti. Jean-Bertrand Aristide I love the business of business; I love the risk raking. Felix Dennis Back in the old days, we were often compared to Led Zeppelin. If we did something with harmony, it was the Beach Hoys. Something heavy was Led Zeppelin.

You're at Grandma's house, you eat what Grandma serves you. Anthony Bourdain Something magical happened when I turned 25 - I looked in the mirror and was like, 'You might not get carded for an R-rated movie anymore.'

A by-product of that strategy is that we invented an advertising business which has provided great economics that allows us to build the servers, hire the employees, create value. Eric Schmidt We have to be realistic about what the state can afford, and put an end to abuses of the system that cost millions. Jerry Brown I'm just a tough old woman.

Boris Johnson Seal Team Six is a different unit than the rest of the SEAL teams inasmuch as they concentrate primarily on one thing, counter-terrorism, hostage rescue. Howard E. Wasdin I don't really follow fashion exactly, but I've always been very interested in the way that you present yourself as an expression of yourself, so that's my idea of fashion and style from a personal point of view.

Fidel Castro I think people should give in to what they feel like doing at the ...

me, it appeals to me. And it doesn't have to be anything - it doesn't have to be the main character, it doesn't have to be a huge part. It could be a nice cameo - anything that I think is good and surrounded by good, enthusiastic people. Alison Doody What first caught my eye about Rihanna was an interview she did with Diane Sawyer after the Chris Brown incident, where she was very articulate, very poised, obviously a smart girl who talked about a very traumatic experience. Peter Berg For me, there is nothing more valuable than how people feel in a movie theater about a movie. Will Smith I had a quick ear and could pick up languages. Diane Cilento I never was a popular kid in class. Nathan Myhrvold I've had a blessed career, and that has been acknowledged in many ways over the years.

Jersey Zoo. He had a job collecting animals for zoos and for a long time that is what I wanted to do. Later when I was a teenager I had a fantastic English teacher called Mrs. Stafford. Her enthusiasm made me decide to be a writer. Melvin Burgess President Obama could keep a big map with push pins on it to keep track of how many countries hate us, and when we get down to only half, let's have a ball. I'll blow up the balloons myself. Paula Poundstone I liked the idea of having actual magic performed as stage magic, so you could assume that it was just a trick, that something is all smoke and mirrors, but there's that, like, feeling at the back of your mind: What if it's not? Erin Morgenstern Why do I find the fantasy - husband, family, kids - exhausting instead of alluring? Is there something wrong with me? Do I have a life? Caroline Knapp My own basketball background was ripping up my ACL in a lawyer's league. David Stern My parents were quite libera...

life when I know where I am and what's coming next. The other Robert Powell is probably fairly melancholic. Let's just say happiness isn't my default position. There are dark parts.

Pierre Corneille Since my Japanese isn't very good, I had to have an interpreter to communicate with most of the crew. John Foster I don't live through my kids. But I do know what will happen in life, and I just want them well prepared. Vera Wang The difference between chirping out of turn and a faux pas depends on what kind of a bar you're in.

Walter Isaacson As players, we always have a wa...

was the narrative I was carrying around. I worked in a neuroscience lab as an undergraduate and then after, almost five years in total, but I realized I just wasn't good at science. I didn't have the discipline for it. Jonah Lehrer When shopping was still connected to the street it was also an intensification and articulation of the street. Now it has become utterly independent - contained, controlled, surveyed. Rem Koolhaas It may be very generous in one person to offer what it would be ungenerous in another to accept. Samuel Richardson I don't like attacking. Barbara Bush I have a tendency to be awfully big-hearted and it's very hard for me to say no, even when I need to. Dolly Parton In 1941 I finished at Allison Intermediate School (grades 7-9), and started at North High School, commuting by bicycle about 5 miles from home to school. Vernon L. Smith The personal things should be left out of, in my opinion, out of platforms and conventions. Barbara...

at college is simply writing down all expenditures and seeing where the money goes. That alone will cause heads of households to think twice about x, y or z expenditure, and to consider carefully whether they really need something or not. Mark Skousen My Longhorns are registered and I am a member of the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association. Janine Turner I don't have a television, and I'm just not too up on television. Wallace Shawn Buddha, much like everyone else has good and bad days. Todd Barry When you love a problem, its contours, obstacles and resistances are all just part of its character. Steven Strogatz I was a metalhead and then I was into the rap and then I was a metalhead again. Jason Mewes Everybody's life has some mythical quality. You struggle against obstacles, you fight to get to a higher level and there are great loves. Dolph Lundgren My mum says, 'Go with your first instinct,' but this can lead to impulse buying! Lindsay Lohan...

Iraq, before Afghanistan kicked off, you'd get only these public-school-type army officers talking about what was going on out there. I kept thinking, 'Why don't we get the true voice of the squaddie? Why don't we hear from the lads on the battlefield?' Ross Kemp I've got rock 'n' roll in my blood. William Shatner The cost of pension reforms has been perhaps the biggest error committed in the process of modernizing Bolivia's economy. Carlos Mesa My decision to be a scientist was a bit of a drift really, more or less by default. Richard Dawkins I'm not a good crime writer. I'm not good with plots... so I have to do something else. Karin Fossum There is much more to being a patriot and a citizen than reciting the pledge or raising a flag. Jesse Ventura It's very easy to live here. You're anonymous here. Nobody knows who you are. Walter Matthau As an impoverished student I used to spend days out in Selfridges, nibbli...

that you would spend for a two hour movie, you're inventing a world, you're inventing characters. If they're interesting enough, they should be compelling enough to go for five more episodes. How incredibly frustrating would it be to just do one movie? Melissa Rosenberg Also, it was a cultural moment that wasn't being represented in terms of women who were successful and had choices they didn't have before. They needed a show that they can watch that they felt like represented them. Kristin Davis As an actor, my background is in the theater and I feel that my strong suit is period work, but I actually didn't do much of it at all, until the last three or four years. I'm loving it! Colm Meaney More and more, job listings are exclusively available online and as technology evolves nearly every occupation now requires a basic level of digital literacy with web navigation, email access and participation in social media. Michael K. Powell It's not j...

kept flubbing. There were so many tempo changes. I could never get through the opening number without any mistakes. One day, I went up to Hal Prince and offered to leave the show. He laughed it off. He said, 'Don't be silly. That's why we have tryouts.' Mako Southern California, they have been amazing. They're totally with us. Chita Rivera I grew up with the one of the most famous fathers in the world in the 1960s and '70s. He passed away in 1984, and as time went on, people didn't know him. That blew me away. Kate Burton I used to be scared of women. When I was very young they terrified me, but discovering the female universe was incredible and still is to this day, as you never stop learning about them. Antonio Banderas Every cent we earn from Crocodile Hunter goes straight back into conservation. Every single cent. Steve Irwin It rolls off my back. Ridicule doesn't mean anything - even from people you're supposed to wear knee pads a...

make-up and leaves my face feeling really smooth and clean. Then I apply Avon Anew Rejuvenate Day Revitalising Cream and Creme de la Mer Eye Concentrate. I think eye cream is so important - it keeps me looking young and prevents wrinkles. Fergie I come from an ordinary family - my dad is a carpenter, a roof-maker - and we've always loved racing together. Sebastian Vettel There was a time when the FCC tried to require a certain amount of television and media to be educational, a certain amount to be newsworthy and a certain amount of it to be public access. Montel Williams In LA, where I live, it's all about perfectionism. Beauty is now defined by your bones sticking out of your decolletage. For that to be the standard is really perilous for women. Alanis Morissette I love Madrid. I am happy to be here. I have been here three years and hope to be here longer. But I am proud of where I come from and never forget the people I grew up with. Zinedine Zidane London has...

traffic, users, brand, adoption, and advertisers. We also know Google News, for example, which we don't monetize, has had a tremendous impact on searches and on query quality. We know those people search more. Because we've measured it. Eric Schmidt Being a new character is like going to a new school. You have to try to maintain your own autonomy and your own personality. Mia Maestro If you're convinced that you face bad options, then by all means take the least bad. Michael Ledeen Forty freaked me out. I didn't see it coming. My life was in a state of chaos - I was moving jobs and moving house - and it just hit me like a ton of bricks. Graham Norton I feel very lucky because of my parents and then my education, the opportunities that I've had, so I would like to continue working to improve lives for others. Hillary Clinton I don't think anyone can speculate what will happen with respect to oil prices and gas prices because they are set on the glo...

in a magazine article about my style. I don't like dressing up in something I'm not necessarily comfortable in just to make it more of a show. I want the power to come from what I sing about and how I sing. Ellie Goulding Love songs are one of the great essences of life, the only thing that's lasting. George Benson I've become fascinated by the idea that it's really achievable to make two or three small improvements in a week and by the end of the year, it's 150 improvements. Darrell Hammond Whoever has played tennis knows the court is pretty big and you always have space to put the ball in. Tomas Berdych I am very grateful to make my living doing what I would do for free. Judd Nelson You can think you've made it and yet the next day's press will always be waiting for you, the public will always ask more of you. In short, you can always do better! Giorgio Armani Weight isn't a factor in nutritional health. Melissa Etheridge There...

the record labels and the industry doesn't mean to put pressure on you, but they do. They don't realize that they are, but you end up having a pressure there that you feel. At times I feel myself wanting to say, 'Just let me do what I do.' Ashton Shepherd Motley Crue, collectively and individually, have done things on our own terms. Nikki Sixx I like to think that I'm trying to choose love over most things, but that's my choice. Seal Younger hackers are hard to classify. They're probably just as diverse as the old hackers are. We're all over the map. Larry Wall The democratic process is only as great as the people who participate in it. Jeff Miller In all highly civilised communities Pretence is prominent, and sooner or later invades the regions of Literature. James Payn I'm a lot more self-confident than I used to be. To some extent I owe that to my children and my husband. Claudia Schiffer You have to have the right mind-set. ...

I thought of 'The Joker' as a name, and as soon as I thought that, I associate it with the playing card, as my family had a tradition of champion playing; my brother was a contract champion bridge player. There were always cards around the house. Jerry Robinson Likewise, free trade does not, as evidenced in CAFTA, mean fair trade. Stephen F. Lynch I need my friends, I need my house, I need my garden. Miranda Richardson When it comes down to it, it's about who you know, and who's a fan. It's about whether you're the right age, whether you're hot or not, whether the studio is into you or not. Marlee Matlin Sometimes I think of life as a process where everybody is discouraging and taking everybody else down a peg or two. Brenda Ueland I was determined to share my positive approach and not let diabetes stand in the way of enjoying my life. Paula Deen The rewards of freedom are always sweet, but its demands are stern, for at its heart is the par...

place to invest, but that is because the entrenched interests make it a terrible place to invest. The way you invest in those sectors is you go against the entrenched interests; you try and disrupt the entrenched interests, not to service them. Fred Wilson When primitive law has once been embodied in a Code, there is an end to what may be called its spontaneous development. Henry James Sumner Maine No matter how old you are, there's always something good to look forward to. Lynn Johnston I will not give up to sing until the people say it's enough. I hope it will be very late. Julio Iglesias I can't count how many of my friends are in the cemetery at Normandy, the heroes are still there, the real heroes. Charles Durning I'm happy because I won't have to train again, or travel or sit in team hotels. Romario I try and eat really healthy when I'm home, but I certainly don't eat worms and snakes. Bear Grylls Brazil, I'm totally obsessed. ...

out, because it's horrid. But it's a really good outline for 'Breaking Dawn' - it's very similar. I knew what I was doing, which is good, because I think if I hadn't, there might have been a lot of pressure. Stephenie Meyer I believe God did intend, in giving us intelligence, to give us the opportunity to investigate and appreciate the wonders of His creation. He is not threatened by our scientific adventures. Francis Collins If they respect the craft and what we're doing and they bring something to the table and they work hard, I don't care what you do as your side job or as your day job. Anthony Anderson I've got big feet, so filling someone else's big shoes doesn't scare me. Caroline Rhea You set the tone on the set that you want to see in the film. Todd Phillips I am too pure for you or anyone. Sylvia Plath My boyfriend thinks it's crazy that I wear a different bikini every day on holiday. Tamara Ecclestone I'...

call him badly dressed, old, archaic and say he knew nothing about the economy... until the day he was elected. It's called universal suffrage. When you're elected, you become the person that embodies France. Francois Hollande No amount of source-level verification or scrutiny will protect you from using untrusted code. Ken Thompson The power of the computer is starting to spread. Bill Budge I'm not complaining about doing 20-hour days. It's a joy to be able to work on yet another film. Jean-Claude Van Damme The future comes quickly. Before you know it, you turn around and it's tomorrow. Pia Zadora America has to be not just an idea but a living, breathing thing. will.i.am We do do such a variety, especially if you consider all five records. Josh Silver I didn't mind being in school. But I was usually uninspired and always late. I did what I had to, but not more. Robyn I guess I'm quite used to not being understood rather than being u...

risk from the firm to the client in case the work takes longer than expected. But from a client's perspective, it doesn't work so well. It gives lawyers an incentive to overstaff and to overresearch cases. Robert Pozen Momentum? Momentum is the next day's starting pitcher. Earl Weaver The greatest danger of bombs is in the explosion of stupidity that they provoke. Octave Mirbeau Yes, I always played the bad woman. I actually did. Barbara Billingsley I tell you, in my opinion, the cornerstone of democracy is free press - that's the cornerstone. Milos Forman You need a particular talent only to want to please. I don't have this talent. Eric Cantona Calcutta is like another world. People there are very special and grateful. Penelope Cruz I'm very much a creature of habit. Eminem My kids are so much better parent than I was. Dick Van Dyke If NASCAR racing gets any more exciting, I may not be able to stand it. Roger Staubach

interested in 'Durham County.' It blew my mind when I came to Canada and no one asked me about the show. So many people didn't even know about it. They didn't even know it was on the air! It's very curious to me. Michelle Forbes I started singing when I was five. I grew up the youngest of four kids who all studied classical piano, so you could say I've been listening to music ever since the moment of conception. K. D. Lang Today, lawyers are attacking more; they're attacking everything. A good example is the O.J. Simpson case. Joseph Wambaugh There has been one defining production for me in each decade. Stephen Daldry I think the media has changed, not just in England but in the world. Sienna Miller Nothing succeeds like address. Fran Lebowitz I shop only at thrift stores and vintage stores. In New York, I like a place called Star Struck, and a place called The Family Jewels. Ezra Miller Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes. Maggi...

age 12. First, build a good foundation and a positive attitude about reading by letting them pick the stories they enjoy. Make friends with a bookseller or librarian. They are a wealth of information on finding books that kids enjoy. Rick Riordan You look like gold. I've been fooled before, but now I know I've made the mistake in the past. But now I, now I know the difference from gold and brass. Ben Harper Things come to you in life when you're prepared for them, when you're ready for them. Martha Plimpton Ripley is married. And he's not lost. He has his feet on the ground. Patricia Highsmith Poverty is the frontier we have to be able to cross. Ricardo Lagos Today the theory of evolution is about as much open to doubt as the theory that the earth goes round the sun. Richard Dawkins To generalize on women is dangerous. To specialize on them is infinitely worse. Rudolph Valentino It is enough for me to pick up but a straw from the ground for the ...

enjoy the normalcies of life. I'm not out there trying to transform things, but somehow, by being easy to talk to, and easy to look at, and on a mainstream TV show, I think that I'm helping the public's opinions about transgendered people to change, slowly. Candis Cayne Cancer victimhood contains a permanent temptation to be self-centred and even solipsistic. Christopher Hitchens We have this idea of perfection that is so unrealistic. We are our own worst enemy. No one is noticing that little scar. Emmanuelle Chriqui I'm a reporter; you can't subpoena people to talk to you. If you write to them and try to call them on the phone and they don't answer or so forth, then take them unawares. Mike Wallace Peter has the biggest mouth, so it goes to be a mouth contest. Josh Silver When we consistently suppress and distrust our intuitive knowingness, looking instead for authority, validation, and approval from others, we give our personal power away. Shak...

that Sens. Lieberman and Collins have now proposed, and indeed I will co-sponsor that legislation. It is time for this discriminatory policy to end, and I am willing to pursue any effective legislative path that could lead to that result. Carl Levin The smallest flower is a thought, a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole, of whom they have a persistent intuition. Honore de Balzac Toronto Film Festival is one of those festivals where there are 400 movies, and unless you have a distributor who is super confident and puts a lot of money into it, sometimes movies can go unwatched or unnoticed. Viggo Mortensen I get tired of negativity in our country. I get tired of people who only want to know dirt. I get tired of people who don't believe in themselves. Richard Simmons When I was playing football, I always felt in complete control. When I play golf and come under pressure, it's a completely different ball game. Alan Hansen Big players want to play in fro...

time for me to forget how much I didn't like frat parties, and my friends would eventually convince me to go to one. Cheap beer, guys looking for a quick hook-up, and girls playing 'dumb' to get in on the hook-up. I just never got into it. Danica McKellar Taking a child to the toy store is the nearest thing to a death wish parents can have. Fred G. Gosman My singing is really important to me, but when children come along they'll be my main focus. I'd never put my career in front of my babies - it'd be a case of fitting jobs around them. Katy Perry I'll pat myself on the back and admit I have talent. Beyond that, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Ethel Merman The old approach of sacrificing the needs of one group to benefit another just won't work. Michael K. Simpson I'm always so sick of myself after a show. Marlene Dumas If it hadn't been for the rise of the working woman's wardrobe, I never would ...

that there was so much damage still left. I felt like here I was an American and this is an American city and the government hasn't done enough and people haven't given back enough. Everyone forgot and the city was lying in waste. AnnaLynne McCord Whatever has happened in my quest for innovation has been part of my quest for immaculate reality. George Lucas I tend to place my own value in spirituality rather than religiosity. Kitty Kelley Writing a novel is not merely going on a shopping expedition across the border to an unreal land: it is hours and years spent in the factories, the streets, the cathedrals of the imagination. Janet Frame I couldn't help feeling people thought I was a moron, and my self-imposed insecurity constantly bedeviled me. Nicholas Brendon Look, don't congratulate us when we buy a company, congratulate us when we sell it. Because any fool can overpay and buy a company, as long as money will last to buy it. Henry Kravis But if in...

lot of people don't. But criticism doesn't require reporting. You can write criticism at home in your underwear. On the other hand, journalism takes legwork - you have to get out there and see things and talk to people. Michael Azerrad There are more important things in life than winning or losing a game. Lionel Messi When I went to Hong Kong, I knew at once I wanted to write a story set there. Paul Theroux I think if I try to develop a formula, it ends up not working. Chris Daughtry I'm constantly feeding my metabolism. But at the same time if I want to go one night and have a nice dinner then I won't sweat it the next day. Cara Castronuova It's very complicated because I cannot wear the same thing too often. Julie London Each one of my movies becomes easier to get off the ground. Alexander Payne The Lord has never spoken to me, but I feel Chick-fil-A has been His gift. Dan T. Cathy I'm disappointed that success hasn't been a Himalay...

way, investing millions in everything from high-capacity batteries to machines that can scrub carbon dioxide out of the air. With a personal fortune of $50 billion, Gates has the resources to give his favorite solutions a major boost. Jeff Goodell I think New York will always be this incredible international crossroads, and I don't think that will ever change. Liev Schreiber Black beans and soy beans are the cornerstones of longevity diets around the world. Dan Buettner The muse of music isn't just from Greek mythology, but living in people like the Beatles, Chuck Berry, Anita Baker, Aretha Franklin. Ernie Isley Organisms don't think of CO2 as a poison. Plants and organisms that make shells, coral, think of it as a building block. Janine Benyus I studied acting for 10 years before I went for an audition. I studied with Lee Strasberg and Actors Studio teachers, and went to the High School of Performing Arts. Ellen Barkin My only day off is the day I pitch. ...

certainly affects our lives in so many ways. I would say that certainly the stories of the day appear in the work - I just have never gone so far as to say, well, this particular event could influence a plot of an entire book. Michael Koryta Permanent success cannot be achieved except by incessant intellectual labour, always inspired by the ideal. Sarah Bernhardt Trust yourself so that the mistakes you make are the ones you've made and not something you've made because you were afraid to do what you wanted to do. Own your mistakes, then you can own your successes. Jennifer Lynch Humans have always used our intelligence and creativity to improve our existence. After all, we invented the wheel, discovered how to make fire, invented the printing press and found a vaccine for polio. Naveen Jain To all those who have drawn the inference from my words that Africa, as a continent, is somehow genetically inferior, I can only apologise unreservedly. James D. Watson If you...

blame to go around. The question is how to solve problems. It's not bailouts. What made America great? Free markets, free enterprise, manufacturing, job creation. That's how we're gonna do it, not by enlarging government. Scott Brown The ego is a fascinating monster. Alanis Morissette When we were trying to get the money for Driving Miss Daisy, everyone kept saying no one could direct it well enough to entertain an audience for 100 minutes essentially watching three people chatting in the kitchen. Bruce Beresford I never liked the idea of giving interviews. One says many things, but when they are published, they become shortened, condensed. The ideas lose their meaning. Raul Castro Normally I don't feel like having a belly full of pasta. Elizabeth Olsen A man's indebtedness is not virtue; his repayment is. Virtue begins when he dedicates himself actively to the job of gratitude. Ruth Benedict The concept of power we admire is power over someone els...

that all of these folks go home every weekend. They used to play golf together; their families got to know each other, go to dinner at each other's homes at weekends - and these would be people who were political adversaries. Robert M. Gates I guess I was a mom so late in life, my daughter was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Candice Bergen I don't have any tattoos - I live vicariously through my sister, Langley, who has many. If I can't stick to one ensemble, I don't think I could stick to one tattoo. Dree Hemingway One is that the perfect garden can be created overnight, which it can't. Ken Thompson I came out of independent film, that's my roots. Nicolas Cage When I write I try as far as possible to forget I'm writing it at all. I tell it down onto the page, as if I'm telling it to one person only, my best friend. Michael Morpurgo Yes, I did lock myself in my room for about two years and write some songs and things like that. B...

don't think you can aspire to it, nor can I. Everybody is retouched, stretched, lengthened, slimmed and trimmed. I could look at a picture of myself from the past and think, 'Why don't I look like that now?' It's because I never have! Kate Beckinsale By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out. Richard Dawkins Ballroom is two people dancing together to music, touching in perfect harmony. Anton du Beke I grew up in an apolitical household. I never left the country. When I became an adult, I started traveling and became interested in politics, and I probably talked about things in a silly, ignorant way. Jesse Eisenberg I think the gay community, just like anybody, should be represented in all forms and all types. Cameron Monaghan The reader has to be creative when he's reading. He has to try to make the thing alive. A good reader has to do a certain amount of work when he is reading. Nathalie Sarraute Th...

follow suit on at least one of the other members of the dwindling club of sovereign AAAs. If this were to materialise and involve a country like France, for example, it could complicate the already fragile efforts by Europe to rescue countries in its periphery. Mohamed El-Erian Teams are often pretty clear about what they can do or are willing to do. Derek Fisher I've been around the surf culture since I was a kid. I grew up in a beach town in Rhode Island. Then eventually I lived in Dana Point, Calif., a real surf hotbed. Don Winslow No man can lose what he never had. Izaak Walton If you look at all the pictures of women in magazines, everybody's got a forehead that looks like a billboard. Completely blank. Amy Heckerling I could never even entertain the notion that it's an option, to not be an artist. Dustin Yellin People in Seville are very happy, the lifestyle here is very relaxed, you can walk everywhere; it's very easy. Paz Vega I would love t...

only frees us from slavery to sin, but also secures for us the true liberty of the children of God, in order that we might do all things out of love rather than out of fear - love for him that has shown us such grace that no greater can be found. Peter Abelard I think it is probably more important to attend specialized conventions for a journeyman writer than any other, but it's useful at all stages of a career, if for nothing else, to find out how the industry is working at any given time. Chelsea Quinn Yarbro I probably lived more of a rock-star life when I was 15. I got in trouble a fair amount. I cared more about hanging out and skipping school than studying. Kristen Wiig How many times have you been on the freeway and had someone fly by you at 100 mph then end up two cars ahead of you at the off ramp? What's the point? Mark Harmon Part of becoming a little bit older and having the opportunities that I have, you want to start giving back to people who have been ...

lost two of my patients to suicide at a time when the virus was doing very little harm to them. I have always thought of them as having been killed by a metaphor, by the burden of secrecy and shame associated with the disease. Abraham Verghese Virtue herself is her own fairest reward. Silius Italicus You know, independent films have been institutionalized, practically. Every studio has got a boutique arthouse label. Edward Norton People often ask where I get my inspiration from, and I always say I have no good answer because, well, inspiration comes from everywhere: people, places, memories. Richelle Mead No one would argue against the fact that L.A. leads the country in opportunities for being hip and pretentious. Merrill Markoe Living inside the shuttle was a little like camping out. We ended up sleeping in our seats. You had to pay attention to housekeeping, not get things too dirty. Robert Crippen I try to only eat animals that are vegan. I'm probably the oppo...

Women's Leaders Network, and the Joyce Banda Foundation. Under the foundation, we have a huge program that targets women to teach them about HIV and other diseases and to give them economic empowerment. Joyce Banda Our culture does not teach us this, but what happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas. If you cheat in Vegas, it comes right home with you. If you cheat in Vegas, you walk home as a cheater. You lie awake at a night a cheater. You cannot escape it. Tom Shadyac We have been in Victoria for 3 years now after moving here from Vancouver. Victoria is a great place to live and we plan on staying especially as the kids are now in school. Jonathan Brown I didn't tell anybody about my plan because I was convinced my family or friends would stop me. I didn't think much about what would happen afterwards. Mathias Rust In each colony in 1750 were to be found two sets of governing organizations, - the local and the general. Albert Bushnell Hart I'm a guy who...

agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals, though, even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance. The incense is powerful and provocative, whether Buddhist or Catholic. David Bowie But there's actually a lot of punk bands out there that go out of the norm, use odd time signatures, or a lot of different tempo changes in a song. Travis Barker At an early age, I started my own paper route. Once I saw how you could service people and do a good job and get paid for it, I just wanted to be the best I could be in whatever I did. Sean Combs I think you have to learn for yourself how to write. I'm slightly mystified by creative writing courses - God love them - because I can't understand how you can explain a process that I find so baffling. Kate Atkinson There came a time when I felt I was not going to be satisfied with life unless I could write. James Salter I don't think the public is dying to see me necessarily...

their ads were Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, John Edwards, and me. They said I was more liberal than these guys, and that if I went to Washington I'd be supporting their agenda. I found that extremely difficult to overcome. Brad Carson I just play the guitar and write songs. John Denver Let lying dogs sleep is something I always say in reference to the Smiths. Morrissey I always hated jazz guitar. I loved jazz saxophone but I hated jazz guitar. If I would buy an organ trio record I would make sure I'd buy one that did not have a guitar player on it. The sound was awful! Tom Verlaine Suspense is very important. Even though this is humor and they're short stories, that theory of building suspense is still there. Sergio Aragones I don't like tofu. I'd sooner eat a sponge. Sylvia Browne That's the show. it's like 5 minutes of science and then 10 minutes of me hurting myself. Adam Savage I'm kind of a big kettle. It takes time to get boile...

their follower count increase and mistake that for friendships. It's great to have followers, especially if you want to sell albums, promote shows, or promote your friends, but you still need to get outside and talk to other human beings. Patton Oswalt I think there is a longing in everyone for a personal relationship with God. Martha McSally I'm just taking it one day at a time. Actually, that's a total lie. I always think about what's in front of me. Julianne Hough The opportunities which the present position open up for a lasting and radical solution of the most vexing problem of the Jewish state are so far-reaching as to take one's breath away. Moshe Sharett It's gonna be a lot of zeroes in that contract. You gonna think it's alphabet soup or something, all those zeroes in there. Deion Sanders Dependency is death to initiative, to risk-taking and opportunity. It's time to stop the spread of government dependency and fight it like the p...
