are waiting for peace of mind. The hurricane exposed the sad reality of poverty in America. We saw, in all its horrific detail, the vulnerabilities of living in inadequate housing and the heartbreak of losing one's home. Harry Connick, Jr. I've been homeschooling for eight years and have always received the best advice and encouragement from other homeschoolers, rather than a book or lecture. Lisa Whelchel I've slipped on occasion into the realm of irresponsible invective, but I try to avoid it and generally recant when I fall short. Because name-calling does nothing to improve understanding or move the political debate forward. Mark McKinnon When a woman earns a dollar, the payback is higher. She'll invest in her children, in their education, health care, and basic needs. The impact of a woman's role in the economy benefits society at large. Andrea Jung Shiloh is a wonderfully dramatic battle. The leader of one side is killed, and the other one is going

between successful people and unsuccessful people is the successful people do all the things the unsuccessful people don't want to do. When 10 doors are slammed in your face, go to door number 11 enthusiastically, with a smile on your face. John Paul DeJoria I'm always nervous before starting a record because I can never sleep. I'm like, 'I have no good ideas, everyone is gonna see through me.' Mark Ronson I think you can have a whole terrific, smart career as a second and third banana and work more and have much less risk than the lead guy. But I like being the lead guy. James Brolin I really didn't want to leave the show, but I got a chance to do a movie, which meant I would have had to miss two shows, and at the time Lorne had a policy where you can't miss shows, so I left. Jon Lovitz If you're going to write about someone's life, you don't just use them for wallpaper. You have to honor and respect that life. Nick Flynn But Glad

that you're ever going to have is your imagination because you're not going to have all life experiences. So you draw on things that are sort of close to it but you spend your time expanding on it or drawing something specific on whatever your situation is. Vince Vaughn A bully is playing a game, one that he or she enjoys and needs. You're welcome to play this game if it makes you happy, but for most people, it will make you miserable. Seth Godin My dad played rugby, so I used to watch a lot of rugby union and rugby league. Ryan Giggs The best thing you can learn from the worst times of your life is that it always gets better. It may take a month, a year, a decade, but it will get better if you leave yourself open to it. Janis Ian I was born with an ability to concentrate very hard on a job for a long time. Lord Mountbatten Some girls love to go to the airport and have 50 paparazzi on them. I go to the airport and have a mental breakdown. Megan Fox No one

self-conscious when my family are in the audience. I'm doing this job which is not quite acting - part of it is me, part performance. You're presenting a cartoon of yourself to people who know you as a line-drawing. Dylan Moran My mom is the backbone not just of my family but of many families. Shia LaBeouf We could raise prodigious cities and create nations, and explore the universe. Jose Clemente Orozco Only the freedom of mind can prevent the state from becoming totalitarian and from issuing totalitarian demands. Friedrich Durrenmatt As writers, we don't just need to write about poverty or war or the immigrant experience. Jennifer Gilmore We must resist the temptation of once again turning America into the traditional bogeyman of the left. Giorgio Napolitano The only prejudice I've found anywhere in TV is in some advertising agencies, and there isn't so much prejudice as just fear. Nat King Cole Enough people have now mentioned Bill Nye the Sc

somebody says: 'You were voted the world's sexiest man,' I have no idea what that means. How do I respond? 'Thank you' is the best you can do. George Clooney is the world's sexiest man, anyway. Daniel Craig And $18 million in three Japanese banks, completely false. That I have two factories in Panama, also completely false. This is part of the counter campaign of some people. Alberto Fujimori Tax policy is not about compassion. Michael Steele 'Swan Lake' is the most difficult thing to portray for a female ballet dancer; it really requires such specific qualities of articulation, agility, strength, and the arm work is something that takes a lot of training. Benjamin Millepied People are always surprised when they spend time with my children by how normal they are. They're polite. They're well mannered. They're very down to earth, in a way. Donatella Versace Journalism has a special, hallowed place for stories of its practitioner

It happened to the music industry and now it's happening to the film studios. It's crazy what's going on. But artists should have control of their work; especially if, as I always say, you never turn down a good idea and never take a bad idea. David Lynch Our souls need time to think, dream, and reflect. Jo Ann Davis Art and nature shall always be wrestling until they eventually conquer one another so that the victory is the same stroke and line: that which is conquered, conquers at the same time. Maria Sibylla Merian I hope we'll be able to solve these problems before we leave. Paul Erdos There was no language barrier when it came to kids, and when it came to play. Connie Sellecca You've got to understand when a collaborator isn't satisfied anymore. Martin Scorsese I always did think that when I turned 40, I'd start coming into my own. Adam Baldwin As soon as you think you can do whatever you want and you have whatever great professiona

older than me, and the other was the same age, and neither worked out. I know people still think of me as one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends, and he of course was much older than me, but that was a whole different lifestyle and a different kind of dating. Holly Madison With 'New Rose Hotel,' I knew that I was getting paid a $100,000 fee to write, produce, and direct, and that's all I was going to get. Abel Ferrara Bourgeois society is not fundamentally opposed to the bourgeois women's movement, which is proven by the fact that in various states reforms of private and public laws concerning women have been initiated. Clara Zetkin Tell me why the limousine fleet has increased by 42 percent since Barack Obama took office. Why are we spending taxpayers' money on that? Limos should be for weddings and proms, certainly not for government officials to be riding around in. Mark Neumann The key is having great players. But there are a lot of teams that have All

in many ways - tells us that suffering is wrong. If it's our own suffering, we try to hide it or isolate ourselves. If others are suffering, we're taught to put them away somewhere so we don't have to see it. Sharon Salzberg It's not something that's at the forefront of my mind, but I think I'd regret it if I didn't have children. Brendan Coyle Littera scripta manet - 'The written word will remain'. That's true, but it won't be that much comfort to me. Christopher Hitchens And in fact, I think one of the best guides to telling you who you are, and I think children use it all the time for this purpose, is fantasy. Peter Shaffer They had to match blood type and meet all sorts of things I don't know about. Shelley Fabares Two young doctors - one from Harvard and the other from Dartmouth - invited me to go to Mecca in my husband's stead. And that is what helped put me back on track. Betty Shabazz Most managers were train

it. It's about a flawed character and his pursuit of that grand idea that defines him and validates his life and how far he'll go to get it, and the repercussions that come as a result of that - what he gives up in the process. Trent Reznor I love movin'. I was observant growing up, watching Michael Jackson and John Travolta. I'd close my eyes, see the moves. Jon Heder Having George W. Bush giving a lecture on business ethics is like having a leper give you a facial, it just doesn't work! Robin Williams In the wintertime, in the snow country, citrus fruit was so rare, and if you got one, it was better than ambrosia. James Earl Jones 'The Road' was a movie that has a good reputation, even though it wasn't released very well, but that's a movie I'm very proud of. Viggo Mortensen We don't take a macro view... We'd look at every company to figure out if trade sanctions are helpful or hurtful. Robert Pozen Ali's belief in

of people, those things are in alignment. For transgender people, they're mismatched. That's all it is. It's not complicated, it's not a neurosis. It's a mix-up. It's a birth defect, like a cleft palate. Chaz Bono Defensive backs are the best players on the field. But when you get an exceptional player like a Deion Sanders or a Darrell Green - these guys are fast and they have very good technique. You have to work a little harder. Jerry Rice Well, actually, I did start out in comedies. Very, very early. Ivan Reitman I don't worry about a number. I'm fine with aging. Naomi Campbell If we still advise we shall never do. Elizabeth I If you try to bring 'teen drama,' you end up doing nothing but pouting. Max Irons People fight, they get angry, they do drugs, and they do crazy things. Steven Adler Once you're able to look like an idiot and be OK with it, it opens up your potential. Nicole Sullivan I don't really have go

they could be fascist or Islamic. Now, the revolutions are called under the medium which is most used. You have Facebook revolutions, Twitter revolutions. The content doesn't matter anymore - the problem is the media. Ivan Krastev My dad's Israeli. He was born in Baghdad to Iraqi Jews. Then, at age two, his parents wanted to move to their homeland and he grew up in Israel. I've been there twice, once as a baby and once when I was 15. Elliott Yamin I've been delighted by Cannes and Toronto but I keep saying I don't know how good we're going to be received in America because that's where it's most challenging. William Hurt There's no hierarchy in suffering. I think songs that are transcendent are the ones where everyone can feel something from it, you know? Meshell Ndegeocello And I had an old-fashioned idea that dividends were a good thing. James MacArthur But like Mrs. Ford, I think that the more people realize what a difficult and wha

it's crazy, crazy, crazy. I'm never going to say I wouldn't do it again but I have to make sure it's love and not settling for the 'I have to do this by a certain age,' which is kind of what I did. Jenny McCarthy While I support immigration regulated through a legal framework, I do not support rewarding those who broke the law to get here. Kit Bond The worst hotels are any with a bad bed. I stayed in a hotel where they left cards telling me my enjoyment was of paramount importance. I should have written, 'Nice rooms, crap beds.' Amanda Donohoe The Nobel Prize is an honor unique in the world in having found its way into the hearts and minds of simple people everywhere. It casts a light of peace and reason upon us all; and for that I am especially grateful. George Wald According to Inuit culture in Greenland, a person possesses six or seven souls. The souls take the form of tiny people scattered throughout the body. Annie Dillard So I'm

be able to see and control information about them that they themselves have revealed to the companies is not baked into how the companies work. But it's bigger than privacy. Privacy is about what you're willing to reveal about yourself. Eli Pariser I've accomplished a lot, but I still have more dreams that I want to achieve. Joe Jonas I've appeared on some other people's albums. Gerry Mulligan I struggle with control. Kate Walsh Being around people like Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick and Roberta Flack, all these greats, I was taught to listen and observe. Whitney Houston I am against intervention by a foreign power against us. Moshe Sharett I left home when I turned 17 and ran away to New York. I did a lot of moving. I was based in New York and country-hopping, so I was always 'the new girl'. Sarah Roemer I don't really see huge barriers between any styles of music. Stefon Harris Oh, I don't talk about God.

to see how he's not even born yet, but he's already responding to the music. When I talk to him, he kicks as well. It's a very deep connection that I have with my son already and he's not even born. So I'm loving it. Jencarlos Canela No matter how old you get, if you can keep the desire to be creative, you're keeping the man-child alive. John Cassavetes I like to make great albums. Shelby Lynne Vancouver is one of my favorite places on earth. It's gray and rainy there a lot of the time, but for some reason, even though it's gray and rainy, I feel like it's a sunny day. Billy Campbell Jesus was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a governor. And perhaps they should understand the role of a community organizer is to help people in distress. Donna Brazile Anyone who tries to keep track of what is happening in China is going to end up by wearing all the skin of his left ear from twirling around on it. Robert Benchley I feel like a

But swimming the Channel? You can't really say anything negative about that, can you? There's nothing better than making your parents happy. The glee on my father's face that day was amazing. David Walliams There is an inevitable divergence between the world as it is and the world as men perceive it. J. William Fulbright I love the smell of juice boxes in the morning. Robert Duvall We must do all we can to empower parents and communities to protect our youth and to encourage healthy behavior free from binge drinking and other forms of alcohol abuse. Jon Corzine Pear Drops were exciting because they had a dangerous taste. All of us were warned against eating them, and the result was that we ate them more than ever. Roald Dahl Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart. Corrie Ten Boom Evil gains work their punishment. Sophocles Living substance conquers the frenzy of destruction only in the ecs

back, then if we can point to something and say, I would like to vote for more benefits for you, but this balanced budget amendment or statutory spending cap or whatever the device is, is preventing me from doing it. Jeff Flake You can work, shop, do everything from home, and I find this unsettling. Patrice Leconte Compassion is a call, a demand of nature, to relieve the unhappy as hunger is a natural call for food. Joseph Butler I mean, it's a bit of a double-edged sword being a celebrity and being an actor as I'm sure you know. Your public laundry is constantly aired out and I thought that maybe I could do some good. Daniel Baldwin You mustn't always believe what I say. Questions tempt you to tell lies, particularly when there is no answer. Pablo Picasso Nobody wants to shut down the government. Jeb Hensarling The only times an Afro-American who was assaulted got away has been when he had a gun and used it in self-defense. Ida B. Wells It was really h

many cooks in that kitchen. The studio, the producers, the network, all had very different visions of what that should be. They should have just let Laeta Kalogridis control that. Instead they decided to try to get their hands in the mix. Melissa Rosenberg This generation should entertain this generation. It's only fair. When I was a kid, I mowed the lawn. Now, somebody else's kid can mow the lawn. Tom T. Hall There is a romantic, often misguided, misconception among the British that life in France is akin to life in Paradise. Janine di Giovanni The Tonys are the once-a-year shot for all of these shows and artists who work so diligently every single performance but only for a thousand or so people at a time. This gives them the opportunity to perform to millions of people. Neil Patrick Harris I want to be like the athletes who seem stuck in time. When you see them at 50, you say they probably can still run like a champ. Tyra Banks Martyrdom was the price of enthu

laid out for me - from the little girl who was so passionate about animals who longed to go to Africa and whose family couldn't afford to put her through college. Everyone laughed at my dreams. I was supposed to be a secretary in Bournemouth. Jane Goodall Honestly, I think we should be delighted people still want to read, be it on a Kindle or a Nook or whatever the latest device is. J. K. Rowling I enjoyed sex and indulged in it when I fancied the men. Christine Keeler There is a deliberate and quite outspoken attack on the whole idea of people owning private property. Dixie Lee Ray I realized that social media can be powerful force for good in the world and that acts of kindness can be scaled globally. Amy Jo Martin Most Pixar films are better than most live action films. Wesley Morris Poetry says the things that I can't say. I read a lot, but I never write it. Trevor McDonald I'm not a particularly dark individual. I have my moments, it's true, bu

To me, it would be such an incredible challenge because of the way people carried themselves. There are so many incredible stories within those centuries - just the language and the way they carried themselves and what they were going through. Amy Smart Expect the best, Prepare for the worst. Muhammad Ali Jinnah We're made up of energy, so who's to say you can't transmit through electrical means? If you could transmit yourself wirelessly, then it's Armageddon pretty much. Ian Somerhalder I trip walking down the stairs, but I can skate them probably. Shaun White The familiar material objects may not be all that is real, but they are admirable examples. Willard Van Orman Quine I have all my life fought against prejudice, having been subjected to it myself. John Galliano We all have the duty to do good. Pope Francis When hospitality becomes an art it loses its very soul. Max Beerbohm A scene has to have a rhythm of its own, a structure of its own.

constraints and delicacy of Impressionism for good. Nineteen gnarly paintings, starting in 1909 and carrying through his final seventeen years, finish off the notion that Monet went happily ever after into lily-land. Jerry Saltz I noticed that no matter where I went in the country, there was this group of questions that got asked. I would track them and keep them in categories. Like body image, school, family, friendship, you name it, the emotional life of a teenage girl. Elizabeth Berkley I love running and I will always run. Haile Gebrselassie It was never about winning medals or being famous. Nancy Kerrigan We are not going to abandon Iraq. Zalmay Khalilzad It wasn't until Duotones that I felt my true voice come out. Kenny G I consider you as old as you look and feel. And in that case I feel - I feel I'm about 39, like Jack Benny. Joan Collins Different people work different ways. Tony Gilroy I'm not against half naked girls - not as often as I

Price. We forget how big Norman was, what a presence he was. I remember one of my first tournaments, Greg threw an orange peel down on the ground and some fan ran over and grabbed it. 'This is Greg Norman's orange peel!' Phil Mickelson I consider it top priority to improve water quality and increase water quantity in my community. Joe Baca All the things you can do to prepare for a role that free you, in the moment, are great. You have this muscle memory for things. You don't have to act it as much, once you've done it enough. Josh Peck I cannot imagine having a physical relationship with a woman. I have not done that. But I really love women. Catherine Deneuve I can never have a poker face. Anybody looking at me can tell exactly what I'm thinking. Gena Rowlands I have a lot of stuff I want to talk about and offer up. It would be odd not to have ideas about something. Ralph Fiennes Beyonce is one of my inspirations. Her attitude, her style, her

that began as a reaction against the government-approved Social Realist style. Zhang Xiaogang, Huang Yong Ping, Ai WeiWei, Yue Minjun, and Wang Guangyi were among the first group of artists to establish a movement that became known as Cynical Realism. Arne Glimcher Organisations are now confronted with two sources of change: the traditional type that is initiated and managed; and external changes over which no one has control. Margaret J. Wheatley To me, cricket is a simple game. Keep it simple and just go out and play. Shane Warne I also had Wonder Woman Underoos that I really liked. I actually wore them as an outfit to school. Jennifer Sky If you clean it up, get analytical, all the subtle joy and emotion you felt in the first place goes flying out the window. Andrew Wyeth I like to mumble when I act, 'cause I think it's more realistic. For some reason, the impediment has given me the accent of a Mexican gangster. David Arquette When you are tough on yoursel

with a limited budget and we really had to make our nice clothes last, and so now I'll get free pairs of shoes and this, that and the other and I'll be like, 'Oh great!'; even though it stresses me out that I don't have enough room to put them, I can't throw them away. Will Ferrell I cannot just write a frivolous book, a la-di-da book. Everything isn't la-di-da. There is something that's going to pull you up short. I want to reassure young readers. I want to comfort them, to not fear the unexpected. Sharon Creech I try to keep focused on the things that really make me happy and just do those same things. John Singleton Doing something you enjoy at times of your own choosing and making a living from it: now tell me, is that work? Tom Hodgkinson My kids are not that interested in my movie career, by the way. My son, in particular, never talks about it. He just wants me as his dad. Hugh Jackman Few professors would dare to publish research or

know to answer all the questions of the universe. Wouldn't that be freaky? Whereas the probability is high that there is a vast reality that we have no way to perceive, that's actually bearing down on us now and influencing everything. George Saunders The only way to do is just to go for it, otherwise it ends up looking phoney. Famke Janssen The other salient characteristic of the Declaration is its universality: it applies to all human beings without any discrimination whatever; it also applies to all territories, whatever their economic or political regime. Rene Cassin You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime. George Herman If you give me any problem in America I can trace it down to domestic violence. It is the cradle of most of the problems, economic, psychological, educational. Salma Hayek There's a lot of talk about the positive aspects of love. We as a soci

we like to feel like there is a group of people who are so smart and powerful that they can pull the wool over an entire country or in fact even an entire world's eyes. That certainly makes us feel like somehow we're protected, even if it's not in our best interest. Jason Ritter Video games offer violent messages, and even the sports video games include taunting and teasing. Geoffrey Canada Normal is fading away. Governments and industries and schools like normal, because it's easier, it scales and it's profitable. But people don't like it - we want to be who we are, not who some marketer tells us to be. Seth Godin A prisoner in the Inquisition is never allowed to see the face of his accuser, or of the witnesses against him, but every method is taken by threats and tortures, to oblige him to accuse himself, and by that means corroborate their evidence. John Foxe I write short, my words tight to the thread of the narrative. Carmen Laforet The big j

doing what I can to suppress it and I don't let it take advantage of me. It's not who I am. You know, I'm James Durbin. Like I said in the beginning, I am here to show America who I am, and it is what it is. James Durbin Because storytelling, and visual storytelling, was put in the hands of everybody, and we have all now become storytellers. LeVar Burton I've always been a rule-follower. Even when I was a kid, I tried to do everything by the book. Steven Curtis Chapman I contend that it's impossible to read the Sermon on the Mount and not come out against capital punishment. Tony Campolo The true reason of Ms. Rice's attack against Russia is very simple. Condoleezza Rice is a very cruel, offended woman who lacks men's attention. Vladimir Zhirinovsky As you may know, some of the stereotyped behaviors exhibited by autistic children are also found in zoo animals who are raised in a barren environment. Temple Grandin I love storytelling. Billi

all his allies, we passed some of the toughest Wall Street regulations in history, turning Wall Street back into the allocator of capital it always has been and no longer a casino. And they want to repeal it. Joe Biden In December 2011, I will be opening up my production house, Sharmeen Obaid Films, and aspire to change the way Pakistanis approach nonfiction storytelling. There are thousands of stories to be found here. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy All men want to be treated like kings in a relationship, and I think if women don't indulge that sometimes, their men are likely to stray and look for someone who can give that to them. Giada De Laurentiis The top players talk more now, and we have more meetings. We're just trying to get things better. But we still need somebody who could make a difference. Martina Hingis I'm not perfect. Brett Favre I was always artistic - right from childhood - but my love of painting came a bit later. It followed my love of music. Sea

East, it's like three times as much as all of that combined and that's just the easily, readily available 1800 billion barrels and there are probably 3 billion barrels that are commercially just under that, available. Chris Cannon Failure is nature's plan to prepare you for great responsibilities. Napoleon Hill Like all bands, the first two albums are always the ones most written about, and the most covered. When a band gets to their third of fourth album, the story of the band has already been told. Kelly Jones I am a little extrovert. Kushal Pal Singh I was a keen sportsman, and became school captain in soccer and cricket. John E. Walker Film has always been a really good tool for me to communicate emotion about why I create a collection. I'm probably one of the first designers to make short films. Ozwald Boateng I did theater for 15 years, and I spent a lot of time as an understudy. Elizabeth Mitchell Every song is different. Dimebag Darrell Y

Coltrane and Jimmy Heath just joined the band, and I brought my trumpet, and he was sitting at the piano downstairs waiting to join Dizzy's band. He had his saxophone across his lap, and he looked at me and he said, 'You want to play?' Donald Byrd Despite what the pundits want us to think, contested primaries aren't civil war, they are democracy at work, and that's beautiful. Sarah Palin People don't come to my concerts because they know the program. They come because they love the atmosphere and because they know that when I offer them a program it will be a night they never forget. Andre Rieu Being dubbed as a hunk sort of annoys me. It gives me a yucky feeling. Leonardo DiCaprio Trying to guess what the (mass) audience wants and then trying to satisfy that is usually a bad recipe for getting something good. Aaron Sorkin I've seen the ticket, and I still can't believe it. When I see the money, I hope I don't hit the floor. Judy Garl

dancing, as an art form, is really beautiful. It's been hyper-sexualized because it's associated with strippers, but if you think about it, just in terms of other kinds of dancing, they're using an instrument to create these amazing dance forms. Megalyn Echikunwoke We have boys now, and men, in the rock and roll business and all the show business, who have this reaction on women. They scream. They yell. They do all sorts of wild things. Minnie Pearl When I signed up for Google Plus, it recommended 500 people for me to invite. You know, and once I invited those 500 people I got another 500 people. So it has a huge install base that it can start from. Jennifer Lee We are more than the sum of our biochemical functions. Even the tiniest flea is an incredibly complex living creature, with mouth-parts adapted to feeding on the blood of your cat or dog. Robert Lanza I am always looking for a cool tee shirt; maybe one with a rock band or an old advertisement. Bridget H

and trying to have a good year. It would always 'lead' to something, which never leads to anything except death, where everything leads to. And then as I got older, and then I had my kids and everything, I began to appreciate a great Wednesday. Albert Brooks At PETA, we often say that the issue of how animals are treated isn't just about them; it's about us, how we behave. Ingrid Newkirk I think that for the next short period of time, our No. 1 priority is Congress needs to do its work and extend the payroll tax cut. Jacob Lew If it's cross-country ski season, I'll be out doing that, or snowshoeing up in Quebec. In my California home, I go to the local Y and I like doing yoga. It's been hugely beneficial to me in injury avoidance. Neil Peart I'm into the girls fancying me and stuff, mad for it. Liam Gallagher People don't get my sense of humour. Tamara Ecclestone If somebody takes the time, a: to read a book that I have written, and

totally happy doing as much voice work as I possibly can. Because it really is the best work. It's so amazing. You just show up. You don't have to look good. You don't even have to brush your hair. You work for a couple of hours, and you go home. Amber Nash I think it's interesting to me to talk to people who don't agree with me all the time. Joy Behar The pursuit of the vibrant seems to be the universal job description of the nation's city planners nowadays. It is also part of the Obama administration's economic recovery strategy for the nation. Thomas Frank Whenever I do something, it is rooted in the Indian opportunity. Vijay Mallya 'No' is the second shortest word in the English language, but one of the hardest to say. Raymond Arroyo I love taking an idea... to a prototype and then to a product that millions of people use. Susan Wojcicki I want everyone to look back and think that I was awesome. Andy Roddick Of course I get h

to cycling slowly, more fun than the fast, competitive commuter cycling I used to do. No longer do I jump lights or attempt that irritating wobbling thing that semi-professional cyclists like to indulge in. Tom Hodgkinson And whatever my weight, I've always been skinny from the waist up. Joely Richardson Some of us must wait for the best human gifts until we come to heavenly places. Our natural desire for musical utterance is perhaps a prophecy that in a perfect world we shall all know how to sing. Lucy Larcom I got to the point where I was sick of fashion again, like I was at the end of high school. Stephen Sprouse This is really a new NHL and it's built on speed and young guys. Mario Lemieux You got to be pretty thin to be in the movies, or it helps. I would actually love to do it. Gregg Allman Styrofoam and plastic milk jugs are biodegradable! Do you know what isn't biodegradable? Paper! Rush Limbaugh I really believe that a writer is someone who has

York, but I do feel responsibility to the city of New York, to this country, to people everywhere. So many people were affected by the events of September 11, and I feel this is one of the ways that that event will be understood and defined. Michael Arad I take it very seriously, music. I think it's one of the tools that a director has with which to kind of paint. The right music can sometimes do five pages of scripted dialogue. Todd Phillips You know, it was important for me to do something like that, because nobody ever really thought I could do anything except look sexy on a poster and go shopping. Pia Zadora Imperceptibly, the developed world's manufacturing base was gradually eroding and being replaced by securitized finance that destroyed itself and nearly its economies in 2008. Bill Gross I'm not a leading man. Aaron Paul Success is having to worry about every damn thing in the world, except money. Johnny Cash In France, that let down the barriers m

create, it certainly didn't have the intended effects that everybody was hoping for or that the president and administration certainly was hoping for. So I think it's time to lay some new solutions on the table, some new ideas. Kristi Noem I'm interested in the kind of religion that makes life harder. I'm not so interested in the comforting kind of religion. Jonathan Safran Foer I don't know how other people perceive the lives of actors, but my life is fairly ordinary. I go to work, I come home, I put my kids to bed. If I'm home in time for dinner, I have dinner, and then it's bedtime. Steve Carell You cannot compare your athletic achievement to the importance of children and giving them a safe environment in which to grow up and enjoy life. Steffi Graf In a show or a movie, one must work with many people. Many women just don't have the time for it. Dorothy Fields A group of reptilian humanoids, called the Babylonian Brotherhood, control h

full hour a day. Every day. Man. I thought all she wanted was for me not to have any fun. Next thing you know, you have a career in music. Now, not everybody's going to go on and be Mozart or Michael Jackson. But music makes you smarter. Jamie Foxx The mainstream press and television do a very soft job of covering the press, either as corporate entities or as news organizations. Sydney Schanberg Record companies, I found out, can put out compilations without your permission. Pink Oh, my mom. She's one of my biggest fans. Patina Miller I left home because I was hungry. Red Skelton I mean, no one asks beauty secrets of me, or 'What size do you wear?' or 'Who's your couturier?' They ask me about really deep things and I love that. Shirley MacLaine Towns and cities throughout the United States have opened their hearts and homes to thousands of families displaced from their homes as a result of this horrific storm. Jo Bonner An uncle of mine

how I know Joan Crawford could never have been cruel to her children. I really knew her, when she was still Billie, as she liked to be called in the early days. In a relationship as close as ours, I had the chance to see her in every kind of personal situation. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. I knew that I wanted to be a film actress and I never watched TV. I was always too busy. Alicia Silverstone I try to please myself. I don't try to anticipate what people want to see. Kevin Costner The whole world is determined by trade - which is really the blood of the world. The driving force is everyone's desire to have a better life. How? By consuming. For countries, the 'Holy Grail' is economic growth. Yann Arthus-Bertrand Boxing gave me the opportunities to grow into the person that I am today. Alexis Arguello Anything that I undergo, I look at as redemptive suffering. Jim Caviezel I like making things. I have a wood shop at home. I am a terrible carpenter but I love

today, who will retire in the future, people who are retired today, they have a right - and it's part of the compact that they can depend on their benefits. We should fix the long-term funding problem of Social Security because that's the right thing to do. Jacob Lew My parents armed me with an amazing sense of humor, and it's what you need when, well, it's what anyone needs in this world. Warwick Davis I like to find those shirts that they only made one of. That's my approach to style. But my vintage T-shirt collection is a little ridiculous. Josh Henderson Except for a few small presses, most publishers are north of Ground Zero. Richard Curtis I remember a period where my publisher said to me, 'Look, your historical work is selling much better than your contemporary work, so please give us more historicals.' Emma Donoghue Liberalism is Rationalism in politics. Francis Parker Yockey Mary and Carrie and baby Grace and Ma had all had scarlet

apart from the essential reality we know, then what happens on earth matters even more than we think, for the Christian life becomes a continuation of the unfolding work of Jesus, who will one day return to set the world to rights. Jon Meacham I'd just like to be treated like a regular customer. Elvis Presley The term 'giant' is used too often to describe artists. But in the case of Akira Kurosawa, we have one of the rare instances where the term fits. Martin Scorsese The Federal Reserve's job is to do the right thing, to take the long-run interest of the economy to heart, and that sometimes means being unpopular. But we have to do the right thing. Ben Bernanke My father leaving the family shaped who I was and how I looked at the world. By the same token, my father telling me fairy tales that he had made up shaped me profoundly, too. Kate DiCamillo Congress passes bills that appropriate money. Congress says, 'We're building this bridge or funding

cats, a pet store seems to say, 'Here, we couldn't think of anything else.' Cats are the Hanukkah of the animal world in this way. They are feted quietly and happily by a minority, but there's only so much hoopla applicable to them. Sloane Crosley I came to realize I did believe in God. I couldn't conceive of a universe without someone overseeing it in a compassionate way. Rainn Wilson We do things for good reasons that are bad. Francis Ford Coppola To a child, often the box a toy came in is more appealing than the toy itself. Allen Klein I don't have to show that I am working very hard. Salman Khan If time is not real, then the dividing line between this world and eternity, between suffering and bliss, between good and evil, is also an illusion. Herman Hesse I never spent much time with people my own age. David Karp God is the Creator; Satan is the counterfeiter. Edwin Louis Cole You must plan to be spontaneous. David Hockney The land

around my heart. And when they were done trying to cut it out, nuke it out with radiation and chemotherapy it out, it left so much scar tissue that when I walk outside now in cold weather and take a deep breath, it feels like someone is stabbing me. Eric Massa I've made some mistakes before. Jenn Suhr Laws against homosexual behavior should remain on the books. Orson Scott Card They're the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and they will not do that. They will not pull the trigger. Gray Davis Yeah, and I recently had my first Elvis moment. A gang of young girls was jumping all over me. It was kinda scary. And totally flattering. Channing Tatum I don't want to live in a militarised country behind an iron curtain. It's boring. Been there and seen the movie. I've done that. Dmitry Medvedev I have been told my eating habits are absolutely bizarre. But I don't think so. Marilyn Monroe If I don't know I don't know, I think I know. If I

as a kid. I may be able to change socks less frequently and not get the fungus. But, I'd rather not run the test to determine just how infrequently I could change socks. I don't feel superstitious about it. Bill Nye I'm just trying to make a buck like everyone else. Tom Waits Feminists have confused opportunity with outcome. Warren Farrell Promise yourself to live your life as a revolution and not just a process of evolution. Anthony J. D'Angelo Every Vacation movie didn't just make the studio money. They each made the studio a lot of money. Chevy Chase I am generally cast as the dependable, affable, loving, friend-wife-girlfriend. Rashida Jones I studied the cello for a long time, from when I was little up through college. Lev Grossman I've had more than 12,000 emails from the United States. It's not easy in the United States to find out the email address of a British parliamentarian. George Galloway Philosophers are very severe towa

way is, because it is constantly being re-defined. It's also been exploited and capitalized upon and politicized by one side or the other to the point that a certain degree of cynicism has attached itself to that term. J. Michael Straczynski One day I heard a speech of Hitler. In this speech he said that the German factory worker and the German labourer must make common cause with the German intellectual worker. Fritz Sauckel And that if you become a star, people are going to go to see you. If you remain an actor, they're going to go and see the story you're in. Morgan Freeman Fast food is popular because it's convenient, it's cheap, and it tastes good. But the real cost of eating fast food never appears on the menu. Eric Schlosser People want to imagine I spend every night going to premieres and putting on frocks and getting into limos, and yet I do that maybe twice a year, if that. Rachel Weisz What I would say to a person who is firm in their faith

delve into this Internet world and decide best how to harness it. What I like best about it is the independent movie style and the ability to just be completely reckless within that world. I like that a lot. I just have to acquaint myself with technology. Norm MacDonald The darker the film, the more vital everyone's sense of humor is on set. Eric Bana Composition is definitely what I'm born to do, and it came last. David Friedman I always look forward to working with Goldie because she's a great person to work with. Kurt Russell I just let the character speak to me and things appear. Shirley Knight My biggest thing is banana pudding, but it's the devil! So no one is allowed to bring it into my house. Because I can't control myself. So why put it in my domain? Jennifer Hudson There is a certain dignity to being French. Brigitte Bardot Verse satire indeed is entirely our own. Quintilian I've got Ferraris coming out me bum. Rod Stewart So

was made for me and my friends during the period of time that I was going through chemotherapy. And I still wear it, because it's a great reminder of friendship and how my buddies and others came together in my time of need. Joseph J. Lhota Medicine grounds me, it centers me, that's why I continue to do it. Mehmet Oz I became a specialist at comedic one-liners. Lauren Hutton For me it's always God, family, and then my work. Kimora Lee Simmons In baseball, I was always in control of everything until I let the ball go. Curt Schilling I think politicians get hamstrung by the nature of politics when the private sector can really do great things. Henry Rollins If you look at my body of work, my characters drastically vary, and so I typically don't play the same role. It makes me feel reborn with each role. Toni Trucks I look to work with businesses that know what they are doing but need larger distribution or exposure. Daymond John I'm at a time i

working every single day, and I do songs every day. So it's just about finding time, scheduling, getting in and cutting the records. I make it happen and that's the name of the game. It's no excuses - you gotta figure it out. Rico Love Today, technology is moving faster than the research establishment. James Heywood I don't really think about doing something kind, I think there's just a way to conduct your daily life with compassion to other people. Kat Dennings What is at stake in the debate over health care is more than the mere crafting of policy. The issue is now the identity of the Democratic Party. Thomas Frank You need to feed yourself with emotions and life or you'll become empty. Guillaume Canet I mean, don't forget the earth's about five thousand million years old, at least. Who can afford to live in the past? Harold Pinter I came back to my original wife. I came back to her after I made a few boo-boos in my life. Coming back

'40s, they didn't treat Joan Crawford movies like that, but as the big movies of their year. I'm upset that there's no 'Terminator' with a woman in Arnold Schwarzenegger's role. Because that would make just as much money. Ellen Barkin Even if it had not been possible to reproduce the disease in animals and consequently to verify the hypothesis, this simple observation would have been sufficient to demonstrate the way in which the disease was propagated. Charles Jules Henry Nicole At least I can write. R. L. Stine We couldn't get the car back until well after the end of the race and we had very little time for repairs. John Surtees There is the odd exception, like Albert Einstein, but as a breed, scientists tend not be very good at presenting themselves. Bill Bryson I love keeping a connection with everyone I've worked with. Ashley Tisdale The principles of living greatly include the capacity to face trouble with courage, disappointm

them. I think that most of what we are constantly bombarded with in terms of media leads you to a creation of 'the Other' and a dehumanization of 'the Other,' and it's very much an us-versus-them conversation. Jehane Noujaim Americans think Soviets are so grim. I want them to see that they can smile. Yakov Smirnoff I always found when I was reading an interview with an actor that I wasn't interested in their political opinions - I just wanted to know what they'd had for breakfast. Elizabeth Hurley Apparently, Daniel Craig said I'd be a great Bond. Daniel, why did you say that? Dropped me right in it! What an honor it would be, but also, what an indication of change. Idris Elba Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart. Mahatma Gandhi I didn't have any concept of age or authority. I remember realising, Oh

take situations that are quite ordinary and transform them in some way. Apart from things like the murder ballads, the songs I write, at their core, are quite ordinary human concerns, but the process of writing about them transforms them into something else. Nick Cave I try to get in one, one-hour spinning class per week. Robert Herjavec Most animals are built to withstand one bad year. John Hunter A bird in hand is a certainty. But a bird in the bush may sing. Bret Harte I have been five minutes too late all my life-time! Hannah Cowley Praise does wonders for our sense of hearing. Arnold H. Glasow European citizens expect that there will be also a fair system inside the European Union and in the euro, and that's why we have to have quite hard discipline. Tarja Halonen I think that 'The Sopranos' uses music incredibly well. Alexandra Patsavas I love Chicago, but I didn't think I had enough soul to be a Cubs fan. Emmylou Harris I'm intellig

and one of the things that happened when this business started to give way to the Internet and to broadcast television is that a lot of organizations started cutting specifically investigative journalism and they also started cutting fact-checkers. Matt Taibbi Ian and Sylvia, who, when you got right down to it, were essentially country and western singers. I just recorded his Four Strong Winds. It's a wonderful song. Dave Van Ronk The person who makes a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. Cecil B. DeMille In fact, it is often times a detriment for the Government to preemptively legislate on an issue before we can either define it or grasp its impact. Steve Buyer For most of my life, I've thought of myself as pretty cool. Nikki Giovanni I was 16 and did a play at school. I was a rather good student... And then I did a play when I was 16 and completely lost all my concentration for academics. Hank Azaria There wa

to adapt my life after that existence, where a lot of people do. And they get the publicist, and they get all that stuff, and it becomes them. I think it's a stupid way to live your life. A really dumb way to live your life. Zach Galifianakis So I - the thought that I would physically be different was - it's not a thrill, I have to tell you. It's kind of - it brings you up short. But I was able to look at it right away. Lynn Redgrave I like to think of myself as a humanitarian. Seal I am of the opinion that the appreciation and the desire for what is good takes more study and insight than does the understanding and test for the best music and art. Laurance Rockefeller I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc. Jackson Pollock Anyone in politics would like to have great economic numbers. Terry McAuliffe I've never been a bad boy. John Mayer Really in all my years on Tour, in the U.S. Open I

they know they haven't seen the whole work. But then people look at a painting for two minutes and think they've seen it. Certain paintings are made to be consumed fast. But some require a slowed-down time. You have to go back to them. Julie Mehretu The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. Ezra Taft Benson People are sheepish when they approach me. Ryan Phillippe I was hesitant to go around and shake hands, just go up and stick my hand out to strangers. Then I learned to stick my hand out. Jim Edgar Seneca brings vividly before us a picture of the various scholars assembled in a school of the philosophers. Frederic William Farrar My mom was a Democrat and I was scared to death that she was gonna blow it. First I was going to hell with Monroe, and now to Republican hell with Nixon. Tommy Rettig I exe

I see the words 'ice queen' attached to me, I feel like banging my head against the wall. There's this perception that I can only be in a film if I have a glass of champagne in my hand and a stately home in the background. Kristin Scott Thomas When your outgo exceeds your income, the upshot may be your downfall. Paul Harvey The more I read, to me the more incredible everything is. Based on what I've read, there are all these other dimensional planes and spaces, mathematically proven. Dwight Schultz I like having a woman. I like having someone to come home to, to make all of the hard work feel worth it. I need someone with me. And I want someone. Neil Diamond Before we decide to trust you with this power, we ask you to stand before the public and explain your views. Justice may be blind, but it should not be deaf. Herb Kohl We want to raise the art of living well. Robert Mondavi I lived in a hotel across the street from Disneyland for a month. Steve Cr

Indiana Jones; I'd never get a look in there, but actually, Doctor Who is probably the only one that I could because he's quite quirky, and the fact that he regenerates he can actually be anyone. So one day, who knows, I might have a chance. I'd love to play that part. Thomas Howes Jobs are created by businesses, especially small and mid-sized businesses. Charlie Dent Usually I do everything reverse. I practice something in movies and then I try it in real life. John Cusack I mean I tried to transform myself through characters throughout my career. Charlize Theron I discovered the Clash, the Pistols, obviously the Ramones, Blondie. Jerry Only We don't know why, but pancreatic cancer has a very interesting physiological link to depression. There seems to be a deep link, and we don't know what it is. Siddhartha Mukherjee If popular culture has taught us anything, it is that someday mankind must face and destroy the growing robot menace. Daniel H. Wi

Illustrated' reporter for a weekend, I didn't realize I'd have to squeeze it in around another sports job. I had planned to retire from the NFL to enjoy the cushy lifestyle of a full-time reality TV star, but I wound up getting run over by a bull. Junior Seau I just became a vegetable for three months. I couldn't talk to people. I was very ill and that was part of the reason I left college. Adam Ant We have no Arab intellectuals of international stature because we live in a state of generalized mediocrity. We are suspended in the pit without touching the bottom. Tahar Ben Jelloun I do not deny I brought most of my notoriety on myself, nor do I apologize for it. Billy Carter I think the relation between the monarchy and the press is very much a two-way street. Anthony Holden After 14 years, it better be a real marriage, you know? We do have a great time together. We are really lucky. Kyra Sedgwick The thing that all sports have in common is that they ha

You might like something that doesn't fit right now. What was working for you at one point, something you've loved for years and years, when you get together with everybody, you think, this doesn't match up with what's going on with you personally. Alison Krauss Examine each question in terms of what is ethically and aesthetically right, as well as what is economically expedient. Aldo Leopold I still get butterflies when I'm doing a runway show. The music starts, you're wearing these gorgeous clothes and your nervous about your high heels, if your shoes are going to break, if your going to slip or do something wrong. Karlie Kloss Everyone's been so quick to say that I'm really thick or I haven't got a brain. People will think whatever they want to think. David Beckham I always say I'd rather be miserable by myself than unhappy in a relationship. Graham Norton My secret vice is Sudoku puzzles. Can't stop playing them. My parents

not, just doesn't know enough about things. They haven't been around enough - novelists never go anywhere. Once I discovered true books about real things - books like 'How To Run a Company' - I stopped reading novels. Peter York The ability to make music is a gift that you're born with; it's not something you can learn. Robin Trower Reagan's dead, and he was a lousy President. Keith Olbermann As a theoretical physicist, I feel at once proud and humble at the thought of the illustrious figures that have preceded me here to receive the greatest of all honors in science, the Nobel prize. Murray Gell-Mann It's important to determine which surroundings work best for you, and then build that environment to suit your needs. Marilu Henner The list of women to potentially be on a major party ticket, in both parties, is embarrassingly short. Eleanor Clift I've always been obsessed about how people choose - or are destined - for the paths they

took literally everything I knew how to do on stage with me, which was juggling, magic and banjo and my little comedy routines. I always felt the audience sorta tolerated the serious musical parts while I was doing my comedy. Steve Martin Jazz is not the popular culture. Jazz is in the same position in our culture as classical music. A very small minority of people really love it. John Corigliano I don't think I ever went down that movie star path. I always enjoy taking a 90-degree turn from the last thing I did. Jeff Bridges As part of the process by which you hire me, you hire me. You just don't hire an hour of me to do a performance. Keith Olbermann I got asked by a freelance journalist to jump in front of Princess Diana's funeral. How pathetic is that? That would have been the stupidest thing on the planet. Mark Roberts Tranquilizers work only if you follow the advice on the bottle - keep away from children. Phyllis Diller You can be self-empowered and

was all that was allowed in that arena at the time. I had to step away for the sake of the machine. I was being way too compromised. I felt uncomfortable having to smile in someone's face when I really didn't like them or know them well enough to like. Lauryn Hill When people tell me I'm an artist, I say, 'What?' It's impossible for me to take the idea seriously. Takeshi Kitano Everything we do affects other people. Luke Ford Musicals are plays, but the last collaborator is your audience, so you've got to wait 'til the last collaborator comes in before you can complete the collaboration. Stephen Sondheim I want a cheeseburger so badly, but I have to be a vampire in a few weeks. Kristen Stewart When we put God first, all other things fall into their proper place or drop out of our lives. Ezra Taft Benson Government has a legitimate sphere of operation. The problem arises when that sphere continually expands, encompassing areas where gove

risk quite a lot - as a comedian, you're always risking a lot. You're risking failure, especially if you're improvising and going on TV shows trying to make comedy out of thin air. That is quite a risky business. David Walliams I'm sure that is a reason why young people occasionally bash up old people - because the ages don't mix any more. Penelope Keith I love Chekhov. I could go on all day about him. Tobias Wolff None of us are claiming that the statistical analysts understand the game of football as well as the football coaches do, or that our analysis should take precedence over the informed opinions of experts. I'm not saying that at all. Bill James People have allowed me into their homes, through my words and my music. Lionel Richie To me, adventure has always been to me the connections and bounds you create with people when you're there. And you can have that anywhere. Bear Grylls My next book - each one while I'm working on it -

- strangeness and charm. It's actually the name of the two smallest particles that there are when you split the atom, so I wrote a song around it. I even managed to fit the word 'hydrogen' in there. Isn't that a nice thing for scientists to call them though? Florence Welch I don't have the life of a famous person. But I do feel like I've been able to connect with a lot of people. Ann Brashares It seemed that rebellion must have an unassailable base, something guarded not merely from attack, but from the fear of it: such a base as we had in the Red Sea Parts, the desert, or in the minds of the men we converted to our creed. T. E. Lawrence I think we mixed a lot more curveballs than normal because they were either going after my drop or laying off of it and that's normally my go-to (pitch). Cat Osterman Before 'Life of Pi,' I wanted to do economics. And now, I realize how bad a mistake that would have been. I just can't see it as my cup

in their country, with only a minority revealing any real transformation of attitudes or consciousness. It has been true of slavery and racism, classism and consumerism and issues of immigration and health care for the poor. Richard Rohr Well, when I did Underworld 2, I was in Vancouver for five months and I was reminiscent to be back up there. Scott Speedman As long as we can tell stories about our ability to survive, the more we will hope, not self-destruct. Christina Ricci The novel is not so much a literary genre, but a literary space, like a sea that is filled by many rivers. Jose Saramago Americans are making coffee a bigger part of their lives, expanding attitudes and behaviors that are driving new levels of consumption. Robert Nelson If there is any form of contagion that is adaptive, it is the immediate response to the fear of others. If others are fearful, there may be good reason for you to be fearful too. Frans de Waal Yes, people pull the trigger - but gu

a coveted position for players all over the league. I'm honored to be the first cover athlete chosen by Madden NFL fans and it's a great way to cap off an amazing year for the Saints and the city of New Orleans. Drew Brees Since I also act, sometimes I get over my resentment and commit to the pitch as an acting job. Christopher Durang I do listen to a lot of music, but I don't listen when I'm writing. Yanni For investor confidence, it is important that there is certainty about the future of Ireland in E.U. Jose Manuel Barroso When I was younger, I was very athletic and I always loved sports and physical things. Saoirse Ronan I didn't get into this to pick up a new hobby. I don't want to just be a golfer. I want to be the best. Gabrielle Reece How hard, how bitter it is to become a man! Albert Camus You have to know when to be arrogant. You have to when to be humble. You have to know when to be hard and you have to know when to be soft. Tali

you know, movie stars and mansions and red carpets and trips to Europe and crazy stuff I never would have imagined - and I look at them as if I'm the bartender in the corner of the room. They've never gone into my psyche. I look at them with distance, and wonder. Andre Dubus III Right is right, even if no one else does it. Juliette Gordon Low I apologize if anybody was offended by anything I said. Jerome Corsi I usually do get to play the very sweet, charming roles... but I'm not an obvious kind of villain. Jacki Weaver I had one relative who passed away but fortunately none others. So my sort of experience of it is quite limited, thankfully. Daniel Radcliffe It had not occurred to me that marriage requires the same effort as a career. And unlike a career, marriage requires a joint effort. Jessica Savitch Any time you talk about your own stuff you sound self-aggrandising. Chris Isaak If I signed it that is the way it really happened. I don't know of

per cent level, pretty much everything about its physiology and life history, such as how long it is going to live, how many offspring it will have, the length of its aorta, how long it will take to mature, what is the pulse rate in the ninth branch of its circuitry. Geoffrey West In Britain, girls seem to be either bright or attractive. In America, that's not the case. They're both. John Cleese The bass is just the crayon that I picked out of the box. I'd probably be writing similar stuff if I played guitar or trumpet. The pictures I want to draw I do with this crayon I chose, which is the bass. Les Claypool When I first got married to my husband, he had boxes full of photos of my two stepsons, ages 5 and 8 at the time, and I put them together in some little albums and wrote notes about how happy I was that they were a part of my life. Nancy O'Dell Funding and maintaining programs from Head Start to Pell Grants must be a high priority. Ed Pastor It is ju

complained that too many 'secrets' were dished out by the intelligence and special operations communities to director Kathryn Bigelow, screenwriter Mark Boal and their crew, part of a broader pattern of using intelligence for political effect. Michael Hayden The very important thing you should have is patience. Jack Ma All my life I had feared to-morrow, until I decided to have faith and to live to-day in courage. Vash Young Some things I think are very conservative, or very liberal. I think when someone falls into one category for everything, I'm very suspicious. It doesn't make sense to me that you'd have the same solution to every issue. Louis C. K. Honestly, all the sweets and bad stuff on set don't really call to me because I'm working so much. I've trained myself to stay away from sugar. Taylor Schilling To this day, I'm a slave to CNBC. David Zaslav The great and almost only comfort about being a woman is that one can always

truly relate to and can help them - the audience and myself because I learn from the characters as well - help them see themselves in a perspective that is outside of what they know already, and grow from that experience. Kristin Kreuk My father was an academic, an eccentric. He was a lecturer. Elizabeth McGovern We were reminded first-hand of the work that still needs to be done in Iraq on the security front when insurgents fired five rounds into the base while we were still meeting with the nurses. Jon Porter I sometimes wonder if the inability to find oneself makes one seek oneself in other people, in characters. John Cazale The older I get, the less I obsess about material stuff. In fact, stuff has become the enemy. There always seems to be more of it than I have storage in my house! Rick Riordan The new rule says that the FBI has the right to go to public places on the same terms and conditions as other members of the public for counter-terrorism purposes. John Ash

'The Blues Brothers' with the chicken wire. This place called The Brick House, in Housatonic. I really can't believe we're going to play for people in New York City. I'm terrified, but it's a small enough room. But it's really just supposed to be for the fun of it. Lauren Ambrose I'm very proud of being Italian-American, but people don't realize that the mafia is just this aberration. The real community is built on the working man, the guy who's the cop, the fireman, the truck driver, the bus driver. Chazz Palminteri It is nasty. You can think that you know someone in this business and you really don't. You can be stabbed in the back very easily. You can be praised very easily. It doesn't matter who you are or what you do. Daisy Fuentes To me, giving back is so important. It makes others feel good which then in return makes me feel good. Katie Cassidy I never let myself get desperate. Kim Alexis I'm sure that everybody
