David Schwimmer Explain to me, please, why in our literature and art so often people absolutely incompetent in this field have the final word.

Bennie Thompson I'm about to become a member of the Chemists Society of America. I'm very proud of that. Victoria Principal Zac Efron would make us feel guilty for eating big dinners.

Wentworth Miller Sometimes I daydream about having a farm and a wife and some babies and watching the grass grow, but you have to meet the right person for that.

Jesus Christ When our thousands of Chinese students abroad return home, you will see how China will transform itself. Deng Xiaoping We

system. I am obsessed with it, but I am always away from home, and I can't use it. Margaret Cho The biggest catastrophes that we've witnessed rarely come from information that is secret or hidden. It comes from information that is freely available and out there, but that we are willfully blind to. Margaret Heffernan Comfort is very important to me. I think people live better in big houses and in big clothes. Gianni Versace Hip-hop is so much about character and caricature that people just see you as a character.

Haldane A man can sleep around, no questions asked, but if a woman makes nineteen or twenty mistakes she's a tramp. Joan Rivers It's the biggest party in the world, and you have to keep the whole thing percolating, which is difficult because a lot of awards most people don

of agricultural areas throughout the world, their ecological habitats are changing. So I think we're looking at - in our lifetime - great collapses of food services.

Edward Snowden Some people will do schlock or anything, just to get their name on i

Dennis Rodman I've been taking longer to write stories lately. Greg Egan

to be four. When I was four, I wanted to be prime minister. Jeffrey Archer Umpires, like players, are expected to show constant improvement each season and at each level.

Jim Evans There's this expression called postmodernism, which is kind of silly, and destroys a perfectly good word called modern, which now no longer means anything. Twyla Tharp No one knew me until I met my wife Lulu. Lulu's mother used to ask, Which one is Maurice? For six months she thought Lulu was dating Barry.

Vanessa Hudgens I have voted for a Republican for president ever since I was voting and since I was 18 years old. Joseph J. Lhota Doing a documentary is about discovering, being open, learning, and following curiosity. Sp

schools, and creating more room for entrepreneurial organizations to develop. And about half on technology, which I look at as a global platform. Reed Hastings I don't know what a painting is; who knows what sets off even the desire to paint? It might be things, thoughts, a memory, sensations, which have nothing to do directly with painting itself. They can come from anything and anywhere. Philip Guston The only difference between me and others is that they think they can change something with cute little poems, nice cards or embracing trees and being nice to little lapdogs. Henry Rollins I was a great reader of fairy tales. I tried to read the entire fairy tale section of the library. Beverly Cleary I'm glad I've never been so successful that I couldn't stop doing one thing. I've kind of been able to just kick it along and switch around. Kate Beckinsale I was so shy when I was younger. When I first went to Liverpool I didn't say a word for a year

now and it's time to put my family first. It's probably time to move on. Melanie Roach If you are a gay couple living in Alabama, you know one thing: your family has no standing under the law; and it can and will be violated by strangers.

And I put on the blinders, and I really - it is, for me, that simple. Dan Brown There is something about street dogs, about rescues; they have this knowing sense about them. Hayden Panettiere I've always kind of wrote when I wanted to. Once I get the idea in my head and get it outlined out, I usually just sit and write until it's done.

Boris Yeltsin I like to talk on TV about those things that aren't worth writing about. Truman Capote The human imagination has already come to conceive the possibility of recreating human society. Edmund Wilson

every year. That homer raised me to a high level, with the top guys in the game. Bobby Thomson I have, in my partner George Roberts, a person who is the most wonderful man in the world to me. He's like a brother to me. Creating with him, being side by side with him, in whatever we try to do, is a real pleasure to me. Henry Kravis Remember my mantra: distinct... or extinct.

Tom Hodgkinson All my characters have got a big slice of me in them. A big piece of me, because it's my dialogue and this is the way I think and talk. Wilbur Smith What is down will go up.

Waris Dirie Ideals jump across the hierarchies of the printed word. Dennis Potter Nothing is cooler and more attractive than a big comeback, and that'll be me. Steven Adler It's just exciting to be part of something that is brand-new. Brian McKnight What's got me excited about the education space is the growth of the Internet over the next 10, 20, 30 years.

baby is pretty much the same whatever age you are. It's nappies, crying, feeding. Rachel Hunter Your fans, they count on you to make wise decisions and wise choices. That's why they're your fan base. If you continually let them down, they're going to go find someone else to be fans of. Ludacris Marriage is an extremely difficult relationship.

Christian Lous Lange When you're doing a big movie, you're gone for 10 mon

of the book, and sometimes it's simply a flash somewhere in the middle. Robert Crais I had the idea for the show like a year and a half, two years ago.
