Dan Savage Let's be honest, I have enough money to never have to work again. Emma Watson Fans will come if you have a good prod...

we tip everyone. We tip doormen, we tip cab drivers, and we tip bartenders at the bar. You'll get quite an evil eye if you don't leave a tip at the bar. Zach Braff On the one hand, young theatre directors were coming to television theatre, because they wanted to get closer to the cinema, despite having studied and worked for the theatre. Andrzej Wajda I will not be making appointments to a committee that is not bipartisan. Nancy Pelosi I've certainly not got any famous people's numbers on my phone. It's just not my thing, really. Gareth Bale For your songs to connect with people, they've got to mean something to you. Charlie Fink Actors dread working with studios because they dictate what you do in a way that independent movies can't.

Ambedkar No matter what vision one has of South Africa, the first thing that must be done is to destroy racism. Joe Slovo It's really interesting that whenever you do something that is so out of character, like having an emotional outburst, that you don't get in trouble.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Oh, if I could put some of my reckless spirit into these discreet cautious lazy men! Mary Boykin Chesnut And as far as guitars go, I loved Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West's stuff.

Emma Watson People are interested in science, but they don't always know they're interested in science, and so I try to find a way to get them interested. Lawrence M. Krauss If the right job came along, absolutely with bells on I would work in Sweden. MyAnna Buring I'm not fake in any way. Courteney Cox I grew up in Texas and we used to go to Padre Island, eight hours in the car down to the beach. St. Vincent

full orchestra on tour is very ambitious. I would consider doing a show now and then, like do a show at Radio City or Carnegie Hall with a full orchestra. Vanessa Carlton I do believe that when your child does poorly on a test, your first step should not necessarily be to attack the teacher or the school's curriculum. It should be to look at the idea that, maybe, the child didn't work hard enough. Amy Chua For a while I had a blues band in L.A., but I realized I was too optimistic to play the blues. I did not have the misery in my heart that the blues required. John C. Reilly Some genres I'm not a huge fan of but there are always exceptions that break the rules. There are always a few people doing it in a way weird enough to grab my attention. Ville Valo I feel like my kind of music is a big pot of different spices. It's a soup with all kinds of ingredients in it. Abigail Washburn And I think it's true of any big organization... Bureaucracies and orga...

Honegger Magic and new technology have always walked hand in hand - even back in the days of Robert Houdin. David Copperfield Trade is nothing else but a Commutation of Superfluities; for instance: I give mine, what I can spare, for somewhat of yours, which I want, and you can spare. Dudley North I looked massive next to Ryan Seacrest! But I was lucky that I've never had anyone say, 'Jordin, you need to lose weight.' Jordin Sparks I also derive a great deal of pleasure from horses and dogs... the ocean... and love. William Shatner The first 2 weeks, they didn't learn the piece - they went through the process of how the piece was made. Siobhan Davies Religion is like magic. It is all about tricks. Michel Onfray Some people try and tell you what the songs are about and it bores me to death. Lars Ulrich The worst food you'll ever eat will probably be prepared by a 'cook' who calls himself a 'chef.' Mark my words. Alton Brown

one has any contact with how things are made that are put in their body and put in their mouths and I just find it alarming that no one questions it. Emma Watson Mos Def is one of the most creative, intelligent human beings I've had the opportunity to work with. He is fun. The entire time, he would go in and out of different characters, just for the fun of it. Awesome energy. Jill Scott Perfect as the wing of a bird may be, it will never enable the bird to fly if unsupported by the air. Facts are the air of science. Without them a man of science can never rise. Ivan Pavlov This is not a business where you can hand off and run by remote control. David Neeleman I'm glad to see the casual game play coming back now on the Internet, games that aren't violent, that aren't complex that you can sit down and you can have some fun. Nolan Bushnell When you write, no matter what, it ends up personal. Sean Durkin 'SNL' is our main priority because that was ...

guilty. When you are a villain you are just lurking in the shadows waiting for the hero to pass by. Then you pop them in the head and go home... piece of cake. James Marsters The huge problem in our society is the enormous ignorance of the ideas that underlie modern art. Thom Mayne Any free meal is a good meal, you know? Joe Sakic Nobody can assume that, to a writer, everything is off-limits. Ann Beattie If you want to move people, you look for a point of sensitivity, and in Egypt nothing moves people as much as religion.

Bruno Mars But which is the stone that supports the bridge? Kublai Khan But little white lies here and there is human nature. Everybody does that. Lucy Hale I'm not one of these actors who feels a pressing need to direct, and I have no plans to do it. Dennis Fra...

makes him trim and adopt some other view. The best reforms are worked out when sentiment operates, as it does in women, with the indignation of righteousness. Leland Stanford My philosophy is not a bean-counting, accounting 'look at this.' It is a philosophy that smaller government is better government, and government that is closer to the people is best of all. John Bolton A good historian is timeless; although he is a patriot, he will never flatter his country in any respect. Francois Fenelon When I say things that sound insane, like only the smartest million people should have the right to vote, well, I mean that. Adam Carolla The tax code is now nine times longer than the Bible, and not nearly as interesting. Rob Portman A friend told me that teenage girls are always looking for someone to pin their dreams on. That doesn't make it any less weird though. Orlando Bloom Sometimes it is the simplest, seemingly most inane, most practical stuff that matters ...

so a German will not despise the old Germany which was once a symbol of greatness to him. Gustav Stresemann It's better if you have a strong opinion on any talk show. George Kotsiopoulos I grew up in Hawaii and I think it was easier because we did not have cliques at high school. Kelly Preston Most people are nice and just want to have a chat. Ben Nicholas But when I first fell in love with the piano, I knew it was me. I was dying to play. Alicia Keys I've always felt, even as a songwriter, that the rhythm of speech is in itself a language for me. Cyndi Lauper I would like to be married and have kids. I would like to do that... Yes, I could see me settling down at some point. Kenny Chesney I want the same standard applied to homosexuals as is applied to heterosexuals. Rosie O'Donnell Conversation didn't seem necessary when I put the accordion down and swung some young lady around the floor. Lawrence Welk

penance for the time of murder, and shall be treated in the same manner as he who convicts himself of this sin. Saint Basil I do watch 'Revenge,' 'American Horror Story' and 'Game of Thrones.' I am behind on all of them. But I do watch them. Those are my go-to shows. Lana Parrilla Sports teams, people who follow sports teams, religion, churches, work - any company, I find that people just generally have a need to belong to something larger than themselves. Sean Durkin The time has come for me to pursue other interests outside of Yahoo. Jerry Yang And one thing about Mick Jagger is he keeps his eye very closely on not only where the dollars go but where the pennies go. Michael Lindsay-Hogg What's the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning? Wish I hadn't. Morrissey Ours was not a political household, when I was growing up. Judith Guest I understand English; I read and write English perfectly, but the accent won't go away. ...

a chemical attack. However, we are moving in the right direction. Saxby Chambliss My interest in magic was kindled by Steve Martin, the comedian I'd gone to high school with. Gary McCord You have to have pace, you have to have high production values, you have to have interesting graphics, and you have to have attractive people. CNN could afford not to be so obedient to those commands, and for a long time, it wasn't. Brit Hume The whole Disney thing is really interesting, in a way, how that's so permeated life and the world and the planet. William Wiley The idea of the extreme makeover is disturbing. Janice Dickinson Inappropriate behavior makes me laugh. Will Ferrell I'm a lifelong bachelor, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't marry the right woman. Richard Roeper There are gods, but there is no God; and all gods become devils eventually. Robert Anton Wilson Shakespeare's taught me that there are more words in the English language than I...

with anybody in a conversation. Megan Fox I think one of the great dangers here is going and categorizing anybody from one religion as a terrorist. That's not true... That would let the terrorists win. That's what they want us to do. Michael Bloomberg There's a lot of things in life that we don't know why they're coming exactly at this moment. Marat Safin America is a great disappointment to me. As I said in one of my books, other societies create civilisations; we build shopping malls. Bill Bryson There are no problems that exist in the District that have been solved elsewhere in the country. Whatever problems exist in this city exist other places. Chaka Fattah This country is becoming increasingly authoritarian. It's based on capital punishment. Kate Millett The war in Iraq, clearly has not turned out in the way that was hoped. William Hague But I was very much into sports when I was a child. Eva Herzigova I don't want to expose the...

woman. Karolina Kurkova Being in a rock band is about touring. It's about writing songs and it's about making records but it's also about taking a wonderful smile onto that stage and making the people feel good about themselves. James Young I thought, well, you might see curves there, but that's just a bone - so even if I lose weight that's not going to change anything. That's how I look. That's my shape. Do the math. Christina Hendricks The one thing I've learned about friends is that the good ones are rare. Lauren Conrad I think what has happened, actually, is that September 11 has given a spur, a renewed urgency, to dialogue between the great faiths. George Carey Bjork is a very original, interesting person. I like her very much. Catherine Deneuve I started to put on weight when I was about four and a half and it got really bad when I was around nine. I ballooned. I was about 110 pounds. Carnie Wilson I'm not a political comed...

Spade Good music is good music, but it has to be good. Vikram Seth I did a play called 'On Golden Pond' in a dinner theater in Maine and then went to New York for a talent competition having put together a three-man juggling routine and some one-liners and I got myself an agent from that. Patrick Dempsey I believe Americans have a strong work ethic. Tim Scott I need to start honing in on projects that I want to devote my time to and not put my energies into the unattainable ones. Dan Deacon I write arrangements. I'm sort of a wannabe composer. Joshua Bell When you have a person in power who punishes people for speaking their mind, it's truly dangerous. Tim Robbins Life is so short. I would rather sing one song than interpret the thousand. Jack London Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputations... can never effect a reform. Susan B. Anthony

is not only a masterful performance; to me it just sounds like the holidays. I've never sung it, because Nat's version is so perfect. I gotta leave it alone. Harry Connick, Jr. Self-hatred and self-love are equally self-centered. Mason Cooley I wish I had more guts when I was younger because then I would've said things to people's faces instead of just running away all the time.

Adam Scott I enjoyed debate on the floor but it's not really debate in the same way. Geraldine Ferraro Touring gets really lonely.

faiths have at their heart the living image of a community raised up by God's call to reveal to the world what God's purpose is for humanity. Rowan Williams The goal, I submit, is obvious: subjugating the world (which is barbarian, dangerous, envious and ungrateful) to US power for the sake of America's interests. Breyten Breytenbach Sometimes when you're overwhelmed by a situation - when you're in the darkest of darkness - that's when your priorities are reordered. Phoebe Snow Success is not a good teacher, failure makes you humble. Shah Rukh Khan I like coming to the United States because the United States played an important role in my life. Mstislav Rostropovich One of the most important things, actually, when you're playing on grass, is to move. Marat Safin My former wife is a truly wonderful person. Burt Lancaster The death of the forest is the end of our life. Dorothy Stang I've done a lot of things with theater that I'...

sing, but I do make up for it when I come off! Bonnie Tyler It makes you also realize, 'OK, I'm excited to play tennis, and I work really hard to be the best tennis player I think I can be,' but I don't waste my time on stupid stuff, you know what I mean. Kim Clijsters Again, I'm used to speaking to a lot of people; I have a lot of friends and family, and I perform music and speak in front of a lot of crowds. So I share with people already a lot in my life. Lisa Loeb There is no accountability today... no willingness to focus on big ideas. Michael Bloomberg The NRA provided that in America each industry should be organized into a federally supervised trade association. It was not called a corporative. It was called a Code Authority. John T. Flynn Our bloom is gone. We are the fruit thereof. Wallace Stevens I wouldn't care if they tattoo Festus all over. He's been good to me. Ken Curtis The elements which are the most widely diffused have...

sort of feel like music saved my life when I was young. This is the one thing that I knew I was good at. Sarah McLachlan Well, it's very clear that the Arab population is rising because they'd like to have a say in the running of their affairs, running of their government, and this is very legitimate. Al-Waleed bin Talal Most were beginning to feel they had learned enough to last for the rest of their lives. They remained mathematicians, but largely went their own way. Benoit Mandelbrot Sugar-free ice pops are an invention of God. They hardly have any calories since they're mostly water. I eat about 15 pops every two days. Gene Simmons People never believe you. J. D. Salinger Women who choose to breastfeed should get as much education and support as possible. Gayle Tzemach Lemmon Evil, when we are in its power, is not felt as evil, but as a necessity, even a duty. Simone Weil In love as in sport, the amateur status must be strictly maintained. Robert G...

the band to sign with a Sharpie right on their skin and they go get it tattooed the next day. Then they'll show up at another show and they'll have their tattoo. Jared Leto I always said life consists of love and work. I tried to balance it 50-50. And, of course, now I'm so happy I did. John Forsythe The Monkees were never cancelled for a start. NBC wanted to do a third year. Davy Jones I find revealing the secrets of magic quite reprehensible. David Copperfield Middle age went by while I was mourning for my lost youth. Mason Cooley I have crashed on a motorcycle that was going at 140mph, so I know what it feels like. Rachel Kushner I think that everything happens for a reason, everything happens when it's going to happen. Lou Reed It was a hard time. It was something I would love to erase from my memory. Rafael Palmeiro I have relaxed into my persona as an author, although I used to fight that. David Guterson

has an urgency to it. Neil Young Official history is merely a veil to hide the truth of what really happened. When the veil is lifted, again and again we see that not only is the official version not true, it is often 100% wrong. David Icke Most of the birds of the Old World can be found here, as Oman is on a strategic route for migrating birds. Saadi For me, writing essays, prose and fiction is a great way to be self-indulgent. Diablo Cody The body must stay fit. Fit people like themselves much better. Diana Vreeland Terrorists cannot threaten the survival of a great nation. Conrad Black In nonfiction, you have that limitation, that constraint, of telling the truth. Peter Matthiessen I'm not what you might call sexy, but I'm romantic. Let's put it that way. Betty White I'd rather stay out of the limelight until I've done something I feel proud of. Rachel Stevens

work. Josh Charles I try not to do bad, but sometimes it's irresistible. Jackee Harry I never studied with Balanchine, but his work was very important to me. Twyla Tharp Originality is really important. Jim Carrey I call it fan fatigue. I went to see Bob Dylan last year, who I think is absolutely incredible, but he suffers from his audience. Roger Daltrey Many people still regard many users of public services as undeserving. Elaine MacDonald The fact is... our doors have not exactly been knocked down by companies willing to defend Microsoft's business practices.

is the one person who made me believe in my talent and whatever happened in the past, he's been a wonderful manager to me. LaToya Jackson Almost everything I do is related to being fat. Camryn Manheim Usually I like to have them, but going drum-less pushes everything in a new direction and makes it easier to keep things sounding different. J Mascis I'm from Texas, and I would love to do an old-fashioned gun-slinging Western. Jensen Ackles I wish I could spend six years writing one novel. Paullina Simons Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple. Bill Shankly After working with Ligeti I began to hear Brahms and Beethoven differently. Esa-Pekka Salonen I've been through a lot as far as love. Leighton Meester Before I left Russia in 1999, I was living in a very poor factory town with my family and friends, and nothing was ever goin...

bunny cartoons. Nick Mancuso I had had some months of depression. Not serious enough to keep me from work. So, I guess you'd call that a mild depression. It was becoming worse. And I was being treated for it with anti-depressants. Jane Pauley I don't think consensus-building politics is what I'm meant to be doing. Christopher Hitchens There are many other kinds of milk available. Why don't we try drinking rats' milk and dogs' milk? Heather Mills I don't think politics has anything to do with left, right, or center. It has to do with trying to do right by people. Paul Wellstone I always wanted to be a boy scout but was too poor. Couldn't do it. Giancarlo Esposito If you don't like or care about your job, what's the big deal? Jessica Cutler The only model to follow is pure Islam. Abu Bakar Bashir You never know what doors are going to open up and why they are going to open up. You've got to be ready to walk through them....

for the beach. Lisa Snowdon Create a website that expresses something about who you are that won't fit into the template available to you on a social networking site. Jaron Lanier But one of the amazing things about documentary is that you can remake it every time you make one. There is no rule about how a documentary film has to be made. Errol Morris The climate in the '50s and '60s for black performers or black people in the entertainment business was atrocious. It was atrocious. Quincy Jones But sadly, one of the problems with being on public radio is that people tend to think you're being sincere all the time. Ira Glass You can't teach somebody how to be funny. You're either funny, or you ain't. Denis Leary For me it's all about keeping things simple and feeling comfortable in what I am wearing. I prefer investing in classic well-tailored pieces.

not only in producing wealth but over the whole range of human activities - that constitutes its most decisive superiority over any of its rivals. Paul Johnson I shall not grow conservative with age. Elizabeth Cady Stanton For me, I have no political ego in this thing with respect to any other leader and what they might feel is appropriate or necessary in what they're going to try to do... We need everybody on the front lines. Marc Morial The more easily digestible and refined the carbohydrates, the greater the effect on our health, weight and well-being. Andrew Weil You are safer here tonight than you would be on the streets of any other city in the world. Michael Bloomberg I only want to protect animals from barbarous, cruel, inhuman and backward rituals. Brigitte Bardot The thing is, if you believe in the unconscious - and I do - there's room for all kinds of possibilities that I don't know how you prove one way or another. Jasper Johns It was not ju...

people. That's why I believe in the importance of bearing witness, to become a voice for the voiceless. Bianca Jagger But I've never felt objectified. Nothing you see me do is an accident. Eva Mendes Property in man, always morally unjust, has become nationally dangerous. Robert Dale Owen I've always wanted to drive cross-country. Mila Kunis I know it shouldn't make a difference, but crossing the dateline, we weren't sure what day it was - it was very strange. Now, I seem to cope with it better. Phil Collins We dissect failure a lot more than we dissect success. Matthew McConaughey Put it this way: singing is not my day job. Chris O'Dowd When trouble comes, focus on God's ability to care for you. Charles Stanley Let us be a little humble; let us think that the truth may not perhaps be entirely with us. Jawaharlal Nehru

and the right energy, you look at him. Cesar Millan I am more and more convinced that man is a dangerous creature and that power, whether vested in many or a few, is ever grasping, and like the grave, cries, 'Give, give.' Abigail Adams What American people and what the markets want is a fair and level playing-field, where the rules are clearly elucidated, where the referees are competent, and where we know that the game is not rigged. James Chanos Who among us has the strength to oppose petty egoism, those petty good feelings, pity and remorse? Ivan Turgenev There are several books out on punk history, but I haven't read any of them. I was there. Greg Ginn I like being talked about. I think some people really don't... because they're secure enough and they don't need that. Elaine Stritch Somebody can become a celebrity for being stupid. That is what it's turned into. Kate Hudson I think rock & roll has prepared me for a lot of flexib...

newspaper or sees a clip someplace, but the audience that actually comes and watches, just like Oprah - they get to know you and they sense something genuine. Glenn Beck I love to laugh. I love to make people laugh. Dreama Walker God bless Interlibrary Loan. I pay a lot of library fines. In the case of 'A Single Shard,' I was using books that hadn't been checked out in 30 years, so I didn't feel too bad. Linda Sue Park Always a godmother, never a mother. That sucks. I've got to get me one of those little accessories. Courteney Cox I believed that English-speaking people had a divine mission to civilize the world by making it western, democratic and Christian.

of a stupid man as perfectly healthy and ordinary, and of illness as making one refined and clever and unusual. Thomas Mann If I am not moving I get bored very easily. Adriana Lima While you are experimenting, do not remain content with the surface of things. Ivan Pavlov Democracy is an experimental system. I like it when states try out new ideas.

Mandy Moore We are optimistic, but we are optimistic in a cautious fashion. Tom Lantos I believe firmly that it was the Almighty's goodness, to check my consummate vanity. Lord Mountbatten Paris is a danger for people like me. We spend our rent money in Paris on clothes. Bridget Kelly

you spend all day on horseback, and you hop off, you walk around like you still have a horse between your legs. And it affects your shoulders. They fall. Heath Ledger If I can bring some light to bear on problems like that, I feel that people will be enlightened not only on the question but also on a way of approaching such questions. Marvin Harris I come to work on time. I focus on my job. I bust my scenes out and everything else kind of happens from there. Michael K. Williams I don't think screenwriting is therapeutic. It's actually really, really hard for me. It's not an enjoyable process. Charlie Kaufman I have defeated this earthworm with my words. Imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists. Charlie Sheen It's been said that no man is a hero to a newspaperman, and I spent too many years as an ink-stained wretch. David Simon I've got nothing very original to say myself. A. N. Wilson You know, I'm not terribly fast at my ...

Larry Elder I want to do everything in the world that can be done. Fanny Kemble Common sense and history tell you that rewarding illegal behavior will only encourage more of it.

and today in America there are only 3.3 working Americans paying payroll taxes to support each individual currently retired and collecting Social Security taxes. John Shadegg Of course, I also hear from critics who detest what I do, and while sometimes I feel rather proud of having made various the loathsome people or groups angry, at other times I wonder why I put up with such grief. Orson Scott Card I've had moments where I realize my body isn't going to withstand many more seasons, but I am very satisfied with my career and I am trying not to look at retirement as a sad thing. Cat Osterman You cannot contract to sell a baby. If they legalize this contract they may soon start bringing poor women in from other countries just to be breeders. Mary Beth Whitehead When I was in high school, I wasn't a troublemaker. I didn't get in fights. I was a good student and I had a lot of friends. Thomas McDonell There are a lot of guys who play in the NBA. There aren...

mean, these are people who grew up loving animation and loving cartoons, and the only difference between them and me is they don't know how to draw. Craig McCracken Oddly enough, I think that everybody can relate to revenge, on some level. Everyone has wanted to exact it, at some point, and everybody has tampered with the idea, even if they didn't actually go through with it. Emily VanCamp I trust it will not be giving away professional secrets to say that many readers would be surprised, perhaps shocked, at the questions which some newspaper editors will put to a defenseless woman under the guise of flattery. Kate Chopin Fundamental violations of human rights always lead to people feeling less and less human. Aung San Suu Kyi My life is every moment of my life. It is not a culmination of the past. Hugh Leonard You don't need a love scene to show love. Lee Grant I'm becoming more powerful. Jenn Suhr I'd say I am partial to women. Bob Hoskins ...

TV appearances than written articles. And I have the weirdest voice. James Blunt The only thing that's going to free Huey is gun powder. H. Rap Brown I wouldn't live in Chicago cause it's too conservative, aside for the fact that Oprah Winfrey lives there. Madonna Ciccone I don't know why my brain has kept all the words to the Gilligan's Island theme song and has deleted everything about triangles. Jeff Foxworthy I've learned that in order to achieve what I wanted, it made more sense to negotiate than to defend the autonomy of my work by pounding my fist on the table. Thom Mayne My workout was running down fly balls, stealing a base, or running for my life on the football field. Bo Jackson You always have to know when to bow out. You bow out while you are on top. L.A. Reid Just watching my cats can make me happy. Paula Cole A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing. Albert Camus

research has been done showing that the woman is the most vulnerable but also the biggest strength leading to economic progress. Sri Mulyani Indrawati Feynman once said, 'Science is imagination in a straitjacket.' It is ironic that in the case of quantum mechanics, the people without the straitjackets are generally the nuts. Lawrence M. Krauss I thought I was really a radical, political person, which of course I am not. Lena Dunham A 65-ft.-wide screen and 500 people reacting to the movie, there is nothing like that experience. Michael Mann I do other sorts of things. I act in other people's movies. I direct operas. I write books. Werner Herzog You've got to perform in a role hundreds of times. In keeping it fresh one can become a large, madly humming, demented refrigerator.

Swizz Beatz I think what I've recognized over the years is that I'm very, very bingey, extremely bingey when it comes to writing. Tony Gilroy

discuss the world of tomorrow in terms of becoming a balance to the United States. The real issue is whether the United States will define herself as part of the U.N. system-or not.
