I have just returned from visiting the Marines at the front, and there is not

a finer fighting organization in the world! Douglas MacArthur Feminism is hated because women are hated. Anti-feminism is a direct expression of misogyny; it is the political defense of women hating. Andrea Dworkin You've got to make an effort on your own. Some people don't even try. David Duval In this business, you never say no to anything. Mercedes Ruehl Being offended is part of being in the real world. Courtney Love I wait for death and journalists. Jeanne Calment Memory narrativises itself. Aleksandar Hemon I like people who take responsibility for their lives. Walter Dean Myers I can tan. I get tannish. It's not really tan, it's tannish. That kind of color. Alan Tudyk It's a really nice thing to have so many fans and people that really care. Jennifer Aniston

The real problem that I think those of us who are evangelicals and Democrats have

to face up to is that the political right controls the religious media. Tony Campolo In America, the professor talks to the mechanic. They are in the same category. Noam Chomsky I've gotten out of bed a lot of days for a lot less than $10,000. Amber Valletta Alas, all traditions lose their primal purity and we all fail our founders. Karen Armstrong I don't get bored. Haruki Murakami It is the same in love as in war; a fortress that parleys is half taken. Margaret of Valois The monarchy is a part of the state. It exists to serve the people. Heather Brooke There's always going to be life experiences that find their way into my songs. Jake Owen Yeah. I've been pretty fortunate to travel I guess, all around the place. Ben E. King For me, being memorable is more important than winning. Ricki Lake

I would dearly love to resist the temptation, if you can call it that, to

worry. It's boring, it's anti-social, it's unproductive and it's depressing. Peter Mayle The laziest man I ever met put popcorn in his pancakes so they would turn over by themselves. W. C. Fields What I felt is the same kind of love I felt between Waylon and his audience. And that's what I miss. Jessi Colter I love it when people want to interpret my books. China Mieville I tend to like poems that engage me - that is to say, which do not bore me. Mark Strand I have to say I regretted giving up animated movies. Stanislav Grof I wanted to become a model since I was a kid. Marisa Berenson I usually spend my free time worrying about when I'm going to work next. Merritt Wever It's really American to avoid paying taxes, legally. Lindsey Graham Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience. Paul Cezanne

We could solve all our problems if only we were the efficient, rational human beings

of standard economic theory and had politicians willing to think in the long-term interest of their people rather than their own. Jeremy Grantham From the early Seventies to the mid-Eighties, I approached Rome at a snail's pace. Having concluded that God existed, I could not seriously entertain the thought of not trying to be in contact with Him. Conrad Black You're now getting a new breed of people like Il Divo and Andrea Bocelli and I think that's why people feel less intimidated by classical music than they once did. Katherine Jenkins I'm really optimistic in the mornings. Kary Mullis It is the responsibility of leadership to provide opportunity, and the responsibility of individuals to contribute. William Pollard Don't hate me, but I've always been skinny. I got lucky. Malin Akerman I love working with children. Liam Neeson No Western government has ever played the long-term in terms of foreign policy. Damian Lewis I've always had

Micropayments are great if you use them for a product or service with certain properties.

It must be one where you can get away with usage-based pricing, and where there is a strong rationale for making it cheap, yet not free. Nathan Myhrvold You have to be aware of who you're talking to in an audience. Louis C. K. Money doesn't make people happy. People make people happy. Steve Wynn I don't need to Google myself. Nicki Minaj Maybe that's what life is... a wink of the eye and winking stars. Jack Kerouac I certainly didn't want to date. I was through with guys. Brandy Norwood Let's blow some stuff up. Adam Savage I have had shoulder injuries in the past, but usually it's from training. Warren Cuccurullo If I complain about a traffic jam, I have no one to blame but myself. Steve Wynn My job is not babysitting people; my job is focusing on making the best band I possibly can. Jerry Only

Growing up in the days when you still had to punch buttons to make a

telephone call, I could recall the numbers of all my close friends and family. Today, I'm not sure if I know more than four phone numbers by heart. And that's probably more than most. Joshua Foer I value humor, kindness, and the ability to tell a good story far more than money, status, or the kind of car someone drives. Rebecca Wells Innovations that are guided by smallholder farmers, adapted to local circumstances, and sustainable for the economy and environment will be necessary to ensure food security in the future. Bill Gates Organisation can never be a substitute for initiative and for judgement. Louis D. Brandeis That's the goal. Just to go out and not try to prove anybody wrong but just let your talents speak for themselves. Robert Griffin III That fame monster's a fool, man. It really is. Gucci Mane People sometimes recognize me here, but they are very nice. Olivier Martinez I love country music, blues, and punk, and one day I might make tho

It's basic due diligence to make sure that whenever a foreign entity acquires a controlling

interest in a U.S. company that national security isn't threatened. Dave Reichert David was the kind of guy who was totally supportive of the actors and instructed the writing staff to trust the actor's instincts, since after all, it's the actors playing the character. William Devane Organisms by their design are not made to adapt too far. Kevin Kelly I thought I was going to be like Kevin Spacey in college. Billy Eichner I came over when I was 10 years old, which was very difficult because everybody made fun of me. Nicollette Sheridan I'll always be grateful to the public of intelligent amateurs. Paul Cezanne I don't even watch my own show: I tape it, I'm out. Christina Aguilera My yachts were, I suppose, outstanding status symbols. J. Paul Getty I've read Proust and Stendhal. That keeps you in your place. Francoise Sagan I actually don't know how magazines are produced, I'll be honest with you. I have no idea. Graydon Ca

Children are excellent observers, and will often perceive your slightest defects. In general, those who

govern children, forgive nothing in them, but everything in themselves. Francois Fenelon I think when you get to the point where you don't need to be in love, then you could be in love. You have to just be OK with yourself-and that's a long process. John Cusack As an individual, not as the boss of a company, I am very interested in motor racing. Carlos Ghosn In business, you try to solve problems. Bob Corker I like America. I think it's pretty cool. Mary Lynn Rajskub Reality is the name we give to our disappointments. Mason Cooley No, I will be the pattern of all patience; I will say nothing. William Shakespeare Disco is just jitterbug. Fred Astaire I'm very much afraid of being mad - that's my one fear. Sting You know, as you get older, the first thing you lose is memory. It seems to be happening with me. Bernhard Langer

I treat everyone as equals. I can't work if I'm not having fun, and I

can't have fun if not everyone is happy. Stellan Skarsgard We can preserve Social Security benefits for generations of Americans without privatizing this important program. Richard Neal I don't talk about my salary. Howard Stern It's a dismally lonely business, writing. Toni Cade Bambara I love that people can't place me. They don't know my name. That's 'mission accomplished' in my world. John C. Reilly So few grown women like their lives. Katharine Graham When you understand one thing through and through, you understand everything. Shunryu Suzuki I don't know any jokes, which is embarrassing. I wish I did. Marty Feldman Never, ever invest money that you will need prior to three to five years - minimum. Suze Orman The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion. Samuel Butler

Do I want Social Security to be there for my kids and my grandkids? Absolutely.

Will I fight like a tiger to make sure that we protect Social Security? I absolutely will. Claire McCaskill Developing better people should be the number one goal for any coach when dealing with kids. In trying to develop better people, we are going to develop more and better pros. Bobby Orr I don't write shows with dialogue where actors have to memorize dialogue. I write the scenes where we know everything that's going to happen. There's an outline of about seven or eight pages, and then we improvise it. Larry David Everyone should play their role in tearing down the wall of hatred. Lalu Prasad Yadav On November 15th, 2008, in over 300 cities, 4,000 children were adopted in one day. Nia Vardalos In nighttime series, the actor gets billing up front on every episode. Michael Zaslow Rock stars wanting to write is even worse than wanting to act in movies, right? Evan Dando Thus much for thy assurance know; a hollow friend is but a hellish foe. Nicholas Br

I do remember how it was to be poor. I do remember that in my

early years, we had to grow and raise all of our food, even our animals. And I remember in my early life, we didn't even have electricity. So it was very, very hard times then. Dolly Parton I love anything really feminine. I love any sort of girly detail - anything with a bow or a heart on it, I'm immediately in love with. Lauren Conrad I don't like being famous - it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse. Valentino Rossi I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid. Terry Bradshaw Music is universal too. Even deaf people like to dance, love rhythm, and can kind of pick it up. Rainn Wilson I strive for an architecture from which nothing can be taken away. Helmut Jahn We meet a lot of people, we drink lots of stuff and have lots of fun. Bon Scott But Fascism cannot continue in a modified form. John T. Flynn I guess I've always lived upside down when I want things I can't have. Tom Waits That's the great thing about b

We are cannibalizing our audience by only giving them regurgitated material. Every movie is either

a remake, a sequel, based on something else. Based on a former television series. Based on a successful videogame. Dean Devlin I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It's by the nature of his deep inner soul... we're required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream. Neil Armstrong It is true that the movie is perhaps my most politically-charged. The story is thrust into motion by the idea of what do you do when your 13 year old daughter comes home pregnant. And not only is she pregnant, but she wants to keep the baby. Todd Solondz Character may almost be called the most effective means of persuasion. Aristotle I have never taken more than two weeks to record an album throughout my career. Ginger Baker I've done it all. Barbara Bush I'm not a loner at all. Hugh Jackman Who is ready to settle for five minutes when three hours does nicely? Jackie Collins It's clear that t

The idea that human beings have taken a few steps closer toward asserting control over

the Earth's climate is likely to strike you as a really bad idea. Jeff Goodell Being a kid and growing up is such a cool part of life. Devon Werkheiser All right, every day ain't going to be the best day of your life, don't worry about that. If you stick to it you hold the possibility open that you will have better days. Wendell Berry A kitten is in the animal world what a rosebud is in the garden. Robert Southey Just be comfortable with who you are. Chris Pratt With my songs I tried to prove that there is love. Nana Mouskouri I decided I am not going to say things I do not mean anymore. Brian McKnight Good things come, and I'm not just referring to riding the buses. Lionel Blue I'm a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity, and respect. Katy Perry Snooki and Honey Boo Boo. These are big celebrities in the U.S. You want to throw up. Andre Leon Talley

There is no greater example of government overreach and unrestrained liberalism than 'Obamacare.' It is

so deeply flawed and such a clear and present threat to our economic stability that there is no way to fix it. Tommy Thompson Get to know the real you, rather than try to look like or dress like those around you. Catie Curtis I don't really relate to myself as The Girl in the Magazine. Which is dangerous for me, too, sometimes, because I don't think all the time, 'Well, look to see if people are following me home.' Sometimes I'm a little bit more free than maybe I should be. Kirsten Dunst I have yet to write that one song that defines my career. Sheryl Crow We make mistakes, we have our faults, and God knows some of us have more than our share, but when danger threatens and duty calls, we go smiling to our own funeral. James Larkin If you would have a good wife, marry one who has been a good daughter. Thomas Fuller I dig science fiction, though it was never really my thing. Yancy Butler People shouldn't stay married because of the kids. That

There are a lot better musicians than me out there that just haven't had the

luck to fall into everything like I have. Glenn Tipton The Iraqis have become invested in their nationhood. Joe Biden All the men in my life have been two things: an epic and an epidemic. Ethel Waters Tennis lets you talk while you're playing. Jane Kaczmarek I resisted being an actor for some time. Henry Hopper All this talk about inspiration and moment is nonsense. M. F. Husain I'm proud of being Hispanic. Lisa Guerrero I'm not gonna shoot anyone with the pellet gun... Not unless I have to! Adam Savage There can be no one best way of organizing a business. Joanne Woodward You have to feel that music. You just can't play it sterilely. Tito Jackson

I'd like to do interesting indie films mixed with big, high-paying commercial blockbusters. 'One for

you, one for me,' is what they say. Rhys Wakefield Be patient, my soul: thou hath suffered worse than this. Thomas Holcroft He who can be, and therefore is, another's, and he who participates in reason enough to apprehend, but not to have, is a slave by nature. Aristotle I'm interested in everthing but passionate about nothing. Jeanne Calment My mom just wants to make sure that my heart is always in whatever I do and I'm in things for the right reasons. Kevin Durant As far as natural ability, I was always athletic. Troy Brown As a comedian, you're kind of like a blues musician; you have to live a little bit. Kevin Nealon I needed to be myself and find my own identity. Bill Skarsgard Be positive and laugh at everything. Alexandra Roach I love telling stories, and am almost entirely unable to keep a secret. Ben Macintyre

These days I settle for feeling only 85 percent sure about most things, most of

the time. I believe this is keeping me sane, and I also believe that it's keeping me human. In fact, I'm 85 percent sure of it. Elizabeth Gilbert There are few better measures of the concern a society has for its individual members and its own well being than the way it handles criminals. Ramsey Clark The experience of testifying and the aftermath have changed my life. Anita Hill But it took me awhile to figure out Christine at this age, you know.

Marilu Henner The way I played the game, the way I live my life, is very emotional. Brett Favre

Perhaps my favourite story is 'Le Passe-Muraille' by Marcel Ayme. It's about a guy who

wakes up with a weird faculty that means he can walk through walls. He's a very shy clerk, and he uses it to get revenge, or vent his frustration. Michel Gondry I think I've got some more big plays left in me. Victor Cruz Building technical systems involves a lot of hard work and specialized knowledge: languages and protocols, coding and debugging, testing and refactoring. Jesse James Garrett In this bright future you can't forget your past. Bob Marley Imagine a part of the U.S.A., from which the U.S.A. started - where is the cradle of your history?

Ulrich Beck I can afford to say what I wish. J. Paul Getty For a romantic comedy to be three hours long, that's longer than most marriages. David Fincher It's kinda all about image. Bam Margera

When I go on stage man I just want people to have fun, I don't

want people to think about their problems, I want people to get energy and nutrition and food from that so they can go back into the real world and work on their problems. Jon Fishman I always say what's on my mind. No need to second guess with me. Joy Fielding They say that if I win that I'll take away benefits, but the only one who has expropriated things from you is this government. After visiting all around our Venezuela, I don't have a doubt that we will win. Henrique Capriles Radonski Everything is beautiful, all that matters is to be able to interpret. Camille Pissarro So, Japan as a country has lost its vigor; it feels very much closed in for various reasons. Naoto Kan Solidarity is an attitude of resistance, I suppose, or it should be. Christopher Hitchens I never was a very good singer. Jackson Browne Oh, I'm a big-mouth. I said a lot of things. Sean Penn I don't want to jump through hoops for people. Nikki Sixx I want to emphasi

So I wanted to explore all points of view of that, not just the girl's

but his point of view as well. Only by directing it could I explore all the points of view. Andrew McCarthy Writing is like prostitution. First you do it for love, and then for a few close friends, and then for money. Moliere Meditation changes your character. Henepola Gunaratana I was born and raised in southern Utah. Ally Condie People who express suicidal feelings are least likely to act on them. Sinead O'Connor My philosophy is very simple. To feel young, you must work as long as you can. Dino De Laurentiis Anti-parent music seems to be all the pop-rock market wants. Amity Shlaes Domain names and websites are Internet real estate. Marc Ostrofsky Christmas is a stocking stuffed with sugary goodness. Mo Rocca The only thing that I have is the truth, so the only thing I fear is a lie. Laurieann Gibson

I think the thing I've always tried to do is - and I didn't plan

it, it just started to come out that way - is try to make challenging music that flirts with accessibility. Trent Reznor In violation of the Habeas Corpus Act and the fundamental laws of our constitution these men have never been brought to trail or even allowed to see a lawyer. John Amery I don't think anybody ever thought about the CIA meddling in internal affairs. The shock of the President's death called for an immediate investigation. It actually lay in the jurisdiction of Texas. John Sherman Cooper I'm not buying a boat because of writing skits. Jason Sudeikis Real men change diapers! Nick Cannon Oh no, the dead have risen and they're voting Republican. Yeardley Smith There's always a germ of truth in just about everything. Jim Lehrer Men's wear is all about tailoring. Tim Gunn You can only be lucky if you have a place to record. Edwin Starr Everyone thinks that 'Chinatown' is the best screenplay. I'm not sure it is.

Watching an adaptation of your novel can be a violent experience: seeing your old jokes

suddenly thrust at you can be alarming. But I started to enjoy 'Money' very quickly, and then I relaxed. Martin Amis Well, I've been painting for years. I just started doing a lot more in the last couple. Robyn Hitchcock I'm just a human being that is in touch with myself. And I'm honest with myself. And I really, at the end of the day, don't care what people say. I never cared about what people say. Criss Angel I can multitask like crazy. I'm riddled with ADD - a blessing and a curse. Glenn Beck I think that President Obama is beginning to realize that a lot of his plans have backfired. Jonathan Krohn Never having alone time is real tough on people.

Ruben Studdard I like music to soothe me. Helen Reddy I should have worried about taking responsibilities for which I

When I think about old Hollywood and the glamour of those days, women like Grace

Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, and Audrey Hepburn were not dressing the way some girls dress today. There was a certain mystery about them, and I feel like that's gone in our industry. Aly Michalka The problem with experiments has always been that human beings make the decisions on whether or not the animals have benefitted from the treatment. James Randi For Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm, 267,300 reserve component service men and women were called to service. Ron Wyden Making music is still what keeps a fire going on in me.

Robert Goulet I like the sitcom, as a structure. Dave Foley The hard work def

Children don't just play any more - they're far too busy learning to fence and

taking extra French classes. In the end, you're actually doing more damage to your children by trying to hot-house them. It's far better to remain a calm parent. Shirley Henderson Ultimately, so much Dr. Seuss is about empowerment. He invites us to disappear into our imagination and then blows the doors off what that can mean. Gary Ross I saw my mother in a different light. We all need to do that. You have to be displaced from what's comfortable and routine, and then you get to see things with fresh eyes, with new eyes. Amy Tan I have fabulous children. Victoria Osteen It was my father who taught me to value myself. He told me that I was uncommonly beautiful and that I was the most precious thing in his life.

Kinsella I'm a little superstitious. Bill Parcells I

My version, of course, is not this flag-waving, let's all get on the Jesus train

and ride out of hell. I'm not that kind of guy. It's an embrace that life is good, worth living and yeah, it's not easy, but there are more pluses than minuses. Billy Corgan If you don't want to be replaced by a machine, don't try to act like one! Arno Penzias The Haiti that has been waiting for help and not moving no longer exists. Enough handouts; we need hands up. Enough aid; we need trade. Michel Martelly I served two tours in Iraq, in the Marine Corps. Josh Mandel I don't believe in auditioning. I'm a bad auditioner.

Mike Lowry I've been judged my whole life. People

Last I looked - and I'm not a candidate - but last time I checked

reading about the Constitution, the Electoral College has nothing to do with parties, has absolutely nothing to do with parties. It's most states are winners take all. Michael Bloomberg You rarely get satisfaction sitting in an easy chair. If you work in a garden on the other hand, and it yields beautiful tomatoes, that's a good feeling. Dan Buettner The assumption is that the right kind of society is an organic being not merely analogous to an organic being, but actually a living structure with appetites and digestions, instincts and passions, intelligence and reason. Herbert Read Most books aren't pure nonfiction or fiction. James Frey I mean, I feel like you get more bees with honey. But that doesn't mean I don't get frustrated in my life. Beyonce Knowles Only he deserves power who every day justifies it. Dag Hammarskjold Man shall find his anchorage in self-recognition. Louis Sullivan I aimed at the Archduke. I do not remember what I thought

When certain branches of the economy become obsolete, as in the case of the steel

industry, not only do jobs disappear, which is obviously a terrible social hardship, but certain cultures also disappear. Peter L. Berger Look, I don't dispute that the deficit has increased.

Dan Castellaneta Blessed is he who talks in circles, for he shall become a big wheel. Frank Dane Cinema is a world of imagination.

Once you achieve one goal, you should be looking forward to trying to build onto

the next thing, and not just getting comfortable with what you're doing. LL Cool J Whenever culture has gone through a radical change, as ours has - from industrial age to information age - there are people who will deny that things have changed; they resist it and refuse to change.

unnecessary expenses for the sole purpose of preventing the discharge of our debts and the abolition of taxes. Robert Walpole Publishing is in a kind of Jurassic age. Paulo Coelho I'd rather be biblically correct than politically correct. Mark Batterson I like going to the gym every day because I'm in physiotherapy every day.

Nick Cave Children enhance you. Melanie Griffith I can't get enough of 'Call of Duty.' I'm the oldest guy who plays on PlayStation. Steve Jones

We shot on location in our very first weeks, in our very first shows. I

would like to go on location again, Hawaii would be good!! But normally, we tape five days a week in the studio starting at about 8:00 a.m. and continuing until about 8:00 p.m. Juliet Mills I don't think for a second that I'm the best at anything, but I know I'm really good at quite a lot of things because I work hard. Martine McCutcheon I'm not a fan almost anywhere of announcing to the enemy of what I'm going to do. Tommy Franks William Packard surely must be one of the great editors of our time. James Dickey I am a walking piece of art every day, with my dreams and my ambitions forward at all times in an effort to inspire my fans to lead their life in that way.

Dave Attell I love to wear boots - and shoes, I don't like at all. Reba McEntire I prefer t

Living in Cape Breton, it's really all about fiddle music, so it's not like there

were other instruments out there that tempted me and it was like I had to decide which one. It was automatically fiddle, because it's the predominant instrument in Cape Breton Island. Natalie MacMaster I worked with the world's greatest talents and then went home to the world's greatest woman. It was, and is, a great life. Perry Como Weight is just not a hot button. In fact, during my life, it probably should have been on my radar screen a bit more. I look back at work photos and am shocked. Was I eating the people I was interviewing?! Good Lord, I was big. Hoda Kotb I like playing dark, offbeat, quirky characters. Mischa Barton They claim this mother of ours, the Earth, for their own use, and fence their neighbors away from her, and deface her with their buildings and their refuse. Sitting Bull If you say three things in a row that make sense, people will vote for you. Gordon Bethune Peace through strength works; but the flip side is war invited by weakne

I'm better when I'm busy. I am happier. I am a bit useless when I'm

not busy. I start thinking too much, which is never a good thing. When I'm busy I have a better perspective on what really matters - the priorities. Richard Coyle Sentimentality is a form of fatigue. Leonora Carrington I like documentaries because there's nothing to nitpick or criticize about scenes if they aren't just right. It's about honesty and real-life circumstances coming out. Granted it can be swayed by how people tell that story, but overall, I like it because it is true. Steven Yeun It doesn't make any sense... that's why I trust it! Kate Winslet Once again I stopped listening to the news this week. Donella Meadows If you are not serious, people will sense it. Bela Lugosi There are so many great songs yet to sing. Alison Krauss Yeah, I think speculation keeps things really interesting. Adam Lambert I can't not be who I am. Randy Owen Don't ask me to put up a shelf, but I love engineering. Bruce Dickinson

It became much more complicated politically to work with psychedelics because of the unsupervised experimentation

with psychedelics, particularly among young people. Stanislav Grof Whenever I finish a book, I start with a blank slate and never have ideas lined up. Erik Larson Negation is the mind's first freedom, yet a negative habit is fruitful only so long as we exert ourselves to overcome it, adapt it to our needs; once acquired it can imprison us. Emile M. Cioran The European nations take climate change very seriously. Donella Meadows The idea that you can make love and not war really is pretty neat. That thing in Korea, the thing in Israel - that's all over the world. There must be a new way of thinking. F. Murray Abraham I have my mother's hips. The minute I eat it, it ends up on my hips. Robert Herjavec Men are every bit as gendered as women. Jackson Katz I think it's fun to have work that you can relate to, that you can feel like is meaningful. Joan Cusack I'm always having to be told to brush my hair. Lena Dunham The most creative people have

The very damaging, frightening part of postpartum is the lack of perspective and the lack

of priority and understanding what is really important. Brooke Shields You are right, but the weakness does not come from the millions of Muslims in the world. They do not mind being radical, they have no fear to speak out and to protest and to jihad. Abu Bakar Bashir I loved downers, almost any kind. Loved the colors of them. Loved them yellow... I did. I would just have a bouquet in my hands at night. Rosemary Clooney Happiness is only real when shared. Christopher McCandless I design to make women feel confident and beautiful.

To be able to hold all four majors - the Masters, U.S. Open, British Open,

PGA - all concurrently I think is the Grand Slam. But a lot of people have a different opinions on that. People think you have to win it in the same calendar year. Tiger Woods I don't like this idea of Method. I come from that school, but what I was taught was that it's your imagination. You do your homework, and you use your imagination. Mark Ruffalo I'm sure there's a right way and there's a wrong way. The bottom line is you have to do what you think is right. Mike Singletary My hunger is always there. Usain Bolt I see drawings and pictures in the poorest of huts and the dirtiest of corners. Vincent Van Gogh Some people would like me to be round again. Karl Lagerfeld Most people miss the great part mental outlook plays in this game. Billy Martin To vanquish without peril is to triumph without glory. Pierre Corneille I love designing dresses and tops. Serena Williams I never know how to get off the phone, so I'm terribly admiring of p

Humour is a fine line to walk in poetry, as in fiction. I just think

it's harder to write. It's harder to keep the respect of the reader too. George Murray Our idea with starting Stripe was to build better payments technology for people building things on the web. John Collison I like writing for individuals with really rich musical personalities. Edgar Meyer Social peace requires reciprocity. Ralph Peters I'm an athlete. I go out there and fight my heart out.

Jesse Metcalfe I've been singing since I was nine or ten. Kelli O'Hara

I think really what needs to happen is the people of the United States need

to stand up and say, 'Oil is an energy model from the past. It doesn't work for the planet, it doesn't work for the people, it never has and it never will.' Julia Butterfly Hill Before even Court Grip, I just wanted to be a part of a brand that I felt that listened to the athlete and really catered to the athlete, and gave us what we were looking for. Dwyane Wade People don't appreciate music any more. They don't adore it. They don't buy vinyl and just love it. They love their laptops like their best friend, but they don't love a record for its sound quality and its artwork. Laura Marling I'm a martial arts buff, so anything martial arts. Noah Hathaway Few there are that will endure a true friend. Henry George Bohn I've always been under the radar. Buddy Rice The commission members themselves were never briefed on Able Danger. Curt Weldon You can't smear acrylics, you know, it dries too fast. Howard Finster I don't

It is tragic that people who are incarcerated are unable to vote. They are probably

the most important voices to listen to because they can tell us what we need to change. Margaret Cho In contrast to what most prosecutors do, we try to treat all individuals with complete fairness. We do not go out and hold press conferences and the like. Ken Starr I'm doing a lot of things in Africa. I've formed a company with two friends of mine called Made In Africa and we are doing a lot of important things across the continent. Ozwald Boateng I sang the songs in 'The Doors'. Val Kilmer Men get to be a mixture of the charming mannerisms of the women they have known. F. Scott Fitzgerald Genius is talent set on fire by courage.

George Grosz I will say nothing to an actor that cannot be translated into action. Elia Kazan Money just draws flies. Mahalia Jackson

Soon the digital divide will not be between the haves and the have-nots. It will

be between the know-hows and the non-know-hows. Howard Rheingold You can win, it'll just cost you some money. Bobby Heenan All perceiving is also thinking, all reasoning is also intuition, all observation is also invention. Rudolf Arnheim Remember, folks, I am a comedian, not a journalist. Kathy Griffin Man does not live by soap alone; and hygiene, or even health, is not much good unless you can take a healthy view of it or, better still, feel a healthy indifference to it. Gilbert K. Chesterton There is really a whole new appreciation when you leave and then come back. Hunter Tylo I can't speak for anyone else, but in my case, I sort of fell into acting. Teresa Palmer Vigorous independent and critical media are indispensable in a democracy. Geoff Mulgan Spanish football is very good but every year the same teams win the league. Royston Drenthe A dose of humility goes a long way in life and in politics. Ron Fournier

I got to live out my 11-year-old fantasies - I got to go on stage

with Green Day. Billie Joe called my name from the stage. 'Dookie' was the first album I ever bought. I covered the whole of 'Nimrod' and he'd heard it. That was like the 11-year-old girl dreamed. Florence Welch I read everything and anything. I love books. Gail Porter My mum was never too keen on TV, so we kids all went to the library and got books out. Right from the start, I loved the works of Mark Twain. Every time I read about Tom Sawyer, I'd go out and do something low-level naughty, just like him. John Grisham No American should be forced to choose between their spouse and their country. Andrew Sullivan People don't know how hard it is to have your own business. Suge Knight Cable penetrates 70 percent of American audiences now. Tom Brokaw Cliches are what make you understand something. Matthew Vaughn I feel like I'm not smart enough to answer the questions I'm asked. Bret Easton Ellis I'm human, just like anybody el

You do not have to be an economist to know that putting up the cost

of employing someone is a pretty barking thing to do when you're trying to get out of a recession. David Cameron I remember my father checking on a mountain kid who hadn't been coming to school. My father had this beautiful Harris tweed overcoat. He came back with a knife cut all down one side. The parents had told him it was none of his business why their son wasn't going to school. Charles Frazier Married or unmarried, young or old, poet or worker, you are still a dreamer, and will one time know, and feel, that your life is but a dream. Donald G. Mitchell Golf course design is exciting. Tom Kite I'm a big Bond fan. Sondre Lerche My job is to score goals. Peter Bondra I thought that ending Glass-Steagall was a mistake. John Gutfreund This is not a time to back away from the principles that this country was founded on. Jeff Bingaman I've fought hard and now I'm weary to the bone. Michael Landon I've always been a rough kid. Ray Kn

Obama has no solutions. Obama has failed the country and its great citizens, and they

don't like it when somebody such as myself speaks the truth about this - it hurts too much. Donald Trump I'm constantly meeting people who said that they cast their first vote for me, or that they cut their eye teeth on the 1972 campaign, or that they didn't vote for me but admire my positions. George McGovern I deal with cultural issues whether they be in the Middle East, Far East, the Orient or the West. You broach questions in the context of their culture and then present Christian answers. Ravi Zacharias If you engage people on a vital, important level, they will respond. Edward Bond One could always do more, faster and cleverer, but democracy has its own rhythm. Lech Walesa Being born in a Christian home does not make you a Christian. E. Stanley Jones Injuries may be forgiven, but not forgotten. Aesop Reality is the scary thing. Not my work, not comedy. Tracy Morgan The first thing I've learned is to trust nobody. Josh Bowman I am tired o

When I was nine, I had this girlfriend and we used to have running races

in the park. I wanted to be like Superman and fly in and rescue her. Orlando Bloom There is no such thing as a perfect player; it doesn't exist. Marat Safin You'll never get rich by working for your boss. Felix Dennis If you're lucky, you go from being a movie fan to a movie maker. Kevin Smith I don't really have a lot of hobbies. I listen to a lot of spoken word. I get books on tape. Benny Green I never expect to see a perfect work from an imperfect man. Alexander Hamilton You don't have to play masculine to be a strong woman. Mary Elizabeth Winstead See that's a goal that I think it's very good in the debate to find out who the person is. Geraldine Ferraro The Irish and British, they love satire, it's a large part of the culture. Ben Nicholson Philosophy likes to keen common sense on the run. Mason Cooley

Knowing that Gene and Morgan were playing those roles made it much easier to put

the script together-we knew who we were writing it for. It took some mystery away. Stephen Hopkins I have some ideas on how to fix that. They're not very good ideas, but at least they're ideas! Adam Savage I like 'Shameless.' The first season I just watched it straight through. I literally didn't get up. I just had to finish it. Navid Negahban I think it's a mistake to ever look for hope outside of one's self. Arthur Miller You have to think there's a reason for everything. When a door closes another door opens. Chris Daughtry Man has demonstrated that he is master of everything except his own nature. Henry Miller The Nation needs to take a new approach to our energy problems. Bobby Jindal A purpose, an intention, a design, strikes everywhere even the careless, the most stupid thinker. David Hume You never know how films are going to do and it is daunting if I think about it. Matthew Macfadyen I understood that the will could n

Writing 'Fast Life' has been an incredible experience. It's something totally different from what I

am used to. Joe Jonas A new release of Plan 9 happened in June, and at about the same time a new release of the Inferno system, which began here, was announced by Vita Nuova. Dennis Ritchie Boxing is a sport. We allow each other to hit each other, but I'm not treating my opponent like my enemy. We're doing a job to entertain people. Manny Pacquiao I love the long grass coming up to meet the willows. Jilly Cooper At least when it's in French, I won't know what the heck they're saying. Frank Robinson I don't know how many millions of photographs have been taken of me. Boris Becker My biggest loss was the Olympics. I just can't forget losing. I never will. Mark Spitz There are advantages to being a star though - you can always get a table in a full restaurant. Ingrid Bergman I thought, I need to be more cautious about my choices - it reflects on who I am. Heath Ledger I have been going to the gym instead of the bar, trying to get back

Ric Flair is one of the most entertaining guys to sit down with and by

entertaining I don't mean he has catchy phrases, but that he's been through so much and his experiences are so genuine I could listen to him talk all day. John Cena You don't usually get treated unfairly. You usually get what you deserve. Dale Murphy I owe 'Jericho' my whole time in America, really. It was a fantastic group of people to work with.

Katharine Hepburn Tragedies make you realize how selfish you are. Tony Dorsett I think Robitussin is way underrated. Colin Hanks Everybody knows everything about all the teams now. Roger Milla I'm not afraid of O.J. now. Kato Kaelin

My mom's a concert pianist, so she started teaching me when I was around seven.

When I was eight, I started writing my own songs, and kinda started putting piano and singing together. But I'm trained classically, which is a big influence on me, I think. Birdy I have a really hard time writing my own lyrics for this record, because one, I had to write so many and also I was kind of perplexed by the idea of how I was going to sing and play... because at that time, we hadn't really thought about asking someone else. Kim Gordon High school isn't necessarily the best time of your life. Jenna Ushkowitz Every time I release an album my old record company releases another one.

Godfrey Reggio You won't do any more housework? Then you go to the bin. Kate Millett All riches have their origin in mind. Wealth is in ideas - not money. Robert Collier Isn't that

I'm learning to hunt with rifles, because if you think about it, hunting gets you

the healthiest meat - organic, free-range food. It's a totally yuppie spin on what I thought was kind of a redneck occupation. Sarah Wayne Callies The key to good grilling is to recognize that you are setting yourself up to cook in a whole new environment. This is actually one of the main purposes of grilling - to get yourself outside. Barton Seaver I listen like mad to any conversation taking place next to me just trying to hear why this is funny. Women's restrooms are especially great. I wash my hands twice waiting for people to come in and start talking. Lynda Barry Happiness is a very small desk and a very big wastebasket. Robert Orben In Australia, there is a very famous show called 'Home and Away.' I was cast on that at 15. The day I started filming, my life changed.

Look, if Givenchy is going to lend you a dress, I'm not going to turn

it down. I would wear that dress to just go out and buy a pint of milk if they would lend it to me. Florence Welch I've always loved music. I listen to music the way a lot of actors watch movies. Penn Badgley My theory is that all of Scottish cuisine is based on a dare. Mike Myers The voice of the people is the voice of humbug. William Tecumseh Sherman There is huge demand for artificial intelligence technologies. Yuri Milner Life without idealism is empty indeed. We just hope or starve to death. Pearl S. Buck Memo to White House: Calling voters stupid is not a winning strategy. Karl Rove I don't know why I ever come in here. The flies get the best of everything. W. C. Fields Andy Warhol defined Pop Art. Jeffrey Deitch As soon as I realized you could be funny as a job, that was the job I wanted. Seth Rogen

I don't agree with superstitious routines, but there are a couple of things I'll always

do before performing. I'll get together with the band and chill out, and then, just before I go on stage, I'll always check my flies. James Blunt With artists of my own generation there was at first no group identity - and never a clique. Kenneth Noland Nixon in 1968, unlike Obama 2008, was elected as a minority president with only 43 percent of the vote. Yet, in 1972, he won what, in some measures, was the most lopsided election in American history with 61 percent. John Podhoretz There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact. Arthur Conan Doyle Five guys on the court working together can achieve more than five talented individuals who come and go as individuals. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar If a person is treated like a patient, they are apt to act like one. Frances Farmer I have to live in the truth that this is who I am. That's what I need to focus on. Elisabeth Hasselbeck What Democratic congressmen do to their women staffers, Republican congressmen d

I'm so in love with the United States. Not as a patriot. I'm in love

with America like it's my first girlfriend. The geography, the people, the smell, the touch, the taste, the gas stations. I'm madly in love with America. Vincent Gallo I'm a firm believer that lighting affects mood, and twinkly lights on strings bring something magical to occasions ranging from concerts to weddings, though I'm fond of using them as year-round home decor. Erin Morgenstern I'm a neat freak... It seems to me that an orderly desk is reflective of an orderly and organized mind, you know? Jann Wenner Well, air-conditioning is not a good thing. James Dyson I'm skeptical of any mission that has advertisers at its centerpiece. Jeff Bezos I grew up cursing a lot. It felt natural. My parents told me to stop. Adam Sandler I'm a jock and I'm an athlete, and that's what I love to do. Marion Jones The only thing I have to go by is what my mother and father told me, how I was brought up. Madeleine Albright Liver is my number

Some fine day, Democrats may figure out how to get on the right side of

the value divide - how to define America as a place of the common good and not a playground of the strong. Todd Gitlin If the technical innovations of the Impressionists led merely to a more accurate representation of nature, it was perhaps of not much value in enlarging their powers of expression. Edward Hopper Kids need to open up to their parents. And parents should realize that when kids are pushing you away, that's the time to really step in. Alexa Vega There's no term to the work of a scientist. Walter Reisch It took them only an instant to cut of that head, but it is unlikely that a hundred years will suffice to reproduce a singular one. Antoine Lavoisier The worst time to have a heart attack is during a game of charades. Demetri Martin Amy Sedaris makes me laugh harder than anybody. Andy Cohen It was my care to make my life illustrious not by words more than by deeds. Sophocles A lot of my work is about sales. And it was about being independent f

We may yet work up to some serious shooting war, or maybe some acts of

urban genocide committed with rogue nuclear weapons. But if that were the case, why would we call that '9/11'? If Washington disappeared in a mushroom cloud, we'd give that huge event a different name. Bruce Sterling The only thing that I know is that, growing up, I came across stumbling blocks, and I always said to myself, 'If I ever get into a position to do something about this, I would like to, so that somebody does not deal with what I went through.' Chandra Wilson I hate it when people tell you you're good when you know that you're not. Aidan Gillen The world's not a very comfortable place if you have a nightmare to face. Tommy Lee Jones I'm not giving up my history and what I've done in my music because I love it and I'm very proud of it. I just want to open it up for more people. LL Cool J I was really into punk. I was 11 years old; I had a blue mohican. Ben Lovett I go to Costco every weekend. It's my favorite p

When we started making electronic music I imagined that the reaction we got from the

rock musicians must have been similar to the one the beat groups got from people like my dad. Trevor Horn The only honest and generous thing for me to do is to give people myself. That's all I've got as an artist, so I want to do that in an unflinching way. Charlie Kaufman Because I like theatre and I love a challenge. With 'ZEBRA!' I've found a new Australian play where I can create a character first - that's what I live to do. Bryan Brown In moderating, not satisfying desires, lies peace. Ben Hecht If you don't generate tension in the film to begin with... you can't really make a purse out of a sow's ear, you know. Dennis Weaver I don't like pretentious films or pretentious people. Zoe Kazan In 1939 I hadn't even realized that this was an immigration problem. Leslie Charteris We are very proud of the diverse talents within the Franklin Mint's own walls. Lynda Resnick If the fool would persist in his folly he woul

At the end of the day, audiences just want to laugh and be entertained. They

want to escape from their reality, and that's why we make movies, to get people to escape from the realities. Brett Ratner But, in the end, even a song that's as politically bland as Blowin in the Wind, you probably wouldn't get up and sing that now, whereas some of Bob Dylan's love songs that were contemporary with that, like say Girl from the North Country, you can still get up an play now. Billy Bragg Keep your sense of self; don't get caught up in what people want you to be. LeAnn Rimes I just turned 66, and I'm starting to work again. Lee Majors When I have clarified and exhausted a subject, then I turn away from it, in order to go into darkness again. Carl Friedrich Gauss I think I was always obsessed with esthetics. bell hooks The older I get, the less I suffer fools gladly. Kathleen Turner Death is one moment, and life is so many of them. Tennessee Williams Be generous and you can be the best person who ever lived. Albert Brooks

In terms of my free time, I really don't have much. The time I do

have, I enjoy being domestic and spending time with my girlfriend, hiking and playing tennis. Corey Stoll Yet the home courses are where you spend dozens to hundreds of hours a year. You must choose them well. Joe Henderson In the last camp they all ate grass, until the authorities forbade them to pull it up. They were accustomed to having the fruits of their little communal gardens stolen by the guards, after they had done all the work; but at the last camp everything was stolen. Martha Gellhorn All the guys called the Olympic Village a high-class Boy Scout camp. Johnny Weissmuller Buy the best you can find or afford and don't over manipulate it. If I cook a scallop, the best praise you can give me is that it tastes like a scallop. Tom Colicchio All I do is sit at home and play guitar. That's seriously what I do. Taylor Momsen I never really sympathised with Peter Parker. Jamie Bell With classical ballet you are literally injuring yourself. Marina Abramov

The second we see somebody on the street or meet someone, we make snap judgments

about them, about who they are and why we wouldn't necessarily sit with them or why we would or what's cool or not cool. Max Cannon My best girlfriends are the girls I went to college with at UCLA. Beth Behrs God tests and proves us by the common occurrences of life. It is the little things which reveal the chapters of the heart. Ellen G. White If I am incompetent, I am useless, the people of India will see that. Rahul Gandhi In China anything less than 6% growth is a recession meaning that it also causes financial problems and it's disruptive and it's a problem. Ray Dalio I've never really thought of myself as a singer. Charlie Fink New Zealand's Daniel Vettori is a very good bowler. Sachin Tendulkar Better the rudest work that tells a story or records a fact, than the richest without meaning. John Ruskin I originally just wanted to be an artist. Daniel Clowes Eating lighter makes you lighter. No one can wave a magic wand. Martine Mc

We wanted to enjoy what we were doing and we had business things we had

to straighten out and personnel problems and it sort of took a little time to do it. Debbie Harry All I say is that I don't go out with famous men. Samantha Mumba L.A. is always great. There's something special about L.A. And New York, for me, because it's home. There's nothing quite like walking onstage at Madison Square Garden. Dave Gahan I had a wonderful childhood, but I was a wanderer from year one. Maureen Forrester It's a rare person who wants to hear what he doesn't want to hear. Dick Cavett If we make anything that lasts, it outlives us. Jeanette Winterson It's the clothes that influence the music I'm going to play. Graham Coxon What I really want to do is be in the forefront of game development once again myself. Shigeru Miyamoto I just want to do what I do best, and that's fight. I love it. Mike Tyson The only true love is love at first sight; second sight dispels it. Israel Zangwill

I wanted to be a football player. Football is a sport that I love, but

the more I started playing basketball, the more I started dreaming of playing in the NBA. Dwyane Wade I have learned to live each day as it comes, and not to borrow trouble by dreading tomorrow. It is the dark menace of the future that makes cowards of us. Dorothy Dix The reason I started writing movies was because I kept getting parts that I just kind of stepped into. I didn't have to do a lot of work and I ended up getting sort of bored. Scott Caan I never want to possibly take another life in my hands. Nicole Richie You might call me a tech intermediary. I know how to talk to the people in Silicon Valley and then take that information and explain it to everyone else. Marc Ostrofsky I don't know if I make the best gay films. Ang Lee If people hate me they hate me. Uwe Boll Suddenly playing the charming bad guy was my thing. Ray Liotta I was in chemical jail.

Chaz Bono To eat steak rare... represents both a nature and a morality. Roland Barthes When we started, a lot of bands sounded really different from one another. David Byrne We can either allow our youth to shoot baskets or watch them continue to shoot people. Henry Cisneros

What we need to do in this PC world is forget about unanimity of speech

and unanimity of thought and we need to concentrate on being respectful of those people with whom we disagree. Ben Carson I write because it makes God happy that I write. I sing because it makes God happy that I sing. And if it makes God's people happy, then all the better. But if it fails to do so, it's probably my fault. Jamey Johnson It's not so easy for us when we play teams who have a different mindset, like Chelsea or Inter Milan, because they have the intention of trying to stop us rather than playing a game that is more attractive for the spectators to enjoy. Lionel Messi You cannot help little men by tearing down big men. William J. H. Boetcker I was at that time like a fledgling swallow living high up in a niche in the eaves, who from time to time peeps out over the top of its nest with its little bright eyes. Pierre Loti When I was a screenwriter, I was doing it for mercenary reasons. James Frey The image you see of me out in public is really di

I knew all about Edward VIII's abdication, George VI becoming the king and having a

stammer, but nothing about how he got rid of it. Geoffrey Rush A good example of how it must have been is today's world of conducting, which is still utterly dominated by men, and the prejudice the few female conductors have to battle even today is astounding. Lara St. John I'm not too interested in books about India. Beatrice Wood Poetry comes alive to me through recitation. Natalie Merchant In high school I had sex with girls quite a few times. They were straight women who I convinced to jump in the sack with me. Portia de Rossi Once you believe that God is speaking directly to you, there is no discussion.

Katy Perry It bothers me that people who should know better believe a glossy magazine fantasy. Christoph Waltz

So, from a very young age, my mom tells me that I wanted to be

Michael J. Fox. I didn't want to be an actor. I just wanted to be Michael J. Fox for awhile. And then, I realized that he was an actor, so I pursued that. Patrick J. Adams I get a lot of kids distracted. Sometimes they got to go cover left field, but they're over here talking to me, getting an autograph. Pedro Martinez Contrary to the utopian rhetoric of social media enthusiasts, the Internet often makes the jump from deliberation to participation even more difficult, thwarting collective action under the heavy pressure of never-ending internal debate. Evgeny Morozov Mr. Attlee is a very modest man. Indeed he has a lot to be modest about. Winston Churchill I don't think that jazz, as any kind of an art form, has any permanence attached to it, apart from the practitioners of it. Norman Granz What I keep searching for in movies, more and more, is the right gravity. Lorenzo di Bonaventura I like plays, movies, everything. It doesn't matter. Michael Dorn

As free citizens in a political democracy, we have a responsibility to be interested and

involved in the affairs of the human community, be it at the local or the global level. Paul Wellstone The American people are extraordinarily comfortable, affluent, and secure. It's easy for us to make the argument that God's purpose is being fulfilled through history and through the rise of American power. And to some degree, it probably is. Walter Russell Mead During this period, Japan's peaceful commercial relations were successively obstructed, primarily by the American rupture of commercial relations, and this was a grave threat to the survival of Japan. Hideki Tojo Every time we had a raid, I'd get a boyfriend out of it. Cynthia Payne When I walk down the boardwalk, people stop me and say, 'Oh, your house is the one that glows.' Mary Matalin I never thought of myself as like, a funny person. Lena Dunham Self-defence is Nature's eldest law. John Dryden What I tried to do is deliver movies that have worked for me more than once. Cl

One of the reasons a strategist never sits in a stadium and gets caught up

in the crowds - and never sits watching a debate in person - is because the vast majority of American voters watch these political events on television. Ed Rollins At that time, I feel sad, and I feel no one knows how hard I work and how many tears. They only know the score. At that time, I feel very lonely because no one understands since they haven't been world No. 1 before. Yani Tseng I've not sat with my agent going: 'Where is the next hopeless girl I can play?' They just come along. Laura Carmichael Satire doesn't effect change. P. J. O'Rourke As I see it, most major philanthropists have been bullied into giving. They feel social pressure to give. It has become a cost of doing business. Steven Levitt So I decided on science when I was in college. Sally Ride Dullness is the only crime for which an editor ought to be hung. Josephus Daniels We may have to have a geo-political regrouping or major geo-political changes. John Keegan I was

I've done literally 100, 150 different characters. Some of them have only appeared for a

line or three. But the point is, every sound I can make has been harvested. Hank Azaria Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great. Victor Hugo Work that mobilizes you 24 hours per day and makes you responsible to all of the people in the country is worth propelling yourself through jetlag and uncomfortable news for. Dmitry Medvedev Genius, like truth, has a shabby and neglected mien. Edward Dahlberg There is a lot of struggle in being an actor; you need so much emotional strength, no matter what level of stardom you have, that it's nice to have something steady. Sanaa Lathan Motion is tranquility. Stirling Moss Aerosmith is such a powerful band; I mean, it's like a steam locomotive. Joe Perry The only theatre I do is my own. Somehow, my life is the only life that I can play. Marina Abramovic I love little Peter Pan collars and little puff sleeves. Busy Philipps I love dill pi

The designer must understand that form does not follow function nor does form follow a

production process. For every use and for every production process there are innumerable equally attractive solutions. Eva Zeisel They're very, uh, you know, I don't come from the suburbs and a jolly, Disney type of lifestyle. I come from something totally different. And they're cool and bare minimum so it's not always a money issue for me. Shia LaBeouf To be completely honest, I didn't know 'Twilight' was a book. Kellan Lutz I believe there is a direct correlation between love and laughter. Yakov Smirnoff I have my own religion. I'm sort of one-quarter Baptist, one-quarter Catholic, one-quarter Jewish. Tom T. Hall If you're not buying recycled products, you're not really recycling. Ed Begley, Jr. Talent and intelligence never yet inoculated anyone against the caprice of the fates. J. K. Rowling For a while it was hard for me to say no to work. Renee Fleming In real life, comedians aren't funny. Michael Showalter &#

My mother would thump me sharply on the head with a thimble or a spoon

if I became too noisy with the whistle when I was playing I was a steamboat captain. She had no sense of the dignity of command. Lincoln Steffens They did is sent me down Clearwater, Florida, and they said to me, Jessica, I need you to make Jim Bakker feel better. Jessica Hahn I just want people to remember me like I remember Buster Keaton. When they talk about Buster Keaton or Gene Kelly, people say, 'Ah yes, they good.' Maybe one day, they remember Jackie Chan that way. Jackie Chan A good, sympathetic review is always a wonderful surprise. Joyce Carol Oates It's nice to have a crush on someone. It feels like you're alive, you know? Scarlett Johansson If you wear short skirts you get your femininity back. Heather Mills People are looking for fame or a focus, and I can't provide that. Will Oldham I like to browse in Cartier, Chanel and Gucci and if something special grabs my eye I splash out. Lisa Snowdon I finally said, I can't live bein

There are a lot of new opportunities that are poking their head up in my

future. I've been very fortunate that way, but for right now, what I like is what I'm doing. Gavin MacLeod In France you cannot not have lunch. If you stopped the French from having lunch, you will have a second revolution, I can tell you this. Not going to work - it is part of the French privilege. Christian Louboutin Thrift shopping is really just an extension of me being that same kid and going into a place that's completely unconventional that has really endless possibilities in terms of outfits that you can put together and really just expressing yourself. Macklemore I did theatrical caricatures. Martin Landau One nice thing about growing up Catholic is it makes you open-minded about other people's religions, since ours is nuttier than yours. Rob Sheffield When I was in high school, I was voted most likely to succeed. Sheryl Sandberg I believe I am entitled like any other person to have the presumption of innocence. Peter Slipper I always liked

If there's one thing you can say about my apartment it's that it's constantly evolving,

constantly changing. I think that is the mark of a good apartment; you can never really be done - It's like a proper wardrobe. Lauren Santo Domingo In the past 3-4 years I've developed a habit of keeping numerous small cassette recorders in my house and in a bag with me so that I'm able to commit to tape memory song ideas on a constant basis. Dwight Yoakam I work a seventeen hour day, and I'm personally responsible for 108 staff members in the embassy. Shirley Temple Obviously, you go through a lot of emotional turmoil in a divorce. David Byrne We're all basically made of the same stuff: generosity and selfishness, goodness and greed. Madeleine M. Kunin I consider all my films experiments. Michael Haneke Griffin Bell later apologized to me for that decision. Julian Bond The entire exhibitions industry in the United States of America has filed for bankruptcy. Jeffrey Katzenberg I have many shortcomings. I feel very lucky to have been able to h

Who do I like? I am a big fan of French and Saunders - not

that that they are particularly stand-up I have to say, but I think they have been great for women and they are of themselves just incredibly funny whether they are male or female. Jo Brand Dogs got personality. Personality goes a long way. Quentin Tarantino The piano is the X factor. People have a tough time following the structures when there's no piano there, spelling it out. It makes it more easily understood, particularly to people who don't know as much about music. Branford Marsalis My wife and I were happy for 20 years. Then we met. Rodney Dangerfield I like to regard myself as someone who's capable of critical thought, that is to say, who can evaluate claims. Bill Nye Know how your representatives stand on major national or state issues. Marilyn vos Savant Hero shows you how to solve the problem - yourself. Jet Li Being God would be the ultimate. Macy Gray Remember, tomorrow is promised to no one. Walter Payton Of course it's difficul

Cultural dominance of middle-class norms prevail in middle-class schools with a teacher teaching toward those

standards and with students striving to maintain those standards. James S. Coleman Money is a strange business. People who haven't got it aim it strongly. People who have are full of troubles. Ayrton Senna I'm gonna be a character in a Happy Meal. Claudia Christian Man approaches the unattainable truth through a succession of errors. Aldous Huxley There was a fascinating handmade poster scene in Chicago in the '90s, and I became friends with many of the artists; the posters were often more impressive than the bands. Andrew Bird You just can't take the doctor out of you. Ken Jeong There is more of good nature than of good sense at the bottom of most marriages. Henry David Thoreau We live in an age where the artist is forgotten. He is a researcher. I see myself that way. David Hockney I feel like I'm exactly where I should be. Kate Mara When I see something, I go for it. Jackee Harry

Realism hasn't fallen out of favor with most people, who are interested in people's lives

rather than gymnastics of style or literary trends. It's a certain kind of academic who undervalues realism, largely because it is not amenable to endless exegesis. Vikram Seth There are many, many Christians who practice Buddhism, and they become better and better Christians all the time. Thich Nhat Hanh I try to do everything from the viewpoint of what's best for my kids. I have three kids and two great dads and it's not always easy, but you have to try to be a little selfless and we manage just fine. Kimora Lee Simmons I love France. France is a nice place. Bubba Watson It's the worst when you're kissing someone who's not a good kisser, and you're trying to make it look good, but you feel like you're just working on your own. Drew Barrymore I don't care what anyone says. Lindsay Lohan I always anticipated difficulties in order to avoid scenes. Gloria Swanson I am the worst influence. If you can't handle your vices, then I

Unfortunately, bureaucratic problems at the federal level are

causing many other small Washington companies to be denied federal funding that would help transfer their ideas from their laboratories into our homes and hospitals. Jay Inslee It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand. Michelangelo Communities don't think, don't believe, don't want, don't have needs, don't have interests and don't make decisions. Only individuals have minds that generate desires and needs - and only individuals can make choices and decisions. Harry Browne I wish there were a healthier Republican Party in the state of Oregon. Gordon Smith Today, there are many, many ways to entertain people in one single videogame. And the Internet has made it so easy for people to ask for clues. Shigeru Miyamoto I think beauty comes from within, and society paints a ridiculous picture. Rachel Bilson I was a disinterested student. David Fincher I have a whole fur closet. I'm not afraid of PETA. Johnny Weir If you will r

I have been agreeably disappointed in my idea of the camels. They are far from

unpleasant to ride; in fact, it is much less fatiguing than riding on horseback, and even with the little practice I have yet had, I find it shakes me less. William John Wills I needed to step away from music because the truth was I couldn't be the dad I wanted to be to my kids. My truth was that I could not reconcile the two worlds - the entertainment world and being the dad I wanted to be in the present. You can't substitute time, you just can't. Corey Hart If you were to ask me to pick my favourite author, well, there are so many of them, I'd really just have to say the first names that came to mind, and I'm sure that I'll later think 'Oh, I should have mentioned that one.' Vikram Seth I really feel like it's a travesty to make a child famous. I really do. Joe Rogan If I got $300 million from the California Lottery, the first thing I would do is buy the rights to 'Firefly', make it on my own, and distribute it on the Internet.

I'm not married, I frequently use my debit card to buy things that cost less

than three dollars, and my bedroom is so untidy it looks like vandals ransacked the Anthropologie sale section. I'm kind of a mess. Mindy Kaling The Internal Revenue Service is the real undefeated heavyweight champion. George Foreman You come in off the street, through the doors of the theater. You sit down. The lights go down and the curtain goes up. And you're in another world. Robert Caro Our economy grows from the middle out, not the top down. Michael Nutter It all sounds almost silly, but the fact is that the only way to change a corporate culture is to just change it. Gordon Bethune I was born to a single mom and raised by her and my grandparents. Anthony Foxx I'm glad a genre writer has got a knighthood, but stunned that it was me. Terry Pratchett Our nation must come together to unite. George W. Bush I've been a professional actor for almost 40 years. Ron Perlman I think we have erred on the side of being too conservative so far, to te

Political pandering comes in all shapes and sizes, but every four years the presidential primary

bring us in contact with its purest form - praising ethanol subsidies amid the corn fields of Iowa. John Sununu Under this president, we have a government that has grown too big, too costly and now even more overbearing by forcing religious entities to abandon their beliefs. Marco Rubio They didn't even like Margaret Thatcher but at least there was Margaret Thatcher. There have been women, you know, Sonia Gandhi for heaven's sakes in India. Kate Clinton I just am so tired of really badly written women. It's so boring. Chris O'Dowd Creative things have to sell to get acknowledged as such. Steve Wozniak At my school, Shakespeare wasn't on the syllabus - at least not for me. Kelly Reilly I have always read all the latest cookery books and magazines, from all over the world. Delia Smith If I like a song, I'll just keep playing it, and it never gets old. Bradley Cooper When I dealt with set theory, I could never make it be the music that I wan

The Democrats filibustered something in the Senate when I was eight years old. I don't

remember what it was on and I didn't honestly care when I was eight years old. I cared about the history and the Senate rules. Jonathan Krohn If you only have one shot at writing a headline, there's a lot of pressure. Eli Pariser I enjoy acting now more than I ever have. I've had lots of difficult times when I was younger, but that was all tied up with thwarted ambition. It's hard being a young actor, because you don't realise until later that it's only ever about doing the work. Brian Cox I wanted to go out and experience the fields. Rhona Mitra A government is invigorated when each of us is willing to participate in shaping the future of this nation. Barbara Jordan I secretly want to be a rapper! Rachel Bilson I write to express my thoughts, my feelings. I want people to think. Mattie Stepanek I've worked at a deli, I've worked construction, I've worked a few different jobs. Josh Homme Very few people go into politics to be

The state of emergency and critical nature of the times do not allow me, as

they do not allow anyone, to embark on a blame game. Nicos Anastasiades I think I've seen the first 'RoboCop' like 15 or 20 times. I'm like a kid that way. Joel Kinnaman The assumption that Washington could and would resolve Lehman Brothers without a bankruptcy, as it had Bear Stearns, was the single biggest mistake in the series of mistakes in 2007 and 2008 that led to the financial panic and the ensuing epidemic of job losses. David Malpass It always takes awhile to find out who the characters are. Rene Auberjonois My emotions lose their force when I endeavor to interpret them, and my words seem very inept. Pierre Loti Ibsen was Norwegian by birth, but universal in spirit. Liv Ullmann I'm dealing with things as they come along, and I'm talking about it. Lucinda Williams Study nature, not books. Louis Agassiz Not having a private life is hard. Amber Riley There was nothing wrong with shouting at God. Robert Duvall

I'm a huge Spike Lee fan. I saw 'Do The Right Thing' twice in the

same night when it first came out and had long conversations with all my friends about the issues in it. Joe Cornish We are pushing hard to find quality advertising clients. Ben Nicholson But it seems that the judging maybe they shouldn't at least see the practices all week long. That can taint the way they go into the judging and the outlook of what's going to happen, instead of just watching those four minutes and judging on those minutes alone. Nancy Kerrigan Forty minutes in front of Beck isn't really where it's at. Gene Ween If I lost weight, I'd be two-dimensional! Paul Walker I think I'm a very poor piano player. Ray Manzarek If you really love someone and care about him, you can survive many difficulties. Calvin Klein I don't even own a car. Bill Nighy What is wealth? A dream of fools. Abraham Cahan It blows my mind the way Frank Miller can write. Brittany Murphy

'War on terror' is a misnomer. It would be like calling America's involvement in World

War II a 'war on kamikazism.' Terrorism, like kamikazism, is a tactic. Dinesh D'Souza I don't think people give Indian society enough credit. We may not like to talk much about things but we do, basically, want to live and let live. Vikram Seth If you like trekking, go to the Himalayas or Peru. I love those kinds of trips. But it all depends on your own life and what you like and what you expect. Diane von Furstenberg Film school was a privilege I could not afford. Ava DuVernay I love radio - its immediacy and especially its intimacy... it is part of your life, whispering into your ear. You can't see it, but equally importantly it can't see you. Malcolm Turnbull If you have a problem with my answer that's your problem, not my problem. Dennis Rodman It is easier to make a saint out of a libertine than out of a prig. George Santayana A family has its own rituals and its own superstitions. Tea Obreht To have kids and not be there every n

Over the past decade... while many businesses have pursued what I call 'business as usual,'

I have been part of a different, smaller business movement, one that tried to put idealism back on the agenda. Anita Roddick Punishment cannot heal spirits, can only break them. Barbara Deming I'm very ambitious, but I also love myself - which means I try to take care of myself. Fergie I actually don't feel famous. Anwar Robinson My No. 1 focus was on my foundation, the Tim Tebow Foundation, to bring faith, hope and love to those needing a brighter day in the darkest hour of need. Tim Tebow I'd like to move back to New Orleans. Harry Connick, Jr. Surfing is my religion, if I have one. Kelly Slater We are all born into the world with nothing. Everything we acquire after that is profit. Sam Ewing I ceased using words like optimism and pessimism a long time ago. Wole Soyinka I'm one of six kids, and the eight of us lived for over a decade in either a bus or a boat. Paul Farmer

It's really fun to be in a film that's pure entertainment, that people want to

go and see. I think, in the current climate, the state of things, people want escapism. Sienna Miller It is very clear that the people in Afghanistan do not want the Taliban back. Hillary Clinton Totalitarianism is feudalism in the twelfth century sense of the word. Barbara Amiel When I started writing fiction, I knew how good it was immediately. John C. Hawkes As kids, there's somehow the fear that these bullies can end your life if they want to. Everything is blown up, and occasionally that kind of awful thing does happen. Jordan Peele We will decide who comes to our country. John Howard Marxism is essentially a product of the bourgeois mind. Joseph A. Schumpeter We are seeing the beginning of things. Web 2.0 is broadband. Web 3.0 is 10 gigabits a second. Reed Hastings Now that I have found someone, I'm feeling more alone... than I ever have before. Ben Folds I grew up in Newquay, on the Atlantic coast and there developed a love of the sea and boats

If I am constantly working, my relationships fail. So at least now I can have

enough time to write a happy record. And be in love and be happy. And then I don't know what I'll do. Get married. Have some kids. Plant a nice vegetable patch. Adele If one of us, any of us, any American is traveling in a town somewhere in America and a medical crisis hits them, for someone who is diabetic or perhaps has heart disease or some other problems, where do we get the records to determine what to do? Timothy Murphy Simply stated, the need for accurate intelligence and prescient analysis from CIA has never been greater than it is in 2013 - or than it will be in the coming years. John O. Brennan Milwaukee one of my favorite cites; I think Milwaukee is #1. Dar Williams A lot of these industries are having difficulty finding reliable workers with the skills they require. Jerry Rubin The soul of sweet delight, can never be defiled. William Blake Ultimately a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus. Lloyd Banks Well, I

At the end of the day, when it comes time to make that decision, as

president, all you have to guide you are your values, and your vision, and the life experiences that make you who you are. Michelle Obama I think writers have become hypnotised by the number of jokes on the page at the expense of character. Sherwood Schwartz Everywhere you go you hear things that are untrue. You've just got to learn that if I don't say it, physically out of my mouth, on camera, it's not true. Selena Gomez Fiction novels, that's my game. David Benioff I like my body, I like to have fun with what I put on, but I also want to remain classic. So I guess my signature is sexy and eclectic but classic. Lake Bell Talent is seductive. Elaine Stritch It is not the task of a reader to please her subjects. Joyce Maynard If I can get a sanitized version of reality, I'll take it. Darrell Hammond I'm sticking to the script, I'm putting that organic feeling back in the game. Kendrick Lamar Good books, like good friends, are few an

You might not be able to operate your own Learjet and have an unlimited expense

account, but if you have a reasonable expectation for a print-based product, whether it's a newspaper or a magazine, you can certainly exist. Dave Eggers I'm a bit of a scaredy cat. Personally, I don't like to be kept up at night. Laurie Holden The world knows of a vast stock of epic material scattered up and down the nations; sometimes its artistic value is as extraordinary as its archaeological interest, but not always. Lascelles Abercrombie Active Evil is better than Passive Good. William Blake There's no such thing as an independent person. Peter Jennings When I was 22, I was having a ball! Jennifer Aniston Don't blame the messenger because the message is unpleasant. Ken Starr I don't want to get pigeonholed. Miranda Lambert It's sometimes shocking to find out what people really believe in. Tracey Ullman Know the names of past and current artists who are most famous for playing their instruments. Marilyn vos Savant

Gemeoss

I don't like the idea of being eaten by a shark. I like to swim

in the ocean, and I think much more about sharks than anyone should. I really resent the fact that my oceangoing experiences are ruined by 'Jaws.' David Duchovny It needs to be said, over and over again, that Stan the Man was voted by 'The Sporting News' as the best baseball player of the postwar decade, from 1946 through 1955. George Vecsey We don't take anything when we pass away, and we need to do with the sense of responsibility. Carlos Slim No-one has ever called me a cool dude. I'm somewhere between geek and normal. Linus Torvalds I think in any relationship, even in the healthiest of relationships, we are all parents to each other at times. I think that's a normal, healthy sort of relationship. I think there are times when we're each a mother and a father when we need to be. Christopher Stanley I don't know if I can prepare for what's to come because I don't know what will. Daisy Ridley If you've got a camera, go

We're trying to be very careful and precise in our use of language, because I

think the language we use and the images we project really do have resonance. It's the reason why I don't use the term jihadist to refer to terrorists. It gives them the religious legitimacy they so desperately seek, but I ain't gonna give it to them. John O. Brennan I do not have a merchandise line. I don't sell knives or apparel. Though I have been approached to endorse various products from liquor to airlines to automobiles to pharmaceuticals dozens of times, I have managed to resist the temptation. Anthony Bourdain I actually think that the economy has got some positives. It's got the market. It's got consumer confidence and it's got banks throwing - I mean central bankers throwing money at it around the world. Jack Welch A feature of English that makes it different compared with all other languages is its global spread. David Crystal I've never had my heart broken. It's a very sad state of affairs. I think everybody should have their hea

What troubles me most about my lovely country is that its children are seldom taught

that American freedom will vanish, if, when they grow up, and in the exercise of their duties as citizens, they insist that our courts and policemen and prisons be guided by divine or natural law. Kurt Vonnegut Insurance companies want to make sure that you stay on your medicine. Rick Smolan I really like to rock it natural and let my hair go wild, but when I do style it, I slick all the hair over to one side with pins. It's either that or a messy bun. Tori Kelly There is just one exception to the FCC's no-throttling rule - if a company can prove that throttling is 'reasonable network management.' Marvin Ammori Both my best and my worst habit is that I'm very impulsive. Tove Lo People want change. How is Barack going to do it? I think McCain can bring change. Stephen Baldwin Nobody ever said I'm a simple personality. Rabih Alameddine From day one, since I was traded to the Clippers, the team has been amazing to not only me, but to my family.

Super-Earths are how we call a family of planets... up to two times larger and

about ten times more massive than the Earth. Dimitar Sasselov I always think my face is quite nondescript - it sort of fits in to any period. It's not really distinct enough for you to remember me from something. Kimberley Nixon I'm a pretty tenacious person; I get that from my mom. So sometimes, I use dark humor. I can't take myself too seriously. Art Alexakis My dad's a scientist, and my mom's a teacher, so I didn't grow up in a family that was into the entertainment world at all. Eloise Mumford I enjoy practicing law too much to even contemplate retiring, but I often think about engaging in serious study of the history of art, of the intricacies of classical music. I could write a fugue, or perhaps learn to play the cello. Karen DeCrow I graduated from college with a 3.92 GPA with a degree in computer programming and a BFA in fine arts and animation. My first job was painting a mural in the Grimaldi's in Queens. JWoww In my career as a d

I would absolutely love to go back to the simplicity of the '80s, where there

wasn't texting, social media, iPhones, or smartphones. I love the fact that you would go home and check your messages. I'm not well suited to the world of modern technology. Matthew Rhys I like the performing. And interviews, even. And the stuff that's not sitting in a room by yourself with empty paper. But I never loved writing, to tell you the truth. Randy Newman When you break a sweat you just feel great. You've got your endorphins going. You feel better. You look better. And if you aren't able to get a workout in, try to find a steam room somewhere. You just look and feel so much better after a sweat. Nicole Scherzinger I grew up kind of a tomboy and I used to fight with all the neighborhood boys. Edie Falco I like the body. I like to design everything to do with the body. Gianni Versace I have always been a Malibu Man, like all actors. Nick Mancuso Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. Paulo Coelho My

I was always under the impression that acting is an innate gift. One of the

first things I heard them say at Koothu-P-Pattarai was that actors should realise the art of acting through their training. Vijay Sethupathi I remember auditioning for 'Moulin Rouge!,' the part that Ewan McGregor played. I was so young: I was literally just out of college. Tobias Menzies When you have an opportunity to do a series, you want to stick it out. You don't know when you're going to get another one like that again. Cleavant Derricks I am a really great daughter. Millie Bobby Brown Let us fight until the end. Let me try at least that - fight. Pep Guardiola You can have an idea that everyone else thinks is dumb, and it's still a good idea. Ryan North When there is a ring on my finger, which is actually given to me, then I'll tell the world. Till then, no one can claim me. Priyanka Chopra You need not fear my extinction. Fear my proliferation! I've already reproduced! Lydia Millet We are at a point in our nation's history w

I think you have to take each movie for its own value. There will be

those you'll roll your eyes over and others you can't wait to see. It all has to do with the intention. If someone's intention is just to make money and exploit something for profit, then it's not good. If it's thoughtfully done, the proof's in the pudding.Carrie-Anne Moss I basically applied to law school as a way of telling my parents that I wasn't going to medical school.John Delaney At a certain point, if you still have your marbles and are not faced with serious financial challenges, you have a chance to put your house in order. It's a cliche, but it's underestimated as an analgesic on all levels. Putting your house in order, if you can do it, is one of the most comforting activities, and the benefits of it are incalculable.Leonard Cohen I simply love coming to Chennai. My wife always complains, saying, 'You literally run at the mention of Chennai - I wonder what it is about that place!' I love how everyone is active here 24/7.

Growing up in northern California has had a big influence on my love and respect

for the outdoors. When I lived in Oakland, we would think nothing of driving to Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz one day and then driving to the foothills of the Sierras the next day. Tom Hanks The merit of a democratic regime rests on one's continual willingness to exchange views, and to compete on the basis of individual merit and capacities. Jose Eduardo dos Santos I love artists like Jon B, but I don't wanna be compared to anybody. I'm just doing my interpretation of rnb and how someone like me should be doing it. Brian Harvey In recent years, we have been sending a clear, consistent signal about the harms of drugs, particularly marijuana, which for most young people is the first illegal drug that they are exposed to. John Walters It is not necessary that whilst I live I live happily; but it is necessary that so long as I live I should live honourably. Immanuel Kant When I go to a concert, I can't believe that people pay lots of money to see a band that t

I wanted to be a doctor at one point and I also wanted to be

a pilot. I think if you grow up in a dodgy area, reality often beats down those ambitions as you get older. But with me that never really happened. James McAvoy I know what it's like to start a business. I know how extra ordinarily difficult it is to build something from nothing. I know how government kills jobs and, yes, I know how it can help from time- to-time. Mitt Romney I do, however, feel reasonably strongly the sense that the job of a piece of argumentative scholarly non-fiction is not the same as the job of a piece of fiction. China Mieville I was raised to think cursing makes you look unintelligent. Chloe Grace Moretz Listen to many, speak to a few. William Shakespeare I get recognized so much. It happens mostly when I'm in Starbucks. Katee Sackhoff I am bundle of nerves riddled with irrational fears. Tori Spelling I wrote songs all my life, where anyone wanted to hear them or not. Tommy Shaw As a teenager especially, I just wanted to do my thi

In a hyper-capitalist environment dominated by media giants, the means available to independent journalism have

narrowed considerably. Nayef Al-Rodhan I wasn't a bad kid. My dad left when I was young, so I didn't have much discipline, not that I'm making excuses. I was always out and about and had a good time as a kid, so I've done alright. Danny Dyer I think I just stick to eating a well-rounded diet. I don't cut out anything; if I crave something, I eat it. But I definitely try to stick to a balanced diet always. Martha Hunt If I had been in President Obama's shoes, I would have acted more decisively and strongly against ISIS. Rand Paul Me and heels are very good friends. Emilia Clarke The conscience can be a strong guide in life if we allow it. Joyce Meyer Horseracing and ranch horses are two different animals. You're getting race horses out and running and running them. It can be really problematic. A thoroughbred's very delicate. Dennis Quaid I do value the respect I get from my contemporaries, but to have Oasis cover my song, to have Puf
