John Avlon I'm feminine, but I wouldn't say that I'm girly in any way at all. Victoria Beckham I have no desire to coach basketball. Kevin Johnson 'Tis skill, not strength, that governs a ship.

be occurring because the UK is cutting its deficit too far and too fast. John Redwood There is a lot of rubbish written about toilet humour - people saying it is childish and pretending it is beneath them - but there is no doubting the effectiveness of a really good willy gag. Adrian Edmondson It just is nothing foreign to consciousness at all that could present itself to consciousness through the mediation of phenomena different from the liking itself; to like is intrinsically to be conscious. Edmund Husserl George W. Bush always said and did what he believed and he let it rip. Ed Rendell I love Alton Brown's show 'Good Eats,' about the chemistry of food. It's really thoughtful.

expectation that the global economy and the Polish economy as a consequence could slow down dramatically. Marek Belka I'll be too old to face a difficult championship as the one in America will surely be.

John Kasich Your traditions change from when you are child to when you become an adult. Katharine McPhee Lately I did a film called All I Want for Christmas and it was well received.

Andre Rieu There's something I've been wanting to say for a long time. I'm a liberal, and I'm proud of it. In fact, I was probably a little more liberal than Hubert was. I just wanted to say that. Muriel Humphrey I like form and shape and strength in pictures. Herb Ritts As a matter of fact I don't like politics. I really don't.

the course of doing some productive activity such as gardening, bicycling to work, doing home improvement projects and so on.

Aziz Ansari Yes, politics IS war without bloodshed; and war is an extension of those politics. H. Rap Brown We neither laugh alone, nor weep alone, why then should we pray alone?

up, not only myself but my family, like my father, we would watch a lot of Scorsese films. Anthony Michael Hall I've done more crap than I care to remember. I really have. 'Airwolf.' 'Murder, She Wrote.' 'Amazon Women on the Moon.' But you learn from all these bad shows. What you don't want to do and what you don't want to be involved with. Bryan Cranston There are so many funny women in the world, and there has been for so many years, so I'll be happy when people can just move on from that, and things can just be 'comedies' and not 'female' or 'male,' and everyone gets an equal opportunity. Kristen Wiig I was born with the gift. Joe Namath We are men of action, lies do not become us. William Goldman Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance.

Karrine Steffans Today, they're just up there for the money, just packaged and be gone. Ronnie Spector I don't believe, in the 21st century, in the balance of power system.

tough audiences in Liverpool and Hamburg. When they began writing seriously, they discovered that they couldn't compose in the early American rock tradition.

African Americans and other people of color may feel versus language that I think now crosses the line and goes into hate.

all of life - if we look carefully at any experience we will find transparency, insubstantiality, with no solid, unchanging core to our experience. But that does not mean that nothing matters. Sharon Salzberg I come from a very working-class background, so my family would have been downstairs in the past, as opposed to upstairs. People are often quite surprised to hear that, that I'm not actually posh. Michelle Dockery I really like my doctors. Some of them I love. I trust them. Nancy Grace I myself have been in therapy. Repeatedly. Amy Brenneman I believe everything in moderation. But breakfast is important. I have two hard-boiled or scrambled eggs with whole-wheat toast and try to get some fruit in there.

Terry McAuliffe My knees are ticklish. Juliana Hatfield A man is only as good as w

lot of radios, appliances and inventions that he had made over 50 years, such as a keyboard called a clavioline, which can be heard on some Beatles songs - it was popular in the 60s. So we had all that at home. Michel Gondry It's not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential. Bruce Lee I can't stand directors who try to micro-manage everything.

off, things just explode, everyone is just at each other in one way or another, in closets or cat fights here and there. It's nuts. You know, I can't be a part of it. Richard Dean Anderson I believe that we are still hovering around the realm of Asians playing all types of Asians. I do not see that changing any time soon just because there is a limited pool of Asian actors. Steven Yeun In New York, I'm around a lot of the reasons I started playing music in the first place.

we shouldn't accept lost time and unnecessary stress when traveling in them. Melissa Bean From my very first movie, what was my concentration, my inspiration, was I didn't want to narrate something, I didn't want to tell a story.

worse. However, this order did contain certain factors which bore within them the seeds of instability. Eisaku Sato On a scale personal enough to be felt by all, but big enough to be symbolic, the two irreconcilable faiths of our time - Communism and Freedom - came to grips in the persons of two conscious and resolute men. Whittaker Chambers I have seen some crazy people do some crazy things on my variety show. I have to stop and ask them a lot of the time, just how they figured out that they could do the things that they do, some of it is just plain freaky.

satisfactions than my friendships. Westbrook Pegler I am very optimistic, and I wish that God almighty grants me success to get a qualifying time. Only then can I go to the Olympics.

I continue to be inspired by makeshift structures, including my own kids' forts and temporary architecture of all sorts. Janet Echelman I feel like a turtleneck dress that's long-sleeved and covers your entire body but is tight fitting is so much sexier than boobs spilling out, you know? So I guess I'm more into being classy sexy versus apparent sexy.

United States culturally empty-handed. The role and importance of ethnic history is in how well it teaches a people to use their own talents, take pride in their own history and love their own memories.

Zach Braff While we are sleeping, two-thirds of the world is plotting to do us in. Dean Rusk Does anyone remember laughter? Robert Plant I certainly have been guilty of trying to sw

Sarah Brightman Failure comes only when we forget our ideals and objectives and principles. Jawaharlal Nehru I hate shaving. It's much easier to just do a little stubble, but my wife and daughter like it when I'm clean-shaven. If you see me with a clean face, then you know I'm in the kissing mode! Patrick Dempsey Immediately after the Floyd experience, I became a pop record producer. Alan Parsons My character, Rick Spleen, is a what-if version of me, really, where nothing did quite turn out right and everything else is still around the corner.

Andrew Wyeth There are days when I'll write for 15 minutes and have to give up and move around, and I'll write another paragraph and give up again.

you should take it. Then for the side effects of that drug, then there's another drug, and so on. So we're all taking more drugs, and more expensive drugs. Marcia Angell In some respects, inside information is a form of financial steroid. It is unfair: it is offensive; it is unlawful; and it puts a black mark on the entire enterprise. Preet Bharara I think if I weren't so beautiful, maybe, I'd have more character. Jerry Hall Even a poor man can receive honors. Sophocles Emmanuel Lewis was amazing to work with.

at risk of increasing our dependence on costly natural gas. Judy Biggert I could have gone professional, but I'm not giving up on my dream. Rau'Shee Warren I am an optimist.

Probably, I would have looked the other way at best or become another apologist for evil at worst. Lionel Blue The Pacific Northwest depends on inexpensive renewable energy from our dams. Cathy McMorris Rodgers They should invent some way to tape-record your dreams. I've written songs in my dreams that were Beatles songs. Then I'd wake up and they'd be gone.

the greatest rapper ever.' I'm trying to prove that voice right. Danny Brown I find purer philosophy in a Poem than in a Conclusion of Geometry, a chemical analysis, or a physical law.

Lady Gaga When it began to grow dark, the Rat, with an air of excitement and mystery, summoned them back into the parlour, stood each of them up alongside of his little heap, and proceeded to dress them up for the coming expedition.

both mentally and physically. Brooke Burke I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires. Susan B.

large extent influenced by the vital question of communication and supply. Kelly Miller Whether the task is fixing health care, upgrading K-12 education, bolstering national security, or a host of other missions, the U.S. is better at patching problems than fixing them. Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. The concept of minimum wage is crazy, if you really stop to think about it. If $8 an hour seems right, why not $20 an hour? If it's coming by order of the government, why stop at any level? Why not just say everyone should get what Gates gets? Malcolm Wallop My coaches have told me my muscles and body structure are perfect for skating. Kim Yuna The further human society drifts away from nature, the less we understand interdependence.

Enos Slaughter I tend not to dwell too

is saying that I knew I was positive for all these years because I had a faked test a few years ago. Marc Wallice I have a problem with Mitt Romney.

Paul Wellstone Jackie Robinson is a true legend. Sidney Poitier If I had my life to live over, I would want to be a man. Little Richard Well, I like chocolate stuff; I don't like any of that other gross sugary candy. Cam Gi

form need not therefore prove its failure as a long lyric poem, with interrelated sections. Hart Crane Well, I think on second units it's all about execution. Because you come in there, you don't have to worry so much about the studio and all the other actors and all that. David R. Ellis I mostly get takeout, I have to admit - I don't know if that's something to be ashamed of. I'm not much of a cook.

going to get caught, but I was so desperate I didn't care. It was a cry for help. Cory Monteith Drug companies say they need to charge ever-higher prices to cover their research costs, but they spend far less on research and development than they do on marketing and administration, and afterwards they actually keep more in profits. Marcia Angell We foresee no limit to scientific advancement in the future, and in scientific truth there is nothing dead; science is always a living and growing body of knowledge; but art on the contrary has many times run its course to an end, and exhausted its vital power.

John Shimkus I've only ever wanted to be a singer; I never wanted to be famous. Katherine Jenkins I am stronger than I was last year.

Mandy Moore There's been some research in cognitive science, I'm told, that discloses that there have always been perhaps 10 to 15 percent of people who are, as Pascal puts it, so made that they cannot believe.

Marilynne Robinson The first novel I wrote was a monster - clocking in at 180,000 words - but it died a death, a death it deserved. It was called 'The Gods First Make Mad.' It was a good title, but it was the only good thing about the book. I didn't let that put me off. Wilbur Smith I don't have a problem believing in God and Jesus. But in Genesis one has to wonder about these sentences that just go on and end without finishing. The thought is unfinished. Where did Adam go? What is he doing? Hello?

But they are always works of art. Are there no artists who have done erotic pictures?

yourself, especially in this business. And now I feel like I'm in a really good, positive place in my life. Ashlee Simpson I think reading Shakespeare's plays when I was young was extremely important. He had the ability to make utter strangers come alive. Rita Dove I suspect millions of people from my generation probably have comparable stories to tell: if not of sports simulations then of Dungeons & Dragons, or the geopolitical strategy of games like Diplomacy, a kind of chess superimposed onto actual history. Steven Johnson Christianity isn't the only group that has fundamentalists.

Louise Mensch Despite having written five books, I worry that I have not written the right kinds of books, or that perhaps I have dedicated too much of my life to writing, and have therefore neglected other aspects of my being.

That's probably why it's so scary, because they scared me. Grace Jones I can only speak for myself, but when I was growing up in Memphis - and having the Martin Luther King holiday and the moment of pause on April 4th - he was just a statue to me. I wanted to make him a little bit more real to me as a human being. Katori Hall Labor, in itself, is neither elevating or otherwise. It is the laborer's privilege to ennoble his work by the aim with which he undertakes it, and by the enthusiasm and faithfulness he puts into it.

the spiritual nature of the human soul, and formed some probable conjectures, that man was designed for a future state of existence. David Brainerd What the results are telling them is that the most money is spent in volume by young people.

friends and readers. Some take those criticisms to heart and incorporate it into their work, and some ignore them. Scott McCloud When I started writing, I did have some idealised notion of my dad as a writer. But I have less and less of a literary rivalry with him as I've gone on. I certainly don't feel I need his approval, although maybe that's because I'm confident that I've got it. Paul Theroux I don't plan to write another science book, but I don't plan not to.
