Karl Pilkington To model yourself after Steve Jobs is like, 'I'd like to paint like Picasso, what should I do? Should I use more red?'

is close as you can get to a professional environment. It's like all day. Ryan Sypek I realise that I had the best of serious picture journalism.

Claudio Reyna Patience and tenacity are worth more than twice their weight of cleverness. Thomas Huxley Economic medicine that was previously meted out by the cupful has recently been dispensed by the barrel.

Gavin Rossdale You can't respect yourself if you're afraid to be who you are. Amber Heard If you build up the soil with organic material, the plants will do just fine. John Harrison I think that testo

week. But the Bible is not a manufacturer's handbook. Neither is it a science textbook nor a guidebook for public policy. Adam Hamilton I try to work on shows that I would want to watch. J. J. Abrams Nobody I represent is pretending to be the pope or a role model for young people. People have to live their lives. They have the right to smoke if they want. Ben Affleck My understanding is that Olivia had no idea what was going on. Crystal Chappell In this watering-place I acted an heroic character, badly studied; and being a novice on such a stage, I forgot my part before a pair of lovely blue eyes.

records, but that's not what you're playing for. You're playing to challenge and be challenged. Lou Brock Let's face it: Engineering companies in general have more men than women. Google has tried really hard to recruit women. On the other hand, we have a standard. Google tries to recruit the best engineers.

I have been sound money all my life. Ken Livingstone I think it's a responsibility for everyone to give back. Stacy Keibler Most success springs from an obstacle or failure.

Vivien Leigh I don't mind losing, but I don't like losing to cheats. Pete Waterman I've always played 'NBA Live' since I was a kid, so to be on the cover is a blessing.

at 10 pm that night for a look around, and jammed for 5 hours solid. Robyn Hitchcock The Broken Bow group is such a great family and seem like a group of tight-knit people.

This is where I felt betrayed the most. Kate Millett Through a painting we can see the whole world. Hans Hofmann I haven't been faithful to my wife.

Dave Chappelle It wasn't until my late teens that I really got into soul music and then I was like 'Ooh, this is good!' You'd always here it at old family parties, like, Gladys Knight and I'd always love it but I didn't really get to know it and respect it until I was a bit older. Rebecca Ferguson Adults sometimes think children don't think. That's what propels them to order children around. But children do integrate thoughts and make sense of them. When I was a child, I thought about everything in the universe. T'Keyah Crystal Keymah With lab courses, we may be able to simulate a lot of that and reduce costs. Roy Romer I look for the consensus because the consensus drives the policy into new places. Catherine Ashton Give us the child for 8 years and it will b

William Rose Benet But I also hold the very strong view that republicans need to lead by example. Gerry Adams Eureka! - I have found it! Archime

to hear, or try and come off in a certain way. I try to be as honest as I can. Gwyneth Paltrow Mitch Glazer and I went to high school together, and his mother was my English teacher for two years.

Kennedy You couldn't have fed the '50s into a computer and come out with the '60s. Paul Kantner A lot of Jews are great friends of mine. Billy Graham I love love stories, no matter how dark.

colorful man who left us with thousands of memories. Most people remember his films, but I've got anecdotes and advice and episodes of real life tucked away inside my head. Danny Huston I love art and I think I was destined to end up in some aspect of the arts. Ken Baumann It is frightening that in recent years such an increase has occurred in acts of terrorism, which have even reached peaceful countries such as ours. And as a 'remedy', more and more security forces are established to protect the lives of individual men and women. Alva Myrdal I started writing more with my voice in mind. Lucinda Williams Yes, I feel I've got something to say. If people want to listen, that's great, and if they don't, that's their choice.

Hermann von Helmholtz I like the days when all the filmmakers had was a film roll, a camera and a gangster. The Mack Sennett comedies were all like that.

Randall Terry The kindest thing a director can do is look with open eyes at everything. Alexander Payne How can one know anything at all about people? Anna Freud Parenting is not for sissies. You have to sacrifice and grow up. Jillian Michaels It's just not easy enough to say that I pray and God will accomplish. John Shelby Spong If you commit a crime, you're guilty. Rush Limbaugh

do to meet extraordinary Australians right across our country who share a great generosity of spirit. Quentin Bryce I've been doing my job for a long time and I never really thought about being an actress or being anything like that. I was always a bit scared as well because of the thing about models becoming an actress and all that. I just never really took it seriously. Gisele Bundchen I feel like a tree. A tree doesn't feel a duty to start doing something about the earth from which it comes. A tree just has to bear fruit, and leaves and blossoms. It doesn't feel grateful to the earth. Abbas Kiarostami I buy food and gasoline - that's it. Kat Dennings Without philosophy, history is always for me dead and dumb. Ferdinand Christian Baur I think the success of my work stems from being truthful. Catherine O'Hara You can't mess up. If you do, everyone wants to kill you.

world, thanks to consistent government/military taxpayer support. There are longer European data sets, but the U.S.A. data is enough to forecast major extreme events. Piers Corbyn You can have all the information you want in the world. If you don't have the people raising questions and looking beneath the surface, and people being paid to do this, you're not going to find the answers. Lowell Bergman Sometimes I'm so tired, I look down at what I'm wearing, and if it's comfortable enough to sleep in, I don't even make it into my pajamas.

Chris Ware I never saw any of my dad's stories. My mother said he had piles and piles of manuscripts. Stephen King My unbeaten record and the 10 British Open wins have not been equalled.

purely down to this enormous alimony. If I wasn't doing this I'd be making documentaries about wildlife and other subjects that interest me. John Cleese It is so powerful when we can leave behind our ordinary identities, no longer think of ourselves primarily as a conductor, or writer, or salesclerk, and go to a supportive environment to deeply immerse in meditation practice. Sharon Salzberg I guess subconsciously that all the great people you work with have an influence on you. Eric Bana Sentences are like just caught fish. Spunky today, stinky tomorrow.

Bodhidharma The arrogance of age must submit to be taught by youth. Edmund Bur

Greg Norman Creativity is not the finding of a thing, but the making something out of it after it is found. James Russell Lowell You would hardly believe how difficult it is to place a figure alone on a canvas, and to concentrate all the interest on this single and universal figure and still keep it living and real. Edouard Manet I play golf because it's fun. Bubba Watson I liked Truman very much. He was precise and businesslike. After a while, it was his turn. Lord Mountbatten I make playlists on my iPod like nobody's business! Jenna Ushkowitz We tend to look through language and not realize how much power language has. Deborah Tannen Who said that artists should sell their soul, expose everything about themselves? Vanessa Paradis It's always convenient for certain people to he

invent and reinvent yourself. You should have the power to be able to do that. Sexuality is a part of that. It should release you. It doesn't have to be an issue. It shouldn't box you in. Neil Tennant When I was doing jazz concerts in America, I would use the biggest names I could find. Norman Granz I'm just not a great practice player. Tracy McGrady Games are the most social of all things on the web. Fred Wilson The secret of being a great actor is a love of food.

Mark Hoppus Stella McCartney, not only is she a designer, she is a mother of four, and she lives for practicality. She understands what a woman needs to wear to work and what a woman needs to wear when it's time to go out and put on the Ritz! Andre Leon Talley Lots of times I was out through forcing the game. Frank Woolley Laughter is the valve on the pressure cooker of life. Either you laugh and suffer, or you got your beans or brains on the ceiling.

John Sununu I have always had a talent for irritating women since I was fourteen. Marilyn Monroe Heaven, for me, is one fo

people instead of standing in front of a camera trying to say some lines. The people who do that as a profession are very talented because it's certainly not easy. Tom Brady I am interested in the way that we look at a given landscape and take possession of it in our blood and brain. None of us lives apart from the land entirely; such an isolation is unimaginable. N. Scott Momaday What I take from writers I like is their economy - the ability to use language to very effective ends. The ability to have somebody read something and see it, or for somebody to paint an entire landscape of visual imagery with just sheets of words - that's magical. Mos Def Listen, you only tease the ones you love. John Boehner I remain committed to a balanced policy, which will protect our national interests both on our eastern border - I mean with Russia - and of course with the European Union. Viktor Yanukovych Washington has to become an ally of business, not the opposition of busine

terrorist nation, one of the leading terrorist nations in the world. It's false and very treacherous teaching. Bill Bennett As the baby boomers like me are retiring and getting ready to retire, they will spend whatever it takes - and they're the wealthiest generation in our country - to make themselves live an enjoyable life in their retirement years. David Rubenstein The E.U. cannot act as guardian of the post-Cold War status quo without risking a collapse of Europe's current institutional infrastructure.

Trishelle Cannatella The actor in me would always like to be more dashing, or slimmer, or have n

as passionate about coming up with new and greater challenges. I don't see it as a contest, but as a natural progression. Dean Karnazes I think impersonation is a great art. It's something that I enjoy doing, in a frivolous and lighthearted way. But I don't flatter myself to think I'm an impersonator. Andrea Riseborough We've used up a lot of bullets. And we talk about stimulus. But the truth is, we're running a federal deficit that's 9 percent of GDP. That is stimulative as all get out. It's more stimulative than any policy we've followed since World War II. Warren Buffett Jesus is who saved me. He's what keeps me full and whole. Miley Cyrus I don't do drugs. I never have taken any drugs. I don't believe in them. Florence Griffith Joyner In film, we sculpt time, we sculpt behaviour and we sculpt light.

natural, what moves you. Garry Trudeau In the context of interfaith encounter, we need to bring to the surface how our actual beliefs shape what we do - not simply to agree that kindness is better than cruelty.

But I'm just having fun with it. Lenny Kravitz I've been a lucky boy. Dan Stevens Ours is the only country deliberately founded on a good idea. John Gunther I live in America. I love being an American. Pink It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane. Philip K. Dick If people are worried about the size of their trailers, I kind of say th

I have to please myself the way, if I saw the movie in a theater, I would be pleased. Do I think about catering to an audience? No. Shane Black Music, in Mexico, just wasn't working out. So, I fell into acting and I just fell in love with it. It was amazing! It was a great safe place to just vent. Adan Canto I just like to keep my money in the bank; I'm not a big risk-taker.

Smith When Barack Obama is right, then I'll support him. When he is wrong, I'll fight h

York because you can see people breakdancing there. That's the only reason I went! It's amazing, kids are still doing that. Chris Frantz It will be a great day when our schools have all the money they need, and our air force has to have a bake-sale to buy a bomber. Robert Fulghum The Falstaff people, romantics all, went for it. They were so anxious to find out what I was going to do that they could hardly bear to wait out the two weeks.

Viggo Mortensen I don't really relate to certain blokey men who just want to talk about blokey things. I never really know what to say and I always feel I have to act blokey in order to have them not say, 'You're a weirdo.' Guy Pearce I want to write songs and play them for people - live. T Bone Burnett I really see myself as a homegirl. Wales is my first home. London is my second home - I've been there 14 years now. Katherine Jenkins Literary fiction is kept alive by women. Women read more fiction, period. Khaled Hosseini I think at this point in my life, I'd like to play more go

your gut you feel is wrong and yet watch your peers going off to fight in that war. George McGovern I had thirty weeks of prep on 'Captain America.' I have a small team of qualified, supportive, creative producers who are actually helping me achieve my vision of the film. I had a dream cast headed by Chris Evans. I had the best designers, artists, sculptors, craftspeople. Joe Johnston The stars handle it very graciously. They let you know. They know how to play the game. Mary Hart Writers are the lunatic fringe of publishing. Judith Rossner My interests started about in science and in mathematics; I always thought I was going to be a mathematician. David Chalmers I think any entertainer just sort of goes along with whatever comes along. Julie London I have been ambitious to be a somebody from the time I was 5 years old.

contribute to the basic function, wherein the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to effectively cease functioning. Michael Behe I started thinking about joy.

Jeff Bezos Jews don't care about ancient rivalries. We worry about humidity in Miami. Evan Sayet

a little more carefully, which is tricky because as a black actress, there aren't that many roles to pick from. Rachel True I've been mocked a lot.

Josh Turner It took me 45 minutes to get in all of the suits and putting all the dosimeters on me so that they knew how much radiation I got and the protective boots and everything.

Garrett Hardin What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Greg Rusedski I don't believe in any kind of fundamentalism. Antonio Banderas The thriller is not a recent invention. It probably goes back to t

period all of a sudden when I was too big to play a kid and I was too young to play an adult. Like, I couldn't play the lawyer, but I couldn't play the high school kid anymore. Jason Segel I'm a good audience in general, but it's hard to make me laugh. Dan Fogler I like acting with no lines because all of a sudden you're able to express things without always worrying about the text. It's great to have a great text, but there's a lot of stuff you can't say in words, and I think there's something really nice about good physical moments. Zooey Deschanel Of two evils we must always choose the least. Thomas a Kempis I wake up each and every day with a smile on my face knowing I get to do something musically. Two Chainz What is this world? A mere curl of smoke for the wind to scatter. Abraham Cahan It's just that some people are lucky and people still seem to enjoy the music.

Haile Gebrselassie People are realizing that color has no bearing on what's known as brotherhood.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Every writer hopes his or her book will be its own thing. Elizabeth Kostova Politics means competition, especially in senior positions. If you don't know that, you're not especially suited to politics. Wolfgang Schauble I don't like Las Vegas. I'd rather be mountain biking or climbing.

sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love. Stevie Wonder We are of the opinion that an important and irreversible process is taking place among the white population.

Leon Panetta You don't just accidentally show up in the World Series. Derek Jeter One declaims endlessly against the passions; one imputes all of man's suffering to them.

family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace. Thich Nhat Hanh I had an amazing childhood, lots of love. But my dad worked his tail off, getting up at 4 in the morning and going off at 5, 6 o'clock, yet he always had time to spend with his kids and his wife. Criss Angel I like diversity; I want one character to be very different from the next. I love to live with a character for a long time if I can, but I like one character to be different from the next. Linda Cardellini I've also become much more the musician I've always wanted to be. John Fogerty I like being alone and I think this movie, as much as it is an investigation of connection and people bonding, I also think it's just as much about loneliness. Jason Schwartzman I'm prone to a more depressed outlook on life. Rob Brydon 'Earth' is a silly name for this planet. Graham Hawkes You're only as good as your last pass.

Jean de La Fontaine I'm very practical. What I'm reaching for is individualism for women. Kathleen Turner I only eat fish - no chicken, no turkey, just fish. I get all my protein from fish and egg whites. Jack LaLanne The first decade of your life is really important; it's formative. Viggo Mortensen I think of poets as outlaw visionaries in a way. Jim Jarmusch

the same fate does not await our own? Christian Lous Lange My father, who was a cabinetmaker, told me, 'Wood has a grain and if you go into the grain, you have beauty. If you go against it, you have splinters - it breaks.' And I took that as my view of life. You have to follow the grain - to be sensitive to the direction of life.

It can survive any environment, in theory. Nicolas Berggruen My father was absent and he was a hero to me. Greta Scacchi Whether it's working on five or 10 different things at the same time, I've got to stay in people's faces. Busta Rhymes My dad was a workaholic. I saw him work seven days a week.

I will say that there's something about theatre that is more nourishing and sustaining than film ever can be. Willem Dafoe But when you have a baby inside you, you're like 'Whoa!' Anything can happen here, I've got to give this baby all the nutrients it needs and really take care of myself, so this is definitely the healthiest I've ever been in my life. Holly Madison Back then I thought if you cut a record, you were automatically a star. Mickey Gilley I always wanted to do something completely different. Gary Wright I'm pretty smart with boys.

have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either of them might run out. Mary Schmich I had a big Akita, Yoshi, who was fabulous. I loved him. We lost him when he was 12, and I've never been able to replace him. Normally, most people lose a pet and get another and keep going on. But it just felt wrong to me; it felt disloyal. Robert Crais Painting and sculpture are very archaic forms. It's the only thing left in our industrial society where an individual alone can make something with not just his own hands, but brains, imagination, heart maybe. Philip Guston I see myself as an educator. Anita Hill I'm more interested in politicians who deal with human rights in their own country rather than lecture the rest of the world.

Steve Madden It was a weak spot in any nation to have a large body of disaffected people within its confusion. Zora Neale Hurston

Americans actually know soccer quite well, that many of us played it in school and college, but that, well, we just don't find it quite as exciting as, say, what we call football. Serge Schmemann We didn't just want to go out and do that whole greatest hits thing. Andy Taylor I don't just want my books to be about the '30s and '40s. I want them to read as if they had been written then. I think of them as '40s novels, written in the conservative narrative past. Alan Furst Nobody can deny there is a rise of Islamic fundamentalism. Dominique de Villepin I don't feel like singing should be taken lightly. It's one of the hardest things I've ever done, but it's coming along. Wes Borland The money I saved during baseball was probably all gone. I'm tapped out. Curt Schilling Effort and result are never simultaneous. In art, only the result counts. Jose Bergamin We do not seem to be finding tomorrow's Toscas. James Levine F

And the secret to freedom is courage. Thucydides At least in the West, politicians, corporations and media moguls can no longer take for granted their power to control the public discourse - and have it go unchallenged. David Puttnam My mum actually gave up work to look after my child, which is so touching. Jamelia There's certainly a large literature around baseball in the U.S. Chad Harbach I had a lot of very religious influences - Christian religious.

just try to keep their feet on the ground and raise them with the values we were raised with. Reese Witherspoon Do we need to have 280 brands of breakfast cereal? No, probably not. But we have them for a reason - because some people like them. It's the same with baseball statistics. Bill James Just as Bowie, Zeppelin, etc., became rock stars by remaking themselves in the image of the California girls, the Go-Gos became rock stars by pretending to be the Buzzcocks and the Sex Pistols. Jane Wiedlin always said her biggest influence was growing up in L.A. as a Bowie girl. Rob Sheffield Give back in some way. Always be thoughtful of others. Jackie Joyner-Kersee God is an immensity, while this disease, this death, which is in me, this small, tightly defined pedestrian event, is merely and perfectly real, without miracle - or instruction. Harold Brodkey No, I never ever considered myself attractive. Lana Wood If I quit having fun, then it's time for me to quit worki

government can make it fair is a valuable and inexhaustible asset to politicians who want to expand government. Thomas Sowell The freedom to be an individual is the essence of America. Marilyn vos Savant His name is 'Mr. Spock.' And the first view of him can be almost frightening - a face so heavy-lidded and satanic you might almost expect him to have a forked tail. Probably half Martian, he has a slightly reddish complexion and semi-pointed ears. Gene Roddenberry Sometimes you kind of lose yourself in someone else's personality. Julie London It's like a whole orchestra, the piano for me. Dave Brubeck Yes, living voices in a living language, so it seemed to us.

Bo Jackson Right around the end of the fifties, college students and young people in general, began to realize that this music was almost like a history of our country - this music contained the real history of the people of this country. Jackson Browne Some British actors are snobby about telly, and I don't understand that. Matthew Macfadyen I'm sponsored by Audi, so I have this rather lovely rather arrangement where they just insist that I'm always in the latest model.

Marc Forgione I never had long hair before I got busted. I never had a beard before I got busted. Ch

it's down to leading a healthier lifestyle or what but my range has increased. Jack Bruce They did interviews with my wife and daughter-they were genuinely in fear of me having a heart attack, working 20 hours a day, eating fast food. Willie Aames Airlines go in the long run at the competition to reason. For the passenger the competition is good, because each competitor tries to undercut the other one.

Bella Heathcote You know,

the scientist trying to solve the problem, but that's not the kind of fiction that I like to read. Karen Thompson Walker Sometimes people ask me how old I am, and I have to stop and remember. I forget myself! Gabriel Mann I wouldn't count myself as being a true blues guitarist because I feel you have to live it. Robin Trower Sitcom food is by far the tastiest of all showbiz food.

Virgil Bad things happen sometimes. Adam Ant When I hear something going wrong, I insist on it being put right. Rupert Murdoch Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance. David Mamet The marvelous thing about a joke with a double meaning is that it can only mean one thing. Ronnie Barker

you'd rather stick those pencils in your eyes. Sometimes I almost punish myself - if I'm not going be able to write, I'm not going be able to do anything else. I just sit there and wait. Ron Rash The time was ripe for Flower. The vibe was right. Jody Watley I was with a folk trio back in '63 and '64, and we traveled all across North Africa, Israel, and Europe. Creed Bratton Even though we want huge individual egos, our collective ego is unbelievable. Mike Krzyzewski There's nothing particularly dark in my past... I live in the light. My disposition is basically happy. I have a good life. Lisa Unger There is nothing so uncertain as a sure thing. Scotty Bowman I do think that we are an overmedicated society. Marcia Angell I've come to realize your career is all about the choices you make. Every single one matters. Demi Lovato I never really cared about what I looked like. Gemma Ward I've always believed human blood is red because

bouncing around and spinning. There was a never-ending supply of places to go, people to see, things to do, and fitting it all in became kind of an art. Tom Freston I'd sleep in a little, work out, do laundry, run errands, buy presents for people with birthdays coming up. I like it when I don't have to be anywhere, and anything I do is my choice. Carrie Underwood My mother's family were full-on Irish Catholics - faith in an elaborate old fashioned, highly conservative and madly baroque style. I sort of fell out of the tribe over women's rights and social justice issues when I was just 13 years old. Geraldine Brooks The greatest problem about old age is the fear that it may go on too long. A. J. P. Taylor What is important is that you're honest with the American people. Jon Huntsman, Jr. My dad has more sparkly stuff than most men. Georgia Jagger I've sort of escaped my background, as people often do, through art and culture. Danny Boyle With

of it and I do intend on going to classes for it because I think it's a different muscle, and it's hard to find female comedians. Ashley Greene For most people, using the Internet broadens their sense of who 'we' is and actually ends up leaving us in a place of greater compassion and understanding. It leaves us more connected to a larger group of people and more at one with a lot more people in our community. Alex Steffen I feel a real responsibility to my community and so right now there has been this bizarre myth in our community how our vote doesn't count. I'm trying to get out there and re-educate on how the government works and break that myth and talk about the importance of being involved. Jada Pinkett Smith I have my own strength. Nina Hagen I will speak with a straight tongue. Chief Joseph Jordan has a very important part in any Arab-Israeli peace process.

Joey Dunlop I am responsible for no one but myself. Mercedes McCambridge I prefer people to see me as an Ivorian and as a patriot.

Jodi Picoult

but the most important one is still the awareness that if I'm not enjoying a story, the reader won't either. Thomas Perry My first paying job was guest starring in 'Touched By An Angel' when I was 12. It was very exciting. I couldn't believe you got free food all day and people were so nice to you. Mary Elizabeth Winstead I didn't wake up one morning and not be in the Replacements. We're all that forever, and I've just grown older. I mean, I haven't lost anything. I've gained a few things. Paul Westerberg Just letting it out is one of the definitions of bad art. Dennis Potter I said, 'I'll give myself two years. If I can't support myself as an actress within two years, then I'll go back to choreography.' Khandi Alexander My compulsion is to create things. Julian Schnabel Dancing is my obsession. My life. Mikhail Baryshnikov I find great lighting and a squint of the eyes makes anyone look better. Cat Deele

hearing, truly listening, to what the other side is saying. Whether you're left or right. Jeff Daniels I do dig the White Stripes. I like the record they have out now.

people, and my schoolwork suffered at one point. Lady Gaga Just going on the road and entertaining the fans, that's amazing. Jordan Knight Many of us saw religion as harmless nonsense. Beliefs might lack all supporting evidence but, we thought, if people needed a crutch for consolation, where's the harm? September 11th changed all that. Richard Dawkins Usually when I see someone famous, for some reason, I think I know them. Leona Lewis You can learn not to want what you want, to recognize desires but not be controlled by them. Henepola Gunaratana I don't like how I have to always be judged for my weight - I hate that. Aubrey O'Day I view every film as a commitment to undertake a long journey. Arnon Goldfinger A man may be variously accomplished, and yet be a feeble poet. George Henry Lewes In any situation, I'm going to be good. James Harden We're an ideal political family, as accessible as Disneyland. Maureen Reagan

I be doing?' Now I know it will all come to me. I just have to trust my path, so that's very different. Jenna Dewan There are moments in history that people should be reminded of. James Sanborn I probably have fundamentally antisocial tendencies. I never took one extracurricular activity. I just failed utterly at that level. Part of me still rebels against that. Maya Lin I'm the worst Bond, according to the internet. Generally hated! Roger Moore I do believe we're all adaptable, and you're probably more adaptable than you realize. Julia Leigh The woman that deliberates is lost. Joseph Addison I am not, I repeat, NOT a lesbian - even though I'd like to be one when I grow up. Dawn French My experience of the world is that things left to themselves don't get right. Thomas Huxley In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this. Terry Pratchett I have started that which the country will not willingly let die.

be one of the weakest creatures; but associated with his kind, he works wonders. Daniel Webster I believe the human mind is a very fallible thing, but it's the only thing that I can really know, I guess. Grimes Some fatherlands are difficult. Germany is one of them.

Chesterton Sacred cows make very poor gladiators. Nikki Giovanni Happy is harder than money. Anybody who thinks money will make you happy hasn't got money. David Geffen

a metaphor for our insatiable lusts and inner desires. Humans craving what they can't have and those secret appetites transforming them into beasts, or even killers. Rob Sheffield A human being at rest runs on 90 watts. That's how much power you need just to lie down. And if you're a hunter-gatherer and you live in the Amazon, you'll need about 250 watts. That's how much energy it takes to run about and find food. Geoffrey West Censure is a limp noodle across the wrist of the president. I think the way we vote on the articles will express the way we feel stronger than any censure vote. Larry Craig I think a lot of romanticizing has gone on with the women's movement.

Wen Jiabao I always think of myself as an 18-year-old beginning my career, all the time. Marian Seldes My mother won't tolerate any four-letter

I'm going to explode. But I'm still really happy. I know it looks like a strange and painful upbringing - all those experiences led me to the paths that I'm on now. Drew Barrymore This time, there were no drugs involved. The hours were completely normal daytime hours. I think we were able to appreciate the interplay, where before we had taken it for granted. Lindsey Buckingham I love Interscope, I love Star Trak. Teyana Taylor Good health and good sense are two of life's greatest blessings. Publilius Syrus I think I understand something about space.

Lao Tzu My good friends are Mormon, some of the best people I know. Katherine Heigl As I've said many times, the single most oppressed class in America right now is the teenager.

Warren Farrell We hope to do the Spanish Tragedy based on the play by Thomas Kyd. Alex Cox When you're through changing, you're through.

can pull down information, access content and allow me to share and work and communicate, the vast majority now are not Windows computers. They are iPhones. They are iPads. They are Android devices. Aaron Levie There was a generation of people who moved here to make something of themselves. They had to really struggle and created really something on their own apart from a lot of attention. It was a really exciting time here. Arto Lindsay I have Vie Luxe candles in every room. In 2006 I spent the month of August in Sardinia, and the scent reminds me of the wonderful time we had. Tamara Mellon I like to think of myself as a New Yorker, which is pathetic. Moon Unit Zappa I quite agree with you. The sun is not kind. God should use a rose amber spot.

Soren Kierkegaard The Steelers have influenced everything I've done as an adult. Joe Greene I ca

Louisiana food. Of all the things I had cooked, it was the best-and it was my heritage. Paul Prudhomme I prize the conditions under which I have lived because they have permitted me to choose my opportunities, to inquire into such matters as interested me, and to publish what I believed to be true, uncontrolled by any central authority. Arthur Keith I'm never anywhere for more than three weeks. Clemence Poesy I proved to my own satisfaction that I am madder than I think. Craig Ferguson Well, we have certainly produced great art before we did this. In my view, there are any number of areas of government which tax money should not be spent.

Kris Allen Bill Cosby was the first comedian I was exposed to, because he doesn't curse. Chris Rock I haven't done a book for about 3 or 4 years now. Gerald Scarfe My rule of thumb i

be honest. I was going to go into psychology or something like that. Or business. And then some moment of madness took over and I decided, 'Oh, I'm gonna go to London and try to be an actor.' Amrita Acharia The last thing I want is to walk into my house after a long day and see all the Grammys and awards. It would make me feel weird.
