A career is a job you love, right? That's what a career should be. If

you're in a job that you hate, you should quit. That's the way I look at it. I'm in a job that I love, so I'm going to make it my career. Cameron Sinclair My pipe business I created from scratch; my media assets and bank I bought from the secondary market. Victor Pinchuk I don't want to be reincarnated, that's for sure. When you've had rewarding experiences in your life - a loving family, friends - you don't need additional reassurances that you're going to do something with a new cast of characters. I'd just as soon pass. Lewis Thomas Even the smallest dog can lift its leg on the tallest building. Jim Hightower The Patriot Act allows and provides a basis for an exchange of information. John Ashcroft Cardio is the devil. Stephen Moyer The music industry is so easy compared to the ballet world. Vanessa Carlton Stability is why society has an interest in marriage. Gene Robinson I like people that are not frightened to say wh

Certainly Afghans in general and women in particular want a country in which security is

a daily reality rather than a campaign slogan or the focus of drive-by speeches from diplomats dropping in for the day. Gayle Tzemach Lemmon You know, sitting in the car when they got back in and - first of all, it was relief. I was not - there were two get away cars or switch cars they were called. And, you know, the group tended to include everyone. Patty Hearst We all have our pet things that we like to get religious about. Max Cannon Great men are rarely isolated mountain-peaks; they are the summits of ranges. Thomas Wentworth Higginson When I see what I want, I do it. Estelle Parsons My work is not great, but it's respectable. Maurice Sendak When we go somewhere in New York, I'm known as Mr. Savini. Jimmy Webb Id like to do an action film or a dark sort of independent piece. Devon Sawa What keeps me up at night is poverty and unemployment. Abdullah II of Jordan I like to have a simple workplace. Rick Riordan

It's interesting going between small parts and then bigger roles where you carry the film.

If the writing is good, and if the people involved have integrity, then you'll do it, even if it's only five minutes on screen. Brendan Gleeson Sad Patience, too near neighbour to despair. Matthew Arnold But now I know that it is very important that all buildings should be consistent, that this is the quality of the Gothic cathedral, for instance, that we like. Minoru Yamasaki It's on my bucket list, to get in a real fight. Naya Rivera I wake about 1 a.m. I'm in the office by 2 a.m. We're on the air at 5. Bob Edwards I like very much to do movies. John Malkovich Everyone likes a bit of competition. Jamie Dornan The willingness to learn new skills is very high. Angela Merkel I'm on national TV in front of millions and I hate making mistakes. Terry Bradshaw I'm a big fan of the digestive system. David Macaulay

Where is the civil rights groundswell on behalf of stronger marriages that will allow more

children to grow up in two-parent families and have a better chance of staying out of poverty? Juan Williams It's such an amazing thing to be loved for who you are. Debra Winger At one time they've been the most important thing to me. So I can't hear our records on the radio, I can't stand it, because they sound so out of what everyone else is doing. Ray Davies I hate my name. It's a stupid, horrible name. McG I knew that I was going to do Westerns. I like 'em. Luke Perry I will reveal the secrets behind these doors. Zahi Hawass One thing I don't like is complaints. Eric Ripert How does one measure the success of a museum? J. Paul Getty You can't underestimate how traumatic divorce is for the children. Isla Fisher I'm not that kind of publicity, attention-grabber type of artist. Jessica Simpson

For instance, I'm always fascinated to see whether, given the kind of fairly known and

established form called popular music, whether there is some magic combination that nobody has hit upon before. Brian Eno You have to give people the opportunity to prove themselves. Richard Masur I fill my life with a lot of 'busyness' in between jobs. Then I work very hard. Some of it is quite unhealthy. It's compulsive. I don't know what to do about it. I'm a little old to change. Hume Cronyn There is so much that people take for granted. Vivienne Westwood Some music really does suck! Henry Rollins Sometimes, I'm very embarrassed. Jackie Chan I don't know people who don't say, boy the government is working better now. Andrew Cuomo When you ain't got no money, you gotta get an attitude. Richard Pryor Your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative. William S. Burroughs I'm just going to play whatever game is in front of me. Tim Duncan

One similarity I see between peers and some of the people who read my books

is that comics were definitely an outlet for us. Brian Michael Bendis But then again in the East Coast, I think, Tupac, inspired everybody on the East Coast, everybody down south, everybody in the West Coast you know what sayin'. Bubba Sparxxx It's the best thing in the world, the most challenging thing in the world, being a parent, and one of the first lessons I learned was to ask for help. Kerri Walsh Jennings Bad boys do get the girls. Tom Felton I was always really shy so I'd never try to get a guy's attention. Kim Kardashian I'm excited by challenging myself physically and mentally every day. Emily VanCamp I feel fulfilled when we've revealed a person. Mike Wallace I've always liked simplicity. Marissa Mayer There has to be room for people to make mistakes and lead their own lives. Vanessa Kerry I think listeners are hungry to hear quality. Patty Griffin

Jews have deep respect for the Queen and the royal family. We say a prayer

for them every Sabbath in synagogue. We recite a special blessing on seeing the Queen. Jonathan Sacks I'm not a relationship expert. I'm an expert on manhood. Steve Harvey I have a lot of appreciation for what people do in front of the camera as well as behind the camera. I don't think I could like one without the other. Eventually, I think the road will lead me down to producing or directing, because it's more about problem solving. Masi Oka We all love musical architecture; there's no doubt about that. Levon Helm I just love dogs, and there really is no better companion than an animal. Rita Rudner I swear allegiance to the Republic of Sudan. Salva Kiir Mayardit I would never give anybody any advice about anything. Clive Owen I'm a Southerner - I never take satisfaction in touching a nerve. Kathryn Stockett The wealthy are always surrounded by hangers-on; science and art are as well. Anton Chekhov I want the score to have a really big

Convincing people to give your way a try will work if you neutralize - and

sometimes you have to cauterize - the ones who really are against change. They're the kind of person who, if you tell them it's raining outside, they'll fight you tooth and nail. Geoffrey Canada Voting the names of the dead, and the nonexistent, and the too-mentally-impaired to function, cancels out the votes of citizens who are exercising their rights - that's suppression by any light. Artur Davis We do spend time talking about it and we puzzle through it together. We ride the roller coasters together - the high highs and the low lows. Kyra Sedgwick If you fail to prepare, you're prepared to fail. Mark Spitz I became a musician so I wouldn't have to get up at 6 in the morning. Norah Jones I have been in danger of being drowned twice. John Aubrey I always try to think of a vocabulary to match different musical situations. Roscoe Mitchell Completing a book, it's a little like having a baby. John le Carre My skin is very sensitive. Eri

The business of popularizing crime is how we expose the faults in our justice system.

It's how we expose police misconduct. Bill James Sovereignty is a word that is used often but it has really no specific meaning. Sovereignty today is nominal. Any number of countries that are sovereign are sovereign only nominally and relatively. Zbigniew Brzezinski I'm always drawn to the thing I think I can't possibly do, because I tend to be better when I think I can't possibly do something than I am when I'm pretty sure I can do something. Emily Mortimer My bladder cancer was related to smoking, and I think smoking kills people. Bob Schieffer No God without a world, and no world without God. Friedrich Schleiermacher Criticism is valuable... and self-congratulatory experiences are not. Harold Prince I love people for giving me their time. It's a privilege - I make the most of it. David Bailey What we live by we die by. Robert Frost I think you're not a human being unless you have doubts and fears. Mike Krzyzewski All I've ev

I would say 90 percent of Christians do not have a worldview, in other words

a view of the world, based on the Scripture and a relationship with God. Josh McDowell Whether my columns are worth reading isn't for me to say. John Podhoretz I wrote a novel about Israelis who live their own lives on the slope of a volcano. Near a volcano one still falls in love, one still gets jealous, one still wants a promotion, one still gossips. Amos Oz A blunt statement can be as false as any other. Mason Cooley Fatigue makes cowards of us all. Vince Lombardi Well, I'm an optimist. Harry Connick, Jr. You can make an audience see nearly anything, if you yourself believe in it. Mary Renault I'm an old trial lawyer. Patrick Leahy Celebrity and secrets don't go together. The bastards will get you in the end. George Michael I'm trying to live every moment as much as I can. Valerie Harper

With a fourth generation of nuclear power, you can have a technology that will burn

more than 99 percent of the energy in the fuel. It would mean that you don't need to mine uranium for the next thousand years. James Hansen I'm less desperate now to express what's inside me, that's true - I act these days because it keeps me awake and interested, an eternal student. Emmanuelle Beart The faith I was born into formed me. Huston Smith If you live long enough, you'll experience everything. Robert Torricelli If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company. Jean-Paul Sartre I applied to American Repertory School up at Harvard at got in. Ajay Naidu Art is commenting on what's going on around you in your life. Al Jourgensen I always wanted to teach. Mike Krzyzewski I've made the decision not to do radio anymore. Laura Schlessinger For me, the great thing about music is that anybody can do it. Jarvis Cocker

Milos said, You're my first choice. From my point of view, that doesn't pay the

rent. I said, Tell me what I have to do next because I'm busy painting my kitchen. F. Murray Abraham I can't tell you how lucky I feel to be able to collaborate with some of my dream producers. Carly Rae Jepsen After I can be happy with knowing that I did what I wanted to do. Namie Amuro I have a lot of male friends. Joan Collins I look at 'Breaking Bad' as a show about the American family. Giancarlo Esposito My dad went to USC and it always had been very important to me and my family. Miranda Cosgrove I grew up in the kitchen, mostly with my grandfather, my mother and my aunt Raffy. Giada De Laurentiis I don't really like the slogan 'It boy.' Emile Hirsch A cricket ground is a flat piece of earth with some buildings around it. Richie Benaud It's hard to balance everything. It's always challenging. Vera Wang

At the same time, one of the things I noticed was that the moment there

was any kind of audio attached to virtual reality, it really improved the experience, even though the audio didn't feel like a sound engineer or composer had been anywhere near it. Thomas Dolby The year after I graduated college I had a job in a library. When people underlined passages in the library books, or made notes in the margins, the books were sent to me. I erased the lines and the notes. Yes, that was my job. Lev Grossman To sustain longevity, you have to evolve. Aries Spears Just eat less and exercise more. Mark Hyman Regulations about environments are going to get tougher and tougher. Carlos Ghosn You have to have been a Republican to know how good it is to be a Democrat. Jackie Kennedy You had to learn at a certain age what sarcasm is, you know? Penny Marshall As a writer you have a duty to be a messenger. Jay Griffiths In real life, I'm gorgeous, beautiful. Rachel Dratch My main memories of my father are of his illness. Daniel Day-Lewis

Although filmmaking is collaborative and involves trust, ultimately it is the director who holds the

whole picture together in their head. Julia Leigh I want to live. I didn't have time to die. Tionne Watkins One of the surprising things in this world is the respect a worthless man has for himself. E. W. Howe Heritability pertains to the entirety of the genome, not to a single gene. Steven Pinker Practice without improvement is meaningless. Chuck Knox I really wanted to work hard on my lyrics. Brody Armstrong I have had four happy days in my life, and three of them turned out to be illusions. Taylor Caldwell Sin carries in it its own misery. John Piper The importance of information is directly proportional to its improbability. Jerry Pournelle Stephen King. Now I'm not crazy about him, but he's a great a writer. Mickey Spillane

People that could yodel always fascinated me. People that could sing loud always fascinated me.

So I started trying to mimic at a really young age: 6, 7 years old. Brandi Carlile If children are studying the 20th century, I'm in their text books. Paul McCartney Gay life in 1970 was very bleak, compartmentalized. You didn't take it to work. You had to really lead a double life. There were bars, but you sort of snuck in and snuck out. Activism and gay pride simply didn't exist. I don't even think the word 'gay' was in existence. Larry Kramer Good taste is as tiring as good company. Francis Picabia Young people need models, not critics. John Wooden Many a good newspaper story has been ruined by over verification. James Gordon Bennett The Americans have always been food, sex, and spirit revivalists. Edward Dahlberg So when I'm working out I do things extreme. Taylor Dayne When you get to play with the big boys, your game improves drastically. Ajay Naidu Having children really changes your priorities. Cindy Crawford

I just want to be a nice girl from the Midwest - I don't want

to have to act like a heavy to be taken seriously, and I resent that I have to be so pushy and political sometimes just to do my job. Cindy Crawford My mother had a son from previous marriage and her husband died in Second World War. Mikhail Baryshnikov Your life works to the degree you keep your agreements. Werner Erhard Music is my first love. Mandy Moore I love painting and have a need to do it. Emma Watson The ambitions for Thatgamecompany are very exciting to me. Mitch Lasky If you didn't have some sense of idealism, then what is there to sustain you? James Carville Throughout my pictures I employ a lighting which is not naturalistic. Douglas Sirk I'm not an outdoors person by instinct or nature. I'm more of a city person. Jim Sturgess I've never been around pets. I didn't have pets as a child. Ioan Gruffudd

I think maybe since there isn't a great deal of access to the mainstream media

and people don't understand the language of mainstream media, if you put music out there with lyrics that are loosely political, people absorb some of it and spit it back out. Thom Yorke To play in the Olympics, to play for your country, there's nothing like it. You love doing it and I'm looking forward to it again. We're all looking forward to trying to win another gold. Joe Sakic I love the part of Hector as it takes me back to playing eccentric parts. He is a funny character, which is fine by me as I've been playing for laughs for decades now! It's lovely to get a laugh; it's the best thing in the world! Richard Briers I have two older sisters; I'm the youngest. Elizabeth Perkins It's all about love. David Coverdale I loved anything to do with animals from a very early age. Edith Widder We didn't make no mistakes. We didn't make no mistakes. Joseph Jackson You know when Jerry Ford gets the best joke, you know you'r

'Jamie' is what my mother gave me, and that takes the onus off of being

big. Somebody thinks, 'Oh, Jamie - how threatening can he be?' James Cromwell I wish my artwork could persuade millions of people to join a global conversation about sustainability. Edward Burtynsky The Kobe craze really annoyed me. Most of the practitioners had no real understanding of the product and were abusing it and exploiting it in terrible and ridiculous ways. Kobe beef should not be used in a hamburger. It's completely pointless. Anthony Bourdain But, you know, sex is controversial, it just is and it always will be. Liam Neeson I really like performing for people. Dan Harmon The story behind every song is individual to itself. Kelly Jones Quick. Name ten dead redheads. Douglas Coupland My arse contemplates those who talk behind my back. Francis Picabia I pray as much as possible. Tinie Tempah But doing what I do, you will never get unanimity of people. Dan Abrams

And we had a DJ - my childhood friend from Chicago came to be the

DJ at our party out in LA. It was a party, rockin' and rolling, and it was dancing and fun. For me it was different; just to have family with us. Jami Gertz I'm obsessive enough about getting fit, it's ridiculous. I'm 40 now, and I've got to stop doing it soon. I have to start getting fat and old! Daniel Craig There was a time when I didn't like myself at all. I thought I was a cruel joke. But now I've come to realise that maybe I am not cute, but I am beautiful. CeeLo Green Golf is hugely important, as it keeps me going. Bruce Forsyth Brazil has no future as a China with fewer people. Roberto Unger I'm passionate about old people because I am one myself. Len Goodman With Indian migrants all over the world, money transfer is a big business in India. Lloyd Dorfman I can never predict what's going to happen. Bryan Ferry I was big and fat and had weird parents. Richard Griffiths I've been on the road I think probably three

Investment banking is not a business; it is a personal service where bankers work hand

in hand with their clients. And it is a service that must not simply be about making bigger and bigger deals that reap rewards for only a small group of executives. Felix Rohatyn History demonstrates that previous military drawdowns invited aggression by our enemies. After World War I, America drew down forces until the U.S. Army had fewer than 100,000 men in uniform. That weakness invited Nazi aggression in Europe and the imperial Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor. Frank Gaffney I was a big Jersey meat-and-potatoes kind of guy before I got here. Scott Wolf I don't think I am narcissistic. I think I have low self-esteem. Lorraine Bracco I had a happy childhood. Alastair Campbell What a crazy idea to put me on a family show! Howard Stern Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is. Jackson Pollock I would like to do something modern and possibly funny. Dan Stevens Change in my work happens not in revolutions - it's more evolutionary. Wo

Indian religion has always felt that since the minds, the temperaments and the intellectual affinities

of men are unlimited in their variety, a perfect liberty of thought and of worship must be allowed to the individual in his approach to the Infinite. Sri Aurobindo I'd always somehow felt slightly as if I'd been born in the wrong country. Christopher Hitchens Not even my excellent training at Juilliard prepared me for my first movie role, where I played a transsexual who falls in love with a military guy in 'Soldier's Girl.' Lee Pace I still love a variety of kinds of music. Gloria Gaynor I'm not really the nurturer type. Maura Tierney I'm very forgiving so I forgive most things, really. Tory Burch I can't work without my family being with me. Bethenny Frankel I've always been strong-minded, but I wonder. Alicia Keys I'll take anything and slap it on a canvas. Matthew Lawrence Race, redemption and healing - that's my thing. Bebe Moore Campbell

You look up to your parents and you want them to accept you, and you

don't want them to look at you in a negative light. So you do things to make them proud and accept you. Adepero Oduye I was in 30-plus clubs when I was 14 years old. T-Pain What is a rebel? A man who says no: but whose refusal does not imply a renunciation. Albert Camus I waited with a beeper for a year and 10 months to get that gift. Shelley Fabares I didn't get hurt in the contest. I hurt it the next day. Jimmy Piersall I do believe in happy-ever-after. Tamara Ecclestone Some nights, I was so good that I could have become an egotist. Ted Lindsay I don't really consider myself to be famous. Victoria Justice Broadway is a main artery of New York life - the hardened artery. Walter Winchell I'm tired of wasting letters when punctuation will do, period. Steve Martin

That first week, I also went to Washington. That was really tough. I sympathize with

those Washington figures who have to face 40 Times Washington bureau reporters. They ask hard questions and they're relentless. And they were quite suspicious and quite dubious about me. Daniel Okrent Nothing was a style first. Everything started as an idea. A guy did something with an idea. Someone copied him. Some copied all of them and it became trendy and then it became a style. Bill Laswell I know exactly where I've come from, I know exactly who my mum and dad are. Christopher Eccleston We set ourselves a limit and cut characters which weren't so vital. Dino De Laurentiis You cannot combine being a movie star with not being a movie star. Martin Amis But I think musicals are going to have to deal with important subjects. Vincente Minnelli I have begun to sympathetically understand Paul, though I don't like him much. Lionel Blue I'm not into the whole showbiz scene. Samantha Mumba I followed the rules, and I was a high achiever. Daniel Gr

I've had lots of friends who've gone through 'Battlefield' situations in their relationships, so when

I was singing the song I put myself in their position and tried to imagine what they were going through. I got so, so into it and I think you can tell. Jordin Sparks I believe so much in the power of performance I don't want to convince people. I want them to experience it and come away convinced on their own. Marina Abramovic To know one's self is wisdom, but not to know one's neighbors is genius. Minna Antrim Such as we are made of, such we be. William Shakespeare I don't know if you can catch my vibe, but I'm a pretty laid-back guy. Adam Pally Hemingway said the only way to write about a place is to leave it. David Guterson A peacetime draft is the most un-American thing I know. George Wald I want to play until the end. Gabrielle Reece History is written by the victors. Winston Churchill I don't name sources. Nelson DeMille

The partnership over the 28 years we had the company afforded him the opportunity to

experiment and live his life as an artist and a label honcho and do what he wanted to do. It afforded me the same opportunity. Jerry Moss I've gone through many, many things. I tell you something, that if it doesn't kill you, you get stronger. Judy Collins They had certainly exasperated them, and could not disperse them, as after every charge - and some of these drove the people right against the shutters in the shops in the Strand - they returned again. Walter Crane My artistic spirit is not nurtured by blogospheres. Danai Gurira I take a lot of flak from the counter-establishment for selling out. Chuck Palahniuk Reasonable people can reasonably disagree on policy. Mark McKinnon Old age: the crown of life, our play's last act. Marcus Tullius Cicero If I don't wear something I feel confident in, I don't play as well. Venus Williams Before a group can enter the open society, it must first close ranks. Stokely Carmichael I went onto reality

Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience

that reveals the human spirit. e. e. cummings Life consists not simply in what heredity and environment do to us but in what we make out of what they do to us. Harry Emerson Fosdick Deep down, I reckon the sweetest moment will come when it's finally all over. When, at last, I know that I can stop fighting. Of course it'll also be a little sad. The sweetest moments, y'know, always come with just a little sadness. Evander Holyfield I think a movie is a media that is evoking feelings. Ang Lee Brian Cox is the nicest guy, but he's so arrogant. Danny Boyle When you've got a new family, any kind of security you can have is great. Matthew Goode Each moment is perfect and heaven-sent, in that each moment holds the seeds for growth. Suzan-Lori Parks What a stupid attitude we have in this country to personal stories. Amanda Burton English culture is highly literary-based. Peter Greenaway Father of four. I like the sound of that. Frederik, Crown Pri

I've never been one to just do what I'm told. I don't say that necessarily

with pride, it's just something that has gotten me in trouble before. Jemima Kirke Ever since the Beatles, the concept of lovable mop tops, it's a bit of a fantasy, but it's a lovely idea that people make wonderful music and live a wonderful life being friends together. Sadly, life isn't quite like that. Nick Mason We gave up on the idea of trying to make the record a good representation of the live performance. John Cale Pride is pleasure arising from a man's thinking too highly of himself. Baruch Spinoza The very first stock I bought right out of college was Berkshire Hathaway. Christie Hefner I like to let things breathe. Kendrick Lamar The worst wheel of the cart makes the most noise. Benjamin Franklin I love jewelry, I love bracelets, necklaces, but most of all I'm casual. Helena Mattsson I wish I was a teenager in the 1970s. Ellen Page Anger elicits anger, fear elicits fear, no matter how well meaning we may be. Martha Beck

I actually worked in the general market for many years writing steamy historical romance, and

I had more freedom in the Christian market than I ever did in the general market to write about any issue that I needed to write about. Francine Rivers Private ownership of property is vital to both our freedom and our prosperity. Cathy McMorris Rodgers On second thought, I think I am more crazy than my goat. Remedios Varo Anything that is non-violent is OK with me. Jasmine Guy I was fighting every windmill, especially when I was in college. Bill Parcells Our show is about starting over. Jai Rodriguez Peace in Palestine is inevitable. The question is how do we make it happen today. Darrell Issa It is awfully important to know what is and what is not your business. Gertrude Stein Now more than ever, America needs an agenda for real change. Rick Larsen Luckily I have never missed a day's filming or work due to asthma. Kevin McCloud

I want people to understand that I intend to continue living and doing all the

things that I love to do up until the end. And the end is by no means rushing up on me. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar I don't have a TV or watch movies. I don't like to be broadcast to, I want to participate. Pete Cashmore I walk an 11-minute mile without huffing and puffing. Jessye Norman I am my own main rival. Dayron Robles Truth is on the side of the oppressed. Malcolm X Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th. Julie Andrews Throw moderation to the winds, and the greatest pleasures bring the greatest pains. Democritus Sports isn't just a part of life. It's not life itself. Stedman Graham People need to understand that in Washington, the process is the punishment. David Frum I fell in love with Dorset and ended up living there for a while. Julie Harris

As I get older, I'm slowing down and, yes, calming down in my desire to

be taken seriously. That I can be entertaining and funny and high nervous energy can work against me as a serious composer, slowly but surely you'll see me be quieter just so that people will listen. Marvin Hamlisch And I think we understand we cannot make social change for all workers until we have enough strength, membership strength, and at the same time having membership strength and only making change for a limited group of workers is not what our country really needs for people that work. Andy Stern I suppose when I was writing 'V for Vendetta' I would in my secret heart of hearts have thought: 'Wouldn't it be great if these ideas actually made an impact?' So when you start to see that idle fantasy intrude on the regular world... It's peculiar. Alan Moore I want to read Keats and Wordsworth, Hemingway, George Orwell. Aravind Adiga I do like the research part of writing, I must admit. C. J. Box One cannot become a saint when one works six

It is not entirely true that a TV producer or reporter has complete control over

the contents of programs. The interests and inclinations of the audience have as much to do with the what is on television as do the ideas of the producer and reporter. Neil Postman No matter what you're going through, as long as you have some specific emotion, whether it's positive or negative, it is all stuff that you can use on stage. Reeve Carney President Bush's war on Iraq is viewed broadly in Islamic communities as an attack on Islam, and thus the President has alienated a large part of one fifth of the world's population. John Olver There's nothing like a good pair of heels. Bridget Moynahan My songs don't play on pop radio; they play on black radio. Robin Thicke Facts are facts and will not disappear on account of your likes. Jawaharlal Nehru If I live for another ten years I shall probably have written all that I want to write. Laurence Housman I don't have a stack of scripts. Bob Newhart My worst habit used to be smoking bu

Mindfulness helps us freeze the frame so that we can become aware of our sensations

and experiences as they are, without the distorting coloration of socially conditioned responses or habitual reactions. Henepola Gunaratana I like fishing. Not actual fishing - I like the peace and quiet of being at sea. It's different. Rafael Nadal Hubble is very close to my heart, and going back to Hubble, because I was there once already in 1993, is really a great privilege for me. Claude Nicollier I'm quite introverted but I'm not shy. Marian Keyes For me to grow, I have to know about the foundation that came before. David Copperfield I like to scare myself and throw myself off the deep end. Samantha Barks When a writer dies you get a higher standard of obituary. Arthur Smith There is no falsification before the emergence of a better theory. Imre Lakatos If a man has nothing to eat, fasting is the most intelligent thing he can do. Hermann Hesse To try to fix the future is a manifest absurdity. Iain Sinclair

If Colleen Howe had been a hockey player, she would have been a centremen. I

can see her as a centreman because you can do what you want and go wherever you want to go. Gordie Howe I'm very unphysical and graceless so basically if you save 10 people to be with you in a resistance movement, you would never save me. I'd be the last one. Connor Jessup I don't like to be out of my comfort zone, which is about a half an inch wide. Larry David I reverted easily to my wild state, that is experimentation. Jack Steinberger My goal was never to sell many records. Chuck Mangione I love to pitch so much. David Cone The children don't wear their masks at home and in controlled surroundings. Martin Bashir Actors were the first people to accept me. Michael Lindsay-Hogg Do not let it be your aim to be something, but to be someone. Victor Hugo Two must-haves for me are a great book and my iPod. Kelly Clarkson

To people who remember JFK's assassination, JFK Jr. will probably always be that boy saluting

his father's coffin. Michael Beschloss The alternative minimum tax was designed to prevent the very wealthiest Americans from overusing certain tax benefits to avoid most of their tax burden. Richard Neal The director had come to Madrid to court me. Victoria Abril There are dumb actors. But there are dumb politicians and dumb bakers. Tim Robbins I try to eat healthy. Nina Dobrev I came to Hollywood originally writing comedy and writing satire. Stephen Gaghan I really enjoy just hanging out at my house since I never get to be there. Jennifer Nettles I want to direct, produce, and write, learning as I go. Emmanuel Lewis I've always put my family first and that's just the way it is. Jamie Lee Curtis I can remember at college, living on 30-cent meals. Sargent Shriver

I'm just trying to keep my mind and my body active. The tough part about

it is that physically I'm sort of limited. Terrell Davis I am not sure how much good is done by moralising about fairy tales. This can be unsubtle - telling children that virtue will be rewarded, when in fact it is mostly simply the fact of being the central character that ensures a favourable outcome. Fairy tales are not, on the whole, parables. A. S. Byatt For me, Batman is the one that can most clearly be taken seriously. He's not from another planet, or filled with radioactive gunk. I mean, Superman is essentially a god, but Batman is more like Hercules: he's a human being, very flawed, and bridges the divide. Christopher Nolan Well, I still write poetry, but I wouldn't call myself a poet. David Duchovny In moments of pain, we seek revenge. Ami Ayalon None merits the name of Creator but God and the poet. Torquato Tasso I love many kinds of music: world music, jazz, classical, pop. Anita Diament My career at Microsoft really was getting in the wa

Harry Cohn did not make me. But I also feel that I probably didn't make

me, either. I think it was a combination. I think that's what made it work. Kim Novak If you economically empower a woman, she represents enormous opportunity that can actually be transformative not only for her family and for her community, but at the aggregate level for the economy. Sheryl WuDunn So that the failures to pass a civil rights bill isn't because of Black Power, isn't because of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee; it's not because of the rebellions that are occurring in the major cities. Stokely Carmichael I do not see why man should not be just as cruel as nature. Adolf Hitler A teacher is a person who never says anything once. Howard Nemerov I don't like to have to pan for gold when I read. Jonathan Carroll The journey has been incredible from its beginning. Sidney Poitier I won't allow myself to have tremendous fear. Calvin Klein I made about 28 movies, and I think about five of them were good. Chevy Chase I

The president's very right about one thing: When you have a disaster of that scale,

whether it be natural or a terrorist attack, there's only one part of our entire government, state or local, that is equipped to handle it, and that's the U.S. military. Warren Rudman I feel like Canadian movies should be as good or better than the competition because of the talent we have here. Someone like Ryan Gosling shouldn't have to come back here because it's a Canadian movie. He should want to come back because some of the best movies are being made here. Kevin Zegers Drug smugglers often use juveniles to carry their shipments into the U.S. because they know the juveniles will not be prosecuted if caught. Timothy Murphy If you want to be a writer, just write. There's no magic to it. Albert Brooks Peace is the umpire for doing the will of God. Edwin Louis Cole Editing is kind of a solitary job. Joe Dante In television you go in with this operating system that it is a crapshoot. David Ogden Stiers I still don't know much about directin

It was with 9/11 that I came to fully appreciate and embrace NPR's irreplaceability as

a sanity preserver, its unique virtues as first responder on the burning scene. James Wolcott Write your story as it needs to be written. Write it honestly, and tell it as best you can. I'm not sure that there are any other rules. Not ones that matter. Neil Gaiman On a summer night it can be lovely to sit around outside with friends after dinner and, yes, read poetry to each other. Keats and Yeats will never let you down, but it's differently exciting to read the work of poets who are still walking around out there. Michael Cunningham My policy on cake is pro having it and pro eating it. Boris Johnson Style isn't just about what you wear, it's about how you live. Lilly Pulitzer Center is a very tough position to play. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Cukor is one of my favorite directors. He was a master at directing women.

I know at one point I had bright red hair and I had bracelets from

my wrist up to my elbow and I was wearing size 50 pants. I wouldn't wear that today, but I'm not embarrassed about wearing it back then any more. Mike Shinoda It was a major dream come true at last. In many respects, Jerusalem is a very modern and important story about people in a period of transition, with all the unrest that permeates society on the eve of a new century. The big life issues are at stake. Bille August I'm a believer that the more I'm giving, the happier I am, and the more beautiful my exterior will be. Janelle Monae Second, the facility at Guantanamo Bay is necessary to national security. Jeff Miller One of my dreams is to walk down the runway during Fashion Week!

Billy Corgan What faith has not been used by demagogues as a club over somebody's head? Francis Collins America was not

The reality is, the United States has global interests. Our defense budget is about the

same as the defense budgets or military budgets of every other country in the world put together. Robert M. Gates The motto of chivalry is also the motto of wisdom; to serve all, but love only one. Honore de Balzac Short stories consume you faster. They're connected to brevity. With the short story, you are up against mortality. I know how tough they are as a form, but they're also a total joy. Ali Smith I went to find myself and save myself by being an agent. Victoria Principal I've always ignored the labels people put on things. Carlos Ruiz Zafon The faces I see in the modeling industry can get dull. Kevyn Aucoin To hell with facts! We need stories! Ken Kesey My first book was the book that changed my life. Stephen Ambrose There's a lot of risk in putting what you suspect you really are into your music. J. Tillman A new era of responsibility is here. Valerie Jarrett

I thought his performance was absolutely wonderful and had said so, but he seemed, as

actors quite often are when they first see something, to be disappointed. I think he expected more from the film and himself. John Schlesinger I'll know how to die with courage; that is easier than living. Georg Buchner I think the more you do this and the more comfortable you become on stage, you start speaking more and becoming more of a character in yourself. Carrot Top I'm not ready for another series. I have fun doing other kinds of things. Robert Urich No one has the last word other than God. Rob Bell My nickname for my mom was 'The Compass.' Dane Cook I don't really believe in the auteur theory. Park Chan-wook It should never be a crime to be gay. Hillary Clinton Ballet-girls have a bad reputation, which is in most cases well deserved. Henry Mayhew I wonder whether my bleak-o-meter is set differently from other people's. Andrea Arnold

was something very personal to me. Enya I don't do earrings. Kimberly Caldwell London's not a white city. So why should our catwalks be so white? Jourdan Dunn I generally only paint people I know, I'm not a flatterer really. David Hockney I'd much rather be known as some curvy Kate than as some skinny stick.

my big league Spring Trainings. I never forgot that. Ryne Sandberg Self-image sets the boundaries of individual accomplishment. Maxwell Maltz There's nobody else on the face of this earth that's playing a sport at a highest level... with a transplant. That alone continues to inspire me, because I realize throughout the whole world the struggles that people are going through. I need to inspire them the best way I can. Alonzo Mourning Contraception doesn't define a woman. Nikki Haley Having a couple really great basics makes it easy to dress well every day. Cameron Russell I do enjoy reading some science fiction.

Ronnie Musgrove

'Skins' wanted to create a new thing by actually casting real teenagers. I think it

was very brave of them. They also wanted to give the opportunity to people who didn't go to drama school. Kaya Scodelario I am convinced, the way one plays chess always reflects the player's personality. If something defines his character, then it will also define his way of playing. Vladimir Kramnik First, we should not be opening our coasts, all of our coasts, to oil drilling when we have not taken the first step, not the first step, to conserve oil. Sherwood Boehlert I've played too many tennis hours. Lindsay Davenport I'm a tech geek. Henry Louis Gates In the office, the mail that came in was always 10 to 1 for me. Davy Jones Without justice you won't have stability. Saad Hariri I think people should be able to do what they want to do. Jonathan Davis Writing scripts is a laborious job that can be a real pain. Shane Black Once you succeed in tennis, financially you become quite well off. Stefan Edberg

I have a question, a question for the president: Do you hate all rich people,

or just rich people who don't contribute to your campaign? Do you hate poor people or do you just hate poor people with jobs? Rand Paul Which would you rather have, capital lined up on your borders, trying to get into your country or trying to get out of your country? We are the capital magnet of this planet and we are the savior for not only people, for not only freedom, but also for capital. Arthur Laffer I sold my first screenplay six months before 'Glee,' but they had the option for a year and now it's back with me. Dianna Agron Do I take care of my body and take conditioning seriously? Yes. Jake Gyllenhaal Conquered people tend to be witty. Saul Bellow I'll do any kind of movie, as long as it's a good version of it. Mark Duplass Money? I lost all taste for it. Taylor Caldwell People use irony as a defense mechanism. David Byrne Run a home like you would a small business and treat it with the same seriousness. Anthea Turner You jus

Never the less, it is no light thing to enter into a profession absolutely foreign

and alien to the people among which one's lot is cast; a profession which seems as dim and faraway and unreal as the shores of Europe. Robert E. Howard Making an Irishness to be proud of in a real Republic. It is the vision of a real Republic where life and language, where ideals and experience have the ring of authenticity which we need now as we go forward. Michael D. Higgins As the egalitarianism of Marxism is attractive to many, socialism could have attracted many followers in America, anyway. But there is no doubt that it could not possibly have affected us so widely and so deeply as it has, had it not been heavily financed. B. Carroll Reece I was at a public school until I was in sixth grade when I moved to New York. Sami Gayle I'm chairman of the Republican Governors Association. Bob McDonnell I think no one could have made peace in Bosnia besides Holbrooke. Michael Ignatieff All my films are all my children. Hayao Miyazaki Money has to serve, not to

If you're designing out of a purely creative place, not thinking of the girl, then

the consumer's not going to take notice. Alexander Wang So, I really don't consider myself a fabulous keyboard player. Geddy Lee What I'm concerned about is endless borrowing, which is going to compromise our economy not only today but in the future. Because we know the decisions we make right now really dramatically impact us in the future, and the debt is literally getting out of our control. Paul Ryan The day you hear someone call me captain will be the day I buy a boat. Guy Lafleur And I wasn't a journalist any more than I was a trained nurse. May Sinclair Why do we never expect dull people to be rascals? Mason Cooley Everybody relates to having a dream. Jennifer Aniston We stitch together our days and edit out our nights. Julia Leigh If heavy metal bands ruled the world, we'd be a lot better off. Bruce Dickinson I've always shot on film, but the times are changing. Richard LaGravenese

To explore technology for me is something that I have to do. Otherwise, I feel

completely left in the back... abandoned. Bernardo Bertolucci I just want to be a part of great stories, whether I'm part of an amazing ensemble cast or I'm leading it or the antagonist or whatever. Zoe Saldana Comedy, drama, Westerns, sci-fi... it's all fine if the story's compelling and the character is interesting to me. I do like action a lot.

Jeffrey Archer Being honest with the public is how they respect you. Angel Haze If you look at my audiences, even in Europe, they're hardly teenagers. Norman Granz I've got two families. Merle Haggard You always have to work to become a better singer, songwriter and performer. Luke Bryan Excellence always sells. Earl Nightingale

And it's a human need to be told stories. The more we're governed by idiots

and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible. Alan Rickman There is a yearning for people to return to elementary moral virtues, such as integrity and commitment. We distrust people who have no centering of values. We greatly respect businessmen, for example, if they display those virtues, even if we don't necessarily agree with the people. Geoff Mulgan Too many pupils at schools in the U.K. want to have careers as footballers or TV hosts, or models, because that's what they're constantly exposed to as the heroes of our time. Sugata Mitra Being the only writer on a successful show is very rewarding. Steven Moffat In the last couple of years I've been picking up my guitar again. Peabo Bryson Painting is a coalescing of experience. Richard Phillips To claim the World Bank is just an extension of U.S. foreign policy is just wrong. Nichol

I was still interested in the youth rebellion but never-the-less I stopped being a victim.

Stopped trying to attack the establishment realizing that it takes too much of your energy. Vivienne Westwood So I really would like to see both parties respond to the poor with greater commitment. But I've got to tell you, the Democrats, I feel, are doing a better job in that respect than Republicans are. Tony Campolo I love to shop, especially in retro stores. I have about a million pairs of old-school sports shoes like Adidas, so that's probably my biggest vice. Carrot Top Life is beautiful but people are crazy. Charles Osgood The addition of nuts in salad... I always find to be beneficial. Larry David When I read, I'm purely a reader. Anne Tyler By seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world can show. Samuel Johnson I'm sad to say that stardom is a commodity in our culture. Christine Baranski I've always lived in a city. Ana Gasteyer Swing will never sound as good as it did in the '40s. Trey Anastasio

I've done so many funny jobs. I worked at a farmer's market through high school.

I worked in the stock room of Ralph Lauren. I graduated to salesperson at Ralph Lauren, which was a big deal to me. I've been a P.A. I've been a stand-in. I've been an assistant's assistant. Allison Williams Few would venture to deny the advantages of temperance in increasing the efficiency of a nation at war. William Lyon Mackenzie King I love women. I'm trying to do beautiful things with them. I'm not trying to insult them. My life is not about that. Calvin Klein Poets, like friends to whom you are in debt, you hate. William Wycherley A wise man proportions his belief to the evidence. David Hume Confusion of sign and object is original sin coeval with the word. Willard Van Orman Quine Prosperity cannot be restored by raids upon the public Treasury. Herbert Hoover Why do you knock yourself out? Take it easy. David O. Selznick Education is the art of making man ethical. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel My gay audience has been with me fro

The Lisa Loeb Eyewear line was created to satisfy all of those people who always

stop me and ask me where I get my glasses because they want some just like mine! Lisa Loeb Being the first to do something like this also registers a lot of attention that the line might not have gotten if all four books had just appeared from one company. Mark Millar I don't mind my eyebrows. They add... something to me. I wouldn't say they were my best feature, though. People tell me they like my eyes. They distract from the eyebrows. Nicholas Hoult It taught me something. It taught you your craft. Billy Eckstine I remember when I was 19, it was pretty tough. will.i.am In a way, one gets stability from being able to order the rational mind. Richard Gere I remember seeing the movie 'To Sir With Love' when I was a little girl. Chaka Khan You have to test your ideas in a public forum. Hillary Clinton If one cannot catch a bird of paradise, better take a wet hen. Nikita Khrushchev I was elected to the Diet in the same way as at every parliamenta

I think objectivity is like this strange myth that people think you're supposed to achieve,

but actually, the dirty little secret is that it's not attainable any more than pure justice is attainable by the courts. Sebastian Junger I would love to find myself in a position where I have to decide, 'Gosh, do I want to be on a series?' Wil Wheaton So is the savage buffalo, especially delighting in dark places, where he can wallow in the mud and slake his thirst without much trouble; and here also we find the wild pig. John Hanning Speke Wait until the baby is born before you start criticising it, I say! Roger Moore Everything happens for a reason. Britney Spears Computers in classrooms are the filmstrips of the 1990s. Clifford Stoll We need to promote development that does not destroy our environment. Wangari Maathai I wish I could do everything in 3D. Martin Scorsese I always wanted to be honest with myself and to those who have had faith in me. Rafael Nadal I try to get over to Iraq and Afghanistan as much as I can. R. Lee Ermey

Right now I'm looking at a liger out my bedroom window. He's half lion and

half tiger. And he's absolutely beautiful. His name is Patrick. Tippi Hedren But we're all so different, we're different ages; we're not vying for the same roles. There's no competition, there's really kind of a sisterhood, on and off the set, you know? Jeanne Tripplehorn One of the reasons, surely, why women have been credited with less perfect veracity than men is that the burden of conventional falsehood falls chiefly on them. Katharine Elizabeth Fullerton Gerould Am I grumpy? I might be. But I think maybe sometimes it's misinterpreted. Harrison Ford I don't want people to remember me going through the motions. Bobby Rahal All in all, I would not have missed this century for the world. Gore Vidal All disc jockeys are without talent. Noel Edmonds - I can't stand Noel Edmonds. Paul Merton Fitzgerald was a modernist. Baz Luhrmann Inequality is as dear to the American heart as liberty itself. William Dean Howells I could hav

The general statement that the mental faculties are class concepts, belonging to descriptive psychology, relieves

us of the necessity of discussing them and their significance at the present stage of our inquiry. Wilhelm Wundt Well, all I can say is thank goodness I had 15 years of theater before ever I did film roles. You build technique that you can rely on. Chris Cooper I used Evernote almost exclusively for researching 'The 4-Hour Body.' I was able to eliminate all of the perpetually open tabs and multiple bookmarking services. It's also all automatically backed up to Evernote, which gives me peace of mind. Tim Ferriss Heaven and earth! How is it that bodies join but never meet? Beah Richards We're far from perfect. It's a human enterprise. Bob Schieffer I wanted to have a normal childhood. Normal relationships. Tommy Rettig There's nothing wrong with things taking time. James Dyson I never approach a character from a negative place. Nina Arianda I think I've learned more about Baroque music than any other genre. Joyce DiDonato The more su

As an early-and-often chronicler of Chicago-on-the-Potomac, I am amazed at the stubborn and clingy persistence

of President Barack Obama's snowblowers in the media. See no scandal, hear no scandal, speak no scandal. Michelle Malkin The human race is facing all kinds of problems, and all we are doing is pointing fingers and saying, 'Your interpretation of the problem is different from my interpretations of the problem.' Shane Smith If we enter into the kind of world that Google likes, the world that Google wants, it's a world where information is copied so much on the Internet that nobody knows where it came from anymore, so there can't be any rights of authorship. Jaron Lanier You don't buy a Picasso because you love the frame. Joss Whedon Something becomes personal when it deviates from the norm. Kathryn Bigelow I was surrounded by sisters. My childhood was all women. Oscar de la Renta I have this thing that, once I finish a movie, I never see it again. Alfonso Cuaron So, I got a lot of recruitment letters from track. Bo Jackson If Scotland and A

Finally, the ecological health of the Mississippi River and its economic importance to the many

people that make their living or seek their recreation is based on a healthy river system. Ron Kind I enjoy seeing new places. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar I was being an artist, being sensitive and technical as artists are. I'm sure Leonardo Da Vinci did that. Artists don't always feel the same as others feel about their work. Roy Ayers I need to be able to rock out. Bryan Adams Reality TV is anything but. James Dyson My 6 years with Murdoch were pivotal for my entire research career. Paul Nurse Frank's bands could play the hardest stuff and make it seem like no big deal. Dweezil Zappa If I'm not working, I have a habit of becoming rather insular. Catherine McCormack If the laws could speak for themselves, they would complain of the lawyers. George Savile I made a classic mistake. I held out for something better. Parker Stevenson

Hundreds of political prisoners still suffer in Tibetan prisons. Freedom of speech is not allowed

in any sense. It is illegal to possess a photo of the Dalai Lama. Joanna Lumley I love who I am and I love my life, but if I could be someone else, I'd be Beyonce in two seconds. Dakota Fanning Modesty: the gentle art of enhancing your charm by pretending not to be aware of it. Oliver Herford I haven't gone home with anybody who tried to pick me up in a long time.

Luciano Pavarotti Music is supposed to wash away the dust of everyday life. Art Blakey And the goal really is to make the audience laugh, to bring them some joy. Todd Barry

I don't really approach stories to make them different from other stuff I've seen, I

just try to get into the character, into his or her head. Try to make it as funny, as scary or as wild as I can so that I really like it. Sam Raimi They say baseball is a slow game. It sure doesn't seem that way when you're in the dugout. You think you have it figured out, but things come up quick. Mike Quade 'Haywire' is full of different kinds of love songs. It's definitely country and a little something for everybody. I feel like the subject matter goes a little deeper about love and relationships. Josh Turner My friends are mostly familiar with music that plays on the mainstream radio. Jessica Sanchez Make-up is an extension of your clothes. Naomie Harris I sometimes like the pictures photographers take of me. Sidney Poitier Many people have fond memories of 'The Monkees.' I fondly remember it, too. Micky Dolenz I can imagine wanting to work with this ensemble and this company always. James Levine I won't eat in a place that h

Her friends say she is very funny. At a family dinner, she stood to go,

and the footman very properly pulled her chair away. At that moment I asked her a question and she sat down again, except there was no chair. Everyone, including the Queen, laughed and laughed. Prince Andrew I'm enjoying my life, post-menopause, so much. It's just so great to grow into yourself, and not be bothered with all that tyranny of biology. Roseanne Barr My earliest acting memory is making up a play for my mom and dad called The Lonesome Baby. I have no idea what The Lonesome Baby was about. I just remember the title. But I'm sure it was an epic. Jane Horrocks To say what your disguise is would be foolish. John McAfee I admire people who are, by nature, kind and fair to others. Sidney Sheldon A lot of the music, and especially rap, I don't understand. Patti Page Women have seen that they have locked themselves up with feminist writing. Nathalie Sarraute The revolution that takes place in your head, nobody will ever see that. Gil Scott-Heron

There's something that's very human about 'Warriorv that brings you out. You're watching the movie

and, yeah, there's fighting - there's a tournament at the end of the movie - but it takes a long time to get to know these people. Tom Hardy But in simple substances the influence of one monad over another is ideal only. Gottfried Leibniz I'm the guy who wrote The Authority Song. Did they think I was kidding? Did they think it was only a song to entertain? John Mellencamp To be an actor, a true actor, you have to be brokenhearted. Shia LaBeouf I could have a roomful of awards and it wouldn't mean beans. Bobby Darin But... watching Steven Barnes taught me to treat my life like an art form. Larry Niven I would never ever talk about my own personal life in an interview. Ross Kemp I only eat one meal a day. Lunch, not dinner. Robert Goulet A little disdain is not amiss; a little scorn is alluring. William Congreve I think my favorite experience is whatever I'm doing now. Skitch Henderson

This will help us next year with the World Cup. I can imagine a lot

of visitors from abroad will be here and asking what happened between 1933 and 1945. A lot of that will come up. I think this will make an important contribution to those discussions. Otto Schily The New Age movement looks like a mixed bag. I see much in it that seems good: It's optimistic; it's enthusiastic; it has the capacity for belief. On the debit side, I think one needs to distinguish between belief and credulity. Huston Smith I think there is an element of nihilism about, but I don't think most artists feel their work is meaningless. Leonard Baskin I like having my hands in the clay. I like the movie-making process. Matthew McConaughey I love getting told no 'cause then I fight even more. Chloe Grace Moretz You can't borrow your way to prosperity. Terry Branstad I've always been very visceral in that I feel things very deeply. P. J. Harvey Conductors don't suffer, they are part of the performance. Michael Tippett When I rememb

Apologetics has an important place in the local church as we seek to influence our

communities for Christ in an increasingly skeptical culture. Lee Strobel America was and is the immigrant's dream. Don DeLillo You're convincing these big, tough football players to wear what was essentially women's lingerie. There was a little bit of a Jedi mind trick that needed to take place. The product really spoke for itself once guys felt it and touched it. Kevin Plank I study history in order to give an interpretation. Oliver Stone It is horrid to smirk. Helen Fielding Free trade is not based on utility but on justice. Edmund Burke I can't say I ever loved my mother; I admired her. Humphrey Bogart The enemy of idealism is zealotry. Neil Kinnock If you're gonna learn how to do something, you'd better learn to do it right. Christopher McDonald I've been a lucky guy. Steve Mariucci

I don't have a warm personal enemy left. They've all died off. I miss them

terribly because they helped define me. Clare Boothe Luce Young voters are crucial. The trend over recent years has been for them to drift away. So anything that gets young voters interested in the electoral process not only has an immediate effect, but has an effect for years and years. Howard Rheingold You can always find the sun within yourself if you will only search. Maxwell Maltz I just have to keep working hard. Paula Creamer In fact, I have never met anyone who didn't like Gargoyles. Keith David One can live in the shadow of an idea without grasping it.

Will Friedle I have no interest in doing anything other than good work. Andrea Riseborough I've always thought of myself as shy. Nicholson Baker

There is an obvious connection, on the declining Roman empire's bread and circuses model, between

political enthusiasm for public spectacles and the periods when we are least able to pay for them. Iain Sinclair If you keep the Sabbath, you start to see creation not as somewhere to get away from your ordinary life, but a place to frame an attentiveness to your life. Eugene H. Peterson I always have a basic plot outline, but I like to leave some things to be decided while I write. J. K. Rowling I have come East to find what the public likes. Sessue Hayakawa I'll try anything once. Yancy Butler In deep sadness there is no place for sentimentality. William S. Burroughs The miracle is this: the more we share the more we have. Leonard Nimoy I'm an individual, and I have opinions. Shia LaBeouf Conscience is, in most men, an anticipation of the opinions of others. Henry Taylor Peace is a natural effect of trade. Charles de Montesquieu

Maybe I'm ego-tripping, but I don't find myself a particularly horrible person, so I don't

think I need to hold back anything I think or feel. Henry Rollins I'm a typically lazy person. It is sort of characteristic of actors. Liev Schreiber I don't make crappy movies. I spend two or three years making a film. I don't take myself seriously, but I take my movies very seriously. Lloyd Kaufman Americans are shy about the body. Ana Beatriz Barros I came to photography by accident. Eve Arnold If isolation tempers the strong, it is the stumbling-block of the uncertain. Paul Cezanne We all know what happens to first ladies who shoot their mouths off. Maria Shriver I've done sport for a long time. Heather Mills Many roads lead to the path, but basically there are only two: reason and practice. Bodhidharma The essence is, what can we do next? And will it be good? Vidal Sassoon

It's hard to draw clear lines between writing and life and I don't think it

is necessary to or necessarily good to. Jonathan Safran Foer Affirmative action based on quotas is wrong - wrong because it is antithetical to the genius of the American idea: individual liberty. Jack Kemp I'm not interested in closure. Some people just have heart attacks and die, right? There's no closure. Larry David None of us is certain about the outcome of the Arab Spring. Kelly Ayotte I don't always just want to do the same thing. Kristen Wiig My family is just an amazing melting pot of wonderful religions and faiths. Rima Fakih I think happiness is a combination of pleasure, engagement and meaningfulness. Ian K. Smith We are all very ready to believe what we like. Samuel Richardson Sure the fight was fixed. I fixed it with a right hand. George Foreman Hollywood is the dream factory, and no one dreams about older women. Amy Heckerling

Again and again, I've seen Bush turn a blind eye as his henchmen have leveled

zealous attacks against his political enemies - assaults which the president himself has sometimes directly encouraged. Paul Begala When something is bothering me, I write a song that tells my feelings. Loretta Lynn We still live with this unbelievable threat over our heads of nuclear war. I mean, are we stupid? Do we think that the nuclear threat has gone, that the nuclear destruction of the planet is not imminent? It's a delusion to think it's gone away. Kevin Costner I'm a Libertarian. I'm liberty, justice for all, liberty for all. Big Boi I am not better than anyone else just because I play football. Tim Tebow I'm one of seven kids. That'll keep your ego in check.

Dee Dee Myers I'm leaving the game of hockey with nothing but great memories. Joe Sakic

The right of the people to a substantive part in the government of the Church

is recognized and sanctioned by the apostles in almost every conceivable way. Charles Hodge People are complicated. People have secrets. It doesn't make them good people or bad people. David Zayas The Chinese leadership hoped that the world would soon forget the Tiananmen Square massacre. Our job in Congress is to ensure that we never forget those who lost their lives in Tiananmen Square that day or the pro-democracy cause for which they fought. Tom Lantos My men have sometimes failed to take a position, but to defend one, never! Stonewall Jackson People don't remember. Revenge is sweet.

Brigitte Bardot I like being by myself. Larry Bird We find many things to which the prohibition of them constitutes the only temptation. William Hazlitt You can get fired from any job at any time. Jorge G

I've got a lot to do, and I hope that by the end of it

all, people will say that Dee Snider was an entertainer, and he did his job well. Dee Snider If something that needs to be done that we don't feel confronting, we do it through the manager. John Oates Just like zillions of children, album covers educated and informed me, and certainly did I later transpose organically, rather than by intent, those principles both in fashion design and photography. Hedi Slimane In 1763 the English were the most powerful nation in the world. Albert Bushnell Hart He's about as predictable as a Wasp on speed. Sid Waddell I shoot from the hip. Gordon Ramsay It's amazing how much you can absorb on a film set. Mia Wasikowska I have no idea what I'm doin'. I've never seen me. Mose Allison I will remember all the days at the Olympics. Bonnie Blair I had a job as a paralegal. I drove a cab. Larry David

Anthropology never has had a distinct subject matter, and because it doesn't have a real

method, there's a great deal of anxiety over what it is. Clifford Geertz There is progress whether ye are going forward or backward! The thing is to move! Edgar Cayce The voice I've chosen to turn to is that of NPR. With a reputation for some of the finest journalism in the country, the nonprofit organization is renowned for its unbiased stance - to the point that it's been accused of being both conservative and liberal. Lynda Resnick I have the mentality of a supporting actor. Paul Giamatti Let's get the elephant out of the room. I'm a conservative Democrat. Scott Howell I never raise my voice! Kristin Scott Thomas It is better not to express what one means than to express what one does not mean. Karl Kraus We don't let them have ideas. Why would we let them have guns? Joseph Stalin Men can do all things if they will. Leon Battista Alberti If I can sleep in until 9 A.M. - wow, what a luxury. Patrick Dempsey

Anyone who knows the history of the Pete Best Band or the Combo, we were

on the verge of breaking in in America. In the mid-'60s, I had great songwriters; we wrote some great stuff. Pete Best You don't have to do everything by the time you're 30. Or 40. All you need is a work ethic. It's what allows you to push through moments of disappointment and self-doubt and fear. Candace Bushnell I think that when a person is insecure about who they are or who they want to be, then it translates on screen, and the choices they make are all about perception. Mila Kunis We all need illusions. That's why we love movies. Monica Bellucci It is not death, but dying, which is terrible. Henry Fielding My music, my songs are 100 percent inspired by girl power. Paulina Rubio I would find myself getting deeply distressed if I lived in hindsight all the time. Andrew Lincoln I taught sixth grade for three and a half years. Ed Bradley But in the free market system, you're forced to change. Roy Romer The fact that I lost my son perm

It is doubtless one of Aristotle's great services that he conceived so clearly the truth

that literature is a thing that grows and has a history. Gilbert Murray I am quite odd-looking in real life. Andrea Riseborough Everyone has something unique about them. Shanina Shaik I think you can decide how much of yourself you're willing to make public. Rupert Friend I own motorized bar stools. Jimmie Johnson I love reading; it's a great way to avoid writing. Tony Kushner Words are impotent to describe certain emotions. Ella Maillart For science must breathe the oxygen of freedom. John Charles Polanyi We do not want the Quebec nation to disappear. Pauline Marois Superstitions are habits rather than beliefs. Marlene Dietrich

I first arrived in New York in 1979. I was 19 and I was going

to University in Houston, Texas, and I decided that I knew what I wanted to do and it was time to go and do it. I literally ran away from college. Candace Bushnell The low points I had all helped make up my character, so I probably wouldn't want to do away with them because I like being flawed and I like having them help me grow and change and become better and stronger. Drew Barrymore History shows that pay-TV subscribers flee in droves to alternative providers when there is even a rare service disruption - demonstrating a quantifiable value for 'must-have' broadcast programming. Gordon Smith After 13 years, I couldn't accept to be number two. Guy Lafleur I think 21st century should be art without objects. Marina Abramovic I've committed to surfing the rest of my life. Lance Armstrong For me, I loved it. I only want to make silent movies now. Jean Dujardin When you look at athletes, they have fundamentals. Raphael Saadiq America is intereste

Hopefully in 2011 the fans will get to see some fights that they want to

see. Manny Pacquiao Vs. Floyd Mayweather needs to happen, and so does David Haye Vs. Wladimir Klitschko. The fans deserve to see fights that they want to see and not just the fights that the promoters want to see. Emanuel Steward I am so excited to perform; I am so ready to perform; I love live performances! I think it's something so different from a track; live is just so unique and cool because the energy is just so different. I cannot wait to have live performances. Claudia Lee Doing Tim's film is always going to be the most pleasure. Let me just put it that way. So, without drawing favorites one way or the other, getting back with him and doing Mars Attacks! was certainly a special treat. Danny Elfman I was always athletic and I could do a lot of things. Shannon Miller My pro-choice activism keeps me busy. Margot Kidder You get to an age when you lose people close to you. Ciaran Hinds Every business and every product has risks. You can't get around it.

For example, the first time McDonald's put a deaf person in a commercial they saw

a jump in sales. I think that happens with other kinds of disabilities and products and that is something that is being realized more and more. Richard Masur It's not an Israeli model, it's a TSA, screwed-up model. It should actually be the person who's looking at the ticket and talking to the individual. Instead, they've hired people to stand around and observe, which is a bastardization of what should be done. John Mica The constant effort towards population, which is found even in the most vicious societies, increases the number of people before the means of subsistence are increased. Thomas Malthus The first step in good reporting is good snooping. Matt Drudge The first movie I had a featured role in was Parting Glances. Steve Buscemi I've always been a big reader. Stewart O'Nan It's a perfectly human instinct to want to be near water. Stone Gossard There is no future for me as a closing pitcher. Danny McBride Blessed are the blin

I was brought up to express myself only when asked to express myself, and then

to do so in a way that's pleasing to hear. But I've always had a need to make my presence known. I was just sort of born that way, I guess. It's my natural tendency. Patty Griffin I'm fascinated by musicians who don't completely understand their territory; that's when you do your best work. Brian Eno I've done a lot of sorts of films that are under the radar. Sam Rockwell I followed the war wherever I could reach it. Martha Gellhorn As a child I really didn't like men at all, in fact. Natalia Vodianova It's not a pleasure torturing actors, although some of them enjoy it. Ang Lee I have always had a relationship with clothes. Phillip Lim Dad was the only adult male I ever trusted. Michael Reagan I always joke and say I want to invent a comfortable stiletto and then retire. Sara Blakely I am a football fan, yeah. Joe Namath

When it's said and done, the one thing I want to leave on this earth

is hope. I have felt hopelessness, and it's a terrible feeling. Hopelessness will destroy you. I want to bring hope to other people. Paula Deen I also think it was important for me and Freddie to be able to have a lot of time to share our lives at the beginning of our marriage rather than my coming home at 9 or 10 at night from the set. Things have really worked out for the best for both of us. Sarah Michelle Gellar I had spindly little ankles, and growing up in Canada, I couldn't skate. I was no good at any sports so was very much a pariah through those adolescent years. Neil Peart Mostly I do films that mainstream Hollywood wouldn't touch. Jason Patric That's where the money is, on the road. Aries Spears In business it's about people. It's about relationships. Kathy Ireland I don't think I ever really got interested in theater. Eartha Kitt I let people know that it was all right to do the kinds of things I did. Little Richard Unempl

The first stage had been all over before the doctors even knew they were dealing

with a new sickness; it was the direct reaction to the bombardment of the body, at the moment when the bomb went off, by neutrons, beta particles, and gamma rays. John Hersey The Royal Family have always had an interest in a number of different areas of society. We are a part of society. Prince Andrew I think we have to be not so afraid of scarcity. We have to be willing to give away all things. Sharon Stone By using novels, I show ordinary kids confronting and overcoming great odds. Lurlene McDaniel Give the lady what she wants! Marshall Field The last three films I've done are about self-immolation. Claire Forlani It is embarrassingly unscientific to speak of anything creating itself from nothing. Ray Comfort It is always dangerous to underestimate anybody. Abdullah II of Jordan Coaches will eventually notice a great attitude, and they respect that. Heather O'Reilly Memory is the first casualty of middle age, if I remember correctly. Candice Bergen

The pressure isn't on my brain, but on my mouth. I realized Sam Malone said

very little, he spoke in little sentences. Which is much more comfortable for me for some reason. Ted Danson My daughter's dabbling in showbiz, and she's done a few commercials. She's auditioned for some movies and shows, so I'm letting her pursue that. I'm OK with it. Candace Cameron Bure Failure to accord credit to anyone for what he may have done is a great weakness in any man. William Howard Taft So, there's only so much you can do with a rock video. Melissa Auf der Maur Really the team often will take on the personality of its coach. Mark Messier I'm the kind of guy that I never forget my teammates. David Ortiz At times during high school and college I wished to be a sportswriter. Luke Ford Certainly tolerance and acceptance were at the forefront of my music. Bruce Springsteen The American dream seems to be thriving in Europe not at home. Fareed Zakaria We must never assume that which is incapable of proof. George Henry Lewes

Republicans say they want citizenship to truly mean something. Let's be equal-opportunity about it and

test everyone, including those very Republicans and others whose forbears came here generations ago. Eric Liu What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course. Marilyn Monroe I was given a horn at an early age. I never really got a chance to think about doing anything else until I was about 18, when I realized I could do something else if I wanted to. In my teens, I was rolling in it. Trombone Shorty I can't re-examine work I did in the past with pride. Daniel Day-Lewis I always tell people that our sports aren't that dangerous. Shaun White I'd love to have children, and I think marriage is great, I really do. Jennifer Jason Leigh One of the things I get amused by is when my opponent talks about the middle class. Scott Walker I'm not the most patient of people. Kobe Bryant Having loved sport my whole life, competing in a Paralympics would be a dream come true. Heather Mills Film is an itch I have yet to scratch. Lea Michele

I'm someone who's done the opposite of whatever the received wisdom is, to keep your

career going into your 50s. Elizabeth McGovern Xerox did OK in moving to digital in the commercial space. They didn't do well in the consumer market, but they're not a consumer brand. They don't even know how to spell consumer. Antonio Perez I'm competitive. I like to compete, and that's basically what the decathlon lets me do. Bryan Clay Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity. John Milton The hankering of the mind is irresistible. Adam Weishaupt My advice is keep your lips away from the spinning things. Adam Savage We are servants rather than masters in mathematics. Charles Hermite I hope people don't think I'm crazy, because I'm not. Macaulay Culkin Reality TV rots people's brains. Georgia Jagger I think the word rich is all relative. Joel Osteen

If Copenhagen were a person, that person would be generous, beautiful, elderly, but with a

flair. A human being that has certain propensities for quarrelling, filled with imagination and with appetite for the new and with respect for the old - somebody who takes good care of things and of people. Connie Nielsen I've done work for both Democrats and Republicans. Mark Zandi This ceremony and the intellectual aura associated with the Nobel Prizes have grown from the wisdom of a practical chemist who wrote a remarkable will. Stanford Moore President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. Clint Eastwood I like to discover new things, and I'm always testing new apps. Francois-Henri Pinault Don't accept that you are in crisis just because everyone says you are. Alastair Campbell I used to be an optimist, but now I know that nothing is going to turn out as I expect. Sandra Bullock Feminine virtue is nothing but a convenient masculine invention. Ninon de L'Enclos Emotional power is maybe the most valuable thing that

I don't mind saying, you know, that I don't take a salary from the church,

and God has blessed me with more money than I could imagine from my books. Joel Osteen I did the first study because I had been exposed to something that I took to be important and interesting - this thought reform process - in the military. Robert Jay Lifton I think we should look forward to death more than we do. Of course everybody hates to go to bed or miss anything, but dying is really the only chance we'll get to rest. Florynce Kennedy My father was a very difficult man. Sade Adu Even when life challenges us, it's a gift beyond all measure. Parker Palmer For the subtlest folly proceeds from the subtlest wisdom. John Webster I know a lot about Jewish comedians. Dana Snyder If I would rescue one of my movies, it would be 'A Little Princess.' Alfonso Cuaron The abdomen is the reason why man does not readily take himself to be a god. Friedrich Nietzsche My grandparents are from Mexico, so I grew up with great Mexican food. M. Ward

It's really hard to imagine there ever being the kind of impact there was when

punk rock happened in the late 70's. I wish there would be one big change like that again, but I don't know if that'll ever happen. Penelope Spheeris You learn more doing than doing training. Ian Hart Pressure is when you play for five dollars a hole with only two in your pocket. Lee Trevino I had to make sure I kept an eye on the real world. Roddy Doyle You don't go into politics unless you want to win. Rand Paul There are only four people who knew what the Beatles were about anyway. Paul McCartney Great CEOs are not just born with shiny hair and a tie. Marc Andreessen You slam the bottom and either walk away or suck it up and get through it. Gabrielle Reece We here in Egypt are fed up with U.S. colonialism. Nawal El Saadawi I'm an independent type. No one tells me what to do. Greta Van Susteren

Sure enough, it wasn't long until I got a call, telling me I had a

scholarship there. It was the only scholarship offer I had and, believe me, I jumped at it. Jack Youngblood At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love. Martin Luther King, Jr. It's just that what's important there is different there than what's important is here. Here, people care that you wrote a book or that you work in the media. Chuck Klosterman I played Hamlet, I played Chekhov and Ibsen and all the classics. Harvey Korman When I die there is nobody to take my place. Keith Haring I never invite idiots to my house. Elizabeth Montagu Sometimes divorce is better than marriage. Sumner Redstone Partnership is the way. Dictatorial win-lose is so old-school. Alanis Morissette I don't want any man to have control over me. Sinead O'Connor I like both movies and TV, so I don't have some big grand plan. Molly Shannon

Limp Bizkit is my main priority, but my side project, Black Light Burns, is still

a labor of love. We have a record written, so we'll see when that comes out. When we tour, we go out in a van and trailer with me driving. Wes Borland 'Content is King,' and with more screens needing entertaining content now than at any time in history, that statement is truer than ever. Mark Burnett I find it hard to relax around any man who's got the second button on his shirt undone. Bill Nighy My father was the center of the family, and everyone tried to please him. Ang Lee I think science fiction is very bad at prediction. China Mieville I talk to myself all the time. Just make sure you answer. Matthew McConaughey Already people are saying we do need a change. George Papandreou Knowing demands the organ fitted to the object. Plotinus I am not a violent person. I actually don't like to hurt people. Gina Carano I have nothing to do with counting the votes. Kenneth Blackwell

As far as Iraq is concerned, let's not forget what the UNSCR is about, that

the main consideration in Iraq is that there is a leader who has been developing weapons of mass destruction, and has been violating UN resolutions for over a decade. Donald Evans While at Cal Tech I talked a lot with Jon Mathews, then a junior faculty member; he taught me how to use the Institute's computer; we also went on hikes together. Kenneth G. Wilson I see the iPad as a wonderful new drawing medium, but I am at a loss as to how to make it pay. David Hockney You want to try to find your heritage. Reese Hoffa I have a real problem with stillness. With just stopping and being quiet. Gillian Anderson It is probably very necessary to present your ego at some point. Eberhard Weber We should be moving toward local currencies not global or European currencies. David Korten Series work is just grueling. Robert Urich You make mistakes. Mistakes don't make you. Maxwell Maltz Laughing brains are more absorbent. Alton Brown

I think any good literature, whether it's for children or for adults, will appeal to

everybody. As far as children's literature goes, adults should be able to read it and enjoy it as much as a child would. Amber Benson I don't think I've ever been accused of being faddish. I'm more Marks & Spencer than Ted Baker. David Miliband I'm very happy with this new record. It's dealing with different aspects of love-it's me making a statement about people doing something with their lives. It is about caring for others. Barry White You know, I do not know, I just want to date someone who makes me happy. Caprice Bourret I do tend to take lines from other lines I like, and then write around them. Syd Barrett Follow your passion. Joel Siegel I have to have some of my voice because I have my own experiences that I lived through. Jamie Kennedy Our message of the day is service does not need a title. Carl Lewis Eccentric behavior is not routinely noticed around a movie set. Gene Tierney I was a drummer and I played the guitar.

There have been multitudes of times in my career where I could have taken an

easier road or a more commercial path, and I've been just like, 'That's not gonna make me happy.' Chris Robinson There's no question that the main location of Al Qaida is in tribal areas of Pakistan. Leon Panetta There really has not been a strong Republican message to either the poor or the African American community at large. Jack Kemp Voting is like alchemy - taking an abstract value and breathing life into it. Sharon Salzberg I've been trying to get cast as a lesbian for years. Gabrielle Union You know, I'm part of that first MTV generation. Alexandra Patsavas I constantly make lists and itineraries and then can't stick to any of them. Freema Agyeman You can't quantify everything a player does to win games. Derek Jeter I have a hard time getting past the day without the nap, so the nap is a must. Mohnish Pabrai Good scripts and interesting stories are hard enough to find. Greg Kinnear

Gemeoss

Years ago nobody was elected on the economic ticket. It was either the education platform,

or it was health or it was other issues. It is only recently that economic values have superceded every other human value. Anita Roddick The physical fabric of the world had to be such as to enable that ten billion year preliminary evolution to produce the raw materials of life. Without it there would not have been the chemical materials to allow life to evolve here on earth. John Polkinghorne I respect the Hall of Fame, and if they think that I'm worthy enough, I would be very honored. And if they don't, I gave it all that I had to this game. Rafael Palmeiro I'm pleased the administration is endorsing the need for legislation dealing with the chemical sector. In the past, the administration's position has been ambiguous. Susan Collins When I was 12 years old, I was hanging out with 23-year-olds. I was into cartoons and Pokemon, and they're all talking about girls. It was a strange way to grow up. Shaun White I read everything. I've always got a b

If I can avoid looking at myself, I will. I don't care to examine myself

or see much of what I do. I never care how I look. Scott Bakula I was 17 when I released my first record. I didn't really figure out what I wanted to say, how to get a message and put it together. Sydney Wayser I've always liked simple. Growing up, I wore corduroys and Lacoste shirts, Maraolo flats, and maybe one gold bracelet. Aerin Lauder I started off with violin, then I started learning guitar, then I went to piano. But I self-taught piano just because I enjoyed it. I've always really enjoyed music. Jesse Spencer Stand up and pledge with me: A government of the United States is not on the auction block. And America is not for sale! Tom Selleck Religion is a very personal thing for me. Religion has its good moments and its poor moments. Elie Wiesel Sweet, delicious Dungeness crab is always a treat. Tom Douglas I'm feeling around for what happens in a post-'Peep Show' world. Robert Webb I'd refer to myself as a feminist. I don't

The higher mental development of woman, the less possible it is for her to meet

a congenial male who will see in her, not only sex, but also the human being, the friend, the comrade and strong individuality, who cannot and ought not lose a single trait of her character. Emma Goldman We had every kind of audience you could name. Young, old, not-so-old, some older than old, some younger than young: they were there, they were there! There was everything. John Hunter Music is something that always lifts my spirits and makes me happy, and when I make music I always hope it will have the same effect on whoever listens to it. Aaron Carter God is not disillusioned with us. He never had any illusions to begin with. Luis Palau Genre is a bookstore problem, not a literary problem. Rick Moody We are the recorders and reporters of facts - not the judges of the behaviors we describe. Alfred Kinsey Power has only one duty - to secure the social welfare of the People. Benjamin Disraeli

One of the worst things about being an actor, besides people being nice to you

and getting free stuff all the time - but really, one of the worst things is not knowing what's coming next. You could shoot a pilot, and they could have you on hold for six months waiting to find out what is going to happen with the show, and you're locked into it. Nick Kroll What, I sometimes wonder, would it be like if I lived in a country where winter is a matter of a few chilly days and a few weeks' rain; where the sun is never far away, and the flowers bloom all year long? Anna Neagle Of course there have been times I regretted being the kid in 'E.T.' My world went completely crazy. I was that stupid kind of famous, where you can't go anywhere. Henry Thomas A lot of the stuff I have done had been not only the likable guy, but like the nice likable guy. Ron Livingston It doesn't have to be a problem for children to be fat, but it does affect you: you aren't as happy in that skin. Harry Melling They always want me to play myself and th

I pondered all these things, and how men fight and lose the battle, and the

thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name. William Morris So, fall asleep love, loved by me... for I know love, I am loved by thee. Robert Browning As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round. Ben Hogan And soon, too soon, we part with pain, To sail o'er silent seas again. Thomas Moore The first step, my son, which one makes in the world, is the one on which depends the rest of our days. Voltaire Soap and water and common sense are the best disinfectants. William Osler There are no insuperable constitutional difficulties. Lionel Murphy

Temptation, if it is not to conquer, must not fall like a bomb against another

bomb of instantaneous moral explosions, but against the strong walls of an impregnable fortress strongly built up, stone by stone, beginning at that distant day when the foundations were first laid. Maria Montessori 'Mission: Impossible' is fun. But for myself as an artist, I'm really more concerned with the human condition, the human experience, especially from an African American point of view. Ving Rhames Woe to those who die in mortal sin! Francis of Assisi I had more energy at 50. On the other hand, at 75, I've probably got a little more wisdom and good judgment than I had at 50 because I've got more experience. But I haven't really changed. I'm still driven by the same philosophy. Ted Turner I let the whole 'Grease' experience be a springboard for me. I wanted to use the exposure I got from that very wisely to continue a successful career. It's taken a lot of work and perseverance. Laura Osnes The Hollywood Film Awards were r

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 agree that we must expand opportunities for retirement saving, but we must not undermine

this worthy effort with a flawed privatization scheme that takes the 'security' out of Social Security. Mary Landrieu I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant. H. L. Mencken A critical factor in its success was that the X developers were willing to give the sources away for free in accordance with the hacker ethic, and able to distribute them over the Internet. Eric S. Raymond The issue is not abortion. The issue is whether women can make up their own mind instead of some right-wing pastor, some right-wing politician telling them what to do. Howard Dean Substance must emanate from spirit and is nothing else than the record of the spirit's conception of itself finding expression in space and time. Paul Twitchell I am not in this world to live up to other people's expectations, nor do I feel that the world must live up to mine. Frit

Even cooking at home, the difference between my wife cooking and me cooking is major.

When my wife cooks, the kitchen looks like a disaster. When I cook it's completely clean and organized and it doesn't look like anyone has been cooking in there. Tom Colicchio The Arab representatives and their followers were not interested in the persecuted millions throughout the world; they were fixed on a political agenda that distracted the world from their own serious shortcomings in the human-rights department. Jack Schwartz If you're at an antiques fair, and have been unable to beat the dealer down earlier in the day, pay a return visit at the end. They may be more inclined to accept your offer, rather than having to pack the piece up and take it home. Judith Miller I think family mealtime is really important. There's a lot of research that shows kids are going to do better in school and have more self-esteem if you can all sit down and eat together. Jewel Since coming back from Iraq, there's been so many triumphs and obstacles standing in my way

It's not an act. I love it. It's totally original. People go, 'What's going on

with this guy? Why does he sound so weird? What is going on in his brain. I don't know. Just one day I suddenly woke up with a new brain. Charlie Sheen I don't plan out my visits rigorously, but I do have a list of about 125 New York galleries, alternative spaces, museums, and so forth that I visit regularly. That's the closest thing I have to a strategy: I go to a lot of places, many that artists don't visit. Jerry Saltz I think that practising the law, particularly litigation, and particularly in Glasgow, has always been difficult enough without adding to it by having problems with professional colleagues or former colleagues. Len G. Murray I guess I found it useful to realise that everything is true at once, you know? You can pull back and say, 'Everything will be fine,' but you can also be in a situation and say, 'Not everything is going to be fine.' Feist Once you understand that someone has Tourette and that they can't help their ti
