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...

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.

Rick Riordan

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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...

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...

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.

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...

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

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.

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

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.

Rachel Dratch My main memories of my father are of his illness. Daniel Day-Lewis

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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...

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

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...

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...

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

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

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 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

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 ...

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...

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 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

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

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...

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...

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

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.

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

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...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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.

was very brave of them. They also wanted to give the opportunity to people who didn't go to drama school.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

Bo Jackson If Scotland and A...

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

William Congreve I think my favorite experience is whatever I'm doing now. Skitch Henderson

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.

communities for Christ in an increasingly skeptical culture. Lee Strobel America was and is the immigrant's dream.

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

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.

political enthusiasm for public spectacles and the periods when we are least able to pay for them.

Charles de Montesquieu

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.

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

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.

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?

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. Tracey Emin Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors because he takes chances. Bai Ling I know very few Americans, though I like the way they think. They think big. 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...

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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....

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...

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.
