What's lovely about what I do for a living is the vast chasm

of variety that constantly just comes at you from all angles. Robert Sheehan Today we have big, crude instruments guided by intelligent surgeons, and we have little, stupid molecules of drugs that get dumped into the body, diffuse around and interfere with things as best they can. At present, medicine is unable to heal anything. K. Eric Drexler You cannot mock God because whatever good thing you do, you're gonna reap for it. Joseph Prince The longest road trip I've ever been on is from Minnesota to Los Angeles. Seann William Scott I'm not a Tony Blair impersonator. Michael Sheen I generally play strong people and scary people. John Hawkes I want to know about what makes an athlete tick. Lisa Guerrero Well, I'm not sure what pop psychology is, but I don't like it. Phil McGraw A diploma only proves that you know how to look up answers. Solomon Short While money doesn't buy love, it puts you in a great bargaining position. Christopher M...

That's not to say Eddie's never done anything malicious. But he never grabbed power for

power's sake. His position was gained only because he has that energy, and that's naturally where he ended up. Stone Gossard As long as there's a few farmers out there, we'll keep fighting for them. Willie Nelson I wouldn't say that holidays are manufactured by corporations, but they're certainly exploited and mined by them. Dan Savage I went into the Air Corps from 1943 through 1945. Bobby Thomson Journalism is always the art of the incomplete. You get bits and pieces. Anthony Shadid I would like to somehow make the community I live in a better place to live. Kevin Johnson I'm very rarely in the gym. My workouts are predominantly outside, in nature. Ryan Kwanten I just don't like the whole Hollywood thing. Robert Carlyle I'm an actress. It's my passion. Sophia Loren I had no idea what I was going to do when they threw me out of school. Don Johnson

And basically, the sense of the 'Pledge to America' is this: Republicans understand when we

were in charge, we got fired in '06. We spent too much money. We defied the trust that the people had put in us. And we know that there is a better way. Eric Cantor I have a dread of sounding pretentious and try not to talk too much about what I do. James Herbert I think that everything's hard now anyways, so you might as well do stuff that you love and believe in. Joan Cusack It's always a wake-up call to get beaten. Usain Bolt I have worked with several dance companies. Issey Miyake To be silent is to be passive. Octavia Spencer Nancy Reagan was a perfectionist, and I am not. Barbara Bush I grew up with artists. Jason Momoa Art doesn't transform. It just plain forms. Roy Lichtenstein I just love kids. I always have. Faith Prince

I maintain that if you're a novelist and you go into an art museum, you'll

come out a better novelist. And if you paint a picture for an hour you're a better actor at the end of it. John Hawkes I just love chickens. Patti LuPone I don't have all the answers. Joel Osteen My career has been successful, but it's been a grind of hard work. Emmanuelle Chriqui It turns out it's not rocket science to design a sacred space. Greg Lynn I missed quite a lot of school because I was working from the age of 11. Natalia Vodianova When I get on a plane these days, I go first class. Marla Gibbs My craziest ambition is to take John Madden's job and salary. Michael Strahan Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster. Sun Tzu When an Indian fights, he only shoots to kill. Chief Joseph

You can make positive deposits in your own economy every day by reading and listening

to powerful, positive, life-changing content and by associating with encouraging and hope-building people. Zig Ziglar The world doesn't need another clothing company. But it does need a certain funk. Andre Benjamin I had to have my first kiss in front of, like, a hundred people. I didn't know what to do. So my sisters told me to, like, practice on a pillow, you know? But it didn't kiss me back so I didn't know what to expect. Lacey Chabert Country music has always sort of been country music. Miranda Lambert The Internet lives where anyone can access it. Vint Cerf I quite love sequins; I think it's the drag queen in me. Sienna Miller I'm inspired by history, different periods. Adam Lambert I want to be a fun mom. Not a gasping for air mom. Mariska Hargitay Good painting is like good cooking; it can be tasted, but not explained. Maurice de Vlaminck The prices of all imports would rise if the dollar depreciates. Robert C. Solomon

It's always good to get a smaller tournament under your belt so that by the

time you get to the Slams, you have a lot of experience. Serena Williams I've always been a fan of books that create an interesting blend of fact and fiction - whether it's Norman Mailer, or 'The Short Timers,' or 'In Cold Blood.' I'm a fan of that genre. Mark Boal I could listen to the radio and I had access to books from time to time. Not all the time. Aung San Suu Kyi Education is what remains when we have forgotten all that we have been taught. George Savile Another aspect of our work is multimedia teleconferencing. Jon Postel I sleep way too much and I read tremendously. Junot Diaz It's a different experience to be with your kids when your spouse isn't around. Jerry O'Connell I've never been much for theory and scales. Adrian Smith I like to do yoga, Pilates, dance, and things like that. Taylor Schilling If only we could pull out our brain and use only our eyes. Pablo Picasso

My mother was born in your state, Mr. Walter, and my mother was a Quaker,

and my ancestors in the time of Washington baked bread for George Washington's troops when they crossed the Delaware, and my own father was a slave. Paul Robeson Better to be without logic than without feeling. Charlotte Bronte I like to hit the gym early in the morning. I feel better throughout the day when I get in a workout first thing in the morning. Derek Jeter Basically, I'm a free spirit. I'm kind of an Everywoman. Pamela Anderson There have been only 268 of the past 3,421 years free of war. Will Durant Kids are going to try drugs and alcohol; that's part of society. Jamie Lee Curtis There is no forgiveness in nature. Ugo Betti I don't think of myself as a rebel; I just say what I think. Marjane Satrapi There is a single entendre, but I don't know about a triple one. Julian Clary My investments have been hurt. Scott Adams

I feel less pressure to dress youthfully. I'm 50 and everyone knows I'm 50 -

who are you kidding? Jeans are my uniform. I have about 15 pairs. Michelle Pfeiffer Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God. Martin Luther The people who watch Fox are not going to watch CNN. You know, let's be honest. Fareed Zakaria We will work to bring an element of stability to the price of oil. Olusegun Obasanjo It's practically impossible to look at a penguin and feel angry. Joe Moore The negative side is that sometimes it is beyond control. Mikhail Kalashnikov What you become is what counts. Liz Smith The Bible is a sanctum; the world, sputum. Franz Kafka Order is a necessary condition for anything the human mind is to understand. Rudolf Arnheim I've elected to age gracefully. Alana Stewart

Man may be considered as having a twofold origin - natural, which is common and

the same to all - patronymic, which belongs to the various families of which the whole human race is composed. Adam Clarke It's an awesome responsibility, not only to maintain the level of success the NFL has, but to build on that. Roger Goodell I liked doing comedies, but as I got older I was better suited to do Westerns. Because I think it becomes unattractive for an older fellow trying to look young, falling in love with attractive girls in those kinds of situations. Joel McCrea People in New York love having roof parties. Todd Barry Latin guys dance. American guys don't dance. That's a big difference. Sofia Vergara I think that I always loved being the centre of attention! Katherine Heigl I've just had an operation, but nothing too serious. Syd Barrett I admire my mother. She raised four kids and worked and had no help. Jane Leeves I really love school, but I'd love to continue acting jobs if I can. Georgie Henley Necessity, the mother...

I'm primarily thought of as a rocker, and certainly 'Frankenstein' had a very dramatic power

rock image. It was almost a precursor of heavy metal and fusion. But I also love jazz and classical and if there's one common thread that runs through all my music, it is blues. Edgar Winter Take one flower that you like and get lots of them. And don't try to 'arrange' them. It's surprisingly hard to do a flower arrangement the way a florist does one. Instead, bunch them all together or put them in a series of small vases all down the table. Ina Garten I want you to like me, but I don't care if you don't. Olivia Munn Sometimes you need to press pause to let everything sink in. Sebastian Vettel I'm Southern, so alligator tail is pretty interesting and yummy. LeAnn Rimes A woman's gifts will make room for her. Hattie McDaniel A fool can throw a stone in a pond that 100 wise men can not get out. Saul Bellow Well, honestly I feel like an ordinary woman. Jennifer Aniston My mother had a beautiful, soothing voice that made me melt. ...

I think the reason I love 'Antiques Roadshow' is that it is sort of like

the lottery. There's the chance a regular Joe could walk in with anything and come out close to a millionaire. There's the thrill of the find. Lara Spencer For people to even think that I'd be considered or a good candidate for a supporting actress nomination is mind blowing to me. Naya Rivera You need these experiences. Just know that sometimes, the director has a specific look in mind. Paula Abdul I had a test on my kidneys a few weeks back and found out I have two. Liam Payne Building design isn't trendy. Kevin McCloud I want to express myself in a different way. I have a performing inclination. Rowan Atkinson I only want to make music because I have a passion for it. Annie Lennox I'm actually one of those people who get up energetic in the morning. Elizabeth Edwards I'd like to work with David Lynch again. Melissa George This music isn't Top 40, we really stand out from anyone. Dustin Diamond

It was also Hegel who established the view that the different philosophic systems that we

find in history are to be comprehended in terms of development and that they are generally one-sided because they owe their origins to a reaction against what has gone before. Walter Kaufmann I also believe that government has no business telling us how we should live our lives. I think our lifestyle choices should be left up to us. What we do in our private lives is none of the government's business. That position rules out the Republican Party for me. Jesse Ventura I was actually already doing my Ph.D. in neuroscience when September 11 happened. 'The End Of Faith' is essentially what September 11 did to my intellectual career at that moment. Sam Harris Did Mad freakin' Max just call me irritating? Joe Pesci Fidelity - a virtue peculiar to those who are about to be betrayed. Ambrose Bierce I went to a school run by Catholic nuns. They were really strict. Sofia Vergara I think the attraction to country music is the fans, the lure of the hardcore fan ba...

They improve greatly, and sometimes I go and see the performances they do and I

am consciously aware that there isn't enough work for the good dancers. Siobhan Davies Obviously I'm very disappointed. I trained very hard this summer and felt in a good shape to play the U.S. Open. Kim Clijsters People do not believe lies because they have to, but because they want to. Malcolm Muggeridge I am dying of hunger. Klaus Kinski My comedy doesn't come from any calculations and studies. Jackie Mason I was home schooled, so I never got a yearbook. Lucy Hale I've spent my life butting my head against other people's lack of imagination. Nick Cave As a kid, I thought John Denver was the perfect Prince Charming. Sandra Lee In contrast, the control you have in a theatre is very attractive to me. Judi Dench I could see us doing solo material in the future. Nicole Appleton

My weekends start at about 4 P.M. on Friday afternoon, when I let go of

work and leave my colleagues to crawl through the rest of the day in our New York offices. Bobbi Brown Princeton is no longer a thing for Princeton men to please themselves with. Princeton is a thing with which Princeton men must satisfy the country. Woodrow Wilson What was frustrating about Armageddon was the time I spent not doing anything. It was a big special effects film, and I wasn't crazy about pretending I was in outer space. It feels ridiculous. Steve Buscemi I kind of like working fast. Robert Rodriguez My generation is having its midlife crisis in its 20s. Edward Norton I would just like to have children. Lots of children. Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark I don't wear sunscreen. I don't have a skincare program. Pamela Anderson It's really challenging to play comedy. Michelle Monaghan Being an American musician means being adventurous. Michael Tilson Thomas I am very protective of my family. Christa Miller

People on death row, the treatment of animals, women's right to choose. So much in

America is based on religious fundamentalist Christianity. Grow up! This is the modern world! Eddie Vedder Back in my day, we didn't think about money as much. We enjoyed playing the game. We loved baseball. I didn't think about anybody else but the Cardinals. Stan Musial As hurricanes Katrina and Rita raged through the southeastern United States last summer, much of America's energy infrastructure based in the Gulf of Mexico was damaged or destroyed causing gas prices to soar. Rick Renzi An entrepreneur is someone who brings a pattern change. Bill Drayton Until we meet again, may the good Lord take a liking to you. Roy Rogers I think we all want to be remembered for what we did. Jack Youngblood As for ABC you can't take it personally. We had three good years. Sela Ward I've had good times and bad times. That's me. That's how I am. Marat Safin We African Americans have now spent the major part of the 20th Century battling racism. Con...

Perhaps it is partly that we need to love books ourselves as parents, grandparents and

teachers in order to pass on that passion for stories to our children. It's not about testing and reading schemes, but about loving stories and passing on that passion to our children. Michael Morpurgo Fudging the data in any way whatsoever is quite literally a sin against the holy ghost of science. I'm not religious, but I put it that way because I feel so strongly. It's the one thing you do not ever do. You've got to have standards. James Lovelock I don't know if I'd want to do that anymore, because you always get bigger laughs on college campuses. So, when the film plays in front of a city audience, you've probably cut too loosely. David Zucker Love is the best thing in the world, and the thing that lives the longest. Henry Van Dyke I was a pretty good fighter. But it was the writers who made me great. Jack Dempsey I'm the kind of guy who really likes a challenge. It's more rewarding. Vanilla Ice If you say you're not a femin...

A source of conflict for women everywhere is the pull between reproduction and production. Women

worldwide have difficulty in balancing their dual roles as caregivers and providers. Madeleine M. Kunin It used to be that people would watch TV shows because they knew the characters would stay the same. Whether it's Archie Bunker or it's Thomas Magnum you watch it because it's like, 'I'm comfortable, this is the same guy.' Bryan Cranston People have their own deaths as well as their own lives, and even if there is nothing beyond death, we shall differ in our nothingness. E. M. Forster The keyboard is my journal. Pharrell Williams I love 70's music. Laura Linney Listen, the next revolution is gonna be a revolution of ideas. Bill Hicks I've got cut half in two, once, and blowed up a time or two, but nothing permanent. Red Adair My parents used to take me to a lot of theatre when I was young. Lexa Doig In America, people focus on the end result; they focus on the star. Joshua Waitzkin Music is such an important part of my life. ...

I think one of the major differences between Wonder Woman and Jessica Jones is that

Wonder Woman is iconic and much better known, so you get into a lot of ridiculous expectations, like what's her costume going to look like? Well, nobody knows who Jessica Jones is, except for fangirls and boys. Melissa Rosenberg Well there is a lot of work here for younger and older musicians now. Our Ministry of Culture has now really embarked on changing things for artists, and it is getting much better. We just have to organize ourselves as artists, and then things will be better. Miriam Makeba I wonder about guys like Sean Hannity, Keith Olbermann and Mark Levin. They're on such a mission. I mean, I love Hannity and Levin to death, but on the radio they're insane. How can you keep that up? Don Imus I'm wondering if I made the right decision about hair and makeup. Ree Drummond I do feel a lot more comfortable when my dog is with me. Brian Schweitzer If there wasn't no fight, there wasn't no weekend. O. J. Simpson People are smarter than you ...

Every abstract picture of the world is as impossible as a blueprint of a storm.

Don't be ashamed because you're human: be proud! Inside you, vaults behind vaults open endlessly. You will never be finished, and that's as it should be. Tomas Transtromer I've never understood why you would turn down a great role. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau A portal is a transitionary device of sight or sound that functions as a sort of third gravitating body between the this and the that, pulling us toward itself, allowing us to bridge into the unknown from the known. Roy H. Williams It was always about the story rather than the character. Jean Dujardin In Spain, actresses work until they are old. That's my plan. Penelope Cruz Suicide is not an answer, it's destruction. Al Green I try to distinguish my characters from each other. Lucy Liu I'm not a gangster, bro. ASAP Rocky You just drop a character like this that and the other and it's done. Terrence Howard High rank and soft manners may not always belong to a true heart. Anthon...

I'm sure there are people who survive tragedy without humor, but I've never met any

of them. Nor would I be particularly interested in writing about them if I did meet them. Ayelet Waldman The original 'Edge of Darkness' was fantastic, a fabulous series. It was of its time, but this film version shows that times really haven't changed. Ray Winstone Students are rewarded for memorization, not imagination or resourcefulness. Sugata Mitra I don't want that to be the headline. Terrell Owens I quit smoking well over twenty years ago. Shelley Berman I never like to do parodies. I never do. It's just not my style of comedy. Ivan Reitman I'm the kind of person who always likes to be doing something. Avril Lavigne I don't really care about gossip. I care about building great businesses. Tamara Mellon When I would first come to New York on tour, I hated the place. Conor Oberst Being champion is all well and good, but you can't eat a crown. Althea Gibson

With two people and luggage on board she draws four inches of water. Two canoe

paddles will move her along at a speed reasonable enough in moderate currents. C. S. Forester I always love working with young actors, because there's always something to learn. It's always exciting to see the next generation and how they approach things and what's great about them and what's not so great about them. Helen Mirren Positive social emotions like compassion and empathy are generally good for us, and we want to encourage them. But do we know how to most reliably raise children to care about the suffering of other people? I'm not sure we do. Sam Harris I like to visit L.A., but I wouldn't want to live there. Robert De Niro The sun is the most parallel light source because it is so far away. Conrad Hall I have more money now than I know what to do with. Mark Wahlberg These things I believe: that government should butt out. Lyn Nofziger The permanent campaign is inherently deceptive. Scott McClellan The strength and power of desp...

I was a pretty delicate kid. Anything that was going around I'd get it and

I'd generally get it much worse than other people, so I spent a lot of time out of school. Geraldine Brooks I must go deeper and even stronger into my treasure mine and stint nothing of time, toil, or torture. Zane Grey I want to make music that I like; not something that I have to make because I think it's going to sell. Macklemore If a man is terrified, it's up to me to dispel that terror. Jack Kevorkian A novelist has a specific poetic license which also applies to his own life. Jerzy Kosinski People say I train dogs, but in many ways I train people. Cesar Millan Yauch was great at lacking fear. Michael Diamond I'm not a big movie-goer. I just feel like I'm watching work. Jeffrey Donovan I can't act without music very well. Samantha Morton I don't get sick. Ray Romano

We want to encourage the young ones to learn and get some confidence in sports.

It's fun and keeps you active and moving. Christine Taylor Everyone is so terrified of being labeled a racist. Eli Roth People are trading distance for dollars. Ray Brown I'm an ardent American Football fan. Don King The minute you make people laugh, you get them to listen. Merrie Spaeth The life of a boxer is about fighting for world titles. Roberto Duran I've always tried to go a step past wherever people expected me to end up. Beverly Sills One sees qualities at a distance and defects at close range. Victor Hugo The book of Revelation is written largely in symbols. Joseph Franklin Rutherford The free way of life proposes ends, but it does not prescribe means. Robert Kennedy

Tough times have always lent themselves to nativist sentiments and closed-door policies. But in the

case of highly skilled immigrants, these policies are a recipe for stagnation. James Surowiecki I use that as my responsibility on the show, to be the pragmatist. Fisher Stevens I don't have to put on shoulder pads and run out there and let somebody hit on me a little bit. Emmitt Smith Nothing scares me but God. Lil Wayne Not to like ice cream is to show oneself uninterested in food. Joseph Epstein One's life has many compartments. Harold Pinter Government just simply can't do everything for everyone. Jan Brewer I now walk into the wild. Christopher McCandless No, I'm not a scientologist. Katharine McPhee I always look for reality. I look for plain truthful roles. Jim Caviezel

I think that I was being much more uptight about those things before. I feel

like I really don't have to prove anything at this point other than what I'm doing. Diana Krall A delusion is something that people believe in despite a total lack of evidence. Richard Dawkins Over one in five American children is living in poverty, and the number is rising. Eric Alterman I think Michael Moore is a hero. Larry David War is an abstraction. Bruce Jackson Knowledge is power only if man knows what facts not to bother with. Robert Staughton Lynd I have a black lab named Luke. Bryan Clay My fault now is making my plays too short. Beth Henley I will only praise someone who can't take anything away from me. Joan Rivers I hang around under the radar. Nobody is bothering me for interviews. Retief Goosen

They thought we were going to hurt the game, but we just wanted to help

ourselves, because the players needed to get together to protect their interests. Ted Lindsay So when they have Mourinho and Benitez joining the Premiership they should say it's good for us, maybe these guys have something new to give. Jose Mourinho The only way to avoid being unhappy is to close yourself up in Art and to count for nothing all the rest. Gustave Flaubert We've discovered that the less we do, the more money we make. Eric Idle Gratitude to gratitude always gives birth. Sophocles Hate controls everything it touches, but love sets everything it touches free. Bryant H. McGill This is something no one in the world has ever done. Nik Wallenda If I didn't do what I do, I wouldn't be as young as I am. Robert Plant It can be kind of gruesome at times, making things alone. Jenny Holzer The best director is the one you don't see. Billy Wilder

I'm concerned a little bit with the culture of celebrating the fundraise. My dad taught

me that when you borrow money it's the worst day of your life. Gary Vaynerchuk The arc of American history almost inevitably moves toward freedom. Whether it's Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation, the expansion of women's rights or, now, gay rights, I think there is an almost-inevitable march toward greater civil liberties. James McGreevey I am a big fan of horror movies but I had never thought that I had wanted to act in one because I don't think that actors get to do much in them. They're usually just reacting. Julia Stiles My mother couldn't have been happier when I said I was moving to New York. Victor Garber You never really want anything you can easily have. Bijou Phillips A female piano player is always pretty cool to me. Chrisette Michele I have died many times. I have actually beaten Jesus Christ because he only died once. Robert Mugabe I was born in New Orleans, and I wasn't allowed to go to the movies. Kitty Carlisle ...

I've been careful in love. I've been careless in love. And I've had adventures I

wouldn't trade for anything. Taylor Swift You want to teach the next generation so they can learn a little bit faster and a little bit more so everything becomes that much better. Cobi Jones When, according to habit, I was contemplating the stars in a clear sky, I noticed a new and unusual star, surpassing the other stars in brilliancy. There had never before been any star in that place in the sky. Tycho Brahe I don't understand why God took him and didn't take me. Anna Nicole Smith It feels good to be fit and strong. Joel Edgerton Virtue consists, not in abstaining from vice, but in not desiring it. George Bernard Shaw Last week I was just someone who had had a first novel published. Jon McGregor I'm obsessed with jackets. Domenico Dolce For the most part, there's so much of me in my characters. Rashida Jones To touch a sore is to renew one's grief. Terence

You always end up getting involved in things because of, you know, the strange things

your life brings you into contact with. Edward Norton Americas are, for a variety of reasons, the most adept at producing the kind of entertainment that delivers easy satisfactions. Todd Gitlin 'From Here to Eternity' happens to be fourteen-carat entertainment. The main trouble is that it is too entertaining for a film in which love affairs flounder, one sweet guy is beaten to death, and a man of high principles is mistaken for a saboteur and killed on a golf course. Manny Farber I'm a private person. I'm shy about people knowing things. Farrah Fawcett It's no sin to admit that you feel vulnerable and lost. Phoebe Snow I always talk about my characters like they're real people. Dakota Fanning Everyone knows a lot about me without actually knowing me at all. Amy Lee I also think we live in a competitive world, and I love competition. Arsene Wenger I don't much mind being expelled from communities. Tony Judt I would make a horrible p...

I've read every one of Donald Goines' books. So as soon as I heard there

was an opportunity for one of his novels to be turned into a movie, I jumped at the opportunity. DMX I was blown away by the control and the range that I was hearing. I'm listening to Pavarotti and thinking, What the hell have I been doing with my voice all these years? Michael Bolton In my case, I used the elements of these simple forms - square, cube, line and color - to produce logical systems. Most of these systems were finite; that is, they were complete using all possible variations. This kept them simple. Sol LeWitt Ads need to be little pieces of entertainment. William Shatner I've raised my daughter with no television. Natalie Merchant I'm vomiting days before I start shooting a new movie. Joaquin Phoenix Artistic development is a thing of the past, sadly. David Coverdale We are always rushing to an appointment or trying to meet a deadline. Menachem Mendel Schneerson Joe Louis was one of my first heroes. Robert Goulet I know I could never...

I want to clear my mind a little bit and give my mind a little

bit of time to breathe so I can pinpoint or at least nail down feelings I'm having and that I've had for the last however long. I need to nail them down long enough to actually write about and elaborate on them. Fred Durst The last two years with the Eagles were pretty intense times. There was a lot of drinking and we were all getting high a lot. My parents were relieved when I got off the Eagles treadmill. Glenn Frey In the sago palms, you'll often find sago beetles which are about the size of your little finger. The Karowai put those on the fire until they're crispy and eat them. They taste a little bit like creamy snails. But compared to sago, the sago beetle is really pretty good. Tim Cahill I'm not a hockey fan. I'm not a golf fan. Penny Marshall The possessions of the rich are stolen property. Pierre-Joseph Proudhon In short, humans are programmed to get bored. Emily Oster Other people's beliefs may be myths, but not mine. Mason Cool...

When we were at the CMT Awards this year, Robert Plant was there. What an

icon, I love him... But I can't go up and speak to him, because I don't want to seem like a goob. Jennifer Nettles I believe I have lots of time. I have to believe that, that it won't come back, and that that's why I'm in good hands. But I also do live my life by putting nothing off. Lynn Redgrave As an actor, you don't want to be typecast, because Hollywood is so quick to put you in things that you've succeeded in before. Danny McBride I am a Bedouin warrior who brought glory to Libya and will die a martyr. Muammar al-Gaddafi Just stay real and stay a real person. Brandon Thomas I'm the only comedian qualified to navigate a supertanker. Peter Baynham I'm such a technophobe. Phillip Lim It is always your next move. Napoleon Hill There are so many sounds I still want to make, so many things I haven't yet done. B. B. King What I feel bad about is not having published very much in the last few years. Ben Nicholson

I play very sweet characters, so people look at me like I'm the kid from

'The Wonder Years,' rather than Brad Pitt. Chris O'Dowd Once you get on the playing field it's not about whether you're liked or not liked. All that matters is to play at a high level and do whatever it takes to help your team win. That's what it's about. LeBron James I'm learning kite surfing. It's a little surfboard you have on your feet with straps, and you have a big kite like a power glider in the air that pulls you. You don't need waves to move, and it makes a big spray of water as you go. Bertrand Piccard The inner reality of love can be recognized only by love. Hans Urs von Balthasar Every weird thing about you is beautiful and makes life interesting. Kesha Of course there are always exceptions, but opinions are not to be feared. Joseph Kosinski Everybody likes pizza! It's a quick and easy clean-up meal. Buddy Valastro I'd like to see us improving on what we had last year. David Leslie I'm not a big sho...

To be perfectly honest the old habits, specifically deadlines, still very much inform what I

do. I am brutally disciplined about getting manuscripts in on time. Simon Winchester The American people voted to restore integrity and honesty in Washington, D.C., and the Democrats intend to lead the most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history. Nancy Pelosi They fired director Richard Donner because they didn't want to pay him, and he's the reason the franchise became so successful in the first place. There's a big part of Superman II that he did that no one has ever seen. Margot Kidder I am, and always will be, proud to be a Hackney girl. Leona Lewis Behind every cloud is another cloud. Judy Garland I am not doddery... doddery I am not! Bruce Forsyth I'm not in a party. I am a party. Kid President I like to win. If I lose, I'm not very happy. Hermann Maier I want to be what I've always wanted to be: dominant. Tiger Woods Life with another person is always difficult. Yoko Ono

A president aiming for 'Great' or 'Near Great' status must do more. He must give

lots of interviews, make records accessible, and heap the flattery on academia - each of which Mr. Bush has signally failed to do. Thomas Frank If you don't play well, you have a bad game or a nightmare you know that the amount of coverage is worldwide. Steven Gerrard I say it is indispensable to look ahead of and behind oneself in the present. If there is such a thing as tradition, and I believe there is, it can only exist in the sense of the most profound movements of culture. Robert Delaunay My first appearance as a guest on The Tonight Show was in '81. Garry Shandling I believe, I believe every day is a good day when you paint. Bob Ross You can't trust very many people. George Best This is just the beginning of a new era for America's workers. James P. Hoffa Journalists have made celebrities into an industry. Stefanie Powers I don't like when I look too cluttered. Felicity Jones I want to empower women. I want people to be afraid of th...

The best thing going for us is Al Gore. I cannot conceive how the American

people could elect him. On the other hand, I couldn't conceive how they could elect a Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton - especially Clinton in '96. Lyn Nofziger The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy. Meryl Streep Through hard work, perseverance and a faith in God, you can live your dreams. Ben Carson I love people. I was born loving people. Betsy Palmer I can only speak for myself - I don't care how I look. Jerry Ferrara Time destroys everything. Monica Bellucci I believe in an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out. Arthur Hays Sulzberger Everybody remembers Robbie Williams said I had a face like a satellite dish. Sophie Ellis-Bextor Being attached to America these days is like being in a pen with a wounded bull. Rick Mercer Enthusiasm and misplaced belief can take you a long way. John Otway

Every child is different. I think it's important that we don't have maybe just one

or two books that we're recommending to all children - but rather we cater the books to fit each individual child. Rick Riordan At the core, I try to write characters who are real people with real insecurities, fears, hopes, and dreams, which is why hopefully readers can identify with them. Ally Carter Ultimately, making movies, if you don't have a big star, it's hard to do. Or if it's not a star director. Chris Messina I was not a very good football player when I started out. Lynn Swann The people of Maine were tired of being in debt and tired of being overtaxed. Paul LePage You know, tigers are very unpredictable. Suraj Sharma It's easier to replace a dead man than a good picture. George Bernard Shaw Knitters use knitting to value-add to the world. Stephanie Pearl-McPhee Life all comes down to a few moments. This is one of them. Charlie Sheen I often reread books I have written. Taylor Caldwell

I guess by taking lessons early on, and really trying to play all the rudimentary

stuff, and try to have it sound as good as my teacher. It took a lot of practice, which I enjoyed, and still do. Matt Cameron I've come to the conclusion that military style weapons really don't have any place in our society. We ought to reinstate the assault weapons ban that served us well for 10 years from 1994 to 2004. Mark Udall I'm not someone who can lie on a beach and do nothing. I am not sure what you are supposed to do, so I get bored. I prefer to have a purpose, such as going to Alaska to see orca whales. Miranda Richardson Honestly, I've been very blessed. Yes, I am cursed with this gift. Wilmer Valderrama My dad always said he couldn't remember a time when I did not want to act. Gwyneth Paltrow Part of my therapy is to write. LeAnn Rimes My idea of a perfect pet is a really, really big dog! Huge! Emily VanCamp When I was in sixth grade, I wanted to become a priest. Mike Krzyzewski There's so much more to life than looking a ce...

The wealthy have never liked to pay for the labor that enriches them. Ever since

slavery was eliminated, they have been trying to keep it as close to slavery as they can without violating the slave laws. Michael Moore I'm not fond of crunches or lunges, but I do them anyway because I do see results. For me it's about being fit and staying healthy more than anything else. Martina McBride I wasn't truly comfortable with myself until I was about 30. I spent so much time and energy wondering if I wasn't worthy, and trying to find people to validate me, instead of validating myself. Tori Spelling Companies are not ingenious, it's the people in them that are. James Dyson It's great meeting children because you never know what they will say. Roddy Doyle It's a dog eat dog world, and Mr. Perfect is a Milk Bone. Bobby Heenan Acting is very start and stop. Estelle Parsons India is a country in which every great religion finds a home. Annie Besant I was an actor for over a year before I ever saw a play. Len Cariou No man ...

Our supporters can send the message that it's wrong for politically connected corporations to make

millions while people doing an honest day's work are being cheated out of an honest day's pay. Morris Dees But despite the universality of URLs, we often forget that they're not just a handy way to address network resources. They're also valuable communication tools. Jesse James Garrett What I like most: Reading well-written sources that take me to another world for hours at a time - and being able to call that 'work!' Also, of course, finding a gem of information that is either exactly what I was looking for, or else fits perfectly into the story in some way. Linda Sue Park Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam I have a younger brother. Freddie Highmore I haven't had that many weird encounters with fans, thank God. Vin Diesel I think you should only wear jewellery if it has a story behind it. Robert Carlyle I never really wanted to write and wanted to focus on acting. Abby Elliott Only by learnin...

You can listen to carpenters talk for hours in Ireland. The people have a relationship

Sarah Brightman The movie wasn't a hit, although it did well in Europe for some reason. Lee Hazlewood My songs are more arrangements than they are songs.

Tom Conti I was the only one at stage school who wasn't white. Leona Lewis For me, the other thing is not just a strong sense of spirituality. Peabo Bryson It's still difficult for me to watch my work. Sheryl Lee

It would be a lot different for me because there is a lot of information

that you need to know about as a player. How pitchers are pitching you, how defenses are playing, certain situations about certain pitchers. Ernie Banks When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto, when we are irresponsibly slow in moving toward AIDS in Africa, when we don't advance and live up to our own rhetoric and standards, we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy. John F. Kerry The importance of the assistant director cannot be overemphasized. John Frankenheimer Don't you know that silence supports the accuser's charge? Sophocles You know, I want to eat junk food. My kids love junk food. Homaro Cantu Truth is exact correspondence with reality. Paramahansa Yogananda I think by laying it out for the viewer I'm avoiding the issue of bias. Dan Abrams I had my two front teeth knocked out by a sixth grader in first grade. Chad Michael Murray I'm glad I'm a strong person. Freida Pinto Nothing good comes out of depression. ...

I once made a check of all books in my fourth-grade classroom. Of the slightly

more than six hundred books, almost one quarter had been published prior to the bombing of Hiroshima; 60 percent were either ten years old or older. Jonathan Kozol I remember a time when all my fans were crying and sad and going through hell. Now, we're trying to uplift each other and accept ourselves for who we are, even if nobody else does. Mary J. Blige I enjoy popularisation and I think I'm reasonably good at it. I also think it's a duty. It's just so pedagogically stupid to forget how difficult one found these ideas oneself to begin with. Terry Eagleton There are a lot of people highly motivated to be the first to clone a human. Gregory Stock They're cheering a young lad, the champion playboy of the Western World. John Millington Synge They hated Sammy Hagar for 12 years and they hate him to this day. Gary Cherone I want to work with great filmmakers and great actors and get better as an actor. Bradley Cooper I had a family, I had children,...

Cancer essentially lives in us and becomes activated at some point, and then cells begin

to psychotically divide. Initially, the cancer cell looks like other cells and the body invites it in. Eve Ensler It's probably odd for someone to read an interview where the interviewee is worried about exposure while they're talking in an interview. John Hawkes I love MySpace; it's done an amazing job for me and it's been insane over the past couple of weeks, but I'm not a poster girl for them. Lily Allen Respect the place you live, be aware of the impact that you have on things. Marion Cotillard Beautiful has never been my goal. Pink They can because they think they can. Virgil I have no idea what 'method actor' means. Viggo Mortensen An artist is somebody who enters into competition with God. Patti Smith The American flag represents all of us and all the values we hold sacred. Adrian Cronauer But I'm not objective when I'm acting. Laura Innes

My parents taught me everything and set me up for life. I owe to them

all the things I'm passionate about: music, art, the people I love, my career and family life, the fact that I have children and the way that I raise them. Olivia Williams In my opinion, Jackie is the greatest female athlete ever. Marion Jones One of the first serious attempts I made to write a novel was when I was in Grade 6 and I had read 'Matilda.' I wrote my own version and my teacher had it bound and permitted me to read it to the class - cementing my love of reading, writing and Roald Dahl! Randa Abdel-Fattah For infrastructure technology, C will be hard to displace. Dennis Ritchie Folly always knows the answer. Mason Cooley The roughest part of that lifestyle is the travel and early mornings. Josie Maran I've always found it hard to say sorry. Michael Sheen I want my world to be fun. Justin Bieber If anybody asks me to do a job, I say, 'Yes.' I've said yes to everything. Sylvester McCoy I am advocating a weak yen to a certai...

The difference between a movie star and a movie actor is this - a movie

star will say, 'How can I change the script to suit me?' and a movie actor will say. 'How can I change me to suit the script?' Michael Caine In the music industry, we value large success. I realized that while I would like that, that it's not what my writing is about. And if I start making it about that, it becomes impure. David Friedman All of the religions - with the exception of Tibetan Buddhism, which doesn't believe in a heaven - teach that heaven is a better place. At the end of the program, I say that heaven is a place where you are happy. All of the religions have that in common. Barbara Walters But it can be hard to experiment when you're in a band. Julian Casablancas I am just a guy who plays drums. Bill Kreutzmann Five sets is a kind of lottery. Anything can happen. Marat Safin The future has a lot to do with the past. Dwight Yoakam I would like to do maybe a smaller romantic comedy. Linda Fiorentino General Custer was a cl...

There is no moral equivalency between those who would kill using children, innocent civilians, children

and adults, in their homes and in their places of worship, to that of a government that is seeking those terrorists before they can engage in that awful activity. George Pataki Woo means the ability to entice someone or something to get what you want. My first solo album was called: All the Woo of the Universe, which was titled by George Clinton. Bernie Worrell My career has suddenly started to be the one that I'd always wanted, not in terms of level of success, but in terms of - and this is what I've been banging on about - playing different parts in different media. Rufus Sewell When you're an actor, you're a slave to other people's visions. Sylvester Stallone Whoever speaks of Europe is wrong: it is a geographical expression. Otto von Bismarck Tennis has given me this wonderful life and I'm very grateful for it. Maria Sharapova Cinemas gained new young audiences who wanted films made for them. Andrzej Wajda I want to be invisible. Megan ...

Before I started LimoLand, I mainly bought my clothes in Harlem, where I found clothing

my size in fun colors. I still like to go there and see the vibrancy and colors of the neighborhood. I am also very influenced by the colors of my contemporary African and Japanese art collections. Jean Pigozzi Brazil is where I belong, the place that feels like home. They love their family, their country and God, and are not afraid to let anybody know it.

Ted Nugent He who does not trust enough, Will not be trusted. Lao Tzu To be a poet is a condition rather than a profession. Robert Graves Progressive societies outgrow institutions as children outgrow clothes. Henry George I was a tomboy, not a girlie girl. Minka Kelly I'm the voice of honesty. Howard Stern I prefer doing feature films. Taraji P. Henson

In life, we do not give employees enough leeway. If you look around Semco's office,

there are plenty of empty desks. The question is - where are these people? I do not have the slightest idea, but I am not interested. Ricardo Semler That's something I do, like, all the time. I just do backflips off things. Channing Tatum Tax rates for the wealthy should revert to Clinton-era levels, both because it is necessary for long-term deficit reduction and because fairness dictates it. Moreover, there is no proof that higher marginal rates dissuade investment, all the rhetoric from the Right notwithstanding. Eliot Spitzer I can't do impressions. Ellie Kemper Canada was built on dead beavers. Margaret Atwood Coughing in the theater is not a respiratory ailment. It is a criticism. Alan Jay Lerner A powerful idea communicates some of its strength to him who challenges it. Marcel Proust Texas people are very open, because it's open. Margo Martindale I think comedy is more my instinct and more what I'm geared towards. Austin Peck The unhapp...

your life as just a brief moment in time. Pema Chodron I think people enjoy finding out something genuinely new. Tom Hooper I am not a professional politician.
