a pilot. I think if you grow up in a dodgy area, reality often beats down those ambitions as you get older. But with me that never really happened.

people getting up and going to work, striving in this recession to not participate in it, they're not the enemy. They're the people that hire you. They're the people that are going to give you a job.

earth, feeling the cycle of the seasons - happens to be true. Susan Orlean The present moment is changing so fast that we often do not notice its existence at all.

to do with romance, sometimes vulnerability. The photographs are quite clearly about happiness, or search for happiness. Hedi Slimane Television itself is an intimate medium. It's in your house.

young people, that now you can make an image which just slightly suggests something, they can make of it what they will. Robert Doisneau There are two ways of talking. One is the easy way, where you talk lightly, and the other one is the considered way. The considered way is what I have put my name to. V. S.

John Shelby Spong I'm just so honored that the universe chose me to be the spark that has set off a raging inferno. Cindy Sheehan Fitness is a curve. You can be Lance Armstrong, or you can be really out of shape at the opposite end.

my goal: to let them know there's another way. Janelle Monae Choosing writing as a career, just by itself, is a measure of not being a calculating person.

Bjork I can't dance on ice, because I'm like Bambi on ice. Martine McCutcheon I was just the perfect person to play the Mini-Me character. Verne Troyer

much, I've seen a lot of comics try to make that transition too fast, and it can be detrimental. And I don't think I've had as much success as I need in the comedy genre to open up those opportunities. Seann William Scott The President has launched a very agressive campaign of self-defense, with the goal of getting Americans to buy into his vision of America on the world stage.

own plans to keep children from finding indecent material on the Internet as an alternative to a Congressional proposal that would require a federally mandated solution. Tipper Gore The totality of a record is usually beyond ones ability to imagine when you start working on it, but the component parts are, usually, fairly clear one way or another.

It doesn't matter. John Turturro My talent is numbers. David Schweikert I'd always been a great fan of George Orwell. Martin Cruz Smith War is hell.

anything other than football but I didn't do too badly in my final exams and there were a few business-related courses that interested me. Kenny Cunningham Obstacles, of course, are developmentally necessary: they teach kids strategy, patience, critical thinking, resilience and resourcefulness. Naomi Wolf I think the first step is to understand that forgiveness does not exonerate the perpetrator. Forgiveness liberates the victim. It's a gift you give yourself. T. D.

ideological polarization between the two major political parties. Thomas E. Mann Singing is just another outlet to express what I feel and to show everyone who I really am.

by the way, we are going to pay money to build a road here or inoculate children there,' unless we can demonstrate that it is in America's interest. I happen to think it is. Hillary Clinton I didn't realize how much harm I was doing back then and I think a lot of rap artists probably don't realize it now. I said a lot of stuff fooling around back then, and I saw it do a lot of harm. Adam Yauch I do not know what got me interested in technology. What was very clear to me very early on was that I was not interested in religion and that naturally increased my curiosity about science and technology, and I fundamentally believe the two are conflicting.

hunger practically uncontrollable when we build here on this the landscape of our homeland we must be clear that we will protect its beauty. Fritz Todt This kind of charge reveals a good deal about the personality of the people who make it; to impute such motives to another man is to imply you're harboring them yourself. Jim Garrison We are concerned with the relationship between art and life. Contemporary art is only intelligible in terms of its relationship to our life. David Elliott I prefer being a small fish in a big pond. Stacy Keibler It is much easier to find fault with others, than to be faultless ourselves. Samuel Richardson If a Latina falls in love with someone who is insecure, it can be a nightmare. Sofia Vergara My forte is awkwardness. Zach Galifianakis I've saved every dime I've made in my life.

Jeff Bridges I'm addicted to documentaries. That's all I watch on television. Robert Zemeckis I wish I could score everything for horns.

wouldn't have a storm surge system and a sanitary system hooked together here that requires you to close your beaches 10 times a year. Aubrey McClendon There is no reason to change this system. I don't think we'll abandon it. For us the most important thing is to be compact in the back. That's the kind of game we have to play here and it will be very difficult to beat us. Oliver Kahn Prayer should be short, without giving God Almighty reasons why he should grant this, or that; he knows best what is good for us. John Selden This is not a sham, not a game.

Catherine Deneuve In this situation I was constantly exposed to danger and death. Daniel Boone I had no idea there were so many ways you could burn yourself out.

Roberto Cavalli If I'm going to fly for more than twenty feet it's generally a good idea to get a stunt guy. Joe Flanigan There is a great deal of cyberpunk that I admire, especially the work of William Gibson which I think is excellent. Somehow he speaks from his own heart and cyber punk is what comes out. Robert Sheckley I love the short-haired lifestyle. Anne Hathaway My wife dresses to kill. She cooks the same way. Henny Youngman My mom introduced me to science-fiction. Logan Marshall-Green Sometimes you feel bad about yourself when there's no reason to. Alvin Ailey Wrong is for other people. Fanny Brice I damaged my Achilles tendon, so I can't run.

that's an opportunity for us to sort of move away from some of the meals that we've been preparing in the past. Tom Vilsack I like the blues a lot. I grew up on it.

Rosie O'Donnell I was away from the front lines for a while this spring, living with other troops, and considerable fighting took place while I was gone. When I got ready to return to my old friends at the front I wondered if I would sense any change in them. Ernie Pyle One of the great joys of life is creativity. Information goes in, gets shuffled about, and comes out in new and interesting ways. Peter McWilliams The trouble that they see me in is a part of my life that I'm working on. Rodney King In fact I'd like to go back and live in Shakespeare's London. Jim Broadbent As you grow older, your whole life becomes very rich, multifaceted. Francesca Annis I graduated from college in 1980. Charlie Kaufman Most of the people in New York are very often from somewhere else. Michael Stuhlbarg I was a...

funny about it. Also, I was familiar with Mike Myers' work in Saturday Night Live, but I did not know the extent to which he would make this creation. Michael York The 'EU in a Nutshell' is a miscellany of facts and anecdotes about the system which rules us. It's a book you can delve into in pursuit of a particular fact, or crack open for entertainment at virtually any page. Daniel Hannan I like it when, you know, 3-under wins, you know, 20-under par, it just brings so many other people into contention. Paula Creamer To live another person's life is quite a weird thing. Simon Callow If it was up to me, there wouldn't be no such thing as the establishment. Jimi Hendrix All through my comics career, I was always trying to reinvent the form.

show. I want to show them a good time and create an experience they're going to enjoy. Lynda Carter What difference does it make to you what someone else becomes, or says, or does? You do not need to answer for others, only for yourself. Thomas a Kempis It is a drastic mistake to eliminate the provisions that have to do with the protection of habitat for endangered species. It is my opinion that the Endangered Species Act is 99 percent about protecting critical habitat. Jim Saxton I've been writing full-time since 1978. Alan Dean Foster It's the role of the artist to pursue content. Anish Kapoor I am a practicing Hindu and have made no secrets about it.

ability to rally and captivate the conservative movement. Rick Perry I'm a huge 'Breaking Bad' fan; I would be really annoyed if anyone told me anything about what was going to happen in the last eight episodes. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Well, I think that abstinence has its place as part of a comprehensive health and sex education curriculum. It would be wrong to exclude abstinence from a health curriculum, because there are some potentially very serious ramifications for early sexual activity. Kerry Healey I'm just basking in the glory. Johnny Knoxville If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor. Eleanor Roosevelt I love the energy over here in the U.K., the hospitality is insane. Flo Rida I'm part wood nymph. I require mountains and warm, dense patches of moss to thrive. Vera Farmiga I'm committed to working with teachers. Kathleen Wynne Intervals and other types of speed work are essential to improve running...

if we found a unicellular organism on Mars. It would change our whole concept of life on Earth. Tommy Lee Jones We shall never change our political leaders until we change the people who elect them. Mark Skousen If a hurricane strikes, we can blame the president for not being there; we can blame Congress and FEMA; we can blame the state governments; but in the end, it's the mayors and the local city governments that have to be prepared for emergencies and be prepared to act. Michael Bloomberg Make sure you know what you are signing when you sign a recording contract. Tommy Shaw I believe in taking what happens as inevitable. William Shatner I believe that when things happen, they happen with a purpose. William Shatner Well, I'm eventually gonna take the Daryl Hannah parts.

own good. I'd be in tears because I wasn't doing well. But the healthy competition really toughened me up. Marisa Miller Mike Bloomberg may be a Republican these days.

Paul Simon I sold some shares, but on a net basis, significantly increased my ownership. Jeffrey Skilling

now is the biggest and best step that you can take. Instead of putting your ego first, you put the buyer first. And I think that that's a really important thing just to know what the consumer is wanting to wear. Jessica Simpson We all know about blogs and how big they are. John Doerr Every time I get on an airplane I have a routine. I cover the inside of my nostrils with anti-bacterial ointment. I'm popping Zicam like it's candy.

minutes of my time. It never occurs to them that if they're asking for it and another thousand people are asking, I don't have 1,000 five minutes to give. Stephen Jay Gould All of a sudden you have this feeling of clarity. Backcountry snowboarding has really done a lot to boost that feeling in me.

Adam Levine If I could work with any actor it would have to be Johnny Depp. He is cool. Ben Nicholas Success to me was getting out of that contract in one piece. Brenda Holloway

Michael Vick I can paint in jail. Jack Kevorkian I spent a good part of the nineties roaming the Earth writing about conflict. It was very grueling.

position, and that's really important to me; that's one of the first things I look at when I say, 'does it make sense to do a deal?' Mike Rowe I would like to be someone like Steve Martin. That's the path I'd like to follow. Carrot Top Most of the time - at the Grammys for example - a DJ will perform with just their hands in the air because they can't do anything and that makes it a little awkward, I think. Tiesto The hand that dips into the bottom of the pot will eat the biggest snail. Wole Soyinka Theories are patterns without value. What counts is action. Constantin Brancusi I don't eat wheat and am into alternative medicines and treatment. Arizona Muse If you play in the NFL and start for 10 years, it's not good. It is not good.

head alert to the motion of the world I am aware that life was never perfect, never absolute. This bestows contentment, even a fearlessness.

in the spine; but these are necessary results of their laborious existence, and do not belong either to climate or constitution. Fanny Kemble I carry around, like, a little journal with me and just write all the time. Not necessarily, like, actually sitting down and writing lyrics - just freeform writing, whatever's going on in my mind. I write a lot on airplanes, actually, because it's completely isolating. Mandy Moore For me to even be talking about bikini confidence is crazy. If you had asked me a couple of months ago, I probably would have been like, 'what are you talking about...' so it's actually huge for me to even feel okay with putting a bikini on.

Angela Lansbury Everything I've done has been personally fun, important, and meaningful to me. Ashley Judd ...

the men got to pit themselves against ideas or God. Judy Davis Even if you've been involved in a World Cup, the Olympics is huge. Only the Games has the power to change communities.

Ariel Sharon I hope to inspire people, influence people. Ashley Tisdale Charity begins at home, and justice begins next door. Charles Dickens Punk is not really a style of music.

Let's face it: Bush is just dim. George Clooney I thought it was respectful to each country to sing in their language. Nana Mouskouri I grew up rock climbing.
