I've played such good golf, and it was hard coming up and it wasn't easy

in any matches or any shots. It means a lot. I think hopefully it will mean a lot to New Zealand because I'm the next winner of the U.S. Amateur after Danny Lee. Lydia Ko Usually when you're working is when people want you to work. They don't want you as much when you're not working. That's the frustrating nature of our business. Faith Ford My first was in 1994 and it's ten years ago already. It's been ten years and I'm still around. I won a stage again, like I did last year and the year before. Richard Virenque My Dad was my biggest supporter. He never put pressure on me. Bobby Orr I don't like fashion. It's very heartless. Paul Simon Health is the vital principle of bliss, and exercise, of health. James Thomson 'Heroes' really changed the game for me in a way that nothing before it had. Zachary Quinto I apply paint directly from the tube and with my fingers. John Dyer Either it works or it doesn't. Isaac Miz

The question is not whether we want to keep this open, neutral Internet - we

do, or should - but whether government rulemaking can give us the result we want. Edward Felten The O. Henry has become lingua franca among writers for saying, 'That guy can write a story.' It's prestigious, respected, coveted, dreamed about. It's very satisfying to be included in this group of writers. Here's a koan: Could O. Henry win an O. Henry? Tony D'Souza I remember once having to stop performing when I thought an elderly man a few rows back from the front was actually going to die because he was laughing so hard. Adrian Edmondson 'The Big Bang Theory' has completely changed my life. Jim Parsons I don't want something special. I want something beautifully plain. Anne Lamott I like musicals and I love music. Wayne Rooney I would say I'm humanly engaged. Juliette Binoche A humorist doesn't really do that much note-taking. P. J. O'Rourke Controversy equalizes fools and wise men in the same way - and the fools k

I have a feeling that books are a lot like people - they change as

you age, so that some books that you hated in high school will strike you with the force of a revelation when you're older. Lauren Groff The first real concert, other than going with my dad to see Three Dog Night, was Smashing Pumpkins and Garbage. I was fourteen or fifteen. I liked Shirley Manson because she reminded me of Annie Lennox. They both have these deep, sexy, powerful alto voices. Amy Lee Racism oppresses its victims, but also binds the oppressors, who sear their consciences with more and more lies until they become prisoners of those lies. They cannot face the truth of human equality because it reveals the horror of the injustices they commit. Alveda King The country crowd just has fun. Charles Kelley Wherever I find love I will accept it. M. F. Husain Music really becomes the soundtrack to the major events to your life. Sheryl Crow I play drums, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, french horn, piano. Norman Wisdom I love the ocean, but I'm just not o

Releasing an album on a major label is like sending a package through Fed Ex.

You know that it'll get there, and you know that it'll get there on time. will.i.am I love shooting, when the character is interesting and the script is interesting, but the research beforehand is really fun. The whole process makes me anxious and restless, and I have trouble sleeping, just trying to figure out the character. Matt Damon I've never met a woman ever, anywhere, bar none, that was more feminine than Dixie Carter. Jean Smart If anyone has a conscience it's generally a guilty one. Max Frisch I didn't appreciate Brooklyn until I left it. Rosie Perez In terms of the history of a far reaching movement, 20 years is not that long. Aung San Suu Kyi The First Amendment means everything to me. Julian Bond Biology always beats will power. Mehmet Oz People love to watch a train wreck, I suppose. Ellen Pompeo I am a creature of habit. Jennifer Aniston

Favorite poems are like favorite children. We definitely have them but we never tell as

the others would have their feelings hurt. Nikki Giovanni The budget acknowledges the importance of maintaining our ports and waterways to encourage commercial deep-draft navigation and economic competitiveness. Jeff Landry Here we stand in the middle of this new world with our primitive brain, attuned to the simple cave life, with terrific forces at our disposal, which we are clever enough to release, but whose consequences we cannot comprehend. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi One is certain of nothing but the truth of one's own emotions. E. M. Forster If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday. Pearl S. Buck I board with a poor Scotchman: his wife can talk scarce any English. David Brainerd Ireland sober is Ireland stiff. James Joyce That's what I really wanted to do when I was 16, be in comics! Annalena McAfee I'm not really a gamer. David Duchovny A record co. is just a vehicle for public appearances. Mickey Gilley

Bill Clinton sitting on Air Force One getting his hair cut while people around the

country cooled their heels and waited for him, became a metaphor for a populist president who had gotten drunk with the perks of his own power and was sort of, you know, not sensitive to what people wanted. Dee Dee Myers I think IT projects are about supporting social systems - about communications between people and machines. They tend to fail due to cultural issues. Tim Berners-Lee When I interview people accused of capital offenses, I never even ask if they did it. I would consider that unprofessional. Joseph Wambaugh Well, if this is poetry, I'm certainly never going to write any myself. James Schuyler Learning lines is my biggest challenge. Tim Meadows I love my mother. I do love her. Mindy McCready Even in college I tended to get cast in the comedies more. It was what I liked doing. Jenna Fischer You always rebel what your parents want you to listen to. Keifer Thompson Living without hate for people is almost impossible. Park Chan-wook I love what I

The liberal professions, and in a wider sense the well-to-do classes, are certainly those with

the liveliest taste for knowledge and the most active intellectual life. Emile Durkheim The web of life, love, suffering and death unites all beings. Alex Grey It is a responsibility we perceive from the entire international community to protect the stability of the single currency as well as the European frame work. Giorgio Napolitano I didn't jump onto anyone else's coattail and ride their wave. Shia LaBeouf I love the sport and being competitive. Zara Phillips One day, people will be able to buy tickets to visit space. Leroy Chiao You are always going to get extreme views around coaches and players. Rob Andrew Just vengeance does not call for punishment. Pierre Corneille We have to get back to the beauty of just being alive in this present moment. Mary McDonnell And yet to every bad there is a worse. Thomas Hardy

I can't afford security. I can't afford a gated house. So, I feel a little

vulnerable. I wish some laws would come into play. Selma Blair Islam has been badly used by a certain ideology. Youssou N'Dour When I look back at my career as an author, I don't look at the first book that was ever published as to where my career began - I look to the first book that I ever wrote. Jarrett J. Krosoczka I'm someone who believes in centrist governing philosophy. Scott McClellan I could be a jerk and get a lot more publicity, but that's not who I am. Pete Sampras The No. 1 cause of forest fires is trees. Pat Paulsen That's how you get surprises, because what movies are all about is surprises. Peter Bart With the Giants I broadcast the debut of Hall of Famer Willie Mays. Ernie Harwell I learned at that young age that sometimes a really big chance pays off. Bob Parsons I had just won the lawsuit against Melrose Place. Hunter Tylo

For a country boy, poor as I was, whose constant worry was to be able

to have enough to eat, the Army guaranteed one's survival. Mo Yan I think that's one of the most unique and potentially powerful things about reddit - people come for the news, and stay for the community. Yishan Wong If, like me, you have many reasons to be less than secure and self-assured, and like me, you are far from stable even on your best days, don't for a moment imagine a psychotherapist will be of more help than a physiotherapist. Charles Saatchi Alison Lohman is an amazing actress. I was so proud to work with her. Taryn Manning Family is always first. Nick Cannon As long as I'm in great shape, nobody beats me, for sure. Usain Bolt Sometimes I wish I could get fired. Matt Stone Marriage equality changed life for people. Andrew Cuomo I guess my writing has changed as my life has. Raymond Carver Friendship is mutual blackmail elevated to the level of love. Robin Morgan

I was in the bath at the time, and my dad came running in and

said, 'Guess who they want to play Harry Potter!?' and I started to cry. It was probably the best moment of my life. Daniel Radcliffe That's what I love about music. It's immediate. There's a connection whether you are playing at Hyde Park or Chicago, and it's been happening since the beginning of time and the troubadours. Joe Perry In London, people can be so... well, it's not even a case of people being unkind or unfriendly. You just don't make any contact in London. You go from A to B with your eyes on the pavement. Carey Mulligan No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated. Nelson Mandela I'm not about hurting the person I'm with. Tila Tequila The curse of a journalist is that he always has more questions than answers. Bill Keller Different times need different types of leadership. Park Geun-hye You can't really achieve anything in three years. Cate Blanchett My sisters said, Why do you make thos

There isn't a dearth of it, but I will confess that it's harder for me

to find songs on which I'm willing to invest anything from ten to fifteen hours writing an arrangement than it was in times past. Mel Torme Obamacare represents a shocking display of political arrogance. It's about time Washington started listening to Americans' common sense voices. Fred Upton I think young people have a wonderful reaction to color because it's not screwed up by too many references. Jim Hodges You have to know when to strike and when to retreat. John Oates I'm a much better writer for being a father. Chris Cleave I'm like an old dog, I hate to be run off from home. Doc Watson It was a turning point in the sense that as a scene, we can up with a lot of new ideas. Arto Lindsay An optimist is a girl who mistakes a bulge for a curve. Ring Lardner Self-will in the man who does not reckon wisely is by itself the weakest of all things. Aeschylus My curiosity sustains me for the period of the shoot. Daniel Day-Lewis

I was a hostess, I sold shoes, but I don't function well in jobs that

don't have to do with what I love. I have cleaned bathrooms in theaters, I have sold wine in theaters, I have sold tickets, because I will do anything, anything, to stay in this world. Nina Arianda One does not become fully human painlessly. Rollo May Twitter's a lot of work! That's the first thing I would say. There's so much pressure to be funny. Ari Graynor As people do a task, they improve at it. Emily Oster You Liberals think that goats are just sheep from broken homes. Malcolm Bradbury I want it to go on, but I want us to go out on top. Matt Groening It takes time to be who you really want to be. It doesn't happen overnight. Chanel Iman I expend far too much of my maternal energies on guilt and regret. Ayelet Waldman I am a romantic, I admit it. Keith Jarrett I spent 20 years of my career primarily being a writer for hire. Frank Darabont

I used to be a good party boy. I'm old. I'm an old man. You

pay the consequences. I'm just fine with a couple of drinks, no more than that. Javier Bardem Sometimes I don't even pull my shoes off for six weeks at a time, except, you know, just to take a shower. I just take breaks between 24 hours a day, just a break now and then, it don't take me long to rest; maybe 20 to30 minutes sometime, or maybe an hour. Howard Finster We in Congress stand by Israel. In Congress, we speak with one voice on the subject of Israel. Nancy Pelosi Fulfillment is often more trouble than it is worth. Mason Cooley I love the written word so much, I know it's gonna flow naturally. Alicia Keys The relationship between talent and management is uneasy, at best. Jessica Savitch My beautiful son... I can't wait to see his face, hug him, and spend time with him. Jencarlos Canela I have always advised people never to apply for a job you do not really want. Michael Todd I really admire people who are extraordinarily tolerant and pa

Even if the dollar does decline during the coming months, the delays in the response

of exports and imports to the more competitive dollar will mean that the increase in aggregate demand from this source may not happen for a year or more. Martin Feldstein I keep waiting for the roof to cave in. I was raised to follow the Golden Rule, you know, treat people the way you wish to be treated. That's kind of the way I live my life. Maybe someone up there likes me for that. Matt LeBlanc If you think about Shakespeare, you remember Richard III and Macbeth before you remember Ferdinand, whose role is just to fall in love and be a bit of a wimp. I love the baddies. More important, though, is making the baddies somehow, weirdly, understood. Mark Strong I'm an equal-opportunity law-enforcement guy - I lock everybody up. Joe Arpaio I am trying to attend every training session and do all of my workouts. Asafa Powell I love, love, love Michael Jackson. Amber Riley The thing that drives me more than anything else is being a father. Dean Cain We're givi

In fiction, too, after the death of Cooper the main tendency for nearly a generation

was away from the conquest of new borders to the closer cultivation, east of the Mississippi, of ground already marked. Carl Clinton Van Doren It is our happiness to live under the government of a PRINCE who is satisfied with ruling according to law; as every other good prince will - We enjoy under his administration all the liberty that is proper and expedient for us. Jonathan Mayhew When I was a kid, I was at a bowling alley and I ran into a soda machine. I still have the scar on my right eyebrow obviously. Luke Perry Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall. Ray Bradbury I think I'm past the age of getting lost. Amanda Seyfried I'm not sure that niceness is what we should promote in writers. Lorrie Moore Temporary tax cuts don't create permanent confidence, nor permanent jobs. Mark McKinnon It's never really fun to have to cry in a scene or anything like that. Abigail Breslin I've always been into sports and being p

Let me tell you, if I could write one-tenth as fast as some of my

friends, I'd be made. I'd be it. But instead I happen to be, in the tree of life of writers, down at the bottom, with the hematodes. Junot Diaz I am not surprised that this is a longer bit of work than many of us would have hoped. It is not where any of us would have hoped it is. And I think we need to give credit to the Republicans in Congress who have done everything they can to defeat every jobs bill and slow down the economy. Martin O'Malley The chief role of the universities is to prolong adolescence into middle age, at which point early retirement ensures that we lack the means or the will to enforce significant change. J. G. Ballard I have to make this love affair believable enough. It's very European. Chita Rivera Without promotion, something terrible happens... nothing! P. T. Barnum You say you're a comedian, you always have to be on guard. Anthony Anderson I can generate attention quickly. Scott Ritter My hair has been mocked a lot. B

I love how the men stand around cooking the barbie while the women have done

all the work beforehand doing the marinade and making the salads and then everybody says, 'what a great barbie' to the guy cooking. A barbecue is just the ultimate blokes' pastime, isn't it? Curtis Stone I think the more avenues that open up when people want to publish, the better. Some of the authors that want to jump ship from the traditional houses and go on their own, you know what? Good luck. It's going to be a lot tougher than you think. Vince Flynn 'Game of Thrones' is a fantasy show not dedicated to any specific time, but it seems to exist in sort of a 1400s medieval fantasy world, and in that setting, I wouldn't have had a six-pack. Gwendoline Christie I am just like any other girl, a sucker for romance. Amber Heard I make time to write. Stanley Tucci Art transcends cultural boundaries. Thomas Kinkade It is impossible for one class to appreciate the wrongs of another. Elizabeth Cady Stanton The Bible has done more harm than

When I was younger, I had no interest. But after I went to Paris to

see the collections for the first time a few years ago, they made a huge impression on me. I realized that fashion is an art form, like acting or painting. Camilla Belle Jealousy can even be good for love. One partner may feel secretly flattered when the other is mildly jealous. And catching someone flirting with your beloved can spark the kind of lust and romance that reignites a relationship. Helen Fisher A novel and its writer are inseparable: you are your books. A play's not like that at all. 'Abandonment's not mine - it's everyone's. I wanted it to be a co-operative thing because I was tired of that anal control that I have over novels. Kate Atkinson God must have been on leave during the Holocaust. Simon Wiesenthal Well, yeah, but I probably wasn't as open about my desperation. Edie Falco I was quite happy with the way I went, I think. Lalla Ward Unless you have kids, you actually have no idea what kids are watching on TV these days. Hen

Baseball is a spirited race of man against man, reflex against reflex. A game of

inches. Every skill is measured. Every heroic, every failing is seen and cheered, or booed. And then becomes a statistic. Ernie Harwell Here an attempt is made to explain suffering: the outcaste of traditional Hinduism is held to deserve his fetched fate; it is a punishment for the wrongs he did in a previous life. Walter Kaufmann There are a great many men valued in society who have nothing to recommend them but serviceable vices. Francois de La Rochefoucauld And I had not much of a voice. I didn't play that great guitar either. Leonard Cohen Give me something to do and you will make me happy. Maria Grazia Cucinotta When Fortune smiles, I smile to think how quickly she will frown. Robert Southwell I recorded my first jazz record in the '70s. Rita Coolidge By ignoring tomorrow, we undermine today. Jamais Cascio Any types of auditions will be posted in trade magazines. Paula Abdul There a great ethnic cuisine available to you in Chicago. Jose Garces

It is hard to know how many people do, but given that the people are

so docile towards the rulers, nowadays, very few Americans show the passion for freedom that our forefathers had. James Bovard I worked in publishing before I became an author, so I knew how a book gets made. Lauren Oliver I would say probably Pirates of Silicon Valley just because I'm proud of the work, playing Gates. Anthony Michael Hall I beg you I no magician. I can't just wave a magic wand. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf Rise above principle and do what's right. Joseph Heller In politics, the people I most despise are those who have no values. Diane Abbott I always wanted to have my own album released before I graduated from high school. Christina Aguilera I had a father who was a traveling salesman. Philip Seymour Hoffman The rudiment of verse may, possibly, be found in the spondee. Edgar Allan Poe I like to practice on the bass, but I don't do it as often as I should. Geddy Lee

My father taught me to paint when I was young with watercolors and so I

learned at a very young age the essential elements of the value of light and composition. Matthew Modine Names and individuals are unimportant when Germany's final fate is at stake. Franz von Papen I just try to stay positive and focused on the tennis, not let anything get to me, like crazy questions. But I'm tough, let me tell you, tough as nails. Venus Williams It is only when men begin to worship that they begin to grow. Calvin Coolidge For me, going away to work is the hardest part of my life and career. Diane Lane We're not going to have another Watergate in our lifetime. I'm sure. Bob Woodward I make sure I sing a cappella to let people know I can sing. T-Pain Business leaders shape public opinion. Marvin Bower I'm going to do everything I can to keep from being mainstream. Eric Church Aggression is simply another name for government. Benjamin Tucker

There is a time when we must firmly choose the course which we will follow

or the endless drift of events will make the decision for us. Herbert V. Prochnow One day when I have a band I will have a band name, but since it's just me I feel it should just be my name. For me it doesn't make much sense since the music is from me and about me. I haven't ever been in a band. Sharon Van Etten When I see my children, and when I see the people who value me, I know how lucky I am. Kevin Costner Fashion is to please your eye. Shapes and proportions are for your intellect. Carolina Herrera I was quiet for a year but I had 4,000 articles written about me. Heather Mills A film's success or failure is strictly on the director's shoulders. Robin Tunney Barack Obama is the most famous living person in the history of the world. Dee Dee Myers Marriage is not common in Sweden. Eva Gabrielsson Funny things happen to you in movies for silly reasons. Michael Caine All you see on television are debased images. Prince

It's only very recently that women have succeeded in entering those professions which, as Muses,

they typified for the Greeks. Mary Ritter Beard I just did something on a show on UPN called 'Girlfriends' that will be on television in February. I am actually a much better actor today than I was in 1996, believe it or not. Christopher Darden I didn't know my mother had it. I think a lot of women don't know their mothers had it; that's the sad thing about depression. You know, you don't function anymore. You shut down. You feel like you are in a void. Marie Osmond I'm always looking for inspiring ways to stay motivated and stay active. Kristi Yamaguchi I am currently in Haiti to help the Haitian people in their reconstruction. Jean-Claude Duvalier I always wanted to be a pilot. Bo Jackson If you don't go towards the thing you fear, you won't be able to say you lived. Sherri Shepherd My whole life had been designing computers I could never build. Steve Wozniak And the live show is still our main thing. Jerry Garcia My trum

Tokyo would probably be the foreign city if I had to eat one city's food

for the rest of my life, every day. It would have to be Tokyo, and I think the majority of chefs you ask that question would answer the same way. Anthony Bourdain I've dreamed a lot of things and a lot of them have come true. The Grammy nomination was the last thing on my list before I had to write a new one. So I'm working on a new one. Trombone Shorty It's art that pushes against psychological and social expectations, that tries to transform decay into something generative, that is replicative in a baroque way, that isn't about progress, and wants to - as Walt Whitman put it - 'contain multitudes.' Jerry Saltz To not pursue the thing one wants would be a waste of one's life. Rick Bass I think I can work with any type of actor. Ang Lee And Seaman, just like a falling oak, manages to change direction. John Motson I always loved aesthetics. Not particularly fashion, but an idea of beauty. Miuccia Prada Ultimately in the end, it's the

But then southern hemisphere teams are more skilful than their northern hemisphere counterparts, which means

games can be easier to referee. Alan Lewis That's the conundrum of cartoon stripping, as opposed to political cartoons. When your anger is the driving force of your drawing hand, failure follows. The anger is OK, but it has to serve the interests of the heart, frankly. Berkeley Breathed It seems difficult, sometimes, to believe that there was a time when sentiments now become habitual, sentiments that imply not only the original imperative of conduct, but the original metaphysic of living, were by no means altogether habitual. Lascelles Abercrombie The false is nothing but an imitation of the true. Marcus Tullius Cicero In my heart I know what kind of person I am, and that's good enough. Vijay Singh The guillotine was most effective and used until fairly recently. Herbert Lom The marketing is just as important as the music, almost. Robyn Knowledge is a weapon. I intend to be formidably armed. Terry Goodkind My head was always in books. Kate Bosworth B

Nicole Kidman in particular seems to bring out the butt-kisser in the sassiest of hackettes,

as they ceaselessly strive to portray her as some sort of cross between Mother Teresa and Marilyn Monroe. Julie Burchill We made only one real mistake. And even then we were right. Ben Bradlee For most of American history, of course, the important religious divides were between denominations - not just between Protestants and Catholics and Jews but between Lutherans and Episcopalians and Southern Baptists and the other endlessly fine-tuned sects. Hanna Rosin I am a quiet man who grows through adversity. Jose Maria Aznar I was named Beekeeper of the Year by the Florida State Beekeeping Association. Peter Fonda Life and death are important. Don't suffer them in vain. Bodhidharma There were thousands of abolitionists who were free traders. Robert Toombs Cartoons are not real drawings, because they are drawings intended to be read. Chris Ware I would defy people to find a more beautifully developed character than Seven of Nine. Jeri Ryan We will continue to w

People call me for the ballads. Apparently that's where I've been pigeonholed. But it's really

interesting and really fun. It's my favourite part of the job, writing. Sia However, we still have the problem of free travel and movement, since the Travel Documents issued by UNMIK as the substitute to passports, are not fully recognized yet by all countries. Ibrahim Rugova About two-thirds of bachelor's degree holders borrow to go to school, and on average they're graduating with more than $26,000 in debt. Arne Duncan I'm always surprised when large numbers of people buy my books. Patricia Cornwell After all, just one virus on a computer is one too many. Glenn Turner I didn't have a cup of coffee until I was 27. Elizabeth Hurley The life of the village became more and more affected by strikes and lock-outs. John Grierson Acting is a youthful profession. Kirk Douglas I freely admit I know nothing about television or writing for the screen. Charlaine Harris I don't see the point in working just to be working. Abbie Cornish

When you start with next to nothing, all you've got is a lot of thought,

a lot of innovation, figuring new ways to do things without using a lot of money. John Paul DeJoria I believe this with all my heart: The greatest coach of all time in my eyes is my mom. She's instilled in me a toughness and a perseverance and just a never-quit mentality, and I thank her every day for providing me, for what she sacrificed her life for. Scott Brooks Every woman needs to know the facts. And the fact is, when it comes to breast cancer, every woman is at risk. Debbie Wasserman Schultz One never really knows who one's enemy is. Jurgen Habermas I do not literally paint that table, but the emotion it produces upon me. Henri Matisse There wasn't a key moment when I knew I wanted to quit.

Aaron Levie I always try to have a vacation. Sophia Lore

The director's job is full of all sorts of annoyances and details - like how

many cars are on the street. Ugh. I don't want it. I like my gig. And I feel that for the next 30 years or so I can keep learning more about it. Tyne Daly I'm extremely well recognized in Korea just because of what I do on the ice, and there is a lack of that in Canada because hockey is our sport and it will be for eternity. Patrick Chan I'm very silly as a person, but quality silliness on-screen has more of an art to it. Harrison Ford, whom I was in 'Morning Glory' with, has mastered that dry funny better than anyone. Rachel McAdams Your white uniform as a black domestic was your ticket anywhere in town. Kathryn Stockett People who hate God... take it out on innocent people. Pat Robertson Education has for its object the formation of character. Herbert Spencer I was an emotional basket case. Jennifer Capriati Find $50 a month for savings. No excuses! Suze Orman You have to pick your battles on set. Claire Danes Stage is the most exciting.

Of all the depressing abuses of language in business, there is none that gets me

so incensed as the rampant overuse of the word 'passionate' in company slogans, marketing blurbs, mission statements and on the sides of vans. Tom Hodgkinson There's no doubt that the Christian right has gone to bed with the more conservative elements of the Republican Party. And there's been a melding in their goals when it comes to the separation of church and state. I've always believed in the separation of church and state. Jimmy Carter The thing with me is if I feel disrespected I won't hesitate to fight. But it takes a lot to make me feel disrespected. ASAP Rocky Lord knows, I never want to waste any more of my time in mirrors. Lauren Hutton Society is the union of men and not the men themselves. Charles de Secondat It's never fun to read death threats. Tim Heidecker Culture drives great results. Jack Welch Our swords shall play the orators for us. Christopher Marlowe You know, most people really don't know me. Marilyn Monr

The secrecy thing has gotten to be more and more prevalent in films, and maybe

that's good. It's nice to go see a film and not know anything about it. Sometimes I feel like we know too much about films. Karen Allen Time, which wears down and diminishes all things, augments and increases good deeds, because a good turn liberally offered to a reasonable man grows continually through noble thought and memory. Francois Rabelais I'm not good at multitasking. Patrick Chan Eighty per cent of global warming comes from livestock and deforestation. Heather Mills I don't like the intellectual label.

Alexis Carrel A woman has the age she deserves. Coco Chanel Musicians are in-season all the time. John Legend Why should we use the Dollar even when we trade among ourselves? Abu Bakar Bashir

One of the tricky things about running a TV show is that you just never

know how good the guest stars you cast on a weekly basis, how good they're going to be in the episode. Sometimes they surprise you in good ways and sometimes they surprise you in disappointing ways. Shawn Ryan I liked the more sophisticated urban style of blues like Ray Charles and B. B. King, Bobby Blue Bland, Lou Rawls; people like that with more of a tendency toward jazz. Edgar Winter There's nothing I find quite as annoying as the phrase 'I told you so.' Ayelet Waldman There's no doubt that I owe a lot to my training of stage acting. Denis Lavant I'm constantly trying to be as original as I can. Guy Pearce One can never know for sure what a deserted area looks like. George Carlin The best definition of an immortal is someone who hasn't died yet. Tom Holt Music is the art of the prophets and the gift of God. Martin Luther I pray daily... for peace. Paul O'Neill Barking dogs occasionally bite, but laughing men hardly ever sho

We all drew on the comfort which is given out by the major works of

Mozart, which is as real and material as the warmth given up by a glass of brandy. Rebecca West I said, to hell with the whole thing, to hell with show business. I'm gonna make a new life for myself, and I got off drugs, completely kicked all that stuff. Tommy Kirk I was paid to read Western economic texts. In a way, the regime paid for their own undermining. Vaclav Klaus Winter dressing is all about having chic outerwear. George Kotsiopoulos We have had to play some mighty tough audiences. Doc Watson I am best viewed from a distance... and at night. Jenny Eclair I listen to Morricone, the famed Italian film composer, while I'm working. Daniel Handler The United States is the laughingstock of the world. Scott Ritter Being Irish was a big thing for me, particularly growing up in Chicago. Lara Flynn Boyle This Adonis in loveliness was a corpulent man of fifty. H. L. Hunt

I write music just for me. I'm certainly not good enough to do it on

any kind of a level but I enjoy that time because it's quiet. Alex O'Loughlin I know a lot of writers who would much rather be writing the Great American Novel, but they've got bills to pay and alimony, and so they take a job at a less-than-reputable paper. You know, you do what you gotta do. Eric Stoltz If my mother knew I did this for a living, she'd kill me. She thinks I'm selling dope. Henny Youngman Prejudices are what fools use for reason. Voltaire We are the greatest country in the world but we are facing serious issues. Rick Larsen The great regret of my life is that I didn't have children. Charlie Rose May this house stand until an ant drinks the ocean and a tortoise circles the world. Jonathan Carroll I live to collect information, and I am also a perfectionist. Meghan O'Rourke The greatest crime in a Shakespeare play is to murder the king. Alex Cox The director is the only person who knows what the film is about. Satyaj

I received a phone call; my agent got a phone call from Ryan Murphy saying

he wanted to talk to me... And he basically outlined 'American Horror Story' for me and said that there's a character named Larry the Burn Guy, and I'd like you to play it.

But I can say what interests me about documentary is the fact that you don't

know how the story ends at the onset - that you are investigating, with a camera, and the story emerges as you go along. Errol Morris We don't have a lot of class-conscious filmmaking. Roger Ebert There is nothing wrong with your marriage if you're dealing with bills and kids and the broken garbage disposal and in-laws and work demands. That's a normal marriage.

I had a daughter who was 9 years old and I had the feeling I

wasn't going to be a real parent if I didn't quit making movies for a while and spend time with her. I also felt that I'd made enough movies and said what I had to say at the time. Jane Campion I'm a jacket man. And if I'm without one, I am kind of seriously disabled. I don't know how to operate in shirt sleeves.

indeed, precisely the opposite is the case: if done in an intelligent way, you attain the sovereignty to better solve national problems in cooperation with others. Ulrich Beck I don't want to look sloppy, because then I feel sloppy. Karl Lagerfeld She is Cuba. If you want to love her, you have to be with her, but you can't be with her in her current state.

Abrams Without comedy as a defense mechanism I wouldn't be able to survive. Garry Shandling I'm really tough. It's a state of mind.

As obesity creeps into preschools, and hypertension and type II diabetes become pediatric problems for

the very first time, the case for starting preventive health care in the cradle has become too compelling to keep ignoring. Heidi Murkoff Very often some of the religious miracle plays you see on television can be very corny, I find. And so simplistic. Robert Duvall Well no administration ever wants an independent overseer, and there are very good career people who are in charge of this investigation, but it could get hairy.

Eventually, if you had a printer that is IPP compliant, that printer will have a

Web address and anyone around the world who can get on the Internet can print to that URL. Robert Palmer Connecting with people is not hard. I love the interaction and the feedback after shows.

Sheena Easton You can't learn pathos or profundity. Nigel Kennedy All you need for happiness is a good gun, a good horse, and a good wife. Daniel Boone Nothing comes merely by thinking about it. John Wanamaker

The civil rights movement was based on faith. Many of us who were participants in

this movement saw our involvement as an extension of our faith. We saw ourselves doing the work of the Almighty. Segregation and racial discrimination were not in keeping with our faith, so we had to do something. John Lewis When I was hitch-hiking, people had to follow me, 'cause I didn't stay long.

go into macro trading, any man or woman can do anything to which they set their heart and mind. Paul Tudor Jones If I look at the message I'm portraying, I think it definitely is be who you are, but be your best you. Kim Kardashian As children, many of us were taught never to talk to strangers. As parents and grandparents, our message must change with technology to include strangers on the Internet. Judy Biggert We turn the Cube and it twists us. Erno Rubik I can enjoy anywhere, and I can leave it. Life is about moving on. Waris Dirie There are enough no smoking places now. David Hockney Instead of noblemen, let us have noble villages of men.

to write about friendship, especially women's friendship and how women use friendship to sustain themselves and nurture each other. Jennifer Chiaverini It's fantastic for Arsenal, and for English football as well. You've got an English club with a lot of young English talent committing themselves to a club. Dennis Bergkamp The only people playing the roles of classic rock stars are hip-hop artists, now. Kanye's stage persona, and the way he approaches making albums, and the way he wants to be better than everyone else? That's reminiscent of Freddie Mercury. That's reminiscent of the Beatles.

Robert Duvall Music is such a healing thing, no matter who you are. Kate Voegele If I could be granted a wish, I'd shine in your eye like a jewel. Bette Midler Chemot

Obama does not need to worry as much as past Democratic presidents about being labeled

soft on national security - not after giving the order that led to the assassination of Osama bin Laden. No, his biggest concern is being labeled tone deaf on joblessness and debt. Ron Fournier British girls are as temperamental as Americans. Ivor Novello If you stop one terror attack in the U.S., it may be connected to multiple other plots out there that are connected.

When you are doing endurance swimming you just need to take in as many carbs

as possible to put on as much weight as you can. Basically you can eat whatever you want, which can be quite fun. Everything is guilt-free. David Walliams Pickett's lines being nearer, the impact was heaviest upon them. James Longstreet You know, modern liberals are just, I think frankly, totally off the deep end... their only answer is to yell racism and hide. Newt Gingrich I write from my life, my experience. I'm selfish that way. Pink Nothing is an obstacle unless you say it is. Wally Amos When my journal appears, many statues must come down.

There is a broad cultural current that conveys the idea that a film is like

a football team, it represents a nation, it is illustrated literature, filmed radio. These are outdated concepts, totally out of touch with today's realities. Jean-Jacques Annaud A man's real life is that accorded to him in the thoughts of other men by reason of respect or natural love. Joseph Conrad OK, he and Katie fell in love, they're getting married. Why is this in the news? Why is this a big deal? Is there something unusual about meeting someone and falling in love? Mimi Rogers My national identity is first American. My religious identity is first Muslim. Dalia Mogahed I like shopping, and I like to drive. Lacey Chabert For me, now, working and children is it. There's nothing more to life. Aidan Gillen I don't want to be called a point guard, but I can't stop it. LeBron James Self-parody is the first portent of age. Larry McMurtry I truly believe my job is to make sure people smile. Shah Rukh Khan You learn more when things go wr

That was not part of the U.N. resolution; it was not part of the mandate

to go on to Baghdad and, frankly, if we had gone into Baghdad and pushed Saddam Hussein off, we would have inherited an even bigger mess than the mess we inherited with the refugee problem. Les Aspin As athletes, we're defined by what we've accomplished. Those are what most people remember and what you get paid for. But I learned more from my failures than from all of my successes put together - failures as an athlete and as a person. Dan O'Brien Now an embryo may seem like some scientific or laboratory term, but in fact the embryo contains the unique information that defines a person. All you add is food and climate control, and some time, and the embryo becomes you or me. Todd Akin As a kid, I dreamed about being onstage. Mary J. Blige To be able to live and work in the United States is a privilege. David Geffen Dore Schary was then head of the studio and he wanted to change my name. Rod Taylor Medication can help us live a happier life. Carnie Wilson

Ferdinand was a gold trader. He was a lawyer for mining companies. When he entered

politics in l949, he had tons and tons of gold. When Bill Gates was a college dropout, Ferdinand already possessed billions of dollars and tons of gold. It wasn't stolen. Imelda Marcos Language is political. That's why you and me, my Brother and Sister, that's why we supposed to choke our natural self into the weird, lying, barbarous, unreal, white speech and writing habits that the schools lay down like holy law. June Jordan There were probably about five games in my career where everything was moving in slow motion and you could be out there all day, totally in the zone, and you don't even know where you are on the field, everything is just totally blocked out.

A lot of bad music sells a million copies; I don't think it's a good

litmus test for whether things are going well. Ben Lovett It's a blessing and a curse. But it's not always the best situation to be in. As a profession, I don't recommend acting at all. Armand Assante I think there's been a decline in the public's access to what's being done with their tax dollars, what's being done in their name. I hope that that will be repaired. Bill Keller I think a lot of presidents learn to be president by being president. Dee Dee Myers My mom is painfully sweet; she's from Nebraska. Gabrielle Union Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self. May Sarton There is always a delightful sense of movement, vibration and life.

It's always been a dream of mine, of exploring the living world, of classifying all

the species and finding out what makes up the biosphere. E. O. Wilson My mom is an art teacher and is very much into the performing arts. What can I say? She is the female in my life and has guided me on how to act and conduct myself. A lot of my strength comes from her. Erin Andrews The airplane has had a big impact on my life. Jim Courier Religion has done love a great service by making it a sin. Anatole France I think that emotion and good stories can cross the times.

Ludacris

Our Age of Anxiety is, in great part, the result of trying to do today's

job with yesterday's tools and yesterday's concepts. Marshall McLuhan But Saudi Arabia is surprising in a lot of ways. Like any place, or any people, it relentlessly defies easy categorization. Dave Eggers Young kids are doing the same thing I did, but they're doing it differently. They don't do brain surgery the way they used to do it either. Tom T. Hall I played a lot of real normal, straight sessions. Warren Zevon Both on an individual and a national scale, debt imprisons. Tom Hodgkinson I'm meant for California. Lauren Conrad Bangkok, like Las Vegas, sounds like a place where you make bad decisions. Todd Phillips Good means not merely not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong. Democritus All music is beautiful. Billy Strayhorn I've never met an American who wanted to build an empire. Tom Wolfe

It is necessary to posit something which is necessary of itself, and has no cause

Successful guys. Not necessarily financially. Ivanka Trump Somebody referred to what I do as subliminal activism, which I like. Edward Burtynsky

like to cross the divide between the personal world and the scientific world. Temple Grandin Steve produced Girls Grow Up Faster Than Boys and one more.

I went to the doctor recently and she actually prescribed that I go out for

ten minutes a day, I'm so depleted on vitamin D. Jorma Taccone It's hard to find a play that's right for me to do.

Henry James Most people no longer live in nuclear famil

you talking to another guy, that instinct kicks in and he jumps to protect you and prove he's worthy of your love. Helen Fisher I'd love to be a diva. But I'd then have to send so many apology notes for my abhorrent behaviour. Amy Adams We don't take care of our teachers and our cops and our firemen. They should be at the top of our list. Brad Garrett Matching shoes and bags immediately age you by 10 years. Ines de La Fressange I like studio movies; I love big commercial movies. Casey Affleck I tried to give up drugs by drinking.

Mel Brooks When I dance, I forget everything else and just feel completely happy. Katherine Jenkins

When I over-prepare, I try to let it all go and forget all about it

when the camera rolls, so I can just be present with the other actors and allow what's going to happen to happen without too much preconception. John Hawkes My approach to acting is that I am totally intuitive. I read the script and I get it. If I don't get it, I can't do it. Morgan Freeman MTV lets us do whatever we want.

Steve Coogan A vacation is having nothing to do and all day to do it in. Robert Orben New York is full of crazy people, and I like that. Jamie Bell

I think, first and foremost, Marie Antoinette was intellectually impoverished. She really had never been

introduced to the notion of abstract thinking - of thinking at all in any profound way. Kathryn Lasky Ethics are not necessarily to do with being law-abiding.

Words are really beautiful, but they're limited. Words are very male, very structured. But the

I saw many people who had advanced heart disease and I was so frustrated because

I knew if they just knew how to do the right thing, simple lifestyle and diet steps, that the entire trajectory of their life and health would have been different. Mehmet Oz As I traveled from one country to another, no one knew anything about me. So I could be anybody, I could speak as I wished, act as I wished, dress as I wished.

When I grew up, what was interesting for me was that music was color and

life was gray. So music for me has always been more than entertainment.

Patti Stanger I've always been fascinated by the idea that there's no such thing as evil; it's all in your point of view. To one group a suicide bomber is the antichrist and to one he's a hero.

Hanna Rosin The degree of loving is measured by the degree of giving. Edwin Louis Cole

What I find interesting as a 40-year-old is the idea of trying to be a

part of a pronounced, continuing independent culture. The basic tenet of America is that you rebel and then you get real. Ian MacKaye With his economic speeches in response to Obama's 'you didn't build that' fiasco, Romney proved that he does have fire in his belly and that he is fervently dedicated to free enterprise, entrepreneurship and pro-growth policies. David Limbaugh Yes. I do about 70 shows a year, in the past year I've been to Italy, Australia, Japan, China, just about everywhere. I do it because I love singing. The money is a bonus.

Dave Ramsey Half the world does not know how the other half lives. Francois Rabelais I need to learn how to face challenges. Shawn Johnson I hate giving advice, because people won't take it. Jac

I used to wear heels because I wanted to show people I wasn't ashamed of

being tall. But I don't wear them any more because you don't have to wear heels to be beautiful. I can't even remember the last time I wore heels. Elle Macpherson I most often land up taking up the roles that I most detest. Christine Lahti Irish fiction is full of secrets, guilty pasts, divided identities. It is no wonder that there is such a rich tradition of Gothic writing in a nation so haunted by history. Terry Eagleton I like the stories with the historical themes. Sarah Sutton Our world is at the crossroads. We have a choice, right and wrong. LL Cool J Ignorance and bungling with love are better than wisdom and skill without.

She never tries for stupid shots. Tracy Austin I want to play interesting women. Rachel Weisz

be grateful for and I feel like society has gotten to that point where we're always looking for the next and the better and we lose sight of what's actually in front of us. Shailene Woodley You can be good at technology and like fashion and art. You can be good at technology and be a jock. You can be good at technology and be a mom.

Running for office is important, and you don't really need more than to be right

on the issues, and to be able to articulate what it is you believe. You don't need a certain background. You don't need to be a lawyer. You don't need to have some professional degree. Matt Gonzalez The ultimate aim of all science to penetrate the unknown. Do you realize we know less about the earth we live on than about the stars and the galaxies of outer space? The greatest mystery is right here, right under our feet. Walter Reisch I definitely get affected by new stuff. There's a lot of older influences, but there's also newer stuff too. Nuno Bettencourt Laughing is, like, my favorite thing to do. Agyness Deyn Every day is bizarre. Mia Kirshner Romcoms are challenging, but I'm hungry for drama.

Oksana Baiul I love living in London. Trevor McDonald I lived in Texas for 10

If everyone is good at something different, assigning chores is easy. If your partner is

great at grocery shopping and you are great at the laundry, you're set. But this isn't always - or even usually - the case. Emily Oster Pardon me for loitering in front of an orchestra. John Goodman I think that obstacles lead to growth and ultimately, the most learning I've done in my life is between jobs. Anthony Michael Hall Few men desire liberty; most men wish only for a just master. Sallust Death is a monster; death is horrible. N. T. Wright Nobody is so weird others can't identify with them. Rebecca Miller I don't want to be in the film business. I'm not even sure it's a business. Eli Broad My brain is just always going and going and going. Nicholas Brendon The beautiful 1940s women were a strong influence for me. Rachel Roy Anything that gets children reading is fine. Michael Morpurgo

Working on the themes I was interested in, through the context of a particular family,

was a very economical way of dealing with a lot of the issues I was concerned with. Atom Egoyan I think the reality is that, that money was probably badly spent. Alan Hansen In the past, I used to argue with those who didn't share my views. I felt this incredible need to 'make my point.' Now I live my life and do my best to be an example of what seems right to me. Victoria Moran I am famous because I am an African American jazz artist. Nat King Cole I'd love to design a school. Nolan Bushnell A lot of my time was spent searching, thinking and planning my life. Ryan White The places I've worked in the past, I always stayed three years and moved on. Craig Kilborn Younger guys are just too jealous. Adriana Lima Now that I'm a parent, I understand why my father was in a bad mood a lot. Adam Sandler Greed and globalization aren't just America's fault. Arlo Guthrie

Programmers are in the enviable position of not only getting to do what they want

to, but because the end result is so important they get paid to do it. There are other professions like that, but not that many. Linus Torvalds Mothers tend to be more direct. Fathers talk to other fathers about their kids more metaphorically. It's a different way of communication. Richard Louv If my career detour from special education to singing has done one thing, it has afforded me the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others. Clay Aiken I tell the stories that are of interest to me. Ava DuVernay I'm not sensitive, I'm not a weepy person. Gabrielle Union I have a great time touring. LeAnn Rimes The United States being in Asia is unambiguously a good thing for the region. Paul Keating You can't arrest me, I'm a rockstar. Sid Vicious We're involved in trillions of little acts just to keep going. Morrie Schwartz I loved doing sitcoms. Will Estes

I told my father I wanted to play the banjo, and so he saved the

money and got ready to give me a banjo for my next birthday, and between that time and my birthday, I lost interest in the banjo and was playing guitar. Jackson Browne What remains constant for me, during the last 15 years, has been the conviction that the cold war was a calamity for the entire world, and that it can be justified by no consideration of theory, nor by any supposed national interest. Earl Browder But really I'm not terribly interested in what I eat. Jilly Cooper I love documentaries, I like observing real people. Tracey Ullman Sometimes you just gotta be drop-kicked out of the nest. Robert Downey, Jr. Well, I think, by definition, all power has limits. Hillary Clinton Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge. Stephen Hawking Being dull and boring is far more tragic than being tacky. Thom Filicia I was 7, and I remember being given a part in a play and thinking, This is exciting. Alan Rickman I

I am sure there is a right way and a wrong way and in today's

life, there are many different rules of being politically correct. Mike Singletary The goodness of a thing created is the perfection of its fitness for the use which it serves. Now that use is either particular or universal. William Ames What I see for the band by the end of this year is the Complex live at the Montreux Jazz Festival. I want my guys to be comfortable. I'm certainly not in this for the money, but I'd really like to see my guys make some money off of this stuff. Jimmy Chamberlin No, I'm sure that there's a lot of L.A. bands out there. Josh Silver Borrowing and spending is not the way to prosperity. Paul Ryan There is beauty when something works and it works intuitively. Jonathan Ive With my sunglasses on, I'm Jack Nicholson. Without them, I'm fat and 60. Jack Nicholson If I can't get a mental image from the song, I won't sing it. Namie Amuro Baltimore is a great place. Julie Bowen I'd love to a duet with Luth

I think in terms of me shying away from modelling, I would like to clarify

in some way that I was taking a break from many things in my life and obviously what people in the public see is that I'm pulling away from what is more public. Gemma Ward I always complain because I'm old now and everything hurts. Mike Rowe My first experiences of academic friendship made me smile in after years when I looked back on them. But my circle of acquaintances had gradually grown so large that it was only natural new friendships should grow out of it. Georg Brandes I wouldn't say that I'm particularly bothered or obsessed with detail. Wes Anderson For me, I've always wanted to do theater, so I gravitate toward it. Justin Bartha It's great to have an acting job in the age of Reality TV. Lauren Graham Fixing health care and fixing the economy are two sides of the same coin. Ron Wyden The right-wing just loves making a big entrance. Steven Weber Her body calculated to a millimeter to suggest a bud yet guarantee a flower. F. Scott

It's hard enough to get any movie made, and when you take on these tough

genres - and I've done it a couple times - it just makes the whole struggle more. Lawrence Kasdan Aerobic dancing is already adjusting to injury problems and will probably phase out to some extent. Kenneth H. Cooper When the unwelcome little unborn shall have seen the light my brain will be lightened, and I shall have a clearer mind. Thank God that even this weary nine months shall come to an end and leave me in possession of my own body and my own soul. Julia Ward Howe I'm not a big-company guy. I need freedom and control. Evan Williams I usually take a two-hour nap from one to four. Yogi Berra I always took a great deal of pride in being original. Roger Miller I read 'Time', 'Newsweek' and 'The Economist'. Nelson DeMille Small gestures can have a big impact. Julianna Margulies I don't know if comedy is a male sport. I always wondered that. Maya Rudolph Brunch is boring, but that's part of the charm of it. Nicolas Ber

You can do a lot with Scotch tape. Almost anything! I love that you can

hem a dress, and its an instant remedy in a fashion crises. Jennifer Garner Priorities are the yearly goals that I'm most interested in achieving, then they become operationalized through weekly goals. Robert Pozen Before I took the veil, I was ornamented for the ceremony, and was clothed in a rich dress belonging to the Convent, which was used on such occasions; and placed not far from the altar in the chapel, in the view of a number of spectators who had assembled, perhaps about forty. Maria Monk This film 'Hero' talks about the peace of Chinese people. Jet Li No ashes are lighter than those of incense, and few things burn out sooner. Walter Savage Landor Red hair stigmatizes you. David Caruso 'American Idol' has taken over my whole life. Paula Abdul I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be anywhere. I'm not kidding. Larry Hagman The glory of being a carrier pilot has certainly worn off. George H. W. Bush Usually Mexico, or alwa

You know when you're young and you see a play in high school, and the

guys all have gray in their hair and they're trying to be old men and they have no idea what that's like? It's just that stupid the other way around. Clint Eastwood The left dismisses talk about the collapse of family life and talks instead about the emergence of the growing new diversity of family types. Christopher Lasch When I perform onstage, I'm actually kind of nearsighted, so I don't have any real, true understanding of what the audience is like. Nick Cave The history of the past is but one long struggle upward to equality. Elizabeth Cady Stanton I am constantly amazed on every level at how lucky I am. Clancy Brown I didn't want to do film or commercials or television. Stephen Moyer I was not fighting myself at all as I used to. Daniela Hantuchova Truth, also is the pursuit of it. George Oppen I wanted to say to myself as much as anyone else that we made art. Kathleen Hanna I watch every reality show out there. Shannon Elizabet

I have learned that a bitter experience can make you stronger. I now boastfully say

that I have a hide like a rhinoceros... and I'm smiling. It's an interesting thing. Mel Gibson I've always internalized things. Peter Fonda Here's another secret - I have really big feet. I'm a size ten, so every opportunity I get I buy myself shoes. Freida Pinto You don't have to be worried about labeling me. Danny Aiello I just have never got into reading. Kid Rock Humanitarianism consists in never sacrificing a human being to a purpose. Albert Schweitzer I notice that most of the men who tease me about my hair, don't have any. Holland Taylor I ain't the same person I was when I bit that guy's ear off. Mike Tyson Learning something new is fun. Alex Trebek Rock and roll mainly but I can play passable jazz also. Suzi Quatro

One thing about me is that I'm very much like the Black Madonna. I love

to reinvent myself and that's because I am a very free person. Lil' Kim I couldn't care less about being a presenter at the Oscars. Tim Robbins Having money has given me a certain freedom, but being in the public eye has taken away a lot. Sadie Frost I'm easily distracted by other things in the world around me. Boz Scaggs The law: it has honored us; may we honor it. Daniel Webster There is great food in Vegas. Eric Ripert Only in America could you get away with the kind of comedy I did. Pat Morita My mom taught me not to talk about money. Hilary Duff You know, the best thing you can say about a horror film is, 'Don't see it.' Eli Roth I lost my confidence. Pat Summitt

Brenda did some little vocal arrangements for us and she got to sing as well.

So, we're happy to be able to work together and that's another reason why we look forward to doing more of these. Rick Derringer From the age of 12, I had an understanding that singing was something I loved to do more than anything, and I did say to myself, 'Why not?' But there were definitely some doubts along the way. Patty Griffin I was quite a reader before I became a writer. Tom T. Hall The best way to refine an interpretation is by getting out and performing. Joshua Bell My first gig was at Radio City Music Hall when I was 13. Questlove I struggled for 15 years in this business before Miami Vice came along. Don Johnson Rule of art: Cant kills creativity! Camille Paglia I had this talent for these stupid little teenage songs. Paul Anka He's a threat to win until his brain turns to tapioca. Gary McCord Call your opinions your creed, and you will change them every week. Phillips Brooks

Decades ago, Gerhard Richter found a painterly philosopher's stone. Like Jackson Pollock before him, he

discovered something that had been in painting all along, always overlooked or discounted. Jerry Saltz The way Americans understand and treat other peoples almost guarantees that the world will suffer more trouble. Nguyen Cao Ky Over the years you encounter just about every kind of crime. It doesn't harden you, but you become capable of reporting on just about anything human beings can do. However, any time we're dealing with the murder of a child it is always difficult. Catherine Crier I'm a giant Beatles fan. Taylor Momsen I've screwed up and I've overcommitted and it's typical of me. Robert Metcalfe I'm pretty easy going, I think. Beau Mirchoff There are a lot of people who can now see me as an artist for the first time. Alison Moyet You learn a lot about a person when you work together. Alexis Denisof Becoming famous and selling a lot of records doesn't change a thing. Macy Gray I loved playing Shaun, he's not that diff

You can have 10 bucks to 10 million bucks and if you got a crew,

imagination and a lot of people willing to turn in some work next to nothing, you going to have a feature. But you can't get beyond how expensive marketing the movie is, it's so crushing. Kevin Smith We live in a globalising world. That means that all of us, consciously or not, depend on each other. Whatever we do or refrain from doing affects the lives of people who live in places we'll never visit. Zygmunt Bauman Nature is in austere mood, even terrifying, withal majestically beautiful. Frederick Soddy The American people might have a criminal syndicate running their government. Cynthia McKinney I loved playing the part of the feisty Annie Sullivan in The Miracle Worker. Mercedes McCambridge Now I get to pick and choose exactly what I want to do. Verne Troyer My narrators tend to be women with low self-esteem, so I can send them to charm school. Elinor Lipman I love Ornette Coleman. I love Don Cherry. I love the way those guys play. Lou Reed I'

Michael Phelps is a sporting god among men. It is hard to say if anyone

will ever match his accomplishments, but it has been an honor to see him become a legend. He makes me proud of the American sports institution and proud of the sports that get mass attention only every four years. Johnny Weir I am intrigued with the shapes people choose as their symbols to create a language. There is within all forms a basic structure, an indication of the entire object with a minimum of lines that becomes a symbol. This is common to all languages, all people, all times. Keith Haring Change is one of my favourite words. Carol Vorderman You may be a redneck if... your lifetime goal is to own a fireworks stand. Jeff Foxworthy I gave out stars whenever an appropriate situation presented itself. Willie Stargell I sold my life to Capitol Records; it sucks. Melissa Auf der Maur Senators will do what they think they need to do to represent their constituents. John Cornyn I am a writer of the textbooks of scientology. L. Ron Hubbard I am struck by how c

I realized it was happening, but most people didn't realize it was happening. I mean,

because as a self-employed person, when there is a recession or a cutback in the economy, we feel it first. Because many self-employed people provide services that are nonessential. Iyanla Vanzant Personally, I just think rap music is the best thing out there, period. If you look at my deck in my car radio, you're always going to find a hip-hop tape; that's all I buy, that's all I live, that's all I listen to, that's all I love. Eminem Life is a glass of wine and having your feet washed - it's a biblical event, might I add. This is part of mankind's story. You are always looking for a moment to take a break. Mick Fleetwood There is no more dangerous country in the world today than Pakistan. Peter MacKay We are constantly creating ourselves by what we move toward or away from. George Weinberg I like to see things start, grow, and then move on to better things. Robin Leach I always try and learn as much as I can from different departments on

I never took sheet music seriously. I could do better myself just by listening to

other people and using my own intuition. Brian May Race, what is that? Race is a competition, somebody winning and somebody losing. Blood doesn't run in races! Come on! Beah Richards There's nothing so aphrodisiacal for a woman as money and success. Wilbur Smith For a married woman to flirt is a sin. Anna Held I don't honestly know why they offered me the part in Rent. Adam Rickitt My mom, she's still always there for me. Always. David Ortiz I love food shows: Anthony Bourdain, Iron Chef, Chopped, you name it. Donnie Wahlberg The truth is the best picture, the best propaganda. Robert Capa The Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Jihadism have nothing to do with each other. Steven Spielberg As an artist you have to have a certain amount of arrogance. Kim Weston

I had concluded when I was the prosecutor that I would vote against the death

penalty if I were in the legislature but that I could ask for it when I was satisfied as to guilt. Janet Reno I wouldn't support Limp Bizkit being on some snuff backyard brawling, fighting contest. Fred Durst New York's home. It's everything I'd want it to be. It's the most inspiring city I've ever been to, and I haven't been everywhere in the world, but I've been to quite a few places. Taylor Momsen I guess the painkillers wipe out your memory along with your ethics. Keith Olbermann Zamajobe is great. She's a terrific singer from South Africa. Lee Ritenour Freedom - an occupied space which must be reoccupied every day. John Ralston Saul I feel like I'm part of television history. Henry Ian Cusick My mother is incredible. I mean, still is today. Manolo Blahnik Hold back the tide. Keep your kids innocent as long as possible. Tony Danza But the cure for most obstacles is, Be decisive. George Weinberg

In Italy, on the breaking up of the Roman Empire, society might be said to

be resolved into its original elements, - into hostile atoms, whose only movement was that of mutual repulsion. Edward Everett I won't be satisfied until people want to hear me sing without looking at me. Of course, that doesn't mean I want them to stop looking. Marilyn Monroe In this day and age, the U.S. and Europe do not have the luxury of focusing solely on a single region. Susan Rice I was becoming post-ideological. Christopher Hitchens Fashion and style is just that. Fashion and style. It's not brain surgery. Cindy Crawford I've been loving music all my life. Randy Savage Newman's first law: It is useless to put on your brakes when you're upside down. Paul Newman I fear the boredom that comes with not learning and not taking chances. Robert Fulghum I never look back, I look forward. Steffi Graf Caution is the confidential agent of selfishness. Woodrow Wilson

Country of Origin labelling is something that consumers really want, and I think it's critical

to support Australian farmers. Christine Milne The interesting thing is that you don't often meet a poet who doesn't have a sense of humour, and some of them do keep it out of their poems because they're afraid of being seen as light versifiers. Wendy Cope I just think that giving a child a chance and sharing what you have with a child is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, as well as a child. Hillary Clinton Are people raised to be villains or vilified like I have become? Marilyn Manson It may be unfair of me but I do feel I know it. Tilda Swinton Young conductors who are confident enough, they very often have success. Kurt Masur After the war, in which I served as a pilot in the Air Force, I took up films. Ivor Novello I was all about my thoughts, my work, my inspiration. I was always in hair. Vidal Sassoon If you don't understand your limitations you won't achieve much in your life. Kevin Costner You see, I was the son of a

Gemeoss

Super-Earths are how we call a family of planets... up to two times larger and

about ten times more massive than the Earth. Dimitar Sasselov I always think my face is quite nondescript - it sort of fits in to any period. It's not really distinct enough for you to remember me from something. Kimberley Nixon I'm a pretty tenacious person; I get that from my mom. So sometimes, I use dark humor. I can't take myself too seriously. Art Alexakis My dad's a scientist, and my mom's a teacher, so I didn't grow up in a family that was into the entertainment world at all. Eloise Mumford I enjoy practicing law too much to even contemplate retiring, but I often think about engaging in serious study of the history of art, of the intricacies of classical music. I could write a fugue, or perhaps learn to play the cello. Karen DeCrow I graduated from college with a 3.92 GPA with a degree in computer programming and a BFA in fine arts and animation. My first job was painting a mural in the Grimaldi's in Queens. JWoww In my career as a d

I would absolutely love to go back to the simplicity of the '80s, where there

wasn't texting, social media, iPhones, or smartphones. I love the fact that you would go home and check your messages. I'm not well suited to the world of modern technology. Matthew Rhys I like the performing. And interviews, even. And the stuff that's not sitting in a room by yourself with empty paper. But I never loved writing, to tell you the truth. Randy Newman When you break a sweat you just feel great. You've got your endorphins going. You feel better. You look better. And if you aren't able to get a workout in, try to find a steam room somewhere. You just look and feel so much better after a sweat. Nicole Scherzinger I grew up kind of a tomboy and I used to fight with all the neighborhood boys. Edie Falco I like the body. I like to design everything to do with the body. Gianni Versace I have always been a Malibu Man, like all actors. Nick Mancuso Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. Paulo Coelho My

I was always under the impression that acting is an innate gift. One of the

first things I heard them say at Koothu-P-Pattarai was that actors should realise the art of acting through their training. Vijay Sethupathi I remember auditioning for 'Moulin Rouge!,' the part that Ewan McGregor played. I was so young: I was literally just out of college. Tobias Menzies When you have an opportunity to do a series, you want to stick it out. You don't know when you're going to get another one like that again. Cleavant Derricks I am a really great daughter. Millie Bobby Brown Let us fight until the end. Let me try at least that - fight. Pep Guardiola You can have an idea that everyone else thinks is dumb, and it's still a good idea. Ryan North When there is a ring on my finger, which is actually given to me, then I'll tell the world. Till then, no one can claim me. Priyanka Chopra You need not fear my extinction. Fear my proliferation! I've already reproduced! Lydia Millet We are at a point in our nation's history w

I think you have to take each movie for its own value. There will be

those you'll roll your eyes over and others you can't wait to see. It all has to do with the intention. If someone's intention is just to make money and exploit something for profit, then it's not good. If it's thoughtfully done, the proof's in the pudding.Carrie-Anne Moss I basically applied to law school as a way of telling my parents that I wasn't going to medical school.John Delaney At a certain point, if you still have your marbles and are not faced with serious financial challenges, you have a chance to put your house in order. It's a cliche, but it's underestimated as an analgesic on all levels. Putting your house in order, if you can do it, is one of the most comforting activities, and the benefits of it are incalculable.Leonard Cohen I simply love coming to Chennai. My wife always complains, saying, 'You literally run at the mention of Chennai - I wonder what it is about that place!' I love how everyone is active here 24/7.

I wanted to be a doctor at one point and I also wanted to be

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. James McAvoy I know what it's like to start a business. I know how extra ordinarily difficult it is to build something from nothing. I know how government kills jobs and, yes, I know how it can help from time- to-time. Mitt Romney I do, however, feel reasonably strongly the sense that the job of a piece of argumentative scholarly non-fiction is not the same as the job of a piece of fiction. China Mieville I was raised to think cursing makes you look unintelligent. Chloe Grace Moretz Listen to many, speak to a few. William Shakespeare I get recognized so much. It happens mostly when I'm in Starbucks. Katee Sackhoff I am bundle of nerves riddled with irrational fears. Tori Spelling I wrote songs all my life, where anyone wanted to hear them or not. Tommy Shaw As a teenager especially, I just wanted to do my thi

Now I know that I should take better care of myself when I'm under an

intense deadline, or else my body is gonna act in certain ways that are not good. Tyra Banks It has endless possibilities, and but what we do with our arrangements, we move the borders of cello playing and discover new ways of new techniques of cello playing. Luka Sulic The most surprising thing, honestly, is that so few Americans know about the orphan trains. I was also surprised at the resilience and fortitude of the riders I met, their pragmatism and grace. I don't know whether this is a Midwestern trait or simply a human one. Christina Baker Kline OkCupid has users from 18 to 80 on the site. And we get to observe all of their actions. We get to watch how they use the site, how they interact with other people. Sam Yagan If you read any of my books, they tend to have a strong historical perspective. Eric Kandel My nickname is Dickie Jukebox. I own thousands and thousands and thousands of songs. Richard Simmons I do love the music aspect of the Internet. The Inte

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

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

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

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

I rely on my iPad for on-the-go entertainment. I stock it with TV shows, like

'Parks and Recreation' and the British version of 'The Office.' I'm reading a Charles Manson biography on it too, since I'm weirdly into true crime. Phoebe Tonkin My birthmark essentially looks like I have a black eye. It isn't that bad, so you can imagine if it has been this big a part of my life, think of what it must be like for children with more serious birthmarks that cover half their face. Hannah Storm I love to make songs out of some of those shadows - you know, some of the things you lie awake thinking about, social anxieties and romantic insecurities and all that stuff. Matt Berninger The prosperity of the United States and the prosperity of the Hispanic community, as the fastest-growing community, are one and the same. The destinies are one and the same. Julian Castro Slavery is something that is all too often swept under the carpet. Lupita Nyong'o When I read 'The Water Diviner,' I was having the same kind of visceral r

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

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