My oldest son is about to move out to California, and my daughters are both out of town. Herbie Mann Once I'd chosen the songs, it seemed like it would just be a question then of recording them. But it's a case of trying to re-invent the songs; taking them in different directions. Martin Gore Usually in fist fights you get punched in the face.

Sharon Salzberg The Obama presidency, and liberalism in general, are based on not trusting the American people - a belief that big government is better for people. Bobby Jindal The left is back, and it's the only path we have to get out of the spot to which the right has sunken us. Socialism builds and capitalism destroys.

Eric Sevareid I was miserable in West Side Story. They really miscast me. I came from the Midwest; what they really needed was a guy that was street smart.

Richard Beymer I was born and raised in the South, which is pretty conservative. James Denton You can tell a lot about a person by the people who work for them.

resistance to injustice can sometimes be; I have in mind the grassroots opposition to the Vietnam War. Breyten Breytenbach Brands are useful ways of short-handing practically anything - look at the way Tom Wolfe first used brand name lists to sharpen up a character and a situation.

Michael Kors The U.S. cannot impose freedom, security, and unity in Iraq by force. Peter DeFazio Justice must not only be seen to be done but has to be seen to be believed. J. B.

I was nominated for the Oscar and there was no ad in the newspapers to say it was running. So it was literally killed.

We are not just designing for a country we are designing for a world now.

can abuse the film and create subtleties in contrast with light and exposure, diffusion and filters. That's what makes it an art. Conrad Hall The old 7 Series, the E38, was an elegant car, an evolution of the classic BMW look. But it wasn't penetrating the luxury market as we desired.

the characters that leaves a lasting impression on the reader's mind. Wilbur Smith I know it sounds corny, but when you follow your dreams, it happens. And if it's music, take it seriously.

Wentworth Miller I will give you three days to seek your shadow. Return to me in the course of that time with a well-fitted shadow, and you shall receive a hearty welcome; otherwise, on the fourth day - remember, on the fourth day - my daughter becomes the wife of another.

Dorie has taught me to use less weight and more repetition so I don't become too muscular.

it reflect the way I feel, that it touch me when I'm finished with it, that it moves me, that it can take me along with it and involve me in what its saying. Neil Diamond I'm not such a big star. I am just a little planet. In Spain, people don't put so much attention on the star system. But here in America, I can feel it. Mostly, people are very, very nice. But there are also a bunch of fanatics behind the stars. Antonio Banderas I think we're about ready for a new feeling to enter music. I think that will come from the Arabic world.

Dean Devlin I have made so many mistakes, and such really stupid ones, I would start blubbing away if I could remember even half of them. But do not dwell on cock-ups, I say.

David Giuntoli I don't know what I would do without my smartphone as I am on the go all day. Denise Van Outen I'm flattered that women think that I'm sexy.

after me. So it's really funny when girls get offended because I don't hit on them. Kellan Lutz Good music is very close to primitive language. Denis Diderot What is hard to remember when you're in the middle of it is that when you get through to the other side, you always walk away with a gift.

clear there has been no attempt to have any kind of getting along. David Keene What appeals to me? There are things, points of view, uses of the language, habits of dress, ways of thought and believing that came to me from my grandparents and came to them from theirs. Things that are of good use in any situation, no matter what the future may hold. Tommy Lee Jones I cannot get myself interested in video games.

those is a $30 pay-per-view option - not from Netflix but from DirecTV and others - of movies that are in the theater. Reed Hastings The most disastrous phenomenon of the current situation is the factor that imperialism is employing for its own ends all the powers of the proletariat, all of its institutions and weapons, which its fighting vanguard has created for its war of liberation. Clara Zetkin I'm thinking, 'Man, there's this whole other group of people that are attached to me because of my last name and my family's roots.' That's pretty cool.

Felix Baumgartner In America, you don't have to be weak, you have to be strong. Lea Seydoux All of the directors I've worked with I've gotten along with very well.

to be sedentary is just unacceptable. Not only is it great for your physical body, but it gives me more energy during the day if I've worked out. I feel better. I look better. Eva Longoria I guess I can't live without Netflix because I would have nothing to do. All I do is sit home and watch movies. Sara Paxton The key is within each of us. No instructions come with it. Raoul Vaneigem Men need marriage more than women do. In fact, they need it to survive. Hanna Rosin Normally, I never dress up. Roberto Cavalli Botox? I think it's fantastic and also horrible.

it implies a hugely superior intellect which separates them from most of the populace. F. Murray Abraham When I get up in the morning and put on a pink or a green wig, I see myself as a piece of animation. It lets me be the person I want to be, a person who's not embarrassed to have fun. Nicki Minaj I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.

want, but those rules mostly end up saving the lives of those other drivers who understand that living in a society means behaving in a commonly beneficial way. Steven Weber Nothing to me is unexpected. No disappointment is unexpected - whether it's movies or people or relationships. I'm always ready for the punch directly between the eyes. So I get hurt, but I never get hurt. Happens all the time. Brian Grazer Part of the reason why so many actors lose the plot when they go over to America is that they become part of an industry, so that's why they don't want to play weak, bad or vulnerable guys - because that's not sellable; that diminishes their profit margin. Peter Mullan I am furious about everything. Joan Rivers Most people regard getting their way as a matter of simple justice. Mason Cooley The handicap of deafness is not in the ear; it is in the mind. Marlee Matlin You may succeed in your policy and ensure your own damnation, by your victor

If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love. Tina Turner I don't think I've become arrogant. I'm pretty much the same person. I think the world has changed.

Du Bois These roads do not serve transportation alone, they also bind our Fatherland. Fritz Todt Real estate sales was perfect training for the experience to go into public life because you learn to accept rejection, learn to meet new people, learn to work with people and find common ground.

based on fear - that if I didn't, people would soon forget about me. Al Yankovic I would say I'm pretty much the exact same as the stereotypical American kid. I mean I'm really lazy, I play a lot of video games, I like girls. I like, you know, the violence and action type thing. Callan McAuliffe I feel I grew up in a different century than I live in. I think most of them are changes for the good. John McGahern For both faith and want of faith have destroyed men alike. Hesiod I can't believe that I'm on the Olympic team. Amnat Ruenroeng A CCR Headcleaner show will blow your mind. Ty Segall The breadth of the potential readership is also a factor. Mark Millar Kubrick ate it up. He loved it. He just let me go crazy. R.

as a writer, from having an original story. Roberto Orci I am drawn to characters that go on journeys, characters that are real people, that have life.

making the Internet work better and all those things. And small groups of people can have a really huge impact. Larry Page The thing about Vegas is, I don't have to fly anywhere, and that really helps. It means I stay in one place for three weeks at a time instead of flying backwards and forwards.

every San Franciscan does when he gets there. He looks around and says, 'It ain't bad, but it ain't San Francisco.' Herb Caen To be physically fit is just a small aspect.

almost right after or like maybe six or seven months after I had my son and actually auditioned for the Regina King part and they just were like, 'No, you're just - you just don't really seem the part.' Nia Long My own training is in the field of neuroendocrinology and I really became very fascinated many years ago with the molecules of emotion, molecules that we call neuropeptides. Deepak Chopra Absolutely. I - you know, he was so that much a part of my life that, you know, Elvis, you know, once - once you bonded with him, I mean, there was no - there was no going back. He was just a great guy. Priscilla Presley I'll do almost anything for cake - even trample little children! Gayle King I don't really go for the swagger thing too much.

Josh Hutcherson Most of the Catholics Christians I've met would for all practical purposes believe Jesus is God only, and we are human only. We missed the big point. The point is the integration, both in Jesus and ourselves. Richard Rohr I often say fame is kind of like a drug or like sugar: when it's controlling you it doesn't feel good at all. K. D. Lang He has your finger, but I have your heart. Brian Celio But despite the challenges, I love being your Mayor. Laura Miller I think great art is always ambiguous and can't be pinned down.

Alicia Keys Judgment is a delicate thing and does not come overnight. Peter Woo

ones. I finally realized that we don't have many dreams for adults because, historically, people have always died much younger than they do today. Jack Gilbert Nicolas Sarkozy said he could see a wave rising. For once he was right. The wave's coming; it's high, its strong, and it's going to smack him in the face.

them as large collections of people. It's essentially self-interested on the part of authority. Tom Stoppard We designed both our state employee health plans and the one we created for low-income Hoosiers as Health Savings Accounts, and now in the tens of thousands these citizens are proving that they are fully capable of making smart, consumerist choices about their own health care.

transcendent beauty and poetry of the mediaeval churches. Goldwin Smith Early on my career, I figured out that I just have to write the book I have to write at that moment. Whatever else is going on in the culture is just not that important. If you could get the culture to write your book, that would be great. But the culture can't write your book. Colson Whitehead I have this ability to find this hidden talent in people that sometimes even they didn't know they had.

outside. So we are comfortable, but the people I'm writing about are definitely not comfortable, and being shot while they're still inside is a good possibility. Octavia Butler If you have two steaks, one that's an inch thick, one that's 2 inches thick, how much longer does the thicker one need to cook? It's four times as long. It goes roughly like the square. How come cookbooks don't tell you that? Nathan Myhrvold If I was in charge, I'd keep doing The Go-Go's forever, but it's a band, so everyone has their say. Jane Wiedlin The worst thing about touring is the travel. Kerry King And I love Evander Holyfield to death! Ray Lewis For sure I would be a very emotional captain. A very hands-on captain.

Claire Messud You'd think I'd have been happiest in my life playing music in front of 50,000 people at Gillette Stadium. But let me tell you, it's an odd feeling to feel alone in the spotlight.

John Connolly I can really fish - I've been fishing since I was a kid. Deion Sanders The world is chaos. Nothingness is the yet-to-be-born god of the world. Georg Buchner No battle plan survives contact with the enemy. Colin Powell Message matters. Message m

big deal for me. Respectable in the sense that I support my family. That's what I mean by respectability. Hanif Kureishi Well I was an asthmatic child. So that for most of my childhood I was in bed. Bedridden. Gerald Scarfe I write slowly by hand. Publishing is effectively bankrupt for you unless you are Danielle Steele. It takes a year to write book and advances are going down or disappearing. Erica Jong I hope I'm still shooting when I'm 80. Conrad Hall As far back as I can remember though, I always loved performing. Victoria Justice Well, we had more money and more time the first season than we did at TV 23. Joel Hodgson To do what you love can sometimes be stressful. Toni Braxton I am very domesticated. I find I really enjoy it. Samantha Fox I love any opportunity I have to make music. Barry Manilow Good ideas are often murdered by better ones. Roddy Doyle

days when you actually did get paid to have a supporting role. It just doesn't happen like that anymore, but this was in the '90s. It was the golden age! Carrie Preston Preacher is a book that somehow allows me time by its settling on it's characters, that sort of modern gothic western feel. You're not likely to see the boat veering too far from that. Garth Ennis In the face of technology, everything becomes a little atavistic. Don DeLillo The speed of change makes you wonder what will become of architecture. Tadao Ando 'Game of Thrones' is just incredible, what they pull off every week. Rian Johnson I learned no detail was too small. It was all about the details.

the sidelines and I hear the things parents are saying, so I want them to understand what it is their kids are feeling in any sports environment. Brandi Chastain You should always leave the party 10 minutes before you actually do. Gary Larson The Beltway media went into caroming-off-the-walls hysterics over Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, whipping itself into a flaming casserole even as Clinton's standing with the American people remained upright and firm, so to speak. James Wolcott The evolution of sex is the hardest problem in evolutionary biology. John Maynard Smith The Doors were never that good as musicians. Ray Manzarek If I get angry, it's obvious.

I've always had to tease it out, squeeze it out. Dorothy Fields The love of gardening is a seed o

read a lot and write a lot. There's no way around these two things that I'm aware of, no shortcut. Stephen King I hope that I can get people to read it without having to change it. Especially now that the strip has more different kinds of characters. It's really not all lesbians any more.

Harlan Coben People have to stop employing illegal immigrants. Hillary Clinton I am frivolous. Then I feel guilty. Catherine Deneuve Greed, like the love of comfort, is a kind of fear.

Emm Gryner I personally love sportswear, and love using it in high fashion. Stella McCartney I try not to worry about things that I can

don't want to swim past age 30; if I continue after this Olympics, and come back in 2016, I'll be 31. I'm looking forward to being able to see the other side of the fence. Michael Phelps As an athlete, you choose your sport and are drawn into it but your passion should never be driven by fame and fortune but a desire to create something special that people will always remember. Katarina Witt Computers and electronic music are not the opposite of the warm human music. It's exactly the same. Bill Laswell Religion is the last refuge of human savagery. Alfred North Whitehead I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well. Alexander the Great Life is definitely always about expanding. That's how we grow. Jessica Simpson Salary stories are intrusive. Do you ask your neighbour what they earn for their job? Nicole Kidman I need to keep working on myself for a while. Eminem This Divine truth flows into heaven from the Lord fr

out so that they have little quality emotion and energy left for their children, much less their husbands. Laura Schlessinger We need more people speaking out. This country is not overrun with rebels and free thinkers. It's overrun with sheep and conformists. Bill Maher Every couple needs glue to stay together. Like all marriages, I suspect, if you're busy you don't see it coming until you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. It's a bit like going broke. It happens slowly and then very quickly.

He can't conceive of a world where social status or getting laid or, for that matter, doing drugs, is not the most important thing. Marc Andreessen Our policy for the last many years has been to deter the Chinese government in Beijing from ever coming into the position where they thought they had enough leverage over the U.S. to cross the Straits of Taiwan.

I've got an electronic set sitting in my bedroom. Gary Cole My personal philosoph

I'm everybody's child. Nobody raised me; I was raised in this society. Tupac Shakur I guess you can stay sort of true to the story; you don't have to artificially bring the character back from whatever doom you've designed for them, you can tell the story, I suppose, honestly. Garth Ennis I was taken by the romanticism of being thought of as an adult and living in a world that was completely new to me. I fell in love with acting then.

Eli Manning Well, my favorite roles so far are Lucas and Lost Boys. Corey Haim I play the keyboard, piano - I like making beats. Abbie Cornish And the Buddha is the person who's free: free of plans, free of cares. Bodhidharma Being married, I would say most relationships are pretty codependent in some ways. Rene Russo The drug or cult has major if

a lot of fans out in the dark and having to trawl the Internet for bits and pieces of news that relate to these events. Emmett Shear Whoever sets any bounds for the reconstructive power of the religious life over the social relations and institutions of men, to that extent denies the faith of the Master. Walter Rauschenbusch Once I was walking from The Mercer in New York - because otherwise I don't walk anywhere - and this woman paparazzo who was following me fell over a fire hydrant and her whole tooth went through her lip. I leant over her, saying, 'Are you all right?' and she was still taking pictures. Kate Moss I think a lot of making art is listening to yourself. Kiki Smith I get a lot of independent films from people who are starting out. Loretta Devine No one wants to see a boring tube sock. Rob Kardashian A movie star is not an artist, he is an art object. Richard Schickel Pixies and Sonic Youth were so important to the eighties. David Bowie

lot of clowning around, buffoonery and fencing. It was then that my own style kind of blossomed. Orla Brady I feel like I'm going backwards, actually, as I get older. I'm regressing. I feel more and more like a kid, which is kind of a fun feeling. Rachel McAdams To get a child's trust - you may know or not - is a very hard thing to do. They're so used to not believing adults - because adults tell tales and lies all the time. Maurice Sendak Design my own line? No, I just like the culture.

James Sinegal A brave mind is always impregnable. Jeremy Collier I don't get tired of hearing that somebody liked my work. Mary-Louise Parker

the physical part. It appeals to the part of me that likes playing character parts and getting the chance to get away from my own physicality. Helena Bonham Carter Whether they run a record company or a grocery store, every boss will tell you you're in big trouble if you're borrowing more than you can ever afford to pay back. Delaying the pain for future generations is suicidal. We've got to start getting the deficit down right now, not next year. Simon Cowell When they searched my car, they said that they found a gasoline canister and I think duct tape. Who wouldn't have a gasoline canister on them when driving 3,000 miles across country?

Catherine McCormack I don't want to be known as a jerk forever. Seann William Scott I asked the question, 'Will I ever perform again?' Brian Har

Todd Haynes I'm sorry, man, but I've got magic. I've got poetry in my fingertips. Most of the time - and this includes naps - I'm an F-18, bro. And I will destroy you in the air. I will deploy my ordinance to the ground. Charlie Sheen My book sales make 'real writers' possible. Jennifer Weiner Telephone operators have called me 'sir' since I was 6. Suzanne Pleshette They just wanted to show the entertainment world that we're vulnerable. Tommy Chong It's superfun being a mom, but it's hard too. Gwen Stefani I love a bit of drama.

Kyra Sedgwick It is difficult to see why lace should be so expensive; it is mostly holes. Mary Wilson Little

I think I got too comfortable with, and I dove into my black-bottomed pool and hit the slope from the shallow end to the deep end. And I had a chin to chest paralyzing break.

in their rhythm and go fund tech companies, and tech companies will go create jobs and employ a lot of people, so there's that aspect of Wall Street. Daymond John I feel beautiful when I'm at peace with myself. When I'm serene, when I'm a good person, when I've been considerate of others. Elle Macpherson I've made records that everyone has hated and I've loved, and made records that everyone has loved and I've deemed, at best, mediocre.

Nadine Labaki I consider myself to have one of the greatest voices in the industry. Lady Gaga

marketplace isn't a healthy thing for me. Mary Karr There's really no way to be perfect. Perfectionism is a silly trait to have, so in a lot of ways that inspired the world of 'Divergent,' in which everyone is striving toward that ideal and falling short of it. Veronica Roth There's so much importance in honoring your everyday hero. It doesn't take money. It doesn't take connections. What matters is that people get involved.

a very slow thinker, but I do care about thinking, and the only way I know how to think with any kind of finesse is by telling stories. Gregory Maguire That's the biggest problem with boxing in the United States. They do not promote it like they used to, when it used to be Howard Cosell and they showed it on 'Wide World of Sports.' Everybody knew all the fighters. Everybody was looking forward to the year when the Olympics came on. Evander Holyfield I'm worried about looking like a bad person when, in fact, I try to be a good person. I don't like the public image that I've been dressed with and it worries me. Rachel Johnson I love proving people wrong. Ed Belfour I'd like to cut down on the work a little bit. James Brown Glamour is about feeling good in your own skin. Zoe Saldana If you're in a hit movie, it's good to be in another hit movie straight away. Val Kilmer Hairpieces are brilliant for adding volume. Alexandra Roach

I don't think I'll ever perfect, but I love the challenge of it.

Carlos Slim Things happening around the world are affecting you and me. Fareed Zakaria

respectful guy I knew. And we got to be pretty good friends. He didn't suffer fools gladly. I guess he didn't think I was a fool. Nolan Bushnell It is absolutely impossible to settle the debts to pensioners, teachers, and others. The country hasn't got enough money to do so. Eduard Shevardnadze Kids don't talk like adults, but kids on the spectrum don't necessarily fall into the same patterns of speaking or have the same interests as other kids their age. Claire Scovell LaZebnik I fall in love every day. Not with people but with situations. Amy Winehouse I didn't feel so great when I was a teenager, but who does?

Polly Berrien Berends Enjoy your food, enjoy your life. Victoria Moran Politicians often claim secrecy is necessary for good governance or national security.

and a person who would give themselves away was what I thought was going to be difficult. I was little scared of such a challenge. Piper Perabo Maybe I am a jerk sometimes. Maybe I'm not.

And I don't think you need a scandal to have an interesting story. Faith Hill My first attempt at a kiss was in fifth grade, but it didn't go so well. Later, I used Boyz II Men and Jodeci songs to come on to girls. I had more success. John Legend What I end up shooting is the situation. I shoot the composition and my subject is going to help the composition or not. Annie Leibovitz My family had liberal positions.

Lara Stone Truth uncompromisingly told will always have its ragged edges. Herman Melville He is a very humble man, that thinks not himself better than some others.

that commissioned it and stand as a social good. Besides, modernism rather than classicism has dominated the architecture of totalitarian regimes of both the left and right. Leon Krier The US military still blames the media for stories and images that turned the American public against the war in Vietnam. Bruce Jackson My son had his eighth birthday recently and we had a chance to borrow the film and show it to all of his friends that was at his birthday party and they loved it.

Rebecca Solnit Men acquiesce in a thousand things, once righteously and boldly done, to which, if proposed to them in advance, they might find endless objections.

week. It's about 45 minutes round-trip with a variation of super steep hills and flat areas. He's always running ahead, which helps me push myself, especially up the hills. Ana Ortiz I like a well-roasted rotisserie chicken and eggs cooked various ways, like sunny-side up or scrambled. It's comfort food for me. Joel Robuchon We have more voices from more points of view on the C-SPAN call-in show than I've heard anywhere else. You can literally tune us in every day and hear it all.
