homes and offices, and Congressional offices should not be treated any differently. There cannot be one set of rules for elected officials and another set of rules for everyone else. Bobby Jindal A great deal of energy is wasted in hating people, and I can honestly say I've no wish to expend such a precious resource on being outraged about anyone. Kevin McCloud I am as hungry now as I was when I began in the sport. If anything, I am probably a bit hungrier. It is because I know there are fewer tomorrows than yesterdays. Allen Johnson As long as I have a good time, the audience usually has a good time. Reggie Watts I think you create your own hipness. Peabo Bryson Never let your persistence and passion turn into stubbornness and ignorance. Anthony J. D'Angelo

But the business has changed a lot - the methods of releasing music. Anthony Kiedis What basically happens is your hormones get out of whack. Because of the stress in your life your body says, 'I need more hormones.' So, your hormones are trying to produce and produce and produce, and it's even more stressful and it is this wicked cycle.

billion for childcare over five years in welfare reform. Jim Wallis I consulted a Chinese herbalist and spent two weeks on an island off the coast of Zanzibar. I was away from any kind of contemporary technology. Francesca Annis The problem with Mr. Obama is that you get more regulation and it's a disincentive for businessmen to hire people. You probably also get higher taxes, so in terms of the economy, he is very negative in my view. Marc Faber Being a parent is very important to me. Diana Ross Beef is beef, you know. Beef comes, so Beef is real. Obie Trice It is good that war is so horrible, or we might grow to like it. Robert E. Lee Like most authors, I also love to read. Aprilynne Pike Tennis is so competitive. I guess that's the way it has to be. Monica Seles I'm only going to be the way I'd want someone to react to me. Johnny Ramone I am hoping for a long career. Zoe Saldana

victims of an unrighteous order. George Jackson I'm learning the power of going away for the weekend and keeping myself company. Zoe Saldana I was with somebody else at the time, who I left - one, because I didn't really want to be with that person, and two, because I felt I'd had so much tragedy I needed to go off, go crazy, and maybe live on the outside for a while. Rose McGowan I like having my cellphone. I like the Internet. I like being different. Dita Von Teese I have been drawing all my life. Dick Bruna Philanthropy is activism.

with those who have an honest patriotic desire for more progress and reform. Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa With fame, you know, you can read about yourself, somebody else's ideas about you, but what's important is how you feel about yourself - for survival and living day to day with what comes up. Marilyn Monroe I felt a little green, because Shakespeare writes the thought process within the text; it was tricky not to think of what to say and then say it, and instead just deliver the lines. Neil Patrick Harris I feel my best when I'm happy. Winona Ryder Joyce is a poet and also an elephantine pedant. George Orwell Then in college I became obsessed with film, and wanted to be part of that. Christopher Durang TV has lost a lot of its self-confidence as its power has been eroded by the internet.

the whole idea that whatever it is that you believe, it can never be valid unless you have some consensus reality demonstration. Todd Rundgren Sometime during the many millions of years that have elapsed since mammalian faunas came into existence, some sort of island crossed from West Africa to South America. Louis Leakey The reason given by the President in asking Congress to declare war against Germany is that the German government has declared certain war zones, within which, by the use of submarines, she sinks, without notice, American ships and destroys American lives. George William Norris When you consider all the stars I have managed, mere submarines make me smile. Charles Frohman I believe we all must face the fact of death. It is both gift and curse. Richard Lamm I'll admit I wanted to be a pilot, originally. Kent McCord I like working with fish, so naturally I like seafood. Roy Yamaguchi I used to read Gore Vidal books and think I was cool. Matt Smi...

This is what happens when you're in your thirties: what was once a passion and real appetite for nightlife in New York City manifests itself into other things, like entertaining at home. Carson Daly Organizations spend hundreds of hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars installing and implementing huge servers, new Web sites and applications. They have to continue to do that, but they also have to clean up the mess of the '90s. Marc Andreessen There's a long record here of being wrong. There's a good reason for it. There are probably multiple reasons. Certainly proliferation is a hard thing to track, particularly in countries that deny easy and free access and don't have free and open societies. David Kay I didn't have a normal childhood by any means. Tre Cool The Christian ethic played an essential part in my upbringing. David Rockefeller I'm not going to run away from my responsibilities. Carlos Mesa I really try to put myself in uncom...

remember who he is. The frustration angle is written in, but there's also this incredible passive state. Tom Berenger Zoroastrianism is about the opposition of good and evil. For the triumph of good, we have to make a choice. We can enlist on the side of good by prospering, making money and using our wealth to help others. Rohinton Mistry I grew up watching movies and television, and one day when I was really young I told my mom I wanted to become an actor, and she was really supportive and got me involved in local theater and commercials. From there I moved up to auditioning for movies and television. Cameron Monaghan The Spring I seek is in a new face only. Allen Tate I have been in love, and in debt, and in drink, this many and many a year. Alexander Brome Souls are designed to fit inside a body. Alex Chiu Yeah, I've had the privilege to know a lot of really talented people. Ashley Judd With pride, there are many curses. With humility, there come many bl...

others without envy - this is painful for an individual and painful for a nation. Gustav Stresemann I go from pub to pub, or jumping on buses or stopping cars. I don't need a TV audience. Every time I go naked, all of a sudden TV cameras pop up around me. Mark Roberts The scientific imagination always restrains itself within the limits of probability. Thomas Huxley I find it too terrifying to go out in L.A. George Michael I am a committed European; a united Europe is Romania's future.

I just got to a point where I realized I could be as personal as I wanted to be and people could relate to those situations if they so choose. Chantal Kreviazuk The loyalty rate isn't that high. I could have a big hit, then put out the next single, and they say, Oh yeah, who are you? Prove it again. Lenny Kravitz If we try to engineer outcomes, if we overturn tradition to make everyone the same, we ruin society. If we upset tradition to allow for an equal shot at the starting gate, everyone wins, except for the charlatans and would be dictators. Ben Stein I still have a spiritual base and a spiritual foundation. Katy Perry Eventually, the nerds and the geeks will have their day. Judd Apatow You can't be funny if you don't have good material.

Giulio Andreotti Any manager can do well in an expanding market. W. Edwards Deming

poets, I mean there never existed a more worthless set than Byron and his friends for example. Arthur Wellesley It is a great compliment to go out and be recognized. Although, because I basically go home and go to work, there isn't much opportunity for that kind of thing to happen.

It's just not cool. Felix Baumgartner Ignorance, hatred and greed are killing nature. Masanobu Fukuoka

nothing glamorous about it. You had great things one day and the next day, nothing. Sally Field I love Snoop. I worked with him on 'Old School,' and he's very accessible. He's very kind. He's always nice to everyone, to the crew. He's always got something positive to say. He's very childlike and loves to come and play. So, I had fun working with him.

Donella Meadows Panic is a horrible thing. Jaclyn Smith Confine yourself to the present. Marcus Aurelius

'Saturday Night Fever,' Brian De Palma, handsome young god... he, in reality, is a very silly man. And I mean that in a good way. He'll walk around the set talking in little weird voices, making people laugh. Eric Stoltz The best thing ever is when some guy in his 50s taps me on the shoulder and says, 'I just want to let you know I hate my job, I hate my wife, and I come home and I watch reruns of your show and it's the only half hour of the day when I laugh and I forget how miserable life is.'

you look like right now - and remember I said it 10 years from now because it's the greatest gift I can give.' Jennifer Love Hewitt If there is an audience out there for me, I want them to be surprised when the next book comes out. Stewart O'Nan I don't believe in hitting a bad shot and then insisting it's no big deal. No, you just messed up, so react. I'm not saying you need to throw your club. I mean, take 10 seconds to get angry at yourself, but then start over. Camilo Villegas War is over if you want it. Yoko Ono It's not very fun to do spectroscopy.

proud of that. But I've always felt that I was more than one-dimensional. Norman Schwarzkopf I like the term 'misunderstood.' But I am a bit of a bad boy. Zayn Malik He had Parkinson's disease for about, I'd say diagnosed for about 11 of the last years of his life. And treatment was not as good as it is now, of course.

David Hockney I can't think of any more powerful moment than when you stand on a stage. Irving Azoff I know my father and my mother, but beyond that I cannot go. My ancestry is blurred. V. S.

a trapeze artist, and that was my dream. We just traveled the whole world, me and my mom and my little brothers and sisters. It was an adventure.

in it for the money. William Blake - only his first book was legitimately published. Jim Jarmusch We don't have the capability today to put a human being in space of any kind, shape or form, which is absolutely, totally unacceptable when we got the greatest flying machine in the world sitting down at Kennedy in a garage there with nothing to do. Eugene Cernan Sometimes you look at a movie and you can see that the actor or actress said, 'I'm taking this onboard because I'm making a ton of money, and not because it's going to be something special.'

of the innocent. Islam also accepts the Prophets, whether those prophets are Mohammed, God's peace and blessing be upon Him, or Moses or the other prophets of the Books. Abdullah of Saudi Arabia I felt that the biological clock was some myth to keep me from doing what I wanted to do. And so I rebelled against it in the '90s. I thought it was a backlasher, some sort of faulty data. But it's real. I'm glad I woke up before my body was just like 'uh-uh.' Lili Taylor It's too bad prayer comes bundled in a package of 'spiritual disciplines.' Really, we should see prayer as a spiritual privilege. We don't do it as a callisthenic exercise to gain points with God; we do it, because it is good for us in every way. Philip Yancey I've got a lot of favorite golfers. Deron Williams It doesn't make sense that there is only one way of dealing with cancer. Hayley Mills To try to correct imbalances with trade restrictions is a grave error. ...

Internet held any promise. And of course I felt that it did. Jim Clark The genomics revolution, proteomics, metabolomics, all of these 'omics' that sound so terrific on grants and on business plans. What we're doing is we are seizing control of our evolutionary future. I mean we're essentially using technology to just jam evolution into fast-forward. Gregory Stock I'm learning with the older that I get that some feelings are just universal and that I'm not the only one who hates their hair or their life at times. Brie Larson You wouldn't know it but I'm no good at... cooking. My chef does that. Carolina Herrera There are evil people, and I don't even want to hear those guys speak.

with trying to inject a role with more truth than the writer possibly had in mind. Judy Davis I can't tell you how scary it can be walking onto a movie and suddenly joining this family, it's like going to somebody else's Christmas dinner, everyone knows everyone, and you're there and you're not quite sure what you're supposed to be doing. John Cleese If a hundred people want autographs, sometimes you have to say no because you've got to get up for a 4 A.M. flight or something. In that sense, it really pisses me off when people think you've become a diva. It's not becoming a diva, it's because of the situation, I think. Ellie Goulding I believe in singing. Brian Eno I told the students that whatever they did in class was for the wastebasket. Imogen Cunningham Plastic bags are bad and for the most part unnecessary. David Suzuki Modelling is a silly, crazy business. Helena Christensen It's nice to just be a kid and hang out ...

was born of a virgin, I cannot think that this proves the divinity of his father or the truth of his teachings. The same would be true if I accepted that he had been resurrected. Christopher Hitchens I'm the old-fashioned type who prefers to meet a woman in a more normal setting. I don't like to feel that I'm being hunted down. I've always liked to do my own hunting when it comes to meeting women. George Clooney I spend a lot of time talking to young and emerging producers on Twitter, feeding back thoughts and encouraging them. Tiesto I need to go play football.

of production where everyone and his uncle has an opinion about how to fix a show, you must pick the people whose knowledge and taste you trust and stick only to these few. The Tweetocracy is no place to look. John Lahr Well, people fall in love with the wrong guy all the time, it doesn't make them bad people. Laurie Holden The way I look at it, movies are a different medium for storytelling than books. Josh Hutcherson My mother left me for seven years in an orphanage. Vidal Sassoon I tell people, 'I have a Ph.D. from Google University.' Kris Carr The most boring scenes are the scenes where a character is alone. Chuck Palahniuk I think God gave us senses of humor, and we should use them. Vera Farmiga I love both my parents dearly. Kevin Eubanks There is no recipe to be a great teacher, that's what is unique about them. Robert Sternberg I am all right when I work. I am not superficial and I am not ungrateful. Brigitte Bardot

it before. If I read something and think, Wow, I can't play this part, then I want to play it more. Linda Fiorentino I'm sure some people will say, 'Why do this?' And my response is, 'Why wouldn't you?' The film business in general is using a model that is outdated and, worse than that, inefficient. Steven Soderbergh I love music, and I loved dance music immediately. So I bought some equipment and started making my own. When I started this, I didn't say, 'okay I'm going to do this step and then this step' to become popular. I just created music that I loved.

in sense perception as bodily processes, and accordingly form part of that total environment which we name the external world.

Penn Badgley I'm a child of the sixties, I'm a man of the sixties. During that period of time this country was coming apart at the seams. We were in Southeast Asia.

Andrea Bocelli Yeah, I probably got in too much trouble as a youth to be a politician. Michael Joseph Kelly I love Johnny Cash but I don't love country music that much.

in this life is my ability to tell a story, whether in print, orating, writing it down or having people acting it out. Kevin Smith There are a lot of people who write very intensely about things they do not and cannot do. Theodore Sturgeon You know, Stephen says, in the movies no one ever goes to the bathroom. They shave, they brush their teeth. He goes right at this sort of funny taboo we have about the bathroom, and he turned it into this nightmare, you know, your worst fear of what's in there. Lawrence Kasdan As long as it says Metallica on the record it's Metallica. Lars Ulrich I am an obsessive flyer, myself. Jason Reitman I think anything sounds good with a Southern accent.

launched one of the inaugural applications on the platform in May 2007. Joe Green When I was coming up, I kept a ton of comic books, almost 300 comic books. Back in the day, they didn't used to cost that much, so I used to keep 'em, collect 'em, trade 'em. Michael Clarke Duncan For the most part, I have a very manageable celebrity.

Sellapan Ramanathan To my great surprise and pleasure, I have had dinner with most of the people living with whom I would like to have dinner.

Ang Lee If I fall, I fall. I'll rise up like anybody else. Ben Harper You can't direct without a good crew. Louis C. K. As a reader, I happen to like turning pages and wanting to know what happens next. Tracy Chevalier Maybe Obama was not even the person he was waiting for. Maureen Dowd I'm going to let God be the judge of who goes to heaven and hell. Joel Osteen Baseball is more than a game. It's like life played out on a field. Juliana Hatfield

stories without me. We're tied together forever. This is a day to remember for the rest of our lives. Michael Irvin I don't necessarily find superheroes in general, for me, that appealing. I'd much prefer to play, if I was to be cast in a superhero film, I'd prefer to play the villain because there's a reason, there's a motive behind their madness. Ryan Kwanten The office is a romantic enabler because you're always around the person you have a crush on.

Joshua Ferris I don't know anything about the history of music. Sia Big money is ruining the political system. Arlen Specter As far as I know, the guys at Pixar are opposed to a Monsters, Inc. sequel. John Goodman It is going to take a very brave man to love me.

will be built into all the televisions. Reed Hastings I love reading. I'm fortunate enough to have signed books by Faulkner, Steinbeck, Thomas Pynchon.

week and know that it's going to be the same thing.

Roger Ebert I hope that people like us next year like they liked us last year. Ethan Suplee

only seen the Holy Grail, but you've embraced it. Basically, I do what a lot of people do, but I've been able to win. Mike Krzyzewski I think the journey for a politician goes from wanting to please all the people all the time, to a political leader that realises in the end his responsibility is to decide. And when he decides, he divides. Tony Blair I don't care if you're a Republican or a Democrat, there is something profoundly un-American about using the brute force of government to bully someone. Rand Paul I'm a good friend. Jack Nicholson This is our bottom line, and the will of 1.25 billion Chinese people. Zhu Rongji The thing about inspiration is that it takes your mind off everything else. Vikram Seth In the end, we lost IndoChina to the communists. But we did not lose Southeast Asia. William Westmoreland Sweat, sweat, sweat! Work and sweat, cry and sweat, pray and sweat! Zora Neale Hurston It's hard to compare actors from differen...

see failing companies, he sees innovation worth subsidizing. Where we see the need for economic growth, he sees a need for higher taxes. Reince Priebus It's a good question, because a movie isn't good or bad based on its politics. It's usually good or bad for other reasons, though you might agree or disagree with its politics. Roger Ebert A dark and terrible side of this sense of community of interests is the fear of a horrible common destiny which in these days of atomic weapons darkens men's minds all around the globe.

being a sneaker head, I do like it when a girl can rock a nice pair of sneakers. Not every girl can do it.

Curt Schilling There is nothing in the world that I loathe more than group activity, that communal bath where the hairy and slippery mix in a multiplication of mediocrity.

who sign the appeal, of the necessity for carrying on propaganda; so a corps of propagandists, if I may use the term, is thus trained. Fredrik Bajer You know growing up in Sweden meant we had a lot of rain when we played tennis. We were taught on clay courts but because of the weather, we had to go indoors a lot. Bjorn Borg I think A Midsummer Night's Dream would be terrific because of the transformations that occur. Or The Tempest, things like that. Extraordinary larger than life or supernatural element.

it as a television program here called Come Dancing, which is not as rude as it sounds.

years old to today. I'm not really good, but in time I could be. I'm more of a singer than anything. Tommy Davidson My first full year of touring, I did 300 days on the road. That was not including the travel time or publicity or anything else - that was just dates. I was home probably less than 50 days that year.

Bills are referred. Private Bills deal with specific individuals, corporations, institutions, and so forth, as distinguished from public bills which deal with classes only.

great needs of mankind, that all men may be lifted up into the light of the highest Christian civilization, are, first, a pure, spiritual Christianity, and second, civil liberty. Josiah Strong I don't want a girl who's high-maintenance and wants to go shopping... I like a girl who doesn't wear make-up and is naturally beautiful. Sean Faris We're giving our freedoms away.

Dino De Laurentiis When I was four or five, I would organise my cars and my action figures. I needed some kind of structure, I think. Alexander Skarsgard I'm not a pop song lyric writer.

Jonathan Kozol The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion. Alexander Graham Bell If you move between battalions, you are still within the same tribe. Mike Jackson If fate means you to lose, give him a good fight anyhow. William McFee I've been too many places. I'm like the bad penny. Jack Nicholson I love Poseidon.

have their characters be assailed without any basis. Eric Holder Just the fact that I'm in the game is great. I'm just blessed to be working. I got a plan, but I'm humble and I try to be humble.

Tom Hanks I don't feel I'm playing villains all the time. Ralph Fiennes With 'The Tudors,' I had a huge amount of material, I mean so many books and so much stuff about what they really said. So, in a way it was kind of trying to strip it out and find the stories inside all this material. Michael Hirst Americans count on the guaranteed benefits they paid for under Medicare. John B. Larson If you want to investigate, we will be willing to assist. Zhu Rongji Your thoughts and emotions are yours alone. John Buchanan Robinson I'm really domestic.

formed by a group of courageous and dedicated people who came out in the defense of the workers' rights and dignity. Lech Walesa I will not do work that isn't done well or right.

set of parents. Or fantasize no parents. They don't tell their real parents about that - you don't want to tell Mom and Dad. Maurice Sendak For me, peace should provide security to the Jewish people.

you don't see those behind the walls. That is the reality of Haiti. Jean-Bertrand Aristide You need a great idea, but then you've got to carry it through. If you get it right, you're going to be a critical success. But not everyone who works hard gets it right, or has the success they deserve: there's an element of luck.

Heather Morris Today I trust my instinct, I trust myself. Finally. Isabelle Adjani I usually like whatever I've recently finished...

a conversation at one point or another. I think that the mental trick of holding two sides of a conversation in your head is actually something that we all do. Edward Norton I don't like anything about Drake. DMX Innovation is hard. It really is. Because most people don't get it.

decided to try a TV show to reach as many of my fans as possible.

going through the whole ordeal... coming pretty close to death, may have affected my priorities.

Lesley Gore Blues are the songs of despair, but gospel songs are the songs of hope. Mahalia Jackson I'm a victim of maybe circumstances, but look at how it worked out.

material about. On the other hand, if you have a family it can be depressing. Carl Hiaasen I'm not so facile that I can accomplish or find out what I want to know or explore enough of the possibilities and a way of making a painting, say, in just one painting or two paintings. Robert Rauschenberg I've been trying to watch my weight a bit, but when I come to Las Vegas, all bets are off. I get enough healthy food in L.A. where the food is the size of a quarter and costs $40 - when I'm in Vegas, I want a steak! Billy Gardell I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit.

It's not about having a black president, it's about having a good president, and I think that's the most important thing. Allen West I read the 'Deadpool' series back in the '90s. I'm not, like, a huge comic book reader, per say, though. I'll check out 'Archie' when I'm in the grocery line, but that's about it. Ryan Reynolds My last boyfriend used to always tell me, 'Grow up.' But I say, Why? Nicole Miller I'm a nice, happily married wife and mom and I live in Connecticut. Christine Baranski One person really can make a difference.

in homestores can be pricey so pay a visit to your local hardware store and pick up a few paint brushes which are less expensive and work equally as well. Bobby Flay I knew if I stayed in London my whole life would be dancing. I'd won almost every major title you can. I thought 'This really isn't my passion.

average, $11,000 less than their urban counterparts each year. And they are more likely to live in poverty.

a bag worn with the use of money has more beautiful proportions than a vine filled with grapes. William Blake I think that if writers don't speak about real life, it's because they don't know it. Michel Houellebecq Twitter is the ultimate service for the mobile age - its simplification and constraint of the publishing medium to 140 characters is perfectly complementary to a mobile experience. People still need longer stuff, but they see the headline on Twitter or Facebook. Matt Mullenweg The Holocaust movie is almost a genre in itself these days.
