I like the idea of going to the cinema and then an Italian restaurant.

and an idea and write as a process of discovery. Like working without a net. Jerry B. Jenkins When people express what is most important to them, it often comes out in cliches.

Jack Adams I know I'm as comfortable doing period as I am contemporary. I suppose we grow up with it in a sense, in the theater.

Tadao Ando In a country of such recent civilization as ours, whose almost limitless treasures of material wealth invite the risks of capital and the industry of labor, it is but natural that material interests should absorb the attention of the people to a degree elsewhere unknown.

It requires time away from people and time away from the constant need to communicate and to connect.

Ang Lee I want to give people a taste of the Caribbean, and show them t

a stand and playing Bach over and over again. Andrew Bird Give me the new thing and give it to me now. I don't want that old thing - I've seen it, heard it, bought it, slept with it, loved it, but now I'm bored with the old thing and I'm gagging for the new stuff. Arthur Smith Like Godfather, you look at a movie like that, or something that James Gray has directed, a film with minimal or pin lighting as opposed to everything being lit bright and flat, where everything is evident.

Lenny Kravitz Couldn't start the morning without caffeine. Ginnifer Goodwin In my view, the operas of Carlisle Floyd will find a place in the per

light in them. Fixed emotions. Blind worship. Horror. It makes me think of what happened to us long ago. Boris Becker I believe deeply in therapy. There's no one in the world who wouldn't benefit from it. Antony Sher Too often, the opportunity knocks, but by the time you push back the chain, push back the bolt, unhook the two locks and shut off the burglar alarm, it's too late. Rita Coolidge I was definitely the oddball freak show in school. James St. James I feel like I'm more of a physical actor than a voice actor.

Michelle Obama I'm always excited by the unlikely, never by ordinary things. David Hockney Part of being young is making mistakes. Nikki Reed I mean, I was first offered Princess Astra. Lalla Ward

which I've done all my life, and not to be able to phrase lyrics and give people that kind of joy, I think I would be totally devastated. Barbara Walters A robot-arm in a factory doesn't decide minute by minute whether to rivet or revolt - it just does the job is has literally been trained to do. It's if and when we build a conscious robot that we may have to worry. Daniel H. Wilson You can go to college when you are 30 or 40. Shia LaBeouf To me the bottom line is: good music is good music. Dave Haywood Of all the artists on Death Row, none of them went bankrupt. Suge Knight Not really interested in covering other bands songs to be honest. Michael Reed I put a lot of pressure on myself, but I also have what I call an X-factor. Amy Weber Today is a new day for the land. Antonis Samaras Disco is just pop music you can dance to. Sheena Easton I don't just wanna be James Franco's little brother. Dave Franco

a good night out, quite cheaply without all that bother of having to go somewhere else. Timothy West When I believe in something, I'm very passionate. I don't take 'no' for an answer. Jada Pinkett Smith One of the great things about Sydney is that it has a great acceptance of everyone and everything. It's an incredibly tolerant city, a city with a huge multicultural basis.

Carnie Wilson I have spent my whole life educating myself. Penelope Wilton Every side of a coin has another side. Myron Scholes Sports without music, it's nothing but a game. Music adds the emotion. Ice Cube I'd sit on a horse and forget I was even sick. Ann Romney

voice then you - then the freedom comes. And we're only here to be happy. So happy makes money. Money doesn't make happy. Russell Simmons As to the effect of the wave on the air, we will suppose the water to be quite flat and the air motionless, a heavy undulation comes on the scene, it has to pass, so it pushes the air up with its face, letting it fall again as its back glides onwards. Lawrence Hargrave Music and language are a vital element. We, as actors and directors, offer it to people who want to experience it. Sometimes the actual meaning is less important than the words themselves. Kenneth Branagh I'll be working until I die. Joan Jett I try to be me to the utmost. Donald Glover I appreciate the opportunity to continue to serve the people of our state. David Minge God forbid we keep a couple secrets in this day and age!

My mouth starts watering immediately, like, 'Man, that is so good,' but I can't take a bite of it. Morgan Spurlock Receiving far less attention are the working class heroes, who go about their solitary work routines with quiet dignity, come home from another grueling day, yet still find time to interact with their children. Armstrong Williams If philosophy is practice, a demand to know the manner in which its history is to be studied is entailed: a theoretical attitude toward it becomes real only in the living appropriation of its contents from the texts. Karl Jaspers The central role in the fight against terrorism is with national authorities. Gijs de Vries My life is my argument. Albert Schweitzer Nothing comes easily for me. Bethenny Frankel There's nothing quite like a World Cup. Michael Owen The written word is everything. John Drinkwater I'm not a huge jewelry fan. Felicity Jones The German ueber-photographer Andreas Gursky was the p

is, will eventually be recognized. I am doubly thankful that also goes for idiots. Elayne Boosler I was molded, spent my time underneath a lot of goo. And then the bits and pieces were sculpted. It took probably 10 days to create each character after all those camera tests. Brendan Fraser In modern American politics, being the right kind of ignorant and entertainingly crazy is like having a big right hand in boxing; you've always got a puncher's chance. Matt Taibbi I sometimes get very protective of the people I play. Sienna Miller It was dreadful. They tried to put the little redhead in a cage. Sarah Ferguson Definition is the death of discovery.

Chuck Daly I don't like doing most things unless I can do them quite well. Oliver Reed

9/11 came from Canada, which is absolutely and totally incorrect. Richard Fadden The little religion that I have clung to-that what matters most is the continuity of life, and its improvement from one generation to another. David O. Selznick There was nothing I could - and wanted to - learn in school. It was just a complete waste of my time. Simon Cowell There are good characters and bad characters. Matt Stone I'm a Raider. Die hard Raider. Art Shell What is crucial is there be laws. Andre Weil Everything starts somewhere, although many physicists disagree.

records. I had a very straight image, particularly through the mid '80s. Bruce Springsteen Serial killers kill for the power and control they experience during the murders and for the added ego boost they get in the aftermath from community fears, media coverage, and the police investigations. Pat Brown You see, it took me so long, it was such a struggle, to move myself out of musicals - because I had had a success, nobody wanted to allow me to direct a non-musical picture. It was so hard. And the only way I could get it going was to become a producer myself. Stanley Donen My mom wasn't a movie star. Jeff Bridges I would like to work with Jack Nicholson, before it's too late. Judi Dench Living off the grid and being kind of an outlaw brings a dangerous reality. Ron Perlman It's rare to be treated like a friend you haven't met in a Hollywood meeting. David Ogden Stiers A culture without mythology is not really a civilisation. Vilayanur S. Ramach

- I just want to say, there's always next year - except, you know, for Ray Romano . Tony Shalhoub I guess people recognize me, but I'm not a household name. Two out of every five people who come up to me know my name. The one thing I don't want is to be followed by paparazzi. Michael Pena Unless we do things in this country to slow down our population, slow down our birth control, provide better water for people, provide power for people, we're gonna find out that the next wars are not going to be fought over diamonds, gold and political things. Evel Knievel I - you know, I'm not an actor. Mikhail Baryshnikov I don't have secrets in my life. Everything is out there. Manny Pacquiao We've never been your typical family. We've moved a lot. Stacie Orrico I don't buy into this, 'Oh, poor us. We've got tough budget problems.' Lisa Murkowski If I do something for my kids, I get a medal, because most fathers don't. Louis

are tripped up or fooled and we learn something, that makes things exciting - I am having fun with that stuff, but you have to manage it so it doesn't get too cute, that's what I trying to work toward. Jim McKay The comic book world is so dangerous, you know what I mean? You say one thing and people - they're ravenous - they are very opinionated fans. But they're great fans. Chris Evans In Hollywood, there really is a stigma against wrestling. I think that's why people think wrestlers are Neanderthals who can't string two words together. Chris Jericho Male athletes don't get dropped when they father kids. Candace Parker For 6 days a week I aim to get in between 18-23 miles. Jonathan Brown I can be really annoying, but I also feel like I'm a nice person. Mike White I find rebellion packaged by a major corporation a little hard to take seriously. David Byrne The sources of poetry are in the spirit seeking completeness. Muriel Rukeyser

country from Saddam was helping Iraq reduce its debt. The United States worked very hard to reduce 80 percent of Iraqi debt. Ahmed Chalabi They don't teach you just how to be in school. There's no class on that. There's no multiple choice test for Why Do I Feel This Way? Heather Matarazzo I've read and heard that some of the most inspiring vocal interpreters adhere habitually to one rule: Always think the lyrics as you're singing them, so that the sentiment is always appropriate and heartfelt. Brandi Carlile Classical music presents some of the world's most challenging pieces. Jake Shimabukuro You should be able to have good matches against anybody.

Layne Staley I feel more and more the time wasted that is not spent in Ireland. Lady Gregory Kensington Market is a must visit place in Toro

cool for girls to have those kinds of abilities. Rebel Wilson I'm not invited. I'm not on the A list, haven't been on it in 20 years and my feet have never trod its red fluffy carpets. Nick Mancuso I've been very fortunate to be able to jump around. I just did this really wonderful film called Map of the World. That was a real, amazing, dramatic story. Then I did a movie called Company Men, a little comedy about the Bay of Pigs. Sigourney Weaver I mean we grew up in a TB bus and I became a TB doctor. Paul Farmer I do everything I do to pay tribute to my great-grandfather. Nik Wallenda I would rather be with my kids than anybody else. Louis C. K. I was a gymnast for years.

Christopher Darden It is important that legislation keeps pace with scientific progress. Robert Winston

being written for me right now.' Bryan Batt When I wake up, I'll go through emails on my iPhone - the junk email. At that point, my brain isn't usually awake enough to handle anything more than that. Sam Trammell The thing about sports movies is, they can't help but feel epic - putting music to images, etc. Lindsey Shaw Johnny Depp is probably the best actor. Freddie Highmore I think hard work is what gets most people to the top. Rupert Sheldrake I'm basically an Upper West Side Jewish writer. Alan Furst I'm Kevin Nealon, and that's news to me.

work and being very professional in taking things on. David Boreanaz Lives don't divide up into chapters. People don't just talk, while nothing's going on in their head, and then respond. You know, none of these things actually happen. Will Self The beautiful thing is that ageism just doesn't exist on 'EastEnders.' The show saved me. Barbara Windsor I'm happy to write 10 times too much music. Jonny Greenwood I am an addictive personality. Trisha Goddard I have always been a learner because I knew nothing. Sidney Poitier Candy is my fuel. Ice cream, too. Jane Smiley I think it's important to come from a humble place.

waiting around for my friends in Canada to call me every four years - which they do - and I go up there and play a leading role. Sandra Oh I've never really talked about this, but I would go days without eating. Or maybe I'd have some fruit and then go to the gym for three hours. I knew I had a problem... It was a gradual process but I changed myself. Lucy Hale I myself am pathetically impressed when I meet writers of very long novels. How can they spend so many hundreds of hours at the miserable, lonely pastime of creating fiction? Arthur Smith I will offer a choice, not an echo. Barry Goldwater When I was growing up I actually was into Bon Jovi! Amy Ryan America is not a melting pot. It is a sizzling cauldron. Barbara Mikulski Living in Paris was a crash course in chic.

- are taking on some of the biggest, most interesting kind of socioeconomic issues around in a really interesting, compelling way. Gillian Flynn Every nation on the Earth that embraces market economics and the free enterprise system is pulling millions of its people out of poverty. The free enterprise system creates prosperity, not denies it. Marco Rubio Currently a level of unemployment of 7 percent or more seems to be required to keep inflation from accelerating, a level quite unacceptable as a permanent situation. William Vickrey I'm an outgoing girl, and I can't help the way I look. Samantha Fox It's not like I have a master plan or anything. Gretchen Mol I never try and sound like Sabbath. Geezer Butler I tend to be sort of quiet and shy and awkward in social situations. Tony Kushner When you're miserable, you don't want anyone around you to be happy.

Roger Bannister I grew up in a big family with a lot of kids around, and I definitely want to have children as well. Heidi Klum The country is making a big mistake not teaching kids to cook and raise a garden and build fires. Loretta Lynn I listen to Steely Dan. I really like Steely Dan.

Maya Lin After 'Bridesmaids,' women know who I am. Chris O'Dowd

and those who come to applaud you. And to me, those people are very important. Miriam Makeba We are going to have to discuss with and seek the opinions of other countries. We don't wish to offend anyone, least of all a country we hold in such deep regard as the United Kingdom. Rafael Correa I thought I wanted to be an electrical engineer, which I turned out to be. But I was always curious about other things too, and what if I got interested in history or the law? Jerry Yang If lifespan jumps by 30 or 40 years, that has enormous implications. Joshua Lederberg Many people have asked me how I feel about losing my job. Carly Fiorina Consider your house from an aesthetic point of view. Anthea Turner I'm trying to make as many films as I can.

our environment. It has been for the past 50, 70 years. It's what you see on TV, on the computer, what is in the magazines and newspapers. Richard Hell When George W. Bush picked Dick Cheney, it was a reassuring sign that the Texas governor would have an experienced, prudent voice at his side. Jeff Greenfield The catchword I use with my classes is: The authority of the writer always overcomes the skepticism of the reader. Nikki Giovanni Brooklyn's good. Brooklyn's funky. Brooklyn's happening. Waris Dirie The only people I really hate are parking attendants. Alison Jackson My education and background thoroughly inform my writing. David Brin The fact that I was a girl never damaged my ambitions to be a pope or an emperor. Willa Cather I think back and marvel that my ambitions were so small. Helen Reddy I came along at a time when the industry was eating its young. Chely Wright The night cometh when no man can work. Sheldon Jackson

terms of painting pictures and painting a performance. For theater, the director does everything he can and then says, 'Out you go,' and the actors are in charge of that stage every night. David Lindsay-Abaire I do not go on my Wikipedia page. There's just too much weird information on there for me to pick apart. Amos Lee I think when one becomes very close to another person, it can mean loving and intimacy, but on the other hand, there's also the danger of one destructing another under the name of love. I think that is the scariest thing for me in various relationships. Bong Joon-ho I also discovered the only complete Brontosaurus skull. Robert T. Bakker I have never left another senator out to dry. Never. Joe Biden I started my first business at 14! Terry McAuliffe It was very natural that people just think of me as a comic actor. Curtis Armstrong You are absolutely enough the way you are.

game or a religion? The people of this country have allowed sports to get completely out of hand. Howard Cosell It was an ongoing struggle to say no, I don't want to be a part of the perpetuation of this stereotype. John Amos As Buddhism moved to the West, one of the big characteristics was the strong place of women. That didn't exist in the countries of origin. It's just a sign of our culture. Pema Chodron Hold fast to youth and beauty. Elizabeth Arden I have a new hobby and it's pretty much logging. Eric Church I'd rather tell you how I really feel. Drake My parents were like June and Ward Cleaver; there was nothing dysfunctional about them. Kelly Ripa For my part, I do not much believe in the predilections of boyhood. James Payn I knew the whistle of each of the river boats on the Tennessee. William Christopher Handy Man appoints, and God disappoints. Miguel de Cervantes

they got picked up again and all that good stuff, but I haven't heard anything yet. But, you know, I'm very elusive and hard to contact. Patrick Warburton I've gotten used to using individual lashes as well. A lot of girls will use strip eyelashes, but the glue comes out of each side and it gets messy. Individual lashes make your eyes look bigger and much more natural. Katherine Webb The paintings by Van Gough and Chagall had a big influence on me. John Dyer A1 Great Britain has to look at the longer term. John Surtees And the second question, can poetry be taught? I didn't think so.

you know, more than 10,000 people who've ever been elected to Congress, you know, only about 250 of them have ever been women. Gwen Moore Whether it's their Sharia law and birther conspiracies or their unwillingness to buck Grover Norquist's no-tax pledge, the Tea Partiers have hijacked their party and carried it all the way to the right. Jennifer Granholm On a regular basis I go over in my mind some of the most troublesome things I see about how people approach eating, and the wonder mess we have made out of a very simple thing. Gabrielle Reece From the time I was six years old, I wanted to be a BMX Racer and be the best. Donny Robinson It's just hard to meet new people, in my position. Eminem I never saw myself as a folk singer. Bob Dylan Wherever an altar is found, there civilization exists. Joseph de Maistre I get cold - really cold - when I travel. Laura Linney Because if I don't know my lines, I really don't know what I'm doing.

is that a physical attraction will only take you so far. So you definitely have to have a strong intellectual connection as well. Jesse Metcalfe Golf has an ambivalent relationship with the environment. On one hand, it's a great preserver of open spaces. Golf doesn't pave the world - it helps to green the world. But the downside is, it uses a lot of fertilizer, pesticides and water. Thomas Friedman Listen - I like musicals. Even when they're bad, there's a couple of dancers I can watch. Richard Schiff Most single guys I know think fatherhood is terrifying. Jim Gaffigan I used to spend every morning in detention at my old school. Jake Lloyd Never pick a fight with an ugly person, they've got nothing to lose. Robin Williams It's incredibly moving to hear some of our greatest actors performing Shakespeare.

would prefer not to be skinned by Obama's EPA. Fred Upton It crossed our minds early on that the more an audience cared - we were working before, on average, 240, live people. If you could get them caring - the more they cared, the harder they laughed. Norman Lear This is a game. That's all it is. It's not a war. Jack Nicklaus I think to be driven to want to kill must be such a terrible burden. Ruth Rendell We've got to give a quality effort every day and play better. Mike Quade I would love to see a G-Unit reunion. Tony Yayo We need not be afraid of the future, for the future will be in our own hands. Thomas Dewey Every time I've moved, my work has changed radically. Robert Rauschenberg I'm such a tomboy. Teyana Taylor I've got to be high class... Which is sad, because I like bars. Daniel Craig

of someone's real belief in something to help tell a story. I will not do something shocking for the sake of being nasty. If it's not hurting anyone's feelings, I'm in on the joke. Selma Blair It's not worth getting too excited about thinking about the larger picture. The larger picture doesn't come into focus for an awfully long time. Jonathan Safran Foer Educate yourself as much as you can with life. Just go out there. Julian Morris My choices in films are spontaneous. Nicole Kidman Religion stands, the Church blocking the sun. Stephen Spender I tend to name albums after one of the songs. Dan Auerbach John Kerry's biography was central to his campaign.

Loni Anderson

off and make some money, I don't feel that I should have to share it with my community. Gary Numan Everyone is on the internet but they're not all talking with each other. There are groups upon groups out there, but they don't talk to one another. So while the internet brings everyone into a shared space, it does not necessarily bring them together. David Lynch The visual information of art history is going to students seamlessly, without the enormous trouble those of us who are older had when we studied art history many years ago. Robert Nelson I have heard talk and talk, but nothing is done. Chief Joseph Some day I will be better remembered. Grover Cleveland Hippos kill more people in Africa annually than any other wild animal. George Ayittey To create is to resist; to resist is to create. Stephane Hessel As soon as there is language, generality has entered the scene. Jacques Derrida I think the worst thing you can do about a situation is nothing.

child of theirs, where they're being proved guilty of some crime that would drive the parent into a depression, maybe a suicidal depression. Robert Nozick I applied a lot of the same principles I used in hockey into my acting. I might have had some naive ambitions of making the NHL, but thank God, playing hockey gave me a good foundation for everything else. Vincent Piazza A lot of directors don't know what they want to do. Every director I've seen that was a good director that I've admired knew exactly what he wanted to do. They didn't sit there and think about it. John Milius I never reflect or convey that which I have not experienced myself. Abbas Kiarostami I don't shop. I buy things that inspire me, that give me emotion. Giambattista Valli The matter of international relations is very subtle and exquisite. Vladimir Zhirinovsky It really is true that an orator is simply a good man who speaks well. George McGovern I'm not a religious

will put the Arctic Sea basin on a very high risk of... environmental disasters that might be there. Aleqa Hammond All fantasy should have a solid base in reality. Max Beerbohm I consider myself a writer who happens to write about history, rather than a historian. I was an English major in college. What I've learned about history is in the field, so to speak. Going into the archives and working with it directly. Nathaniel Philbrick Doesn't all experience crumble in the end to mere literary material? Ellen Glasgow Practice, work hard, and give it everything you have. Dizzy Dean I grill, therefore I am. Alton Brown I came out even with all the struggles I endured on Rikers Island.

to watch the physical and mental growth. That has always been very exciting. Bela Karolyi I was born in 1949 - which seems like a long time ago... Actually, it is a long time ago, when I think about it. Rick Wakeman One reason I do the live shows - and the monthly speeches at public radio stations - is to remind myself that people hear the show, that it has an audience, that it exists in the world. It's so easy to forget that. Ira Glass When I'm not working, I don't do lots of glamorous things. Emma Roberts Collaboration is the way to go. It's very timely and fun to do.

Sara Paretsky L.A. I could live without. Julia Louis-Dreyfus I have great respect for directors who know what they're doing. Bill Mumy

choices in dark young adult novels are incredibly satisfying for readers. Maggie Stiefvater In real terms, there is a greater disparity of earnings between the very rich and the very poor. Ferdinand Mount A person without a shadow should keep out of the sun, that is the only safe and rational plan. Adelbert von Chamisso Rejection just motivates me to keep trying and to try to do better. Sasha Grey There isn't a specific person in my mind that I'd want to play. Yet.

the U.S. I'm not comfortable with many aspects of U.S. society - especially the justice system. John Connolly I'm always excited to try something I haven't done. Demetri Martin It used to be that you could do these nuggets of a movie and it would attach itself in terms of credibility to your work and the style of work that you did, that people would be interested and curious about you and your work as an actor. Jared Harris My name has zero value. Colin Quinn Business principles are only as good as the practices that back them up. Chip Conley There's always a special feeling I have while writing any song. Carly Rae Jepsen You know what actors are like; they moisturize every night. They're frozen in time. Danny Boyle Well, at least I'm not too thin. I eat. Helena Bonham Carter Cover the canvas at the first go, then work at it until you see nothing more to add. Camille Pissarro When you pursue great flavor, you also pursue great ecology.

ethnically defined nation, the opposite of an immigrant nation. You don't see a lot of American engineers trying to be Chinese citizens. Amy Chua You know, 'The Golden Girls' was a very unusual show to start on. I was young, and it was a show about old people, and it was a very traditional show, but it was also an amazing training ground for a joke-writer. It forced me to learn those skills.

Ditrich knows exactly what it is, though he says it is under construction. Rafael Correa Sometimes, the other characters are too normal and then you start to be brought back to reality but then Luna shows up and she is just so funny and cool and honest and slightly mad and she's all that matters.

Heather O'Reilly I've read that a naked eye can see six thousand stars in the hundred billion galaxies, but I couldn't believe it, what with the sky white with starlight.

We are considered like demi-gods here, and the reason is not because we are better or good, but because there is no other mode of entertainment in India. Shah Rukh Khan I grew up with no money.
