I mean, small business - men and women or big business are sitting out there saying we have no idea what this is going to cost, but we know it's going to cost us and cost us a lot. Rick Perry George Bush and John Ashcroft were religious in a scary way, but the rational among us could always take heart that, deep down, the Bush administration was more cynical than messianic.

Krist Novoselic When you see a Sudanese walking on the street, there is a story. Emmanuel Jal I had glow in the dark bands made up and I've given away a ton of them.

which the impersonation is pulled off; the belief it inspires is what counts. Philip Roth There have been nine Super Bowls in New Orleans, and not all of them have brought the best of luck to NFL Films.

Steve Sabol Foursquare's adoption of a game dynamic when it launched is a particularly clever implementation of a social hook. Fred Wilson I love all my children, but some of them I don't like.

Joss Stone I did as well as I knew how and have nothing to be ashamed of. Peter Tork God is more interested in your future and your relationships than you are. Billy Graham I'm not a comedian.

D.C. at The Kennedy Center with Cate Blanchett and I was sent the script and asked if I was interested, and I said 'Oh, boy am I!' Jacki Weaver I've always been a fan of melody and emotional melancholy, whether it was Rites of Spring or Tears for Fears or Neil Young. If I hear a song that has a sweet melody, I'm a sucker for it, whether it's Linkin Park or Little Richard. Dave Grohl To do an extreme metal record is something that is well within my capacity as a musician to write stuff out of the box, write stuff that's probably more extreme than the band I'm in at the present time, and it's something that needs to come out of me one way or another.

Mike Tyson I'm a great believer in the idea of not choosing based on our taste. Sheena Iyengar You have to mind your Ps and Qs a litt

likely to be influenced by our hopes and fears. Charles D. Broad I used to think that you could get to a level of success where the laws of the universe didn't apply. But they do.

Devon Sawa Winston Churchill would be great to have around the table. Ian Botham I really don't require a whole lot in life. Jeff Foxworthy I changed the city of New York. I gave people back their morale. Ed Koch If you look at the types of directors out there, I'm not as weird as most of

of what makes a hit, or how to determine how many viewers are watching beyond some people with Nielsen boxes in a small percentage of homes in random areas. Jim Rash I wouldn't want you to see me all the time on the screen, because I get bored of it myself!

to Los Angeles, having had enough cold weather in 5 years in Ann Arbor, and found a job within a few days. W. Richard Stevens The difficulty with the present state of affairs is that there is no legislation on the sources of funding for the Polish film industry. There is no legislation concerning filmmaking. And, there is no legislation on television that would be beneficial to filmmaking. Andrzej Wajda As a historian, I love every little detail, but whole long passages about wood paneling and journeys on horseback and every stop at every inn had to go out the window.

Shirley Jackson I support the indigenous people anywhere in the planet. Edward James Olmos I don't want any dog to be put down. Tila Tequila Once you become predictable, no one's interested anymore.

My poor mother. I'm ready to run away. Sheryl Lee No, there will come a time where I'm not gonna do this anymore. I mean, there will come a time, definitely, where I'll turn into Elvis - I'm gonna be fat and fishin', I guarantee you. Tim McGraw A novel is often a longer process in handling self-doubt. Robert Sheckley The preparatory education of candidates for knighthood was long and arduous. Thomas Bulfinch Cancer is not a straight line. It's up and down.

Rob Corddry Surely the only sound foundation for a civilization is a sound state of mind. E. M. Forster I was completely nuts for mo

this young. We're all cool and down to earth and not caught up in this maniacal business at all... . Everybody really, really likes everybody else. Lizzy Caplan I've just seen really, really funny guys, and if I didn't know them, I wouldn't know they were funny from the television. I don't know what it does, it just sucks it away. Norm MacDonald I see myself at 7:30 in the morning and it's not too pretty. Rod Stewart I love America. I love Americans. John Lydon I felt like things could never get any worse.

Margot Kidder

her. I can't even describe how much fun I had. Elle Fanning Forgotten was presented to me by the drama department at LWT as a concept and I found it immediately intriguing and very powerful.

This happened on a Wednesday, and by the following Monday I was shooting. Victoria Abril It gets so boring you know just to do the same thing over and over again.

Sean Penn When you tour, you regain the music and the connection with the audience. Sade Adu Therefore, st

like, an older man, I guess, although he's not really that old, obviously. I don't want to offend him.

Jeanne Calment Satire is traditionally the weapon of the powerless against the powerful. Molly Ivins

they want their teams to play and most of them are allowed to take their teams forward in their own way. Kevin Pietersen Everything is changing in squash. Lots of television coverage and the game has become very professional. Jahangir Khan People gave me such a bad time about wanting a baby. I didn't want a baby, and I still don't. I wanted a dog.

Matthew McConaughey Love begins with an image; lust with a sensation. Mason Cooley Watching a good actor is the best way to learn. Kieran Culkin

real person. She's selfish, she's childish, she's immature and because I'm doing a three-book arc I really played that up in the first book. I wanted the reader to be annoyed with her at times. Amber Benson I'm a very message-oriented artist, and each song has a totally different meaning. Claudia Lee You look at the whole Human Rights questions, I happened to be there at just the right time when the country was awakening - this goes to the first question you asked - the whole country was awakening to a hundred years of injustice that hadn't been resolved yet. Birch Bayh I love drag queens... they perform me better than I ever could myself. Taylor Dane I don't believe in creating exclusionary art. Joss Whedon The world is a pile of grunge.

passion can surprise and renew, utterly failed me. Elizabeth Wurtzel I came in the league as not a shooter, not a scorer. My game was to play defense and make my teammates better. The most important stat to me was that left column - winning. Nothing else matters. Jason Kidd Because a football game is just sixty minutes, but I'm training six, seven hours in every day. So, going for sixty minutes becomes easy. More importantly, I think that your muscles mature and can move in all different directions.

Jodie Foster I was willing to accept what I couldn't change. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam Maybe it's my libertarian philosophy: but being in g

Pierre Corneille I do Pilates, and hike with my dog. Kate Walsh I do not have any pets. We travel too much. Nancy Kerrigan

draw for 'The New Yorker.' I saw her work published in the magazine in the early 1970s - she was the only woman working as a cartoonist at 'The New Yorker' at the time. Liza Donnelly And I tell you that's one of the reasons why I didn't have the friendships with the media, maybe like I could have. But I had to do what I had to do to make myself successful. Eddie Murray I think it's important for all culturally literate people to understand the technological substrate of new developments. Hari Kunzru I never care about myself out in public when I get the paparazzi swarming me. Tori Spelling I'm always buying gadgets, especially at airports. Tom Felton I'm just a storyteller. Norman Jewison Finding some quiet time in your life, I think, is hugely important. Mariel Hemingway It's always nice to receive a compliment. Morrissey I learned to fly an airplane, and had my own airplane during the 1960s. Douglass North Those who l

occasionally worked the drive-thru. I'd go wherever I was needed! My second job was at Dairy Queen. I stayed in the fast food royalty. Kate Walsh I worked in the media from the late 30's through the early 70's. Politics in general became more liberal both nationally and within the state as the years passed.

my act. I keep myself in a state of confusion. It stresses me out, but I prefer creative chaos. Joy Behar We can no more do without spirituality than we can do without food, shelter, or clothing. Ernest Holmes I think the reason I don't read is because, when I'm reading, I feel like I'm missing out on something else. You know, What are my friends doing? Where's my girlfriend? Adam Sandler I'm a great swimmer, probably due to the size of my feet. Cat Deeley Museums are tombs, and it looks like everything is turning into a museum. Robert Smithson I am a conservationist. It is in my DNA. Louis Bacon Let me be clear about this. I don't have a drug problem. I have a police problem. Keith Richards There is nothin' like a dame.

Rick Perry Strings of gravity vibrate at a different frequency than strings of light. Roy H. Williams You don't have a family doctor anymore like you did when you were a kid, who treated you throughout your life. Mehmet Oz The battle is on, and nothing less than the soul of America is at stake. Arthur C. Brooks I wanted to be a male ballet dancer. Scott Thompson I was in love once, and it was terrible.

Ikue Mori Laws are spider webs through which the big flies pass and the little ones get caught. Honore de Balzac Sometimes paranoia's just having all the facts. William S. Burroughs

one reason you should try different relationships. I've had good and bad ones, but I took away things from them that helped me become who I am. Cobie Smulders When I was a boxer, I wanted to be champion of the world, not the richest man in the world.

Elinor Lipman My ideas are always better. We have an understanding in place. Lana Wachowski Mick Jagger, his face was very new. It became a sex symbol. Isaac Mizrahi A lot of people don't know that my father is black. Ryan Giggs I don't know anybody who does what I do. I'm very underground. Eric Bogosian The classroom should be an entrance into the world, not an escape from it. John Ciardi Some people are more terrorist than others. John Keegan I don't Botox. I've never Botoxed. Ryan Seacrest

the ratings this has had. But from a career point of view, it has opened so many doors. Dan Stevens Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future. Elie Wiesel Movies are fun, but they're not a cure for cancer. Warren Beatty Change happens at the frontier.

Taylor Swift I met the Radicals and we liked each other reciprocally. Emma Bonino

lucky, maybe one in five. So you just have to keep on, you have to get through the bad bits. Mike Newell With regard to electric vehicles, I am all for them because most of the incremental electricity needed to run those vehicles will come from gas-fired electric generation.

Doris Lessing It's the writers' job to

this war who do what they do for religious reasons, and they feel with God on their side. Some people are good at annihilating people. Maybe that's their gift. Denzel Washington We are confident that shared values of Wockhardt Hospitals and Fortis Healthcare will form the basis for our continued success in the future. Malvinder Mohan Singh Everybody, at some point in their life, has fallen down and not felt like getting back up, but you have to, no matter how difficult it is. Charlie Hunnam I make films about working class people. Taylor Hackford Chart positions aren't the be all and end all. Chris Lowe I think a lot of the stuff I'm playing now is crap. John Peel God is a spirit. A spirit is as much matter as oxygen or hydrogen. Orson Pratt Faulkner was almost oriental. I never got into Faulkner. Tom T. Hall Directing a movie is serious, it's not a joke. Fred Durst Poetry is a mere drug, Sir. George Farquhar

would not pay the printer. The question of judgment is a puzzling one. Maxfield Parrish That's the big difference between Christianity and other religions. The difference between Works and Grace or Do and Done. Rick Warren I don't put weight on fame, and having people around me just because I am famous makes me feel really bad about myself. Jessica Alba I'm not a sedentary person. I've always been active. Lauren Bacall It can't be Nature, for it is not sense. Charles Churchill I'd love to work with Sufjan Stevens. He so gets it. He's amazing. Lee DeWyze I do not need a lot of money to be happy. Debra Winger Just let the wardrobe do the acting. Jack Nicholson I think it's really important to live in the moment. Abbie Cornish There is a universality to comedy. Simon Pegg

who think critically it is a rational fiction, created by man in order to facilitate human coexistence. Friedrich Durrenmatt The only thing I have done religiously in my life is keep a journal. I have hundreds of them, filled with feathers, flowers, photographs, and words - without locks, open on my shelves. Terry Tempest Williams Because I didn't have brothers, I was always interested in the kids down the street that had four brothers in their family, so I became one of them - but it was not my family. Gus Van Sant Obviously Madonna reinforces everything absurd and offensive. Morrissey Movies are an expensive business. Albert Brooks I do tend to lose track since the kids are out of school. Marion Zimmer Bradley Artists, no matter how good their intentions, are always slower than they think. Mark Millar I always try to adjust to the situation. Novak Djokovic Just as a puppy can be more of a challenge than a gift, so too can the holidays. John Clayton Ever

that sacrifice character for plot. Lasse Hallstrom I never want to be in a position where I have to defend my material. It's too subjective. It's for other people to defend or not defend. Sarah Silverman My mother is an artist, and I have a strong visual sense. I almost always choose the cover art for my books. I've learned that the more I collaborate, like by having someone do a soundtrack to one of my books, the more I see my own work differently. Jeff Vandermeer I still have a young attitude. Pat Morita When I heard Little Richard, I mean, it just set my world on fire. David Bowie I have said many times that Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism. Chuck Hagel The whole point of social media is continuity and continual engagement. Clara Shih I've always had a soft spot for Phil Collins. He's a great vocalist. Ben Gibbard I may look like the girl next door, but you wouldn't want to live next door to me. Elisabeth Shue I think I could dr

fists at. They want someone to hate. And if that's what you want to pay me to do, I'm happy to do it! Jane Elliot Everything must change and you do what you can with the changes that are made. You can't stop it. You can't fight it. Everybody tries to go back to yesterday, but you can't go back to yesterday. The only time there is, is now.

Chris Zylka Perhaps all human interaction is about wanting and getting. David Mitchell I am definitively qualitative about work. Rashida Jones In 1974, I first met Carl. I was 25 years old.

Clive Owen My relationship with everyone in Jam

in 2008, or such a display in government and business of panic and helplessness. James Buchan I'm good at what I do, but I wouldn't be so bold and arrogant as to say something disrespectful about, say, Eminem. He's talented and he's good at what he does. LL Cool J Sometimes good television doesn't depend on money, it depends on imagination and good people directing, casting and doing the job with talented people. Elisabeth Sladen A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears. Michel de Montaigne You have to have a lot of little boy in you to play baseball for a living. Roy Campanella In motion pictures, the actor rules. The camera served the actor. Richard Donner We all want what's been suddenly disallowed. Charles Olson What position didn't I play last season? Aaron Hill In the business world, bad news is usually good news - for somebody else. James Surowiecki I know what it takes to get to the top. Linford Ch

to deal with feelings, dreams, an acceptance of irrationality.

Jose Padilha I don't know what love means. Imogen Cunningham Logic is a poor model of cause and effect. Gregory Bateson

all of my interviews on Skype text chat - all that matters is their work. Matt Mullenweg I was never an ingenue. I've always just been a character actor. When I was younger, it was a real problem, because I was never pretty enough. It was hard, not just for the lack of work, but because you have to face up to how people are looking at you. Kathy Bates As a writer, you owe it to yourself not to get stuck in a rut of looking at the world in a certain way. Hilary Mantel Federal spending is atrocious. Jason Chaffetz Perseverance and perspective until victory. Lincoln Diaz-Balart It is a wise man who knows where courage ends and stupidity begins. Jerome Cady In any investment, you expect to have fun and make money. Michael Jordan I'm very wary of trust, you see. Kristin Scott Thomas I pay my own bills. I feel my own pain. Romario You make decisions and you're not going to please everybody all the time. Mike Quade

same reason that I eat too much-I'm one of nature's shoppers. Howard Hodgkin If I asked you to stand in one spot for 35 hours or a certain length of time, you could do it. David Blaine The U.S. Military is us. There is no truer representation of a country than the people that it sends into the field to fight for it. The people who wear our uniform and carry our rifles into combat are our kids, and our job is to support them, because they're protecting us. Tom Clancy But I don't sit down at dinner and have clever ideas. Mark Rylance Now, when I was in the Army, writing was my hobby. Brian Lumley My passion for music has always inspired my designs.

Asghar Farhadi I'm now a member of a pretty small club. Felix Baumgartner I accept challenges, I have always done that in w

Austen. I did my dissertation at university on black people in eighteenth-century Britain - so I'd love to do a Jane Austen-esque film but with black people. Naomie Harris I've written three books you could think of as memoirs. Calvin Trillin To have the sense of creative activity is the great happiness and the great proof of being alive. Matthew Arnold I actually want to go up into space. Sarah Brightman I was always the last one chosen for football games in Central Park. Merlin Olsen I came to America to make it my home, and I did.

I've got great training from my mum. Kelly Osbourne You never really know how quick you are before you reach F1. Jean Alesi

but that is really inferior in value to gold, and then - because those prices are nominally higher than gold prices - to say that they are inflated, relatively to gold, is a perfect absurdity. Lysander Spooner Certain stories we carry with us, events in our life, they define who we are. It's not a matter of getting over anything; we have to make the best of it. Nick Flynn I won't complain about touring, because I really do believe that a public-figure musician complaining about being a public-figure musician is just absurd. Like, 'Boo hoo hoo! I have to stand on stage and people pay attention to me!' Moby I want to constantly be surprising people with different roles. Emma Roberts Then I just moved into being a DJ when that turned into the hottest thing. Jam Master Jay Avoiding humiliation is the core of tragedy and comedy. John Guare The Internet is the greatest thing that ever happened to the entertainment industry. Michael Ovitz For years, I had

it or leave it. But, as I got to the age of 25 or 26, Christmas became quite a big deal, and I love it now. I love the food, and I love sharing time with people. James McAvoy I believe that access to a university education should be based on the ability to learn, not what people can afford. I think there is no more nauseating a sight than politicians pulling up the ladder of opportunity behind them. Charles Kennedy When I write, I'm sort of old-fashioned in the sense that I like to write something that I feel I could just perform alone, obviously, because I do that a lot in concert. Sondre Lerche I think my best years are ahead of me and that's exciting. Tony Romo Have I had therapy? I went to a yoga class once. Dylan Moran All experience is subjective. Gregory Bateson Most of the work performed by a development engineer results in failure. Koichi Tanaka I want to be a soul singer. Solomon Burke I just didn't work that much while the kids were growin

I love doing what I'm doing, but while I'm doing it, I'm miserable. Viola Davis These days it's cool to be ethnic and to be different, but when I was a kid, it was not cool - at all. My friends would come over and my mom would make crepes with eggs, stuffed with mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and spinach. And they'd be like, 'What is this?' Giada De Laurentiis In Goodfellas they have this one scene where the camera goes down some steps and walks through a kitchen into a restaurant and the critics were all over this as evidence of the genius of Scorsese and Scorsese is a genius. Alex Cox Death was like love, a romantic escape. Brigitte Bardot Measure what is measurable, and make measurable what is not so. Galileo Galilei I have lived long enough both in years and in accomplishments. Julius Caesar You dread that there will be real problems during filming. Ralph Fiennes I'm inspired by challenges. My life was always like this. Romario M

and bake the cookies, and do the homework. Vanna White That actually is one of my huge challenges right now because I write best at night, no question. I can focus. You know you're not getting any phone calls, I can shut everything down, and I'm just more creative at night. Stephenie Meyer The older, thinner, and less productive grass lands, however, frequently can be made to produce much larger yields of feed in corn than if left, as they are, in unproductive grass.

Simon Cowell Shakespeare is the one who gets re-interpreted most frequently. Sam Waterston If I was to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Bobby Hull For some reason the most devoted mapheads seem to be kids. Ken Jennings A good man with a good conscience doesn't walk so fast. Georg Buchner I sometimes feel tired. But there are so man

of India's entrepreneurs. We introduced more competition, both internal competition and external competition. We simplified and rationalized the tax system. We made risk-taking much more attractive. Manmohan Singh The corporate woman has been defined as the 'liberated woman' and I see that as the exact opposite. I think she now is more enslaved, maybe even more than the housewife was; because she's so out of her power, and imitating male power is not female power. Kenny Loggins I have the rare privilege of talking to my dad every night at 10 p.m. and hearing about what he did that day. Vanessa Kerry TV is what sells your product.

my father was offered the position of head of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company office on the west coast, and we moved to San Francisco.

it into visual storytelling is to change it up. I think in a book, in any book, you can have a reactive character. Some of the great novels of all time have had that, but in a film you can't do that. Melissa Rosenberg There's always going to be somebody who takes a dislike to you and you can't waste time worrying about it. Paula Radcliffe I love wearing the exact same thing all the time because I think it makes you like a cartoon character.

than 40 million people below the poverty line and 42 million on food stamps, and then you look at poverty around the world, clearly the way we're running the engine of capitalism is not serving us well.

Jason Wiles I did four independent films during the break between 'Twilight' and 'New Moon.' I haven't even really had time to sit back and process it all.

Two Chainz As much as I love heavy riffs, I like The Eagles, Neil Young, Elton John, Crowded House. Zakk Wylde It seems to me that humour is everybody's way of keeping sane and standing off from the situations so that they can see it intellectually, as well as emotionally, and I don't know whether you've noticed, but if somebody tells a joke, it's nearly always a mini fantasy.

and flew me to Los Angeles, and I was on the March cover of 1992. Anna Nicole Smith They say that every snowflake is different. If that were true, how could the world go on? How could we ever get up off our knees? How could we ever recover from the wonder of it? Jeanette Winterson It's not that there are no masters, but that there are many. And the job of the solicitor general is to balance those masters and to accommodate them all, each in their proper places, wisely and well and in so doing to represent the people of the United States.

thing, being funny in the face of tragedy is kind of demented. Julie Brown Because, they're only thinking about one team when that game's over. Before the game, they're talking about two football teams. When the game's over, there's only one winner. Don Shula Writing a novel is one of those modern rites of passage, I think, that lead us from an innocent world of contentment, drunkenness, and good humor, to a state of chronic edginess and the perpetual scanning of bank statements.

Annie Besant Oh God, you know what would be really good for me is a dog locater - it would save me the hours that I have to spend looking for my dog.

You can sing thirds or you can sing fifths or you can do a background harmony.

the next step is for them to bring in audiences of color and continue to go out to our community and create a continuous connection that extends beyond the one black show in the season.

Andres Iniesta With Facebook, you're not really allowed to be unhappy. Think about it: There's only a like button. Yes, you can be angry, but it's only lighthearted rage.

international market in India. So that was really the main thing, and then of course economically it was cheaper to make films in India.
