Especially if it's a cold day in Chicago, it's nice to just take it out on Kyle, because he's so easy to scream at, you know? Fisher Stevens I love to eat and I don't believe in denying myself, so I have to work out.

John Hutton When the Americans are behind you, they're behind you 100%, and this gives you real confidence as an architect.

when I came to Washington, I think one of the mistakes we made early on was kind of having an ideological dispute up in the Congress.

by the lack of adequate electrical instruments for which I now conceive my music. Edgard Varese You know those award shows.

your hand, and it may be a load of rubbish, but you've got to keep up the front. Sebastian Coe Nothing can substitute for just plain hard work. I had to put in the time to get back.

the greatest nations in terms of world cinema but the real problem is the decay in film criticism. Wim Wenders I just couldn't stand school. If I went, I'd skip after the first class.

liberal people doing liberal broadcasting, or conservative blogs or liberal blogs. Bill Keller A lot of guys go, 'Hey, Yog, say a Yogi-ism.' I tell 'em, 'I don't know any.'

He didn't sound like anybody else, So everybody that I ever listened to, in some form, influenced my taste.

Jam Master Jay I've got seven kids. The three words you hear most around my house are 'hello', 'goodbye', and 'I'm pregnant'. Dean Martin When you work in TV, it's such a group effort, it's not about you. Kylie Minogue If you really want to tell stories, do it and don't be dissuaded. William Joyce Well, I was interested in playing the piano from as early as I can remember. Warren Zevon It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely. Cole Porter A huge part of swimming for me is I love it, and it is so much fun. Missy Franklin I'm not a god - I do bad things. Jackie Chan There's a difference between violence and senseless violence. DMX

New Year's Eve. I always watch just in case the explosives don't go off in the end. You have to watch the end, just to make sure it's OK. David Cameron There must of course be a relationship between translating and making poems of your own, but what it is I just don't know. Robert Fitzgerald Knowing what I knew about Russia, as much as I loved the music and was fascinated by the songs and the whole idea of it, I knew it would be a very lengthy and frustrating process. Marc Almond Singing is definitely not my forte. I'll put that out there on the record. Shenae Grimes You are a saucy little thing aren't you? Simon Cowell I wasn't interested in novelty. I was looking for good drama. Tom Baker The hallmark of a great captain is the ability to win the toss, at the right time. Richie Benaud I'm not comfortable around guns. Daniel Silva Genius is immediate, but talent takes time. Janet Flanner Broadway is really my life. Vanessa Wil

whether it's Obama or McCain - will present an ambitious program promoting renewable energies and energy efficiency. Europe could quickly fall behind. Sigmar Gabriel I knew I was destined to be a rock star. I just knew it, like I've always had the power of foresight. I feel right now exactly the way I felt after I finished mixing my first solo album 'New York Groove'. Ace Frehley We've achieved this feeling, for instance, with the colors. The colors in the park are harmonious with each other, not like in big cities where they don't. John Hench Most people are satisfied with the junk food being sold as music. Billy Joel Other people sing in the shower, but I don't. Andrea Corr I am, and remain, passionate about news. Valerie Trierweiler I love boats. I can be on a boat for days. Olga Kurylenko Genre, to me, is not all that important, and it never has been. Amos Lee When you're cornered, there are two things you can do: move or figh

rise in behalf of the State of New York to propose a nomination with which the country and the Republican party can grandly win. Roscoe Conkling Cities have become places where we are controlled, by CCTV and other means, in the same way as machines are controlled. My works provide an imaginative space in which this can be challenged. It's like opening a window in a closed room. Antony Gormley Shortly thereafter, some friends encouraged me to try out for the Miss South Carolina World beauty pageant. To my surprise, I won - and was sent to New York City to compete nationally. Donna Rice I have always been independent. Mo Yan I think I'm dull. I would rather watch other people. Mia Kirshner I try to please everyone. Ang Lee I'm the comedic girl next door and a lot of fun.

is what decides the issue of war. B. H. Liddell Hart I'm more of a writer than an actor, and I used to say that I'm mostly an improviser, though I haven't improvised in awhile. Tina Fey I don't believe you need high capacity magazines to go hunt. If you have to use 100 rounds to shoot a deer, you're in trouble. Bob Menendez My public image is absolutely not a fair reflection of who I am. Mario Balotelli Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error. Marcus Tullius Cicero There's not a lot of flash about me. Anna Deavere Smith With my friends, I don't feel pressure to be someone other than who I am. Judith Guest I think that the Cold War was an exceptional and unnecessary piece of cruelty. Jane Smiley I think that's still the most primal fear of all humans: to be eaten. Victor Salva I do so many roles, I can't be typecast. Tommy Davidson

that went through it and we swam in the - you know, there was a lot of water around. Niagara Falls was about four or five miles away. James Cameron I've always been more slight, and I've always sort of felt that I needed to be protected, especially with so many rowdy brothers and sisters. Daphne Guinness My mom took me to see Carnal Knowledge and The Wild Bunch and all these kind of movies when I was a kid. Quentin Tarantino I'm finally looking older and inviting my wrinkles. John Stamos Neither do thou lust after that tawny weed tobacco. Ben Jonson I was considered an ugly duckling. Eartha Kitt The worst thing to call somebody is crazy. It's dismissive. Dave Chappelle I chase after inspiring stories. Vera Farmiga I don't understand what the big deal is with gay marriage. Get over it, people. Kristin Chenoweth I just want to make everyone happy. Marat Safin

always makes me happy. I don't mind interviews, either - I like doing them. John Lydon As with real reading, the ability to comprehend subtlety and complexity comes only with time and a lot of experience. If you don't adequately acquire those skills, moving out into the real world of real people can actually become quite scary. Jeffrey Kluger The FA Cup is important to everyone at the club. We have a great record in it and we want to win a trophy. David Gill You have to assert something about yourself in order to be yourself. Dennis Potter I grew up before there were strict leash laws. Beverly Cleary I loathe celebrity. I can't stand it. Elton John The tendency is to keep doing things the way you have done them. Maurice Strong Lonely people, in talking to each other, can make each other lonelier. Lillian Hellman I put myself in the hands of Christ, who is the true leader of the church. Pope Theodoros II I get really frustrated if people don't

it. My wife and I love to get in our little Wellcraft and go as far out to sea as we can, hopefully beyond land. That is the best thing you can ever do. It clears your psyche. John Lydon It's never paid to bet against America. We come through things, but its not always a smooth ride. Warren Buffett An individual voice can be heard in a choir that otherwise sings in unison. This is something that is not excused. Tahar Ben Jelloun Are you living for the things you are praying for? Austin Phelps When you have girl children they torture you! Pat Benatar I do smoke in real life. A lot. We're all smoking right now in fact. Michael Imperioli My mum and mad were both very generous, encouraging parents. Tony Abbott I tend to resist invitations to interpret my own fiction. J. M. Coetzee If after you read something, you connect with it, you want to do it. Colin Farrell A lot of players might be tired, but I feel nice and sharp. Robbie Keane

but I don't think any studio in a million years would make 'Thelma and Louise' right now. But there's so many other kinds of movies they won't make right now. Callie Khouri I had always thought of myself as fairly tough and fairly strong and fairly able to cope with anything. And then I had a series of personal losses. My mother died. A relationship that I was in came to end, and a variety of other things went awry. Andrew Solomon The result is - document destruction - we're really not going to be able to prove beyond a truth the negatives and some of the positive conclusions that we're going to come to. There will be always unresolved ambiguity here. David Kay I also learned to be more confident, to trust my instincts more. Lindsey Buckingham Everybody likes to win. Robert Duvall Everyone is just nicer to prettier people. Olivia Munn I've done a lot of that kind of work before, anyway, and I was in good hands. Marton Csokas Educatio

fear of weird sounds, fear that somebody is waiting for you in your closet. Those kinds of things stay with you no matter what age. R. L. Stine On what can we now place our hopes of solving the many riddles which still exist as to the origin and composition of cosmic rays? It must be emphasized here above all that to attain really decisive progress greater funds must be made available. Victor Francis Hess I always like to do the things that I think are right. I am not trying to be a model, I am trying to be myself and do the right things. If what I am doing is a model, or is an example, is the right example, I am very happy, but I don't pretend that. Rafael Nadal Directing takes a lot of time. Jeff Bridges Risk isn't a word in my vocabulary. It's my very existence. Slash Of course I love winning things; I can't tell you how much I enjoy it. Julian Fellowes I got bored of not feeling affectionate towards girls. Rod Stewart I'm not a very dark per

can only be addressed through collective action, and government is the vehicle for collective action in a democracy. Sherwood Boehlert One thing that was passed on from generation to generation in my family, over seven generations in 200 years, was never give up. That's the way we live. Nik Wallenda Bubbles are best identified by credit excesses, not valuation excesses. And there's no bigger credit excess than in China. James Chanos I went from being the Terminator to being the governator. Arnold Schwarzenegger The schedule of doing a live TV show every week is very difficult. Julia Louis-Dreyfus How do I feel about war? Well anybody I guess, I hope, I don't like it. Gerald Scarfe We didn't come here to become Washington, we came here to change Washington. Kristi Noem If you have ever been to couples therapy it's really, really challenging. Sandra Oh When you're wearing jeans, there's a shift in your center of gravity. Ray Stevenson

like a daily decision. Carnie Wilson We're kind of the comic relief of this movie because most of the stories are very dark. And that's why these plays were so great, because it's such a dark, dark universe that it becomes funny because it's just too pathetic. Caroline Dhavernas On a sea floor that looks like a sandy mud bottom, that at first glance might appear to be sand and mud, when you look closely and sit there as I do for a while and just wait, all sorts of creatures show themselves, with little heads popping out of the sand. It is a metropolis. Sylvia Earle I like to go out and see what a city's all about. Estella Warren To be a famously successful opera singer. I wanted that since I was eight. Danielle de Niese A lot of people believe what other people say. B. B. King I'm not disappointed with bronze. It's always good to come away with a medal. Bryan Volpenhein NATO has been a thread throughout my life. Madeleine Albright I b

no revelations about secrets in my life, and actually I have nothing to confess and I certainly do not ask for redemption and there is no reward for confessing that I expect. Aleksandar Hemon I started riding bikes when I was really young, but I stopped when I was 19 because my mother asked me to, so I stopped riding for 35 years and now I'm just addicted. It is my only addiction. Mark Boone Junior God gave us all exactly the same fingers, arms, legs, and feet, but in our different countries we divided them all a little differently as we feel it, do you understand? Ninette de Valois I just thought that it was magical having to glide across the ice. Debi Thomas I'm always in the theater seeing everything, good or bad. Logan Lerman I realized when I was 23 that I had never really tried anything. Trent Reznor Conductors are performers. Michael Tilson Thomas Love is more than one thing. Ziggy Marley I write from what's in my heart. I write what I love an

it does not appear smaller than a smaller object near. Leonardo da Vinci Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks. Warren Buffett I'm not a writer, but I'm very good at editing. That's my specialty. I can read something and tell you everything that's wrong with it and what's great about it and what needs to change, but it's hard for me to organize my thoughts. Tracy Pollan There is no place in my soul, no corner of my character, where God is not. Evelyn Underhill Wisconsin's a special place. Brett Favre I worked with some wonderful people, tried my best and I feel comfortable. Janet Reno The point of revenge is not in the completion but in the process. Park Chan-wook When I'm sleeping I do a lot of living. David Johansen The League is very well when sparrows shout, but no good at all when eagles fall out. Benito

I mean, who could've been more prepared for me? A publicist who's been there eight times. Getting there as a filmmaker was a completely surreal, different, unexpected experience. Ava DuVernay New England waters are some of my favorite - they are some of the richest waters because they are temperate waters and nutrient-rich, and therefore provide food for so many animals, from giant whales to sharks to everything else. Brian Skerry It's wild how chefs have become like rock stars. Todd English Work is no disgrace: it is idleness which is a disgrace. Hesiod The distance between who you are and who you might be is closing. Jan Chipchase I was a disruptive child. Allyson Felix I think I'm very curious about other people. I like to sit and eavesdrop, you know. Rachel Weisz My thoughts have been the thing I can rely on. Hilary Mantel Anytime someone says we're channelling 1960s, I'm like, I'm in, I love it. Lindsay Ellingson I would say I

people decorate. We do astounding work at Charm City Cakes and to do that you need people who think in astounding ways. Artists just think in different ways. Duff Goldman The most useful form of time travel would be to go back a year or two and rectify the mistakes we made. Matt Lucas Anyway, when I was a kid, I dutifully went to the Sydney Technical and Fine Arts College. Rod Taylor TV writing is different than other mediums, involving the writer. Tom Skerritt I have like fifteen televisions in my house. Jimmy Kimmel We do not think clearly about our moral obligations to animals. Gary L. Francione All my movies are achingly personal. Quentin Tarantino Whenever two good people argue over principles, they are both right. Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach Games, by nature, have more plot options and non-linear qualities than TV and film. David Duchovny Actually, I think most people accept the existence of qualia. David Chalmers

was Jewish. Knowledge about other religions can help you understand your own better. I think it's kind of hypocritical to believe one thing and don't know about any others. Mandy Moore You can't take a play someone has directed and do whatever you want with it. John Malkovich I write plays because writing dialogue is the only respectable way of contradicting yourself. I put a position, rebut it, refute the rebuttal, and rebut the refutation. Tom Stoppard I love Barbados, it's really relaxing. Wayne Rooney Billions of people don't practice a religion at all. Richard Gere I'm uncomfortable with the focus on the poet and not on the poem. Yusef Komunyakaa No one wants to read a math book. Erin Duffy I've had to work on being a slow talker. Nicholas Brendon I didn't have a record player. Harrison Birtwistle There's a lot of bad things going on but I didn't do nothing. Manute Bol

ones that are badly written - then it's completely up to you to come up with something that is interesting to the story and myself as an actor. Richard Schiff We don't always know what we're doing. We often just get excited, put something down, and say, 'Oh, neat'. Tina Weymouth Clouds do not really look like camels or sailing ships or castles in the sky. They are simply a natural process at work. So too, perhaps, are our lives. Roger Ebert I'm a Scorpio. I have different mood swings. Craig Robinson A star may guarantee business, but the tradeoff is a very short run. Harold Prince It is quite lovely being single, and I much prefer it. Anna Held Love isn't an emotion or an instinct - it's an art. Mae West I like to encourage people who are entrepreneurs-in-waiting. Phil Bredesen I was paid $8 or $9 million for 'Evan Almighty.' I didn't want that money. Tom Shadyac I've never taken a job on anything I didn't w

When you're not quite sure where you fit in, you try to be too many parts of the story. You gild the lily. I see it all the time. John C. McGinley It's a matter of reducing the work to its very simplest possible state, eliminating all of the things that lead away from the guts of the work, the thing the work is really about. Anything that's there must build towards its over-all organization and meaning. Paul Cullen I was from North Carolina, so as a youngster all of my mind games about golf were always, 'If I make this I win The Masters, if I hole this par putt I win The Masters.' So it was a great thrill to play there. Raymond Floyd I really believe in finding new ways to distribute my music. Prince My life was very Japanese. Bryan Clay I was fair-skinned in a country that's about the outdoors. Nicole Kidman I'm not a big fan of rehearsing. Brendan Fehr Wind is a floating wave of air, whose undulation continually varies. Vitruvius I

It's hard for me to admit that I can't understand something, let alone not be in charge of it. Mary Karr Banks are slowly but surely lending again, and never again will taxpayers foot the bill for Wall Street's excesses. In case we forgot, that was the change we believed in. That was the change we fought for. That was the change President Obama delivered. Rahm Emanuel The truth is I have had, for whatever reason, several movie-star boyfriends. Emma Forrest I try my hardest to push the point that I am a feminist. Jenna Jameson We're not getting any younger. Donald Fagen Home is where I work, and I work everywhere. Alfred Nobel Luckily, West End audiences seem to rather like very old people. Wendy Hiller My first ever stage performance was in Edinburgh in 1960. Davy Jones I have my detractors, no doubt about it. I look at it as a compliment. Ken Harrelson To me, crazy is not someone who has a creative vision and will fight for it. Amy Sherman-P

body, mind, and spirit, your natural beauty comes out. Christy Turlington I've heard other gay people say when they were growing up they felt 'foreign.' Growing up, I was able to label these feelings as: 'I'm a Protestant.' It wasn't until I left, I thought: 'Oh, those weren't Protestant feelings.' Graham Norton What matters to me is my own estimation, and I'm very tough on myself. I need to be proud of what I've done and I work hard for it. I had a very Christian upbringing... lots of guilt. A good thing, It keeps you sane. Jean Dujardin The first lover is kept a long while, when no offer is made of a second. Francois de La Rochefoucauld Your dressing area should be your private space. Kim Cattrall I am an armor officer. Eric Shinseki I do all my own make-up, it takes me 10 minutes. Joan Collins I'm sick of not having the courage to be an absolute nobody. J. D. Salinger I believe a lot in monogamy, let me tell

a ballerina who sings by the way. Jane Seymour The writer has two kinds of faith: actual writing and sitting openly. Have faith in your personal effort or sweat. And faith in God, or whatever you want to call it. Then the voices will come. Faith is the big deal. Suzan-Lori Parks I've come to understand that there's always something positive, even in a negative situation. Leif Garrett My favorite moments in the show are when I stand by myself and sing. Justin Timberlake Music fills the infinite between two souls. Rabindranath Tagore Few characters in history are indispensable. Albert Bushnell Hart I hate publicists and publicity.

Marisa Berenson I'll admit - I was honored to be on the cover of Time. Ethel Merman

have in prisons and the criminal element, and what we do as a society with it. I've always been touched by the idea of criminality. Elizabeth Strout One of my biggest pet peeves is well-dressed designers. If you spend that much time thinking about your own clothes, you're not spending enough time thinking about what you're designing. Joseph Altuzarra For me, 'Rent' was all about coming out of myself, finding out who I was, learning the power I could have as a performer. Idina Menzel I am a loyal American, and I love my country. Steven Hatfill I wanted to see if I could write a good book. James D. Watson The perfection in theater is that it's over the second it's done.

Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach Hollywood has treated me well. Paz Vega Entertainment and art are not isolated. Martin Kippen

the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. Karl Marx There's enough of a willingness in the West to do sympathetic movies about Arab roles.

Jennifer Morrison I'm very proud of the auto industry in Michigan. Rick Snyder The older I get, the more I embrace who I am. K. D. Lang I sleep with my baby blanket, Kiki, that my nana made for me.

Philip Greenspun I want to touch the world through my performances on screen but also off screen. Annie Ilonzeh My aunt and uncle are clearly civilians. Jimmy Kimmel

of densely packed people lined the road, shouting and waving hats and handkerchiefs as we flew by them. Fanny Kemble I'm not a big believer in a thing called luck. I believe it has a lot to do with fate and just really having a vision of the way you would see your life. Marla Maples I think maybe because I do other things and they mean as much to me as movie acting, it takes the onus off me. It's not the end of the world if I can't get a film job, or if a movie doesn't turn out well - even though I don't like it when that happens. Viggo Mortensen Most working days I can be at my desk for nine hours a day. Roddy Doyle I am selfish, but that's an attribute that all artists possess.

Marie Dressler Here in America we're doing the most wonderful crafts. Beatrice Wood I don't wan

Yes, it is ugly. Michael Steele Yes, I was in love with my husband at first sight and still am. We have the most solid relationship. Catherine Zeta-Jones The space and light up there in Norfolk is wonderfully peaceful. I find myself doing funny things like gardening, and cooking, which I rarely do in London. Jeremy Northam Documents create a paper reality we call proof. Mason Cooley Youth should be a savings bank. Sophie Swetchine Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel. Augustus Hare In hospital, people should be able to have time to themselves. Zaha Hadid God, I always just think of myself as a jeans and T-shirt kind of person. Joan Jett We do not praise others, ordinarily, but in order to be praised ourselves. Francois de La Rochefoucauld Let me know myself; let others guess at me. Joseph Hall

such a pleasure to see how they've embodied the characters and brought them to life. Suzanne Collins Whether it's on the streets of Philadelphia or New York or Chicago or Atlanta or in a classroom in Newtown, Connecticut, people want to be safe. Michael Nutter Today, our actions must be motivated only by our intense desire to achieve a just and lasting peace. The compassion and charity of the American people should be reflected in this legislation, though sadly, they are silenced. Nick Rahall Being a mother is probably the most important thing in my life right now. Halle Berry To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work. Mary Oliver Reality TV is a totally different animal than the infomercial world. Kevin Harrington The craving for information is so huge now, and it can be marketed at such a rapid rate. Clint Eastwood There is no such thing as a dangerous woman; there are only susceptible men. Joseph Wood Krutch I'm from Wisconsin, and I l

shoot what he shoots, and that's such a cliched idea of what the experience is. Of course they're engaged, and they're not distanced. Michael Mann Gypsy was the name my brother gave a pet turtle he had. I always thought it was so peculiar. Joel Hodgson I take smack because I enjoy it. I enjoy all it makes me feel. I don't do it to be in with the in crowd. I can rock out with it. Johnny Thunders Nothing brings people together more, then mutual hatred. Henry Rollins For me, my awakening came when I was kidnapped. Patty Hearst There's moments where I want to break down and cry, but not give up. Ashlee Simpson The collapse of Russia was the second great event of 1917. Kelly Miller Who I am on stage is very, very different to who I am in real life. Beyonce Knowles When you find your opponent's weak spot, hammer it. John Heisman I peaked early. I was told I'd missed my boat. Moon Unit Zappa

to art - or at least people call it that. Frank Gehry And the whole thing is that you're treated like a step-child. Here it was down here, everything in the black, because they were stealing, basically. Stealing from us old country boys down here. Waylon Jennings So from an angry lawman's mouth, the Outlaw Motorcyclists were born. Chuck Zito I never thought I would end up being the Senator from New York. Hillary Clinton Doubt must be no more than vigilance, otherwise it can become dangerous. Georg C. Lichtenberg I'm not trying to be fashionable. Never was! Dolly Parton Somewhere down the line everyone must pay for their misdeeds. Paul McCartney I go to bed with men, not boys. Linda Fiorentino I love home cooking, and I'm not a great one for fast food. Bear Grylls The viewer must bring their own view to a photograph. Fay Godwin

flow. His chaotic ideas seemed to me just the right thing for a poet. Passion! He was always on the right side. He may be wrongheaded, but his heart was always on the right side. He wrote beautiful poetry. Chinua Achebe I think if you want to get to know me, you should come and see a show. A person might get to see more sides of me. Nina Arianda Money is the most corrosive aspect of life today because it means that all attention to detail is forgotten.

practical in that it provides some guidance as to where OO is likely to be successful. Bjarne Stroustrup There's always a Justin Bieber. Ever since I've been around, there's always been one of him. Kid Rock In general, good tools for staying in sync just haven't been built and made available to the world. Justin Rosenstein This gives us more time to attend the inner need. Satish Kumar Some formulas are too complex and I don't want anything to do with them. Bob Dylan John McCain has become the de facto running mate of George W. Bush. Mark Shields He that lives to live forever, never fears dying. William Penn To marry is to get a binocular view of life. Dean Inge Obviously comedic styles do change. Larry David Things like depression and obesity are global challenges. Jane McGonigal

but you need to forget about it and go forward because that's the way it works in our world. Amelie Mauresmo I mean, if we try to 'fluff up' 'Nikita?' We're done. If we try to 'fluff' 'Nikita,' I don't want to be involved and I don't want to watch the show. Maggie Q I love watching old movies, reading and having some good meals. I have a very close group of friends and family. I try to spend time with the ones that I love and work as hard as possible. Justin Bartha I'm your full blown charismatic evangelical freak daddy. Stephen Baldwin He lives most life whoever breathes most air. Elizabeth Barrett Browning The difference is too nice - Where ends the virtue or begins the vice. Alexander Pope I'm used to writing stories with a beginning a middle and an end in four minutes. Steve Earle The thing about American politics, as I've learned, is there is no choice.

Yohan Blake I seem to have very few casual readers, only passionate and appreciative ones. Mitch Albom For me, the filmmaking has to be about the dramaturgy. Neil Jordan

he got his information on this topic from his millionaire supporters. For the average working family, these are trying economic times. Jose Serrano I love to read. I love to stretch. In the morning, I get up, and if I'm not in a hurry, I will lie on the floor on a rug, look through some books and magazines, and maybe listen to music and try to do stretching exercises to tune up. Jackson Browne I don't know much about only children. I was the middle one of three, and if ever I was alone with mum and dad, it was a rare moment. Elizabeth Hurley Of course, Americans have no monopoly of patriotic enthusiasm and good faith. Herbert Croly My speed is my greatest asset. Peter Bondra I don't like to talk about myself that much.

Jennifer Westfeldt We never worry about th

help us communicate, but it has the opposite effect of isolating us. Tracy Chapman I often look ridiculous in Japan. There's really no way to eat in Japan, particularly kaiseki in a traditional ryokan, without offending the Japanese horribly. Every gesture, every movement is just so atrociously wrong, and the more I try, the more hilarious it is. Anthony Bourdain I started taking music lessons and singing when I was about ten.

Val Kilmer You feel you can pretend to be young until you're 50, but after that, what happens and how do you approach it? Sharon Horgan Learning what you don't want to do is pretty valuable, it may be as valuable as figuring out what it is you do want to do. Joe Flanigan I'm afraid of flying.

Yani Tseng In my writing, as much as I could, I tried to find the good, and praise it. Alex Haley This Congress is simply not doing its job under Republican leadership. Jim Cooper

is nothing worse than being at the top of your game; you have so much to give but do not have the platform to do this. Michael York Actors were exploited no less by the capitalist managers than they were by the state. Bela Lugosi Some great people are leaders and others are more lucky, in the right place at the right time. I'd put myself in the latter category.
