The results have shown. Andy Roddick When I first started making music, it was learning other people's songs and putting them onto four-track. Like Beatles songs and stuff.

because people didn't support it. Sean Paul Steve Jobs is the most epic entrepreneur of all time.

a power which is the principal threat to our democracy.

That was the technique that Jerry used, and I just picked it up.

nothing to change it, look before they cross the road. Stephen Hawking Your success story is a bigger story than whatever you're trying to say on stage. Success makes life easier.

Sharad Pawar I've been through so many different political races. Mary Fallin I was playing catch with the European audience. Charles Olson It usually takes me a year to do a book.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb Fashion is more about feel than science. Pharrell Williams I just don't get boys; I don't really get men. Cheryl Cole

story about female boxers, and I couldn't get that going in my mind. I don't know exactly where the idea of just a man pitting himself against a robot boxer came from. Richard Matheson If Iraq and Afghanistan have taught us anything in recent history, it is the unpredictability of war and that these things are easier to get into than to get out of, and, frankly, the facile way in which too many people talk about, 'Well, let's just go attack them.'

Those families will be fortunate who, in the last days, have an adequate supply of food because of their foresight and ability to produce their own. Ezra Taft Benson Many of the technologies that are now racing ahead most rapidly, replacing human workers in factories and offices with machines, making stockholders richer and workers poorer, are indeed tending to accentuate the existing inequalities in the distribution of wealth. Freeman Dyson There are many things that are essential to arriving at true peace of mind, and one of the most important is faith, which cannot be acquired without prayer.

During the summer, we get ourselves worked into a tizzy that our children will forget their fractions. Darell Hammond America is not nearly done. We're only in the beginning. Who knows who we will be? Who knows... what color we will be? It is all something that, maybe, our descendants - if they survive that long - will see. Alice Walker I believe in nothing.

Anita Roddick I still learn, but I think it's the best thing in life to have a kid. Cristiano Ronaldo With one decision, Judge Sotomayor changed the entire dispute.

Vivienne Westwood My dad left when I was a little boy and I grew up with my mother's family.

William Levy I don't know of any issues associated with alcohol before flight. Ellen Ochoa I'm good with a script. Mayim Bialik When men destroy their old gods they will find new ones to take their place. Pearl S. Buck Nothing gives us courage more readily than the desire to avoid looking like a damn fool. Dean Koontz Life is full of happiness and tears; be strong and have

changed. It's neurological. To me, this is a kind of magic. Francesca Lia Block I've never done anything so political before.

They would answer him back, and I say, 'That's a great idea.' Sylvia Robinson It is a shock to us in the twentieth century to discover, from observations science has made, that the fundamental mechanisms of life cannot be ascribed to natural selection, and therefore were designed.

yes to yourself, even when you are uncertain. Phyllis George You are responsible to each other because when you win a game of football, you only need eight players to perform well.

Rickey Henderson Well, we were all in high school and we got together, and in college - we were in art college together. Alice Cooper When I was younger, I was ready to go off at any time. My wife, Linda, and I would go out to the Limelight in New York, and I would see people and be able to freeze them with a look. People were even too scared of me to tell me that people were scared of me. Johnny Ramone I think most musicians do like to have a laugh. Neil Innes Next to God we are nothing. To God we are Everything. Marcus Tullius Cicero Positivity is such a high predicator of success rates. Shawn Achor I say the one thing about luck is you can't really count on it. Ron Livingston Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win. Jonathan Kozol Music's cyclical. There's always that next generation that alw

say, 'Let us worship God.' If that ceases to be the primary thing I do in terms of my energy, my imagination, and the way I structure my life, then I no longer function as a pastor. Eugene H. Peterson I didn't put out this album because I wanted everybody to know I was grown up. I'm 21 and that's not grown up. Justin Timberlake I might be in an airport, late or angry with a ticket person, and I'm going to sort of check myself, because part of me is seen as Eric Camden.

If there is something that you want to draw, to make, then I think you should pursue it and not let anybody tell you that you can't do it. Brian Selznick Homer was able to give us no information relating to the truth, for he wrote of human rather than divine things. Lactantius The aspects of patriotism that hush dissent, encourage going along, and sanction comfortable distancing and compliance with what is indecent and unacceptable... those aspects are too fundamental to ignore or gloss over.

to accept what I discovered. Now, I'm in the enjoyment stage of that process and it's a happy place. Jolene Blalock Patty Griffin is iconic, and there's no other word to really describe her. She is iconic for a lot of people - not only for me but for a lot of fans. Her voice is one of a kind, and she's such an important figure in the American music scene. Dierks Bentley Here's the thing about movies, all movies end up on television. That's their life. Whether you like it or not, I don't care how much money you spend on it, or how big or broad the film is, or who the actors are in it, eventually it's all coming out of the box.

find myself get ting a little defensive. People come along and I'm waiting for that first question. Hugh Leonard It's actually come as quite a shock to learn just how many people don't like me.

face and address those issues, especially to include younger men and boys. Annie Lennox I've met and sketched most of the great athletes from the past five decades and their movement, grace and energy have kept me captivated over the years.

Tim Daly What you're getting excited about is not A face, but a feminine face. Andrew Cohen The only way the French are going in is if we tell them we found truffl

but no serious economist thinks we can. You don't expect dentists to be able to forecast how many teeth you'll have when you're 80. You expect them to give good advice and fix problems. Tim Harford I think, because I'm an artist, part of my job is to be a barometer, an antenna. It's in the air and it resonates with a lot of people to lighten up. Jane Siberry I love what I do. I was given the most incredible gift that can be given to anyone. I could never imagine a world without music, and I feel grateful that I've been given the ability to share that.

Max Weber I think of myself not just as a dreamer, but as a dream chaser. Sarah Brightman

attention to the food like they should have, we wanted to just pay attention to the food and service. Paul Prudhomme That's the danger of having too much success. You lose that magic, that feeling of not being in control, which I feel now, it's too controlled. Stephen Dorff One night stands are not for me. I think it's gross when you just give it up.

Erika Slezak A team sport is not very good for me, because I can't take losing. Donovan Bailey I'd do the same things, but I'd be a little more quiet. Jack Whittaker I don't set trends.

recognized for what they are, and that they are bearable only if somehow they may be redeemed. Simon Conway Morris The three great problems of this century; the degradation of man in the proletariat, the subjection of women through hunger, the atrophy of the child by darkness. Victor Hugo My dad is good at sticking with stuff and he has a strong work ethic, which is imbued in me. Growing up, he would constantly ask what I was doing and was I achieving anything.

Kathryn Bigelow To be an actor you have to be a child. Paul Newman

look up, you can get up. Let your reason get you back up. Les Brown Most people didn't have the bandwidth to download whole albums. And so it brought back this cherry picking idea that the audience would focus on certain songs and possibly be the impetus behind what eventually got on AM radio: the single or whatever.

Pink Movies are visual, aural, they involve people, and life, and ideas and art, they are so elastic. They can hold anything, withstand everything, and make you feel anything. Other arts can do that, but movies are the only ones that can incorporate other media into cinema. Wesley Morris Myself, Eric Wareheim, and Jason Woliner decided to start a Food Club where the three of us go to restaurants with a couple of other people.

The media creates these dramas, and that's not what's happening in my life. Bridget Moynahan If I thought about it, I could be bitter, but I don't feel like being bitter.

you something that you may find useful in your own journey through life. Eleanor Roosevelt Music is my way out. I keep things locked up and never say anything. I guess in order to say something to one person, I have to sing it to a couple of thousand. It doesn't make for healthy relationships. Florence Welch I don't care for horror and fantasy films. I never go to see them in the theater. I know I've played in many of them, but I didn't do them because of their genre - I did them just because I loved their scripts.
