a lack of numeracy in the public discussion of energy. Where people do use numbers, they select them to sound big and score points in arguments, rather than to aid thoughtful discussion. David J. C.

I find that their enthusiasm, dedication, willingness to take huge risks and desire to make a dramatic impact quite inspiring.

other side of that translucent, semitransparent surface. Bill Viola It is quite hard to relax in London.

Because in the same way that outcome of the U.S. elections will change the course of events there and around the world, so too do politics here in Britain. Lucy Powell Democracy in Yemen did not stop, instead it is in a continuous development, there is no other way to follow rather than democracy, it is our national way for building up our country, it was not imposed on us by others.

the natural marts of supply and demand. Chester A. Arthur The very necessity of bringing our armament up to a certain level as rapidly as possible must place in the foreground the idea of as large returns as possible in foreign exchange and therewith the greatest possible assurance of raw material supplies, through exporting.

have played those parts. I don't know if there needs to be another version of those shows. Idina Menzel Obsessional does not necessarily mean sexual obsession, not even obsession for this, or for that in particular; to be an obsessional means to find oneself caught in a mechanism, in a trap increasingly demanding and endless.

I post their results sometimes on my site. Alex Chiu The idea is to work and to experiment.

Keith Thibodeaux Three years into the war, tens of thousands of American troops remain targets of a growing Iraqi insurgency. Jan Schakowsky To be sure, if you watch CNBC all day long you'll pick up some interesting news about particular companies and the economy as a whole.

taken long to tell them. Maybe I was just easily pleased. Len G. Murray We meet before the movie and she gives you charts with sounds on them and makes a tape of examples.

Graydon Carter Every Southerner, I think, knows people like Bill Clinton, maybe not quite as smart and maybe not quite as liberal, but kind of a glad-handing, country-club yuppie Southerner.

James Nasmyth The first time I was in his office was when they called me in to tell me they had changed my name. I had a feeling that if I'd gone along with the name they'd chosen, I'd never be seen again. I'd be swallowed up by that name, because it was a false name: Kit Marlowe. Kim Novak The internet could be a very positive step towards education, organisation and participation in a meaningful society. Noam Chomsky I know my own heart to be entirely English. Princess Anne It is up to us to make the right choice and the right decisions. Karolina Kurkova I wore that same shirt yesterday playing golf. There goes the Nike account. Leslie Nielsen I don't think it's the role of the prime minister to court the press. John Major To listen to your own silence is the key to comedy. Elayne Boosler I always write out of a need to read so

Newman, Gary Oldman - maybe Tom Cruise. I wanna play his brother in something - so call my agent! Scott Wolf I think that if the novel's task is to describe where we find ourselves and how we live now, the novelist must take a good, hard look at the most central facts of contemporary life - technology and science. Richard Powers Probably only an art-worlder like me could assign deeper meaning to something as simple and silly as Tebowing. But, to us, anytime people repeat a stance or a little dance, alone or together, we see that it can mean something. Imagistic and unspoken language is our thing. Jerry Saltz People just want to have access to all of the world's music. Daniel Ek If I can be cruel; I'm not a big fan of the Audi R8, actually. Richard Hammond You know the good part about all those executions in Texas? Fewer Texans. George Carlin I'd love to work with Joan Cusack again - I'm obsessed with Joan Cusack. Amanda Peet I love no woman, for

love is out there anymore, but it is. And I think the minute you stop looking for it is when it comes for you. Kristen Bell You're not going to have a 1.000 batting average, but the way you get votes is, you just push and you push. I'm not afraid to do that. Tim Kaine Oh, definitely and I talk about all the things that I really needed to make me happy at that point in time were outside of Mississippi, and now all the things that I need to make me happy are back there. Sela Ward And exciting buildings are fine periodically. Minoru Yamasaki I mean, technology is amoral. It has no morality. Robert Ballard The simple fact is that what you see on the screen is pretty much real. Simon Pegg I'm not one of those who wants to purge our society of our Christian history. Richard Dawkins Dick Van Dyke spent most of his time setting everybody else up. Dave Foley Consumers want a better world, not just better widgets. Simon Mainwaring We can overcome evil with

part of our culture, and in so doing he kicked out a flying buttress that had been essential for holding up our cathedral of faith. Tony Campolo After shows my face feels dirty with makeup and sweat, especially in the smaller venues, so it feels good to get back to the bus and smooth it away. Sometimes you need something alcohol-based, especially on tour when you don't always get a chance to keep washing your face all the time. Ellie Goulding The thing that makes reading and writing suspect in the eyes of the market economy is that it's not corrupted. Richard Powers King Crimson will soon be touring parts of Europe. Adrian Belew Clouds symbolize the veils that shroud God. Honore de Balzac You demand respect and you'll get it. First of all, you give respect. Mary J.

eat your food with, has some deeper symbolic truth, reality. Anish Kapoor God, George Bush makes me want to slash my wrists. He's so embarrassing I have to leave the room when he's on the news. What a monkey. Margot Kidder As long as I own this football team and long after I'm gone, they will always be the Washington Redskins. Jack Kent Cooke If there is one thing I am, it's always right. Ted Nugent I'm lucky in having found the perfect partner to spend my life with. Sara Paretsky Financial crises require governments. Timothy Geithner I am still seeking to become firmly established as an actor. DeForest Kelley Acting can be an amazingly cathartic thing - especially for young girls. Ellen Pompeo I just want to stay in my hotel room, read my book. I enjoy that private time. Hope Solo I get letters from little girls begging me to adopt them. Kim Kardashian

very cliquey and I'm super shy, so it was hard to make friends. Dylan O'Brien 'Grand Theft Auto', in its deification of antisocial behavior, is where I heap the most of my scorn. Nolan Bushnell My ace in the hole as a human being used to be my capacity for remembering birthdays. I worked at it. Whenever I made a new friend, I made a point of finding out his or her birthday early on, and I would record it in my Filofax calendar. Susan Orlean Talk about a dream, try to make it real. Bruce Springsteen I think with any songwriter the first 1,000 songs are always terrible. Graham Russell I feel like I'm climbing as well, if not better, than ever. Aron Ralston Whoever neglects the arts when he is young has lost the past and is dead to the future. Sophocles Quality attracts quality. People want to be on a good show. Oscar Nunez I know what wanting and craving adventure feels like, I can really relate to that. Emile Hirsch Writing is a lonely busi

unselfishness, thinking of others first; when you learn to live for others, they will live for you. Paramahansa Yogananda The first day was memorable for me. I walked into this studio with these giant eyes, slowly met everybody and got to see the story boards and sketches of our characters. I got the see the sets and was just amazed that all this was to be something we all were going to be part of for almost a year. Kyle Schmid I can assure you the hemorrhaging has stopped. I asked remaining caucus members if they adhered to the party program, if they would stay in the PQ and that they would be by my side. They all said yes. Pauline Marois It's very difficult to read a book on your computer. Paulo Coelho I believe people should live full lives and not settle for anything less. Jack Canfield Pressed into service means pressed out of shape. Robert Frost There are, I believe, many more false confessions to murders than true confessions. Bill James I was diagnosed

economic power. Jose Saramago I think it was T.S. Eliot who talked about good poetry being felt before it's understood. I believe that. There are some bands where I love their lyrics but I don't have a clue what they're on about. Marcus Mumford The idea of withholding a massive secret is obviously quite exciting to some people. It is also the basis of much classic drama, of course, from Sophocles onwards. Lynne Truss A wise man never loses anything, if he has himself. Michel de Montaigne Memorials become relics if they do not stir our modern conscience. Henry Waxman My parents were truly severe. Miuccia Prada Our dog died from licking our wedding picture.

Allan Houston It's an important fact of life, war. Jeff Goldblum

made there, aside from fashion, were things that I was trying to express in a social conscious way. Gordon Parks But so far, you know who's been violating the nuclear nonproliferation pact day and night? Those who signed it. Iran, Iraq, Libya and Iran violates it while calling for Israel's destruction and racing to develop atomic weapons to that end. Benjamin Netanyahu It's really important to me to keep growing as a writer, to look for new challenges and be harshly critical of my own work in order to learn and tell better stories. J. Michael Straczynski There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love. Martin Luther King, Jr. I worked for a publishing company in Hollywood. Mac Davis The media cause more problems than they do good. Chris Kyle I think the greater responsibility, in terms of morality, is where leadership begins. Norman Lear Onstage, I find absolutely nothing but exhilaration in not talking. Teller Retirement is not in m

master courses in energy, writing, communications, and engineering and get a credential? Anant Agarwal I'm a proud American - becoming a citizen in 1988 was one of the most profoundly moving occasions in my life; I'm a former Texan and a recent Californian. Abraham Verghese We went to see all the shows. American musical theater and jazz were very big. Carly Simon A happy wife is a happy life. Gavin Rossdale Purity is the feminine, truth the masculine of honor. David Hare Japanese food makes me feel particularly good.

forget, you are just looking so much. Annie Leibovitz Every time I try to retire, or even think of retiring from acting, my agent comes up with a script. Anthony Hopkins Two presidents pursued human rights policies that were serious and effective: Reagan and George W. Bush. They understood that American support for human rights activists is a moral imperative for us and also makes the world safer for us. Elliott Abrams Violence is the repartee of the illiterate. Alan Brien Also a portion of my sales go directly to Greenpeace. Rick Danko Mine were informal mentors. They were all in my working life. Laurence Fishburne Unattractive people are more obsessed with looks. Rae Dawn Chong The idea of sitting at home, not making music, just makes me want to throw up. Liam Gallagher It's fun for me to play people that are just kind of odd. Kristen Wiig It's just acting. I take acting seriously but up to a point. Tom Sizemore

Johnny Appleseed, Jim Bowie, Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, Charles Lindbergh, my pantheon of favorite heroes. Then I would write my own things and sew them together and try to make my own book. Douglas Brinkley I don't actually have to think very hard when I'm writing. I mean, there are times where it's a task, and you have to plug away and plug away. But then there are times when a song writes itself in 15 minutes, and you're just struggling to keep up with it. Patty Griffin Commercial success still hasn't come to an artist that isn't signed to a record label. There are very few artists that can succeed without the help of a record label. The role of the record label is still required, it's still necessary. Edgar Bronfman, Jr. I have a greater goal - to empower young people through music education. Ruben Studdard I never wear sneakers. I don't feel comfortable in them. Max Irons I don't throw things or yell. John Malkovich I can be

from a scientific cosmology, and we should resist the temptation, which sometimes scientists give in to, to try to assimilate the concepts of theology to the concepts of science. John Polkinghorne Maybe we should have known that night in Denver that things that begin with plywood Greek columns and artificial smoke typically don't end well. Maybe the Hollywood stars and the glamour blinded us a little: you thought it was the glare, some of us thought it was a halo. Artur Davis Nevada was hit hardest by the recession - highest unemployment, highest foreclosure rate, highest bankruptcy rate. Brian Sandoval Everything has to do with geography. Judy Martz I can run free here. I can go back to being a kid. Bernard Lagat So the search for a father in Central Station is also a search for a country. Walter Salles If everyone played the ukulele, the world would be a better place. Jake Shimabukuro I am shyer than most people think. Kristen Wiig In order to know virtue,

Like Les Savy Fav, who have had me on stage, and I have played on their record. There are a couple of bands like that. Yo La Tengo has invited me to play with them. Fred Armisen I know this president. And I can tell you that he cares deeply about the next generation of young women in this country - his daughters, and everyone's daughters. President Obama had the courage to stand with Sandra Fluke. Without hesitation, he defended her right to tell her story. Nancy Keenan It breaks even. We lose ten, twenty grand every year. But then the people who are working say, Look, I'll kick this back in, I don't need to take this profit share. It's very cooperative. John Zorn Above all, ignore the audience. Minnie Maddern Fiske Shakespeare feels very natural to me. Bebe Neuwirth I have not had any serious non-academic job. Amartya Sen You get a timeless cool card in New York. Vin Diesel It's so crazy to look at your life and see how far you've come. Kr

in quite a different spirit from traditional grammar; for instance, the study of inscriptions and their language. But not yet in the spirit of linguistics. Ferdinand de Saussure I think if we're going to live in this - in this world - in this technological world where information can be disseminated so quickly, we have to be serious and take firm, strong action against those who are putting American lives at risk. Because this will put people's lives at risk. Peter T. King 'Harry Potter' opened so many doors for young adult literature. It really did convince the publishing industry that writing for children was a viable enterprise. And it also convinced a lot of people that kids will read if we give them books that they care about and love. Rick Riordan People think if you look after yourself you're being selfish, you know. Gisele Bundchen I'm the Magoo of actresses, very accident-prone. Peta Wilson Johnny Carson started the jokes about me and Mar

would say that this style of fiction summed up and exhausted all the good that fiction could give and do. George Saintsbury So, if you look at what's common among some of the companies I have, including the Four Seasons, NewsCorp, George V, the Plaza, these are all irreplaceable brands in their own fields. Al-Waleed bin Talal I learned the songs and played the gigs, and then they called me about a month later. They told me they were like super stoked on me and asked me to join their band. Travis Barker No man is good enough to govern any woman without her consent. Susan B. Anthony I'm completely aware of the fact that I'm a control freak. Paul Thomas Anderson I'm the father of four daughters. Harvey Weinstein I guess the issue for me is to keep things dynamic. Robert Downey, Jr. You can't inspire people if you are going to be uninspiring. Robert Reich I don't like to take a lot of stuff since I'm really sensitive to medications. Kate

it's not who I am. I lead quite a pleasant life and I'm able to divorce a perceived reality from my actual experience of life. Ben Affleck A lot of people that I've had around me have been my closest friends since junior high, back when we were exchanging each other's clothes, staying at each other's houses. That was before I had anything. Paul Pierce I'm sure lots of actors and creative people go through this, where you have some weeks where it's all going according to plan and some weeks where you're super frustrated. Zach Braff I love all things Christmas. Samantha Barks Denzel Washington is someone I look up to. Dayo Okeniyi We live in very, very, very dangerous times.

watched all over the world, it's the most popular sport in probably 90% of the countries, and then with the World Cup, you have the most viewed tournament of any sport in the world. Claudio Reyna I'm not chasing money, so I'm not looking at just trying to stretch out a deal artificially just to have a certain number. Derek Fisher Musicians now find themselves in the unlikely position of being legitimate. At least the IRS thinks so. Billy Joel If a woman doesn't chase a man a little, she doesn't love him. E. W. Howe I'm really interested in the nondefinitive element of abstraction. Julie Mehretu I think that 'Twilight' is so big that nothing can affect it. Judi Shekoni Everything I do is the environment.

the Chief Cabinet Secretary. Shinzo Abe As a young man, every bone in my body wanted to pick up a machine gun and kill Germans. And yet I had absolutely no reason to do so. Certainly nobody invited me to do the job. But that's what I felt that I was trained to do. Now no part of my upbringing was militaristic. Pete Townshend The fact people think that when you sell a lot of books you are not a serious writer is a great insult to the readership. I get a little angry when people try to say such a thing. Isabel Allende You didn't think of angels as white or black. They were angels. Clarence Thomas Don't plan too hard, because something much better might be out there. Candy Crowley And I was desolate and sick of an old passion. Ernest Dowson Lucy is such a perfectionist. Desi Arnaz Animation had been done before, but stories were never told. Marc Davis Every four years in the presidential election, some new precedent is broken. Nate Silver In a relati

write in a fluid way - one solid scene doesn't have to fall on another solid scene, you can just have a fragment that then dovetails into another one that took place 30 years apart from it. Kazuo Ishiguro I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it, on the inside. F. Scott Fitzgerald As someone who's been covering presidential campaigns since the 1950s, I have no delusions about political reporting. Candidates bargaining access to get the kind of news coverage they want is nothing new. Dan Rather I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man. Orson Welles I don't want to be thought of as wholesome. Julie Andrews Fate determines many things, no matter how we struggle. Otto Weininger As for dialogue, I think it keeps things moving to cut to the chase. Jerry B. Jenkins I always claim that the writer has done 90 percent of the director's work. Harold Ramis God's wounds cure, sin's kisses kill. W

being there for the husband, being home, trying to do it all. Julianna Margulies You know how a lot of people say, 'I lose myself in music,' or 'I like to escape,' but I want my music to be more of an awakening. I want it to make people to be aware of life; I don't want my music to be a distraction. I want to light a path. Jhene Aiko Sometimes I think I don't need a vacation because I do what I like to do. I am very fortunate! Enric Sala Oh, in France you can't defame an idea, only a person. Pierre Dukan Syria is geographically and politically in the middle of the Middle East.

Tara Reid Primitive societies without religion have never been found. William Dean Howells I don't usually drink caffeine so that when I need it, it actually does something. Anna Kendr

know what suits your body and personality then your individual style emerges naturally. Hilary Rhoda I really like doing the laundry, because I succeed at it. But I loathe putting it away. It is already clean. Jenny Holzer There are some things that you can fulfil with money, but at the end of the day these are not the things that make you happy. It is the small things that make life good. Sebastian Vettel I am just old-fashioned enough to prefer long hair. Erich von Stroheim Mentally and physically, I find I can play with these people. Chico Hamilton I'm glad I haven't married - I crave excitement. Cynthia Payne You don't underestimate either players or audience in any circumstances. Peter Maxwell Davies Friends and acquaintances are the surest passport to fortune. Arthur Schopenhauer When I began listening to saxophones, I was first attracted to Coleman Hawkins. Gerry Mulligan I've always heard people's criticisms twice as loudly as thei

face, whether I'm commentating on the Formula One or at Silver Hatch racetrack in Roary the Racing Car. Murray Walker The cloud that descended on Black Rock on Monday was not for the past but the future. How much will this debacle chill the pursuit of other risky investigations? Tina Brown I've trained myself to illuminate the things in my personality that are likable and to hide and protect the things that are less likeable. Will Smith Leeds is quite laid-back. Matthew Lewis I consciously try not to play favorites with my characters or my books. Tina St. John Both of our wars in Iraq were, on American television, largely bloodless. Bruce Jackson I read the greens in Spanish, but putt in English. Chi Chi Rodriguez I don't know why I run so fast. I just run. Wilma Rudolph I've been lucky enough to fly to space twice. Chris Hadfield I don't read books much. LeBron James

roles. They don't come around very often, so I have to wait for them. Obviously I'm not the typical blonde who stands by the side, while the man has all the fun. Rose McGowan So, I'm the Eighth Wonder of the World. It's flattering and very, very funny. Eva Longoria I love designing at the moment, I'm so happy with my work. Vivienne Westwood Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world. Marilyn Monroe I definitely have favourites in terms of albums. Josh Silver I'd rather be dealt with as a person than a persona. Queen Rania of Jordan I always write the pieces I want to write. Harrison Birtwistle I'm very opinionated. Brian Eno Slogans which deafened us so that we could not hear the truth. Ernst Toller A promise must never be broken. Alexander Hamilton

environment and different world for me. Cam Gigandet Kennedy had been assassinated a month or so before. So we walked to the grave of John Kennedy and ended our walking symbolically at the Arlington National Cemetery. Satish Kumar One tries to be an observer as an actor and indeed as a director because the small things, the give-away things are what are really interesting to a performer. Janet Suzman Everyone has power. But it doesn't help if you don't use it. Sylvia Earle Geniuses always think it's easier than we make it out to be. James Lipton Now I'm a blithering oaf hanging on to the coatsleeves of commerciality. Robert Plant If the Bible had said that Jonah swallowed the whale, I would believe it. William Jennings Bryan When the private does well, there's revenue for the public sector. Jim Talent It's important in any project to remain focused. Jehane Noujaim I like being at home and cooking. Shania Twain

something to do, you know, and when I did finally get the guitar, it didn't seem that difficult to me, to be able to make a good noise out of it. Eric Clapton I think today the players are too nice to one another, but that might change with the unbalanced schedule, with teams playing each other more and more. When you face each other that much, with that much at stake, something's bound to happen. Dennis Eckersley Natural gas is the best transportation fuel. It's better than gasoline or diesel. It's cleaner, it's cheaper, and it's domestic. Natural gas is 97 percent domestic fuel, North America. T. Boone Pickens I know who I am. And I know I'm a good person. Johnny Damon Many of us get our news from social networks, blogs, and daily aggregators. Chris Hughes Empathy is about finding echoes of another person in yourself. Mohsin Hamid You can't do something forever. Bob Dylan A lot of my colleagues at school became great friends of min

have inalienable, God-given rights, corporations do not. Gary Hamel It seems that it is madder never to abandon one's self than often to be infatuated; better to be wounded, a captive and a slave, than always to walk in armor. Margaret Fuller I was thrilled, because I like the big screen and I could then move on to the next thing. It was the biggest break for me. In a way, though, I wish it had been a TV series because then you are working for five years. Persis Khambatta It's Fifty, not Fiddy. Curtis Jackson Every drop in the ocean counts. Yoko Ono Packing is always a nightmare. Stefanie Powers Love is not love until love's vulnerable. Theodore Roethke We are potentially the most dangerous agency in the country. Louis Freeh Everybody sooner or later has to drop the luggage and the baggage of illusions. Carlos Santana My appointed work is to awaken the divine nature that is within. Peace Pilgrim

subject I excelled in. I love the idea of history and the idea that we may have the opportunity to learn from our past mistakes. Cary Elwes I rode fire trucks, slid down fire poles, wore a lot of red, and made a lot of appearances. I've always had a special place in my heart for fire fighters. Delta Burke I'm very antischedule. Except for board meetings, I don't really schedule things or keep a calendar. I think appointments are caustic to creativity. David Karp I have played a few lay saints in my time. Pauline Collins I learned to tune a guitar by ear. That method has served me pretty well. Charley Pride Markets don't allow you to hang about. Justin Welby As I get older, I realize all I've done is sing and act and hone those skills. Idina Menzel My fans need me. I need me. DMX The people in the Philippines are so extraordinarily nice.

people all the time. You've got to please yourself ultimately in the end. Noel Gallagher By 1980, when I came out of prison, The Sun did a campaign to stop putting vice girls in prison. We've talked about it ever since and nothing has been done about it. Cynthia Payne I wanted to write about relationships. But I didn't feel I had the experience to sing about them in a deep way. Studying psychology helped me out in terms of my understanding. I still look through my old textbooks when I'm in need of inspiration. Natasha Bedingfield I'd rather Apple cannibalize Apple than somebody else cannibalize Apple. Tim Cook Justice prevails over transgression when she comes to the end of the race. Hesiod Being a rock star was out of the question. I can't sing. Linda Evangelista My family's a very musical family, so music's always been a part of my life.

want to join the family business. Rebel Wilson What teenagers want most of all are social rewards, especially the respect of their peers.

Maya Lin When you go out of your comfort zone and it works there's nothing more satisfying. Kristen Wiig I don't see myself as somebody who looks particularly good in photos. Tino Sehgal

public good that can get depleted as too many people treat it carelessly or abandon it too eagerly. What is privacy for? This question needs an urgent answer. Evgeny Morozov You know what I like about San Francisco? The women are beautiful, fashionable and smart. San Francisco is one of the only cities I like to visit. I love New York and Chicago - I studied there, and L.A. has the same people as New York. LeRoy Neiman I watch old school film so that I can learn so much that I just sort of miss all the new stuff. Mike Epps They are amazing kids so we let them make decisions but also have discipline. Kelly Preston I don't believe that in our society that we should have guns. Ed Koch Many transition states have a well-defined preferred geometrical requirement. Derek Harold Richard Barton Africa is poor because its investors and its creditors are unspeakably rich. Naomi Klein Every choice you make has an end result. Zig Ziglar I'm crazy and I don't pret

Royal Shakespeare Company, all those years of playing kings and princes and speaking black verse, and bestriding the landscape of England was nothing but a preparation for sitting in the captain's chair of the Enterprise. Patrick Stewart We need to remember that politics is all about people, not programs. We shouldn't want to take the humanness out of the political arena. J. C. Watts Jay-Z ain't a manager; he owns a management company. He been through this; he been through the game for a long time, so he knows tactics in taking artists in certain directions we need to go in. Meek Mill If you really want it, you need to really work for it. Jesse McCartney When people feel threatened by you, they find something that is belittling. Bruno Tonioli I'm so not a celebrity. Kelly Macdonald Nature's laws have to supersede man's law. Mary Beth Whitehead I am an organization freak! Khloe Kardashian I'm not worried any more about changing people&

create the life they desire and deserve. I've always believed that my job was to facilitate the evolution of the human consciousness. Iyanla Vanzant But however the forms of family life have changed and the number expanded, the role of the family has remained constant and it continues to be the major institution through which children pass en route to adulthood. Bernice Weissbourd I also focus on Bush and his administration - who do a lot of lying - and how a right-wing media has allowed them to get away with a lot of stuff that, in a different media environment, they probably wouldn't be able to get away with. Al Franken The worst part of great poverty is that you become blind to it. Rohinton Mistry Music I do just for me. Jeremy Renner Boxing traditionally was received very well and accepted on both sides. Barry McGuigan You're going to relegate my history to a month. Morgan Freeman I always had a fascination with twins. Francine Pascal I'm not

in the catcher's position. Put points on the board. Show people you can govern. Deliver on what you said you were going to deliver on. Rahm Emanuel Paul Lucas had a particularly amusing accent, so I chuckled. That was terrible; I shouldn't have done that, but he took it too big. He got up and said he couldn't work with people who laughed at him! Fay Wray In fact, because of this deep desire for peace, the ruling class leaders of this land, from 1945 on, stepped up the hysteria and propaganda to drive into American minds the false notion that danger threatened them from the East.

Boetcker Until I was 42, I could fit everything that I owned into two suitcases. Richard Powers The comics were not only stories to enjoy; for me they were drawings that possessed me.

Saul Perlmutter Why can't you write a great pop song when you are 85? Maybe you can. Tim Finn

work together as equals in conditions of peace and prosperity. Oliver Tambo I have to say, I'm good with gifts. If I find something perfect for a certain person, I'll just get it and put it away in a kind of nook under my bed - a little gift hutch, if you prefer. Julian Casablancas Maybe clothes are a form of creative expression for me. An outlet. Because I don't get to express myself creatively through my official duties.

Charles de Montesquieu The sea has neither meaning nor pity. Anton Chekhov I get paid by the year, and I try to earn my money. Chuck Grassley My favorite dish is tandoori chicken. Shah Rukh Khan All this is only for the mice and myself to admire! Catherine the Great

thinking 'ugh, this could potentially be really, really difficult' and it turns out to be the most incredible experience. Kathleen Robertson The notion of directing a film is the invention of critics - the whole eloquence of cinema is achieved in the editing room. Orson Welles I think it's flattering when people say I'm a role model, but I don't think I am. It depends on your outlook on the word 'role model.' I'm not perfect or anything. I just consider it a great compliment. Mandy Moore I am not interested in shock tactics. I just want to make beautiful clothes. Oscar de la Renta Good music shouldn't have a shelf life.
