New York cops are very specific in terms of the way they talk and the

way they handle themselves. All these cliches that, as an Englishman, I thought were from a bygone era or were a bit of poetic license with cop shows - the more you hang out with them, the more you realize how real that jargon is. Theo James

Most Hispanics are concerned with the same issues other Americans are - the economy, jobs, education. Similar to Main Street America. Henry Bonilla

If you're writing a screenplay, you need to be prepared to let go: there's a good chance the words you write aren't going to be the ones that end up on screen. Meg Cabot

I don't like movies that are trying to preach and trying to tell you how to feel. Don Cheadle

No, the horror genre is not my first love. I don't run to the theater to see horror films. Amanda Righetti

I wanted to create a new way of looking at retail. Tory Burch

Nothing's occurring in animation - you manufacture everything. Gore Verbinski

You can take a sidewards step in the Premier League, go to a team in the Championship or come to a team in League One. Alan Smith

As people get older, they get married, have kids. I'm not married. I don't have kids, so I'm able to focus 100 percent on this. Steven Lopez

Gemeoss

I repeat that the distance between the earth and her satellite is a mere trifle,

and undeserving of serious consideration. I am convinced that before twenty years are over, one-half of our earth will have paid a visit to the moon. Jules Verne What I love about 'The Chew' is that we have these celebrities come on, and you get to see them in a different light, cooking or enjoying food, when we usually don't see them in that setting. So it's a lot of fun for their fans to see them be normal people and having that commonality of food. Carla Hall I don't want the big flashing lights and red carpet, like, 'Here comes another Bon Iver album!' I just want it to be my bedroom-y thing. But that'll take a while to figure out. Justin Vernon The very essence of architecture consists of a variety and development reminiscent of natural organic life. This is the only true style in architecture. Alvar Aalto I came to architecture from building. Because my father was a builder, everybody was - and is - a builder in my family. Renzo Piano ...

In 2003, I almost died of an intestinal blockage when I was on a mountain

in Chile, filming a segment for 'Scientific American Frontiers.' Alan Alda But I feel truly wowed by the architecture and the meaning of the architecture if you get lost in it and think about the man hours in the smallest little chapel, and the love involved. God it's fantastic. Paul Bettany If only Coca-Cola had had the kind of message to accompany its addictive deliciousness that Fox News has, we'd all be speaking Cokelish today. Steven Weber I do not believe that friends are necessarily the people you like best, they are merely the people who got there first. Peter Ustinov I have never seen a bad television program, because I refuse to. God gave me a mind, and a wrist that turns things off. Jack Paar Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind. Imre Lakatos My advice to new artists is to embrace a broader concept of timelessness than vintage or retro. Brandi Carlile Every em...

My brother was a great audience, and if he liked the picture, he would laugh

and laugh and laugh, and he would want to keep the picture. Making people laugh with an image I had created... what power that was! Lynn Johnston Mies van der Rohe's architecture and modern architecture in general suffered from not only being repetitive, but not explaining to the populous what the different rooms were for. Charles Jencks I feel now it's useless to keep hoping. The way things are today, we live in a world that needs laughter, and I've decided if I can make people laugh, I'm making a more important contribution. Paul Lynde At that time, we were in charge. We didn't ask. We just did. We just did what was in our heart. Ben E. King The care of a wise and good man for his only son is inferior to the regard of the great Parent of the universe for his creatures. John Woolman My mother still calls me Jim and that is about it. Everyone else calls me Lee. My wife calls me whatever. Lee Child My grandmother gave birth to 13 children and I come...

I think when people mean that Discworld books have become darker they really mean the

series is growing up. In 'The Colour of Magic' most of the city is set alight. It's a joke, in much the same way that the Earth is destroyed almost at the start of Douglas Adams's 'The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.' Terry Pratchett So much of what makes a room great is how you enter and circulate through it, how it addresses the body. Annabelle Selldorf The blind must not only be fed and housed and cared for; they must learn to make thir lives useful to the community. Julia Ward Howe I have a tremendous desire to learn, and to grow, and to develop whatever I have that will make for any kind of improvement in me. Lawrence Welk Here in the big city people spend their time thinking about work and about money; they don't give some value to friendships and it can be depressing. Adriana Lima As much as you put into it is as much as you get out of it. Nuno Bettencourt I'd just rather have a really sharp, interesting, smart gay son than some big d...

In the lexicon of the political class, the word 'sacrifice' means that the citizens are

supposed to mail even more of their income to Washington so that the political class will not have to sacrifice the pleasure of spending it. George Will Whether or not we can save Lake Michigan, whether or not we can avoid a breakdown in our criminal justice system are more important than whether or not I'm going to be governor. Bill Scott You don't make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas. Shirley Chisholm Show people tend to treat their finances like their dentistry. They assume the man handling it knows what he is doing. Dick Cavett If you're bored with life - you don't get up every morning with a burning desire to do things - you don't have enough goals. Lou Holtz I feel that my whole life is a contribution. Pete Seeger Then the war became a real problem and along with other shortages, they started to have paper problems. Gil Kane

If I stumbled badly in doing the job, I think it would have made life

more difficult for women, and that was a great concern of mine and still is. Sandra Day O'Connor Barack wants to stop all children from working on the farm... Can you imagine this? I just, I can't fathom that. Did you ever think we'd grow up in America and see something like that? Let me take it one step further. He wants to disallow the 4-H from training children to work on a farm. John Raese People try to read a lot into what 'digital' means. It's just another platform. There are very attractive things that happen if you invest in content - movies, TV production, acquired series, specialty genres, digital distribution of our magazines, sports rights. Jeffrey Bewkes I was not created to be occupied by eating delicious foods like tied up cattle. Ali ibn Abi Talib Museums are not normally presenting the works on the walls as provocations to work. It's more like going to a Jacuzzi. Hans Haacke Being at the centre of a film is a burden one takes ...

I saw music as a way to entertain people and take them away from their

daily lives and put smiles on their faces, as opposed to what I see it being now, which is a way for me to actually communicate, and a way for me to tap into my subconscious. Alanis Morissette You and I are essentially infinite choice-makers. In every moment of our existence, we are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices. Deepak Chopra Some people come to our shows and think they're gonna spend the night just listening to love songs, and they're pretty much surprised cause we do a lot of rock and roll. Bobby Hatfield Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it. Douglas MacArthur It's good to have a title that's not just one word. If you're gonna title it, you might as well try and say something. Damien Hirst I think that one of the most fundamental responsibilities is to give testimony in a court of law, ...

I wanted to appeal to people who've never really listened to hip-hop or really given

it a chance before. I've also tried to incorporate all my favorite lifestyle things in the music. Of course, 'Fashion Killa' is one of peoples' favorites because it just expresses how much I like fashion. ASAP Rocky I've always been given respect because I'm kind of mannish, and I'm not a great beauty. I've never played the coquette card because I'm no good at it. Martha Wainwright Too many people hate the people that AIDS most affects: gay people and people of color. I do not mean dislike, or feel uncomfortable with. I mean hate. Downright hate. Down and dirty hate. Larry Kramer Thou shouldst eat to live; not live to eat. Marcus Tullius Cicero People think of Latina women as being fiery and fierce, which is usually true. But I think the quality that so many Latinas possess is strength. I'm very proud to have Latin blood. Zoe Saldana To go to war, you must always think of, can you win? John Dingell There is something so biologically i...

I read 'The Bell Jar' as an adolescent and, like most teenagers, had no

problem identifying with a young woman who had everything going for her - looks, talent, opportunity, with her 'whole life ahead of her,' yadda, yadda, yadda - yet was spiraling into misery. Lionel Shriver I always wanted to write a book. Not a romance novel. Maybe a crime thriller. Something with action. Maybe that will happen some day. Becky Sauerbrunn I began to study martial arts because it was a great form of exercise, and I knew it would help my acting career. Martial arts reminded me of dancing. It has helped me learn fight sequences quicker. Olga Fonda I told my team, 'I don't want to go out for Asian roles anymore.' Ross Butler The Wodehouse language is so rich and detailed and hilarious. John Lithgow The Corbynista brand of politics representing metropolitan, middle class, pro-open border values is far removed from millions of Labour voters, especially those who voted Leave in the referendum. Nigel Farage What comes into...

The day when a sportsman stops thinking above all else of the happiness in his

own effort and the intoxication of the power and physical balance he derives from it, the day when he lets considerations of vanity or interest take over, on this day his ideal will die. Pierre de Coubertin One of my side strange abilities is to hear a good song, no matter how it's being performed. Even if you get a bad performance, I can still hear that there's a good song. Manfred Mann When we describe what the other person is really like, I suppose we often picture what we want. We look through the prism of our need. Ellen Goodman After a certain point, money is meaningless. It ceases to be the goal. The game is what counts. Aristotle Onassis A face to lose youth for, to occupy age With the dream of, meet death with. Robert Browning A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art. Paul Cezanne Like Noel Brown and Scotty, they recorded as the Chosen Few, and I recorded as Dennis Brown then. Dennis Brown
