'The Dictator' lands somewhere between wan Mel Brooks and good Adam Sandler, whose 'You Don't

Mess With the Zohan,' about an Israeli Special Forces soldier at a hair salon, manages to strike better contrasts with vaguely similar culture differences - it's a nuttier movie, too. Wesley Morris

I'm a firm believer and I think my religion is inside. Billy Eckstine

I go short and sweet on the engagement. I did have a longish engagement, but I think short and sweet is best. Leelee Sobieski

There are pastors who won't go to people's sick beds. How can people of God turn their back on the sick, poor and hungry? James Harvey Robinson

I'm a night owl. Alanna Ubach

If I could live a parallel life, I would be a sitcom star; being in front of a live audience would be great. Scott Wolf

My dog's a gentleman. Todd Phillips

I grew up in a house with dogs. We always had dogs. We always had a bunch of dogs, actually. Lee Pace When

I was in high school, there was no safe haven, there was no outlet for you to speak your mind. Matt Bomer

Gemeoss

You can make people feel valued or cared for by design alone. It's not purely

about money. It's about how we choose to value human experience.Thomas Heatherwick I do a big roast of Trump during my set now - which I clearly expanded on - because there's so much to make fun of him about now.Lisa Lampanelli A vaccine that prevented tuberculosis would merit a Nobel Prize, but it's just very difficult to develop.Tom Frieden I go through the same kind of situations as other people. I have to give that to people, because people have this facade, this mirage, this mirror about me.Tory Lanez The wild thing is that when I'm in the band, I can control my destiny with four other guys. As a composer sitting in the audience, you can throw good vibes at everybody, but you can't control anybody's destiny, so it's really unsettling.David Bryan I'm an actor, and I don't judge my parts.Swara Bhaskar As a competitor, you want to be out there in the fire with your teammates.Brock Osweiler We wish to be treated 'not as ordi...

I'm very fortunate to have spent so much time in the industry and to have

lived through several generations of filmmakers, actors and technicians. There's a huge volume of experience seeing people change and seeing content change. Amitabh Bachchan It's a rule to give all, and it can make the difference if you work more. If you don't have to give all, and you still win, what's this? Jurgen Klopp Outside football, I just love life, you know. We're lucky to play football, to have all this body. Everyone's watching us. You see how many people, they come and watch the game. It's unbelievable, you see how many people they come. They shout your name and just enjoy life. Paul Pogba Innovation is a game of numbers. How do you get enough ideas into the pipeline? Shari L. Ballard 'Monty Python And The Holy Grail' is a hugely important movie to me. I remember watching it for the first time on cable when I was about 13 years old. James Gunn I know what it is to be out entertaining millions and yet wanting to be home beca...

When it came to 'Binge,' it wasn't my intention to get on a little soapbox

and have a teaching moment. It was more, 'Here are things that have happened to me; here's what I've learned from it. If you'd like to learn from it too, great; if you just like the entertainment aspect, that's fine too.' Tyler Oakley I love if someone invites me to a restaurant, so I don't know if that's a feminist. Carine Roitfeld Being fired from a show - being fired in any way, in any instance, any business - is just hard. Kathleen Rose Perkins Just as many people flee Hollywood as those who flock to it. Hollywood can be an acquired taste. Shawn Amos I kind of liked the idea of filming musicians. I could like a musician and know, at the same time, maybe nobody else maybe liked them much or appreciated them. D. A. Pennebaker I believe in glamour. I am in favor of a little vanity. I don't rely on just my genes. Iman Dickens is always full of surprises. Claire Tomalin A musician's whole life is to listen. Wynton Marsalis ...

Blushing is thought to be linked to increased levels of norepinephrine in the brain, which

may be associated with romantic feelings. It signals that we are interested and excited, which is attractive to men. Helen Fisher There are two contrary impulses which govern this man's brain-the one sane, and the other eccentric. They alternate at regular intervals. Franz Schubert I also eat fruit instead of drinking juices. That's something I've read up on. I think that if you drink a lot of fruit juice you take in way too much sugar. You'd be better off eating a bunch of strawberries or apples. Kris Humphries History can bring luck: this is what we can call optimism. Stephane Hessel I want to bring more gymnastics on television. Shannon Miller Better not to exist than live basely. Sophocles I don't miss acting at all. Zachery Ty Bryan I was born in the USA, which many people still find hard to believe. Cesar Romero There's no mystique to acting. It's only common sense - and a bit of courage. Bill Hunter Life has a higher end, th...

The postdoc explained to me how to distinguish different sorts of particles on the basis

of the amounts of energy they deposited in various sorts of detectors, spark chambers, calorimeters, what have you. Eric Allin Cornell What makes old age so sad is not that our joys but our hopes cease. Jean Paul Principles are a dangerous form of social dynamite. Katharine Anthony There are no friends at cards or world politics. Finley Peter Dunne Fear is the mother of foresight. Thomas Hardy Taking something from one man and making it worse is plagiarism. George A. Moore Headlines twice the size of the events. John Galsworthy You must continue to gain expertise, but avoid thinking like an expert. Denis Waitley

The very first time I was on a car in Atlanta, I saw the conductor

- all conductors are white - ask a Negro woman to get up and take a seat farther back in order to make a place for a white man. I have also seen white men requested to leave the Negro section of the car. Ray Stannard Baker We must be willing to pay inspiring math and science teachers, who have high paying alternatives in industry, more to teach and reward students who take more challenging courses in high school. Mark Kennedy I like dialogue in novels. I wanted to avoid laying history on with a trowel - appearing to be lecturing, as opposed to the characters lecturing their children or students. Dialogue can humanise the story and make it go down somewhat more smoothly. Elliot Perlman The worst of the action films are the ones where everything is one shout from beginning to finish. And there's no differentiation between beats, like small or big, or quiet or expansive. It's all just one loud shout. Shane Black I wish to assure you that there can never be any return t...

When someone fears losing your affection, he or she will strive to keep it. Perhaps

you have strived to keep someone's affection, too. Fear of loss is not love. Gary Zukav I'm doing a lot of stand-up, but not like when you're living in New York and you can do three sets a night and it's your life, and you sleep all day and you wake up and you eat with a bunch of other comics and then get ready for the night. Sarah Silverman I want to write more books, see my first novel made into a film, fight more campaigns, work in more countries. I want to be able to recall experiences that have endured for their pleasure and range and intensity. Alastair Campbell We need fundamental change. In the past, national development led to people's happiness but now the link between national growth and improvement in people's lives has been severed. Park Geun-hye I went through a lot of bullying early on. Girls made my life a living hell. We had come to America from a different country. My brother and I had accents. It was very tough. Nicki Minaj Pain...

I don't story board. I do something else, which is, I block it. We then

train to the blocking. In other words, when everybody's training, they're actually training a lot of the moves that we are definitely going to use, and then, I do a lot of photography of that, and that becomes where the cameras go. Michael Mann It is very important that our young people have constructive early work experiences. But it is equally important that their jobs are safe and complement their education, rather than complete it. Alexis Herman I was put under contract. A major studio. I got nominated for an Academy Award. Isn't that ridiculous? I mean, at the age of 18! Angela Lansbury I am shy by nature, a person who's always found something burdensome about human interaction and who probably always will, at least to some degree. Caroline Knapp I like to look at the glass half full. Abdullah II of Jordan I'd like to get more bit-acting roles. I don't know if my talent would allow for a long dialogue, but I could definitely knock out three l...

I was big time into Barbie. I also had Wonder Woman Underoos that I really

liked. I actually wore them as an outfit to school. As I said, I was a strange child. Jennifer Sky My dad raised me with some good advice: 'Always tell the truth. Always shoot from the hip. You might not have many friends, but you'll never have enemies, because people will always know where you're coming from.' Pink Limit or eliminate late-night computer and television viewing. A computer or TV screen may seem much dimmer than a light bulb, but these screens often fill your field of vision, mimicking the effects of a room filled with light. Andrew Weil I've been called many things, but never an intellectual. Tallulah Bankhead I don't care if I never see Texas again. Rafer Johnson Beauty is the sole ambition, the exclusive goal of Taste. Charles Baudelaire I'm religiously opposed to religion. Victor Hugo The painter constructs, the photographer discloses. Susan Sontag I don't really shout that much. Bill O'Reilly I'd lik...

Definitely, study is absolutely necessary in all forms - it's just like any talent that's

born within somebody. It's just like a good pair of shoes when you put a shine on it, you know? Like, schooling brings out the polish of any talent. It happens anywhere in the world. Charlie Parker I didn't really have a road map ever. Bonnie Hammer I remember, after 'Tumbleweeds,' my friend and I wrote 'Pride and Glory.' I was just about to get it going. I had some really great actors attached, and New Line was going to make the movie, and 9/11 happened. And it was over. By September 12, it was over. And rightfully so. I understood that. Gavin O'Connor A platform is essentially a business model that thrives because of the participation and value added from third parties with only incremental effort from the owner of the platform. Om Malik I will work with whoever is leader of the DUP. Martin McGuinness I think when you work with older actors, who are so good, it's rare that they are egotistical. Ruth Bradley People think the advantage of a parent in t...
