There are things that directors know about me that people shouldn't know. But everyone's really

different. I've worked with women who I've never wanted to tell anything about myself to, and I've worked with guys who have been pouring wells of emotion. So emotional availability is not a gender-specific thing. Kristen Stewart

When dogs fulfill their roles they are ecstatically happy. Robert Crais

We go fish, we also catch fighting fish, looking for birds and it was for kampong people, the paddy field was our the play field for the children. Abdullah Ahmad Badawi

Human beings and plants have co-evolved for millions of years, so it makes perfect sense that our complex bodies would be adapted to absorb needed, beneficial compounds from complex plants and ignore the rest. Andrew Weil

Growing up, I found I was good at two things: Art and Math. To hear my parents say it, though, it was only, 'John is good at Math.' John Maeda

People often expect me to be something other than what I am. Melissa Leo

He shouldn't be alone at a time like this. This is a special time for me to be around as much as I can. He needs his family and his friends and his fans. Joseph Jackson

I had to succeed. Failure means I would have to be homeless again. Elie Tahari

People know I have a good time on stage. I love my life. I love my job. Dane Cook

I think one of the things we've got to look out for is human beings claiming that they know how God operates. John Shelby Spong

Gemeoss

That's my personal view I would say most in my caucus agree with that but

there are some who don't and I've always said that on these kinds of moral issues, people have the right to their own opinions. Stephen Harper When you're not blond and thin, you come up with a personality real quick. Kathy Najimy The first ingredient in conversation is truth, the next good sense, the third good humor, and the fourth wit. William Temple I would hope they would be our fellow artists, rather than trying to emulate or idolize clowns like us. Maynard James Keenan Let me give you a definition of ethics: It is good to maintain and further life it is bad to damage and destroy life. Albert Schweitzer The disappearance of a sense of responsibility is the most far-reaching consequence of submission to authority. Stanley Milgram Life is not over because you have diabetes. Make the most of what you have, be grateful. Dale Evans I am certainly not an intellectual relativist, nor a moral relativist. Edward Tufte

I fantasised about F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Great Gatsby' - I loved it, and then

I read everything J. D. Salinger had to offer. Then I was turned on to Kerouac, and his spontaneous prose, his stream of consciousness way of writing. I admired him so much, and I romanticised so much about the '40s and '50s. Garrett Hedlund When I take a picture I take 10 percent of what I see. Annie Leibovitz I'm convinced that if we don't define ourselves, other people will do it for us, and inaccurately. Hasan M. Elahi There's an army story in me, and I think there's a WWII Brooks film somewhere. Mel Brooks Since being quite young, I've had a very strong sense of independence and survival. As a child, I was on my own two feet emotionally. Lena Headey I'm a leftover junkie. Kris Carr If you are supposed to be villainous and have some sort of agenda, I like the idea of delivering that kind of character in a perfectly well-mannered way. Bill Nighy The flattery is nice, but awards don't add up to writing quality songs. Chantal Kreviazuk...

I think one of the funniest things about '30 Rock' is that Liz Lemon is

sort of like Buster Keaton - she's always the fool, the joke is always on her. Cristin Milioti There is this sense of David Cameron leading a Government that's badly out of touch with ordinary people's lives. I'd absolutely welcome the opportunity to show all political leaders what life is like for most people. Frances O'Grady This sweet, blessed, God-inspired place called America is a champion that has absorbed some blows. But while we bend, we don't break. This is no dark hour; this is the dawn before we remember who we are. Artur Davis As far as I'm concerned, I didn't dream - ever. Theodore Sturgeon Words fall short sometimes. Jeff Bridges Consciousness is the glory of creation. James Broughton I am very, very anti-slasher. Cassandra Peterson I try to avoid barbecue potato chips. They're my weakness. Gwyneth Paltrow All things are lessons that God would have us learn. Iyanla Vanzant I listen mostly to classical music. ...

I believe, literally, in the God of the Old Testament, whom I understand as the

Lord of the Jews and the Protestants. I'm a Christian Zionist, as well as a Christian feminist and a Christian socialist. Julie Burchill The Question to be considered is, Whether the Government have reason by a Law, to prohibit the taking more than 4 l. per cent Interest for Money lent, or to leave the Borrower and Lender to make their own Bargains. Dudley North I pretend I'm one of the royal family when I'm in a hotel and that the hotel belongs to me - it is a palace. Martin Short Product management really is the fusion between technology, what engineers do - and the business side. Marissa Mayer Mike Tyson would have been a good sparring partner for me and Muhammad Ali because Tyson was a fast fighter and he could punch and throw good combinations. Larry Holmes I went to Catholic school. Do as you're told; don't ask questions and you will be illuminated. Katherine Helmond From an early age, I learned to invest myself emotionally in what unfolded b...

The film I think was a good film for what it was designed for. It

was for kids. Unfortunately the critics slashed it before it even started but that is just the way the cookie crumbles. Justin Guarini All institutions have lapses, even great ones, especially by individual rogue employees - famously in recent years at 'The Washington Post,' 'The New York Times,' and the three original TV networks. Carl Bernstein I was obsessed with this idea that these things that you collect, they just say so much about who you are. I can't say it came from hard-nosed business analysis... It was just something I really want to see built. Ben Silbermann You are not going to get peace with millions of armed men. The chariot of peace cannot advance over a road littered with cannon. David Lloyd I definitely have a family. I have a boyfriend who has kids, and we do normal things every day, like get up and go to school. Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. Tina Yothers When we talk about the healthcare crisis in America we've got to also ...

I served seven years as the chair of the Princeton economics department where I had

responsibility for major policy decisions, such as whether to serve bagels or doughnuts at the department coffee hour. Ben Bernanke Head Start is designed to ensure that all children - regardless of their family's income, race, or ethnic background - are able to enter kindergarten ready to learn. Lucille Roybal-Allard There was a time when meanings were focused and reality could be fixed; when that sort of belief disappeared, things became uncertain and open to interpretation. Bridget Riley The big risk to British lives in 2013 is in Afghanistan. Our troops, diplomats and aid workers have made a big contribution there. But while there is an end date for Western engagement, 2014, there isn't a proper end game. David Miliband Every president becomes a caricature. The press, partisans, late-night shows, and other arbiters of our culture these days boil down complicated and multi-faceted personalities into one-dimensional punchlines. Mark McKinnon My chefs don't ...

All my graduation money went to paying for bartending classes so I could

have a side gig. I bartended for two months before I was supposed to move to New York and then two months later I got the job as an understudy in 'Sister Act' and haven't looked back since. Patina Miller Potentially significant, by the way, because we don't know exactly what's in Matt Cooper's notes, and we don't know - and we don't still know the answer to the crucial question of whether it was Rove or somebody else that revealed Valerie Plame's name to him. Michael Isikoff I was playing little league baseball when Bruce Jenner was winning the gold, but I don't think I was really paying attention at that time. It wasn't until 1980 - I think I was 12 years old - that I thought, 'Wow that's what I want to do. I want to be on the Olympic team.' Dan O'Brien A corporation is organized as a system - it has this department, that department, that department... they don't have any meaning separately; they only can functio...

The most important thing is to live an interesting life. Keep your eyes, ears and

heart open. Talk to people and visit interesting places, and don't forget to ask questions. To be a writer you need to drink in the world around you so it's always there in your head. Michael Morpurgo I think a major cause of present Asian economic difficulties that mainly come from, you know, lack of market economy. Kim Dae Jung I think I'm just really in love with women, and I love to see them looking incredibly, truly beautiful. I think every time a woman wears one of my dresses, you know, in a matter of speaking, I'm having a little love affair with her! Prabal Gurung Duh! So, we're asking you now, what are some of your favorite lines that this warlock brain produced? Charlie Sheen Things of this world are in so constant a flux, that nothing remains long in the same state. John Locke I think it's naive to pray for world peace if we're not going to change the form in which we live. Godfrey Reggio I wasn't really a work-conscious type...

I've been lucky enough to travel widely. When you're based

in Europe, it's very easy to go to Madrid or Budapest for the weekend. I also lived in Italy for ten years and now live in Ireland. Laurie Graham When we believe in lies, we cannot see the truth, so we make thousands of assumptions and we take them as truth. One of the biggest assumptions we make is that the lies we believe are the truth! Don Miguel Ruiz Just as most of us prefer to watch a trapeze artist work without a net, we like to be absolutely sure that a virtuoso is giving us our money's worth, and a seemingly effortless performance, no matter how spectacular it may be, deprives us of that slightly sadistic thrill. Terry Teachout To me, freedom of speech and debate are necessary inputs in solving any of our nation's problems, from homelessness and economic inequality to banking, the environment, and national security. Freedom of speech is what Larry Lessig would call a 'root' issue; working on free speech is striking at a root issue. Marvin Ammori ...

America and the world are paying a high price for devotion to the extreme anti-government

ideology embraced by Donald Trump and his Republican party. Joseph Stiglitz Bitcoin is probably the most portable money in the history of the world. I can download any amount onto a thumb drive and walk across any border without any problems. Or, I could commit to memory a line of code that I can then input into the network and save or spend Bitcoins. Max Keiser You can laugh at anything. It depends on the joke. Ricky Gervais When you make a film, you never know how it will turn out, especially when you improvise it. Thomas Middleditch For any writer, a red pen is such a trigger. Jason Isbell For me, my music is fun. I don't really take my music that serious. Selena Gomez I can tell you I have dealt with mania my whole life. Juliette Lewis If given a chance, I would like to work with Surender Reddy. Varun Dhawan If you actually hang out in the countryside, which I did, it's actually quite peaceful. John Sandford I think, as an artist, I wear a lot of different hats, and people...
