You know, I've got experiences going back to the wage price controls in the Nixon

administration where, in effect, we had what I think was a terrible mistake, in that case a Republican administration, where moved in and tried to control the wages, prices and profits of every enterprise in America. It was a huge mistake. Dick Cheney

I wanted to be a cartoonist when I was young. Jean-Michel Basquiat

I am not stroppy at all. Andy Murray

When you make a movie, it's up to so many things and so many people. Gary Cole

People have always said - those words, 'too conservative,' is fairly relative. I'm sure that they probably said that about Thomas Jefferson and George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. Sharron Angle

The funny thing is, I look at these magazines that make me so insecure and neurotic, but I'm in them! Heather Graham

Sixty per cent of people entering prison today are illiterate. Jeffrey Archer

I remember thinking, 'I'll audition just once and if it doesn't work out I'll never think about it ever again.' Jared Harris

When people are used to you doing something, they want you to stay in that lane. Kevin Durant

In many ways, my attachment to human freedom was completely compatible with my right to live freely as a homosexual. Andrew Sullivan

Gemeoss

Priority is placed on the chastity of women. You can be corrupt, or a murderer

and still hold your head up high on the street without problems, whereas if there are any suspicions of your chastity and moral behaviour as a woman, you get lynched. Safak Pavey You have to say now that space is something. Space can vibrate, space can fluctuate, space can be quantum mechanical, but what the devil is it? Leonard Susskind I don't think Russia could start a war by attacking any of the NATO member states. Milos Zeman Like every artist that comes out, you want to make a mark; you want to be a household name and you want to be someone that people are going to look back in ten years/fifteen years' time and go, 'I love this guy Olly Murs. He was brilliant back in the day; he was someone I really, really liked.' Olly Murs Fundamentally, the basis of all modern progress is the efficiency of labor. And the only sure road to restored prosperity is through the thrift and hard work of our people as a whole. Charles M. Schwab May we treasure the divine...

Persuasiveness is really just about getting your ideas across without being forceful.

It's a skill that can be learned and is useful for anyone who works in a team environment. Amanda de Cadenet I was an extra in a Tia Carrere music video. Adam Scott When people start to think they're figuring out 'The Vampire Diaries,' it switches on you. Kat Graham It's a huge blessing to know you've done something that has affected people the way 'The Matrix' has. It's like, there's 'Star Wars,' and then there's 'The Matrix.' It's cool to be a part of that. Laurence Fishburne Voters aren't asking to be pandered to and aren't asking to be tricked. Jason Kander I'm a pretty controlled and disciplined person, but my real vice is buying plants and food shopping. Zac Posen Barack Obama was a president who understood not only how technology could transform the way government services worked but also technology itself. He got it. Steven Levy Positivity, confidence, and persistence are key in life, so never give up...

I think where it's going is toward what the music industry is like, where channels

will be considered more like labels that carry the type of TV show that you like, and then you'll consume them however you can. For example, I don't really watch Showtime, but I bought 'Homeland,' and I've been watching every episode on my iPad. Adam Pally We need a tougher enforcement program and, most importantly, we need to fix the badly broken ethics system. Marty Meehan There is a god within us. Ovid It is a Modern day, and these times need Modern solutions to Modern problems. Corin Nemec The man who gets drunk in peacetime is a coward. The man who gets drunk in wartime goes on being a coward. Jose Bergamin You can have anything you want in life if you dress for it. Edith Head The taste for quotations (and for the juxtaposition of incongruous quotations) is a Surrealist taste. Susan Sontag I actually went to college with Adam Sandler. He was a dramatic actor, too! Molly Shannon While there I began to study the Asian religions as theories of mind...

As tennis players, we work and we sacrifice many things. To lose, that's not a

happy thing - I mean sure, I was disappointed. You have to come back strong. But to win the last point in a grand slam tournament, that's the most beautiful and most satisfying feeling you can get as a tennis player. It's worth it. Bjorn Borg I have the greatest husband. The baby is my main focus right now. We're both so excited. I mean, this is definitely the happiest moment in my life. Ashlee Simpson I feel like that religions generally ask the biggest questions. They may not always have the best answers, but they're the zone of human activity that regularly asks the biggest questions. Ayad Akhtar We wanted to step off our island and add the color of the third world. We got gold cigarette paper and stuck it around our teeth. We really did look like pirates and dressed to look the part. Vivienne Westwood I was never the 'babe,' so I knew I'd never get those big roles. I'd always be the best friend or the quirky sidekick. Joan Cusack Women dese...

I knew I had to write a good screenplay to be taken seriously, and I

knew I needed to present Mississippi on visuals instead of just saying, 'Hey I wanted to film it in Mississippi.' It would seem like it was a hometown boy just wanting to be home. Tate Taylor Dyslexia, though, made me realise that people who say 'but you can't do that' aren't actually very important. I don't take 'no' too seriously. Richard Rogers We don't have an Official Secrets Act in the United States, as other countries do. Under the First Amendment, freedom of the press, freedom of speech, and freedom of association are more important than protecting secrets. Alan Dershowitz We don't leave home without my daughter's doll La-La. She looks like a bit of a rag, but India is obsessed with her. Georgina Chapman I like a certain style of show, I like a certain pace, I like a rhythm, I like a lot of comedy in with my drama. Amy Sherman-Palladino Fool! Don't you see now that I could have poisoned you a hundred times had I...

The men resent a woman getting any honour in what they consider is essentially their

field. Men painters mostly despise women painters. So I have decided to stop squirming, to throw any honour in with Canada and women. Emily Carr There's so much crap talked about acting. Ben Kingsley I have always supported measures and principles and not men. Davy Crockett We're all outsiders in a way. We're all alone and can become very lonely. Hugo Weaving I got a hundred bucks says my baby beats Pete's baby. I just think genetics are in my favour. Andre Agassi To deny the freedom of the will is to make morality impossible. James Anthony Froude I want to make this perfectly clear: you can be sure that I will never be a yes-man except to my own conscience. Charles Edison

I finally decided one day, reading science fiction magazines of the time, I could do

at least as well as some of these people are doing. So I finally made a serious effort. Fred Saberhagen I won a Marshall scholarship to read philosophy at Oxford, and what I most wanted to do was strengthen public intellectual culture - I'd write books and essays to help us figure out who we wanted to be. Reid Hoffman Since I am me, I find it very difficult to judge how fascinating listening to my nasal, heavily-accented drone for two hours would be to somebody who wasn't me. Alan Moore I used to do kickboxing, because I liked the cute outfits. Monica Keena I just want to make people smile. Julie Garwood I bought some books in order to learn the first principles of philosophy. Johann Heinrich Lambert All German women are beautiful. Heidi Klum I can never remember what I do even in the studio. Ritchie Blackmore I have never stopped playing music. Jason Schwartzman By and large, I've been healthy all my life. Bill Parcells

You know, they just don't make big movie stars the way they used to, maybe

because the system has changed, the studio system, but it's sad to see people like Jimmy Stewart go, all the giants of the past. Tom Atkins Success requires first expending ten units of effort to produce one unit of results. Your momentum will then produce ten units of results with each unit of effort. Charles J. Givens What's the difference between sex and love? I have four wives and five kids. I apparently don't know the difference. James Caan The enjoyment of life would be instantly gone if you removed the possibility of doing something. Chauncey Depew What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet. Woody Allen Creating new jobs for Pennsylvanians continues to be my highest priority throughout the Commonwealth. Ed Rendell Our natures are a lot like oil, mix us with anything else, and we strive to swim on top. Joan Rivers

I was a tomboy. In my clubbing days, my friend Lucy Davies-Hunt - half-Iranian, looked

like Yasmin Le Bon - could wear catsuits, while I was the one in the sweatshirt, jeans, and Fila boots. Maxine Peake My roots are documentaries. David L. Wolper Paolo Maldini never won, but he was the best defender in the world. Gianluigi Buffon never won; he was the best goalkeeper in the world for many years. But this is the story of the Ballon d'Or. Antonio Conte Young entrepreneurs, in general, feel they're too busy running their companies, which I think is a mistake. But once they're older, you see much more of a propensity to be involved in philanthropy. Jeffrey Skoll I thought there was a glitch when they told me that in two or three weeks 'My Church' hit a million streams. Maren Morris The key is that I'm trying to keep growing and trying to keep learning and deepen my connection in every way, in my life, in my work. That's what I do when I look at a role. Forest Whitaker It strikes me as pretty interesting and cool how girls support each other in t...

I use the film industry as a pleasure for work and that kind of thing

and it's not a pursuit to make me feel happy in my life. Thandie Newton I warm up. I do about 50 push-ups with my trainer and my security just to get pumped up before a show, get our energy up. And then I just go have fun. Joe Jonas If I start planning then that's dangerous because then I have a target that I'm blinkered towards and I won't listen to the warning signs quite so much. I'd rather be in shape and then look around and say there's a race next week and jump into that than have it planned. Paula Radcliffe All my references are 50 years old-when somebody shot J.R., you know? Oh my god, I'm 100! Lauren Graham Everybody that you could name would join in our audiences from, Laguardia on down. Everybody came. Everybody came to the Cotton Club. Cab Calloway I think performance art comes from a simple place of wanting to express things beyond just sound. Amanda Palmer We should distinguish carefully skepticism about Big Government from co...
