There are half a billion people that listen to music online and the vast majority

are doing so illegally. But if we bring those people over to the legal side and Spotify, what is going to happen is we are going to double the music industry and that will lead to more artists creating great new music.
Daniel Ek

We don't watch the film anymore because we've seen it so many times, so we'll introduce it, walk out and we'll come back in right about when I wake up in the morning and walk over to the shop and everything's changed.
Simon Pegg

It has been a privilege to pursue knowledge for its own sake and to see how it might help mankind in more practical ways.
Paul Nurse

There is no self-portrait of me.
Gustav Klimt

I love history, doesn't matter what era, I'm fascinated.
Tom Petty

My life has been, I suppose, the most incredible series of highs and lows.
Craig Charles

Interviews don't go to the core of my life. Everybody knows my life - it's an open book.
Michael Moriarty

In the Scottish Orkneys, the little stone houses with their single large room and central hearth had an extraordinary range of built-in furniture.
Stephen Gardiner

The A-listers and the A+ listers, are reporting the news, they're not making it.
Guy Kawasaki

I like being outside and working with the elements. The elemental aspects of it. The physicality of it.
Maggie Smith

I love the game, it's the greatest game on earth, that's why I can't understand

all of this talk about trying to make the game better. People talk about the high strike zone and changing this and that. Why? To speed up the game? That's the beauty of baseball. There is no time element. Eric Davis My dad also plays a little banjo and guitar, my mom plays the mandolin. Page McConnell I never set out to write prayers at all. But there was a span of time when I didn't find it easy to pray, but, when I went to write one of the things I had to write, a prayer would come. Gloria Gaither You can't get closer to the heart of national sovereignty than national security and intelligence services. Gijs de Vries A guy will promise you the world and give you nothin', and that's the blues. Otis Rush I think people often confuse success with fame and stardom. Brenda Blethyn The beautiful spring came; and when Nature resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt to revive also. Harriet Ann Jacobs Live to learn, learn to live, then teach others. Dou

Comedies are just never that expensive quite frankly. They really aren't. We aren't doing green

screen shooting, so even Hangover II in Bangkok might seem like it's expensive, you're flying over and back, but they're just not that expensive to make when you do it the way we do it which is very focused and I've done it before. Todd Phillips In 2010, my two Harvard mathematician colleagues and I dismantled kin-selection theory, which was the reigning theory of the origin of altruism at the time. E. O. Wilson This nation is like a spring freshet; it overruns its banks and destroys all who are in its path. Sitting Bull I'm the most low-maintenance person on the road. Lee Ann Womack I have to convince myself I know what I'm doing. Joe Namath I was an expert horseman. Harry Carey, Jr. Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land. Aldo Leopold I have spoken to a whole group of millionaires, head executives at Microsoft. Boy did I chew those guys out. Jack LaLanne Violence was almost an aphrodisiac for me. Woody Harrelson Any

The point is, the political reporters are the ones who no longer understand the ritual

they are covering. They keep searching for political meanings in the tepid events when a convention is now essentially a human drama and only that. William Greider Shields were generally made of wood, covered with leather, or some similar substance. To secure them, in some sort, from being cut through by the sword, they were surrounded with a hoop of metal. Thomas Bulfinch When you give an artist a canvas, you shouldn't tell him exactly how much paint to put on it, or exactly how sharp the images should be. You should let the artist get going. Reed Hundt There are a lot of stars I've worked with - big stars - who, when they walk on set, the energy just changes. Kathleen Robertson I played with so many musicians and some of the musicians would have something I want. I steal a lot of them, and I mash it up, I mash it up into my chords. David Edwards When I finally decided that my only hope was to go to college, I took an acting class, and once I walked onstage, I j

It is not a dream that someday, nations will be able to settle their difficulties

without war, just as individuals now settle their personal feuds without resorting to arguments of physical strength or sharp steel. For, then, humanity will have created international jurisdiction and a power to enforce its laws. Ellen Key I carried on acting during school holidays and was all set to go to drama school when I was offered my first professional job appearing in 'King David' with Richard Gere. Gina Bellman I work in fantasy all day, so when I go home, I want to touch reality. Johnny Galecki Tea makes everything better. Bindi Irwin In television, the writer-creator-showrunner is embraced as the creative mind. Jim Rash There are a number of candidate vaccines that are in development for HIV/AIDS. Anthony Fauci I don't know what to do if I am not inspiring some sort of false fascination. Elizabeth Wurtzel It was weird that most people knew me as someone let go from 'SNL.' I had the best time there, and in retrospect, it was the perfe

It's not an act. I love it. It's totally original. People go, 'What's going on

with this guy? Why does he sound so weird? What is going on in his brain. I don't know. Just one day I suddenly woke up with a new brain. Charlie Sheen I don't plan out my visits rigorously, but I do have a list of about 125 New York galleries, alternative spaces, museums, and so forth that I visit regularly. That's the closest thing I have to a strategy: I go to a lot of places, many that artists don't visit. Jerry Saltz I think that practising the law, particularly litigation, and particularly in Glasgow, has always been difficult enough without adding to it by having problems with professional colleagues or former colleagues. Len G. Murray I guess I found it useful to realise that everything is true at once, you know? You can pull back and say, 'Everything will be fine,' but you can also be in a situation and say, 'Not everything is going to be fine.' Feist Once you understand that someone has Tourette and that they can't help their ti

By and large, I'm in the same boat as other inventors. If we're lucky, of

the 10 or 15 items we do a year, maybe one or two of them wind up with a licensing agreement. Ralph H. Baer Keep the faith; work hard: practice does make you perfect. Do what you can, and meet the right people to make it work. Christina Milian Many people don't understand ring control. They think they do until they're against someone who really understands how to set traps, how to create holes in the octagon that they fall into. Conor McGregor I assisted on a lot of films outside my dad's company. I only did two of his films. Arjun Kapoor A tapper sticks to existing routines. Whereas hoofing... a hoofer pushes the art form. Savion Glover You don't want to hear about how much money I donate to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America or to AIDS awareness or to give out scholarships. You don't want to hear about that. Allen Iverson Animals need to understand other species, if only to prey on them or escape from them. Elizabeth Marshall Thomas For me, r

I love the idea of going to work and having to fight and learn a

new skill set, whether it's muay Thai or Kali or Filipino stick fighting. To me, it's like college for life. Jeremy Renner You wrestle one night, get up the next morning and fly out to the next city. You try to work out, you try to get some food into you and, lo and behold, you have to go work again. You are living out of a suitcase. Bill Goldberg If you're lucky enough to be raised in a rich family, good. But learn how to respect that luck. It's not a given, you know? It's not like, 'Well, it's normal'. No, it's not normal. It's lucky. Christopher Lambert I eat many different ice creams. I'm not an ice cream snob, although I do think Ben & Jerry's is the best. But I'm happy to eat anybody's ice cream, really. As long as it's good. Jerry Greenfield My philosophy in life... is to prove myself to myself and not to others. I tried to teach my children that, that I have to respect myself, to prove to myself that I

The quality of my life has changed dramatically - not the events - but the

way I handle them and my priorities and my sense of drama. Ali MacGraw Imagine - four years you could have spent travelling around Europe meeting people, or going to the Far East of Africa or India, meeting people, exchanging ideas, reading all you wanted to anyway, and instead I wasted it at Roosevelt. Shel Silverstein If you compulsively pun you are called a paronomasiac. Tim Vine You cannot find peace by avoiding life. Virginia Woolf The greater the effort, the greater the glory. Pierre Corneille Take your job seriously, but don't take yourself too seriously. Alex Trebek The only person I've had sex with on Jersey Shore is my boyfriend. Nicole Polizzi I was not a very fearful kid, really. Clive Owen I do not like violence. Abdurrahman Wahid My beauty icons are women whose images are self-created. Dita Von Teese

I like Muhammad a lot, because he's like us more than anybody else. Jesus is

just so exalted, and Buddha is just so exalted, it's almost beyond our reach. Deepak Chopra It didn't matter that Charlie Chaplin may not have been a great director or a great anything else. He made great movies. Jon Landau I've never lost perspective on who I am. Well, maybe briefly, but generally I'm pretty balanced. Sting After I saw the first thing I ever did, I got a migraine. Claire Forlani I'm an exhibitionist, I was an exhibitionist as a kid. Dave Van Ronk There are lots of emotions that go with the Fourth of July. Dan Harmon You can tell an honest artist from one who's just given all their songs. Rita Ora You're either living or you're dead. Lil Wayne Sanely applied advertising could remake the world. Stuart Chase I read a lot of thrillers, especially American crime novels. Kate Mosse

I use myself as the barometer to gauge what is scary. I like to think if something

scares me, then there's a very good chance an audience will feel the same way. James Wan I fought from the time I was eight years old, sometimes three, four fights a night. We did it to eat, and we did it because we were just tough kids. Jake LaMotta Whether I'm pursuing a story or conducting an interview or I'm at the bakery implementing policy and procedure, I have a team who is looking to me. I think my persona is the same for both jobs - perhaps a little bit more in command with the bakery. I say that only because we have so many more employees, and ultimately I make every single decision. Elizabeth Chambers I think there are some liberals who are extremely biased about Fox News and wish to shun it or wish to criticize any liberal who appears on Fox News. That, to me, is not a particularly liberal attitude. Alan Colmes Life is tough, and things don't always work out well, but we should be brave and go on with our lives.
