I'm not a fan of 3D as an audience member. I'm too old for it.

I don't like wearing the glasses over my glasses.
Ronald Meyer

The courtesy which most becomes a victor was denied to Germany for a long time.
Gustav Stresemann

It's not complicated to embrace life. You just have to make the choice.
Faith Hill

Our party believes in diversity, not uniformity.
Francis Maude

It's very good for me to remember what actors go through.
Martin Scorsese

But I don't read a lot of fiction. I prefer the nonfiction stuff.
Andy Richter

I write in American slang.
Norman Spinrad

Well, I like shopping.
Lianne La Havas

Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn't have the power to say yes.
Eleanor Roosevelt

'The Godfather' was the glorification of a bunch of bums who never existed.
Orson Welles

Years ago nobody was elected on the economic ticket. It was either the education platform,

or it was health or it was other issues. It is only recently that economic values have superceded every other human value. Anita Roddick The physical fabric of the world had to be such as to enable that ten billion year preliminary evolution to produce the raw materials of life. Without it there would not have been the chemical materials to allow life to evolve here on earth. John Polkinghorne I respect the Hall of Fame, and if they think that I'm worthy enough, I would be very honored. And if they don't, I gave it all that I had to this game. Rafael Palmeiro I'm pleased the administration is endorsing the need for legislation dealing with the chemical sector. In the past, the administration's position has been ambiguous. Susan Collins When I was 12 years old, I was hanging out with 23-year-olds. I was into cartoons and Pokemon, and they're all talking about girls. It was a strange way to grow up. Shaun White I read everything. I've always got a b

You have to understand: the narrative that people have about business and capitalism is that

they are fundamentally selfish, greedy, and exploitative. Of course, I don't agree with that narrative. John Mackey Sometimes, you just have to clear your head and get out to see other things. It is very important to be nourished. I love to go to museums and galleries, I like to see theatre, film, dance - anything creative. It doesn't promise you inspiration, but it nourishes your creative soul, and that's good. Marc Jacobs When I was growing up, I don't remember being told that America was created so that everyone could get rich. I remember being told it was about opportunity and the pursuit of happiness. Not happiness itself, but the pursuit. Martin Scorsese Folk music is music that everyday people can play, and it inspired a lot of people to make their own music. That trailed into making your own pop music, and that's why garage bands started springing up everywhere. Arlo Guthrie I'm a real nature lover, so whenever possible, I like to get to the

I've become wary of interviews in which you're forced to go back over the reasons

why you made certain decisions. You tend to rationalize what you've done, to intellectually review a process that is often intuitive. Peter Weir With this first novel, I am just above the foothills, but I see the path to the top, and it is my desire to write compelling stories about everything that I find of interest. Guy Johnson Even though the vast majority of my work was outside television, the amount of creation and inventing that went into the TV shows was non stop and, unknown to me, a great strain. Paul Daniels Black women, whose experience is unique, are seldom recognized as a particular social-cultural entity and are seldom thought to be important enough for serious scholarly consideration. Barbara Smith I wouldn't say anything is impossible. I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and put the work and time into it. Michael Phelps Either you write songs or you don't. And if you do write songs like I do, I think there

The only thing that being killed off on 'Graceland' helped me with on 'Game of

Thrones' is that it made me available to actually do the job. Pedro Pascal I associate heavy metal with fantasy because of the tremendous power that the music delivers. Christopher Lee In a television interview, I said that diversity in our children's books should include the adventures of disabled children, travellers and gipsies, LGBT teens, different cultures, classes, colours, religions. It shouldn't be a token gesture, nor do such stories need to be 'issue-based'. Malorie Blackman It sounds so cliched, but I've always been kind of different. I always liked being around weird kids. Cecily Strong I actually didn't really go to college. I enrolled and never showed up. Being on a college campus where we shot some of the scenes in 'The Goodwin Games'... it did make me wish that was an experience that I had. Adam Rodriguez It's very liberating to cut your hair. Pamela Anderson I always joke that they're all like my children,

Much of the impotence of American churches is tied to a profound ignorance and apathy

about justification. Our people live in a fog of guilt. Or just as bad, they think being a better person is all God requires. Kevin DeYoung I pay attention to how every makeup artist does everything. Gigi Hadid I had a brilliant trip to Mexico with my friend Ellie during my gap year. We thought we were being really cool and going off the beaten track while all our friends went to Thailand and Australia. The first beachside bar we walked into - there were two girls from my sixth form in there. Emily Berrington There is a qualitative difference between being a minority and being a majority. Majorities are stronger under psychological pressure because numbers count. But only if they are aware of it. Peter Abrahams I've realized that the most important thing I can do to look good is just treat myself well, whether it's getting a nice, long massage or just lying low and not going out every single night. Kim Cattrall Living organisms are created by chemistry. We are hu

I would absolutely love to go back to the simplicity of the '80s, where there

wasn't texting, social media, iPhones, or smartphones. I love the fact that you would go home and check your messages. I'm not well suited to the world of modern technology. Matthew Rhys I like the performing. And interviews, even. And the stuff that's not sitting in a room by yourself with empty paper. But I never loved writing, to tell you the truth. Randy Newman When you break a sweat you just feel great. You've got your endorphins going. You feel better. You look better. And if you aren't able to get a workout in, try to find a steam room somewhere. You just look and feel so much better after a sweat. Nicole Scherzinger I grew up kind of a tomboy and I used to fight with all the neighborhood boys. Edie Falco I like the body. I like to design everything to do with the body. Gianni Versace I have always been a Malibu Man, like all actors. Nick Mancuso Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. Paulo Coelho My

On the issues that I care deeply about - the environment, Roe vs. Wade, the

war in Iraq, with no weapons of mass destruction, the tax cuts that are now leading to deficits, I've got some deep issues with the president. Lincoln Chafee Few things are so deadly as a misguided sense of compassion. Charles Colson If we have no respect for our viewers, then how can we have any respect for ourselves and what we do? Christiane Amanpour Trips to the dentist - I like to postpone that kind of thing. Johnny Depp Glory paid to our ashes comes too late. Marcus Valerius Martial They wanted me to play third like Brooks so I did play like Brooks - Mel Brooks. Andy Van Slyke He who has never failed somewhere, that man can not be great. Herman Melville Ice-cream is exquisite - what a pity it isn't illegal. Voltaire

The thing I really love about film is there's a really big sense of teamwork,

and everyone has to do their job to the best of their ability to make the film work in the first place. Sarah Snook To send humans back to the moon would not be advancing. It would be more than 50 years after the first moon landing when we got there, and we'd probably be welcomed by the Chinese. But we should return to the moon without astronauts and build, with robots, an international lunar base, so that we know how to build a base on Mars robotically. Buzz Aldrin One of the first papers I wrote at the University of Wisconsin, in 1977, was on stem cells. I realized that if I changed the environment that these cells were in, I could turn the cells into bone, and if I changed the environment a bit more, they would form fat cells. Bruce Lipton Nobody is offered a World Cup. Abby Wambach Archaeology holds all the keys to understanding who we are and where we come from. Sarah Parcak I think performers are all show-offs anyway, especially musicians. Unless you show off,

I had almost forgotten to tell you that I have already been to the Parliament

House; and yet this is of most importance. For, had I seen nothing else in England but this, I should have thought my journey thither amply rewarded. Karl Philipp Moritz Most of the time I feel stupid, insensitive, mediocre, talentless and vulnerable - like I'm about to cry any second - and wrong. I've found that when that happens, it usually means I'm writing pretty well, pretty deeply, pretty rawly. Andre Dubus III Looking forward, it might prove constructive to examine the true historical record of an issue prior to assuming the worst of anyone's motive and deconstructing and questioning anyone's Democratic bona fides. After all, we liberals got feelings. Gary Ackerman I loved that these two guys argued with each other as if movies actually mattered. Nobody I knew talked about movies that way, but Siskel and Ebert took each movie as it came and talked about whether it was a success on its own terms. Sarah Vowell The waltz can be sad and at the same ti

While Taliban fighters had an initial claim to protection under the conventions, they lost POW

status by failing to obey the standards of conduct for legal combatants: wearing uniforms, a responsible command structure, and obeying the laws of war. John Yoo It is one thing to praise discipline, and another to submit to it. Miguel de Cervantes Negotiations are a euphemism for capitulation if the shadow of power is not cast across the bargaining table. George Schultz An Englishman, being flattered, is a lamb; threatened, a lion. George Chapman I try to stay positive by focusing on how much I'll appreciate my health if I get better. Daniel Johns Sorrow is knowledge, those that know the most must mourn the deepest, the tree of knowledge is not the tree of life. Lord Byron It was terrible on dates, because I could never eat when I was on a date. Robert Barnes
