When I knew I was pregnant four years ago with a boy, a friend suggested

I call him Cary, but I initially resisted. There was only one Cary Grant. But a week before he was due, I started thinking it would be wonderful to pass the name on to him. And anyway, my father wasn't Cary to me. He was Dad.
Jennifer Grant

There is a widespread assumption that simply because my generation of women has the good fortune to live in a world touched by the feminist movement, that means everything we do is magically imbued with its agenda, but it doesn't work that way.
Ariel Levy

It wasn't until 'Thor' that I started lifting weights. It was all pretty new to me.
Chris Hemsworth

The presidency of the Euro group is an interesting and important task.
Wolfgang Schauble

Memory isn't a theme; it's part of the human condition.
Hilary Mantel

What I do is not rocket science, but I sure do love it.
Kyle Chandler

My approach to politics is that I'm not a Democrat or a Republican. I'm an American and I always support candidates I think are great for the country.
Marc Benioff

I'm the prime minister who removed 400 checkpoints, barriers, road-blocks and so on to facilitate the growth of the Palestinian economy.
Benjamin Netanyahu

Growing up, we had folk records.
Alison Krauss

You can use a lot of different technologies to create something that doesn't really have a lot of value.

When Paul Allen and I started Microsoft over 30 years ago, we had

big dreams about software. We had dreams about the impact it could have. Bill Gates My death is incidental, and I worry very much about my loved ones and, you know, would like to make it as easy as possible for them. Or wish I could will away whatever, you know, the sadness they will feel when I die. But for me, nothing. The world goes on. Barbara Ehrenreich I was watching TV one day, and there was this open casting call for extras, and my brother says, 'You wanna try out for this movie?' and I said, 'No, I'm okay.' And then he said, 'Do you wanna be on a DVD?' And I said, 'I wanna be on a DVD!,' so I tried out. CJ Adams Since I am from Spain, once the morning has gone, I like to take a nap while falling asleep to black and white movies. It feels less lonely. There is a comfort in hearing their voices, like when you're a child and your mother tells you a story before bedtime. Jordi Molla I can take all the negative energy and turn it ...

As a lawyer, I've dealt with really serious offences, and the public rarely hear what the true

impact is on the victims' families. When you hear it from the mouths of victims, your entire approach changes, because it could happen to anybody, and they articulate that in such a powerful way. Robert Rinder Self-imposed discipline with a bent towards results rather than 'creative' and sustainability spending is unfortunately not the norm in the marketing industry. Ryan Holiday The Libertadores is sensational, but the Champions League... The first time I heard the anthem was a really special feeling. It's like being in a video game; it's living the dream of every child. Neymar You can't reason with gang violence: you can't talk to it, sit it at the table, and negotiate with it. Greg Boyle Growing up, I did not have many friends with parents who were together. Adam Scott The TV mini-series is kind of a lost genre because the networks have given up on it. Bonnie Hammer The 'Bolton News' is the best place for online comments. They say I'm an abs...

In Giacometti's work, the armature has once again become the life-line of the

sculpture, and also, he's brought back to sculpture a nervous sensitivity which the 'pure carving' side of sculpture can lose sight of altogether. Henry Moore It's really fun to get into that process of creating an album and telling a story. I really love it. Gretchen Parlato If I got a chance to play with another great player, I want to do that. I mean, the objective is to win. Charles Barkley I'm still 19, and I've got a lot to learn. I've got to keep improving and not get too carried away with myself. Dele Alli There is power in helping people get excited about what they do and inspiring and motivating them to unleash their full potential. Denise Morrison When we fought for freedom, for the establishment of a Jewish state, we didn't send a questionnaire to the Jewish nation asking if it wanted a Jewish state. Yitzhak Shamir I had originally wanted to be a lawyer. Even when I went to college and majored in engineering, I still thought I'd get a la...

We have to prove that digital manufacturing is inclusive. Then, the true narrative will emerge:

Welcome, robots. You'll help us. But humans are still our future. Joe Kaeser I grew up loving cartoons, comics, magic, and writing. Paul Dini Before I went off to Rutgers, I worked in a comic book shop in my hometown. At night, I would work on some comic stories, and after a while, I developed an idea for a weird little superhero spoof comic called 'Cement Shooz.' Christopher McCulloch I think I've had 16 books that purport to be a biography of me. I've never cooperated with someone. Warren Beatty Sometimes, the action genre does get stale. Although I want to go back and see my favorite characters in their tentpoles - and will religiously do that - it's really fun to see breakout ideas and concepts. Let's make some new stories. David Leitch Many tax experts say a key element to any fundamental overhaul is getting rid of certain deductions for businesses - the 'special-interest giveaways that are masked as tax breaks,' as House Republicans describe ...

Can we achieve 140 mpg fuel economy? You bet. Just get the bureaucrats out of the way, and

Yankee ingenuity will do the rest. Robert Zubrin Nature is the fountain's head, the source from whence all originality must spring. John Constable I'm constantly struggling in interviews to engage and finish sentences, because I am being asked personal questions from somebody I don't know. Katherine Waterston I know actors with promising careers who get blown out of the business, never to return. Everett McGill I don't think that Argentinian cinema is well-known outside Argentina the way it should be. Guillermo del Toro Tobe Hooper - he did my favorite horror movie, 'Texas Chain Saw Massacre.' It's still one of my favorite horror films. Fred Willard I have great Indian genes! You know, I'm lazy. I want to take advantage of the fact that I have a great metabolism. When I start getting fat, I'll work on it! I like food, and I don't like the gym, and as long as I look like this without doing anything, why bother? Priyanka Chopra The idea of a comp...

I never stopped DJing through the entire 'Game of Thrones' process. I never saw the

need to stop because I do love it so much. Kristian Nairn R-rated comedies make as much money as PG-13. And I think the audiences wanna be shocked. Especially with comedy. Nicholas Stoller In 'Maaya,' I'm going shirtless for the first time in my career. My producer requested me to take off my shirt in one of the scenes. I have been working extremely hard to flaunt a perfect body for the scene. Harshvardhan Rane When every word is parsed for ill intention, regardless of who is speaking or why, we become so afraid we'll offend that we stop trying to communicate with people we don't understand. Marti Noxon I don't understand when you say I'm a man or I have a deep voice. I know I'm a female, so there's no question for me. Caster Semenya We had a field day before anyone knew anything about shorting. It was almost a license to steal. Nowadays, it's a license to get hosed. Julian Robertson Now we're dealing with a younger generation of terrorists ...

Environmental problems cannot be resolved here the way they are resolved in other countries. I

heard that 80 per cent of the environmental problems in the U.S. are solved in court. That can't happen here. Ma Jun I don't care where you went to school. There - have I made your day? No? All right, I'll go further: I also don't care what your dad did for a living or how your mum voted. Nor do I mind whether you ate your tea in front of the telly, dinner at the kitchen table, or supper in the dining room. Robert Webb The word 'art' interests me very much. If it comes from Sanskrit, as I've heard, it signifies 'making.' Now everyone makes something, and those who make things on a canvas with a frame, they're called artists. Formerly, they were called craftsmen, a term I prefer. We're all craftsmen, in civilian or military or artistic life. Marcel Duchamp I was an anxious kid. I worried about getting homework finished, even back when homework didn't count for anything. Andrea Seigel You really do have the license during fashio...

My parents moved to American Samoa when I was three or four years old. My

dad was principal of a high school there. It was idyllic for a kid. I had a whole island for a backyard. I lived there until I was eight years old and we moved to Santa Barbara. Eric Stoltz If you accept the belief that baptism incorporates us in the mystical body of Christ, into the divine DNA, then you might say that the Holy Spirit is present in each of us, and thus we have the capacity for the fullness of redemption, of transformation. Thomas Keating My first name, Benjamin, dates back a thousand years earlier to Benjamin - Binyamin - the son of Jacob, who was also known as Israel. Jacob and his 12 sons roamed these same hills of Judea and Sumeria 4,000 years ago, and there's been a continuous Jewish presence in the land ever since. Benjamin Netanyahu I was cast in 'Thor' and I'm cast as a Nordic god. If you know anything about the Nords, they don't look like me but there you go. I think that's a sign of the times for the future. I think we will see...

We need to establish boundaries between our personal and professional lives. When we don't, our

work, our health, and our personal lives suffer. Travis Bradberry Originality is dangerous. Salman Rushdie I think the War on Terror is really absurd, especially coming from a country that is founded on terrorism. Alice Walker If I hear about a tsunami that hit Asia, hundreds of people have lost their lives, and you see it and you hear about it, but you still brush your teeth, still have to go on with your day. But let you get information about one person who you're close to or you're intimate with, it has an almost paralyzing effect. Ryan Coogler Once you have a computer that can do a few things - strictly speaking, one that has a certain 'sufficient set' of basic procedures - it can do basically anything any other computer can do. This, loosely, is the basis of the great principle of 'Universality'. Richard P. Feynman My plays are always pushing towards cinema anyway. They're down and dirty, real and more fun. Martin McDonagh I consider m...

Also by my earliest days, I was fascinated by a utopian vision of what the

world could be like. I've thought that science could be the basis for a better world, and that's what I've been trying to do all these years. George E. Brown, Jr. Marriage is an adventure, like going to war. Gilbert K. Chesterton Simplicity and repose are the qualities that measure the true value of any work of art. Frank Lloyd Wright I believe that present day civilized man suffers from insufficient discharge of his aggressive drive. Konrad Lorenz Democracy is constructed like an edifice, freedom by freedom, right by right, until it reaches its snapping point. Abdoulaye Wade Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid. Orson Welles It's bad when you fail morally. It's worse when you don't repent. Luis Palau
