I always loved my mother, felt loved, but she was judgmental. Her father

in Ireland didn't approve of women generally, and she took on his values. She believed her own mother was foolish.
Julie Walters

I attribute a lot of the success to Live 105, of course, because it's something they've nurtured and grown.
Davey Havok

At this point, it's either for fun or it's for money. I don't take movies that I don't really like.
Terence Stamp

You'd never have a motorcycle policeman out on the Indian reservation.
Alex Cox

In order to work well, markets need a basic level of trust.
James Surowiecki

Everyone has an identity crisis when they are 16 or 17 years old.
Sara Zarr

For us, the pressure comes from internal matter of having recorded eight records.
Davey Havok

Knowing policy does help make the gossip more understandable.
Tabitha Soren

I love dogs, horses and generally all animals.

If you... scaled down human beings, scaled down society, if you land with a group

of little boys, they are more like a scaled-down version of society than a group of little girls would be. William Golding I've been performing since I was a child; my mother would have to pull me aside and tell me that I wasn't onstage. I was a cheerleader, president of choir, and in the school play. Aja Naomi King I am a very strong supporter of our government's view that it is important to engage with all countries around the world - very much including Russia. Chrystia Freeland I was wrapping up my stint on 'Daredevil' co-writing with Andy Diggle during the Shadowland story, when Marvel asked if I was interested in doing something else with DD but a bit different. When they explained the purpose of the 'Season One' books, I was intrigued - I'm a big advocate of books for people new to the medium - and said yes. Antony Johnston Spike Lee gave me the greatest reaction to the fact that I was this athlete-meets-artist, because I think he saw ...

We underestimate children and the people who work with them. I swear - so often, I tell

people I am a children's author, and it's like they want to pat me on the head: 'Aw, isn't that sweet.' Kathi Appelt There is a disconnect in education and work. And corporates don't do a great job of skilling. In future, corporates and educational institutions will work closely. Shiv Nadar I played semi-professionally for a season, and there's an element of performance to being a footballer, stepping onto the pitch: you feel like a gladiator walking into a colosseum. Callum Turner We used to indulge hopelessly as a family at Christmas. When the children were little, I dressed up as Father Christmas. They knew it was a gag, but they loved it. I remember stealing into their bedrooms at 1 A.M. and filling the stockings up at the end of the bed. Richard Attenborough What we, as black people, need to do is we need to worry about our education. Charles Barkley I was never the person who came up with a boom somehow. I worked slowly and consistently, making my wa...

I can't say I'm a full-on gamer, since, basically, I just don't have time for it. I know

nowadays, gaming can be a lot like social media. People just stay on it all day long. Like they're logged into the Matrix. But yeah, I enjoy it. When I get the time. Roman Reigns I'll hear us on classic rock radio stations, and I'll go, 'Oh, my God, we're getting old!' Mike McCready Thin applications and small amounts in the right places is kind of the way to go with metallics for every day. Pat McGrath Lynyrd Skynyrd is not a political band, but you know what? We believe in this country. We have a soft spot for our military. We love the red, white and blue, and every night we dedicate a portion of our show to our fighting men. Rickey Medlocke My mom was a high school science teacher for decades. She just never made it feel like we had to choose between the arts and the sciences. We had bookshelves full of novels, and she also had Rachel Carson and Aldo Leopold and Carl Sagan. Anthony Doerr After a workout, you definitely have to have a protein shake. I drink ...

I like George W. At a time when this country was hit hard, he

stood up for America. He's been the leader of the free world during the hardest time America's ever had. Johnny Van Zant In the 21st century, our adversaries will continue to use cyberattacks against us. We need to be prepared to defend our networks against this growing threat to our democracy, especially the most fundamental part of our political system: our elections. Amy Klobuchar I grew up in a lot of different places, mostly in Kansas, I really started thinking seriously about acting in high school; I just did it better than most of the other activities in school. Paul Rudd I thought, 'Nobody wants this book, and I'm an idiot for having worked on it so hard.' But to succeed in writing, you must be willing to look stupid for a long time. 'Pachinko' took so long because I got it wrong so many times. Min Jin Lee The most calmest place I can be is the studio. And like, I stay in there 'cause I know, when I come out, it...

I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to

advance policies that level the playing field for American workers and incentivize investing in jobs here at home.Elizabeth Esty Every woman needs a private pin money stash. That is her own personal stash of cash to do with whatever she wants. It gives a woman freedom even if she doesn't spend it - especially if she doesn't spend it.Sarah Ban Breathnach For each project I do, I try to surprise myself, do the unexpected, and change my own status quo. From the One Laptop Per Child, the Herman Miller Sayl, or the latest Movado watch collection, there is always an insecurity about being able to do something important. I think each of those projects makes me feel like we have progressed.Yves Behar If you're going to be a big tent party as we are, and you're going to help elect democrats who have generated support in their communities... the will of those voters is the will that we must respect.Tom Perez There is an obvious truth here that must be spoken. The trut...

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 ...

I believe that the artist's involvement in the capitalist structure is disadvantageous to the artist

and forces him to produce objects in order to live. Sol LeWitt I think when tattoos are new and colorful, they look bad. But they look better the older and more bleached out they become. Urs Fischer That's a mistake I think that a lot of Western observers make is to assume that Korean nationalism is hundreds if not thousands of years old. When in fact nationalism is incompatible with Korean Confucian tradition. Brian Reynolds Myers Cameras in classrooms are no substitute for greater authority by parents and teachers. Paul Weyrich Infrastructure spending does not create immediate jobs, and more than half of those jobs will pull from the pool of the already employed. Mark McKinnon Watching previous figure skaters, I always wondered why they cried after their performance. Kim Yuna The sexes in each species of being... are always true equivalents - equals but not identical. Antoinette Brown Blackwell I just remember Stella Tenant and me dancing in Donatella Versace...

The casualties in the Civil War amount to more than all other wars - all

other American wars combined. More people died in that war than World War II, World War I, Vietnam, etc. And that was a war for white supremacy. It was a war to erect a state in which the basis of it was the enslavement of black people.Ta-Nehisi Coates It is the forces of the universe that make human beings fall ill. Having learnt to recognize how sun qualities and moon qualities live in plants, animals and minerals, we discover how we can find counterforces and also individual natural forces that point us towards medicines for specific internal illnesses.Rudolf Steiner Girls are socialised in ways that are harmful to their sense of self - to reduce themselves, to cater to the egos of men, to think of their bodies as repositories of shame. As adult women, many struggle to overcome, to unlearn, much of that social conditioning.Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie 'They' are the people that don't believe in you, that say that you won't succeed. We stay away from 'They....

I have always maintained that it's not the quantity of work, but the quality that

should speak. I have maintained the same for my music albums, too. I have always released them after a gap of two to three years.Adnan Sami In all my days of schooling, from preschool all the way up to 12th grade, there was not one white person in my class. Literally zero.Kendrick Lamar The truth is that searching for our commonality instead of our differences could transform our dysfunctional politics.Raja Krishnamoorthi It came down to the AHCA or the continued disaster of Obamacare, which was an easy choice. The AHCA is a major improvement, because a federal one-size-fits-all approach to health care isn't the answer.Cathy McMorris Rodgers I'm really glad I had the chance to live in Jensen Beach and Stuart before everything exploded. I'm always going to be fond of that area. For me, it was a sleepy little fishing town, and it kind of represents what Florida was before the development explosion.Judge Reinhold Space is much stiffer than you imagine; it's ...

I feel like my music has become a lot of things. It's hard to label

the evolution, but I like there to be an evolution. I just like to paint with all different kinds of colors. Taylor Swift Do not keep saying to yourself, if you can possibly avoid it, 'But how can it be like that?' because you will get 'down the drain,' into a blind alley from which nobody has yet escaped. Nobody knows how it can be like that. Richard P. Feynman During the Olympics they're really strict about what you're allowed to wear. You get a lot of clothes, but everything is pre-ordered. We had a fitting over the summer. You're not allowed to wear your own clothes. No logos, nothing. You get fined if you wear something you're not supposed to wear. Henrik Lundqvist When I am back in old Blighty, I am surrounded by the old and familiar concerns: New Labour, Europe, the Middle East and the rest. If you live in Britain, you will know what I mean - except you won't, because you will take it for granted that this is what the world is all abo...
