I feel so grateful when I see a movie and there's a woman who looks

somewhat like me. I'm like, 'Thank you, Samantha Morton!' You know, a woman who feels like a human being. That means so much to me.
Melanie Lynskey

I think it's important that nobody forgets that although Hollywood commercially dominates the world cinema, in fact what comes out of the filmmaking here is only a tiny slice out of the massive amount of operation that goes on around the world.
Mike Leigh

For girls, something that accentuates the curves looks sexy. It can be a dress, it can be jeans, it can be a tank top, who cares!
Brody Jenner

I left home when I was 17 with Joe Williams.
David Edwards

I have four dogs, four horses, a cat, and a bunch of wild frogs.
Daryl Hannah

I'm really the candidate who has really lived his whole life in suburbia.
Bob McDonnell

Housekeeping is like being caught in a revolving door.
Marcelene Cox

I didn't really get a normal childhood.
Evan Rachel Wood

Ben Vereen is going to be on the show with me, too.
Liza Minnelli

You know how arrogant the French are - extraordinary.
Gordon Ramsay

There is constant talk about the intermarriage crisis: who is a Jew and how

we define a Jew. That doesn't go over well with young Jews trying to figure out whether they want to be a part of this thing or not. Tahl Raz I've been studying voice for quite a while, especially opera, for at least seven or eight years. Shelly Burch Like anything, I remember who I work for. You work for the people who sent you to office. Darryl Glenn For the bourgeoisie, the main danger against which it had to be protected, that which had to be avoided at all costs, was armed uprising, was the armed people, was the workers taking to the streets in an assault against the government. Michel Foucault My grandmother is a huge part of my life. She's just a great woman: a woman of the church. Chance The Rapper I don't think we can fix poverty without fixing housing, and I don't think we can address housing without understanding landlords. Matthew Desmond One of my best friends since I was eleven years old is a gay man, and I knew his struggle. It was a tough life, you ...

Tough times have always lent themselves to nativist sentiments and closed-door policies. But in the

case of highly skilled immigrants, these policies are a recipe for stagnation. James Surowiecki I use that as my responsibility on the show, to be the pragmatist. Fisher Stevens I don't have to put on shoulder pads and run out there and let somebody hit on me a little bit. Emmitt Smith Nothing scares me but God. Lil Wayne Not to like ice cream is to show oneself uninterested in food. Joseph Epstein One's life has many compartments. Harold Pinter Government just simply can't do everything for everyone. Jan Brewer I now walk into the wild. Christopher McCandless No, I'm not a scientologist. Katharine McPhee I always look for reality. I look for plain truthful roles. Jim Caviezel

I love being in the studio, and I am a huge fan of live music.

Without writing good stuff in the studio, you have nothing to play live. Anthony Hamilton I purposely don't talk about money, because people are already skeptical about TV preachers. But I do say that I want you to be blessed. To me, prosperity is having health, having great children, having peace, good relationships. It's not about the money. Joel Osteen When I was between 2 and 3 years old, I got to know my first non-human being. The non-human was a cocker spaniel named Baba. We weren't friends, Baba and I, nor enemies. He wasn't my dog. He belonged to the people my mother worked for, and he lived in the house with them and us. Octavia E. Butler I was considered the luckiest of all the female gypsies since I landed the job as social secretary to Ambassador and Mrs. David Bruce at the American Embassy. Letitia Baldrige Some musicians like to decorate their walls with discs saying: '1 million records sold in America.' I prefer to put up discs marking...

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...

If the film is a hit then everyone shares the success. If it is going

to be a disaster then it might as well be because of me, not because of somebody else. Salman Khan Is Europe going to be breaking? I don't think so. I think the euro will stay. I think at the end of the day Europeans will find the solutions in order to hold Europe together. Carlos Ghosn Attending that Convention and talking with those people and many others convinced me that I should become a blogger in my efforts to reform the government and uphold the integrity of the Constitution and the laws made in furtherance thereof. John Jay Hooker I always liked serve-and-volley players and big athletes. Richard Krajicek I never read reviews at all. I'm proud of the work I did. Nicole Kidman I only understand friendship or scorched earth. Roger Ailes It's a wise thing to hold back. Julian Clary I don't like violence. Katey Sagal I get nervous every time, for every single performance, before getting up on that stage. Thia Megia Those early days of come...

Whether the prayer of Seneca was granted we do not know; but, as we do

not again hear of Marcus, it is probable that he died before his father, and that the line of Seneca, like that of so many great men, became extinct in the second generation. Frederic William Farrar There is a formula that allows you to write a decent song. But a song like 'You're All I Need to Get By,' it just writes itself. Valerie Simpson A sudden dart when a little over a hundred feet from the end of the track, or a little over 120 feet from the point at which it rose into the air, ended the flight. Orville Wright Winning excuses everything. Cam Newton You won't catch me giving clear lectures. Donald Norman Faith is a state of openness or trust. Alan Watts Man is a make-believe animal: he is never so truly himself as when he is acting a part. William Hazlitt To some people heavy metal is Motorhead and to others it's Judas Priest. Glenn Danzig In Paris, everybody is in black! But you know, in Ukraine everyone wears bright colours. Olga Ku...

My father's encouragement is what has brought me this far, because when I grew up

I wanted to be like him, and I knew I had that ability to become an athlete. Being an Olympian is one of the greatest things, and being an Olympic gold medallist is one of the most prestigious titles in the world. David Rudisha The 'American Idol' and 'X Factor' shows, they're great shows. But I think I need to make a show like that, directed straight to the hood, to the artists that don't get the attention, that don't have the money to make themselves representable. Snoop Dogg So just as I want pilots on the planes that I fly, when it comes to monetary policy, I want to think that there is someone with sound judgement at the controls. Martin Feldstein Me and my sisters all have such different body types. Kim Kardashian Don't you find that work, if you love it, is actually really invigorating? Cate Blanchett Boston is safe. And we're going to keep it safe. Thomas Menino I think people know that I've got a good heart. David Hass...

I know when I go outside, there'll be a van or two and they'll probably

follow us four out of seven days a week, trying to get something. But I'm just going across town and I know they're just wasting their day, so it doesn't bother me anymore. Brad Pitt Americans believe that people should work hard and get ahead on their own, but when disaster strikes and they need help with retirement or disability, Americans as a whole should come to their aid. Jacob Hacker Personally, I just got one of these Vonage IP phones. It's actually pretty cool. It comes with one of these Cisco ATA routers where you just plug an analog handset in. Rob Glaser I'm a writer first and an editor second... or maybe third or even fourth. Successful editing requires a very specific set of skills, and I don't claim to have all of them at my command. Lynn Abbey The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. Jim Morrison But the p...

I am politically pro-choice, but personally pro-life. I have my faith but refuse to force

it on the world at large - especially this world, so brutal and unjust. I cannot make these wrenching personal life and death decisions for others - nor do I believe they should be made by a church run by childless men. Julianna Baggott The elusive truth is that there is nothing stress-producing in the physical world. Things simply are. Molecules move. Light and sound appear. Andrew J. Bernstein I love being domestic: making coffee, just putting on a record, and just sitting, not doing anything. It's so great. Sharon Van Etten On the Internet, information from Indiana and India is equally cheap and easy to access. Ethan Zuckerman The soul has many motions, body one. Theodore Roethke I did think there were one or two referees who had a personal thing against me. It wasn't them versus Celtic - it was them against me! I just think they wanted to take me on. Gordon Strachan The first job of a writer is to be honest. Irvine Welsh I love to doubt as well as know....

There was a uniqueness to the American case of slavery. 10 million people, a conservative

estimate, were brought to America... hundreds of people were set up in work camps, and hereditary-forced labor was put in place. That's a very different thing than the personal slavery that existed elsewhere. Edward Ball I'm very competitive but in a very nice way. Faith Hill I always feel I can play a role - just give me the time to do the preparation and I'll be it. Mira Sorvino I'm a Catholic, but I used to love going to Vacation Bible School with my fundamentalist friends. Paul Begala I'm taking a lot of freestyle music and flipping it. Pitbull You don't boo at a Kemp rally. You boo at football games. Jack Kemp And I watch 'Saturday Night Live' religiously, I have since I was a little boy. I watch it basically like one of my favorite sports teams. Ty Burrell Audrey Hepburn's face was made for the camera. Christine Baranski Trends don't interest me. Manolo Blahnik
