The Tory party is like a rugby union match in which all 30 players are

wearing the same strip. They're not sure who they are grabbing round the knees, but they're having a lot of fun doing it.
Simon Hoggart

Godot is whatever it is in life that you are waiting for: 'I'm waiting to win the lottery. I'm waiting to fall in love'. For me, as a child, it was Christmas. At least that eventually came.
Ian Mckellen

I truly don't know why it was ended, though. It was suddenly decided that that would be it. They never said particularly why, because they were cut off in their prime.
Derek Jacobi

Turkey, Australia, and Japan are three of my top destinations.
Rick Riordan

If the money's right, I'll do a film.
Oliver Reed

I didn't discover curves; I only uncovered them.
Mae West

I hear God as an audible voice.
David Oyelowo

I'm happily single.
Paula Abdul

Just do what you like to do, and do it all the time.
Leif Garrett

I think each shoot has a different personality.

Priority is placed on the chastity of women. You can be corrupt, or a murderer

and still hold your head up high on the street without problems, whereas if there are any suspicions of your chastity and moral behaviour as a woman, you get lynched. Safak Pavey You have to say now that space is something. Space can vibrate, space can fluctuate, space can be quantum mechanical, but what the devil is it? Leonard Susskind I don't think Russia could start a war by attacking any of the NATO member states. Milos Zeman Like every artist that comes out, you want to make a mark; you want to be a household name and you want to be someone that people are going to look back in ten years/fifteen years' time and go, 'I love this guy Olly Murs. He was brilliant back in the day; he was someone I really, really liked.' Olly Murs Fundamentally, the basis of all modern progress is the efficiency of labor. And the only sure road to restored prosperity is through the thrift and hard work of our people as a whole. Charles M. Schwab May we treasure the divine...

In 1969, we decided we had to do certain things technically to

win, and we decided to do them then, even though we knew some of the personnel couldn't do it. In other words, instead of adapting the system to the players, we just installed our system. Then we set out to fill our team through the draft. Chuck Noll Al Sharpton is not important. He's nothing more than a black pawn in a very sophisticated white economic chess game. Byron Allen Art should not be bound by barriers or language. The Hindi film industry is a testament to that. We speak only Hindi, but we premiere in Germany and Japan. Our films do phenomenally well there. We transcend the barriers of language and culture. We welcome you in. I think that's what art should be, and I hope America reaches that place. Priyanka Chopra Main characters should grow and change during the course of a story. Leigh Michaels 'Sweetback' represented an economic tour de force because I had no partners; I own it. Melvin Van Peebles It's not natural to ou...

Of-course we did, but we didn't reply because we knew once this leaks the others

will scatter, so in the few days we moved quickly before the press got hold of it. The press did get hold of it a few days later, we nabbed, we were able to get 15, the others got away. Lee Kuan Yew I never quite understand why we watch the news. There doesn't really seem much point watching somebody tell you what the news is when you could quite easily listen to it on the radio. John Hurt The old idea of a composer suddenly having a terrific idea and sitting up all night to write it is nonsense. Nighttime is for sleeping. Benjamin Britten Bigotry murders religion to frighten fools with her ghost. Charles Caleb Colton I love to go to Washington - if only to be near my money. Bob Hope Every silver lining has a cloud. Mary Kay Ash But in reality we are accompanied by the whole dancing universe. Ruth St. Denis

The great myth that many social scientists want to encourage is that there is an

incompatibility between modern technology and traditional religion. This is absolute nonsense. If anything, it's the reverse. Rodney Stark And I was in another band called Flash In The Pan, which was soca, Latin music, down in Laguna Beach. Travis Barker I'm very thankful to players like John Stockton and Spud Webb. They've made it possible for someone like me to make it. I think teams are actually looking for one player under 6-feet now, because they make things happen. Scott Brooks I don't like the 'must', the 'always', and the 'never' words. I don't like 'no' either. Viggo Mortensen When actors first come up, you're auditioning for everything - you're trying to sniff it out like a pig with a truffle and you would do anything! Bryan Cranston I must represent France, and I want to be elegant, and I want the French people to be proud of me, you know. Carla Bruni Yoga helps me be a stronger runner. I can lose ...

I would have to say the most challenging thing about directing is the sheer stamina

because... as a director, you're always doing something. Someone always needs to talk to you. There are always decisions to be made and every day for as long as the movie goes on. So it's a marathon... You don't have to look nice, but it's all day every day. Michael Urie It's been a joy to be a part of other people's journey, to be able to inspire and be a part of new singers coming up in this business. Christina Aguilera It wasn't that I got pinned against my locker, but I was intensely aware that the things I valued weren't shared by anyone. Girls didn't like me, and I had few friends. Josh Groban We must also win really sufficient and, above all, practical, guarantees for the freedom of the seas and for the further fulfilment of our economic and political tasks throughout the world. Bernhard von Bulow For thugs from the ghetto, violence is a way of life - it's what helps you survive. Suge Knight Now we are using the body scanner to s...

I was a tomboy. In my clubbing days, my friend Lucy Davies-Hunt - half-Iranian, looked

like Yasmin Le Bon - could wear catsuits, while I was the one in the sweatshirt, jeans, and Fila boots. Maxine Peake My roots are documentaries. David L. Wolper Paolo Maldini never won, but he was the best defender in the world. Gianluigi Buffon never won; he was the best goalkeeper in the world for many years. But this is the story of the Ballon d'Or. Antonio Conte Young entrepreneurs, in general, feel they're too busy running their companies, which I think is a mistake. But once they're older, you see much more of a propensity to be involved in philanthropy. Jeffrey Skoll I thought there was a glitch when they told me that in two or three weeks 'My Church' hit a million streams. Maren Morris The key is that I'm trying to keep growing and trying to keep learning and deepen my connection in every way, in my life, in my work. That's what I do when I look at a role. Forest Whitaker It strikes me as pretty interesting and cool how girls support each other in t...

The day when a sportsman stops thinking above all else of the happiness in his

own effort and the intoxication of the power and physical balance he derives from it, the day when he lets considerations of vanity or interest take over, on this day his ideal will die. Pierre de Coubertin One of my side strange abilities is to hear a good song, no matter how it's being performed. Even if you get a bad performance, I can still hear that there's a good song. Manfred Mann When we describe what the other person is really like, I suppose we often picture what we want. We look through the prism of our need. Ellen Goodman After a certain point, money is meaningless. It ceases to be the goal. The game is what counts. Aristotle Onassis A face to lose youth for, to occupy age With the dream of, meet death with. Robert Browning A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art. Paul Cezanne Like Noel Brown and Scotty, they recorded as the Chosen Few, and I recorded as Dennis Brown then. Dennis Brown

See, the 'On the Road' that came out in 1957 was censored. A

lot of the honesty of it, the bitter honesty, is in the original scroll version that came out in 2007 on the 50-year anniversary. Back then, there was so much post-Second World War fear that was imposed on everybody - 'You must live life this way' - and these guys were bored. Garrett Hedlund The love scenes that worked, regardless of the director, were the ones where the actors weren't fearful. When somebody was fearful, you could see it right away. It takes you out of the story, and that's to be avoided at all costs. Jennifer Beals I built my entire life on the idea of independence. Valerie Trierweiler The fact that we are I don't know how many millions of people, yet communication, complete communication, is completely impossible between two of those people, is to me one of the biggest tragic themes in the world. Georges Simenon The characteristic of coquettes is affectation governed by whim. Henry Fielding Someday in the distant cyborg future, when...

I think that most people in the Middle East, at least 50%, believe in being sharia-compliant. If

you're sharia-compliant or want to impose sharia law, the United States is the wrong place for you. Steve Bannon The idea we would create some kind of religious test for entry into the country is absolutely wrong. Cory Gardner I've never really been a character on TV. I think, if possible, you want to portray yourself. If you're in a situation where you're supposed to react, you need to react. Daniel Bryan I learned my English from Keith Spurgeon. He had some small children, and I was young, too, and so we spoke the language together, and it was fantastic. Johan Cruyff The pooling operation used in convolutional neural networks is a big mistake, and the fact that it works so well is a disaster. Geoffrey Hinton If you heard 40 times in a day that Newt Gingrich takes the wings off of butterflies, eventually you'd believe it. Kellyanne Conway Once you start worrying, it's hard to stop. Alexandra Petri I always try to do something different and creative with my dr...

On the radio there's only a certain amount of artists: Jay-Z, Beyonce, Kanye,

T-Pain, Lil Wayne, T.I., Mary J Blige, Alicia Keys. Other artists are achieving things that are really special, they have a hard time getting people's attention. Music has been just a little bit lacklustre. Q-Tip Even as a kid, I wore J.C. Penney plain-pocket jeans because they were plain pockets. I didn't want anybody's name on my backside. I personally don't like to wear clothing that is named for somebody or has someone's likeness all over it. Matthew McConaughey I have an ambition to write a great book, but that's really a competition with myself. I've noticed that a lot of young writers, people in all media, want to be famous but they don't really want to do anything. I can't think of anything less worth striving for than fame. Zadie Smith I was the lead in 'Interview With The Vampire', until Tom Cruise decided he was interested. I was in 'The Wings Of The Dove' with Uma Thurman, until that got cancelled. I was in 'S...
