As actors, we're all encouraged to feel that each job is the last job. They

plant some little electrode in your head at an early stage and you think, 'Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.'
Daniel Day-Lewis

It's disgusting that a Broadway show can't try out anymore, that no matter where they are in the world, there is this massive dialogue going on between people damning or praising it.
Victor Garber

You know, it's a different world now, but to skip ahead and really answer your question, only in the last five years did I find what I call holy maturity, finding the balance, finding the right person in my life so that I could live a normal life.
Burt Ward

Providing new means of entertainment is the important thing.
Shigeru Miyamoto

Opera is really fun.
Renee Fleming

The nature of having ideas and creativity is incredibly inspiring.
Jonathan Ive

The true feeling of sex is that of a deep intimacy, but above all of a deep complicity.
James Dickey

I'm just enjoying my life at the moment.
Eric Cantona

Maybe we should teach schoolchildren probability theory and investment risk management.
Andrew Lo

Dogs give us something just as we give something to them.
Robert Crais

Gemeoss

I do everything I can to have a diverse career because I just want to

have options. I know that I can do Hamlet or I can do Stanley Kowalski, you know. Sam Rockwell I've been pretty good about keeping my nose to the grindstone. I feel like I won a lot of matches from hard work and persistence, even maybe when I had better options as far as shot-making. Andy Roddick When I want to render these fine nuances, I do not find them in the subject, but in the nature of women in real life who seek unhealthy emotions and are too stupid even to understand the horror in the most appalling situations. Gustave Moreau There are those who leave without our needing to detain them; we have said all there is to say. Richard Eyre I worried that people wouldn't like me. Now I try not to worry and focus on being happy. Lea Michele Americans are pragmatic, relatively uncomplicated, hearty and given to broad humor. Herb Caen I honestly think that's one of the greatest motivators of art - the fear of not making great art. Jason McCoy The two citi...

I am not really into paintings, to be honest, but for me, the art I love is when I see

singers putting their heart into their song, actors giving the performance of their lives, and books and movies that make me feel something I never thought I could; there's art in everything as long as it's made with soul. Sara Sampaio I've always had a reluctance to meet my heroes. Steven Van Zandt Those who support the death penalty are accepting a practice that is both ineffective and fundamentally flawed. Clint Smith I don't want to be in the spotlight, ever! I don't know why I got in this profession! Ana de Armas I've never been in trouble with the law. Glenn Gronkowski Writers can express ideas and emotions that are important to them but have no other means of expression. Some of these ideas may be fantastic, and some of the emotions may be given clearer voice in fantastic fiction. Brian Stableford The Internet removed geography as a significant obstacle that formerly prevented out-of-the-way places from being active players in the New Economy. Greg Gian...

I get very tired of books that feel emotionally empty. I would much rather have

writers err on the side of being overly sentimental than not. I think that the perfect balance is a story that moves you without being maudlin, but I don't enjoy books that are empty of emotion and there's no connection to the characters. Alexi Zentner If you have a vision for something, things are navigable. If it gets fuzzy, then obstacles become much more formidable. Bennett Miller I would say I've done everything I wanted to. Jean-Paul Belmondo If there's another iPhone that's better, that's sad for my old iPhone. But it means we get to use a better one. Roger Ver I don't want you to feel defeated, like, 'Oh boy, why do you do this to me?' We have too many of those songs. Kelela Red carpet is a little bit scary. It's not about expression. It's about taking a pretty picture in a really weird, awkward way, with so many people watching. It's a glamorous part of the job, but it requires its own kind of courage. Tracee Ellis Ross I was hi...

I felt somehow for many years that George Washington and Alexander

Hamilton just left me out by mistake. But through the process of amendment, interpretation, and court decision, I have finally been included in 'We, the people.' Barbara Jordan It is time to effect a revolution in female manners - time to restore to them their lost dignity. It is time to separate unchangeable morals from local manners. Mary Wollstonecraft Understanding how DNA transmits all it knows about cancer, physics, dreaming and love will keep man searching for some time. David R. Brower I believe in the greatness of our democracy. Chen Shui-bian It is foolish to pretend that one is fully recovered from a disappointed passion. Such wounds always leave a scar. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow I had that thing of wanting to prove I was a tough kid. Scott Caan I think quite often a fate worse than death is life, for lots of people. Tom Baker

I saw my dad doing it and thought to myself, 'I can do that.' I would be backstage

watching him and running around the country with him singing to children. He would sing songs that taught children really good morals: like, 'Teaching Peace' was a song he used to sing to kids a lot. Andy Grammer I wanted to be an attorney all the way up until I was 17. Mark Foster I am not bothered about if my role in a film is small or big. Because if the character I am offered is sensible, I would do it even if it is small. Nithya Menen He's known as Sting. I have my own personal name for him, but that shall remain a personal name. Trudie Styler I wanted to play for United; I wanted to play at Old Trafford. It was always my goal. Bastian Schweinsteiger I grew up in a very middle-class life. I'm grateful for it - it has given me a lot of stability. Carrie-Anne Moss I am a human being: sometimes I am happy, but sometimes I am not feeling that great or not in a mood. Shaheer Sheikh The first time I heard the Mars Volta, I had a feeling I was experiencing something that...

There's a book out called 'How Money Walks' written by Travis Brown.

He's followed annual adjusted gross income from 1992 to 2011. Approximately $100 billion has moved to Florida from all over the country. Number two is Arizona. Where does it come from? It's come from New York; it's come from New Jersey; and it's come from California. Rick Scott China itself has said repeatedly that they will and have been conforming to international law. Benigno Aquino III I did not intend for there to be an incisive historical lesson in 'North and South.' Basically, it's just a good, juicy story. David L. Wolper When I went to the all-Ireland final - Kerry against Dublin - I couldn't get away for an hour and a half with people coming up and wishing me all the best. Not one of them said, 'Martin, when did you leave the IRA?' But every one of them knew I was in the IRA at one stage. Martin McGuinness The answer to neofascism is stopping neoliberalism. Putting another Clinton in the White House will fan the flames of t...

You can't afford for there to be gaps in your pool of knowledge when it comes to a character;

otherwise, what ends up onscreen is generalized and unspecific. David Oyelowo As conservatives, we support free market principles and believe the private sector provides solutions that the government cannot. Mike Pompeo It is very important that people see there is a bright future, and we can re-engage that entrepreneurial spirit of the trading nation for which the U.K. has always been known - that dynamic, creative spirit. Theresa May When I began making electronic music, the only thing I was thinking about was creating music that I really liked. I didn't think about what effect it would have; I was busy doing it. Jean-Michel Jarre I worked with Herb Ritts on the Marky Mark shoot, and then Steven Meisel, and then they'd start sending limos for me, and I was like, 'That is so embarrassing. I'm not getting in a stretch limo by myself to go to a shoot.' That whole New York thing of, 'You are fabulous! Turn up to a Meisel shoot in a limo and you're fabulous!...

History has shown that a government's redistribution of shrinking wealth, in preference to a private

sector's creation of new sources of it, can prove more destructive than even the most deadly enemy. Victor Davis Hanson As millions of Americans look for work, the Obama campaign and Democrats are attempting to distract attention away from this administration's dismal record. The attack they have launched against Mitt Romney shows just how worried they are about facing him in the general election. Jeb Bradley Ramen is a dish that's very high in calories and sodium. One way to make it slightly healthier is to leave the soup and just eat the noodles. Masaharu Morimoto I'm a huge, huge believer in love. Huge! Chris O'Dowd I always want my books to reach a positive point in the end. Cecelia Ahern I'm not rich, though everybody thinks I am. Emma Forrest When I decide to do something, I stick with it, total commitment. Joaquin Phoenix I mean, the Taliban, my view is that they have been weakened. Leon Panetta I've read the 'Mortal Instru...

The music comes first. When Geoff has made something the inspiration comes automatically. His music

is very expressive. But still is is a very difficult process: I have to add something to his music, not push it away. It has to be equal, and I find that very difficult. Beth Gibbons I wanted a theory that would allow one to live outside the office with the same philosophy one uses inside it. Kenneth L. Pike War is never economically beneficial except for those in position to profit from war expenditures. Ron Paul My education was the liberty I had to read indiscriminately and all the time, with my eyes hanging out. Dylan Thomas For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake. Alfred Hitchcock A cat is never vulgar. Carl Van Vechten First thoughts are not always the best. Vittorio Alfieri

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. L...
