I had met a young lady who wanted to be in the theater. It was

Judy Holliday. She had somehow fallen down the steps of the Village Vanguard, which still exists today.
Adolph Green

In an extreme credit crunch, leveraged purchases of gold cause forced sales, because any price correction triggers margin calls. As a result, gold can be very volatile - upward and downward - at the peak of a crisis.
Nouriel Roubini

Sufjan Stevens

I just used to have a really normal life, working in an office.
Roz Savage

In rock stardom there's an absolute economic upside to self-destruction.

Let me tell you the story about Massachusetts under Governor Romney. It did fall to

47th out of 50 in jobs creation. Wages went down when they were going up in the rest of the country. He left his successor with debt and a deficit, and manufacturing jobs left that state at twice the rate as the rest of the country. Stephanie Cutter I want people to just to see, all you got to do is have a little faith. Fantasia Barrino Each time that I have two or three days off, I'm off somewhere in California. Lizzie Brochere I can't even remember not wanting to go to film school. Danny McBride At the age when Bengali youth almost inevitably writes poetry, I was listening to European classical music. Satyajit Ray The tropical rain forests are a telling example. Once cut down, they rarely recover. Rainfall drops, deserts spread, the climate warms. James Lovelock I like to fish. Fishing is always a way of relaxing. Tom Felton I worked in restaurants the first half of my life. Bradley Cooper I never pretended to be a great actor. Joel McCrea Light is ...

My dad made a film called 'Willow' when he was a young filmmaker, which screened

at the Cannes film festival, and people were booing afterwards. Bryce Dallas Howard Despite the strength of the feminist movement in the 1970s and beyond, a fable has persisted that educated women are rejected as marriage partners. Karen DeCrow When the Transportation Security Administration adopted body scanners at airports, activists wrote the Fourth Amendment on their underwear in metallic paint readable by the new devices.

Najib Razak Negative emotions like hatred destroy our peace of mind. Matthieu Ricard I majored in criminal justice. I like 'CSI,' all that, '24.' I watch those shows on A&E, if I watch TV. I don't really watch TV shows. ...

It's really rare for people to have a successful start-up in this industry without a

breakthrough product. I'll take it a step further. It has to be a radical product. It has to be something where, when people look at it, at first they say, 'I don't get it, I don't understand it. I think it's too weird, I think it's too unusual.' Marc Andreessen I try to make my bed every day for mental health. Coming home to an unmade bed or a room with clothes all over will depress me. David Alan Grier Cookbooks have all become baroque and very predictable. I'm looking for something different. A lot of chefs' cookbooks are food as it's done in the restaurants, but they are dumbed down, and I hate it when they dumb them down. Mario Batali I'm not even sure that any of us are ever ready for anything. We can be ripe, or over-ready, but what is that moment when we're actually ready? Andrea Riseborough English muffins with avocado is one of my favorite breakfasts. Mia Hamm Online media is increasingly influential in fashion. ...

You travel across the country, you visit departments, you give talks, you talk about the

work at your laboratory - what's going on, what the opportunities are there - you talk about your own research. Frank Press In the adversity of our best friends we often find something that does not displease us. Brigham Young Sound science must be our guide in choosing which problems to tackle and how to approach them. Frank Luntz Monkeys are superior to men in this: when a monkey looks into a mirror, he sees a monkey. Malcolm de Chazal I really wanted the MTV Award the most, It was a golden popcorn container and it looks really neat. Kirsten Dunst The only actress they didn't test was Garbo. Must have been her accent. Judy Holliday If civilians are going to be killed, I would rather have them be their civilians than our civilians. Stuart Symington

I wish the government and the Minister of Justice would address these legal and constitutional

arguments, but they refuse to. They want Canadians to go blindly into their brave new world, but it is not wise for a society to move blindly in any direction. Stockwell Day If I had not some strength of will I would make a first class drunkard. Ernest Shackleton Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises. Pedro Calderon de la Barca I don't want the kind of theater that I love and grew up seeing to die out. Jerry Herman One must think like a hero to behave like a merely decent human being. May Sarton Beyond this day, no thinking person could fail to see what would happen. Oskar Schindler No matter how many helicopters there are, when it comes down to it there is the camera and you. Jacqueline McKenzie

I probably haven't even seen ten of the films I've done. I don't get a

joy out of it, and I don't go to the movies. Robert Sean Leonard I can't switch time zones any more. London is one of my favourite places, but I'm always so zonked that I can't appreciate it. It's like a six-inch sheet of glass between me and Charing Cross Road. Douglas Coupland My job is to let everybody know what I stand for and to let my light shine. I want to show others the way I live so that hopefully they follow. I can also tell about my experiences as a Christian so that I may help bring others to Christ. LaDainian Tomlinson Most interviewers are looking for a headline. They're not skilled. They're looking for shock value. Ice T If we admit it or not, skiing is a little bit of show biz. Willy Bogner, Jr. The more time you invest in a marriage, the more valuable it becomes. Amy Grant Involvement in Afghanistan, I thought, was totally warranted. We were attacked, we attacked back, but after six months of being in Afghanistan, I though...

Some people have much more pull than other people. But when I say

that the public has ultimate responsibility, I'm not saying it in a moral sense. I'm just saying it in the sense of what is it that's really going to bring change. Jared Diamond Social improvement is attained more readily by a concern with the quality of results than with the purity of motives. Eric Hoffer Composers should write tunes that chauffeurs and errand boys can whistle. Thomas Beecham It is common for those that are farthest from God, to boast themselves most of their being near to the Church. Matthew Henry As far as a cocktail, I do like good wines, basically with meals, and good champagnes. Bobby Sherman Every man is rich or poor according to the proportion between his desires and his enjoyments. Samuel Johnson We are tomorrow's past. Mary Webb

All my day is spent dealing with other people. When I come home I like

it to be empty. The presence of others in my house kind of annoys me. I love coming home and shutting the doors. I feel brain dead. I'm relatively available, but not to live with. Graham Norton The plain fact is that there are no conclusions. James Jeans Anything that changes your values changes your behavior. George A. Sheehan I will always vote on the side of freedom and our right to keep and bear arms. Mel Martinez I always felt people should live with animals. Dick Dale Possession without obligation to the object possessed approaches felicity.

Being alone & actually sitting with our own thoughts can lead to such growth and

realizations that are rare in our everyday busy lives. Kourtney Kardashian Getting on stage, for me, was a huge thing when I first started. And back in high school, everyone was in rock bands and I was a singer/songwriter. It just seems kind of lame. Tyler Hilton When you're about to get married, and then you're not, it's all a big shock. You think, 'Well, okay, so I'm never going to lead a totally conventional life now.' Rosamund Pike I'm lucky. I've worked with extremely talented women who won't sacrifice comedy to make themselves look better. Heather Burns I think the amazing thing about 'Twin Peaks' was that it completely changed television from that point forward. Madchen Amick In a song, you have to have a lyric that gives us new ideas on how to live, a lyric that makes us feel, and a melody that gives you some kind of body response and emotional response. Jennifer Warnes I've gone seventy-nine hours without sleep,...

My house was very strange. I didn't do things other kids did because my parents

were very strict - I stayed at home, quiet in my room. Alessia Cara I always liked it when people go back in time to discover things about themselves, like with 'A Christmas Carol' and you're getting a tour of your life by the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future. John Cusack I was so driven in high school but did sometimes wish I could go out with friends, go to parties, and be a normal teenager. But having mum as my coach at home meant I couldn't sneak around. Jessica Fox The basic idea for what became 'Epic Mickey' began at the Disney Think Tank. Warren Spector There is a Mount Sinai for every child of God if he only knows where to find it. Karl G. Maeser I wouldn't call myself a 'literary critic,' just a book reviewer. Neel Mukherjee Denial is a very powerful thing. Jane Velez-Mitchell Most people don't watch a movie four or five times; they watch it once. James Gray I can't inhabit my characters until I kn...
