A baby's existence for the first three months is a one-way street. One person is

doing all the work and the other is crying, sleeping and pooping. So the first moment when you're actually able to do something and they acknowledge your presence, that's a big deal. A very big deal.
Colin Hanks

Doctors are the same as lawyers; the only difference is that lawyers merely rob you, whereas doctors rob you and kill you too.
Anton Chekhov

There are confirmed stories of people who can break instruments and cause them to fail by walking in a room. I'm the opposite - I can walk into a room and something will work better than it is supposed to.
Robert Moog

Videogame players essentially choose whether to win the game or to die heroically. There's a certain glory in both.
John Green

Grissom is a character who doesn't really want people poking around in his life. He likes to poke around in his work.
William Petersen

As I've gotten older, I realize how important my fans are and that I'm here because of them and not the other way around.
Rick Springfield

I ran into Ellen at a photo shoot. She took my breath away. That had never happened to me in my life.
Portia de Rossi

It's always nerve-wracking when you're hosting 'Saturday Night Live.' You either sink or swim.
Christina Aguilera

When actors are being defensive and defending their position, that is when you get less than good acting.
John Boorman

I played the young Reese Witherspoon in 'Sweet Home Alabama' when I was 7, and the boy who played the young Josh Lucas was 10.
Dakota Fanning

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 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 ...

We need to establish boundaries between our personal and professional lives. When we don't, our

work, our health, and our personal lives suffer. Travis Bradberry Originality is dangerous. Salman Rushdie I think the War on Terror is really absurd, especially coming from a country that is founded on terrorism. Alice Walker If I hear about a tsunami that hit Asia, hundreds of people have lost their lives, and you see it and you hear about it, but you still brush your teeth, still have to go on with your day. But let you get information about one person who you're close to or you're intimate with, it has an almost paralyzing effect. Ryan Coogler Once you have a computer that can do a few things - strictly speaking, one that has a certain 'sufficient set' of basic procedures - it can do basically anything any other computer can do. This, loosely, is the basis of the great principle of 'Universality'. Richard P. Feynman My plays are always pushing towards cinema anyway. They're down and dirty, real and more fun. Martin McDonagh I consider m...

When Paul Allen and I started Microsoft over 30 years ago, we had

big dreams about software. We had dreams about the impact it could have. Bill Gates My death is incidental, and I worry very much about my loved ones and, you know, would like to make it as easy as possible for them. Or wish I could will away whatever, you know, the sadness they will feel when I die. But for me, nothing. The world goes on. Barbara Ehrenreich I was watching TV one day, and there was this open casting call for extras, and my brother says, 'You wanna try out for this movie?' and I said, 'No, I'm okay.' And then he said, 'Do you wanna be on a DVD?' And I said, 'I wanna be on a DVD!,' so I tried out. CJ Adams Since I am from Spain, once the morning has gone, I like to take a nap while falling asleep to black and white movies. It feels less lonely. There is a comfort in hearing their voices, like when you're a child and your mother tells you a story before bedtime. Jordi Molla I can take all the negative energy and turn it ...

Carbon's eastern neighbor on the table, nitrogen, dresses up diamonds in pinks, yellows, oranges, and

brownish tints known romantically as 'champagne.' Sam Kean I think when you do things outside of what you're interested in, you meet people and get ideas to bring in to whatever it is you love doing the most. Gia Coppola When I got out of college in 1991, I had four jobs in four different parts of L.A. There was I Love Juicy, a smoothie bar in Venice, and the Videotheque on Sunset Boulevard, across from the old Tower Records. I was also an intern at the 'Los Angeles Reader' in the Miracle Mile and at 'High Performance' magazine downtown. Jenji Kohan When I was 13, I told my dad I wanted to move to Florida to attend the IMG Academy. I wanted to be a golfer, and that's hard to do in New England where I could only practice half the year. Peter Uihlein Our world is afflicted by poverty. Don't spend all this money on clothes! Caitlin Moran If you can teach a child, then her family and her future is taken care of. Sunil Mittal You have to...

We have to prove that digital manufacturing is inclusive. Then, the true narrative will emerge:

Welcome, robots. You'll help us. But humans are still our future. Joe Kaeser I grew up loving cartoons, comics, magic, and writing. Paul Dini Before I went off to Rutgers, I worked in a comic book shop in my hometown. At night, I would work on some comic stories, and after a while, I developed an idea for a weird little superhero spoof comic called 'Cement Shooz.' Christopher McCulloch I think I've had 16 books that purport to be a biography of me. I've never cooperated with someone. Warren Beatty Sometimes, the action genre does get stale. Although I want to go back and see my favorite characters in their tentpoles - and will religiously do that - it's really fun to see breakout ideas and concepts. Let's make some new stories. David Leitch Many tax experts say a key element to any fundamental overhaul is getting rid of certain deductions for businesses - the 'special-interest giveaways that are masked as tax breaks,' as House Republicans describe ...

Can we achieve 140 mpg fuel economy? You bet. Just get the bureaucrats out of the way, and

Yankee ingenuity will do the rest. Robert Zubrin Nature is the fountain's head, the source from whence all originality must spring. John Constable I'm constantly struggling in interviews to engage and finish sentences, because I am being asked personal questions from somebody I don't know. Katherine Waterston I know actors with promising careers who get blown out of the business, never to return. Everett McGill I don't think that Argentinian cinema is well-known outside Argentina the way it should be. Guillermo del Toro Tobe Hooper - he did my favorite horror movie, 'Texas Chain Saw Massacre.' It's still one of my favorite horror films. Fred Willard I have great Indian genes! You know, I'm lazy. I want to take advantage of the fact that I have a great metabolism. When I start getting fat, I'll work on it! I like food, and I don't like the gym, and as long as I look like this without doing anything, why bother? Priyanka Chopra The idea of a comp...

Environmental problems cannot be resolved here the way they are resolved in other countries. I

heard that 80 per cent of the environmental problems in the U.S. are solved in court. That can't happen here. Ma Jun I don't care where you went to school. There - have I made your day? No? All right, I'll go further: I also don't care what your dad did for a living or how your mum voted. Nor do I mind whether you ate your tea in front of the telly, dinner at the kitchen table, or supper in the dining room. Robert Webb The word 'art' interests me very much. If it comes from Sanskrit, as I've heard, it signifies 'making.' Now everyone makes something, and those who make things on a canvas with a frame, they're called artists. Formerly, they were called craftsmen, a term I prefer. We're all craftsmen, in civilian or military or artistic life. Marcel Duchamp I was an anxious kid. I worried about getting homework finished, even back when homework didn't count for anything. Andrea Seigel You really do have the license during fashio...

My parents moved to American Samoa when I was three or four years old. My

dad was principal of a high school there. It was idyllic for a kid. I had a whole island for a backyard. I lived there until I was eight years old and we moved to Santa Barbara. Eric Stoltz If you accept the belief that baptism incorporates us in the mystical body of Christ, into the divine DNA, then you might say that the Holy Spirit is present in each of us, and thus we have the capacity for the fullness of redemption, of transformation. Thomas Keating My first name, Benjamin, dates back a thousand years earlier to Benjamin - Binyamin - the son of Jacob, who was also known as Israel. Jacob and his 12 sons roamed these same hills of Judea and Sumeria 4,000 years ago, and there's been a continuous Jewish presence in the land ever since. Benjamin Netanyahu I was cast in 'Thor' and I'm cast as a Nordic god. If you know anything about the Nords, they don't look like me but there you go. I think that's a sign of the times for the future. I think we will see...

Also by my earliest days, I was fascinated by a utopian vision of what the

world could be like. I've thought that science could be the basis for a better world, and that's what I've been trying to do all these years. George E. Brown, Jr. Marriage is an adventure, like going to war. Gilbert K. Chesterton Simplicity and repose are the qualities that measure the true value of any work of art. Frank Lloyd Wright I believe that present day civilized man suffers from insufficient discharge of his aggressive drive. Konrad Lorenz Democracy is constructed like an edifice, freedom by freedom, right by right, until it reaches its snapping point. Abdoulaye Wade Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid. Orson Welles It's bad when you fail morally. It's worse when you don't repent. Luis Palau
