I don't live that much with the character. I find it hard

enough having to spend so many hours with the character during the day.
Catherine Deneuve

When you're younger, you feel like work is work and relationships are supposed to be easy. As you get older, you realize you have to work at relationships to make them sustainable.
Vince Vaughn

I'm at this time in life when I have to take the opportunities I have left.
Jeff Bridges

I like to try to do a little work before I do anything in the morning, even if it's a paragraph.
Sloane Crosley

I don't think of myself as a movie star and I can pretty easily convince other people that I'm not a movie star.
Frances McDormand

The self-sacrificing, servant aspect of the Christian life has many parallels to parenthood.
Philip Yancey

Yes, it was love at first sight. I feel that after all these years, I have finally found my soul mate.
Barbara Hershey

French Yemeni relations are strong and good, they are relations depending on friendship and cooperation; my relationship with the president Chiraq are old and real.
Ali Abdullah Saleh

Only science and the spirit of seeking truth from facts can save China. I firmly believe in this.
Wen Jiabao

If I were to call it black music, that would be untrue. I don't know what that is, unless it would be some African drums or something.
Dexter Gordon

When I was 17, I worked in a mentoring program in Harlem designed to improve

the community. That's when I first gained an appreciation of the Harlem Renaissance, a time when African-Americans rose to prominence in American culture. For the first time, they were taken seriously as artists, musicians, writers, athletes, and as political thinkers. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar I only make movies that are interesting to me. Brian Grazer I wouldn't say I was organised at all. I just have to prioritise. Is it more important for them to be organised, or to have their dinner, do you know what I mean? Jo Brand The courage in journalism is sticking up for the unpopular, not the popular. Geraldo Rivera A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy dare live. Bertrand Russell I think Mick Jagger would be astounded and amazed if he realized that to many people he is not a sex symbol, but a mother image. David Bowie I enjoy my job as long as I can create a character, otherwise it's boring. Jav...

I call it an old-fashioned seafood house for the new millennium. We are trying to

update what we know as old fish houses and places like that, which are great, but I want to give it a new, fresh look with updated versions of the classics we all love. Todd English Poor men's reasons are not heard. Thomas Fuller Had Calhoun been advised by me, he would have been the most popular man in the United States. Duff Green The secret to humor is surprise. Aristotle I'm always looking for a low-budget script with an interesting character to play. Walter Koenig I dream of you to wake; would that I might Dream of you and not wake but slumber on. Christina Rossetti Honor among thieves is the ancestor of all honor. John McCarthy

The whole community of people with disabilities was alive, politically alive. I give Justin Dart

credit for that. He traveled to every state in the country. He really made people with disabilities understand that they had some political power. Major Owens Given the amount of unjust suffering and unhappiness in the world, I am deeply grateful for, sometimes even perplexed by, how much misery I have been spared. Dennis Prager The other part of outsourcing is this: it simply says where the work can be done outside better than it can be done inside, we should do it. Alphonso Jackson Money differs from an automobile or mistress in being equally important to those who have it and those who do not. John Kenneth Galbraith Everything in this world has a hidden meaning. Nikos Kazantzakis I never really did any disco dancing. Barry Gibb Our music's kind of about taking something ugly and making it beautiful. Jerry Cantrell

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 ...

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...

All I've been a part of has been thanks to the Disney company: the job,

experience, travel, opportunities have come thanks to Disney. Working for Disney was not part of my original plan, but it was part of God's, and it shows that God is still moving. Jodi Benson It almost goes without saying that when you are a startup, one of the first things you do is you start setting aside money to defend yourself from patent lawsuits, because any successful company, even moderately successful, is going to get hit by a patent lawsuit from someone who's just trying to look for a payout. Charles Duhigg People always ask me about 'Girls' with this kind of hesitation. What do I think of it? I love it. It's awesome. I get a lot of Where do you come down on this? I come down on the side of 'Yay, Lena Dunham. Congratulations. I'm jealous.' She's doing something so fantastic. Maybe it's not for everybody, but it certainly is for me. Callie Khouri I've never really understood the term 'Post-Impressionism' as more tha...

Given Pounds and five years, and an ordinary man can in the ordinary course, without

any undue haste or putting any pressure upon his taste, surround himself with books, all in his own language, and thence forward have at least one place in the world. Augustine Birrell Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud, and that the major cancer research organizations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them. Linus Pauling A Bush Administration will, I believe, enjoy a better relationship with the new Congress, although President-elect Bush will be faced with real challenges in getting along with the Congress. Richard V. Allen I once thought that I was the only man that persevered to be the friend of the white man, but since they have come and cleaned out our lodges, horses, and everything else, it is hard for to believe the white man any more. Black Kettle When you finish a poem, it clicks shut like the top of a jewel box, but prose is endless. I haven't experienced an awful lot of clicking shut! Kenneth Koch I thin...

As a Midlander and a big walker, I'd always loved ridge and furrow

fields, the plough-marked land as it was when it was enclosed. It is the landscape giving you a story of lives that ended with the arrival of sheep. Jim Crace I think it's really rare to see women on television who are brilliant, selfish, vain, fallible - and I feel like I have all those capacities in myself, so it's good to see people in the media representing all of those things. Kerry Bishe I never went after fame. It fell into my lap. Caitlyn Jenner My mom and dad were actors when they were younger and had a horrible experience of it. My dad became a literary agent and my mom a casting director. Daniel Radcliffe I have this idea of trying to catalog all the genes on the planet. Craig Venter The wind from the Kingdom of Heaven has blown all over the world, and shall blow for centuries yet. George William Russell I always said if I played a drag queen, I'd want to create a template with the realness they talk about in 'Paris Is Burning.' Billy P...

I have never worked with anyone who I hold in higher esteem than Chris Menges.

He's an absolute, bona fide, authentic artist. William Hurt For the liespotter who knows how to listen well, the random words, sounds, and phrases in a person's speech are never as random as they seem. They offer a clear sightline into the liar's psyche. Pamela Meyer That's what is incredible about human beings, is the choice to keep going. Jack Antonoff There's a powerful tendency to overcomplicate the whole notion of leadership. Mark V. Hurd Donald Trump intimidated the press and bullied the press. David Brock The manager and the fitness staff condition every training session. They plan it out week by week on what players need. If players need a rest, they will do that; if players need to work hard, they will do that as well. Harry Kane We don't make the rules. We just play by them. Robby Gordon On Putin's order, corrupt apparatchiks and crony oligarchs rob Russians of their nation's wealth and resources. John McCain The year was 1882. The palace was ...

There are a few reboots I'd love to see that I'd love to have nothing

to do with! I'd love to watch just as a viewer. 'Quantum Lea' - someone should bring that back. I'd love to see another 'Star Trek' show on the air. I loved 'Buck Rogers'; someone should do that. But I don't want the responsibility of doing any of those things. Greg Berlanti If you make a wrong move with explosives, it could be deadly. If you're there when they blow up the beach, you get blown up, too. So you need to get your job done correctly... then pull the fuse with enough lag time for you to clear the area completely and get picked up by the small boats. Jack Ramsay My feeling is that the English are naturally anti-Semitic. Miriam Margolyes My idea is bring in good people and then get out of their way. Rocky Wirtz Render to God what you owe him; recognize the obligations you are under to him. Louis XIV You want to be doing your best work whatever field of the arts you're in because your life's going to be over all too...
