I'm just saying that there are high quality materials, and when we

change them then there should be a way of changing them so that you can celebrate that change - rather than just 'mix it up'.

six hundred mile trip from Indianapolis down to Atlanta, and at fifteen dollars, by the time you feed yourself and buy gasoline, you're minus about ten bucks.

Aileen Wuornos

Let us develop the resources of our land, call forth its powers, build

William Shakespeare A man's own manner and character is what most becomes him. Marcus Tullius Cicero

Brooks Robinson We know we are entering a period of transformation in aged care. Julie Bishop There is no such thing as failure. There are only results. Tony Robbins

Pete Seeger There are only two things a child will share willingly; communicable diseases and its mother's age. Benjamin Spock Happiness can exist only in acceptance. George Orwell

The debate about the war seems pretty robust and free. Many publications, from

the New Yorker to the Nation, feel perfectly comfortable printing anti-American articles and that's fine. That's what the First Amendment is all about. Rich Lowry My only interest in women's clothes is what's underneath them. Lynda Carter We are as liable to be corrupted by books, as by companions. Henry Fielding Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they do not like him. Marlene Dietrich Hate is always a clash between our spirit and someone else's body. Cesare Pavese Many a man who thinks to found a home discovers that he has merely opened a tavern for his friends. Norman Douglas I saw a sign it said left lane closed so I went someplace else. Jay London

I didn't know that people compared Bill Hicks and I but certainly I'm

flattered if they do. I knew Bill a bit. We had dinner a couple of times and played guitar together once. I really tried to keep my distance from him professionally.

He was so good with the kids on the set. He just knew

exactly how to handle them. The baby would cry and Vin would hold him and do all these weird sounds and the baby would stop crying. It was really cute. Brittany Snow I have witnessed the tremendous energy of the masses. On this foundation it is possible to accomplish any task whatsoever. Mao Zedong I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them.

Chris Squire I have always believed governments must adapt to the needs of the people, not the other way around. Kim Campbell On the Internet, inside information is currency, and there will always be counterfeiters among us. J. Michael Straczynski

We used to talk about wanting to get some money, but that's when

hip-hop was based on your dreams and your fantasy. The whole thing now is the dreams and fantasies were achieved, and you don't want to make it the focal point. You can't keep beating that dead horse. Sean Combs With so much at stake maybe I'll just leave now. Robert B. Parker Capitalism is using its money; we socialists throw it away. Fidel Castro In youth we learn; in age we understand. Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach Old age is, so to speak, the sanctuary of ills: they all take refuge in it.

A lot of people that embark on spiritual endeavors tended to, especially in

the '60s and '70s, they tended to give up what they had before and cut themselves off from their lives, previous life as it were. But, I don't think that one should do that.

Liz Smith I want to hold a series of meetings all over the country and get the facts before the American people. Mary Harris Jones

The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding

or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what it was, nor forward to what it might be, but living in the present and accepting it as it is now. Anne Morrow Lindbergh I never joined the army for patriotic reasons.

Rather than have it the principal thing in my son's mind, I would

gladly have him think that the sun went round the earth, and that the stars were so many spangles set in the bright blue firmament. Thomas Arnold Happy is he who can trace effects to their causes. Virgil One of the reasons I think Dark Shadows still runs is that it's dependent on nothing else other than a story. David Selby I don't have any bad habbits. They might be bad habits for other people, but they're all right for me. Eubie Blake One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody. Mother Teresa I believe that a long step toward public morality will have been taken when sins are called by their right names.

What would a man not pay for living? Mahatma Gandhi This I conceive to be the chemical function of humor: to change the character of our thought. Lin Yutang

A few of these interviews have gone slightly awry, because every now and

again there has been the odd conflict of interest between interviews because of the Iron Maiden record, and I am a bit long-winded.

born after Valentine's Day, so they wanted to change it to February 14. A Latin lover should be born on Valentine's Day. I said no. Cesar Romero You don't concentrate on risks.

Writing is a question of finding a certain rhythm. I compare it to the rhythms

It just killed my enjoyment of the game. Barry Sanders There are two kinds of editors, those who correct your copy and those who say it's wonderful. Theodore White

German is more familiar now since I live part of the year in Rome and

part in the German part of Switzerland. But it's not difficult to sing in German; it's difficult to feel in German. This takes time. It's a culture.

Jenny Craig It is a mystery why any Americans would support the concept of the EU. Phyllis Schlafly Realists do not fear the results of their study. Fyodor Dostoevsky

When a child can be brought to tears, and not from fear of punishment, but

from repentance he needs no chastisement. When the tears begin to flow from the grief of their conduct you can be sure there is an angel nestling in their heart.

Sometimes people here can get so focused on, Oh, I've got to get a flight,

that it becomes the end all of everything. Then they go off and fly a couple of flights and they think, Okay, is that all there is in life? No, it's not. There's a whole big life out there. Shannon Lucid I'd like to see the government get out of war altogether and leave the whole field to private individuals. Joseph Heller The patient decides when it's best to go. Jack Kevorkian A quote is just a tattoo on the tongue. William F. DeVault Every step of life shows much caution is required. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Fury itself supplies arms. Virgil Canada is the only country founded on the relentless pursuit of the rodent. Preston Manning

I am in the process of starting a nonprofit organization that gives rescued animals a

home in a simulated wild environment and, for those who have been tested on, who are disabled, aggressive, etc., their own space to live out their days.

Li Peng First I lost my voice, then I lost my figure and then I lost Onassis. Maria Callas To be a hero or a heroine, one must give an order to oneself. Simone Weil

It is not a mystical thing, however, it is obvious and practical and I think

that what the performer does is to try to get to that point with every choice you make from the phrasing in a tune to the choice of tunes. Leo Kottke When the severity of the law is to be softened, let pity, not bribes, be the motive. Miguel de Cervantes I didn't want to be an actor. Jim Caviezel The more rational an institution is the less it suffers by making concessions to others. George Santayana I don't have any beauty shop memories. I remember the barber shop. Jenifer Lewis It is a hard matter, my fellow citizens, to argue with the belly, since it has no ears. Marcus Porcius Cato Persons famous in the arts partake of the immortality of princes, and are upon a footing with them. Francis I

The whole thing was done for internal political reasons to galvanize

and unify the country against the Americans, and if they hadn't had that immediate opportunity they would have found another one. Lloyd Cutler We are already seeing older people wanting greater choice in how, when and where they receive care. Julie Bishop I am patient with stupidity but not with those who are proud of it. Edith Sitwell Reading a poem aloud to an audience is gestural as much as precise. Douglas Dunn Listen to advice, but follow your heart. Conway Twitty The world knows nothing of its greatest men. Henry Taylor It's the way to educate your eyes. Stare. Pry, listen eavesdrop. Die knowing something. You are not here long. Walker Evans

The only line that's wrong in Shakespeare is 'holding a mirror up to nature.' You

hold a magnifying glass up to nature. As an actor you just enlarge it enough so that your audience can identify with the situation. If it were a mirror, we would have no art. Montgomery Clift The only reason anyone ever called me a hero is because I get this paper, here. Kyle Chandler A majority is always better than the best repartee. Benjamin Disraeli I was totally unknown in the television and film industry in Canada. Samantha Bee What sane person could live in this world and not be crazy? Ursula K. Le Guin Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking. William Butler Yeats Normal is in the eye of the beholder. Whoopi Goldberg

Jim Lovell Although I get so much fan mail from Great Britain, tell me, am I more famous there than Michael Madsen? Tom Sizemore

If you allow one single germ, one single seed of slavery to remain in the

soil of America... that germ will spring up, that noxious weed will thrive, and again stifle the growth, wither the leaves, blast the flowers and poison the fair fruits of freedom.

their inherent resources and rules - without external borrowing from natural phenomena, without transforming those phenomena, in other words: not by abstraction.

This life, which had been the tomb of his virtue and of his honour, is

but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. William Shakespeare I'd lived by quotations, practically all my life. Loretta Young Fortune favours the bold. Virgil Love is never lost.

Dar Williams Give and ye shall receive. Bram Cohen So, it's nice to know that you've inspired someone to do their life's work. Wanda Jackson You get so tired of having your work die.

There was a time I was very much blaming the way I felt on L.A,

as important as nurturing one's body and mind. We are three dimensional beings: body, mind, spirit. Laurence Fishburne The income tax has made liars out of more Americans than golf.
