I've been getting a lot of science fiction scripts which contained variations on my 'Star

Trek' character and I've been turning them down. I strongly feel that the next role I do, I should not be wearing spandex. Marina Sirtis There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever. Mahatma Gandhi I don't know if we even mentioned UFOs. It was to find out why Barney was emotionally upset.

We just did a show in Providence, Rhode Island, and we got three puppy shots

before we even got on the air, which was great. Although sometimes you get flashed by some puppies that you'd rather not see. They're more like mongrels. Jerry Lawler Let us be of cheer, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come. Amy Lowell Acting is like a Halloween mask that you put on. River Phoenix Undoubtedly, there are numerous problems with the immigration system here in The United States. Corrine Brown In everything truth surpasses the imitation and copy. Marcus Tullius Cicero Crises are challenges, not calamities. Guy Verhofstadt I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park. Dolly Parton

I inherited a sick economy and passed on a sound one. But one abiding regret

for me is that, in between, I did not have the resources to put in place the educational and social changes about which I cared to much; I made only a beginning, and it was not enough. John Major In politics the middle way is none at all. John Adams There's no greater way to gain an audience's sympathy than by being unfortunate. Seth Green Anyone who knows a strange fact shares in its singularity. Jean Genet The Beach Boys are not a superstar group. The music is the superstar of the group.

Carl von Clausewitz

When you have energy companies like Shell and British Petroleum, both of which are perhaps

represented in this room, saying there is a problem with excess carbon dioxide emission, I think we ought to listen. James Baker The world is ruled only by consideration of advantages. Friedrich Schiller Courage means to keep working a relationship, to continue seeking solutions to difficult problems, and to stay focused during stressful periods.

It doesn't really exist; it's just basically lots of different stages between the two pieces,

and you end up with, like, a third shape that doesn't exist but is suggested to you by the image. Sean Booth I'm convinced that had I not changed my name, I don't think I would have had quite the same career curve that I eventually had. Ben Kingsley Elegance is innate. It has nothing to do with being well dressed. Elegance is refusal. Diana Vreeland You must not lean on a tree on Sabbath, if the tree might be dependent on you for support. Ovadia Yosef Our best thoughts come from others. Ralph Waldo Emerson When you do a job like this you have to like having cold sweat on your back. John Pomfret I love oldies just kind of sweet, slinky, Fifties music. The slow stuff. And Billie Holiday. Nastassja Kinski

The work of the political activist inevitably involves a certain tension between the requirement that

position be taken on current issues as they arise and the desire that one's contributions will somehow survive the ravages of time. Angela Davis It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other. Francis Bacon The only way to quieten me is to invite me to a tennis match. John Forsythe Run for office? No. I've slept with too many women, I've done too many drugs, and I've been to too many parties. George Clooney You don't choose. I just go where the work is. Jacqueline McKenzie It is the mind that maketh good or ill, That maketh wretch or happy, rich or poor. Michel de Montaigne A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large. Henry Ford

Our covering ministry is Challenge for Christ ministries, and Travel the Road was solely our

mission arm, designed to expose people to what missions are, then connect them with agencies that send people out. Michael Scott The courts are as a stage, people love to see attractive players. Anna Kournikova I am ready any time. Do not keep me waiting. John Mason Brown Back of ninety-nine out of one-hundred assertions that a thing cannot be done is nothing, but the unwillingness to do it. William Feather He's suffering from Politicians' Logic. Something must be done, this is something, therefore we must do it.

William O. Douglas

Can you hang in there with your investigators when things get going tough? Don't give

up on investigators because they have a little weakness. Work with them until the Holy Ghost tells you not to. Richard G. Scott Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes. Friedrich Nietzsche I haven't been to a movie in a year and a half. James Ellroy Once we open the door to the plutonium economy, we expose ourselves to absolutely terrible, horrifying risks from these people. David R. Brower Comedy comes from conflict, from hatred.

The broadest pattern of history - namely, the differences between human societies on different continents

- seems to me to be attributable to differences among continental environments, and not to biological differences among peoples themselves. Jared Diamond Generals think war should be waged like the tourneys of the Middle Ages. I have no use for knights; I need revolutionaries. Adolf Hitler Like everyone else who makes the mistake of getting older, I begin each day with coffee and obituaries. Bill Cosby I'm inspired by nature. Other artist's work is important for developing my perception. Mike Thompson I had a million questions to ask God: but when I met Him, they all fled my mind; and it didn't seem to matter.

To unfold the secret laws and relations of those high faculties of thought by which

all beyond the merely perceptive knowledge of the world and of ourselves is attained or matured, is a object which does not stand in need of commendation to a rational mind. George Boole Every one soon or late comes round by Rome. Robert Browning I never see failure as failure, but only as the game I must play and win. Tom Hopkins The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom. Aristotle Jim mentioned I was an ALEC member, and that's correct.

I don't know the taxpayer has perhaps much of an understanding of just how much

wealth has been and is being and can be created that flows through the economy and just how many jobs depend upon it.

The paradigm of competition is a race: by rewarding the winner, we encourage everyone to

run faster. When capitalism really works this way, it does a good job; but its defenders are wrong in assuming it always works this way. Richard Stallman I was born in Taunton, Massachusetts on June 1, 1917, but I actually grew up in nearby New Bedford. William Standish Knowles Britain is not a country that is easily rocked by revolution... In Britain our institutions evolve. We are a Fabian Society writ large. William Hamilton My mind's my kingdom.

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. Dana Priest I consider myself a line drive hitter with power. I just try to put my best swing on the ball every time.

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

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. George Meredith I'm only interested in fiction that in some way or other voices the very imagination which is conceiving it. John C. Hawkes

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

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.
