it from my writing partner and my crew, actors, and so hopefully, we're making people think. Lee Daniels Art brings a message into a room. It should make us perceive in a new way - either through color, form or narrative content - something we had not perceived before... and perhaps reveal something to you about yourself. Gloria Vanderbilt We all have choices we have to make, and with those choices come certain sacrifices. Hill Harper I'm so happy to be Tiffany Trump, happy to be in the family I'm in. Tiffany Trump The Barenboim Foundation has nothing to do with politics. Daniel Barenboim Once you go down a road, you take it through to the end. Peter Jackson I've been in enough positions to respect people with different views. Condoleezza Rice You can't get any better than TV on HBO, ABC and BBC3. Chris Lilley If you feel that there's the author and then the character, then the book is not working. People have a habit of identifying the a

Leif Garrett, and Scott Baio - it was embarrassing! I never understood it. I mean, why me? I never really got it. Willie Aames Meeting with the director is an audition. Chandler Massey As an artist, you want to make good stories and create good art; as a businessman, you want to make money and make sure the investors are happy. The two will always clash, unfortunately. Neil Jackson As an actor, I'm very much a company person. And this also goes through my life: I have a dread of responsibility. I like someone else to be in charge. Ian Holm You have to find ways to relate to the characters you get to play. Put it in terms and in a context that speaks to you. Randy Couture I grew up in the golden age of Flash Gordon and sci-fi. Margaret Atwood The only way to improve the GOP brand and make good public policy is to fix the process. This requires transforming the way Congress does business. Dan Webster I didn't disappear; I started writing songs and worked behi

Was a Schizophrenic.' I really enjoyed the process of doing that strip, despite its subject matter. To do it I'd had to do a lot of research and reading and I figured I'd like to do that again. Chester Brown The economic game is not supposed to be rigged like some shady ring toss on a carnival midway. Arianna Huffington Actually, I think my hands are in the best shape they've ever been in terms of what I can do. Andy Summers I never hated a man enough to give him diamonds back. Zsa Zsa Gabor We win justice quickest by rendering justice to the other party. Mahatma Gandhi The networks found themselves having to compete for an increasingly Balkanized audience. Roger Mudd Dealing with network executives is like being nibbled to death by ducks. Eric Sevareid

as of yet there is no cure, so I feel I want to get it as much publicity to do it as I can. Nick Robinson Ever since the Meiji restoration in 1868, Japan has turned its back on Asia in general and China in particular: its pattern of aggression from 1895 onwards and the colonies that resulted were among the consequences. Martin Jacques When you read reviews on Yelp, you get a good sense of what's going to happen when you walk in the door of that business. The challenge is that there are fifteen million businesses in the U.S., and its very hard to communicate with all of them about how Yelp works, and why it works the way it does. Jeremy Stoppelman I go to assume a task more difficult than that which devolved upon Washington. Unless the great God, who assisted him, shall be with me and aid me, I must fail; but if the same omniscient mind and almighty arm that directed and protected him shall guide and support me, I shall not fail - I shall succeed. Abraham Lincoln What I

right thing to do. And then you also never know when someone will be in position to help you or hurt you. I know I've gotten help from a lot of people who said good things about me because I treated them well. Jerry Reinsdorf Anti-New Deal rhetoric has never disappeared from American political life. Adam Cohen In all my years of baseball, I have always expected to be traded. I never liked the idea. Jackie Robinson To me, 'sexy' is a kind of beauty, a kind of self-expression, one that is to be celebrated. Emily Ratajkowski I thought I'd be doing weird, Off Broadway theater after I graduated. Laura Harrier I'm the classic case of a great player on a bad team, and it stinks. Paul Pierce I'm not a dreamer for, you know, 'I want to go to the moon someday.' I accomplished something when I was young, which was much more than I expected to. My results were much bigger than I ever dreamed about it. Nadia Comaneci The PKK is the number one thr

all of this talk about trying to make the game better. People talk about the high strike zone and changing this and that. Why? To speed up the game? That's the beauty of baseball. There is no time element. Eric Davis My dad also plays a little banjo and guitar, my mom plays the mandolin. Page McConnell I never set out to write prayers at all. But there was a span of time when I didn't find it easy to pray, but, when I went to write one of the things I had to write, a prayer would come. Gloria Gaither You can't get closer to the heart of national sovereignty than national security and intelligence services. Gijs de Vries A guy will promise you the world and give you nothin', and that's the blues. Otis Rush I think people often confuse success with fame and stardom. Brenda Blethyn The beautiful spring came; and when Nature resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt to revive also. Harriet Ann Jacobs Live to learn, learn to live, then teach others. Dou

you're not trying to win or lose; you're not trying to get a higher score - you are having unbelievable amounts of fun as you learn about yourself and the world. That's what games can do! Warren Spector If I wake up in the middle of the night and have an idea, I want to go to my computer and be able to do it. So I hired someone at Guitar Center to come over to my house and teach me Logic music program, and I learned it over a couple months. Rachel Platten To do this job, you really have to love what you're doing. Edward Kitsis I don't get recognised until I'm on stage, and then I can walk off and forget about it. It's great. Rick Astley Whatever age you think I am, you're probably right. Vanessa Ray I love coming of age stories that have struggle. Aaron Paul In an era of global value chains, worldwide sourcing and the never-ending search for new markets, we must be careful to avoid the proliferation of regional standards. A multilateral

they are fundamentally selfish, greedy, and exploitative. Of course, I don't agree with that narrative. John Mackey Sometimes, you just have to clear your head and get out to see other things. It is very important to be nourished. I love to go to museums and galleries, I like to see theatre, film, dance - anything creative. It doesn't promise you inspiration, but it nourishes your creative soul, and that's good. Marc Jacobs When I was growing up, I don't remember being told that America was created so that everyone could get rich. I remember being told it was about opportunity and the pursuit of happiness. Not happiness itself, but the pursuit. Martin Scorsese Folk music is music that everyday people can play, and it inspired a lot of people to make their own music. That trailed into making your own pop music, and that's why garage bands started springing up everywhere. Arlo Guthrie I'm a real nature lover, so whenever possible, I like to get to the

made me want to immerse myself in an alternative world. Mariella Frostrup Health care costs are an issue both for the government and for our larger economy. Sylvia Mathews Burwell Eddy Arnold was a great friend of mine, and through the years, Eddy and I, we did a lot of shows together, and we even worked in some real estate transaction things together, and he helped me there. You know, he was a great real estate man. Jim Ed Brown I'm not a divorce monger by any means, but if you're not happy in a relationship, and you've grown apart, it's not healthy for a couple to stay together. It's better for kids to see two happy parents than two miserable parents. Laura Wasser The government has completed the entire process to do away with interviews for lower rank jobs. There will be no requirement of interview for Group D,C and B non-gazetted posts in central government. Narendra Modi I sort of look at acting like that: if you have no confines, you have everyw

House; and yet this is of most importance. For, had I seen nothing else in England but this, I should have thought my journey thither amply rewarded. Karl Philipp Moritz Most of the time I feel stupid, insensitive, mediocre, talentless and vulnerable - like I'm about to cry any second - and wrong. I've found that when that happens, it usually means I'm writing pretty well, pretty deeply, pretty rawly. Andre Dubus III Looking forward, it might prove constructive to examine the true historical record of an issue prior to assuming the worst of anyone's motive and deconstructing and questioning anyone's Democratic bona fides. After all, we liberals got feelings. Gary Ackerman I loved that these two guys argued with each other as if movies actually mattered. Nobody I knew talked about movies that way, but Siskel and Ebert took each movie as it came and talked about whether it was a success on its own terms. Sarah Vowell The waltz can be sad and at the same ti
