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. Betty Hill I'm hyperactive, and I went in the studio and I would just start making records, for no reason. Sean Combs Time heals all wounds, unless you pick at them. Shaun Alexander The Beatles saved the world from boredom. George Harrison The world is divided into two categories: failures and unknowns. Francis Picabia

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. Dennis Wilson I don't care who does the electing, so long as I get to do the nominating. Boss Tweed Many intelligence reports in war are contradictory; even more are false, and most are uncertain. 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. Denis Waitley The very aim and end of our institutions is just this: that we may think what we like and say what we think. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. I am not opposed to intelligence reform on its face, but any changes should reflect the current context. Ted Stevens It is never easy for anyone to have success in music. Billy Sheehan Before you can do something you must first be something. John Gielgud

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. Antony Jay Since it is not granted to us to live long, let us transmit to posterity some memorial that we have at least lived. E. Joseph Cossman The right to revolt has sources deep in our history. 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. Warren Mitchell Adult stem cells tend not to form tumors. Virginia Foxx Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Aleister Crowley

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. Christopher Morley Borrowing is not much better than begging; just as lending with interest is not much better than stealing. Doris Lessing It's a lot easier to tell the truth usually. Elliott Smith

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. Don Nickles When an opponent comes forward, move in and greet him; if he wants to pull back, send him on his way. Morihei Ueshiba I actually don't think that I'm gonna sell a lot of records. Elliott Smith

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. John Anderson We must never forget or diminish the sacrifices of those who gave everything for this nation. Jim Walsh Similes prove nothing, but yet greatly lighten and relieve the tedium of argument. Robert South During the 60's, drug use was in fashion in the U.S. Bill Toomey I love songs that have a rocking and grooving feeling. Joe Cocker I created no authority that wasn't already there under the constitution. John Engler Everybody has a different definition of the good side. Will Wright

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. Francis Quarles Earth changes, but thy soul and God stand sure. Robert Browning Free yourself from the rigid conduct of tradition and open yourself to the new forms of probability. Hans Bender I strongly believe that we as a nation can be both secure and free. Jon Corzine

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...

You can make people feel valued or cared for by design alone. It's not purely

about money. It's about how we choose to value human experience.Thomas Heatherwick I do a big roast of Trump during my set now - which I clearly expanded on - because there's so much to make fun of him about now.Lisa Lampanelli A vaccine that prevented tuberculosis would merit a Nobel Prize, but it's just very difficult to develop.Tom Frieden I go through the same kind of situations as other people. I have to give that to people, because people have this facade, this mirage, this mirror about me.Tory Lanez The wild thing is that when I'm in the band, I can control my destiny with four other guys. As a composer sitting in the audience, you can throw good vibes at everybody, but you can't control anybody's destiny, so it's really unsettling.David Bryan I'm an actor, and I don't judge my parts.Swara Bhaskar As a competitor, you want to be out there in the fire with your teammates.Brock Osweiler We wish to be treated 'not as ordi...

The great fear that hung over the business community in the 1970s was death by

regulation, and the great goal of the conservative movement, as it rose to triumph in the 1980s, was to remove that threat - to keep OSHA, the EPA, and the FTC from choking off entrepreneurship with their infernal meddling in the marketplace. Thomas Frank I had always been kind of obsessed with making a home of my own and was always drawing rooms that I wanted to live in, down to pictures on the wall and the faces that would be in the photographs, and how the couches would be situated. Michelle Williams It was easy to run around barefoot in oblivion in Costa Rica. But once I gave birth to my child, I didn't want to be oblivious to the obvious. Carolyn Murphy Intelligence is really a kind of taste: taste in ideas. Susan Sontag I'm a lioness. I have four cubs. I'm a mom. I want to take care of my kids and protect them. Heidi Klum The disease of an evil conscience is beyond the practice of all the physicians of all the countries in the would. William E. Gladsto...

I'm very fortunate to have spent so much time in the industry and to have

lived through several generations of filmmakers, actors and technicians. There's a huge volume of experience seeing people change and seeing content change. Amitabh Bachchan It's a rule to give all, and it can make the difference if you work more. If you don't have to give all, and you still win, what's this? Jurgen Klopp Outside football, I just love life, you know. We're lucky to play football, to have all this body. Everyone's watching us. You see how many people, they come and watch the game. It's unbelievable, you see how many people they come. They shout your name and just enjoy life. Paul Pogba Innovation is a game of numbers. How do you get enough ideas into the pipeline? Shari L. Ballard 'Monty Python And The Holy Grail' is a hugely important movie to me. I remember watching it for the first time on cable when I was about 13 years old. James Gunn I know what it is to be out entertaining millions and yet wanting to be home beca...

When it came to 'Binge,' it wasn't my intention to get on a little soapbox

and have a teaching moment. It was more, 'Here are things that have happened to me; here's what I've learned from it. If you'd like to learn from it too, great; if you just like the entertainment aspect, that's fine too.' Tyler Oakley I love if someone invites me to a restaurant, so I don't know if that's a feminist. Carine Roitfeld Being fired from a show - being fired in any way, in any instance, any business - is just hard. Kathleen Rose Perkins Just as many people flee Hollywood as those who flock to it. Hollywood can be an acquired taste. Shawn Amos I kind of liked the idea of filming musicians. I could like a musician and know, at the same time, maybe nobody else maybe liked them much or appreciated them. D. A. Pennebaker I believe in glamour. I am in favor of a little vanity. I don't rely on just my genes. Iman Dickens is always full of surprises. Claire Tomalin A musician's whole life is to listen. Wynton Marsalis ...

Blushing is thought to be linked to increased levels of norepinephrine in the brain, which

may be associated with romantic feelings. It signals that we are interested and excited, which is attractive to men. Helen Fisher There are two contrary impulses which govern this man's brain-the one sane, and the other eccentric. They alternate at regular intervals. Franz Schubert I also eat fruit instead of drinking juices. That's something I've read up on. I think that if you drink a lot of fruit juice you take in way too much sugar. You'd be better off eating a bunch of strawberries or apples. Kris Humphries History can bring luck: this is what we can call optimism. Stephane Hessel I want to bring more gymnastics on television. Shannon Miller Better not to exist than live basely. Sophocles I don't miss acting at all. Zachery Ty Bryan I was born in the USA, which many people still find hard to believe. Cesar Romero There's no mystique to acting. It's only common sense - and a bit of courage. Bill Hunter Life has a higher end, th...

With 'Good Will Hunting,' Miramax made certain the recruited audience wasn't expecting to laugh at

Robin Williams like they normally do. From my limited experience, you can really blow test screenings by conducting them in the wrong way. Gus Van Sant I certainly have opportunities many can only dream of - but in most ways I'm a typical girl in her 20s trying to forge a career and represent herself in what can sometimes seem rather strange circumstances. One of the most attractive has been the chance to publish 'Celebrate.' Pippa Middleton I realized early on, maybe better than some of my competitors did, that a textile business can run only if you have scale. I decided to horizontally and vertically integrate, adding everything from spinning, dyeing, weaving, and stitching to processing and packing. Mian Muhammad Mansha Research shows that children do better in school and are less likely to drop out when fathers are involved. Engaged parents can strengthen communities, mentor and tutor students, and demonstrate through their actions how much they value their chi...

I read everything, but generally more fact than fiction - especially autobiographies and

 biographies. I've read 'Long Walk to Freedom' by Nelson Mandela at least twice on holiday. Every time, I'm totally awed by his vision, strength and forgiveness. I feel honoured to have got to know him and his wonderful wife Graca over the years. Richard Branson There are no new facts about the Kennedys, only new attitudes, a literature that, like the automobile industry, puts new bodies on old chassis. John Gregory Dunne Artists are supposed to stay hungry. Michael Connelly I'm a purple girl! Justine Skye Nobody ever said that Hillary's nomination would be unopposed or would be something that was foreordained. David Brock Parishes must be the safest places for a child to be. Blase J. Cupich I'm not sure what 'cheeky' means. I hear it used so much and in so many different ways, I can't identify the real meaning of it. Taylor Lautner Wealth is just consistency... I don't want to be rich. I want to be wealthy. Quavo In 20th-century poetry, Robe...

The very first time I was on a car in Atlanta, I saw the conductor

- all conductors are white - ask a Negro woman to get up and take a seat farther back in order to make a place for a white man. I have also seen white men requested to leave the Negro section of the car. Ray Stannard Baker We must be willing to pay inspiring math and science teachers, who have high paying alternatives in industry, more to teach and reward students who take more challenging courses in high school. Mark Kennedy I like dialogue in novels. I wanted to avoid laying history on with a trowel - appearing to be lecturing, as opposed to the characters lecturing their children or students. Dialogue can humanise the story and make it go down somewhat more smoothly. Elliot Perlman The worst of the action films are the ones where everything is one shout from beginning to finish. And there's no differentiation between beats, like small or big, or quiet or expansive. It's all just one loud shout. Shane Black I wish to assure you that there can never be any return t...

If you're going to maintain true authorities over a subordinate organization, you have to have

some control over policy formulation of that organization and also the resources that are applied to it. Jack Keane Sometimes you get hungrier when you taste it. John McEnroe I do not watch horror films. At all. I am not a horror film girl; I don't have the stomach for it. I've seen a few in my lifetime, like 'The Shining' or 'Carrie,' but I can't sleep for, like, a week after I see something like that. Malin Akerman My husband is very supportive - he wants me to work but understands I also want to be with the kids. Holly Marie Combs I see no reason why France and Britain should not have excellent relations - we are old allies. Marine Le Pen I was a gay kid who didn't know I was a gay kid, which was really challenging because you think there is something wrong with you until you understand what it is. Jillian Michaels It's not about the stuff. The issue is how we use that stuff and how do we train people to use that stuff. Do we use...
