time of night you feel it's appropriate to call someone. In your 20s, people call at 2 a.m. and yell, 'Are you up?' into the answering machine. Now, someone calls after 8 p.m., and my boyfriend is like, 'Who is that? Who could be calling at this hour?' Michael Patrick King Just to be working again as an actress and possibly doing TV would just be great. It's not about how big the role is. Aileen Quinn My own perception of cops was that they came into your neighborhood, they roughed up people that you loved for no reason and took them away. As a child you saw that. Sonja Sohn All I can do is today and tomorrow and have some idea of what we're doing next week. That's all I can worry about. Stephen Colbert Schools ought to teach students to challenge secular ideologies masquerading as science in the classroom. Nancy Pearcey The notion of getting under the hood and explaining how something works, that's fairly familiar territory to me. Sco...

of those things, I thought it was kind of a cool thing to do. I never thought about doing that as a profession, but I started checking things out and I found out there was a flight school down in Daytona Beach, called Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Jerry Doyle If I didn't have a scholarship to go to the University of Florida or any school, I probably would have considered the military because my family could not afford to send me to college. Emmitt Smith There is no bird flu in commercial stocks. Michael E. Mann No, what is important is neither linearity or non-linearity, but the change, the degree of change from something that doesn't move to other events with different tempos in particular. Karlheinz Stockhausen I the chief of sinners am, but Jesus died for me. John Wesley If they are willing to give women economic freedom in that home, if they are willing to live by the standard they wish women to live by, then homes will be preserves. Agnes Macphail ...

you, always smile and be nice because you don't know what kind of day they've had. You are going on holiday and they're stuck wherever they are. Be nice to them because they can re-route your baggage to wherever they feel like. Ross Kemp I've photographed just about everyone in the world. But what I hope to do is photograph people of accomplishment, not celebrity, and help define the difference once again. Richard Avedon We should be inspired by people... who show that human beings can be kind, brave, generous, beautiful, strong-even in the most difficult circumstances. Rachel Corrie You don't know when you're being watched. That's one of the weird things about celebrity. It's my least favorite part of acting, celebrity. Denzel Washington I'm off to sit on a cliff. Nik Kershaw I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living. Grimes I wanna be a nice guy. David Guetta But you see, I have played more good...

the 1940s. It wasn't categorised much before then. Even Grimm's tales were written for adults. But it is true that ever since 'Harry Potter' there has been a renaissance in fantasy literature. J. K. Rowling opened the door again. Rick Riordan The attack of John Brown upon Harper's Ferry came upon Virginia like a clap of thunder out of a clear sky. John Sergeant Wise Every one, more or less, loves Power, yet those who most wish for it are seldom the fittest to be trusted with it. Samuel Richardson I have lost a little bit of flexibility, but the doctors say with any kind of torn ligament it is not uncommon for the injury to take 16 months to be 100 percent healed. Michael Chang I'd love to play more challenging roles, characters that would stretch my comfort zone and imagination. Isabelle Fuhrman The first-born in every family is always dreaming for an imaginary older brother or sister who will look out for them. Bill Cosby Anything is an art if...

end the show on: it was a sort of 'It's a Wonderful Life' with Larry as the Jimmy Stewart character. In that episode, I was an ineffectual-schlep kind of brother, who got divorced three or four times and was a Las Vegas reject. Patrick Duffy Adolescence is a new birth, for the higher and more completely human traits are now born. G. Stanley Hall I always had an interest in fashion because my mom is a celebrity fashion stylist. I grew up being on set or in showrooms. Jasmine Tookes The relentless pursuit of perfection has been my problem over the years. It's maybe held me back. Ronnie O'Sullivan Death is the welcome cessation of idiocy. Stephen Evans I'm a mild-mannered person. Daniel Silva On a personal level, I love the idea of hosting an awards show. I think that sounds like kind of a fun thing to do. Zachary Levi I won't be satisfied until I've put the entire security industry out of work. Daniel J. Bernstein Sometimes I get an ...

me do. Like they won't set fire to me. They won't like let me jump off a 20 story building. There are certain big stunts that it's just impossible to get insurance to let me do, but for the most part I'd say I do probably 75% of my stuff. Alex O'Loughlin I also said, men are like curling irons, they never get out of your hair. And they are like government bonds, they take so long to mature. Kabir Bedi A committee is a group of the unprepared, appointed by the unwilling to do the unnecessary. Fred Allen When and under what conditions is the black man to have a free ballot? When is he in fact to have those full civil rights which have so long been his in law? Benjamin Harrison I love carbs, but denial is good training for the mind. Jason Momoa I can do a gig without an instrument. Gavin DeGraw The problems of all of humanity can only be solved by all of humanity. Friedrich Durrenmatt Graffiti's always been a temporary art form. You make your ma...

You for Smoking' is that 'Up in the Air' deals with the complicated human stuff in a way that my other films have not. It's a more articulated film, and because of that, I'm most proud of it. Jason Reitman In my own mind, I am still a fat brunette from Toledo, and I always will be. Gloria Steinem I like for people to have fun and that comes out in the music. Two Chainz Every person has a signature. Just some people don't know it yet. Rita Ora The ant world is a tumult, a noisy world of pheromones being passed back and forth. E. O. Wilson In the western part of England lived a gentleman of large fortune, whose name was Merton. Thomas Day Freedom in a commons brings ruin to all. Garrett Hardin The first nine albums there was never a Synthesiser, never any Orchestra. There was never any other player except us on the albums. Brian May The basis of our partnership strategy and our partnership approach: We build the social technology. They prov...

Rather I believe that the relationship between the two Koreas is entering into a new phase - a time of transition. And so I think that the North Koreans are trying to see what they can build with this, with my new administration. Lee Myung-bak I think that it's more likely that in my 60s and 70s I will be writing poetry rather than fiction. Robert Morgan They put all this money into these huge films and then no one goes to see them. That sort of shows they're out of touch. Then everyone in town passes on my little movie and it does really well. Zach Braff It's time to stop obsessing about overhead and start focusing on progress. Change charity, and charity can change the world. Dan Pallotta I forget to take care of Angie being so busy taking care of everyone else. Angie Stone Dreams have as much influence as actions. Stephane Mallarme With photography, you zero in; you put a lot of energy into short moments, and then you go on to the next thing. Robert Map...

'Dr. Bailey,' something that brings her home to the audience, something that makes people say, 'I know that woman. I work with that woman.' It's incredibly flattering and I'm still finding new things with her all the time. Chandra Wilson Writing a song is actually quite easy. Writing a good one is very, very difficult. Joe Elliott It is one of the most effective attitudes of the neurotic to measure thumbs down, so to speak, a real person by an ideal, since in doing so he can depreciate him as much as he wishes. Alfred Adler One travels so as to learn once more how to marvel at life in the way a child does. And blessed be the poet, the artist who knows how to keep alive his sense of wonder. Ella Maillart The power of imagination makes us infinite. John Muir Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' is my go-to song to pump myself up if I'm having a tough time or if I get really nervous right before a speech. Sara Blakely I get and read an enormous...

It's been hard on me because flying the Enterprise for seven years in Star Trek and sitting in Cerebro in X-men has led people to believe that I know what I'm talking about. But I'm still trying to work out how to operate the air conditioning unit on my car. Patrick Stewart No, no, the songs write themselves, almost. Mel Brooks I stand for simple justice, equal opportunity and human rights. The indispensable elements in a democratic society - and well worth fighting for. Helen Suzman I think anybody who has been abused as a kid - and I was abused as a kid, by various people - will say it's irrational because violence is irrational. Samantha Morton I have loved 'Les Miz' for so long. It was the first Broadway show I'd ever done. Lea Michele Your mid-thirties is a good time because you know a fair amount, you have some self-control. Zadie Smith Shooting stuff on horseback is more complicated and time consuming than anything else. Mark Addy ...

film. Everybody that makes them has an ego, and the problem with awards and stuff like that is that it always affects the egos, and everyone gets stained by it in some way. And that can be fine and very innocent, but it can be horrible as well. Danny Boyle I have a taste for a kind of melancholy and for being an absolute victim of love. Arielle Dombasle I've never tried to do couture, because it's a whole different beast. Tommy Hilfiger As an actress, I was trained to show emotion I did not feel, or no emotion at all. Gene Tierney I come from a long line of people that write. My folks ran a weekly newspaper. Sam Wyly You know, one of my fears about living alone so long is that you get used to doing everything your own way. Terry McMillan No limits whatever are placed to the productions of the earth; they may increase forever. Thomas Malthus Theater is there to search for questions. It doesn't give you instructions. Vaclav Havel The best thing about be...

now debating whether to honor its debts and obligations, then, should come as a surprise. But playing political football with a necessary vote to raise the nation's debt ceiling has become as predictable as a Twitter rant from Charlie Sheen. Peter Welch When you write for a show that's not yours, your job is to hear the voices of the characters and write as best you can for those voices. Amy Sherman-Palladino I believe that any candidate who supports the war should not receive our support. It doesn't matter if they're Senator Clinton or whoever. Cindy Sheehan Without truth I feel ashamed to be alive. Andrei Platonov It's hard to write a good plot, it's very hard. David Mamet People of art should never get married and have children, because it's a selfish experience. Mikhail Baryshnikov I grew up in Houston, in a pretty urbane setting. Mireille Enos Every song asks to be sung in a different way. Ray LaMontagne Social media is its own s...

had the opposite effect from what many might have hoped such free and open access to information would have had. It has instead provided free and open access, without the traditional media filters, to a barrage of disinformation. Lawrence M. Krauss Not only am I a spender, I have had a couple of business people in the past who have been spending my money quite happily. Roger Moore One good reason for writing novels based on your life is that you have something to read in old age when you've forgotten what happened. Nina Bawden Do we root for Michael Corleone in the 'Godfather' films? I think so, even if he is a monster. Jacques Audiard I don't have time to worry about looking cool. Jane Leeves The closer you are to people, the more you realise what has happened to them. Jennifer Lynch I wanted to make youthful, irreverent anthems. Parents might not get it, but kids would. Kesha My dear friend, clear your mind of cant. Samuel Johnson I always prefer...

the Fall, the Good Hermit, 'Tom Jones,' 'Huckleberry Finn,' 'Paradise Lost,' 'Henry V,' and 'My Cousin Vinny.' That doesn't mean that you can't enjoy or understand it on an emotional level, free of all allusion, which is the test of any book of fiction. Mark Helprin You talked about national identity cards and the terrorism bill. We have made a government that has grown used to viewing us as subjects, has grown used to seeing its role as commanding us. Malcolm Wallop Theater really gets damaged when there is a paucity of good criticism around. Tony Kushner Ronald Reagan, whatever his pros and cons were, was a public servant in the end. Eugene Jarecki I wasn't really naked. I simply didn't have any clothes on. Josephine Baker 'Danity Kane' was a wonderful group, and like all things, nothing is forever. We had a great run and we were very successful. Aubrey O'Day In 1941 Richard Owen said that the dinos...

want to see their children die or killing other people. The only people that it is entertainment to are the people in the capital that have been brainwashed and are misguided and living in a completely unrealistic kind of world. Liam Hemsworth Government has really been growing, a lot of largesse, but the people in the real world aren't. And that's what has to change. Government has no conformity at all with the real world. Michele Bachmann If you look at the movies that come out, most of them are bad, so it's not as if achieving some level of success means you get offered better roles, because frankly they don't seem to exist. Jesse Eisenberg With my writing, because I live it, I have to be consumed by it, and that means you have to forget your other life, which is constantly pulling you from your work. Paullina Simons Sometimes you work with somebody you've never heard of because you just feel like working. Benmont Tench Nothing beats the original Kri...

those two hours shoulder-to-shoulder, next to one student, concentrated attention, shining this beam of light on their work, on their thoughts and their self-expression, is going to be absolutely transformative, because so many of the students have not had that ever before. Dave Eggers I'm considered homophobic and crazy about these things and old fashioned. But I think that the family - father, mother, children - is fundamental to our civilisation. Rupert Murdoch Everybody's seen a stream or a wood they knew replaced by a strip mall. Tom Scholz We have so many people retiring that we do not have enough people paying into the system to be able to provide the benefits for those collecting those benefits. Chris Chocola Up until the end of the Bush Administration, there was indifference to the North Korean suffering under Kim Jong-Il. Ed Royce I love men's wear. Lara Stone I love Australia. My dream would be to have a place to live there and be able to commute ...

a fascinating, fascinating comment. Yes, irrelevant to the little subculture, this microculture, of modern art. But here's the point: My art is relevant because it's relevant to 10 million people. That makes me the most relevant artist in this culture. Thomas Kinkade The key is for the audience never to know, so I have a plan B for every illusion. David Copperfield At the end of the day, you have to find the humanity in you in each character. Russell Hornsby You know, one of the biggest thrills I have is when famous people recognize me from Taxi. Marilu Henner I never write with an actor in mind - never. Andrea Arnold Similarly you can make a transition from one set of instruments to another imperceptibly. Gavin Bryars That's the thing about interviews, at some point you're going to change your mind. But it's there forever and you can't escape it. Martha Plimpton Prices are always lower when the troops are in the street. David Bonderman T...

adventure race with experts mainly, and here we have 'Expedition Impossible.' I like the outdoors and I like doing something fresh for television you haven't seen before. Mark Burnett I really believe in science. It is a faith. It is a reverence akin to religion. But as we always say, it's different from religion in that, as near as we can tell, it exists outside of us. It has an objective quality, the process of science. Bill Nye When someone you have a lot of respect for believes in you, it helps you believe in yourself. Cat Osterman Sadly, I have found that even evolution's most staunch believers are afraid to debate, because they know that their case for atheism and evolution is less than extremely weak. Ray Comfort The thing about many celebrities - not all - is that they're fantastic actors. Paul Lieberstein Border security is a safety issue. Heather Wilson When I was skating I felt I represented not just my family and the people who help...

and to still want to remain private, it's really quite difficult to explain to people what you're trying to do. I mean I'd actually quite like to be a recluse, but you know, you've got to promote the record as well. Chris Lowe I do love to perform. And I'm ever so grateful that this has turned into a job with a future. Melissa Manchester I don't think I ever wanted fame. Susan Sullivan Every couple goes through things. Heidi Klum You cannot spend your way out of recession or borrow your way out of debt. Daniel Hannan When I was really young, I shot a lot with my Super 8. Danny Huston I've learned to surround myself with women who lift me up and leave me feeling nurtured rather than drained. Carre Otis No Georgian has the right to evade or neglect his duties and responsibilities. Eduard Shevardnadze I love fashion. I think it's so important, because it's how you show yourself to the world. Emma Watson

Barack Obama. From the beginning of his presidency to the present, he has spoken specifically and in unprecedented fashion of Republicans as his rivals, his stumbling blocks, the primary cause of his troubles. John Podhoretz I've always had an affinity and a passion for cars and that whole car culture. Ludacris You must write to the people's expertise. Theodore Sturgeon The toddler craves independence, but he fears desertion. Dorothy Corkille Briggs I put myself and all the members of Congress in the same boat of things that could have been done better. John Breaux I mean, there'll always be room for big productions and everything but it's good to see the other side. Emeli Sande Paris and Nicky Hilton? Those girls will show up to the opening of a phone book. It's like a big joke. Rachel Perry Much of the success of life depends upon keeping one's mind open to opportunity and seizing it when it comes. Alice Foote MacDougall The thing about...

a bit like dance. I have done Muay Thai and Wushu, which is cool because it's very fluid dance. I also do Tricking. It's kind of like Taekwondo with the big kicks and flips and showier aspects of martial arts. Caity Lotz I think if you're half-hearted you shouldn't go into acting. Jane Badler I'm not here to judge, I'm here to empower women to figure out what's best for them. Heidi Murkoff I'm not big into images. I'm into reality. Paul Tagliabue A good opening and a good ending make for a good film provide they come close together. Federico Fellini We see violence to forcibly seize land, at any price, murders and corruption. Claudio Hummes I've always believed in survival. Hugh Leonard To be honest, I enjoy all different types of films and experiences. Abbie Cornish The American public does not know poets exist. James Broughton

high quality. For example, I'm never doing a restaurant in Shanghai because I saw the produce available there, and it's just not good. I won't do a restaurant in Moscow for the same reason. Joel Robuchon I don't remember ever having writer's block. If I sit in there for four hours, I'll usually have something. Randy Newman I think we were raised in a nice Texas Jewish family where education was the most important thing, and close behind that was the arts. It was emphasized and expected that we'd play piano. Lisa Loeb A lot of the things that until now seemed unthinkable are starting to be thinkable. Nick Johnson I will tell you, I'm a lousy cook, but I think I'm a pretty good judge of a good meal. Barney Frank The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow. Marcus Tullius Cicero I'm not a great writer. E. L. James The environment is better and better for Democrats...

the way it was when al-Qaeda planned the 9/11 attacks in the Kandahar area, conducted the initial training for the attackers in training camps in Afghanistan before they moved on to Germany and then to U.S. flight schools. David Petraeus And it is essential that in fighting terrorism, sacrifices should not be made on democracy. Bulent Ecevit I have never wanted to give up performing on stage, but one day the tours will be over. Mick Jagger I love being able to go to a store, let's say... a store like Topshop or Zara or maybe even Macy's, depends on what department, and not have to look at the price tag. Tyra Banks Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Randall Terry All human beings are also dream beings. Dreaming ties all mankind together. Jack Kerouac This morning someone sent me a very funny photo of me holding their puppy. We have matching colour jackets. Luke Treadaway I am not a jazz singer. I wouldn't place myself on that footing...

when the new 'Resident Evil' comes out, I have to sit and do the whole thing. It will consume my life. I'm at a point where I don't have much time to play around anymore, so I don't really get started on the games if I won't be able to finish them. Ben Schwartz Well, I think probably the main reason people overeat is stress. Jenny Craig I was trying to be this person who is cool, eternally rocking. Billy Corgan I would show up at a party for Al Qaeda if you said there's going to be a dinner. Gilbert Gottfried It is time for the general fund to pay the Social Security fund back. Jacob Lew My marriage to my husband, Bart Conner in 1996 is my proudest personal moment. Nadia Comaneci I always look at people and think how I would cast them.

think a lot of people don't realize that heart disease is the number one killer of women. So what we're doing is encouraging women to tell five other women to learn more about heart disease and how they can prevent it. Cheryl Hines As a kid, my idols were Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson, and I get into crazy races with myself. Raimi was 21 when he made movies, and when I didn't get 'Cabin Fever' made that fast I thought I'd failed. Eli Roth Peter Beard is one of those people I've known a long time. We have an affinity. We share certain values. Terry Southern I've always chosen my band members based on their sense of humor. It might sound stupid, but it means not only are they fun to live with on a tour bus for years, but humor implies intelligence. Kristin Hersh I'm fascinated with the electronic devices that we can mess around with. Gerry Mulligan Yoga is a great thing and meditation is also great to get connected to yourself more. Ziggy...

of the first four episodes on videotape, watched them and was instantly into it. During the first episode, I was like, 'Eh.' By the time I got to the second one, I couldn't watch them fast enough. I got on the phone that night, called Time Warner cable and ordered HBO right then. Denis O'Hare I don't know nothing about no jungle and bass. Timbaland Born on a mountain, raised in a cave. Arresting fugitives is all I crave. Duane Chapman But while they prate of economic laws, men and women are starving. We must lay hold of the fact that economic laws are not made by nature. They are made by human beings. Franklin D. Roosevelt I can't analyse my appeal. If I did, I'd be in a straitjacket. Daria Werbowy Movies' mistrust of capitalism is almost as old as the medium itself. James Surowiecki That we must all die, we always knew; I wish I had remembered it sooner. Samuel Johnson I don't do e-mails. Pat Bowlen Any person who says their fa...

no reason for my economics course. Devoting time to the study of how people use limited resources to fulfill unlimited wants and needs should help us to discover how to best utilize the resources we have at our disposal. Kurt Bills I'm really looking forward to it, if you can imagine floating weightless, watching the world pour by through the big bay window of the space station playing a guitar; just a tremendous place to think about where we are in history. Chris Hadfield Even in my first analysis of a depressive psychosis, I was immediately struck by its structural similarity with obsessional neurosis. Karl Abraham Honestly, all I ever do is work. Leighton Meester If you want a watch with diamonds on the bezel, you don't need me. Richard Mille If something comes up I might write about it, but without an outlet the whole thing winds down. Don McLean I'm not afraid of turning 80 and I have lots of things to do. I don't have time for dying. Ingvar Kampr...

if a guy woke up one morning and he was a bug? Wouldn't that be weird?' And they loved that. And I think that was the trigger that made me think, like, 'Oh man, here's my audience. They're just a lot shorter than I ever thought they might be.' Jon Scieszka But the drawings are not created only to be sold. Christo Where I'm from, they'll beat your head until it gets back down to normal size. Kel Mitchell You go through publicists because it's easy for a publicist to say to another publicist, 'No'. Martin Short I was a TV junkie as a kid. I am the Sesame Street generation. Darren Aronofsky I wanted to play music. I didn't think about where it would go or what it would do. Charlie Simpson Literature is about as unnecessarily necessarily as tableware or ironed shirts. Peter Bichsel You can't separate the two, being a parent, being a cop. Raymond Kelly I like the idea of Wild Infancy, of people who have a deprived b...

supply chain, but this is essentially retrofitting. In the social enterprise movement, we see companies whose essence, the products they make, the reason they exist from day one, is because these people see something out in the world that they cannot accept. Jerry Greenfield My parents have always been there to really support anything I wanted to do or learn - they provided the opportunity for me. I was very blessed in that sense. Paula Creamer And I never ask what I'm doing the next day. I don't want to know what I'm doing tomorrow. It's much too overwhelming. So I just go day by day, without knowing. Jennifer Lopez One of the things my service in Iraq did give me was this freedom from fear of failure or any kind of expectations that I had to take a standard path. Kevin Powers The acting was first. As a teenager I was an actress; and then I came back as a singer. Julie London When I finished high school, I was 16, and in Argentina you have to choose a ca...

I have the sense of the scene, I have all that stuff. But I'm also looking for something else to happen, an accident or something. You're focused on the story you intend to tell and then you have to have a peripheral net out to catch these accidents. Gore Verbinski My mother is a beauty. Mary-Louise Parker We are facing extreme volatility. Carlos Ghosn I like being able to provide consistent and frequent literary choices for my fans. Janet Evanovich A worker's paradise is a consumer's hell. Esther Dyson Senator Kerry voted to undermine the troops in the field, and that is not only inexcusable, it is reprehensible. John Ensign I'm very inspired by other cultures and very often use what I perceive to be exotic ingredients. Eric Ripert But transitions from the politics of violence to democratic compromise are always messy. Timothy Garton Ash I hope all you young girls see yourself up there... we were just like you. Mia Hamm

know, mixed, almost entirely African Diaspora community, one of the things that we were not ever supposed to say was how much self-hatred and colorism determined and guided what we would call our desire. In other words, what we would consider beautiful. Junot Diaz I don't want to be known as somebody that everybody knows about. Mark-Paul Gosselaar As the daughter of a schoolteacher, I feel very strongly that the most important thing in school takes place right there in that classroom, and the interaction between the teacher and the child. Kerry Healey I run; I am a coward at heart. I swear, when I smell violence or aggression the coward comes out in me. I have no desire to fight anybody except myself. Rutger Hauer People don't get it; they think I'm rich. I'm not! I have no money. Jamie Campbell Bower I love sitting down and talking to people. CNBC gave me a chance to do it in a way that I liked. They gave me a chance to also develop the skills to learn f...

of people haven't heard of, and as a result, I've conditioned myself to go into small independent films with the expectation that they will not, and therefore, I have to find my reward elsewhere. William Mapother There was some indecision as to when I was born. My sister said it was 1916. I'd lost my birth certificate. Michael Gough Every morning I wake up in a home where Mike Tyson previously laid in the bed and he earned over $500 million his career. It makes me conscious. Curtis Jackson My studies are important to me. I made the honor role just recently, with 2 A's and 2 B's. Ryan White Would you believe in what you believe in if you were the only one who believed it? Kanye West I had to learn everything about manufacturing, patents and how to run a business, and eventually I came up with an prototype that worked. Melissa George As I've gotten older, I've become attracted to things that have substance. Seann William Scott Everything m...

as brown rice and lentils. Now I eat small meals throughout the day: oatmeal with cinnamon to start, fruit and yogurt as a snack, and vegetables or with chicken or tuna, and a healthy carb, like a yam, for lunch. Alison Sweeney The elusive nature of love... it can be such a fleeting thing. You see it there and it's just fluttering and it's gone. Mick Jagger As society changes, laws have to change to protect citizens along the way. Sometimes you have to try new and different and creative ways to solve problems. You have to take some risks. John Rowland Churches, depending on their policy, can do fantastic work with people in the community. Annie Lennox By the time I'm 40, interplanetary travel will be common. Nobody will want to talk to me at that age, anyway. Ace Frehley As premiums continue to skyrocket, we must ensure that health insurers are not engaging in anticompetitive behavior and unfairly driving up health care costs. Diana DeGette Jews are the in...

didn't read a single script, and I wrote a film. I felt like I needed to do something that I had control over, as an artist, and also just do something where I felt like I had some control over my life, as just a human, out in the world. Charlie Hunnam The burden of poverty isn't just that you don't always have the things you need, it's the feeling of being embarrassed every day of your life, and you'd do anything to lift that burden. Jay-Z Freud was one of the greatest influences on me. He made myth into psychiatry, and I've been trying to turn it back into myth again. Ross MacDonald Perceive that which cannot be seen with the eye. Miyamoto Musashi What else does anxiety about the future bring you but sorrow upon sorrow? Thomas a Kempis I think there is a niche for every market. Lauren Conrad We cannot turn our back and say that violence in films or anything that we do doesn't have a sort of influence. It does. Jamie Foxx The exercise o...

actor or by a director when you've seen enough and been around. So when I am, or when I forget that I'm watching someone's movie, or when I don't know how someone made a certain turn that I didn't expect . . . You know, I'm in. Brad Pitt People respond faster to you on a text than an e-mail. Why is that? Why will they ignore an e-mail, but get back to a text? Gayle King Philanthropy is my job. will.i.am Put your blog out into the world and hope that your talent will speak for itself. Diablo Cody The hardest thing in acting is going from child actor to adult actor. It's taken me a long time. Shia LaBeouf Obviously, I come from one background, and the people that design fitness equipment have been doing it for years and years, and they know what works and doesn't work. Lance Armstrong In some areas I am more noted for reading then I am for cookies! Wally Amos The music technology scene is changing so fast it's hard to keep up. Natasha...

to organism, from plant to insect to mammal to me and back again, and into the sea, tugging along pieces of this genome, strings of genes from that, transplanting grafts of DNA, passing around heredity as though at a great party. Lewis Thomas Love isn't intellectual - it's visceral. Kelly McGillis The boarding I do is pretty strenuous and because I'm so active I really don't have to work out too often. Shaun White I never plot out my novels in terms of the tone of the book. Hopefully, once a story is begun it reveals itself. Alice Hoffman It's not as if our party has a leadership campaign underway. Peter MacKay No one was more important than my mom and dad. I know they are watching from a place up in heaven here today to make sure all their kids are doing good. Eddie Murray Cricket is not a rational sport in India, and we go overboard. Harsha Bhogle Companies that get confused, that think their goal is revenue or stock price or something. You ha...

dwelling on it. We want to know how it affects other people, if they liked us for it, if they didn't like us. I think we stress over it, we replay it in our mind. It becomes an old tape that years later we continue to play it in our mind. Sherri Shepherd Americans believe in the value of immigration. We are the most generous nation on earth to immigrants, allowing over one million people a year to come here legally. Marco Rubio States can be deterred by the fear of retaliation; non-state organisations cannot by deterred at all. John Bruton The same liberty that protects me also protects members of the Mafia. Barbara Amiel If the audience walks out of a concert thinking, What a wonderful experience, then we have done our job. Emanuel Ax It's really good to be able to think about past loves without having a pit in my stomach, or cringing or feeling heart-broken, or like they hate you. Don't you think? Winona Ryder Now that I've got some films under my be...

working very hard. I mean, I'm very lazy. So for me, I would always have an excuse, you know, to go - quit early, go to a museum, you know. So I do everything I can to make myself remember this is a job. I keep a schedule. Robert Caro It's all false pressure; you put the heat on yourself, you get it from the networks and record companies and movie studios. You put more pressure on yourself to make everything that much harder. John Belushi Now, everybody knows my music. So that's really cool. A lot of kids know it. Now, when I go to a sports game, everybody knows my name. Nat Wolff So I think, if September 11 taught us anything, it taught us that we're vulnerable, and vulnerable in ways that we didn't fully understand. Condoleezza Rice This dark brightness that falls from the stars. Pierre Corneille It is perhaps both a blessing and a curse that fictional worlds spring into my mind nearly fully formed and it takes quite a while to sift through everything...

Office when I came was to provide businesses with more information about business opportunities in Connecticut. That's both to businesses that are here already and also to businesses that are not located here, but might be interested in coming. Susan Bysiewicz A mere ape in our world may be a scholar in its own, and the low life of any beast may be a source of deep satisfaction for the beast itself. Jeffrey Kluger My whole life was service to people and the Fatherland. Wilhelm Frick Over the past few years special interests have had a larger and larger say over who gets what in America, and the voices of average citizens are being shut out. Marty Meehan We came in today with a chip on our shoulder to prove who we are. Bill Laimbeer I think I am a child. Everything blows my mind. Marc Bolan The Republic is open and tolerant but also knows how and when to be firm and make its values respected. Jean-Pierre Raffarin I think that songwriting changed when groups star...

this is not just about the euro. You can expand and extend it into the whole constitutional issue. The British people have been suckered with regard to how the whole currency and constitutional issues have been sold to them. Lloyd Dorfman I could go insane if I obsessed over every little detail of all of my companies. My management philosophy is to pay attention to the vital few and ignore the trivial many. John Paul DeJoria The Hercules' was a monumental undertaking. It is the largest aircraft ever built... I put the sweat of my life into this thing. Howard Hughes I was brought up by an Episcopalian father and Presbyterian mother in nondenominational Army chapels all over the world and never really had much religious experience. Sally Quinn It kills me when I see some metal band trying to pass themselves off as an 'alternative band.' Dimebag Darrell I have osteoarthritis, which especially affects my knees. Malcolm Boyd I love wearing a lot of color, and I...

country. I really started in punk and anti-folk, but one of the reasons I originally gravitated towards country music is because most of those songs only use three chords. That was the easiest place for me to start, but I'm always trying to expand what I do. Caitlin Rose It's almost not safe to be an artist, the way everybody is randomly picking people to feud with. Busta Rhymes I hope to stay on 'Glee,' I hope to still be a 'Housewife' and I hope to do 'The New Normal.' I just want to do it all! Why not? I'm only going to be young for a little while longer. NeNe Leakes Anybody who writes a diary insists it must be read by someone else. Peter Greenaway I grew up in Minnesota. Seann William Scott I won't say, 'I have two degrees; I shouldn't be getting your latte.' Because I paid my dues when I got to the table, I actually had something to say. Dana Fox Every baseball crowd, like every theatre audience, has its own di...

tens of thousands of lives. More than 400 of those first responders did not make it out alive. In rushing into those burning buildings, not one of them asked, 'What God do you pray to?' What beliefs do you hold?' Michael Bloomberg When I got older, I chose to look at Christianity as another myth. Tori Amos We were concerned with having good songs, not just songs that go two hundred miles per hour. Travis Barker The reason the contracts are so long is because actors are very spontaneous; we may want to do Shakespeare one day and be Porky Pig the next! Jorja Fox I remember listening to Cube's music when I was like 14 years old, my friends listening to it up in Toronto. Scott Speedman I have never made a decision based on race and never will. Cuba Gooding, Jr. I have to stay alone in order to fully contemplate and feel nature. Caspar David Friedrich In virtually every Western society in the 1960s there was a moral revolution, an abandonment of its entire...

and 14 now. That's the age kids usually read my book. And I remember myself; we'd gone through a world war. My father was an army officer so I was aware of what was going on. But I wasn't bombarded with images of catastrophe like many kids are today. Lois Lowry Some of the free lunch programs were still goin' on - based on the last leg of the Black Panther Party. Kool Moe Dee Nobody likes it when someone calls in sick. Homaro Cantu John Lennon was very irreverent and very intelligent. Brenda Lee Knowledge shrinks as wisdom grows. Alfred North Whitehead As a kid I was always a bit of a clown, a performer. Simon Baker Government shouldn't tell you whom to marry. Michael Bloomberg You can't live someone else's expectations in life. It's a recipe for disaster. Bear Grylls Science fiction writers put characters into a world with arbitrary rules and work out what happens. Rudy Rucker

the future, and the bill is coming due. So there cannot be anything that is not put on the table. There will not be one American that will not be called to sacrifice. Those that are more well-to-do will be called to sacrifice to a greater extent. Tom Coburn Part of my work is dedicated to artisanship and can only be done by very few people because it requires a specific technique. Being an artist is being at the service of yourself; I am at the service of other people. Christian Louboutin I think in order to move forward into the future, you need to know where you've been. Charles Williams Relatively few people should start companies. Reid Hoffman I eat, sleep, and drink my character. It is my fantasy to go to another planet. Ace Frehley I think audiences, producers and directors included, develop crushes on actors (actresses in particular) and then lose interest and move on to the next one. Julia Stiles I feed on art more than I ever do on photographs. I can admi...

to me. And this was no ordinary tempest. Everyone on the bridge knew what it was: the Devil's Fist, a near-eternal typhoon that migrated about the North Indian basin year-round. She was infamous, and earned her name by striking airships out of the sky. Kenneth Oppel Many people leave government disillusioned about its ability to achieve change and cynical about politicians. I left with rather opposite lessons. Geoff Mulgan The difference between me and them is that I'll look at Jesse Jackson and I'll see four Jesse Jacksons, and they'll just see one, the clown ambulance chaser. Chris Matthews Well the truth is, Republicans didn't just lose a few elections, we lost our way. Mike Pence There's no reason you should write any novel quickly. John Irving My father was in the ad business, and he wanted to be a painter. Bruce Campbell I was young. I was newly married. And I had worked like a dog. I just wanted to live and travel. Sarah Michelle Gellar ...

are willing to train and do whatever they need to do to prepare, more often than not they're not in a very professional environment where you've got a high performance director and a coach that are really monitoring your daily activities. Alberto Salazar God forbid you sing about love. It's a lost concept. Lenny Kravitz If you don't have the right people around you and you're moving at a million miles an hour you can lose yourself. Dave Chappelle I guess somehow I got a reputation of being able to dance. Uma Thurman I'm more interested in being good than being famous. Annie Leibovitz Understanding is a three-edged sword. Your side, my side, and the truth. J. Michael Straczynski Conflict happens. People aren't happy all of the time. Sara Ramirez I guess I'd like to get old and die, in that order. Preston Manning The hard fact is that not everyone does get published. Rudy Rucker

their fingertips - the dainty fidgets of Hardy's plump digits, Orson Welles performing magic tricks with nimble dexterity, Jackie Gleason lofting a teacup to his lips as if he were Lady Bracknell - or through a fine set of twinkle-toes. James Wolcott Let us lose none of their humble words, let us note their slightest gestures, and tell me, tell me that we will think of them together, now and later, when we realise the misery of the times and the magnitude of their sacrifice. Georges Duhamel There is no need for nuclear. The world can be powered by wind, water and sun alone. Mark Z. Jacobson Maybe I can't act, but I know the gimmicks. I studied acting all my life and know what's good for me. Alan Ladd The animals are right here, right in front of us. And how we treat these companions is a test. Linda Blair Toughness doesn't have to come in a pinstripe suit. Dianne Feinstein But we cannot just take this historical fact for granted. We must make it live. ...

dread. Also, Mother Teresa said that in India, a woman dying in the street will share her banana with anyone who needs it, whereas in America, people amass and hoard as many bananas as they can to sell for an exorbitant profit. So half of them go bad, anyway. Anne Lamott I think if I had to choose, I would rather have gravity instead of zero gravity. It's fun for a while, but I'd rather live on Earth. Kevin A. Ford I remember when first, Stripes, and then Animal House came out - which I was really proud of, even though it was kind of loose and quite raucous - there were imitative movies that were not quite as good. Ivan Reitman My son has died of AIDS. Nelson Mandela I watch a lot of professional skating, and I am really looking forward to going to nationals. Debi Thomas I used to be more of a sporty girl. I love outdoor activities. I haven't been doing much since living in Vancouver. I have my routines down in L.A. Lana Parrilla I have been through two wars...

of the things that happened in the 1980s, and partly because of the tone of some of the debate in the 1980s that appeared to say public spending on the arts was something you might want to progressively reduce. Jeremy Hunt Conventionally handsome is not really where I'm at. Domhnall Gleeson This sunlight linked me through the ages to that past consciousness. Richard Jefferies I put a lot of pressure on myself and I think I am quite... well, intense about driving other people. Matthew Fox Film is a very intimate medium. David Morse There are so many people, deaf or otherwise abled, who are so talented but overlooked or not given a chance to even get their foot in the door. Marlee Matlin I hike and make sure everything I eat is organic. Janice Dickinson Five years ago, people were crying and feeling the Japanese were about to take over the Earth. I don't hear that kind of talk anymore. Jack Kilby Extraordinary allegations require extraordinary evidence. Lanc...

to move from aid to trade. We have picked several sectors that we think we can focus on immediately in order for us to grow our economy. So we have decided to diversify agriculture, we decided to develop our tourism sector, we have decided to develop our mining sector. Joyce Banda It's a pretty widely-accepted notion that the atmosphere is a ridiculously complex system, and the best we can do with our models is a rough approximation. Jamais Cascio Once you are dancing with the devil, the prettiest capers won't help you. E. T. A. Hoffmann I hate not giving the people what they want. Robin Thicke Please don't retouch my wrinkles.

Booboo Stewart The United States is like a big company, and we need a CEO to run it. David A. Siegel Even when I was playing, I never t...

you guys hate each other?' Like everyone has to be on one team. If you're a Selena Gomez fan, you can't be a Victoria Justice fan. We're both half-Latin, and people put us in the same category. Victoria Justice I don't take me seriously. If we get some giggles, I don't mind. Paul McCartney But I didn't ask to have somebody nose around in my private life. I didn't even ask to be famous. All I asked was to be able to earn a living making people laugh. Carol Burnett I find humans tremendously interesting. David Brin Comparing in the past years, Tamyra Gray and everyone else that didn't win but their careers are doing well. LaToya London It is impossible to talk or to write without apparently throwing oneself helplessly open.

Ralph Bakshi I...

book it gets so dark and Harry's always cross and then every time Luna comes in all the tension goes and she makes you laugh because she's so funny and really honest. I don't know how much I'm like her, there are some similarities but I'm more determined than her. Evanna Lynch I would say I spend about an hour a day cleansing and moisturising after all of the make-up I've worn on jobs, and on weekends I tend to go bare-faced to give my skin a bit of a break. Poppy Delevingne If you asked me if I'd rather be Speaker or a very senior minister, I'd say Speaker. John Bercow My success is not due to any personal superiority over other people. John Philip Sousa Bluster, sputter, question, cavil; but be sure your argument be intricate enough to confound the court. William Wycherley Scotland is the best place in the whole world. Gail Porter There's only one Mark McGwire. The man walked over 160 times. Just think. If he walks 60 times, he mi...

crisis. We bear a substantial share of the responsibility for what has happened, but factors that made the crisis so acute and so difficult to contain lie in a broader set of global forces that built up in the years before the start of our current troubles. Timothy Geithner The labels are in a jam. For a company to do well in music now, it's got to be in all aspects of the business. And Live Nation is the risk-taker. It's leading the charge. Guy Oseary Skin is made in large measure of a protein called collagen. Michael Behe Obama's explanation for the slowdown in economic growth is that the public sector is hurting, and that's where Washington must step in and act. John Podhoretz Hey, man, I toss a stick for a living. Gotta spice up that deal, y'know. Gotta stand out. Breaux Greer I went to India, lived, and studied. Rick James The confidence is there, the game is there, but physically you can't fight nature sometimes. You can't do much abo...

to invest in something real, you gotta invest in anything that's related to a natural resource because that's gonna be here forever - so you might as well invest in something that's gonna be here, rather than invest in something that's gonna wear out. Akon You see a moral in them? Do we have morals? Joel Coen The library is seen as a force for self improvement and the pursuit of knowledge.

Mark Zuckerberg One of the basic things about a string is t...

born and you live your life with it and you die with it. I'm very much an American - my books tend to be about American things, but inside there's that sort of tortured, long-suffering, aching, constantly analysing Russian soul underneath the happy American exterior. Paullina Simons Did Superman really want to save the world, or did he just feel like he had to? Would he much rather be a farmer? Maybe. Would he much rather be hanging out with his dad and his mom and his dog? Probably. Gerard Way Anxiety, it just stops your life. Amanda Seyfried I'd much rather do an obviously commercial writing project than get a day job. Poppy Z. Brite Thank God my parents had an abundance of patience.

Marcia Angell Make them laugh, make them cry, and hack to laughter. What do people go to the theatre for? An emotional exercise. I am a servant of the people. I have never forgotten that.

Gertrude Stein When I was nearly twelve years old, my kind mistress sickened and died.

the law there is no social justice. Everybody can be subjected to harm. I'm just a citizen: my life is equal in value to any other. But I'm thankful that when I lost my freedom so many people shared feelings and put such touching effort into helping me. Ai Weiwei When it kind of went to 'Street Fighter', where you had to push 13 buttons with all 13 of your fingers and ripped the spine out of somebody, you know, violent games lost the women. Complexity lost the casual gamer. Nolan Bushnell But I do believe in the paranormal, that there are things our brains just can't understand. Art Bell I'm not making films just to be bold. Yash Chopra In 1984, I turned to theater in the hopes of finding a more direct form of communication between me and my people. Cherrie Moraga Along with our friends in the GCC, the first order of business is stability. Beyond the imperative of stability, the most important priority is job creation for all Bahrainis. Hamad bin Isa A...

that you simply can't put into a spreadsheet. Spreadsheets spit out results from your inexact assumptions and give you a false sense of security. In most cases, your heart and gut are still your best guide. Naveen Jain A tall, thin old man waving a scorecard from the corner of his dugout. That's baseball. Ernie Harwell I want all my books to provoke some kind of response in the reader, to make them think something or feel something or both, and for that to become a part of them and work into their own lives. Linda Sue Park I'm in between homes right now, but my last house was dope. Method Man What the Beatles did was something incredible, it was more than what a band could do. We have to give them respect. Yoko Ono I've always been asked, 'What is my favorite car?' and I've always said 'The next one.' Carroll Shelby I'm marriable. But I'm not married. Rachel Weisz If I paint something, I don't want to have to explain what it...

York?' That being said, I'm older and I have a better worldview now, and so I think I grew up in an incredibly privileged position. The town I grew up in is beautiful. I got a great education, and I'm very grateful for it. Anne Hathaway Everywhere that the struggle for national freedom has triumphed, once the authorities agreed, there were military coups d'etat that overthrew their leaders. That is the result time and time again. Ahmed Ben Bella There are a lot of people who get support from a thriving business. Steve Madden To have a very strong opinion all the time is corrosive to a person's intellect. It becomes your default position. Denise Mina I was naturally skinny and had braces, so I wasn't a cute model. Amanda Seyfried Nothing can be more hurtful to the service, than the neglect of discipline; for that discipline, more than numbers, gives one army the superiority over another. George Washington The 'science' for which the United Sta...

more than a bare living. There have been a few who have groaned their way through to a competence, but in proportion to that overwhelming number of souls who carry cheer through life, they are as nothing - mere drops in the bucket. Douglas Fairbanks Chart positions are for people with manbags who get to work at 11 A.M. because they've been at a digital meeting. Noel Gallagher Surprises can be compelling.

Even if I don't have a cherry. Halle Berry There is one thing women can never take away from men. We die sooner. P. J. O'Rourke I like naps. I don't drink coffee. Spi...

need to get involved in enterprise sales. Everyone wants to speak to the founder, and this is also how you'll get feedback on your product. It's worth bringing in early somebody with enterprise sales experience. Anthony Goldbloom Good writing of course requires talent, and no one can teach you to have talent. Peter Carey The value of a currency is, ultimately, what someone will give you for it - whether in food, fuel, assets, or labor. And that's always and everywhere a subjective decision. James Surowiecki Josie needed more of a personality than what the cartoon had to offer. Rachael Leigh Cook I believe that if your primary motivation in life is to be moral, you don't become an artist. Mary Gordon The more of your private life you put into the public domain, the smaller your private life becomes. Kevin McCloud The most popular rap artists aren't supposed to be rapping about being broke. Danny Brown Obviously every one of them was special to that part...

the educational level is the same. But you just know when to use maybe and when to use perhaps. I think it's because of this: You get to know the tastes or musical tastes of words themselves, and this informs your choice, whether you use them or not. David Mitchell We moved in to help the Vietnamese defend their country and confront the Viet Cong. William Westmoreland The only way to grow is to challenge yourself. Ashley Tisdale My high school girlfriend would ask if I finally learned how to unbutton the back of a sweater! Breckin Meyer I guess I'm growing up in the film world. Devon Sawa If you can make a character likable that's not very nice, that's the challenge of the job. Zooey Deschanel I do some concerts.

security goals. If a suspect is proven to be a terrorist, for the sake of the victims and deterring any future attacks, he or she must be brought to justice. America has done this with Timothy McVeigh and hundreds of other terrorists. John Garamendi It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory. W. Edwards Deming I resent limitations. I'm going to be this way for a while. Fiona Apple I'm not just a cuckolded wife. Elizabeth Edwards When you're not concerned with succeeding, you can work with complete freedom. Larry David A big part of the Motown formula was, they took music and turned it into this sort of automotive assembly line. They were cranking out 10 songs a day in that studio, or more. Mayer Hawthorne I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, 'No, you just have anxiety.' Jessica Chastain I hope Obama gets scary in the next four years, 'cuz he ain't gotta worry about getting re-elected. Samuel L. Jackson Antioxidants have...

say, drenched with advice by friendly people who for years gave us the reasons why we did not succeed... All their advice, or at least some of it, might have been good if we had wanted to make money, to make a common place of amusement. Lady Gregory I feel very fortunate to be compared to somebody so incredible. Michael Jackson's an icon. Justin Timberlake Nothing's better than coming away from a film when people don't even recognize you, because you've undergone a total transformation. Warwick Davis Right now it seems like the girls are drawing more attention to country music. Miranda Lambert Love food and I love to eat.

standard of beauty. You have the right to practice any religion and politics in a way that best suits your freedom, your dignity, and your understanding. And once you do that, you don't apologize. John Henrik Clarke I have a little bit of an addiction to work. So I'm always hiding in the bathroom with my Blackberry to work when I'm on holiday. Penelope Cruz I write on a visual canvas, 'seeing' a scene in my thoughts before translating it into language, so I'm a visual junkie. Marianne Wiggins How most consumers collect and interpret health information has changed. James Heywood All created forms are fractal, as is their purpose, use, and allotted time for existence. Guy Finley There won't be editors in the future with the Internet world, with citizen reporting. That doesn't scare me. Matt Drudge Well yes, my son was bar mitzvahed last April, after I made this film. Jami Gertz There is no prospect that the United States will say to Israel, ...

that is something I learned from 'The Hobbit.' We are so used to 24 fps and the romance of celluloid... but at 48 fps, you cannot deny the existence of these CG creations in the same time frame and space and environment as the live action. Andy Serkis I'm going to be in technology for a long time. Eric Lefkofsky Hopefully my music is medicine, some type of antidote for something or some kind of explanation or just to feel good. Erykah Badu I always say, you never know how much your parents loved you until you have a child to love. Jennifer Hudson In golf, 'close' is like the north and south rim of the Grand Canyon. Johnny Miller She was deeply passionate about the sacred feminine. Dan Brown Once you climb to another level, you have to figure out how to sustain it. Mary J. Blige I don't really dress up for Halloween. Katharine McPhee I'm just paid to do whatever I want to do. Some of the time it's development, and some of the time it's...

if we were reasonably funny with each other, particularly my two brothers and myself, when my father was upset with something you'd want to make sure in some way you made him laugh. Because when he didn't laugh, you were in trouble! Leslie Nielsen Presented with a song like Exit Music, It's impossible to know what to add without actually making it worse. How can you play along when It's already there? Jonny Greenwood But I do believe this - I believe that fundamentally, society is headed in the right direction or wants to head in the right direction, and I think judges have an obligation to try to help it head there. Judge Mills Lane I think 'destiny' is just a fancy word for a psychological pattern. Jodie Foster I've made a lot of stupid action films in my life but I like stupid action films and am kind of proud of them.

gay, and I would certainly enjoy the tax advantages that straight people have, and the inheritance advantages, and things like Social Security, but I've always been a civil rights advocate across the board. That's how I was raised. Janis Ian I have to remind my dad, 'Journalists - no matter how many cigars they smoke with you - are not your friends, so don't talk to them.' Cameron Diaz Mr. Disney believed everyone was still a child deep inside. Annette Funicello It's a Cyprus of misery and soup kitchens and a state which cannot meet basic obligations. It can only cause me grief. Nicos Anastasiades I grew up going to museums. I was privileged to discover art and artists in a very personal way. Thelma Golden In the military, as in any organization, giving the order might be the easiest part. Execution is the real game.

sure this system goes back to its core purpose of taking the savings of Americans and from investors around the world and allocating those to people with an idea, not just the largest companies in the country, but to small businesses with an idea and a plan for growing. Timothy Geithner You retire when you are sick and when you can't do it any more or when the public retires you. That's the most painful, because that's the one that leaves you wanting to accomplish more. Julio Iglesias I want to be an artist, not... a celluloid aphrodisiac. Marilyn Monroe But I'm attracted to roles where I get to really go in and explore a character. Sheryl Lee It's funny; as I get older I'm reverting to my roots - I want to plant stuff.

I would not want to be prime minister of Australia at any price. Malcolm Turnbull My family is awesome. Miranda Lambert I get work because I'm primarily a novelist but I've become script doctor. I can work back and forth between French and English. Norman Spinrad If you're sick, take your sick day. If you don't take your sick day, know what your reward is? You weren't sick - that was the reward. Chris Christie Every situation has changed me as a person. David Beckham I choose roles that are not me. January Jones The problem with writing a book about bulimia is that whenever you go to the washroom, people think you're throwing up.

which to determine his legal capacity to make obligatory contracts. And his mental capacity to make reasonable contracts is certainly not to be determined by the fact that he is, or is not, twenty-one years of age. Lysander Spooner Sometimes, when you see the newspaper and you read something I said, you say, 'Oh, I can't believe he said that.' Chris Christie I'm a tenured professor. But I'd get rid of tenure. Francis Fukuyama Look at people for an example, but then make sure to do things your way. Surround yourself with positive people. Queen Latifah I've tested life and I've learned what works for me. Joe Namath A zeal for the defence of their country led these heroes to the scene of action, though with a few men to attack a powerful army of experienced warriors. Daniel Boone Some people seem to see compassion as being mushy. Laura Schlessinger Anyone afraid of what he thinks television does to the world is probably just afraid of the world. C...

much fun. Why couldn't we do these for other classic screenplays and bring them to life?
