us out of cycles of revenge and animosity. And so, as a journalist, he always found himself asking lots of questions and trying to gather information. He was always very clear to underscore the fact that Jewish people and Arab people were brother and sister. Naomi Shihab Nye I consider the process of gestation just as important as when you're actually sitting down putting words to the paper. Wole Soyinka There is such a suspicion in today's world of people who do more than one thing, who aren't specialized. Esa-Pekka Salonen I found that being online has opened a window for me to look into other people's lives... The greatest fear that I have is losing touch. Queen Rania of Jordan All Moroccans are justifiably proud of the development of democratic institutions in Morocco. Donald Evans He taught me literature, and he actually taught me how to read. He was my personal mentor. Shimon Peres Essentially, I'm a small-part actor who's been lucky enou

a beautiful song, but record execs didn't put it out as a single because it didn't sound like the R.E.M. we're used to. So I asked Michael Stipe if I could have the tapes to do a remix, and he agreed. Lukas Haas I'm not usually where I think I am. It's kind of spooky. Laurie Anderson Youngsters are the most discerning audience. They want entertainment, they want issues. Shah Rukh Khan The notion that the First Amendment has no limitations whatsoever is balderdash. Trey Gowdy I love television; I specifically love having a dumb character on a TV show. Bill Lawrence I love my songs, let's not get crazy here. Ronnie Spector I love and reverence the Word, the bearer of the spirit, the tool and gleaming ploughshare of progress. Thomas Mann I was always performing, doing silly voices. The teachers realized I could go one of two ways: be creative or destructive. Benedict Cumberbatch With a painter's temperament, all that's needed are the

life and require three thumbs to control. My goal is to create games that almost retreat into the background. I'm interested in bringing them back to their role as a social facilitator, the way party games help people to interact. Nolan Bushnell Some people around you don't mean you good. Trick Daddy I was a closet stutterer. John Stossel The majority is still at the General's disposal. Jared Sparks I'll be a host for life! Caroline Rhea You have to travel globally today to know what's going on and maintain an edge. Yuri Milner Auschwitz is a place in which tragedy cannot occur. Edward Bond I don't shy from controversy. I'm telling stories, and I'll tell whatever story seems like it wants to be told. Lauren Myracle Publishing is, by its nature, about deadlines, and deadlines are toxic. Jan Karon

hotel business, the hospitality business - he didn't differentiate between the waiter serving you dinner, from the maitre d from the guy who owns a restaurant. Everybody was the same to him. He didn't look at who you were. He didn't look at your wallet. Steve Tisch My knee feels good right now. I am definitely able to move about whichever way. Michael Chang If the program goes off track again due to recession, this should not become a pretext for the imposition of more austerity measures. Antonis Samaras It's really hard to be poor in New York - I was really poor when I lived in New York. Josh Radnor Depression is close to me, but suicide hasn't been. Claire Forlani Cobras are magical. They can stand up on just energy alone. Paz de la Huerta I always hustled to make money and pay for school. I was never afraid of hard work. Tom Freston Go to your business, pleasure, whilst I go to my pleasure, business. William Wycherley A lot of times they d

like a mushroom all the time. Someone said they're worried about their kids getting older and doing drugs, and I got this look of horror on my face and thought, 'What if my girls don't wear hats?' But at 13 months old, they could say 'hat.' Marcia Cross I have days where I feel like crap and I look at my body and I'm like, 'I haven't been able to work out as much. I can see my butt drooping a little bit.' And I'm just like, 'Oh well.' Stacy Keibler I'm mad in the front of my mind, but business-minded in the back. Alexander McQueen I know there is pain when sawmills close and people lose jobs, but we have to make a choice. We need water and we need these forests. Wangari Maathai I don't want to treat my fans like they are stupid. Kesha It find it funny how people from Boston and New York hate each other because of pro teams. Julian Casablancas Making a Christmas album is looked upon by some people as the thing

of inequality. The more democratic our societies have been, the more equal they have been becoming. Now we have the reverse tendency. The spread of democracy now is very much accompanied by the increase in inequality. Ivan Krastev I have a pretty good ear. Miranda Lambert We worked so hard we almost stopped enjoying it. Susanna Hoffs Combine that with the fact that we only had one week to get everything taken care of and to get to know one another, whereas most shows get two weeks. It looked like we would never have a chance. Tatyana Ali To get overprotective about particular readings of the Bible is always in danger of idolatry. N. T. Wright I never wish for critics. Jasper Johns We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam You want to know the way to raise money? Put a transaction fee on Wall Street, so maybe we can curb some of the speculation and raise some money. Bernie Sanders There are seven songs finished a

could ever be, but then you go home and you're still like, 'Urgh, this dress is too tight, I wanna take off these shoes and put on my pyjamas.' At the end of the night all the glamour goes away and you're just a human. Zooey Deschanel Surround yourself with people who take their work seriously, but not themselves, those who work hard and play hard. Colin Powell Speeches are not magic and there is no great speech without great policy. Peggy Noonan Once something becomes discernible, or understandable, we no longer need to repeat it. We can destroy it. Robert Anton Wilson I love doing impersonations of people. Benedict Cumberbatch I think they look upon me as an old child, because I'm so little. Estelle Getty Painting is a language which cannot be replaced by another language. I don't know what to say about what I paint, really. Balthus I suppose the place where I live is fairly remote, it would seem remote to some people. Daniel Day-Lewis

entire presidency and your entire economic platform on helping them do even better, you're missing what makes the economy tick. Because not everyone has been as fortunate as Mitt Romney, you cannot base your whole approach on a life experience as rarified as his. Chuck Schumer The more we shelter children from every disappointment, the more devastating future disappointments will be. Fred G. Gosman Without question, the single most important attribute of a successful entrepreneur is integrity. And that's not some philosophical or theoretical malarkey; it's hard-nosed fact. David S. Rose I realized it wasn't necessary to work in the traditional methods of carving and casting. Martin Puryear But time has set its maggot on their track. Dylan Thomas When someone asks if you'd like cake or pie, why not say you want cake and pie? Lisa Loeb Many poor and low-income women cannot afford to purchase contraceptive services and supplies on their own. Louise S

the message that I've been taking is that New Zealand is building an up market dynamic into a connected economy. And that we are not the old-fashioned, ship mutton kind of product the people associate their export in work. Helen Clark I just wanted to see every single musical I could. The very first one I saw was 'Beauty and the Beast,' the only one I could get tickets for, and then 'Les Miserables' and then 'Chicago.' America Ferrera Did they preach one thing and practice another, these men of God? Roald Dahl Next to a sincere compliment, I think I like a well-deserved and honest rebuke. William Feather I thought I was the coolest kid in the world, so I wound up being the coolest kid in the world. Jeremy Sumpter I have my fashion empire to build. Ozwald Boateng Doing the stereotypical solo bores me. Adam Jones There are no training courses to make people bishops. You have to learn on the job. Peter Hollingworth It is obvious that any

believe they could go on private jets and be hanging out in Hollywood, but as a show, comedically, it was not funny. Not a funny show. It's funny, ironically, because of how terrible it is. Adam Pally Music has done a lot to enhance the emotions of sports. It's played in arenas. Whenever there is footage cut together they're always using music. And it goes together, you know. Ice Cube As entrepreneurs, we must constantly dream and have the conviction and obsession to transform our dreams into reality - to create a future that never existed before. Clara Shih At age 10 or 12 he's going to boarding school in the Isle of Wight. The Isle of Wight is, of course, down at the bottom of England just off South Hampton. Jeremy Irons My parents dreaded the fact that I was changing my life to do this, but I just kept doing it. Jason Mraz If it's not American, the French won't go see it. Norman Spinrad You're in the business - when you're a writer,

and are uniquely able to provide the resources to make sure solutions reach everyone who needs them. They also fund basic research, which is a crucial component of the innovation that improves life for everyone. Bill Gates When you see someone you love with somebody else, your heart kind of falls to the ground. Ashlee Simpson No, I want my kids to be Tiger Woods. And Serena Williams. I dig those two. Junior Seau There is a strong tendency to get used to and accept very bad things that would be shocking if seen with fresh eyes. Ray Dalio It's a once-in-a-lifetime event for all of us, something like this. Berenice Bejo If God had not intended that Women shou'd use their Reason, He wou'd not have given them any, 'for He does nothing in vain.' Mary Astell Am I a 'woman of action'? I don't think of myself that way. Kathryn Bigelow There's a great difference between being popular and being an artist. Shirley Knight Ali and I have be

I say, look, I know what the journalism teachers tell you that this is a great way to perform public service and all that, but I say the main reason, if you decide what you want to do is be a reporter, the main reason you want to do it is because it's just so much fun. Bob Schieffer I think that all areas of the budget have to be scrubbed. Clearly the entitlement issues have to be reformed and that's an issue that's going to require I think some strong bipartisan cooperation and leadership. John Thune Occasions do not make a man either strong or weak but they show what he is. Thomas a Kempis I've been known to throw watermelons, backstage, at people who are giving me news I don't want to hear. But I never aim for the head. Tori Amos I might have some Danish lessons sometimes. Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark Democracy needs support, and the best support for democracy comes from other democracies. Benazir Bhutto Who knows but that England may revive

of 'old hat.' Of 'been there, done that.' Space shuttles, space stations, communications satellites, GPS - they're all part of our everyday, taken-for-granted world in 2009, not part of an incredible odyssey. David Weber People profess to have certain political positions, but their conservatism or liberalism is really the least interesting thing about them. Zadie Smith When people are entering a high-stress period, they don't sleep and don't exercise, but in fact, it should be just the opposite. Jim Loehr I've been a much happier person in my early thirties than I was in my twenties. Jake Shears You have to be able to wake up in the morning and say, 'I've been true.' Charles Gwathmey There's a lot of crappy music that people like, you know, all over the world, and Norway is definitely not an exception. Sondre Lerche I definitely enjoy getting to know people I find inspiring. Spike Jonze My parents divorced when I was

places into which we pour the vast majority of resources, the vast majority of energy and the places where a huge percentage of the decisions about how systems are built and how products designed, etc., happen. Alex Steffen I never get hung up on the past - the memories are too negative. Brigitte Bardot To be admitted to Nature's hearth costs nothing. None is excluded, but excludes himself. You have only to push aside the curtain. Henry David Thoreau Every time I see a good play or watch a good movie, I have the same feeling I had as a child of wanting to be that person on stage or wanting to run through the forest with a big dress on. Elizabeth Debicki My mother's a secretary; my father's an electrician in a mining company. Eva Herzigova It's not about an opening weekend. It's about a career, building a set of films you're proud of. Period. George Clooney Mick says, Would you join the band? I say to him, Mick, you know I'd be there in a Ne

they don't like things, particularly when they get into this sort of culture box, you find out that they're not liking things because of what people are going to think about them, and not because of what the things actually sound like. Stew I trust no one, not even myself. Joseph Stalin Often doctors didn't even tell you what was wrong with you. They just treated you, and sent you home. Rebecca Skloot My focus is on my constituents. Randy Hultgren The problem is, women have stopped setting the bar high. Steve Harvey On the other hand, the American public possesses a great resilience and strength, and good risk communication strategies can tap into and even amplify those assets. Patrick J. Kennedy I think I've begun to take for granted how easily information can swirl around me. Sean Astin If your mother cooks Italian food, why should you go to a restaurant? Martin Scorsese I really don't mind dying because I figure I haven't wasted this l

Felix and learn the secrets and rules of time travel, where they will encounter some of these famous and forgotten people. In Book 1, Clara Barton, then Alexander Hamilton, Pearl Buck, Harry Houdini, and on and on. Ann Hood Never, ever deal with terrorists. Hunt them down and, more important, mercilessly punish those states and groups that fund, arm, support, or simply allow their territories to be used by the terrorists with impunity. Meir Kahane I was built up from my dad more than anyone else. John Wooden Yes, I've never inherited a penny! William Hague I'm not a hockey fan, which is probably why I had to leave Canada in the first place. Ryan Reynolds Life is very short and what we have to do must be done in the now. Audre Lorde Our journey has taken 21 players but our goal is still the same, to win the World Cup. Heather O'Reilly In the end, there's something of the puritan work ethic about me that roles really must sustain me on an intellectual

sport, a real problem at an English prep school. So the way to get round it was to become the school joker, which I did quite effectively - I was always fooling around to make the people who would otherwise dump me in the loo laugh. Alain de Botton The kind of music or the kind of arrangements that I do, the kind of musicians I choose, is just what I like to hear. Erykah Badu Bullying is killing our kids. Being different is killing our kids and the kids who are bullying are dying inside. We have to save our kids whether they are bullied or they are bullying. They are all in pain. Cat Cora It seems to be part of the human condition to need someone you can look down on. I still don't get that one. Janis Ian Kids love watching adults act like children. It's that spirit they can relate to. James Roday You're looking at an actor whose price has just doubled. Art Carney I'll always have a baby face. Tracey Gold Well, I'm a light traveller. I chuck thi

really about feeling good and taking care of my body rather than having to fit into any sort of model or anything like that. I try to eat well, and everything I do is really just to make me feel my best so that I can come to my job or my personal life and just feel really good. Lea Michele I do watch what I eat but I've got a real sweet tooth. Jessica Ennis I want a platform that, like a book or a magazine, I can carry into the bath or leave at the beach. Walter Jon Williams It's my personal opinion, and I'm not espousing it to anybody else, I think your immune system and how healthy you are determines how you react to any excess of any kind. George Hamilton I'm a collecting maniac and I buy a lot of books and records. I have over thousand cds. Ville Valo I do always like to do things I haven't done before, so I'm always looking out for things in a different genre, or a different sort of character. Jim Broadbent Style is a very personal thing a

a sport as opposed to going to a gym. I'm not big on gyms. When I did 'Rampart,' I lost 30 pounds because I felt it was better for the character. I worked out constantly, maybe twice a day, and minimized caloric intake. Woody Harrelson I loved my childhood. They had the coolest toys back then. Star Wars, Transformers, laser-tag gun sets. Toy companies have really gone downhill. Jon Heder The oldest theory of art belongs to the Greeks, who regarded art as an imitation (mimesis) of reality. The strength of that theory is that it explains the way in which art takes its materials from real life. Leland Ryken I don't get wrapped up in technique and the like. Fay Godwin I think we need to start thinking about grounding our moral systems in our biology. Frans de Waal I have gone to Albany constantly in my capacity as budget director, because I don't think the way the transit authority works with the City of New York is very appropriate. Joseph J. Lhota It

more leisure, more opportunity to engage in raising a family, providing guidance to the young, all the stuff we say we need. America will work if we're all in it together. It'll work when there's a shared sense of destiny. It can be done! Jerry Brown When you put gas in your car you are making a political statement, because you are supporting the empires that control and continue the destruction of some countries. Javier Bardem The condition of being an actress can be unbearable. Julie Delpy The question of the family now divides our society so deeply that the opposing sides cannot even agree on a definition of the institution they are arguing about. Christopher Lasch Food tells you everything about the way people live and who they are. Martin Scorsese I would agree that President Carter didn't live up to the expectation we all had when he came in 1976. My husband and I were young idealists who worked on his campaign. Michele Bachmann Nothing's rea

4, they are told it's reserved for 'the faith community,' whatever that is. Yet 'TfT' is almost always pabulum about how God wants us all to love each other and care for the unfortunate. I'm sure humanists would say much the same, without God. Simon Hoggart I'm obsessed with Nicholas Sparks. I've literally read every single book, because every time I travel, at the airport, I always buy a new Nicholas Sparks book. Emma Roberts Let us begin by committing ourselves to the truth to see it like it is, and tell it like it is, to find the truth, to speak the truth, and to live the truth. Richard M. Nixon I sing in key, thank you very much. Burton Cummings Listen - pacemaker, crash, stroke. What does it mean? God doesn't want me now. That's all. Kirk Douglas Bernstein grew up in my building in New York. He's a very, very fine player. When he was a kid, he came by to find out what was going on in the world of jazz. Lee Konitz I like

character role. Why can't they make a movie about a woman who's forty-five who's falling in love or getting divorced? Why does the leading role always have to be a woman who's twenty-three or twenty-eight? Melanie Griffith I'm actually forced to write about Michigan because as a native of that state it's the place I know best. Jim Harrison Today, it is research with human embryonic stem cells and attempts to prepare cloned stem cells for research and medical therapies that are being disavowed as being ethically unacceptable. Paul Berg I've had a lot of books rejected in my time. My first novel, which didn't get published, was, with hindsight, crashingly dull. Helen Fielding There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of the law and in the name of justice. Charles de Secondat Tony Stark in 'Iron Man' helped wider audiences finally embrace the enormous talent of Robert Downey Jr. Tom Hiddleston I

less what people are going to think of it. Your whole life is wound up in it but you don't have control and you have to get used to being on that turbulent plane without trying to fly it. The less you think about all that the better. Mike Mills In Turkey, you're not allowed to be left alone in the hospital. The nurse teaches the family how to do things, and somebody is always there with the patient. Mehmet Oz I have big ideas. If you don't like them, don't vote for me. Terry McAuliffe I mean, they're threatening - my career is over. You know, everything I've worked so hard. I've worked extremely hard since about 17 years old, you know, as a White House intern on up. Andrea Mackris If I physically made every work myself, I would get only one or two paintings done a year, if that. Jeff Koons People underestimate the hip-hop audience and the capacity to understand politics when it's part of music. Michael Franti I guess I need a hobby. Cur

to be an 'intellectual.' When I was first looking around for colleges, thinking of colleges I couldn't afford to go to, I was thinking of being a philosopher. I began to understand then that much of my feelings about race were negative. Walter Dean Myers The music is in the lead here, and a large part of this, I have no idea what I'm doing. I feel a closer bond with the craft of songwriting, stronger than I ever have. Ben Harper I am trying to be guided by my passion. America Ferrera It sounds trite, but I like telling stories. Rebecca Hall I may be kindly, I am ordinarily gentle, but in my line of business I am obliged to will terribly what I will at all. Catherine the Great Bigger is always better. Adam Savage When you try to avoid the pain, it creates greater pain. Jennifer Aniston One of the pleasures of looking at the world through mathematical eyes is that you can see certain patterns that would otherwise be hidden. Steven Strogatz If you h

have worked with people - both men and women - who are not what most would consider conventionally attractive, but who exude such a magnetism about them that people are compelled to watch them on stage or screen. Amanda Schull Accessible design is good design. Steve Ballmer Indeed, the woes of Software Engineering are not due to lack of tools, or proper management, but largely due to lack of sufficient technical competence. Niklaus Wirth I grew up in Columbus, Indiana, a kind of industrial and farmland place. Stephen Sprouse 'Blade Runner' is one of my favorite films. J. H. Wyman Cable news is more titillating to talk about who's up and who's down and all that nonsense as opposed to what's actually done. Kal Penn I believe you should give 100% on the court, so I chase every ball. Andy Murray I'm a woman who carries around all these layers of fear and vulnerability. Teri Hatcher I'm always reading and looking around for the next thing.

was a kid. I wanted to just build the sets, but I wasn't allowed to just build the sets unless I auditioned for the play. So I auditioned for the play and was thrown into the chorus. During the course of that I fell in love with it, and I never really turned back. Michael Stuhlbarg I would probably work with Drake as he is massively inspirational to me as a writer as well as an artist. If not him, then Susan Boyle! Conor Maynard We learned in World War II that no single nation holds a monopoly on wisdom, morality or right to power, but that we must fight for the weak and promote democracy. Joe Baca Science is knowledge arranged and classified according to truth, facts, and the general laws of nature. Luther Burbank I was never any good in the school theatrical productions. I always got a role like the March Hare. Jacqueline Bisset I think, as a woman, you do sort of have to work twice as hard, but I don't feel as if I wasn't given opportunities. Lorene Scafa

tells you what to drink and why the '97 is better than the '98. I want to punch the wine bully in the face. I want to make sure this generation of wine drinkers isn't elitist and snotty. I want it to be about family and bringing people together. Gary Vaynerchuk I'm very manipulative towards directors. My theory is that everyone on the set is directing the film, we're all receiving art messages from the universe on how we should do the film. Jeff Bridges I'm lucky to have been able to represent different companies over my career. Tiger Woods Faith, there hath been many great men that have flattered the people who ne'er loved them. William Shakespeare I have always been fascinated by the corruption of power. Joe Eszterhas God may not play dice with the universe, but something strange is going on with the prime numbers. Paul Erdos I've never sexually harassed anyone, and yes, I was falsely accused while I was at the National Restaurant Ass

mother was like, 'No, you're going to be normal, you're going to go to school, you're going to get good grades, you're going to play soccer, and if you do well, if you keep your grades up, you can do one community-theater show a year.' Laura Benanti I love to promote our sport. I love grass-roots tennis. I love coaching. I love all parts of the sport. I love the business side. Billie Jean King Since I couldn't actuate the things that I wanted to do, the only weapon I had was to say no. Sidney Poitier I know how to look after myself. Leona Lewis People expect me to be that guy. But I'm more east London boy than east Baltimore. Idris Elba I learned quite early on in life that we are all two people. And one of those people none of us will ever know. Helen Mirren I don't care if you're gay, black, Chinese, straight. That means nothing to me. It's all an illusion. Joe Rogan Teachers need to be comfortable talking about feeling

of applying to their work or actions, but it feels like I knew I was going to be famous and I knew that an element of that would be traumatic, so that if I could make myself something big and otherworldly, it would be a kind of defence. Russell Brand Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony. Thomas Merton My feeling about fears is, if you voice your fears, they may come true. I'm superstitious enough to believe that. Meryl Streep I want all of my films to belong to me. Alexander Payne Discipline yourself, and others won't need to. John Wooden I'm very close with Bob and his lovely, fabulous wife Catherine, too. Sally Kellerman I definitely have had friendships and moments with people from different backgrounds and in different stages of their lives. Sofia Coppola The thought is a deed. Of all deeds she fertilizes the world most. Emile Zola I was seldom able to see an opportunity until it had ceased to be one.

traditionally has been usually you sell to the customer and then they adopt the technology. The great thing about 'freemium' and the new way enterprise software is being sold is you get to try it first and then buy it. Aaron Levie I wasn't planning on being a comedian; I just liked to laugh. Somebody said I should do it and that's how I started. Jamie Kennedy I don't know about you, but I can tell when someone's lying. They can't look you in the eye - they look you in the bridge of your nose. Michael Musto Don't try to dress like me or wear your hair like mine. Find your own style. Salma Hayek When I read the script, I was like, Hello, woman in a box. I had to explore that to the end. Sherilyn Fenn The papers, you know, they're always gonna just make stuff up. They think it's in the public interest. Jake Bugg I'm cool with failing so long as I know that there are people around me that love me unconditionally. Dave Chappelle

of people. I like being alone. I like eating by myself. I go home at night and just watch a movie or hang out with my dog. I have to exert myself and really say, oh God, I've got to see my friends 'cause I'm too content being by myself. Drew Barrymore To be a novelist, all I need is a pen and a piece of paper. Quentin Tarantino I've been busy for years, buying land, often under pseudonyms, and planting trees on it. All the money is going into it when I die - and in the end I'd like to think that it will be 20 to 30,000 acres. Felix Dennis One of the most important things for an actor is to observe humanity. Carla Gugino I did a pilot for Anything But Love in 1988 that didn't sell. Kathryn Bigelow Since declaring that she would not serve in a second Obama administration, Clinton has dismissed suggestions that she will run in 2016. Ron Fournier The overintellectualization of surrealism can be a bromide. A dream interpreted is a deflated dream. G

need to 'go green.' Al Gore and countless other prophets of global catastrophe are making megamillions pushing these expensive solutions. Schoolchildren around the globe are being frightened by tales of impending calamity. Bradley A. Smith Nothing that we have authorized conflicts with any law regarding privacy or any provision of the constitution. John Ashcroft I set forth a humble and inglorious life; that does not matter. You can tie up all moral philosophy with a common and private life just as well as with a life of richer stuff. Each man bears the entire form of man's estate. Michel de Montaigne I love the long-form format of television. I love being able to develop a character, over a long period of time. Anson Mount It's true, I've become one of those grumpy older women. Penelope Wilton The worst thing you can do to a child, and I've seen it happen so many times, is the silver spoon. Elton John I hope I am not too repetitive. However, c

act. I didn't understand the language of the studio. You sing differently in a studio. The language, the craft - it's just a whole different deal. I avoided the problem on my first record by doing a live album. Jewel Adversity is a stimulus. James Broughton I do send out information about my books. Very few people buy the books that way, but I always feel that if they want to know more about the process, they can get the information from my books. Richard Curtis Just because I'm undersized and under-this and under-that, I've still been a good football player since I was little. Wes Welker With my talent, I can make people laugh and give them another attitude about life. What a blessing that is for me. Doris Roberts I'm from Sweden. We don't wear clothes in Sweden. Alexander Skarsgard I'm black because that's the way the world sees me. Paula Patton I always knew that food and wine were vital, with my mother being Italian and a good co

that questions the fact that if we ended up getting in a situation where the U.S. government was sending out IOUs like the state of California did at one point, that ends up creating quite a brand problem for our country. Bob Corker I'd been shouting and shouting and no-one wanted to hear me. Brenda Fassie We are more closely connected to the invisible than to the visible. Novalis I work hard but I play hard. Kenny Chesney It's not a bargain if it has bedbugs. Lara Spencer I want to play Lena Horne because I've always been fascinated with her. Her talent was astounding and more than that, her life story is incredible. Naya Rivera I'm this overachiever type, I'll just work and work and I'll just do it over and over and over again. Venus Williams When I finally decided to do the show, I only had two weeks to learn the choreography and the songs in French. LaToya Jackson What we know is that Shakespeare wrote perhaps the most remarkable body

you audition, you're in a room and you don't have anything to play with and you don't have anything physically in the room. Whereas on set, you have direction, you have costumes, and you have other actors to work with. It's a completely different thing. Adelaide Kane I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. Jiddu Krishnamurti Let's take a timeout. Let's allow investors the opportunity in a period of market calm to re-examine what's happened and to deploy new strategies into the marketplace. Richard Grasso I'm always happier and a better actor when I can really lose myself in a character and become somebody else. Kevin Bacon Most painters want recognition, especially by their peers. Bob Ross I am such a Pacific Northwest girl. Kristin Hannah We spend too much time fretting over the way the industry produces programming, and too little worrying about the wa

decade, with two and a half dollars of spending reductions for every one dollar of revenue increases, and tight controls on future spending. It's the kind of balanced approach proposed by the bipartisan Simpson-Bowles commission. William J. Clinton Every time that I wanted to give up, if I saw an interesting textile, print what ever, suddenly I would see a collection. Anna Sui 'Saturday Night Fever,' Paula Abdul, 'Fame,' Debbie Allen... all affected me and the generation before me. Laurieann Gibson When all candles be out, all cats be grey. John Heywood An actor's most important responsibility is to know lines well. Harry Morgan I am woman, hear me roar, in numbers too big to ignore, and I know too much to go back and pretend. Helen Reddy The main purpose of science is simplicity and as we understand more things, everything is becoming simpler. Edward Teller I have this desire to keep improving, so I find fault. Heston Blumenthal I have a

old school. And men such as Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Charlie Sheen no doubt look at Berlusconi and think, 'Role model!' Women, of course, know otherwise. They see him as an aging, pathetic buffoon. Graydon Carter I say to people today, 'You must be prepared if you believe in something. If you believe in something, you have to go for it. As individuals, we may not live to see the end.' John Lewis Work is important to me. I want to do things for principle, not just for the sake of doing them. Tracey Ullman You can't come out on a record dissing the system and be on a label that's connected to the system. Ice T One of the things I have become aware of through the years is how much I love the people I write about. Hubert Selby, Jr. I didn't long to be a designer. I always liked fashion, but it was always a bit sleeping in me. Carolina Herrera We don't believe other people's experiences can tell us all that much

they do well. There's a reason Apple doesn't make blenders. There's a reason Haagen-Dazs doesn't sell meat. And there's a reason drug companies should focus on saving and improving lives - not jeopardizing them. Jeffrey Kluger I think there's a good kid underneath everybody. I really do. Maury Povich In the luxury business, you have to build on heritage. Bernard Arnault Suddenly I had a contract and I was earning lots of money. Diane Cilento My son is very into music and really familiar with my voice. Jennifer Hudson I was spoiled by Monk's music because it was so good, so complete. Steve Lacy I use Spanish dancing as a way to exercise. I've done that for my whole life. Sofia Vergara I think that everyone should be able to dribble. Everyone should be able to pass. Otherwise, why are you out there? Oscar Robertson When you have a family, or even when you're just seeing a girl, it's difficult to be skint. Bill Nighy

feel joy and love, pain and fear, as we now know beyond any shadow of a doubt. All deserve that the human animal afford them the respect of being cared for with great consideration for those interests or left in peace. Ingrid Newkirk And if you think that anybody is going to frighten me, you don't know me yet. Billy Sunday Having no diplomatic representation in Washington, China has no sources which allow her to check the character of applicants and therefore makes the practice of refusing everybody from the United States. Anna Louise Strong If I can create something that allows a woman to feel better - that is the true reward. Maria Sharapova I have a painting where somebody's holding a chicken, and underneath the chicken is somebody's head. Jean-Michel Basquiat Most people who went about saying a ghost had poked them with a brolly would be locked up somewhere. Pamela Stephenson I don't think his life has been in any way disfigured by the film. The fi

think you have to pick your own God and be true to him. I always say 'him' rather than 'her.' Maybe it's because of my generation, but I don't like the idea of a female God. I see God as a benevolent male. Julia Child It was in that bubble after Vatican II when it seemed like the best time ever to grow up Catholic. It was a time when the church was so connected to the world. Rob Sheffield Growth, in some curious way, I suspect, depends on being always in motion just a little bit, one way or another. Norman Mailer Far more thought and care go into the composition of any prominent ad in a newspaper or magazine than go into the writing of their features and editorials. Marshall McLuhan If you wait for inspiration you'll be standing on the corner after the parade is a mile down the street. Ben Nicholas Honest people, mistakenly believing in the justice of their cause, are led to support injustice. Elihu Root We will not rest until we see the su

of saving by the population. It's complicated, but if the population doesn't save, the economy will not tend to export as much, and if it doesn't export as much, it won't manufacture enough. Evan Davis I remember, as a young architect, people always talked about I. M. Pei's concrete. He had a particular specification no one else knew. Annabelle Selldorf I'd love to work across all three fields - theatre, film and TV. Jenna-Louise Coleman Any time you got nothing to do - and lots of time to do it - come on up. Mae West My definition of courage is never letting anyone define you. Jenna Jameson I want people to start thinking about what it means to be HIV-positive and to ask questions about that. Annie Lennox You can't trust anybody with power. Newt Gingrich Hollywood large is so different than real-life large. Jordin Sparks When people are wrong, you've got to let them know it. Orlando Cepeda

powerful enough. It may activate your left brain, which says, 'I have achieved,' but it will not activate your more social right brain, which desperately desires to say, 'Look, Ma, I did it!' Brendon Burchard My background is in musical comedy. I didn't know I was going to be an actor. But all my points of reference have to do with musical comedy and in being kind of a showoff. Christopher Walken The thing is, you choose to be an actress, but not to be a celebrity. Rachel Weisz Songs are life in 80 words or less. Neil Diamond Tiny Tim? Anyone could sing like that. It's atrocious. It's hideous, really. Maurice Gibb The sense of smell in all dogs is their primary doorway to the world around them. Robert Crais As soon as you get over caring what people think, you can have a nice time. Lara Flynn Boyle God did not give you the spirit of cowardice. Joseph Barber Lightfoot The worst situation you can have in a thriller is a lead who looks l

in economics. The welfare principle forms the fundamental basis of all charitable work in churches and other private organizations: assist those who need help, and equally important, don't assist individuals who can take care of themselves. Mark Skousen Again, as egotistical as I am, as self-centered as I am, and as much as I love strangers idolizing me, I find it very crass to be self-promoter in a way. John Larroquette I don't speak Spanish. I've done Spanish 1 and 2 classes. My grandma asked me when I was young if I wanted to learn Spanish, and I guess I was young. I should have, because it would have helped me a lot. Scotty McCreery For too long people have backed companies on hope value rather than solid products coming out. Now we are coming out the other side. Daniel Morgan The lake at Neverland is right in the very front, and you just want to dive in. Rick Dees Kate Moss is small and not necessarily model dimensions but she has that special something.

three, fall into the 'historic fiction' category. Science fiction is not a favorite genre of mine, though I have greatly enjoyed some of the work of Ursula LeGuin. I haven't read much science fiction so I don't know other sci-fi authors. Lois Lowry I was the first spokesperson for the Better Hearing Institute in Washington. And that's the message we tried to send out - there is hearing help out there, and the technology and options are amazing. Norm Crosby I've always enjoyed interleague play. It gives you a chance to see different clubs, to go to different places. It gives you a good chance to see where you are, where you stand with other teams. Jim Thome You try to stay within the rules for the sake of the game, but you can always turn up the intensity. Lawrence Taylor My brother and I always had jobs and worked from a young age. Thomas Kinkade Look at television and how comparatively few minorities are out there. Gedde Watanabe I started out

would say yes. There's a significant misunderstanding on the debt ceiling. People think it's authorizing new spending. The debt ceiling doesn't authorize new spending; it allows us to pay obligations already incurred. Peter Welch I think possibly the first film that has music as its leading character. Peter Shaffer The Westoxified Pakistanis have been selling their souls and killing their own people for a few million dollars. Imran Khan Well, if I am not vulgar, neither is my book. I wrote myself. Suggestiveness is always vulgar. But truth never. My book is not even remotely suggestive. I call things by their names. That is all. Mary MacLane Mark Conseulos is so amazing. Lily Rabe Often it is important to listen to what people aren't saying. Peter L. Bergen I think I have a degree of confidence, but I also have terrible insecurity, like anybody does. Ben Whishaw You have to create your life. You have to carve it, like a sculpture. William Shatner

way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. Steve Jobs I'm going to have fans and I'm going to have people who don't like everything I do. All I can really do is go to work and do my job. Jessica Szohr I have a fear of doing stuff that's not very good and being remembered for that. Tim Rice You know, I've got wrinkles on my forehead and smile lines, but what's wrong with that? I love to smile. Jennifer Aniston It's true that, in Iran, women have half of the rights men do. And yet 66 per cent of students are women. Marjane Satrapi A life coach does for the rest of your life what a personal trainer does for your health and fitness. Elaine MacDonald Valor is common but great souls are rare. Bernard Joseph Saurin What's powerfu

you're laying off school teachers and you're de-funding various programs that put money into the economy. This means you have more unemployed people that then draw unemployment benefits and don't pay taxes. Fareed Zakaria The idea of telling a story in reverse destabilises your ordinary moral reactions. That's one of the points of art - to challenge your preconceptions. Vincent Cassel In tennis, you strike a ball just after the rebound for the fastest return. It's the same with investment. Masayoshi Son All issues of crime are better addressed at the state level. Rand Paul I'll be left writing picture books and fairy tales. Carol Ann Duffy We have tried you good people of the public and we have found you wanting. Rose Schneiderman When I wrote 'Green, Green,' it was like a really a statement of where I was at philosophically in my life. Barry McGuire My dad was rubbish at all other aspects of his financial life, but he's pretty g

of ways. The casting, the choice of location, the costumes and make-up, the actors' reading of a line or emphasis of a word, the choice of lens and the pace of the cutting - these are all part of the translation. David Nicholls Although Omaha is my birthplace and the place I grew up, I don't see myself spending extended amounts of time there. I feel almost more comfortable and more at peace in New York. Conor Oberst A boy's appetite grows very fast, and in a few moments the queer, empty feeling had become hunger, and the hunger grew bigger and bigger, until soon he was as ravenous as a bear. Carlo Collodi The problem is that it takes physicians so long to accept a radical change. And the lag is unacceptable. Eric Topol In fact, we have a choice of freedom of heart to follow God. Victoria Osteen Every other day there's something - I'm dealing drugs, I'm starving people. I have never done a drug in my life. Rachel Zoe A few hours' ride brough

Mr. Rotten...' You can't say anything about me. You can't put me down in any way shape or form - I'm rotten to the core... you know, what's left for you? Pleasantries? I suppose the worst insult you could sling my way is 'Oh, he's really nice, him.' John Lydon I've never had prejudice against me because of being a woman in comedy, I've never felt any sort of unfairness because of that - but I do think it is naive to think that it doesn't exist. Ellie Kemper Scientists are always skeptics. Donald Norman Know when to email vs. when to meet. Logistics are best handled over a non-immediate communication channel like email or Asana tasks. Detailed status meetings will suck the life out of your day. Justin Rosenstein In New York in the Forties or Fifties, everybody's in a suit, an overcoat and a hat. John Malkovich The most important thing is to continue to be yourself. The day after the Oscars, you have to get on with your life.

me. Bill Clinton was under pressure to appoint women to visible positions. I was 31, I'd never worked in Washington. Was I ready for this large and visible job? Still he wanted the credit. So he gave me the job but diminished the job. Dee Dee Myers Fashion goes round in circles. Siobhan Fahey I wrote a book on life coaching, because my life became my own reference point how to live. Anupam Kher If you can come to the Olympic Games and leave with a medal then that is alright. Yohan Blake I've honestly been really lucky. My only jobs have been babysitting and acting. Anne Hathaway My mom took all of my behavior personally. Everything I did, she thought it was an act of rebellion against her. But it was just me being me. Pink Watching television is like taking black spray paint to your third eye. Bill Hicks I've had to recover not only from a single well-publicized incident, but several years of press aftermath. Donna Rice I'm ready to become a Fren

live in Egypt. I had a lot of friends there. I spent two years teaching there. I had very fond feelings for that part of the world, and the fact that a culture I liked so much had attacked my own culture was really very upsetting to me. Lawrence Wright I look for a role that hopefully I feel empathy with and that I can understand and love, but also that has that challenge for me to play - a different kind of role, a different type of character, a different time period. Kathy Bates You can be for someone without being against someone else. Joe Andrew There are no war stories. I ended up a bombardier, but I never got overseas. And it wasn't because I was playing baseball either. It was just a series of things that went on. Bobby Thomson You know, I didn't get to go to university because I've been acting since I was a kid. Isla Fisher My mother said I would have more chances to become a tennis player than a football player. Marat Safin We are in a world that

world who want a stable and secure world? Absolutely, there has to be. But I don't think that America can ever abdicate its leadership role in the world because of who we are and where we've come from. We are the symbol for the world for freedom and liberty. Chris Christie Anything you can suck at should make you nervous. Chris Rock I was shy. Bookish. The kind of 13-year-old girl who, instead of having a boyfriend, would have a crush on a dead, 19th-century author! Natalie Merchant I lived in Complexo do Alemao until I was 12, dealt with domestic violence in my childhood and faced difficulties in life. Maria das Gracas Silva Foster I am a big believer in early intervention. Temple Grandin When people expect me to go right, I'll go left. I'm unpredictable. Paula Abdul Enjoy failure and learn from it. You can never learn from success. James Dyson 'Election' is a movie I'd give a leg to cross the director's name out and put mine in. J

go to New York?,' I went with my roommate... These guys said, 'We're going to this club. Just don't go in the washroom.' It was CBGB. I had no idea what it was or the history of all the music. All I knew was this was my first 21-and-over club and I managed to get in! Stana Katic I'm pretty critical of myself as far as reaching some sort of perfect bull's-eye or target that I'm aiming for. Jeff Bridges Beauty comes from the inside. Kathy Ireland A man is known by the silence he keeps. Oliver Herford Big studio comedies are such a headache. Penelope Spheeris As for us, during twenty years' reign, we have known much bitterness. Bao Dai Experience teaches us that we do not always receive the blessings we ask for in prayer. Mary Baker Eddy I'm a child of the 70's; influenced mostly by albums that had a wide variety of style. Kip Winger Working with plants, trees, fences and walls, if they practice sincerely they will attain

estimate, were brought to America... hundreds of people were set up in work camps, and hereditary-forced labor was put in place. That's a very different thing than the personal slavery that existed elsewhere. Edward Ball I'm very competitive but in a very nice way. Faith Hill I always feel I can play a role - just give me the time to do the preparation and I'll be it. Mira Sorvino I'm a Catholic, but I used to love going to Vacation Bible School with my fundamentalist friends. Paul Begala I'm taking a lot of freestyle music and flipping it. Pitbull You don't boo at a Kemp rally. You boo at football games. Jack Kemp And I watch 'Saturday Night Live' religiously, I have since I was a little boy. I watch it basically like one of my favorite sports teams. Ty Burrell Audrey Hepburn's face was made for the camera. Christine Baranski Trends don't interest me. Manolo Blahnik

stupid. I was frustrated and would come home and cry because I couldn't do it. Then we got a new teacher who made math accessible. That made all the difference and I learned that it's how you present it that makes it scary or friendly. Danica McKellar It is crazy. It's our first kid, and all of a sudden, she identifies letters as what they are, and you go, 'This kid is a genius - she's obviously some sort of savant!' Max Greenfield The first time I realised I was patriotic was after September 11th. Claire Danes Last four months were great for me, was probably one of the best four months of my career, playing unbelievable in the clay court season. Rafael Nadal Driven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world seek each other so that the world may come to being. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin I go to an acting class every Sunday. Paz de la Huerta I have a very, very creative family. Gemma Ward Therefore, if God existed, only in one way coul

lesbian community, whether through whispered confidences or public declarations. I understand what it truly means to say that all people should be treated equally, and I'll always stand up for fair and equal treatment of gay and lesbian Americans. Mark Udall Our purpose in this project is to begin to turn that fear of cancer, actually America's greatest fear, into a future, not only free of fear, but full of hope. Andrew von Eschenbach If the only way you could read an email was to run a mile first, the urge would quickly die. Human beings constantly do subconscious effort/reward calculations. Tapping a screen is the easiest of physical tasks. Andrew Weil People who play conventional music are threatened by electronica and don't consider it to be as valuable as what they do. Bill Laswell The voluntary approach to corporate social responsibility has failed in many cases. David Suzuki I have this kind of mild nice-guy exterior, but inside my heart is like a ste

and I knew it was a big deal. But did I think that it was going to be this thing that followed me for, you know, the next years to come? I guarantee you, 25 years from now, I'll be known as the girl that lip synced on 'SNL.' But, you know, it was a weird thing. Not fun. Ashlee Simpson Even if your job is a professional singer, we still dork out at home. Sheena Easton Laughter is the best medicine - unless you're diabetic, then insulin comes pretty high on the list. Jasper Carrott I think people who write for kids, we have that ability to go back into our own lives. Judy Blume Science fiction, outside of poetry, is the only literary field which has no limits, no parameters whatsoever. Theodore Sturgeon Al Jolson was one of the greatest entertainers who ever lived. Desi Arnaz If you're going to do something, do it well. And leave something witchy. Charles Manson Cinema is so slow and boring compared to television. Steven Moffat You cannot furth

little time in Maryland, and then were in Virginia by the time I was seven. What struck me the most was that my mother thought that she had gone to the middle of nowhere, and we would still drive four hours for her to get her hair cut in Washington, D.C. Connie Britton I'm a regular at a hospital in Pennsylvania. The Riddle Hospital in Media, Pennsylvania. Bam Margera Something about New York, man: You can do more comedy there probably than you can anywhere in the world. If you're interested in being funny, New York is the place to go. Dave Chappelle Anyone who'd sell out a whole town wouldn't hesitate to double-cross one man. Arnold Rothstein I came into the Republican party in 1980, when I was a college student at Georgetown.

I did all my own costume and makeup, though. Gary

along, I don't like to turn it down, I've been doing this for a decade, and I remember what it was like when I started. You spend maybe five percent of your time actually doing it, and the rest of the time, you're trying to get that five percent. Bill Pullman When I was a young man, I was poor. In a war with other nations, I was in eighty-seven fights. There I received my name and was made Chief of my nation. But now I am old and am for peace. Red Cloud Carrying a baby is the most rewarding experience a woman can enjoy. Jayne Mansfield When I write a note, it sticks in my head differently. Don Mattingly Even if you have just half an hour, you can get a good workout. So I try to make it count no matter where I am. James Maslow When I first started out, I thought it was enough to make an angry song that pointed out the problems of the world. Michael Franti I'd love to do a drama. Jason Sudeikis I learned from Francis Ford Coppola to treat the company

his own path. That's why he believes in his heart that America has a future full of opportunity and hope. And that's why when Mitt Romney looks down the road, he sees a country that's ready for a comeback. Mitch McConnell Two thousand people a day were being murdered in Vietnam in a terrorist war, an official terrorist war. Bill Ayers I am definitely a spiritually centered person and that is usually one of my biggest guiding lights beyond music. Nadia Ali I don't think many people can say they've been the lead in a Spielberg film and still been able to live their normal life that they had before. Jamie Bell I'm one of those people who loves to fly. Christina Ricci Because there's so much stuff I don't release. Tom Jenkinson The great wars of the 20th Century made it into the worst Century ever. Stephen Ambrose I've written a couple screenplays and half-finished plays. Christopher Meloni Prior to Wordsworth, humor was an essent

days and docked at the space station for 11 days. The entire crew did five space walks, of which I was involved with three of them. When you're doing a space walk, you always have a buddy with you. It's a very dangerous environment when you're doing a space walk. Thomas Marshburn If you watched companies such as Sony and Samsung grow, they focused first on features and then on industrial design, which made their products look and feel better. Jefferson Han You shouldn't listen to us at all if you're looking for information. We don't take ourselves seriously on any level; we're just comedians. Stephen Colbert I don't believe in art. I believe in artists. Marcel Duchamp Criticism, that fine flower of personal expression in the garden of letters. Joseph Conrad I don't think people have been able to deal with the fact that African American filmmakers can make movies about life and relationships. Tim Robbins The era of industrial Britain

as isolated entities, untouched by what is going on around us, not affecting what is going on around us, when we see through that, that we are interrelated, then we can see that to protect others is to protect ourselves, and to protect ourselves is to protect others. Sharon Salzberg As far as the future for the Showtime episodes that have already aired, we are sold into syndication so we'll be appearing primarily on the Fox syndicated networks and then eventually the SCI FI Channel. So, we'll be around for a while. Richard Dean Anderson I'm fairly obedient. I do what I'm told. Marian Seldes I do the same gig. I might change it a little; I might slow it down if I'm in the South. I talk fast, and they're not used to people talking that fast. Lewis Black I get a lot done considering I spend half my day sleeping. Robert Rodriguez I've never been obsessed by how I looked. In fact, I would rather have looked more ordinary so I could play more parts

know, then you can head right for it. For some people, it's the most money. For some, it's the most power. For some, it's the most girlfriends. Everybody's got a measure. For me, I guess it's having the respect and admiration of your peers. Gordon Bethune When it comes to civilian deaths, violent hostilities play no favorites. John Conyers Anyone can look beautiful. Rachel Hunter I was quite naughty at school. Gemma Arterton It was not easy to get all my questions answered, frankly. Richard Ben-Veniste You may not know it but I'm no good at coping with all the attention in the luxury hotels I sometimes find myself in. Paul Theroux In terms of publicity and interviews, well, it's really hard in this modern world to keep a sense of mystery. Jason Clarke I'm not big on the closet. Dan Butler There's never been a parent in my life. Shia LaBeouf

the chicken that they serve for dinner; instead they hunt and gather in the grocery store. They go through catalogs or department stores to buy clothes instead of shearing sheep, carding wool, and weaving cloth for skirts and coats and blankets. Helen Fisher Film and television essentially feel the same when you're doing it, because it's the same technical approach. Benjamin Bratt I was never the class clown or anything like that. When I was growing up and doing theatre in Seattle I was always doing very dramatic work. Now I can't get a dramatic role to save my life! Anna Faris In Chicago, I walked in knowing what the dancers were going to need. Colleen Atwood Michelle Obama was asked when life begins.
