My plat de resistance is potato salad with garlic and olive oil which we press

from the olives from my trees in the grounds of my home near St Remy de Provence. I have four hectares and take the olives down to the local community press at Maussane les Alpilles. I don't produce big quantities; it is just for the family and friends. Jean Reno Once you've been talked to by voices, it's not possible to go back to a world where talking voices is not possible. Mark Vonnegut I believe that Bill Clinton's second term will be good for business... my business! Mark Russell Every paleontologist knows that most new species, genera, and families, and that nearly all categories above the level of family appear in the record suddenly and are not led up to by known, gradual, completely continuous transitional sequences. George Gaylord Simpson Today's youth are told to get rich or die trying and they really shouldn't take that attitude forward with them. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar I feed on good soup, not beautiful language. Moliere I don't ...

I'd like to be the commissioner of tennis, but do I want to get into

politics? Sometimes I have delusions of grandeur that that would be an interesting, good thing. I'm talking about actual politics, like being a congressman, but then I see how unbelievably nasty it really is, and maybe I'm not quite knowledgeable enough to actually do it. John McEnroe That room was not available, and the only other room had been booked for a Jewish bar mitzvah. I called the father and told him I needed the room and I would pay him to move the bar mitzvah to an adjoining room which was smaller. Lew Wasserman I've felt that if you dwell too much on your errors, you're dealing in the negativity of things. I don't like that. I'd rather work on the positive reinforcement, the things I did well. Hale Irwin Pride is a sin that can readily be seen in others but is rarely admitted in ourselves. Ezra Taft Benson As long as I play ball, I can get any woman I want. Dennis Rodman It's a market economy. Apparently the demand for great coach...

There were only 75 people in my graduating class at the school I attended in

Hannah, S.C. It was a small school and that translated into not a lot of opportunities when it came to music. We had academic and sports programs but we never had a consistent music program. We would have a band one year, and a chorus one year, but nothing ever lasted. Josh Turner As soon as I started writing, other writers stopped wanting me acting in their shows - maybe they thought I was going to rewrite them. Harvey Fierstein Well I've got lots more great TV projects in the pipeline. Lisa Snowdon This outfit called Los Angeles Theatre Works does readings of plays. Jeffrey Jones The thing that's cool about the recording booth is that it's so perfunctory, so cut-to-the-chase. Ron Perlman My dearly beloved if I am to die today and never see the sweet face of you I want you to know that I am no great man and am lucky to have such a woman as you. Wild Bill Hickok I'm definitely not a 'Fast and a Furious' guy. Gio Gonzalez As horrific as this ...

For Sony, owning a studio is a gamble and probably a pretty good one, now

that in the broadband era having content is a great advantage when you sell devices that in a ubiquitous world of distribution can actually show programs, movies, content directly to the consumer. So that you actually create, in a digital world, real synergy. Howard Stringer People still take it really personally. They come up to me at breakfast places like, 'When are you growing your hair back?' Keri Russell Asian players train so hard. Most of the time, on Monday mornings, the only people you see on the range are Asians. I mean, only see Asians. Yani Tseng Normally I start with a plot, and write a synopsis, and the ideas come from the construction. Jo Nesbo If my work was good enough, I would never have to do publicity. David Duchovny I'm going to go out and be the best quarterback I can be and get the most out of my potential. Eli Manning One of the worst things about racism is what it does to young people. Alvin Ailey There's no changing your mi...

Most of the time I don't force records. I'm not one of these guys that

put records out every nine, 10 months. I'm pretty long between records. I've only had a few in my career. I kind of wait until I feel I have really strong songs. I don't know if they're going to change the world or not, but I dig 'em, and if I dig 'em we make a record. Jason McCoy I had gained so much confidence through my college achievements that I wanted to tackle the world. Donna Rice Globalisation will make our societies more creative and prosperous, but also more vulnerable. Lord Robertson I'm definitely lucky to have been included in some of the perks of my brother's connections in the fashion world. It's helpful considering I'm still like a five-year-old when it comes to shopping. Skylar Astin I always have humour in my action movies. I think characters that make jokes under fire are more real. It somehow helps put you in their shoes. Shane Black If you stop for one second and do something, everyone is happy. You pay it for...

My parents, and librarians along the way, taught me about the space between words; about

the margins, where so many juicy moments of life and spirit and friendship could be found. In a library, you could find miracles and truth and you might find something that would make you laugh so hard that you get shushed, in the friendliest way. Anne Lamott I ain't got no right to judge someone. Frank Bruno Being in a band with my wife, I'm very aware of the multitude of ways that can go wrong. We're best friends and are interested in the same things, so it's natural to make music together. Trent Reznor Those who cry out that the government should 'do something' never even ask for data on what has actually happened when the government did something, compared to what actually happened when the government did nothing. Thomas Sowell I think the word 'pregnant' is funny. Tracy Morgan Once you get away from where you're from, you look at it in a different way. Deana Carter That's the story of life - when you start enjoying people, ...

We're taught Lord Acton's axiom: all power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. I believed that

when I started these books, but I don't believe it's always true any more. Power doesn't always corrupt. Power can cleanse. What I believe is always true about power is that power always reveals. Robert Caro If you're in a bar and a certain song comes on and the vibe is just different, it evokes the kinds of things that you want to feel, and if music can do that it's a very special thing. Julian Casablancas I don't think I prefer writing for one age group above another. I am just as pleased with a story which I feel works well for very small children as I do with a story for young adults. Margaret Mahy It's not a terribly original thing to say, but I love Raymond Carver. For one thing, he's fun to read out loud. Ira Glass I don't think there's anything anybody's doing that the Beatles didn't at least try at some point. Joe Perry I like helping people. Lori Greiner To be Jewish is to be specifically identified with a hist...

When I first came to New York I was a dancer, and a French record

label offered me a recording contract and I had to go to Paris to do it. So I went there and that's how I really got into the music business. But I didn't like what I was doing when I got there, so I left, and I never did a record there. Madonna Ciccone Dying people in pre-industrial cultures typically died in the context of an extended family, clan, or tribe. Stanislav Grof In our daily life, we encounter people who are angry, deceitful, intent only on satisfying their own needs. There is so much anger, distrust, greed, and pettiness that we are losing our capacity to work well together. Margaret J. Wheatley Junk food drags you down. Miranda Lambert There is no sadder tale in the annals of architecture than the virtual disappearance of the defining architectural form of the Modern Movement - publicly sponsored housing. Martin Filler I'm blessed to have a little bit of success in football. Tim Tebow A broad base of knowledge is critically important to our ...

Russell James asked me to shoot underwater. He tied my feet under the water. I

don't know how many feet - maybe five, six meters. He tied me underwater and I had no air. Somebody had a tube, and they were giving me some oxygen, but I couldn't really see anything. Everything was blurry. I'm waiting for the oxygen - that was the craziest thing. Alessandra Ambrosio Some people, when they die, leave so much life behind that we wonder how they did it. Patti Davis It's changing a bit, but the thing in LA is everyone is either in the industry, or knows someone who is in the industry. So, they don't let on that they recognize you, that's what I've found out. Catherine Bell That's why I like fast film. It gives you more freedom to light more naturally. Conrad Hall If I had my time again and was able to change one thing from my career then I wouldn't have retired. I would have played for Wales longer. Gary Speed Thank you for accepting me as I am, with my virtues and defects. Jenni Rivera It's really important to st...

Often I have heard the taunt that suffragists are women who have failed to find

any normal outlet for their emotions, and are therefore soured and disappointed beings. This is probably not true of any suffragist, and it is most certainly not true of me. My home life and relations have been as nearly ideal as possible in this imperfect world. Emmeline Pankhurst I refuse to be silenced. Al Goldstein The average comedian is kind of an observer looking at everyday things that everyone could relate to and then trying to find the exaggeration in those things. Aries Spears It's hard when you're doing a film based on a true story to really figure out what all those relationships were. James Franco Life isn't something you possess. It's something you take part in, and you witness. Louis C. K. The real Michael Jackson that has not been seen... with children, one in diapers, the other two toddlers. Geraldo Rivera It just happens I write fast and always have done. Boris Johnson Theist and atheist: the fight between them is as to whether Go...

I say it with my tongue firmly planted in cheek but there's truth to it

- being a comedian is very close to being a therapist. When you're working smaller clubs, you're listening. You're feeling an energy, you're going with a tone but when people start yelling out, you almost start a conversation with people. Dane Cook Only one of us would usually sing lead. Which most of the time was, Mickey or Dave. They thought it was perfectly a natural routine, because Mickey and Dave saw themselves as TV actors. Peter Tork God exists, if only in the form of a meme with high survival value, or infective power, in the environment provided by human culture. Richard Dawkins You can count on one hand the number of Novus Ordo churches in this country that feature a fully Catholic music program of any quality, consistent with the Roman rite tradition. Richard Morris While attendance at traditional churches has been declining for decades... the evangelical movement is growing, and it is changing the way America worships. Tom Brokaw The world is...

I go into any movie that's historical fiction thinking, 'OK, I'm here to watch a

work of art, something delivering a series of opinions, and if it's a good work of art, these opinions become so deeply embedded in complexity and richness that I won't even be bothered by the opinions. I'll make my own mind up.' Tony Kushner My parents were devoted. Civic minded. We had family counsels. Three of us children against two of them. We lived a 'Leave It to Beaver' time. Sissy Spacek I can't take any more white boys noodling around on their guitars. Gene Ween Being a publicist is like management in a lot of ways - you're their friend, you're their mother, you're their confidante. Debi Mazar There are definitely things about 'Legendary Child' that echo the music we did earlier in our career. It's got the right stuff. Joe Perry It's a really weird thing, modern divorce. I found out I was getting divorced on television. That was kind of weird. Val Kilmer I tend to watch a little TV... Court TV, once in a...

It's a little known fact that one in three family pets gets lost during its

lifetime, and approximately 9 million pets enter shelters each year. That's why it's a wonderful thing to get your pet microchipped and registered with your contact information because then they can be located and the owners can track where their pets are. Betty White We did the 'MacGruber' Super Bowl spot for Pepsi, which generated some outside interest. We have a sketch where a guy blows up after 90 seconds. How are we going to make that into a movie? Jorma Taccone You have got to make sure there's due process for somebody that's accused of a crime. You've got make sure they're safe. Rick Scott You can only really open yourself up so far to someone that you don't truly love - you keep something back when you know somewhere in your gut that this relationship is going to be forever. Piper Perabo People who run for president seriously and people who become president enter a bizarre secret society in which they have had an experience that n...

Bond? It is a bit like saying, 'Do you want to play Superman?' Anyone would

dream of it. It's one of the most coveted roles in film. I'd be honoured. But I don't know if it will actually happen. I'm just happy with the idea of being associated with it. It's nice there's a lot of good will. Idris Elba Film's hard when you don't have any relationship with the director at all and you just show up. Then you really are just a gun for hire. Philip Seymour Hoffman No matter how happy anyone is with their choices, I believe it's human nature to wonder about the path not taken. Jen Lancaster I'm playing first base and pitching and hitting. I feel like I'm almost better than I've ever been. It's like, 'You're going to walk away like this?' Jennie Finch I didn't beat her. I just pushed her out of bed. O. J. Simpson Johnson had been the most powerful man in the world, yet the North Vietnamese and the Vietcong had resisted, overcome his power, broken his will. Stephen Ambrose The goal of ...

When I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder the year I turned 50, it was certainly

a shock. But as a journalist, knowing a little bit about a lot of things, I didn't suffer the misconception that depression was all in my head or a mark of poor character. I knew it was a disease, and, like all diseases, was treatable. Jane Pauley Rugby is great. The players don't wear helmets or padding; they just beat the living daylights out of each other and then go for a beer. I love that. Joe Theismann My painting does not come from the easel. Jackson Pollock Oxford is wonderful. I'm having a great time. We do go out, but I still try to spend most of my time studying in the library. Chelsea Clinton Puppet Papademos is in place, and as Athens caught fire on Sunday night he rather took my breath away - he said violence and destruction have no place in a democratic country. Nigel Farage In 10 different takes, you can do a scene 10 different ways. Scott Patterson What's dangerous is not to evolve. Jeff Bezos Politics is politics; art is art. If yo...

Baseball would be a quite remarkable activity if it was the one place in the

world where your co-workers didn't have any impact on how productive you were. But in fact, baseball is a high-stress occupation, and those sort of stress-inducing activities... just have a huge impact on how the team functions, I think. Bill James I don't know why his lawyers didn't tell him, 'You don't have to answer any questions about your private life, Mr. President. Let them sue you. Take the heat. You don't have to answer.' Chris Matthews I'm a news junkie who's constantly reading newspapers and magazines. I look around and see what's happening in the world. Michael Franti I have an enormous family because I'm from Montreal and my family's Catholic, so my dad has eight siblings and they all have kids and we all grew up in the same property on weekends and summers. Jessica Pare I think I'm like Marmite; you either love me or you hate me. Lily Allen You know, the men go to tea houses with the expectation that they ...

There's this inherent screenplay structure that everyone seems to be stuck on, this three-act thing.

It doesn't really interest me. To me, it's kind of like saying, 'Well, when you do a painting, you always need to have sky here, the person here and the ground here.' Well, you don't. Charlie Kaufman I liked the kid who wrote me that he had to do a term paper on a modern poet and he was doing me because, though they say you have to read poems twice, he found he could handle mine in one try. Howard Nemerov All progress is experimental. John Jay Chapman The crisis of black politics can only be resolved through the development of multiclass, multiracial, progressive political structures. Manning Marable When you're trying to pass on the best of the stuff you're culling to what should be a hungry culture but you have it diminished... that's kind of disappointing. Joni Mitchell I always had the ability to throw a frisbee pretty well. I don't why. Joel Silver I'm not the easiest person to live with. I'm kind of a slob. Katie Holm...

I think that you may find that Tamera's a little more vibrant and energetic, but

I'm much more likely to go up to a person and say, 'Hi, I'm Tia, nice to meet you.' Whereas Tamera is like... well... she's a little shy. She's down to earth. I'm more extroverted and she's more introverted when meeting people. Tia Mowry I was always curious about motivation and intention, and really, that's a lot of what acting is. Liev Schreiber People - not just in their teenage years - hold on to this fantasy of love when they're not ready to have a real relationship. Keri Russell My mother is a special story. She went through so much to bring us up, four men at home, especially when our country was going through really difficult times. Novak Djokovic We weren't allowed to watch TV as kids. Emily Procter I know how guys talk, so I'm not easily offended. Guys can fight and be best friends five minutes later. Women have to air it out, hold on to it, work on it. Kim Delaney Be a dreamer.

My platform has been to reach reluctant readers. And one of the best ways I

found to motivate them is to connect them with reading that interests them, to expand the definition of reading to include humor, science fiction/fantasy, nonfiction, graphic novels, wordless books, audio books and comic books. Jon Scieszka We have much to learn by studying nature and taking the time to tease out its secrets. David Suzuki Many CEOs and leaders think that silence is indeed golden, that consensus is bliss. It is - sometimes. But more often what it signifies is that there are no respected processes for surfacing concerns and dissent. Margaret Heffernan I thank all of those deputies who supported the government and gave it a vote of confidence. I believe each of those votes represents a responsible decision to avoid placing our country's membership of the eurozone in danger. Lucas Papademos And thus I take my leave of the world and of you all, and I heartily desire you all to pray for me. Anne Boleyn Politics is developing more comedians than radio ever ...

What happened was, I always wanted to be a singer/songwriter kind of guy like a

James Taylor or Crosby, Stills and Nash type of thing; I went to a lot of coffee houses and used to watch all those guys, but I never had the nerve to get up and do it because singing seems so personal and intimate to me. It was too revealing. Kevin Nealon The Christian - the biblical - concept of mercy toward wrongdoers only exists in relation to justice. Showing mercy, in relation to wrongdoing, means treating someone better than they deserve. John Piper I'm the youngest of 12 children. And although I was the youngest, I tried to organize things in my family. When there were disputes, I tried to mediate. Ruth J.

Azar Nafisi I'm pleased to offer analysis of public policy and politics to the millions of Americans who get their news from Fox. Evan Bayh I'm always writing. I'm an obsessive.

On the day I started college in 1979, no woman had ever been on the

United States Supreme Court or served as the Speaker of the House. None had been an astronaut or the solo anchor of a network evening news broadcast. Not one had been president of an Ivy League college or run a serious campaign for president. Dee Dee Myers I'm not wild about hand-held shots. Claude Chabrol Greece is a medium-sized country in Europe. Our debt accounts for only 2.5 percent of the total of all members of the euro zone. Evangelos Venizelos But I'll tell you what hermits realize. If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you'll come to understand that you're connected with everything. Alan Watts Happiness for me is getting to write about the most important things I know. Richard Ford Products made in China are cheap through the exploitation of the workforce. Every time we shop, we are driving the nail further into the coffin of American manufacturing jobs. Joe Baca I was successful with mediocre material because of a good rec...

If you look at Gothic detailing right down to the bottom of a column or

the capital of a column, it's a small version of the whole building; that's why, like dating the backbones of a dinosaur, a good historian can look at a detail of a Gothic building and tell you exactly what the rest of the building was, and infer the whole from the parts. Charles Jencks Unreasonable haste is the direct road to error. Moliere Find out what the other team wants to do. Then take it away from them. George Halas A lot of the girls were awful, very catty.

I wanted to definitely be a musician or a good preacher or a heck of

a baseball player. I couldn't play ball too good - I hurt my finger, and I stopped that. I couldn't preach, and well, all I had left was getting into the music thing. Muddy Waters I confess that I listen to my own music for my own pleasure. Herb Alpert How can you not like Britney Spears? Lindsay Lohan It has never been my object to record my dreams, just the determination to realize them. Man Ray Reality isn't the way you wish things to be, nor the way they appear to be, but the way they actually are. Robert J.

My first joke was about a company called Five Star Parking that was all over

Philadelphia: 'Who's reviewing parking lots?' Adam McKay I don't have to try to be perfect because I know that my fans like me for who I am. They like me because I am weird and kind of funky, but still really calm. Bella Thorne It's a funny feeling to work with people who you consider your colleagues and to realize that they actually are young enough to be your children. Alan Alda There was a time when cowboys respected their horses instead of riding them to death just to show off for a crowd. Tommy Lee My friends and family are amazed I've done so well. I was not a model student. No one expected that I'd build a Fortune 500 company at Symantec. John W.

I have a Tinder account. Now I've done Bumble, and I've tried this other one,

and the way I justified it is that... because I'm on TV, I shouldn't be eliminated from participating in what's going on in the world. But people are always like, 'I can't believe you're on a dating app!' Eric Stonestreet I think to eat cake is very good for us, but it's the size of the slice and how often you have it.

Though Nathalie Dupree did not remember much about my presence in her class, it marked

me forever. I remain her enthusiast, her evangelist, her acolyte, and her grateful student. She taught me that cooking and storytelling make the most delightful coconspirators. Pat Conroy I was a good student. My mom is a teacher, and her side of the family is all teachers. She put a big emphasis on getting good grades. Tyler Hilton One of the challenges for sub-Saharan Africa is that markets are of modest size. This makes regional integration important. Robert Zoellick Here in Tennessee, instead of the big spending, big government, job killing agenda of the Obama Administration, Tennesseans have tightened their belts and are struggling to find jobs that will enable them to support their families. Marsha Blackburn I like a challenge. The fact that these are secret organizations, and also very important organizations that can engage in abuses that are so important to our national security - all that attracts me. Ronald Kessler I think ad networks is an ongoing story. Fede...

The Constitution defends all of us against unreasonable search and seizure. What constitutes reasonableness depends

I've always liked people who know me to like me, because I think I'm quite

The art of transformation is a very important thing to me, and I always believe

I can say something more truthful through characters that are further away from me. Andy Serkis Before competition, I always take an ice bath to make my body feel more refreshed. Then I always have coffee with a little cream and sugar. It's a superstitious thing. McKayla Maroney The idea that Americans favor politicians who either remind them of themselves or can imagine what their selves are like because they too have struggled and sung the blues, is, like very best theories of human behavior, immune to falsification by mere evidence. Walter Kirn There are a few images in 'Exorcist 3' that scared me - people crawling on ceilings, etc. - but nothing beats the original. Even the book scared me to death.
