changed my life all of those years ago. I'll be so sad to leave Peggy behind; she's such a wonderful character to play. I have had the pleasure of working with a marvelous cast and crew and have made many lasting good friends. Barbara Windsor For men, as they get bogged down with responsibilities, commitments, bureaucracy, it is a fantasy just to think of shedding everything literally, walking away with nothing at all, and just hitting the road. Lee Child The courts of this country should not be the places where resolution of disputes begins. They should be the places where the disputes end after alternative methods of resolving disputes have been considered and tried. Sandra Day O'Connor It is at once the most overwhelmingly frustrating and exasperating task and the most joyous and rewarding experience to make human beings out of children. Neil Kurshan If one artist sells five million albums, the tendency is for other artists to say, 'Maybe I should do a l...

contributing to societies there, where in the past they would have stayed in the U.S. and built new companies here. We have to have immigration reform that allows talented foreigners to become Americans. David Malpass For me, I think that I don't like feeling pressure from outside sources. I'd rather put the pressure on myself and push myself to do it as good as I can. Jay Hernandez I'm a spiritual person, I'm an America, I'm a Jew, and all of those things influence every breath I take, everywhere I go. Mandy Patinkin I've watched the demise of the Hollywood orchestra, the house orchestras of the big studios. Skitch Henderson After I'd been a lawyer for about five or six years, I started playing around with fiction. John Grisham I'm concerned about the cost, just like everybody else. There's no question that we have an obligation to help the people of Louisiana and Mississippi to rebuild. Saxby Chambliss The world is a fine place an...

this relationship that never betrayed you. Once it became your job - this thing that was highly visible, this thing that became about commerce - that's when you were holding onto music like it was a palm tree in a hurricane. Eddie Vedder Of course, the simple explanation of the fact is that marriage is the most important act of man's life in Europe or America, and that everything depends upon it. Lafcadio Hearn Preachers denounce sin as if it was available to everyone. Frank Dane American POWs from the last Iraq war, who were held prisoner and tortured by Iraq, are now being prevented by our government from suing the Iraqis who tortured them. Dana Rohrabacher It's rare to find women who have that balance between work and life, who are really psyched for another woman's success. Dana Fox The main thing I don't like about myself is an absurd level of self-consciousness that makes any sort of social encounter an ordeal for me. Jarvis Cocker I really e...

co-wrote '21 Jump Street' and I'm in that. To me, they all inform the other one. I think writing makes you a better actor, acting makes you a better writer, directing makes you better at both. To me, I'm just trying to learn as much as possible. Jonah Hill As a successful romantic novelist - one of my publishers is Mills & Boon - I create the sort of male heroes that no woman could fail to adore and few real men could hope to emulate. P. C. Cast Without humor, I cannot go on and I doubt many of my readers would go on either. Humor is so important. I am here to have fun here with my work. Gary Shteyngart If it was possible for me to adopt, I probably would, but no one's going to let me adopt. Graham Norton If you went to see me today, you might not like my music. Link Wray One of the things that Teller and I are obsessed with, one of the reasons that we're in magic, is the difference between fantasy and reality. Penn Jillette Fairness throug...

immigrated to the U.S. three years before, and I had spent the better part of the first two years learning English. John Steinbeck's book was the first book I read in English where I had an 'Aha!' moment, namely in the famed turtle chapter. Khaled Hosseini When you run the marathon, you run against the distance, not against the other runners and not against the time. Haile Gebrselassie Look, I've heard a lot of people talk about me, they say I'm like Marmite. They like me, or they don't like me. Kevin Pietersen I would say that I'm more moved by melody, even though I love to rap. Drake I really like having a life outside work. I sometimes wish I did more career stuff and was in that Hollywood scene a bit more. But Toronto's my home. Rachel McAdams The first requisite of civilization is that of justice. Sigmund Freud After three years in Chicago, I decided to call it a career. Ted Lindsay Accept who you are and try and make the best o...

focus on reading and quality writing. I don't think any of them is necessary, but they all play an incredibly important role in building a body of literature, in introducing new authors to new readers, and extending reading. Kate Mosse It is not enough to photograph the obviously picturesque. Dorothea Lange For some reason, the evolutionists have not come up with an evolution-based explanation for why human beings react so powerfully to music. But surely they will. Dennis Prager There is nothing to be compared to this, 'cause we lost our brother, our hero. The world is mourning. We are mourning. The fans are mourning. It is unreal. Unbelievable. Jermaine Jackson I was two and a half when I first climbed up and sat at a piano. Tori Amos Death can't be so bad if mom went through it. It makes it easier for the child to follow. Danny Aiello When something bad is written about me, I find it hurtful. So I choose not to look at it. Patsy Kensit I really think ...

a point. But if you define 'having it all' as the opportunity to have a successful career and a family, I'd say this. When a man tells his coworkers he's going to have a child, no one asks him how he'll manage or if he'll be coming back to work. Anne-Marie Slaughter On the other hand, we have in Israel, an Israeli government which has been elected by the Israeli people. Their political agenda is not for peace. They are from the camp anti-peace. Rafik Hariri I don't like to make a big splash anyway. Larry David The people are forbidden to give aid and comfort to rebels. What of a government that has the power to cut off from aid and comfort all the rebels of the South and fails to exercise it? Robert Dale Owen There are portions of Malibu that are very remote; it's like living in the country somewhere. James Brolin Music to me is something I did as a hobby. Pitbull The Odyssey is, indeed, one of the greatest of all stories, it is the ori...

because the former journalist in me is too inhibited by the press of reality; when I think about writing of my own time I always think about nonfiction narratives. Or perhaps it's just that I find the present too confounding. Geraldine Brooks Being an anchor is not just a matter of sitting in front of a camera and looking pretty. David Brinkley I am a gym rat who loves to work out, particularly running, Zumba, yoga, cycling, and kickboxing. Aprilynne Pike Our young people look up to us. Let us not let them down. Our young people need us. Saving them will make heroes of us all. Gale Sayers I don't know if I'm a heartthrob or if I want to be one! I heard that I get the most fan mail. It's very flattering, and lovely to be popular with the public. Christopher Parker I actually find extroversion to be a really appealing personality style. Susan Cain I want to be the best mum and I want everything to be perfect - I want a fairy tale really. Jennifer Elliso...

He moves in and commandeers our hands and feet, requisitions our minds and tongues. We sense his rearranging: debris into the divine, pig's ear into silk purse. He repurposes bad decisions and squalid choices. Little by little, a new image emerges. Max Lucado I used to have a great fear of constitutional conventions. I have a great fear now of not having one. Tom Coburn The youth of an art is, like the youth of anything else, its most interesting period. When it has come to the knowledge of good and evil it is stronger, but we care less about it. Samuel Butler A Jewish woman had two chickens. One got sick, so the woman made chicken soup out of the other one to help the sick one get well. Henny Youngman If something scares me, then I have to do it. My biggest fear in life is fear. Sheryl Lee I would like that to be known; these facts are in the summary which I think is a very good one. John Sherman Cooper I'm suggesting that we abolish the social function of pr...

same thing as people telling me about their car or something. It's fine if you have an interest. By talking with me, though, you could be interviewing a novelist about guitars. It's the same thing, except I don't write that well either. Jonny Greenwood I literally was famous before I knew my own name. Corey Feldman I will admit to hoarding beauty products. I'm a beauty lady. Naya Rivera Animal testing is needless, especially in cosmetics. Leona Lewis I think the biggest mistake I made was this wretched ability to see both sides of an argument. John Major Honestly, as a director, at least for me, if I start doing the same thing over and over again, I'm going to get bored really quickly. Chris Columbus It's 85 million dollars and they got to be really careful because they are going to need me. Terry Gilliam Yeah, exactly, you can talk about politics in music, you can talk about something else, but that's always going to change, and love is...

package, who are supportive of my successes because they know I will be just as supportive of theirs. I'm less tolerant of foolishness now; I know that it's important I not tie myself up with the wrong person, because then I will miss the right person coming along. Ginnifer Goodwin As a former career intelligence professional, I have a profound appreciation for the value of intelligence. Intelligence disrupts terrorist plots and thwarts attacks. Intelligence saves lives. John O. Brennan Never ask a bore a question. Mason Cooley If you have a song that you think sounds like another song you should contact the publishing company and say I have a song here, let's cut a deal that lets everyone walk away feeling good. Wayne Coyne Equality is not in regarding different things similarly, equality is in regarding different things differently. Tom Robbins In the future, I'd like to see paleontology as a whole get a lot more quantitative. Jack Horner If God be G...

think it's the same with a live performance. If the material is strong, you're already 90% there. I always tell young people it's all about the music, the songs. Work on the songs, work on the songs, work on the songs. Tom Petty I am attracted to the dark side of life! Famke Janssen We have all loved a guy we know has issues. Despite popular opinions, until we give it a final try, the relationship will always be in the 'what if' stage. Patti Stanger I have several writer friends, but I don't involve them in my work process. I'm more likely to talk about the business of publishing with them. Jodi Picoult Columbia Law School men were being drafted, and suddenly women who had done well in college were considered acceptable candidates for the vacant seats. Constance Baker Motley Come to think of it, Pasadena's as good a place to die as any. Michael Tolkin What I've tended to do is to use my own experiences to get into someone else's...

you talk about the Republican Party and the debates that are going on within the Republican Party on a number of issues, what I'm hoping is that they will get to a point where they will work with us on moving forward with this economy. Amy Klobuchar I've done a lot of acting. I'm not saying I'm the greatest, but I'd love to act, I'd love to sing. Jessica Hahn I realized that the only way to get into a good college was to be valedictorian or salutatorian. So that was my goal. Melinda Gates But O, how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes. William Shakespeare A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas. G. H. Hardy It's just certain people that I get the giggles with. Jeremy Sumpter Labor is the source of all wealth and all culture. Ferdinand Lassalle When I saw houses in Palmdale going for $500K,...

parts, which no one would have ever considered me for in the '80s. I never objected to that because I love doing comedy, and I'm not the kind of actor that insists that unless you're doing a serious dramatic role, you're not acting. Curtis Armstrong I think I'm prone to panic. Robert Plant Basically, I hate conformity. I hate people telling me what to do. It makes me want to smash things. So-called normal behaviour patterns make me so bored, I could throw up! Wendy O. Williams Sometimes Congress likes to milk an issue. Steve Largent You can't find true affection in Hollywood because everyone does the fake affection so well. Carrie Fisher If people think that you're throwing babies out, dissecting children, to do stem-cell research, I'm not for that. Elizabeth Edwards The average husband enjoys the total effect of his home but is usually unable to contribute any of the details of work and organisation that make it enjoyable. Havelock El...

reading it. And I think the reason is because, like in most Westerns, you have the very clear-cut bad-guy/good-guy, however, as the movie progresses, you kind of see that it's a very fine line that divides these two. Christian Bale And my father, being a good Swiss puritan, always really insisted that if I was going to be an actor, I shouldn't just be an actor, I should know about the whole process. Rene Auberjonois I've never really played everyday people. I've played realist roles, but not mere daily life. There was always something incredible happening to my characters. Sandrine Bonnaire I have a whole different type of lifestyle. Lawrence Taylor But I have been in some very beautiful churches, then I've looked outside and seen people starving to death. Captain Beefheart Everything I touch turns to gold. Pete Waterman At the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic indepe...

they don't want me to do that. And I say that having never actually watched 'Murder, She Wrote'. I think people have been trying to compare it to crime shows that are on right now, and all I can do is listen. I don't watch a lot of TV. Nathan Fillion Bad religion is arrogant, self-righteous, dogmatic and intolerant. And so is bad science. But unlike religious fundamentalists, scientific fundamentalists do not realize that their opinions are based on faith. They think they know the truth. Rupert Sheldrake You never see girls running after engineers. Anthony Mackie I have so much confidence in the reality of Jesus that I feel no pressure to try to make people act or be a certain way. I'm banking everything on the fact that God actually changes people. Erwin McManus Obama came in and gave $700 billion to the bankers off the top as opposed to giving $700 billion to the poor. Lupe Fiasco I am involved in a freedom ride protesting the loss of the minority r...

it is a dialect of English, it can be very difficult for people who don't speak it, or who haven't been raised in it, to understand when it's running by quickly, spoken in particular by young men colloquially to each other. So that really is an issue. John McWhorter The most amazing thing to me about the sea is the tide. A harbour like St. Ives is totally transformed in a very short space of time by the arrival or departure of the sea. John Dyer I believed in raising my children as I had been raised. Boris Becker I like that 3D is based on the fact that you look with two eyes, so two cameras imitate that. Bernardo Bertolucci It seems to me that we often commit ourselves wholly to something while knowing almost nothing concrete about it. Another word for that, I suppose, is 'faith.' Zadie Smith It's both rebellion and conformity that attack you with success. Amy Tan Everything all the time in a city is extraordinary! Doris Lessing I'm jus...

was unbelievably low. Now, after years of rebuilding, our training programs and putting our best efforts to recruit the most talented men and women, we are graduating more clandestine officers than at any time in the history of the Central Intelligence Agency. George Tenet My father also happened to be an intellectual, as learned, literate, informed, and curious as anyone I have known. Unobtrusively and casually, he was my wise and gentle teacher. James Tobin For me, there will be no enemies but unemployment, the deficit, excessive debt, economic stagnation and anything else that keeps our country in these critical circumstances. Mariano Rajoy About a year ago, out of the blue, I just wrote a bunch of songs. Rick Moranis I lost my daughter at 21. I had to give her up because I was broke, no place to take her, no money to take her. That was very traumatic. Joni Mitchell I think that certainly my choices empower me. Kyra Sedgwick I couldn't find a group that wanted ...

know, abnormal development in the brain. The emotional circuits in the brain are abnormal. And there also are differences in the white matter, which is the brain's computer cables that hook up the different brain departments. Temple Grandin In the seventies we had to make it acceptable for people to accept girls and women as athletes. We had to make it okay for them to be active. Those were much scarier times for females in sports. Billie Jean King The history of fossil-fuel development has always been that certain people are expendable. What's changed is that new, larger populations are now considered expendable. Josh Fox I understand exactly what I am. Seth Grahame-Smith If Mother Theresa went to Atlantic City, I don't think she'd start playing Blackjack. Michael Shannon I never felt like a good Jew. My mother was not Jewish, and that makes me a non-Jew according to Jewish religious law. Stephane Hessel I have always stood in awe of the camera. I rec...

native born women who work in the service arena - such as domestic workers - are not valued for their work, making pennies on the dollar compared to male counterparts; and, women are disproportionately affected by family reunification policies. Christine Pelosi But I can tell you what your folly and injustice will compel us to do. It will compel us to be free from your domination, and more self-reliant than we have been. John H. Reagan Every so often you might have an outburst in the gallery. That's one of the most exciting things that happen because then you can say, 'Unless there's order we will call the Sergeant at Arms.' And that sounds really scary. Amy Klobuchar Pittsburgh was a great team. Coach Noll, Joe Greene, Jack Lambert, L.C. Greenwood and all those guys did a great job. That's the team that kept us from winning two Super Bowls. It was a great rivalry. Earl Campbell Mom was the greatest influence of my childhood. She wanted to save me from t...

All the vapid cases of corruption, grand theft, and naked plunder of the treasury are caused by dictators, leaving in their wake trails of wanton destruction, horrendous carnage and human debris. George Ayittey If I could play drums like Patrick Carney or Taylor Hawkins, I'd be a really happy person. Olivia Wilde I don't even call myself a Christian. Marcus Mumford In England, I suppose I have been known to once or twice tune into 'Big Brother', which is a pretty terrible guilty pleasure. Freddie Stroma If you have a friend or family member with breast cancer, try not to look at her with 'sad eyes.' Treat her like you always did; just show a little extra love. Hoda Kotb More than the time, it's about how you feel - you want to be strong throughout the race. Ryan Hall Grandchildren are the dots that connect the lines from generation to generation. Lois Wyse In the end no segregationist scheme has withstood the force of a simple idea: equa...

if she saw that any of the local boys were up to no good, she would scold them on the spot. Although she is only 5 feet 2, she was famous in our neighborhood for intimidating men three times her size and getting them to do the right thing. Hanna Rosin All I can do is put on my armor and brace for the arrows. Jamie Kennedy I'm definitely not at my best. Honestly, I'm under 50 percent. But I've won stuff under 50 percent before. Serena Williams One of the great currents in the contemporary experience of art is that it seems to come out of the experience of the author. Anish Kapoor We were lounging around in this beautiful house in LA, and I'm coming from NY, so sometimes when we weren't working I would just sit on those folding chairs. Maggie Gyllenhaal Nothing's really a prized possession except my family, you know? James Hetfield I really don't think anything I do is a mistake. It could be if I didn't learn from it. Fiona Apple Silic...

'Wanted,' 'X-Men,' 'Welcome To The Punch,' even 'Trance' to a certain extent has little bits of action and stuff, but I've never really hurt myself at all - not even like a sprained ankle. James McAvoy Womanhood is something you don't consider until it hits you. Laura Marling I'm used to short distances and short bursts of energy; it was just fastest. Shannon Miller I'm an addict for underwear. Jennifer Ellison And I now think that Stratocasters and Telecasters are way cool. John Fogerty My experience of ships is that on them one makes an interesting discovery about the world. One finds one can do without it completely. Malcolm Bradbury Hogs and pigs are very intelligent. Jack Hanna If you don't think there is any value in the work I, or any other serious journalists do, then don't spend your money on it. At least you have the choice. Heather Brooke It was absolutely thrilling to meet Laurel and Hardy, they...

one of those situations, I had a daunting problem that I had to solve. And I used the same business principles to approach the problem and, more importantly, solve the problem in every one of the situations. Herman Cain If it is a first offense, you ground them and have a talk. The second offense would call for counseling. Alan Thicke There is a huge shift taking place in the global awareness in the last 5 years with strong views about globalization and the power structures of major corporations. David Korten I think that someone is watching out for me, God, my guardian angel, I'm not sure who that is, but they really work hard. Mattie Stepanek Yes, I mean like you know, having studied with Yehudi Menuhin that is like some direct route into Bach, because he was one of the foremost interpreters of Bach for the violin. Nigel Kennedy Every man is as heaven made him, and sometimes a great deal worse. Miguel de Cervantes Only when the sense of the pain of others begins...

compared to each other. Writers tend to have a lot of camaraderie, and when you're constantly compared to someone else, it kind of damages that camaraderie, but I think this is a great trend. I'm honored to be a part of it in many ways. Veronica Roth I'm not an amazing cook. But I can follow a recipe! Rachel McAdams I'm a gung-ho guy. Ray Knight I'm a Taurus. To the bone. Michelle Pfeiffer I love the description of Gothic churches before the printed word, that they were the bibles of the poor. John McGahern I think it's a problem that we don't have more companies like Facebook. It shouldn't be the only company that's doing this well. Peter Thiel If you don't second-guess yourself, then you are not trying to get better. Don Mattingly Psychologists have set about describing the true nature of women with a certainty and a sense of their own infallibility rarely found in the secular world. Naomi Weisstein I'm Bam Margera. ...

felt like I wanted to coin a term that would be basically the reaction to my art. It would be a mindfreak and so that's why I came up with that. But, many people say I'm really a student of humanity and psychology. Criss Angel I can sleep anywhere. I can fall asleep standing up, literally anywhere. Jenna Ushkowitz Everybody handles things differently. Terry Bradshaw The Dalai Lama was once asked for his favorite chant, and he said it was better not to have a favorite anything, which I think is a great thought. Jeremy Piven Acting is what I love. I love being the chameleon, and you can't do that if you have just one physical type. Alexander Ludwig I'm thrilled to start my family with a little girl! My boyfriend and I couldn't be happier! Holly Madison People say I am cheap, and I don't mind if they do. Ingvar Kamprad Everyone in my family has seen me cry before. Maura Tierney To be a gluten-free vegan is, like, the most difficult thing you...

great group of people in their own little world. But I don't really see a lot of difference. Of course, on the cable shows, you can tackle subjects and be more specific, because networks have to appeal to the masses, but that's constantly changing and evolving. Bryan Batt A memoir is always the most authentic telling of a situation, but a novel gets to different places. Emma Donoghue But there's nothing that gives me more thrill than when I'm writing and a couplet works. I find the right rhyme, or it's just perfect. There's nothing that exciting. Rosanne Cash I have never tried to compare myself to anyone else. Sachin Tendulkar Machiavelli had some cold tricks for people who wanted to be demagogues and wanted to take over the world. Mads Mikkelsen You know, what 'New Girl' is doing is they're bringing in really cool people. These are home-run people who aren't your typical guest-star-type people. Jake Johnson The first time I wa...

weekends because I like to have those stories. My wife and I go off and do craziness all the time. We're just like, 'What can we go get into this weekend?' Then we have other ones where we just sit and do nothing and then we have work that we do. It's all memories. Channing Tatum I have a yearning someday to do one of these huge juggernauts. Tom Hooper It's an exaggeration to say that I came up with M-theory. Edward Witten The embrace of a new technology by ordinary people leads inevitably to its embrace by people of malign intent. Charles C. Mann I was never interested in making cool, distilled, pure objects. Martin Puryear I like to think of myself as very loyal, and I love everyone I surround myself with, whether they're friends or girlfriends or whatever. Taylor Lautner My theory about creativity is that the more money one has, the more creative one can be. Robert Mapplethorpe So many actors have sheer guts, will, and determination; they...

It was a volunteer unit, and there was a fairly high rate of attrition. The people who stayed through are the people who were either great at it or the people who just didn't know how to stop. And I fell into that second category. Michael Arad You go from high school, to the NBA, and you're thrown in the fire. Dwight Howard I have to reinvent myself. Ted Kulongoski I have never sung a whole song on my own before and I am not the best dancer in the world, but I would rather try and fall than not not try at all. Geri Halliwell Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I think viewers are hungry for shows in which people say something meaningful. Michael Landon Perfect numbers like perfect men are very rare. Rene Descartes The most important thing that happens within Christian spirituality is when a person falls in love with Jesus. Donald Miller Oh, I'm terrible at travel. Johnny Vegas You can have fun, but you also have to put on your thinking cap every day. T...

of civilians in Afghanistan by American hands. By ordinary standards of presidents, he is a decent man. But those standards aren't good enough. He's in a position either to kill or not to kill, and he's made the decision to kill. Daniel Ellsberg The service of philosophy, of speculative culture, towards the human spirit, is to rouse, to startle it to a life of constant and eager observation. Walter Pater Even when I'm in quite a happy state of mind, I like writing really sad songs. I think a lot of people do. Ellie Goulding It's a very good thing for students also to be exposed to people who aren't film students or film scholars but who work in the world of film. Robert Mayer Combing my hair doesn't make me a better musician. Ritchie Blackmore Songwriting is the other weight on the opposite side of the scale from touring. They balance me out creatively. Tommy Shaw Style is joyful if you allow yourself to have joy. Stacy London Leave wome...

curious about all the camera movements - why is the camera placed here, and why does it move like this? And why the set and the background, the color? It's a lot of questions for me to ask, because I was so interested, not only in acting, but also the whole process of filmmaking. Stephen Chow Anybody can direct a picture once they know the fundamentals. Directing is not a mystery, it's not an art. The main thing about directing is: photograph the people's eyes. John Ford In regards to The Haunting, people compared it to the old movie, which is unfair. We didn't have the rights to the movie. I couldn't duplicate a single thing because that would have been legal infringement. Jan de Bont The reason for this project comes from my childhood, that is clear to me. I did not have any toys. So, I played in the bricks of ruined buildings around me and with which I built houses. Anselm Kiefer I have no apologies. Jai Rodriguez Nope, no sex scandals yet. But I a...

to my sister and me every night, and we always loved playing make-believe games. I had a well-primed imagination. I didn't start thinking about writing as a serious pursuit, a career I could have, until after college. Sara Zarr On stage, I'm me. I'm a husband, I'm a dad, I'm a guy, I'm a mess - but I am a cohesive thing that you recognize as one human entity saying these things that he generally believes. Rob Delaney I want to liberate my imagination and my mind with every kind of movie. That is what I wanted to do all my life. Alejandro Jodorowsky I went to India and met some people who had been involved in this guerrilla business, middle-class people who were rather vain and foolish. There was no revolutionary grandeur to it. Nothing. V. S. Naipaul In the theatrical works we love and admire the most, the ending of the drama generally takes place offstage. Gustav Mahler I advise you to say your dream is possible and then overcome all inconvenienc...

bad guy always loses and that the tooth fairy sneaks into our rooms at night to put money under our pillow. Everything amazes us, and we think anything is possible. We continuously experience life with a sense of newness and unbridled curiosity. Yehuda Berg The great thing about our system of democracy is when they call you for jury duty, you have to come... It's an honor and a privilege. I was called and I've got to be here. Antonio Villaraigosa Society questions the police and their methods, and the police say, Do you want the criminals off the street or not? Kurt Russell I don't think anyone has written a great graphic novel. Ted Rall Playing live is basically just hyperactivity and a certain sense of enchantment that I deliver to the audience, to let them know what it would be like to be inside my head. Dave Mustaine Everything that goes into my mouth seems to make me fat, everything that comes out of my mouth embarrasses me. Gabriel Garcia Marquez The...

long, blonde, straight hair, and I had short, dark, curly hair. I immediately felt I didn't fit in and started growing my hair. But I've learned that I'm only happy when I am truly me and feel comfortable and confident in myself. Emmy Rossum I love Katy Perry! She gave me a song for my second album. Selena Gomez There's many different genres, and when you see R&B and pop and house, as well as electronic, come together, that's the reality of what music is. David Guetta The individual source of the statistics may easily be the weakest link. Josiah Stamp It is a very honest world, our work. I think you cannot fake anything. Luciano Pavarotti The weather is like the government, always in the wrong. Jerome K. Jerome Ruling elders are declared to be the representatives of the people. Charles Hodge In Britain, like most of the developed world, stem-cell research is regarded as a great opportunity. America will be left behind if it doesn't chang...

workforce. They'll return to communities, and one of the things I've worried about is the increasing disconnect between the American people and our men and women in uniform. We come from fewer and fewer places. We're less than 1% of the population. Michael Mullen It's so many years of reading story. You leave work and it goes away till you see it air on television. Jacob Young The best thing about lying in bed late is that you learn to distinguish between first things and trivia, for whatever presses on you has to prove its importance before it makes you move. Max Lerner I guess there is also an element of deliberate change involved. Each of my books has been, at least from my point of view, radically different from the last. George Murray In all of our society, but especially in Hollywood, there is an obsession with perfection that can lead to self-loathing and neurosis and all that kind of stuff. Ethan Hawke If a conservative is a liberal who's been...

do, quite honestly, but clearly in the area of security. Those cops get paid more than N.Y.P.D. cops, and quite honestly - I know I'm going to get into trouble for saying this - they're nothing more than mall cops. Joseph J. Lhota Some of the hip-hop stuff people get into is exciting, because there's a passion and there's something to explain to a more mainstream audience, so you get these passionate writers who want to express their love for rap and hip-hop, which is cool. Cameron Crowe After Cannes, my agent told me to get the next flight to LA. He was right. I had a part in 'Prime Suspect 3' by the end of the week. David Thewlis It is never wise to try to appear to be more clever than you are. It is sometimes wise to appear slightly less so. William Whitelaw Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure. Ronald Reagan No matter what's happening in my life, I can always get lost in the romances of my characters. Amanda Seyfried E...

the best thrift store - they're not the most thrifty thrift store - but they have amazing stuff and all of their proceeds go directly to kids, mostly homeless kids, living with AIDS and HIV in New York, in the metropolitan area. Ezra Miller People keep saying I've changed. I used to be confrontational. But I'm - I haven't changed. It was - it's just that circumstances have changed. Aung San Suu Kyi It was a mixed blessing to have famous parents. It was tough to go to auditions and be bad, since I couldn't be anonymous. Ben Stiller I think it's fascinating that I receive attention for what people perceive to be a level of manliness or machismo, when amongst my family of farmers and paramedics and regular Americans, I'm kind of the sissy in my family. Nick Offerman Man's nature, originally good and common to all, should develop unhampered. Georg Simmel There's no authoritarian structure at Reed College, but the education is conservat...

if the Soviets were not to intervene, there would have been some flowering authentic democratic socialism and so on. I'm a little bit more of a pessimist there. I think that the Soviets - it's a very sad lesson - by their intervention, saved the myth. Slavoj Zizek I think we're in the beginning of a bull market. When a bull market begins, nine months later the economy turns around. Sumner Redstone I've always loved singing. I find it exhilarating. Madeleine Peyroux A telescope will magnify a star a thousand times, but a good press agent can do even better. Fred Allen I liked television, and television liked me. Joel Siegel Inside was the second LP album of a comedian's performance before an audience. Shelley Berman I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth. Pete Townshend The Christian market has less competition and lower standards. Jerry B. Jenkins I'm not a beautiful person and I never have been. Brigitte Nielsen I was not what yo...

me do my job. So it's kind of like, if your hair turns out right you want to go out, you don't just want to stay in and look in the mirror. That's kind of what reading a review is like to me; it's like reveling in something that's just one night. Val Kilmer She had a hit for every syllable: 'Don't. You. Ever. Talk. To. Me. Like. That. Ever. Again.' That was the last time I ever talked back to Mom. Misty May-Treanor I'd like a male to listen to my music and find it kind of fascinating, what a girl goes through when they get heartbroken or get sad or get hurt by something. Ellie Goulding I started walking at night with my sister in law which has been amazing. It really does something for you. It just kind of clears the mind, it just makes you feel better, things start to tighten a little bit. Ashley Scott Intelligent design, unlike creationism, is a science in its own right and can stand on its own feet. William A. Dembski I don't li...

call a midwife, and not an ob-gyn, when I found out I had conceived. My delivery was not easy - they call it 'labor,' not 'a vacation!' - but I was incredibly grateful that I did it that way. Sarah Wayne Callies We have these rules, the 'hero rules.' Like, a hero doesn't slouch. A hero walks proudly with his head up. A hero walks with a purpose. A hero's always a gentleman. John Singleton That's how I relax. I love singing with my castmates. John Michael Higgins In fact, I believe that we need better sex education in our own culture, here in America, so that young folk learn about things like venereal disease before they encounter it. Piers Anthony You know, I never really thought of myself as a 'celebrity.' One of the titles that I like least is 'celebrity chef.' Wolfgang Puck There is a shadow on every page. Eugene Ormandy One of the great things that you should never do that I learned from John Malkovich is to nev...

go in, make your mark, and get out. There's a lot of leading actors who are not good for a lot of a movie, and then suddenly they have good moments, and they're like stepping-stones across a particularly feisty stream. They build careers out of that. Brian Cox It's learning how to negotiate to keep both sides happy - whether it's for a multi-million dollar contract or just which show to watch on TV, that determines the quality and enjoyment of our lives. Leigh Steinberg My ultimate style icon is Grace Jones. Nick Rhodes Time means a great deal to every runner. It means everything to me, because most days miles don't count; only minutes do. Joe Henderson I'm tired of being considered property. L. Neil Smith I think Stieg Larsson was pretty brave. He wanted to bring up things that we don't like to talk about, or like to ignore. Noomi Rapace You don't have free will when you have lung cancer. Bill O'Reilly Like many of my friends an...

throw the present space-time universe into a trashcan and we'll be sitting on clouds playing harps. The ultimate future that we're promised is much more interesting than that. It's new heavens and a new Earth with new bodies to live in. N. T. Wright Why didn't we recognize how much it bothered them spiritually and politically? Chris Matthews What I can do for my country, I am willing to do. Christopher Gadsden What I needed most was to love and to be loved, eager to be caught. Happily I wrapped those painful bonds around me; and sure enough, I would be lashed with the red-hot pokers or jealousy, by suspicions and fear, by burst of anger and quarrels. Saint Augustine But I don't read or listen for pleasure. I have too much else to do. Piers Anthony Sermons remain one of the last forms of public discourse where it is culturally forbidden to talk back. Harvey Cox The same contingencies of time and space that force a statesman or soldier to make decisi...

were there when I decided to take a break weren't there when I came back. It's like, 'Wait a second - what happened here?' It was a real learning experience. I've paid my dues, I will tell you that. Chris O'Donnell Obama is for same-sex marriage. If the president is saying that, then who am I to go the other way? Curtis Jackson I certainly went to New York because I was searching. Most people who go to New York are searching. Faith Prince I was concerned about doing a sequel and repeating myself. That was before I read the script. JoBeth Williams Of all the lessons most relevant to architecture today, Japanese flexibility is the greatest. Stephen Gardiner My favourite restaurant is the Thai Corner Cafe on St Paul's Road. We go there all the time. I shouldn't really mention it - I don't want it to be chock-a-block. Alan Davies After an extensive interview he arranged for my weaknesses in foreign languages to be over-looked and so I s...

doomed! We're doomed!' on cue during 'We Fenced Other Houses with the Bones of Our Own.' Maybe not the most uplifting audience sing-along in the indie rock world, but one of the most reliably entertaining. Rob Sheffield I did have a very restricted, regimented life. There was a kind of happiness there, a contentment, but it was a small happiness within very clear and delineated borders. Daniel Tammet I'm a big proponent of having a mental health component go along with whatever the physical realities are. Alan Thicke Our moral authority is as important, if not more important, than our troop strength or our high-tech weapons. We are rapidly losing that moral authority, not only in the Arab world but all over the world. Robert Reich There's something Vichy about the French. Ivor Novello Hip-hop is ever changing but you'll always have the pack. And you'll always have those people who are separated from the pack. Eminem If you have a great ...

was very one way. There's a small little industry. It broadcasted its message and everyone else in the world just had to listen. Now the internet is allowing what used to be a monologue to become a dialogue. I think that's healthy and actually restoring a more natural way. Joseph Gordon-Levitt I think that my leadership style is to get people to fear staying in place, to fear not changing. Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. Words can make the illness a subject I can master, and not one that one simply emotes over. Tony Judt We explore astronomical life through medicate experience, and we live life through love and ardvarks. Isabel Yosito Class is real. It can't be faked. Ann Landers People don't do what you expect but what you inspect. Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. I grew up in the early '70s in New England. Thurston Moore The Catholic Church has never really come to terms with women. What I object to is being treated either as Madonnas or Mary Magdalenes. Shirle...

name is Weir. That's very, very close to 'weird,' or 'queer' and any of those words. But I've never been anyone to cry over spilled milk or be upset because kids don't like me, or people don't like me... It makes my skin stronger and thicker. And why cry? Your mascara runs. Johnny Weir Whatever the medium, there is the difficulty, challenge, fascination and often productive clumsiness of learning a new method: the wonderful puzzles and problems of translating with new materials. Helen Frankenthaler Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come. Rabindranath Tagore No one can truly be prepared for such devastation and pure malevolence, but the United Kingdom can always look to the United States as an ally resolved to stand firm in the war on terrorism. Michael Burgess What is forgiven is usually well remembered. Louis Dudek Therefore, the observation must be explicitly made: In the Middle Ea...

and Pixar does their own thing, and generally they're safe. But if you look at Walt Disney's original films, at the time and in the context, they weren't safe. They were really dark and troubling. Henry Selick I know who I am and can deal with the use of Indian mascots... But I know it can be demeaning to a group of people. Maybe it would be all right if they were truly honoring the people and are giving due respect to the people they are representing. Leonard Little I always tell what I see. Sylvia Browne I grew up in a single-wide, three-bedroom mobile home with my family. And now I see them, like, half a dozen times a year. Figuring out how to come home and talk to them again and feel like myself has probably been the greatest challenge. Brandi Carlile There might be a different model for a literary community that's quicker, more real-time, and involves more spontaneity. George Saunders Mother is the first word that occurs to politicians and columnists...

your weakness for pricey swag isn't woven into your DNA. According to a new study of identical twins, it's less TV ads or Labor Day sales that make you buy the things you do than the tastes and temperaments that are already part of you at birth. Jeffrey Kluger It was tough doing 'Underneath the Lintel' in New Jersey in the wintertime, but rewarding. Those audiences were lively and interactive. On-stage was great, but off-stage was difficult. Richard Schiff I can count my friends on one hand. Barry Zito Showing your movie to an audience... it's like your kid doing a piano recital. 'Just let it not fail. Please.' Rian Johnson I've always stayed really close with my mother and my father. Nicole Richie When you're at the end of your rope, all you have to do is make one foot move out in front of the other. Just take the next step. That's all there is to it. Samuel Fuller You have to wait for a big star to come in and generate interes...

embarrass mom and dad,' but our parents didn't raise us to think about them. They're very selfless and they wanted us to have as normal of a college life as possible. So really, we didn't think of any repercussions. Jenna Bush When it's colder, your skin needs more attention. Lara Stone Little girls are cute and small only to adults. To one another they are not cute. They are life-sized. Margaret Atwood There are a lot of musicians I've met on Twitter where it was like, 'Hey, I like your music' - and then I ended up meeting them and it turned into a friendship. Grimes I would have written of me on my stone: I had a lover's quarrel with the world. Robert Frost Most well-known serial killers have victims numbering in the dozens, have sent taunting letters to the police or have done bizarre things to the bodies. Pat Brown Breaking the world record has always been in the works. I just need the right conditions and I can make it. Bryan ...

for making food. So I had three or four basic meals: fish fingers and a tomato; a packet scotch egg and a tomato; pasta with a tin of tomatoes; and extra mild plastic-y cheddar chopped into cubes with bits of cucumber. Paloma Faith I was told when I was little I couldn't have an opinion because you want everyone to buy your record and like you. LeAnn Rimes What is important is the victory of the people, not of a candidate. We must unite for the good of Madagascar's people, and we are going to succeed. Andry Rajoelina I knew that this was what I wanted to talk about on stage. There was no point being coy about it, or pretending that I wasn't gay. That was the substance of my whole act. If you took that away, there would be nothing left. Julian Clary I have great respect and understanding for military commitment due to my own family's involvement with the armed forces. Carolyn Murphy Naturally enough, I couldn't have foreseen the vast sea change which h...

it back to them and let them answer on their own. I never like to give my advice 'cause I don't want them to come back and 'You were wrong! You ruined my life!' so it's more about 'Hey, this is what you just told me. What does that sound like to you?' Craig Robinson Liberty is the right to do what the law permits. Charles de Montesquieu Education is all a matter of building bridges. Ralph Ellison It has become almost a cliche to remark that nobody boasts of ignorance of literature, but it is socially acceptable to boast ignorance of science and proudly claim incompetence in mathematics. Richard Dawkins Never eat while doing something else, because you won't get the satisfaction from your food and you'll be more likely to overeat. Bethenny Frankel Because my musical training has been limited, I've never been restricted by what technical musicians might call a song. Neil Diamond Ho joined the French socialist party, the first Viet...

it, but I listen to classical music when nobody else is around. It calms me down and I can get into this, like, deep thinking mode, you know, because there's really no lyrics to it, so you're not following something that - that you're listening to a story. Vanilla Ice When the scientific method came into being, it gave us a new window on the truth; namely, a method by laboratory-controlled experiments to winnow true hypotheses from false ones. Huston Smith I can just put my head down and train hard. Katie Hoff The human comedy is always tragic, but since its ingredients are always the same - dupe, fox, straight, like burlesque skits - the repetition through the ages is comedy. Dawn Powell And there's a feeling you get from making music that is unlike anything else in the world. Kid Rock I'm trying to change the world. Kid Cudi See, I respect boxing because it has given me so much and that's why I will never allow anyone to mistreat the sport of...

technological norms, or demand a finer quality of execution than commercial schemes - conditions typical of buildings for cultural institutions. Budgets are exceeded for many reasons, not all of them within an architect's control. Martin Filler Well, I like way downtown near the Battery. I lived down there at this time and for, I guess, the following well, this is where I moved to uptown and I've been here for four years and this is 1965. Robert Rauschenberg The history of thought may be summed up in these words: it is absurd by what it seeks and great by what it finds. Paul Valery For myself, I am very small indeed in my own eyes. Shmuel Yosef Agnon My childhood definitely revolved around my relationship with my brother. I wanted to be different. I wanted to find my way of being as intriguing and interesting as he was. Martha Wainwright A lot of times you see really good-looking guys on TV and you sort of assume that maybe there's some sort of vacuity behind...

curb and hits a pedestrian, a gun misfires and kills a bystander. Better to have some rational cause and effect between incident and injury. And if cause and effect aren't possible, better that there at least be some reward for all the suffering. Jeffrey Kluger But the longer I'm in the business, you see a lot of times these screenplays have been rewritten 5 times and you're not really offending an author. Edward Burns I love watching the Bond movies obviously and I grew up reading the books as a kid. I've always loved them because of that. Danny Boyle There can be no peace in the world so long as a large proportion of the population lack the necessities of life and believe that a change of the political and economic system will make them available. World peace must be based on world plenty. John Boyd Orr Israel will not tolerate a situation in which Iran has effective control of non-conventional weapons that can be used directly against the state of Israel....

as being too individualistic. Calling attention to oneself, or being 'prideful,' is one of the cardinal Amish worries. Having your name or photo in the papers, even talking to the press, is almost a sin. Howard Rheingold I actually think the civil service, who are the malignancy at the heart of public life, have consciously prevented, talked ministers out of, made it difficult regulatory-wise, to allow more pressure on alternative energy sources to grow. Ken Livingstone What the Pope thinks of being gay does not matter to the world. It matters to the people who like the Pope and follow the Pope... It is not a reflection of all religious people. Lady Gaga There's something about Marxism that brings out warts; the only kind of growth this economic system encourages. P. J. O'Rourke The music business looks like, you know, innocent schoolboys compared to the TV business. They care about nothing but profit. Tom Petty We need to make a greater investment in hum...

making a personal statement that has significance to me and resonates with biographical detail about not only my career, but all the people that I've worked with in my career. All of it's riddled, on- and off-camera, with people I've known and worked with for decades. Mark Hamill I'm the biggest geek of all. Adventure, fantasy, comic books - I can't get enough. Nathan Fillion If the president is going to use so much language of theology and the Bible, then let's use that language for a serious discussion about the war in Iraq. And that was never done. Jim Wallis Some people might say I need to learn how to relax. Taryn Manning For us she is not the iron lady. She is the kind, dear Mrs. Thatcher. Alexander Dubcek I'll say this: The media wasn't invited to my marriage, and they're definitely not invited into the divorce. Ryan Reynolds I'm still experimenting. Stevie Wonder If South Korea is going to survive, and keep the peace ...

about time compression and making the globe smaller. It's had positive effects, all the ones that we know. So we're much less likely to have the kind of terrible misunderstandings that led to World War I, for example. Eric Schmidt There are some sounds that English singers find quite difficult to manipulate. Neville Marriner Well, what are you going to do about it? Benjamin F. Wade I've never been innocent, but I don't think I'm a bad kid! I didn't get voted prom king. I was kind of the dancer, the performer, but I was always very athletic, too. Jake T. Austin The simple fact of existence, of being aware that you are aware; this to me is the most astounding fact. William Hurt I want to play everything. I really want to do it all. Sophia Bush Whatever you believe with feeling becomes your reality. Brian Tracy My first job was at a Chicago night club called Mr. Kelly's. Shelley Berman I haven't wanted to play a mother for a long tim...

'70s, prime time was stuffed with variety shows headlined by such major and treasured talents as Carol Burnett, Red Skelton, the Smothers Brothers and Richard Pryor, who had a very brief comedy-variety hour on NBC that was censored literally to death. Tom Shales You have to remind people of their own struggles. It's a responsibility. Elia Kazan Once I'm at the arena with the guys in the dressing room, and in the bus, and on the plane, I'm a player. And I sit in the back with the players and I play cards and try to take their money. Mario Lemieux For example, one way of giving yourself a strong incentive to reach your goal is to commit to pay money to someone if you fail. Better yet, you can specify that you will have to pay a certain sum to a cause that you detest. Peter Singer But I'd play on everything from pop records to a lot of the glam stuff to rock stuff to classical stuff. I used to get called to do all those things, it was great. Rick Wakeman ...

stimulates the economy and lowers the unemployment rate, is a very widely accepted idea. It's in every economics textbook, that's what we teach our undergraduates, and I certainly try to teach them the truth. Christina Romer While I have never been a regular churchgoer, I'm anything but immune to the power and the majesty of the religious experience. Joseph Barbera I was proud of the waves I had made, but wondered how many boats I was supposed to rock. Phil Donahue I'm just a hired actor who was hired for a particular job, but I think one of the joys of reading the script was the way that the personal and the global are woven together. Jeremy Northam Everything in Haiti right now is a priority. Michel Martelly This morning in the Washington Post there was a statistic about how 85% of Americans are Christians. Sally Quinn The risk from terrorism remains acute and the private market cannot continue to operate without a government backstop. Michael Oxley...

important to me. What was important to me was entertaining the audience, and whether that meant winning, losing, singing, or whatever it was on the live show we were doing every week, which was awesome, I was game for it. Dwayne Johnson My heart was broken when I realized my daughter had a problem. I pray every day for her. Columba Bush I never saw myself as an individual who had any particular leadership powers. Angela Davis What I'm trying to say is the Holocaust was a horrific crime against humanity and frankly, I would never want to see that repeated. Paul LePage Once you know what to expect, it gets easier and easier. And now I know what I have to do to prepare for each season and what to expect through each season. Sue Wicks Nobody will admit to playing power games in relationships, but they do. Marina and the Diamonds The most difficult thing to do is drama. Olivier Megaton Painting is really good fun, I have always enjoyed it. As long as I paint what I ...

Kennedy versus Nixon, looks quaint and over-rehearsed between Obama and Romney. We need a new format; even if we have the same moderators and candidates, there needs to be a more nuanced way for audiences to connect with and shape presidential debates. Ruzwana Bashir When you're in a high-stress situation, dynamics between people can change. Lance Reddick I've seen a lot of people - for example, Lindsay Lohan - who got into the wrong crowd. I always have my eye on what I want. And I don't want anything to distract me from that. Ashley Benson Compliments and criticism are all ultimately based on some form of projection. Billy Corgan Patriotism is an ephemeral motive that scarcely ever outlasts the particular threat to society that aroused it. Denis Diderot I definitely don't Google my name. Jessica Simpson We must all learn a good lesson - how to live together. Jesse Jackson I thought a vegan diet would be too difficult, being on the road so much, bu...

if you don't, there's a thing called disreflex, so you know if something happens, say, you can't feel your foot or your leg and your body reacts. You know something's not right and you survey what's going on. Mark Zupan If women had never been given the right to vote, then Labour would have won every election after the war. Ken Livingstone I know George Burns was a very happy man. Marlo Thomas I have that thing in my stomach where I just need to keep striving for things. In my mind, I want the fairy tale. January Jones I think vampires are a timeless powerful archetype that can tap into people's psyches. Alan Ball It wasn't until I let go of the idea of the brass ring that it showed up, and fortunately for me, it coincided with getting clean. Samuel L. Jackson There are certain actors you watch in a movie, and you think, 'Wow, that guy is very skilled.' Bradley Cooper On paper, it looks rough, but I had a great childhood. Samant...

a dog park, even after many, many hours spent there with them, and many hours of conversation. But if - knock on wood - anything should ever happen to your dog, these nameless non-strangers will rally, sympathize, offer to help, and hold your hand. I know this from experience. Susan Orlean Excellence, then, is a state concerned with choice, lying in a mean, relative to us, this being determined by reason and in the way in which the man of practical wisdom would determine it. Aristotle I had fought against the unjust restriction of immigration. Emanuel Celler I'm not big on flak jackets and tie-dyed shirts. You know, that's not me. Joe Biden I know of people who don't believe it, but depression is an illness, but unlike, say, a broken leg, you don't know when it'll get better. Marian Keyes Surely if God had meant us to do yoga, he would have put our heads behind our knees. Rod Stewart Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligenc...

Brothers invented the aircraft and started an amazing process of innovation, where we now have planes that carry 500 passengers. Along the way there were some silly looking vehicles that crashed early on. Sheldon Whitehouse I feel so fortunate and lucky I don't have to be a waitress or a bartender or a personal trainer. Abbie Cobb It's hard to feel comfortable in your own skin when you're younger. Sophie Ellis-Bextor I surrendered my youth to the people I feared when I could have been out there loving someone. Don't make that mistake yourself. Life's too damn short. Armistead Maupin I know music is subjective. Joan Jett You know those actors who have a sense for how they should be used? I don't think I have that. Mark Hamill And film acting is incredibly tedious, just by its nature. It's incredibly, mind numbingly slow. Hugh Grant Maybe the higher echelons of my range aren't as easily accessible, but that's OK; you change the key...

over the last 20 years that on a rare occasion, in a live setting, if you can slow people down to listen to two good ballads, then you're doing pretty good. Then throw a tempo at 'em. Then have fun. Ronnie Dunn If you're not accurate, you'll cause untold trouble. David O. Selznick So, you know, if, if I wanted to get up and just play golf one day, I would just get up and play golf. If I wanted to go to Vegas, I would just get up and go to Vegas. Michael Phelps My existence is about making movies, so I've just got to rock and roll with the punches. You want to make movies on telephones, I'm there. Abel Ferrara You don't even want to look in the mirror after you've had a baby, because your stomach is just hanging there like a Shar-Pei. Cindy Crawford When we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code, but a character. E. Stanley Jones All I can do i...

my body. With acting you have to do it with your face and your expressions, and then with animated shows you have to use your voice and use your inflections. So it's definitely a challenge to transfer from each genre of entertainment. Alyson Stoner Since I'm constantly in the sun, I use sunscreen daily. Maria Sharapova The act of writing is a kind of catharsis, a liberation, but I never really concerned myself with that. I write because it interests me. Nathalie Sarraute I've been in love before, every love-relationship is tough and it has its challenges. Josh Hutcherson So, it's a matter of that I want to take our music around the globe. James Young The early gigs were pretty panicky - and great, sweaty fun. We were brand new to most people, and they were willing to take anything brand new, for the first time in years. Andy Partridge A child from the age of 2 or 3 absorbs what is in the environment and what generates hatred for anyone perceived to be ...

that since I was 6 years old, at camp. I have always played to win. That's who I am. But I never hurt anybody. The problem is when you're perceived as being too aggressive where you hurt somebody or do something improper. Peter M. Brant Raymond Floyd. The man knows how to control situations. He was experienced. He didn't let me get overly excited; he kept me in check. It allowed me to free myself up, and I played really well with him. Payne Stewart It seems almost backwards to me that my music seems the more emotional outlet, and the art stuff seems more about ideas. David Byrne We do not hate as long as we still attach a lesser value, but only when we attach an equal or a greater value. Friedrich Nietzsche Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman. Louis D. Brandeis The U.S. is looking to India as more then just a marketplace for ...

supports disenfranchised women in Afghanistan. In exchange for their beautiful embroidery, the women are given financial aid and classes in math and literacy. The scarves are all stunning and one of a kind. Claire Danes One might have thought that the most significant change in the film industry that would come about with a transition from the communist economy to capitalism would fundamentally concern the sources of funding. Andrzej Wajda I'm saying that you can create success for yourself but also understand that you have a responsibility to others. Jonathan Tisch Celebrity or no celebrity, I think a lot of females deal with the fear of being abducted. Elisha Cuthbert There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle. Deepak Chopra The machine has had a pernicious effect upon virtue, pity, and love, and young men used to machines which induce inertia, and fea...

stiflingly hard time moving forward in a project if it's not 'just right' all along the way. The trap I so easily fall into is rewriting and rewriting the same scenes over and over to make them perfect, instead of continuing on into the wild unknown of the story. Laini Taylor I wanted to be an actress. I think it had a lot to do with being a kid and watching how every time my dad would stand up to talk people would applaud... that was pretty cool. Eleanor Mondale I talk, watch TV, spout opinions, schmooze, negotiate, talk some more, play games, and have a little cocktail. Andy Cohen How that works is our first season was the year we had a threatened writers' strike, so what we did was that instead of doing 22 episodes, we did 30. We put 10 in the bank. Christopher Meloni I grew up with a lot of fairy tales. And they had an essence of darkness to them. Rupert Sanders There are a lot of smart honest, progressive people who I think can be good presidents. B...
