lead as normal a life as you can lead in New York City. Graydon Carter I find it not hard to make friends, but it's definitely different when I go somewhere like summer camp and everyone already knows that I'm in 'Hunger Games'... My life is still pretty normal, and I still have some really great friends. Willow Shields I know there are different kinds of actors, but I tend to have less effective relationships with actors who have a very private process - who really need to do lots of internal work, so that I become merely a witness until they're ready to share.

of mass ignorance, fear mongering by the government, and lying politicians is putting our entire system of government to a death spiral. James Bovard Years later I would hear my father say the divorce had left him dating his children. That still meant picking us up every Sunday for a matinee and, if he had the money, an early dinner somewhere. Andre Dubus III In a way, we are magicians. We are alchemists, sorcerers and wizards. We are a very strange bunch. But there is great fun in being a wizard. Billy Joel The world dies over and over again, but the skeleton always gets up and walks. Henry Miller If you're curious, London's an amazing place. David Bailey I never saw film stars at home. We had no maid, no cook, no swimming pool.

some of the excitement of poetry. Robert Morgan I love making scary faces, that's just how I grew up. Rick Baker That process by which you become a writer is a pretty lonely one.

Gabby Douglas Freedom is what beauty feels like when it can most express itself. Jacqueline Novogratz Too much attention and hoopla doesn't agree with my temperament.

locations, and interviewing the people who live there. I've visited over 90 countries thus far. Sidney Sheldon The Missouri is, perhaps, different in appearance and character from all other rivers in the world; there is a terror in its manner which is sensibly felt, the moment we enter its muddy waters from the Mississippi. George Catlin I always figure from the cradle to the grave, we all have our individual journeys, and maybe my journey was a positive one and I accomplished certain things without stepping on too many toes.

eager, annoying young actor kids who was trying to change all my lines to Russian, much to the dismay of the director and Nic Cage. Jared Leto I have an almost complete disregard of precedent, and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things have always been done.

control it, and ways to eliminate it so that the whole surface looks felt and born all at once. Helen Frankenthaler I think I have been very lucky as far as my acting career goes.

Margaret Fuller To me, Darth Vader is the epitome of evil. Manu Bennett I like to make the mundane fabulous whenever I can. Rufus Wainwright

a cultural level. It makes them grow on many levels; intellectually, because you have to learn a new language and adapt to another culture, and on a footballing level too. Vicente del Bosque I was about 14, and my friend's stepdad asked me to do a 10K with him because his son - who was more into basketball - didn't want to.

should individuals come up with following that source or not depending on their situation?

David Cronenberg I think of a piece of music as something that comes alive when it is being performed, and I feel that my role in the transmission of music is to be its best advocate at that moment. Yo-Yo Ma Dean Martin is one of my heroes. Joe Mantegna Vampires are total sexual metaphors; there's just no way around that. Alan Ball You can't really be old in L.A., it's kind of like a crime.

They just want him to get out of the way. Michelle Malkin There have been many cases in which stars have come to us first to break the news because they knew the pressure was on.

the numbers and the metrics cannot be effective on its own, but only when it is part of the whole picture - only when we see that it takes more than metrics to make up the whole. Lance Secretan I know what men want. Men want to be really, really close to someone who will leave them alone. Elayne Boosler The two hot issues are the gay issue and the abortion issue.

Leon Krier I do see an interest in writing for Twitter.

It will tell you everything you need to know. Anthony J. D'Angelo Hair loss is God's way of telling me I'm human. Bruce Willis

Throughout history power has been the vice of the ascetic. Bertrand Russell They will take a role that scares them over a role that doesn't. That's another thing I like about actors.

sides. The more that Americans declare their independence, the more the parties will have to compete for their votes using reason rather than the hateful appeals.

going for, if you're aware of that too, you can do things to help that. Alan Cumming We all know the Navy is never wrong, but in this case it was a little weak on being right. Wendell Mayes I feel that we are currently living in a world that is similar to late '50s, early '60s kind of world. Ben Gibbard What did I owe the rest of the world? Nothing.

Hugo Weaving

last few days that if you're not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone. Sarah Palin I've had a lifelong love affair with makeup. When I was a little girl, I used to take my mother's makeup and paint all of my dolls' faces, and I even painted the dog's face! Bobbi Brown 37 is a lumpy number, a bit like porridge. Six is very small and dark and cold, and whenever I was little trying to understand what sadness is I would imagine myself inside a number six and having that experience of cold and darkness. Similarly, number four is a shy number. Daniel Tammet I've been around so long, most editors think I'm dead. Elliott Erwitt I become kind of obsessive about research. James Franco Getting up every day and going through this again and again is hard. Charles Manson I wish I had known when I was in the White House what I know now about the Third World. Jimmy...

will disagree and argue that users can control what is shared with whom. But this is simply an illusion that makes us feel better about all the sharing we have done and are about to do. Ben Parr People need to put my music in a perspective where they use other established artists from the past, and almost all the names I see related to my music are great musicians.

inevitability of fate, so long as he does not understand it. Alfred Adler Tragically, policymakers have thrown horrendous amounts of taxpayer money needed for other purposes at solving an unsubstantiated emergency. It is scandalous that so many climate scientists who fully knew that Al Gore had no basis for his irresponsible claims stood mute. Burt Rutan The 'New Yorker' asked me to shoot a story on climate change in 2005, and I wound up going to Iceland to shoot a glacier. The real story wasn't the beautiful white top. It ended up being at the terminus of the glacier where it's dying. James Balog Too many whites still see blacks as a group apart. Constance Baker Motley I don't trust what this life has given me. Dennis Rodman You cannot mix sports with politics. Jackie Chan It's so much easier just to eat and work out than not eat and work out like crazy.

my thoughts, because, if a line of poetry strays into my memory, my skin bristles so that the razor ceases to act. A. E. Housman The Laboratory for Radioactivity consisted of only two rooms at the time; at a later date, when tests of radioactive substances became more extensive, it expanded into four rooms. Walther Bothe On the robot kit, I can choose very boring parts or I can choose exciting and interesting parts. That is a reflection of my personality and the kinds of things I am interested in.

it, a green man wrote it. What - doesn't make a difference! Doesn't make a difference. I think he did a good job. Cab Calloway She's been a smack addict, she's had big success in Europe in the '70s, and she's lost everything. She's been rediscovered in the '80s, and as we meet her she's just about to sign a new recording contract. Neil Tennant I'm the chief science officer of a foundation that works on the application of regenerative medicine to the problem of aging. Aubrey de Grey Anybody can be good in the country.

in the country, were to organise as a political party, they would compel the majority to organise as a political party, and the result must be disastrous to themselves. Wilfrid Laurier As an actress, I have put myself out there as an independent black woman, a single mom, a go-getter, a hustler who isn't afraid to survive. LisaRaye McCoy-Misick A new kind of mind thus beings to come into being which is based on the development of a common meaning that is constantly transforming in the process of the dialogue. David Bohm Everything we do, I'd imagine, influences everything we will do. Nick Flynn I make a lot more off the trades and Image than Marvel. Robert Kirkman I started writing seriously when I was a teenager, around 14 years old. Marie Lu It's not some great work of beauty and love to be a rock-and-roll singer. Robert Plant A life lived unexplored is a life not worth living. Kirk Hammett Thus mating of females was strictly along the lines of pat...

composing music. You put your heart and soul into it, and money. It's years of your life, it's your house remortgaged, huge emotional investment and financial investment. James Dyson Somehow, someway, you get kind of labeled this guy who was in a Freddie Prinze Jr. movie too many. And Freddie Prinze Jr. - it's not his fault, either - it's just these are the things that happen. I'm not a George Clooney; I don't have a ton of opportunities. Matthew Lillard In the world of poetry there are would-be poets, workshop poets, promising poets, lovesick poets, university poets, and a few real poets. James Broughton I got my private pilot's license in autumn 1986. Mathias Rust I like to read and write and take pictures and bike. Alex D. Linz I am a private human. Zosia Mamet The music I write, I feel, is not the kind of music for a 25-year-old. Steve Winwood I've been fascinated by the idea that evil is the absence of empathy. John Connolly ...

series if I am picked up by a limo, work only until 4, and the show is shot in Hawaii. Harry Morgan You know what Americans are really sensitive to? Issues of fairness. I think this is a modern phenomenon, born of the civil rights movement. Once you convince Americans that something is basically unfair, you've got a winning cause. Gail Collins You think that somehow they didn't come after me to get rid of me because my vote is the deciding vote in the health care bill? Then, ladies and gentlemen, you live today in a world that is so innocent as to not understand what's going on in Washington, D.C. Eric Massa Here in America, people are very professional.

rode horses day and night for like three or four months, and that got me ready for that. Robert Duvall Then the album created a tremendous furor and got me kicked off Christian television for two months, and then restored after they settled down and listened to the music and realized there was nothing wrong with it.

backfired very badly on me. Jack Dee But I think there are more good young actors now than ever. It's a medium that everyone wants to be connected with - it is such a hip medium going into the 21st century. Robert Duvall It's a complex relationship when your dad happened to be president and you are president and then you have all the amateur psychology that goes on when people try to speculate about motivations.

not a part of Congress that has made some decisions in the past that got us to where we are today. Sarah Palin You know, I'm really bad on the computer. I'm really lame, man. I read and hang out with my kids. I've turned into a five year old. Ally Walker Idle people are often bored and bored people, unless they sleep a lot, are cruel. It is not accident that boredom and cruelty are great preoccupations in our time. Renata Adler Normally, I'm so shy.

Edward Abbey Patience is sorrow's salve. Charles Churchill

of Darfur from spreading further, which means working with France to shore up Chad and the Central African Republic. Nicholas D. Kristof It is like football with coaches, like, 'We're only going to think about the next game.' It is really true, all you think is, 'Okay, we have to make a good next episode.' Matt Stone I like the idea of being so passionate about everything I do and the fact that I might wake up tomorrow and say 'I want to be a chef,' and just pour myself into that. Kat Graham One good thing about acting in film is that it's good therapy. Denzel Washington People ought to quit talking to the press. Terry McAuliffe Not everybody is Cindy Crawford. Summer Altice People always give me styling products and stuff. Rachael Leigh Cook Maybe I'll just be a good aunt. Kim Kardashian Never, never, will I accept, on issues of integrity, comparisons with the Liberal party. Pauline Marois I really love laughing. Maya Rud...

there's a little bit of leniency because there are a couple different universes. Jeremy Renner Listen once in a while. It's amazing what you can hear.

nothing else I can listen to. Every day I return to the same space to write, the music providing both the walls and the pictures on the walls. Aleksandar Hemon There's this sense of excitement because you invent and control the characters. You decide whether they live or die. I find this type of creative process tremendously stimulating. Sidney Sheldon But 18 years after the passage of the Civil Liberties Act, there still remains unfinished work to completely rectify and close this regrettable chapter in our Nation's history.

Louis Kahn I am not someone who believes I am going to find a historical scoop. Antony Beevor The latest research has revealed that women have a higher I...

its leadership fritters away every available opportunity for success and concrete achievement. Ibrahim Babangida We don't have sources who are dissidents on other sources. Should they come forward, that would be a tricky situation for us. But we're presumably acting in such a way that people feel morally compelled to continue our mission, not to screw it up. Julian Assange If your working television sits on top of your non-working television, you might be a redneck. Jeff Foxworthy Whatever can be noted historically can be found within history.

people would ask me if I wanted to go and hang out and I'd sit home and write instead. Amanda Hocking I'm a big fan of domino masks, like Zorro, or Robin. You could put a domino mask on anything, and it becomes a superhero. You put a domino mask on a milkman, and he becomes, like, Super Milkman. Gerard Way Leaders can get stuck in groupthink because they're really not listening, or they're listening only to what they want to listen to, or they actually think they're so right that they're not interested in listening.

Ridge Mountains that would give any person on 'Justified' a run for their money in the scary department. Walton Goggins We as comics do want an immediate response from the audience.

Rob Portman I always go back to Harry Truman: Should we drop an atomic bomb to save 100,000 lives? That's a hell of a decision to make. Did he make that decision by himself? No, he had advisers.

it is inconsistent with the nature of matters of fact, and to insist on its production would be unreasonable and absurd. Simon Greenleaf Aesthetically, I don't really like the blond, tan thing.

sweat. It's kind of risky writing a memoir when you're really part of a larger universe. Questlove I'll be honest with you. My kids don't watch my movies and never have. I can maybe name a film one hand that they've seen, actually, all the way through. Kevin Bacon I've always thought of myself as a role model even before being a 'celebrity.'

Technology and the use of that is going to determine our workers' ability to compete in the 21st century global marketplace. Ron Kind And I have always told the patients when I talk to them.

that most are thoroughly religious, are thoroughly wrong. Marvin Olasky In 1998 Harry Reid and I had a very close race. It was less than a tenth of a percentage point. We had a reasonable recount. There were a lot of things that I could have pursued at the time, but I just felt that at the time that I should have, you know, conceded the race. John Ensign I say grace. I'm a big believer in grace. I happen to believe in a God that made all the food and so I'm pretty grateful for that and I thank him for that.
