And then I think now we are - you know his - like I've always

said. His spirit is so large that we feel his presence around the show, and we always will. He will always have a voice. Katey Sagal When you've moved past a point where you're just scrambling for jobs, you think about the things that you want to do. And the things that you want to do are governed by what you've seen, what you choose to embrace. Danny Glover I'm not photographing the model in the classic sense; the model is playing a part in my photographs. It's more like theater. I always work with models I know, and I let them participate in deciding how to act their part. Kim Weston Basically, New York housing is designed by formula, with lots of restrictions. Hugh Hardy Banks are there to support businesses that have justifiable needs. Vijay Mallya Dictionary - opinion expressed as truth in alphabetical order. John Ralston Saul Football is a game about feelings and intelligence. Jose Mourinho I'll watch any show on the History Channel. ...

It's difficult to have everybody like everything you do. I don't know anybody that's perfect

and doesn't have a zit somewhere. Gordon Bethune Somehow, by just continually pestering the general public by appearing on television, they accepted me and wanted more. Chris Elliott The only joy I had was writing what was. That book was. It no longer amuses me to be all the things I was when I wrote that. But it is my story as I was then. Mary MacLane Well, its very exasperating when you can't get it right. Donald Judd Selling a book or story has never become absolutely automatic for me. Rudy Rucker A writer is a human being. He has to live with a sense of honor. Irwin Shaw I'm proud of my sexuality. Adam Lambert But, yea, I grew up in a strong Baptist background. Tim McGraw Are we not all desperate one way or another? Taylor Caldwell Egypt has suffered more ordeals than the other countries to get where it is. Tahar Ben Jelloun

We know that communication must be hampered, and its form largely determined, by the unconscious

but inevitable influence of a transmitting mechanism, whether that be of a merely mechanical or of a physiological character. Oliver Joseph Lodge The Palestinian people do not beg the world for a state, and the state can't be created through decisions and initiatives. States liberate their land first and then the political body can be established. Ismail Haniyeh Marriage brings up all the things I pushed to the back burner - the fears, the mistrust, the doubts, the insecurities. It's like opening Pandora's box. Jennifer Aniston I don't think of myself as being disabled, or able-bodied. Natalie du Toit Increasingly, Americans don't own America. Marcy Kaptur More than once, I've wished my real life had a delete key. Harlan Coben You don't have to do everything from scratch. Nobody wants to make puff pastry! Ina Garten The power of lying is much less than the power of what is not to be discussed. Mason Cooley I find myself using the word...

I was the one that put myself in rehab. I was the one that went

to my parents and said, you know, 'I have a problem and I need to take care of it.' Nicole Richie Punk was a protest against work and against boredom. It was a sign of life, a rant, a scream, a rejection of bourgeois morals. But have things improved since then? Arguably, they've got worse. Tom Hodgkinson I just wanted to compile these stories about growing up with my father and I wanted people to be able to enjoy them individually, but also the entire book as a whole. Justin Halpern We're getting closer to our nature. Clifford Geertz I'm not a person that socializes very well. Paulo Coelho The Go-Go's were like my first babies.

Neil Tennant Every career thing I do can't be perfect and sometimes my decisions are wrong. Miley Cyrus Well, I'm English. Roger Michell

A movement that we will to execute is never more than a represented movement, and

appears in a different domain from that of the executed movement, which always takes place when the image is vivid enough. Ernst Mach I don't have any elaborate uniforms; I come to the ring in a T-shirt, a pair of sneakers and some shorts. John Cena When a company is charging money for a product - as Evernote does for all above its most basic service, and same for Dropbox and SugarSync - you understand its incentive for sticking with that product. James Fallows Things are never quite as scary when you've got a best friend. Bill Watterson I think that everything I do tends to root for the underdog. Judd Apatow I was never the kind of person who cared much what people thought about me. Rene Russo Man thrives where angels would die of ecstasy and where pigs would die of disgust. Kenneth Rexroth The Masters is going to be an awesome challenge. Nigel Mansell There's no locality on the web - every market is a global market. Ethan Zuckerman You can tell ...

But there's not enough time in life to go sit at a party, have a

drink, and make idle conversation. There's too many important things to do. Just being together with my husband, spending time alone, which I have very little of. Pia Zadora I'm pretty excited about the state of TV these days. There's great opportunity for really complicated relationships, in a way that I don't really see as much in movies anymore. Paula Malcomson Yes, but I - you know, it's been such a long time, I'm sure that I've got cousins and uncles that I've never met before, you know, that I've left behind. Rafael Palmeiro You are cruising along, and then technology changes. You have to adapt. Marc Andreessen I couldn't take pictures of green rolling hills. David Byrne Like all pure creatures, cats are practical. William S. Burroughs I'll take any risk there is. Jeremy Renner I was a normal American nerd. Jack Herer You really have to be a morning person if you want to be a teacher. Alanna Ubach We are never...

Many years ago, I think I got my first insight on how an incredibly diverse

team can work together and do astonishing things, and not just misunderstand each other and fight. John P. Kotter I love Central Park. I spend a lot of time in there. I try and get in there whenever I can. Lili Taylor A dirty joke is a sort of mental rebellion. George Orwell Comedy, like sodomy, is an unnatural act. Marty Feldman Movies portray men as tough guys. Geoffrey Canada A shoe has so much more to offer than just to walk. Christian Louboutin I don't like closed systems. Jon Johansen Music has nothing to do with your technical ability.

If we are strong, and have faith in life and its richness of surprises, and

hold the rudder steadily in our hands. I am sure we will sail into quiet and pleasent waters for our old age. Freya Stark I'd work with Danny Boyle every day of the week. No matter what he was doing I would do that. Robert Carlyle Miffy has changed quite a lot since the early books, although I never realised it at the time. Dick Bruna I work out five days a week; I can't imagine not doing it. Gwen Stefani I had an obsession that I was male characters from movies. Illeana Douglas There is no free market in oil. Peter DeFazio Ancient Rome was a violent place. James Purefoy Beckett had an unerring light on things, which I much appreciated.

There is a growing awareness among brands that in order to participate in conversations that

are taking place across social networks, they must join these discussions on the basis of something that is meaningful to their customers. Simon Mainwaring Your mind knows only some things. Your inner voice, your instinct, knows everything. If you listen to what you know instinctively, it will always lead you down the right path. Henry Winkler If, for example, all the codons are triplets, then in addition to the correct reading of the message, there are two incorrect readings which we shall obtain if we do not start the grouping into sets of three at the right place. Francis Crick When you've nothing to live for, you get to thinking inside your head. Andrei Platonov What a joy it is to dance and sing! Angela Carter I really love and it is important to me to be physically fit. Marcia Cross Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours. Phil Collins I never drank except a couple sips of wine at Thanksgiving. Carol Alt I know I will n...

That some Forms of Government are preferable to others, cannot be doubted; yet neither our

Saviour, nor his Apostles have decided where that Preference is due. Charles Inglis I've got five or six unpublished stories kicking around looking for somebody to buy them. Larry Niven Today, all patients accepted for treatment at St. Jude's are treated without regard for the family's ability to pay. Everything beyond what is covered by insurance is taken care of, and for those without insurance, all of the medical costs are absorbed by the hospital. Marlo Thomas Football boots are very technical and have lots of specific requirements. Zinedine Zidane It's more fun to watch without joining in. Lionel Blue Drag wasn't always counterculture. Joni Mitchell I'm not into bikinis or other revealing clothing. Eric Bana All labour is directed towards producing some effect. Alfred Marshall Communism is a hateful thing, and a menace to peace and organized government. Grover Cleveland Colors must fit together as pieces in a puzzle or cogs in a w...

But I think I can sincerely declare that I cheerfully submit myself to every odious

name for conscience' sake; and from my soul I despise all those whose guilt, malice, or folly has made them my foes. James Otis When you're in a club or a theater or even an arena, yeah, you want visuals, you want a good light show. But Slayer has always been about the sound. We have to sound good. It has to be tight. Tom Araya Our communications services revenue growth is being driven by continued strong top-line performance in data, Internet and international - three of the fastest growing and most profitable areas within communications services.

One way to define spiritual life is getting so tired and fed up with yourself

you go on to something better, which is following Jesus. Eugene H. Peterson My thought has always been completion. Maybe you have to rebound better, shoot better, hit free throws, handle the ball, defend better. You have to do all those things in the course of a game. Isaiah Thomas This resolution is further proof that Congress stands firmly behind our troops and remains resolved to pursue those responsible for the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, until they are discovered, detained, and punished. John Doolittle I can't grow a moustache. Joe Jonas I believe that government is the servant of the people and not their master.

Rob Brydon Genre aside, I'd like to make a film about people. Sophie Marceau Vaca Diez, do not destroy our country! Evo Morales I don't have email. David Sedaris

I have to laugh internally when I'm asked in interviews what nightspots I like to

hit. I just don't have answers... so sometimes I make them up. Wentworth Miller It takes a lot of energy to be negative. You have to work at it. But smiling is painless. I'd rather spend my energy smiling. Eric Davis True science teaches, above all, to doubt and to be ignorant. Miguel de Unamuno The best advice comes from people who don't give advice. Matthew McConaughey Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth. Mike Tyson People mature at different stages and I feel I'm learning a lot.

I didn't have any friends because I didn't fit in. Chad Michael Murray There's this coming-of-age thing that's happening within me. Shia LaBeouf

There was a time when I was - after my very first record from Nashville,

I thought I might not be one of those who actually really makes it, and I may end up back in Canada, just playing clubs. And that might - this might have just been it. Shania Twain I've been married four times and caused a great deal of hurt and upset around me. Roger Moore I really miss the rehearsal process of theater. Kurtwood Smith Growing up I was as big a tomboy as you can get. Eliza Dushku I'm a big fan of film for one reason: because it is visual. Mads Mikkelsen It simply is not true that war never settles anything. Felix Frankfurter Some people misconstrue our band just to be a commercial venture. Chris Martin Work is making a living out of being bored. Karl Lagerfeld I used to go to raves, but I was never into the whistles and white gloves. Rhona Mitra O what a heaven is love! O what a hell! Thomas Dekker

Be wary of passing the judgment: obscure. To find something obscure poses no difficult, elephants

and poodles find many things obscure. Georg C. Lichtenberg Prices are important not because money is considered paramount but because prices are a fast and effective conveyor of information through a vast society in which fragmented knowledge must be coordinated. Thomas Sowell If efforts to do social work are couched in selfish motives, then they will die a premature death. Why would my efforts get politicised? I have values I inherited from my father. He helped many. Anyone, even a postman knocking on our door would get a glass of water and some sweets. Sachin Tendulkar It's an awful world out there. You've got to make people happy. Ronnie Wood I concede nothing until they throw dirt on my face. John Monks I felt highly anxious in a way that I didn't think other children were. Lena Dunham Imagination is the wide-open eye which leads us always to see truth more vividly. Christopher Fry If I'm going to do anything extreme, I want it to have consequen...

My first show was when I was a high school freshman, but it was at

the junior class dance. My older friend and bandmate booked it. Frank Iero I've lived through periods of illiquidity before. Asset prices come down. The economy slows or even goes into recession. Then the cycle re-starts. We buy at lower prices with less leverage. Stephen A. Schwarzman I think at some point during the course of the game, I will have an impact - whether it's blocking or whether it's catching the football. Terrell Owens But it's hard for a chick to do comedy. It's not as open for them. Joe Rogan Courage to be is the key to revelatory power of the feminist revolution. Mary Daly Poetry is a totally different art than film. Stan Brakhage I don't normally have time to read, so when I go away I like to take a few books. Paloma Faith I'm thankful to my family, friends, and fans for all of their support. Serena Williams I didn't start singing with my eyes open until I was 19 - that's how shy I was! Jennifer Hudson A...

I believe that whenever I want to learn something I can learn it much better

and faster by myself if I'm motivated to learn it as opposed to kind of doing it in more a standard, institutionalized way. Oren Peli One way to make a positive out of a negative is that you can put it into your work. Stephen Adly Guirgis Avoid demonizing television, computer games, and new technologies. Electronic media may compete for kids' attention, but we're not going to get kids reading by badmouthing other entertainment. Admit that TV and games can do things books can't. Jon Scieszka O earth, what changes hast thou seen! Alfred Lord Tennyson There's no formula. J. K. Rowling For me, it's all about The Dubliners by James Joyce. I love The Dead. Evan Dando I remember making up songs in my head. Kenny Chesney Great fear is concealed under daring. Lucan Small museums are great. Big museums are a drag. Peter Zumthor Good performance is about the capacity to focus and concentrate. Betty Buckley

Europe and North America, we are told, are less dependent on energy-intensive heavy industry than

in the 1960s and 1970s. It seems we squeeze more GDP out of a barrel of oil than in those benighted days. James Buchan I wouldn't know how to retire. Nile Rodgers I want to again highlight the desperate need for us to pull together - the world over - to tackle knife crime and teach everyone how sacred a life is.

Aristophanes Every job leaves its residue, a bit of extra knowledge, a new skill-set. Joel Edgerton I don't like the bullying, do-one-over style of comedy. It's so cheap. Olivia Colman Even though I am fantastic looking, I am still quite intelligent. Shah Rukh Khan Also, I am driven by a wonderful muse called alimony. Dick Schaap

I believe in mythology. I guess I share Joseph Campbell's notion that a culture or

society without mythology would die, and we're close to that. Robert Redford At about twelve I just knew, something clicked, and I knew I wanted to be an actor and my parents, to their credit, granted this 12 year old girl a chance to give it a try. Erika Christensen I am undecided whether or not the Milky Way is but one of countless others all of which form an entire system. Perhaps the light from these infinitely distant galaxies is so faint that we cannot see them. Johann Heinrich Lambert All my life is in Spain. I will stay. Paz Vega I like the work that I get to do. Famke Janssen I was very unmotivated at school. James Purefoy A good deed is a good deed. John Lee Hancock I'm not a big method actor. I'm much more superficial. Colin Quinn When you make the kind of movies I make, you get weird letters from people. David Fincher I need to learn every day. Judi Dench

Yeah, you know, if I'm having an emotional scene I do like to go off

and be by myself; not to say that I'm a method actor or anything like that, but for scenes like that that are more emotional, I do like to take that night off and not be so social. Shay Mitchell I used to feel that if I say something's wrong, I have to say how it could be made right. But what I learned from Kurt Vonnegut was that I could write stories that say I may not have a solution, but this is wrong - that's good enough. Etgar Keret 'Thank you power' is writing down the moments that are good in your life so that you can go back and reflect on them - so you've got this sort of repository of good stuff in your past. Deborah Norville I don't know if I see myself as an actress for the rest of my life. Clemence Poesy I want to be a professional. Chris Burke For the most part things never get built the way they were drawn. Maya Lin I love a pair of sexy heels with jeans, a nice jacket, or a little dress. Beyonce Knowles You're wrong i...

I do a lot of public speaking and presentations and I'll always start with a

self-deprecating joke to make everybody feel comfortable with my size because there can be hang-ups and anxieties. Warwick Davis What's interesting about books that take place in the future, even twenty years in the future, is that many of them are black or white: It's either a utopia or it's misery. The real truth is that there's going to be both things in any future, just like there is now. Albert Brooks I've been sober now for a couple of years and I'm taking my sobriety very seriously - one day at a time and I am moving forward in my career. Daniel Baldwin Social media is key to promoting the editorial posts on my website. Lauren Conrad We'll do it, we'll do it. Zinedine Zidane Diplomacy is like jazz: endless variations on a theme. Richard Holbrooke I believe in competition. Craig Benson When an analogy is really singing, it's what you want it to be. Ethan Hawke Too many religious organizations are in the business of enfor...

The great Chinese classics have always said that it's better not to fight; that the

clever man achieves his ends without violence; that a battle delayed is better than a battle fought. John Keegan I think I learned most from editing, both editing myself and having someone else edit me. It's not always easy to have someone criticize your work, your baby. But if you can swallow your ego, you can really learn from the editing. Christopher Paolini There was this thing written that I had gone into a candle store, and my hair went up in flames because of all the hair spray. First of all, I never have hair spray in my hair, and I've never even heard of this store, and my hair has never been burned. Nicollette Sheridan Everywhere, everywhere, children are the scorned people of the earth. Toni Morrison I think female drummers are great. I think there should more of them. Sean Kinney Only a writer who has the sense of evil can make goodness readable. E. M. Forster I love artists that just do what they do with so much passion and emotion. Jessica Sanch...

The quality of the Lord's church on earth, cannot be seen by any man, so

long as he lives in the world, still less how the church in process of time has turned aside from good to evil. Emanuel Swedenborg I think there are two aspects to smart environments. One is information embedded in places and things. The other is location awareness, so that devices we carry around know where we are. When you combine those two, you get a lot of possibilities. Howard Rheingold A liar begins with making falsehood appear like truth, and ends with making truth itself appear like falsehood. William Shenstone We were called The Toilets originally - we were flushed with success. Mike Peters I will not say anything about my father. Period. I don't have a dad. Vanilla Ice I thought, if ever there were a time to write a book about hope, it's now. Studs Terkel Drums just always sounded like the most fun part of that good music for me. Levon Helm We like technology because we don't have to talk to anybody. Howard Rheingold I took a gamble in beco...

I mean, I've had bartenders and waiters and waitresses make a comment about a joke

of mine, like pointing out some sort of logic error or something that I've never even thought about, and they're right. Todd Barry I went to a great church here in L.A., gave my heart to the Lord and felt freedom from things I've carried throughout my life that I just thought, 'I don't have to carry them any more.' Sheila E. At this level, the individual perceives the maintenance of the expectations of his family, group, or nation as valuable in its own right, regardless of immediate and obvious consequences. Lawrence Kohlberg There is not racial or ethnic domination of hopelessness. It's everywhere. Sidney Poitier When I was a kid, I was following black soul music. Robert Plant I don't have a Twitter account. Anna Chlumsky I love men in bed when they are sleeping. But then they have to go and wake up. Daphne Zuniga Who seeks shall find. Sophocles I think the institution of marriage is a great idea, but for me it's just an ide...

I think it's important to do a good job and not to feel that you've

got to make grand gestures, but just to get on and deliver. Theresa May We have been getting ready to recycle more e-waste by investing in infrastructure, providing grants to local government and working with industry. Jay Weatherill This is my third ABC show over the last four years, so we were afraid that nobody would find it. ABC was really struggling and so we just weren't very confident that it would find an audience. James Denton I am in Ghost Rider but I'm not sure when it's coming out. Donal Logue Don't try too hard to be something you're not. Daniel Radcliffe Wit must be foiled by wit: cut a diamond with a diamond.

Kenny Chesney I did gymnastics when I was a kid. I wasn't very good at it. Lindsey Vonn

When the time comes for your brain to process the information, the second word comes

up faster than the first one. So when it's in your head, all of a sudden, it comes out backwards and you think of the word backwards. Caitlyn Jenner Iraq did not spontaneously opt for disarmament. They did it as part of a ceasefire, so they were forced to do it, otherwise the war might have gone on. So the motivation has been very different. Hans Blix My wife even thinks our next album should be recorded in our house, and we should move all the furniture out to the garage. I'm not sure how many spouses would be supportive of that, much less come up with the idea. Brandi Carlile I have decided not to do the spa. Too time consuming. Sela Ward I find buying a bicycle is a great way to stay in touch with people. Jan Chipchase I am running for Governor of the great state of Ohio and welcome your support. Kenneth Blackwell The death penalty is being applied in the United States as a fatal lottery. Bianca Jagger Well, the first day we went through three songs, ver...

My tastes in all things lean towards the arty and boring. I like sports documentaries

about Scrabble players, bands that play quiet, unassuming music, and TV shows that win awards. In that way, I am an elitist snob. Michael Ian Black The problem is that you cannot prove yourself against someone who is much weaker than yourself. Martin Van Creveld I'm very aware of what you're talking about as I was involved with the radio in Africa in the same period as I was doing Concrete - I was doing both at the same time. Pierre Schaeffer What is the world coming to? Ozzy Osbourne If you don't fill your days with love, you are wasting your life. James Broughton When I was 15, I did not know nothing about what concerned the world of music. Maurice Jarre Elisabeth Hasselbeck could run for vice president. Joy Behar There are a million good tunes. Marian McPartland I think I'm too young to be a mogul. I think I'm too young for that. Tyra Banks Nothing has really happened until it has been recorded. Virginia Woolf

You can have a certain arrogance, and I think that's fine, but what you should

never lose is the respect for the others. Steffi Graf No excuses and no sob stories. Life is full of excuses if you're looking. I have no time to gripe over misfortune. I don't waste time looking back. Junior Seau We Americans entered a new phase in our history - the era of integration - in 1954. Constance Baker Motley When I do comedy, I lose all inhibition and introspection. I no longer care. Jessica Alba Personally, I think tying garbage bags around your head and hands is overkill.

Joss Whedon As I get older, I've been having a better and better time. Clive Owen

I continue to be a strong believer in the life-saving importance of early detection, and

I encourage everyone to be proactive about their preventive screenings. Roy Blunt I am consumed, or I have been consumed, with these issues of motherhood and the way we act out societal expectations and roles. So both my nonfiction and my fiction have been pretty much exclusively about that. Ayelet Waldman In 'Friday Night Lights,' the relationship between the coach and his wife, that marriage was something that you couldn't really understand until you actually saw it exist on film. Jason Katims So yeah, I play the piano for most of the show, but I like rock and roll. Gavin DeGraw I feel very blessed. I have had, and am having, such a lovely life. Sienna Miller Most of the film directors expect their actors to want to work fast. Yvonne Strahovski My career has been my craziest adventure. Ray Romano I think clothes hang beautifully on thin women. Lauren Conrad I don't want to follow the herd. Alain Robert I feel accomplished knowing that I'...

I want to do comedy films, serious films - I admire the actors who fly

under the radar but get loads done, pop up in a lot of good films. Craig Roberts I think rock 'n' roll would become exponentially, considerably more difficult to perform past about 65. Adam Clayton Ninety percent of the coaches in the NBA are guards, and there aren't very many big men people coaching, I happen to be one of them and when I coached, everybody on my team, including the guards, had a hook shot, so that it was their bail out shot. Tom Heinsohn This diamond has so many carats it's almost a turnip. Richard Burton I didn't know if I was heterosexual or homosexual. Michael Reagan Music is subjective to everyone's unique experience. Jared Leto Character is the result of two things: mental attitude and the way we spend our time.

Edwin Louis Cole My audition song is, and has been since 1977, ...

While The United States is the most powerful nation the world has ever seen, it

is also the most detested nation that the world has ever known. Harold Pinter I wish I was the kind of writer who would go to a war zone and write about something that's meaningful and important to people, but that's not my area of coverage. Jonathan Ames Almost everything The Beatles did was great, and it's hard to improve on. They were our Bach. The way to get around it may be to keep it as simple as possible. T Bone Burnett I'm cautious about a lot of words. James Hillman My Chemical Romance is done. But it can never die. Gerard Way People are too apt to treat God as if he were a minor royalty. Herbert Beerbohm Tree If you want to be happy, make others happy! Dada Vaswani I felt caged by my childhood. Christina Aguilera If you cannot learn to love real art, at least learn to hate sham art and reject it. William Morris People underestimate me, but I've always been a stretch runner. Sonny Bono

Jim, as just a spoken poet, was not that good. He needed the music behind

him. He felt a security and a sense of abandon when the music existed around him. Ray Manzarek The books I read I do enjoy, very much; otherwise I wouldn't read them. Most of them are for review, for the New York Review of Books, and substantial. Joyce Carol Oates Quite frankly, I'm a member of the investigative committee, one of the senior members of the panel. I don't take our investigative facts and information from a magazine or some article. John Mica I've loved it, but I have a wife and two children. Joe Mantegna I love fools' experiments. I am always making them. Charles Darwin Fame had brought me so much unhappiness. Brigitte Bardot Rhyme, that enslaved queen, that supreme charm of our poetry, that creator of our meter. Victor Hugo But there's a thin line between songwriting and arranging. Warren Zevon In some ways, my gift for music and writing was born out of tragedy, really, and loss. Joni Mitchell Beer. Now there's a te...

Ever since I've been young I've been fascinated by the human body. I've written songs

about it, but you can become quite morbid if you think about it too much - paranoid and a hypochondriac. Ellie Goulding The great day of the Fire-eater - or, should I say, the day of the great Fire-eater - has passed. Harry Houdini When I got into the sport I was so fat that my manager said he should send me to boot camp to lose the weight! Li Na I never watch TV. I'm a Radio Four addict.

You shoot it one day at a time. David Fincher

I will not seek reelection the United States Senate but will retire from public service

in January 2013. There is no reason other than the fact than I think it's time. Jon Kyl The United States lived on borrowed money for too long, inflating its financial sector unnecessarily and neglecting its small and mid-sized industrial companies. Wolfgang Schauble In centering prayer, the sacred word is not the object of the attention but rather the expression of the intention of the will.

Venus Williams Man can believe the impossible, but man can never believe the improbable. Oscar Wilde Properly speaking, history is nothing but the crimes and misfortunes of the human race. Pierre Bayle Being short works for me. Freema Agyeman

I remember when I was a kid in school and teachers would explain things to

me about what I read, and I'd think, Where did they get that? I didn't read that in there. Later you look at it and think, That's kind of an interesting idea. Norton Juster I mean it's easier to be in a demonstration if it's a trip that's one of the reasons why the whole thing fell apart in 1971, because it wasn't a trip any longer. Lester Bangs I've learned through experience that to trouble celebrities with my handshake doesn't do anybody any good. Nick Offerman I think a composer is always interested in his last work. Gyorgy Ligeti An economy is not a complicated thing; it just has a lot of moving parts. Ray Dalio But I think it's important that things endure. Robin Day In 2003, I had the pleasure of acting in three films. Janine Turner I love singin' in the car, it just makes me feel good. Scotty McCreery I think in the darkest moments, we need a break. Sonia Rykiel I'm not a role model. I say parents should...

Experiences are like hoarded gold. Whenever I dole out a piece of my private suffering,

that is when I get letters from all over the world. Greg Iles I was really so excited when it came back on air and I saw all three of the actors who played 'Doctor Who' in the new version and they've all been absolutely brilliant in their own special way, as all the Doctors always are. Sophie Aldred We all have two things in common, no matter who we are: We were born and we are going to die. Mitch Albom All phenomena are empty. Bodhidharma I will not have my son grow up in a tension-filled home. Christina Aguilera The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow. Bill Gates I'm addicted to creating and writing. Bret Michaels Germany will either be a world power or will not be at all. Adolf Hitler I've aways been good at picking up certain things, like sports and dancing. Channing Tatum I don't judge myself by what someone says. Sydney Schanberg

Our assessment of socio-economic worth is largely a sham. We scientists should not lend ourselves

to it - though we routinely do. We should, instead, insist on applying the criterion of quality. John Charles Polanyi I've written some happy songs but I can't ever play them in public because everybody will just start throwing up. Priscilla Ahn It's only because I feel like such a philistine spending all that time in hair and makeup that I started to knit. I used to spend that time studying Italian and French. Then after I had two kids, my brain turned to mush and I took up knitting. Felicity Huffman I haven't been very active in politics. Clint Eastwood We are none of us infallible not even the youngest of us. William Hepworth Thompson Ireland is a great country to die or be married in. Elizabeth Bowen I have my own studio down in Miami. Aaron Carter I came up with a story and I wrote it. E. L. James All through my young life I wanted to sing, although nobody in my family knew it. Gloria Gaynor I'm a workaholic, I always try to fill my t...

We spend billions of pounds on welfare, yet millions are trapped on welfare. It's not

worth their while going into work. David Cameron Obama seems like he tries to talk everyone into what he believes - and that's part of why we elected him, because he's a calm, reasonable guy - but behind that, there has to be some fight. You have to be able to take a few punches and throw a few punches. Dee Dee Myers When I look back on my knee-jerk reactions now, I realize I should have just taken a breath. Fred Durst I don't care about money. Lady Gaga My mum raised us on classic movies and a lot of musical theatre. Jake Gyllenhaal Stupidity combined with arrogance and a huge ego will get you a long way. Chris Lowe The number of parts that were required were just prohibitive. Jack Kilby I'm very much an Enlightenment kind of guy. Jimmy Wales We've all got a black book of missed opportunities. Jim Broadbent I've always wanted to be able to let myself go over the edge. Robin Wright

It's simple: You get a part. You play a part. You play it well. You

do your work and you go home. And what is wonderful about movies is that once they're done, they belong to the people. Once you make it, it's what they see. That's where my head is at. Denzel Washington There's not a lot of art forms where you can control your presentation and your ideas. Gerard Way When I'm down or maybe when it's close in the match, I feel like I'm still in it. I don't feel like I'm letting down. Mentally, I'm still really, really tough. Maria Sharapova I love a real-life, movie moment in living color. L'Wren Scott The United States was attacked on 9/11/12, and we know who attacked us. Leon Panetta Personally, I need a high level of physical fitness in order to feel at ease. Jurgen Klinsmann My dad believes in God, I think. I'm not sure if my mom does. I don't. Daniel Radcliffe I'm a writer, and I will write what I want to write. J. K. Rowling Some people are just born to cook and talk. ...

I realised that the only time I really enjoyed music was when I was in

the studio writing. So even though it was a six album deal, they saw quite early on that I wasn't enjoying it as I should be. I didn't feel there was anything behind it. Adam Rickitt I don't mind UFO's and ghost stories, it's just that I tend to give value to the storyteller rather than to the story itself. Robert Stack Indeed it is possible to stand with one foot on the inevitable 'banana peel' of life with both eyes peering into the Great Beyond, and still be happy, comfortable, and serene - if we will even so much as smile. Douglas Fairbanks I love my kids. I'm crazy about them. Colin Farrell I grew up as one of six kids. Billy Baldwin It is not the constitutional prerogative of the Government to determine needs. David Mamet When someone is punched in the face, you find out what they are made of. Jacques Audiard You know, I'm almost out of the habit of watching episodic television now. Dick Van Dyke I'm a singer who thi...

If you want something that's going to provide you with a lot of challenges and

a variety of different things to do, then you really can't beat a place like the Air Force. I don't mean this to sound like a recruiting pitch. But it's been a lot of fun. Michael P. Anderson I know from my own experience that there is much more to 'intelligence' than an IQ number. In fact, I hesitate to believe that any system could really reflect the complexity and uniqueness of one person's mind, or meaningfully describe the nature of his or her potential. Daniel Tammet If we have a very strong commitment, so that we can trust ourselves and be beacons of trust for others no matter what the circumstance, then we're protected from suffering the consequences of many actions. We can be protected from that pain. Sharon Salzberg You only need a few people to effect a kidnapping. Robert Bourassa When you have children, that's your main focus. Gail Porter I'm far more comfortable in my 40s than I ever was. Guy Pearce Christmas makes me h...

Americans are fighters. We're tough, resourceful and creative, and if we have the chance to

fight on a level playing field, where everyone pays a fair share and everyone has a real shot, then no one - no one can stop us. Elizabeth Warren I mean, on the television, I've got to continue to be Star Jones Reynolds. And I enjoy that. But in my real life, I'm a wife now. You can't really be bossy when you're married. Star Jones If you can learn to love yourself and all the flaws, you can love other people so much better. And that makes you so happy. Kristin Chenoweth The man who knows it can't be done counts the risk, not the reward. Elbert Hubbard I get to learn and teach something new everyday. William Hung No actor ever forgets a role, so I should have realized something was wrong. Maureen Reagan It is not with architecture that one can disseminate any political ideology. Oscar Niemeyer Politics is the art of the possible; creativity is the art of the impossible. Ben Okri Whoever has an original thing to say, it is sort of a threat to ...

And what's fascinating in The Ten Thousand Things is that although there's time, an inexorable

time of the three generations of lives, actively present, but place is the time, time doesn't really have to do with simply the human experience of it. Robert Creeley I may not believe in myself, but I believe in what I'm doing. Jimmy Page They amaze me most of those remixes. Some of them are crap. But every time I complain, someone comes up and says they are for a different market that you don't understand. Some of the New Order ones are really great, though. Peter Hook There's nothing you could say that would shock me. Laura Prepon Reducing the price of cancer drugs is a humanitarian move. Yusuf Hamied They saw me, those reckless seekers of beauty, and in a night I was famous. Lillie Langtry My mom is at my house every day, and she nags me about everything, especially hygiene. Shia LaBeouf I appreciate people who try and use language in an interesting way. Jarvis Cocker I definitely take a lot of bad pictures! Brooke Burke It hit me really h...

In terms of facial creams or lotions, I try to switch it up and stay

as natural as possible. l like Le Mer facial cream for when I have an event. It's very rich and sometimes too rich for some people, but I like it. Sanaa Lathan There are so many good authors; there's no shortage of them. Jeanne Calment I'm not afraid of death, but I resent it. I think it's unfair and irritating. Every time I see something beautiful, I not only want to return to it, but it makes me want to see other beautiful things. I know I'm not going to get to all the places I want to go. Viggo Mortensen My dad is such a good man, hard-working. Kelly Reilly Only the mad girls chase me, I think. Prince William For me, it's important to keep a level of anonymity. Ben Whishaw I asked a couple of months ago if anyone would like to start picketing the gas stations. Ron Ziegler I don't exist without writing. Jewel Go by your own conscience. Steve Chabot You can create the perfect triceps by just pushing yourself off your wall. Jean-C...

I don't think I could play a character that I couldn't relate to somehow. I'm

not unfamiliar with frustration, anger, shame, helplessness and a load of other emotions that make up our psycho-soup. I try to focus on that frustration, that sense of unfairness, and multiply it. Terry O'Quinn Shaking hands with the Queen of England was a long way from being forced to sit in the colored section of the bus going into downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. Althea Gibson Cricket makes no sense to me. I find it beautiful to watch and I like that they break for tea. That is very cool, but I don't understand. My friends from The Clash tried to explain it years and years ago, but I didn't understand what they were talking about. Jim Jarmusch I had started my love affair with Wimbledon. John Newcombe They used to call me Cam-bones because I was so skinny. Cameron Richardson As a kid, my grandma would be dancing all the time. Victor Cruz America is my country and Paris is my hometown. Gertrude Stein I will run against anybody. Usain Bolt The ...

Life... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always

a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won't be got rid of. Anita Brookner In matters of conscience, first thoughts are best. In matters of prudence, last thoughts are best. Robert Hall The third point is that for some time the UN has been talking about helping Afghanistan in the reconstruction of the country but there has never been any real commitment by the international community to provide resources for that. Lakhdar Brahimi A lot of times when you play... you get this adrenalin that blocks pain. Venus Williams You can't just buy things for the label - it's ridiculous. Roberto Cavalli We struggle to understand how any mother could kill her own children. Pat Brown A shot is only as every as good as how well it tells the story. Simon Baker Singing is and always will be a part of my life. Tammin Sursok My whole life has been about risk and reward. Michael Ovi...

I read a lot of literary theory when I was in graduate school, especially about

novels, and the best book I ever read about endings was Peter Brooks' 'Reading for the Plot. ' Lev Grossman I can be a bit grumpy. I'm full of angst, and hormones. Nicholas Hoult And it's impossible for me to read Henry James. Norman MacCaig The professionals must set a good example. A. Bartlett Giamatti Design is an unknown. Geoffrey Beene We are a nation at war - and we should act like it. Peter T. King I want to be a designer for my time. Gianni Versace I do like my life very much, yes. Elizabeth Hurley My political beliefs are my moral, quasi-religious framework. Ken Livingstone I was as repelled by the French as I was attracted by their country. Margaret Anderson

How do you create chemistry? If only I knew that! Some people say it's a

natural thing that you have with someone, and maybe it is to do with that, but I think you can work on it. Karen Gillan I think that, especially among conservatives, there's a clear understanding that there are three legs to the conservative stool. There are the free-market economics conservatives, the social conservatives, and the national-security conservatives. John Bolton I believe in pursuing my own morality. That is all I have ever stuck by. It is my own morality that really matters. Jonathan King I believe in the power of weakness. Pat Buckley It's absolutely impossible, but it has possibilities. Samuel Goldwyn Every country I go to, I learn a little bit more about myself. Dhani Jones I can't record in the morning because I sound like Barry White. Toni Braxton The wise man is he who knows the relative value of things. Dean Inge But each country has to advance and move at its own speed. Al-Waleed bin Talal I'm so unprofessional on set it...

I hadn't done just a straight-out comedy in a long time, just letting an ensemble

do really good character acting, having them carry the movie as in my earlier pictures. Brian De Palma I can't tell you how many people have asked me to show them Stray Cat Strut and that little diminished run on the C. I guess my brain is wired backwards. I don't know what possessed me to do that, but I did. Brian Setzer The war in Vietnam I thought a dreadful mistake. Stephen Ambrose I feel for those 19-year-olds who get thrust into the limelight that young. Clive Owen Besides, I'm a gypsy at heart and I like to travel around. Reba McEntire I have a relatively good track record. Pat Robertson I wanna sing about something that's sexy and edgy. Brandy Norwood What I have done in my nine year career was just a glimpse of what I can do. Randy Moss Reinventing the wheel is sometimes the right thing, when the result is the radial tire. Jonathan Gilbert I think there's every reason this 21st century will be much happier. Dalai Lama

I am and always will be an HRH. But out of personal choice I like

to be called William because that is my name and I want people to call me William - for now. Prince William China has become a major presence for most countries around the world but notably for its neighboring countries in Asia. So I think it is a common position for Japan and its Asian neighbors that we certainly would strive to maintain as much as possible friendly relations with China. Naoto Kan In the confusion we stay with each other, happy to be together, speaking without uttering a single word. Walt Whitman I really love 'The Thing.' Bong Joon-ho I was not raised with wealth or resources or any social standing to speak of. Michelle Obama Working with UNICEF made me grow up and recognize how fortunate I am. Roger Moore I really like just super dry comedy. Zach Braff Michigan is my antidote to Manhattan. This is where I come to relax. Mario Batali I am a tenor buff. I hear myself. Luciano Pavarotti The attorney general should be enforcing the law...

In the end, I play a lot of friends and I really think it's about

time that some ethnic girls get out there in the lead part. So we're developing something. Rachel True There are many actors who have inspired me: Spencer Tracy for his incredible elegance and, of course, Cary Grant. But, there's also an Italian actor I admire a great deal: Alberto Sordi. Alfred Molina It's fun to tease people about where fiction and life intersect. Dorothy Allison I'm a lucky gal. Rosie Perez Your gut is always right. Sharon Osbourne I was lucky enough to marry a wonderful chef. Mehmet Oz My movies are, more or less, very short. I'm terrified of boring an audience. Patrice Leconte There's nothing sexy about Orange County. Will Ferrell I don't expect anybody to know who I am. Nathan Fillion I'm voraciously looking to express myself in my work. I love my work. Rebecca De Mornay

I will say that Edward Norton, who plays the scout master, would be a first-rate

Eagle Scout. He's got all those techniques. If your plane crashes into the jungle somewhere, he would be the guy you would want to have with you. Wes Anderson To solve a problem it is necessary to think. It is necessary to think even to decide what facts to collect. Robert M. Hutchins I wrote the very first stories in science fiction which dealt with homosexuality, The World Well Lost and Affair With a Green Monkey. Theodore Sturgeon I learned from both my parents that you had to be clever. Mikhail Prokhorov If I don't learn something every single day, it's a wasted day. Leonard Lauder No one in the world can beat Ella Fitzgerald as a riff singer. Ethel Waters The question I should have asked is not what is the rule, but what is the principle. Andrew Fastow I pretty much borrow my entire beauty regime from my mom. Rashida Jones If young children boo me, that makes my day. Tom Felton Some girls are just born with glitter in their veins. Paris Hilt...

I knew exactly how I wanted it to play, but you are never sure until

you watch the projected images reflect off the screen. That's when you know it worked. Conrad Hall Meet them once and you're innocent; meet them twice and you're not. So if you see me having drinks again with Harvey Weinstein then, okay, you've got me. Matt Drudge Presidential primary debates are an important part of our political process. But the media has wrested complete control from the parties and candidates over everything, including the number, the format, the qualifications, and the moderators. And they've become a circus. Mark McKinnon When you're too relaxed it's not good to create. David Guetta Suddenly a mist fell from my eyes and I knew the way I had to take. Edvard Grieg The only mystery in life is why the kamikaze pilots wore helmets. Al McGuire Everybody's got a different sense of humor. It's just different styles. Colin Quinn I was extremely aggressive from the start. Emerson Fittipaldi The period western does...

When I used to do abstract paintings at school, like everyone else, the tutor said

these would make great curtains. I would always neglect the formal stuff that was going on by using colour, because colour kind of came naturally to me. Damien Hirst After I quit my band, I definitely was so full, like I'm so full I could never eat again. I had that kind of feeling where the elements, like the touring stuff, were harder for me and I definitely felt fine not experiencing it again. Jason Schwartzman It's true: one of the things that I've always thought about American society is that you never get the sort of natural politicisation of class consciousness that you would get in the United Kingdom or even in Australia. Peter Carey The film depends on the audience's belief in this relationship. Ralph Fiennes At the end of the day, love and compassion will win. Terry Waite I love to smell like roses, literally all day! Rachel Roy Moderation is the secret of survival. Manly Hall At the moment, I'm enjoying John Grisham quite a bit. Dani...

I think that when you are a teenager, it's the smartest you will ever be

in your life. Teenagers are so resilient and strong, it's just amazing. James St. James When I work with my art department on putting imagery together for my blog posts I always think, 'Would I pin this?' That really helps. Lauren Conrad The ranch was raw land when I bought it and, for better or worse, I have designed every aspect of it from the corrals, the arena, to the barn, to the house. Janine Turner School is a foretaste of life. Georg Brandes Be drawn to the visual arts for it can expand your imagination. Barbara Januszkiewicz Mellow doesn't always make for a good story, but it makes for a good life. Anne Hathaway I hope my tongue in prune juice smothers, If I belittle dogs and mothers. Ogden Nash WE used to tour quite a lot during the summer with Everton in my day. Dixie Dean I do love mythology. Jamie Campbell Bower The want of money is the root of all evil. Samuel Butler

I never read. I've never read one book... I just can't do it. Something's wrong

with me. I have what they call now is 'ADD,' like I'll read and all of a sudden I'll be thinking about shopping or... I'm not there. I drift off. I get crazy, so I don't even bother. Steve Jones Coming back to Yes is like never having left. Even when I have not been in the band, I have always felt part of it. Rick Wakeman You really don't put a value on your first win, it is priceless no matter where you are. Kurt Busch You have to do what you believe in. Ben Harper Something's been guiding me around throughout my life. Joe Namath How old am I? I'm as old as my mother told me. How's that? Charles Manson Everything I do is usually totally spontaneous. Ritchie Blackmore Summer has filled her veins with light and her heart is washed with noon. C. Day Lewis I believe that sex is good and so is the body. Pat Buckley When a nation is surrounded by weaponized nations, she has to equip herself. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

The bottom line is I'm a slow zombie guy - I'm always a slow zombie

guy but I also know I'm in the minority. Max Brooks Physical expression was my first language: Before I was an actor, I was a dancer, an acrobat, a mime and a street performer. Denis Lavant The only way to find out anything about what kinds of lives people led in any given period is to tunnel into their records and to let them speak for themselves. John Dos Passos For famous men have the whole earth as their memorial. Pericles I don't conquer, I submit. Giacomo Casanova I'm just a kid - I've got a lot of stuff to do yet. Clint Eastwood Every season I am inspired by women. Oscar de la Renta I'm in the retail business, not the circus business. Philip Green I like geography. I could tell you the capital of any country you want. Bam Margera The English have an extraordinary ability for flying into a great calm. Alexander Woollcott

I am said to be difficult of acquaintance, unwilling to meet any one half way,

and showing a social manner which is easy, not diffident, but formal and unresponsive, tending constantly to hold people off. Albert J. Nock I love TV. I love the stability of it. Gabrielle Union People appreciate it when you take some time to think about who will be listening to your jokes. Seth Meyers I'm always looking to do things that are really different from each other. Rachelle Lefevre I want to do well and I want to fit in. Ray Romano I didn't want to be known as Madonna's playboy, her boy toy. Dennis Rodman I love entertaining. Katharine McPhee All wisdom does not reside in Delhi. P. Chidambaram My advice to all interviewers is: Shut up and listen. It's harder than it sounds. Errol Morris There's rises and falls and ups and downs in all music. Tim McGraw

The best clubs in the world are always the clubs where you have a variety

of people. Like, you have the crazy people, you have the nicely dressed people, you have the office people, you have the regular guys - that makes it fun. Tiesto As long as Pete and Joe are there, it's gonna be jumping. Jay McShann Legend has it that when God created me, he gave me a big distinctive voice, a lot of boldness and no heart. Ethel Merman I'm like a really goofy home ec teacher. Alton Brown Buy the ticket, take the ride. Hunter S. Thompson Right from day one, you know when you've written a good song. Joan Armatrading I believe the scripture says that being gay is a sin. Joel Osteen I so wanted to perform, and I grasped every opportunity. Trevor Nunn Good dialogue is very important. Clive Owen This wired generation is kind of cool. LeVar Burton

She was not quite what you would call refined. She was not quite what you

would call unrefined. She was the kind of person that keeps a parrot. Mark Twain If you look around world, the great brands are Real Madrid, Manchester United. The Yankees, the Cowboys and the Lakers are there. We should aspire with the Maple Leafs to be there. Tim Leiweke I think the people who cast films tend to think of me in regard to strong women with integrity and a lot of it has been very good. Joan Allen The future is green energy, sustainability, renewable energy. Arnold Schwarzenegger My parents have been with me every step of the way. Haley Reinhart Election night is the easiest time to act like a grownup. Ron Fournier Athletics is in my blood. Haile Gebrselassie If I didn't have children, I think my life would be a failure. Yann Martel I love flying planes. Hunter Hayes It's a nonstop schedule, really. I had lost myself somewhere. Roger Andrew Taylor

I love clothes but I have spent so much of my professional life creating an

image of one kind or another that it is nice not to care about it in life and let your skin breathe. Vanessa Paradis Gratitude is not only the memory but the homage of the heart rendered to God for his goodness. Nathaniel Parker Willis I am extremely interested in how people negotiate catastrophe, not because I'm morbidly interested in it but because I'm interested in the secret of resilience; that's what I'm always exploring in the stories and the novels. Janette Turner Hospital So moderate is insisting that North Korea should open door to outside. Kim Dae Jung I drive a Mustang. A 2005 five-speed GT convertible. Bob Seger Nobody makes movies like Oliver Stone. Shia LaBeouf It's hard work to make a four-minute program look effortless and elegant. Katarina Witt Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains. Jean-Jacques Rousseau 'Never give in' was my mindset. Arlen Specter The comic book world is a tough business. Shia LaBeou...

I think Ellenor is embarrassed and ashamed and has devoted all of her energy to

the law and to helping other people get justice because it's too difficult for her to face her own struggle for justice. Camryn Manheim Admitting the force of these contentions, nevertheless, the custom of meeting together in public assembly for the consideration of the most serious, the most exalted topics of human interest is too vitally precious to be lost. Felix Adler There are a lot of impractical things about owning a Porsche. But they're all offset by the driving experience. It really is unique. Lamborghinis and Ferraris come close. And they are more powerful, but they don't handle like a Porsche. Kevin O'Leary I'm fighting against the bad poet who is prone to using too many words. Wislawa Szymborska Why would I spend $5 billion for something in order to wreck it? Rupert Murdoch You know, I'm not sure I ever even had a blind date! Peter Farrelly What I try to do is to appreciate every job I have while I'm working on it. Adam Baldwin...

I'm not driven by killer ambition. I'm not a workaholic. I'm a good team player.

I don't have to be captain, but I do want to play on a winning team. Jane Pauley My songs emerge from my life, or wherever they do, unbidden and unplanned and completely on a schedule of their own. David Crosby Life is never going to be perfect, as much as we want it to be, and I have to lead by example. Patsy Kensit Fantasy is the only canvas large enough for me to paint on.

Amy Poehler On the one hand, I'm grateful to be hired and thrilled to be paid. Christopher Durang

It's true, I had hacked into a lot of companies, and took copies of the

source code to analyze it for security bugs. If I could locate security bugs, I could become better at hacking into their systems. It was all towards becoming a better hacker. Kevin Mitnick The dark comedies tend to be in a non-releasable area. There can be romantic comedies. There can be dramas. But there's no 'dark comedy' inbox for the advertising. Gus Van Sant I felt that I ostracized myself by my behavior, by the past, by living with all the regrets of my mistakes, that I sort of wore a hair shirt and beat myself up most of the day thinking and regretting why did I make such a mistake? Why have I made so many mistakes? Sarah Ferguson I feel perhaps my heart is still in China. Jung Chang I don't like vegetables and most fruit. Emma Roberts I trust Winsor and Newton and I paint directly upon it. Edward Hopper Before the effect one believes in different causes than one does after the effect. Friedrich Nietzsche I don't know much about my biolo...

When I hear young people today complain about being bored - and the things that

keep them from being bored are generally exclusively videogames and/or computer pastimes - I just try to encourage them to go outside. Nick Offerman There were so much affairs of me created by the media... of course I was not always a true single. I had some relations, once also to a famous pop star. Gabriela Sabatini I chose to be Mrs. Johnny Cash in my life. I decided I'd allow him to be Moses and I'd be Moses' brother Aaron, picking his arms up and padding along behind him. June Carter Cash Art has absolutely changed my life. Peter Weller I want to die painting. Paul Cezanne Of poets I put Virgil first - he was greatest. Mary MacLane I'd love to be a 'Bond' girl. Samantha Barks I hate to travel with stuff. Manolo Blahnik I'm happiest when I can just be a director and watch. Iain Glen I know what to do and I go and execute. Usain Bolt

Well, you know, Thomas Jefferson, who was the author of the Declaration of Independence said

he wouldn't have any atheists in his cabinet because atheists wouldn't swear an oath to God. That was Jefferson and we have never had any Muslims in the cabinet. Pat Robertson Education, particularly higher education, will take Africa into the mainstream of globalization. John Agyekum Kufuor Since the governments are in the pockets of businesses, who's going to control this most powerful institution? Business is more powerful than politics, and it's more powerful than religion. So it's going to have to be the vigilante consumer. Anita Roddick Can you imagine - a blond Tarzan? Johnny Weissmuller I like to do things in which I'm playing someone else entirely. Brett Davern I will continue to be intelligent, I vowed, no matter how beautiful I become. Paulina Porizkova I decided to an actress because of the film 'La Dolce Vita.' Maria Grazia Cucinotta I think part of being an actor is staying private. Philip Seymour Hoffman Means we us...

Depending on where I am in the process, sometimes I have a page count and

sometimes I don't. Sometimes I have an hour count; sometimes I'm just happy to string a few words together. I do keep pretty rigorous hours, because otherwise you never get anything done. Alice Sebold Without the ability of issue groups to tell the truth, who knows what the public will believe. Paul Weyrich Ever since I was a little kid, I've felt comfortable in a suit. It all started when my mom bought me a three-piece Pierre Cardin suit. I wore that thing everywhere. Eventually I realized I was going to be the kid who got beat up in school, but I kept wearing it. Paul Feig I never played inside as a kid - even in the rain I'd go out. Anthony Doerr I think Bible principles are principles for life. Joel Osteen Ignorance is the mother of all evils. Francois Rabelais My dad recently reminded me that my grandfather's cousin was Lefty Frizzell. Parker Posey I could never be James Bond. Kevin James When I was a little kid, I was very impressed wit...

The various modes of worship which prevailed in the Roman world were all considered by

the people as equally true; by the philosopher as equally false; and by the magistrate as equally useful. Edward Gibbon Under the circumstances, may I suggest another means of encouraging probity in elective office. I refer to term limitations, which can serve ends beyond that of saving congressional souls. James L. Buckley But the debt limit obviously is something that needs to and will be passed. That is not inconsistent with a process and a belief that we have to get significant deficit reduction. David Plouffe My tastes and inspirational artists were always rather eclectic and diverse. Taylor Dayne My body is a vehicle for the mechanics of my sport. Gabrielle Reece Why would heavy metal ever go away? Scott Ian The future of the world will belong to whoever can harness energy and food. Mian Muhammad Mansha I was in the underground until I left Germany. Klaus Fuchs Posthumous reputations have little to do with real lives. Felix Dennis Treachery is noble whe...

The critical principle demanded an examination, for instance, of the contribution of different periods, thus

to some extent embarking on historical linguistics. Ferdinand de Saussure She's 32, and she has three children. She loves to be pregnant but she doesn't want anymore children in her life. So she decided to help another couple. And she's just been amazing. Cheryl Tiegs Just as Pollock used the drip to meld process and product, Richter 'found' and used the smudge and the blur to ravish the eye, creating works of psychic and physical power. Jerry Saltz I don't understand why the accent you speak in has to indicate what level of intellect you have. Paloma Faith The Galapagos Islands provide a window on time. In a geologic sense, the islands are young, yet they appear ancient. Frans Lanting Everybody will make mistakes, and for some that mistake will rise to the level of being a crime. Kamala Harris If you're clear on what you believe, you have a great foundation to go make a market. Ginni Rometty The men have piled up in my past, have fallen...

I made a Christmas album a couple of years ago and just put it out

on my Web site. It kind of smacked of this flavor. All of the reviews said it was Western swing even when it was Christmas standards. Suzy Bogguss Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. William Shakespeare To be a good draftsman was to me a blessing. John James Audubon As you get older three things happen. The first is your memory goes, and I can't remember the other two. Norman Wisdom Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives. Louise L. Hay We have two evils to fight, capitalism and racism. We must destroy both racism and capitalism. Huey Newton Talk ought always to run obliquely, not nose to nose with no chance of mental escape. Frank Moore Colby

'The Golden Compass' became a bad experience because the studio didn't have faith in the

strength of the ideas of the novel, which is ironic because it's one of the greatest fantasy novels ever written, if not the greatest, and they took the religion out of it and tried to turn it into a popcorn movie. Chris Weitz If I feel strongly, I say it. I know I can do more good by being vocal than by staying quiet. I'd have a whole lot more money if I lied, but I wouldn't enjoy spending it. Martina Navratilova I saw Ronnie Hawkins play near my hometown, Port Dover, Ontario, and I saw him play there on New Year's Eve and the following spring I booked myself to be his opening act on maybe five shows, and he hired me after the first night. Rick Danko You sort of have to become what you're wearing. Pharrell Williams I believe in status symbols. Brooks Stevens The path that went by the little house had become a road. Almost every day Laura and Mary stopped their playing and stared in surprise at a wagon slowly creaking by on that road. Laura Ingalls W...

When you speak of the press, of course, you have to speak of different

segments of the press. Reporters, straight reporters, wire services, you stick to the facts; you don't create the story, per se. You cover what is happening. Helen Thomas My way of relaxing was always doing the opposite and playing the drums, but I need to be able to actually chill. Cara Delevingne It is not true that I oppose government funding of the arts. Camille Paglia Many girls do not go to school because of poverty. Malala Yousafzai The hard part for me was being an Olympic gold medalist and having that persona; you don't see too many Olympic gold medalists go into acting. It's actually even more difficult. You're not taken very seriously, and you're looked at in a different light, so it was kind of hard for me to go straight from Olympics into acting. Kurt Angle At many a moment on many a day, I am convinced that pro football must be a game for madmen, and I must be one of them. Vince Lombardi Sylvia Plath, Rumi, there's a lot of spoke...

'No Child Left Behind' requires states and school districts to ensure that all

students are learning and are reaching their highest potential. Special education students should not be left out of these accountability mechanisms. Dianne Feinstein You couldn't have done this without killing an Arab prince. Michael Scheuer I'm a horrible public speaker. Bill Condon Both mind and heart when given up to reveries and dreaminess, have a thousand avenues open for the entrance of evil. Charles Simmons The last suit that you wear, you don't need any pockets. Wayne Dyer It is great wealth to a soul to live frugally with a contented mind. Lucretius How can you practice dancing in an airplane? There's a law against it. George Murphy

My first interest in baseball is the welfare of baseball itself. My second is the

Cincinnati Reds, and my third is Warren Giles. Warren Giles The Seahawks, their front office gets in the media; they talk a lot. Marshawn Lynch Food is important for me, but as a restaurant group, to expand, you know, we have to look where the best market are - where the best markets are. Jean-Georges Vongerichten Millions of years ago, our brains became wired to remember about 150 people as 'close friends.' Peter Diamandis I don't like when a song goes from one mood to another unless it's going to be out of sight. Britt Daniel I'm sometimes a cartoonist, and there's an audience for that, and I'm sometimes an illustrator, and there's an audience for that. Adrian Tomine I love to give. I've been a giver all my life. Tyler Perry I'm sure if Shakespeare were alive today, he'd be doing classic guitar solos on YouTube. Peter Capaldi

I probably haven't even seen ten of the films I've done. I don't get a

joy out of it, and I don't go to the movies. Robert Sean Leonard I can't switch time zones any more. London is one of my favourite places, but I'm always so zonked that I can't appreciate it. It's like a six-inch sheet of glass between me and Charing Cross Road. Douglas Coupland My job is to let everybody know what I stand for and to let my light shine. I want to show others the way I live so that hopefully they follow. I can also tell about my experiences as a Christian so that I may help bring others to Christ. LaDainian Tomlinson Most interviewers are looking for a headline. They're not skilled. They're looking for shock value. Ice T If we admit it or not, skiing is a little bit of show biz. Willy Bogner, Jr. The more time you invest in a marriage, the more valuable it becomes. Amy Grant Involvement in Afghanistan, I thought, was totally warranted. We were attacked, we attacked back, but after six months of being in Afghanistan, I though...

My dad made a film called 'Willow' when he was a young filmmaker, which screened

at the Cannes film festival, and people were booing afterwards. Bryce Dallas Howard Despite the strength of the feminist movement in the 1970s and beyond, a fable has persisted that educated women are rejected as marriage partners. Karen DeCrow When the Transportation Security Administration adopted body scanners at airports, activists wrote the Fourth Amendment on their underwear in metallic paint readable by the new devices. Dana Priest I consider myself a line drive hitter with power. I just try to put my best swing on the ball every time. Albert Pujols I get to have Sunday lunch at my mum's, pick my nephew up from school now and then: it's a very normal life. Vicky McClure Homosexuality is acceptable in the West. Najib Razak Negative emotions like hatred destroy our peace of mind. Matthieu Ricard I majored in criminal justice. I like 'CSI,' all that, '24.' I watch those shows on A&E, if I watch TV. I don't really watch TV shows. ...

The most important thing in imaging for me is the dynamic range. The dynamic range

means the tones that you can capture from highlights to dark and the bits, the depth of color that you can capture. Emmanuel Lubezki The butcher, baker, and candlestick maker have been around a lot longer than supermarkets and Wal-Mart. Joel Salatin If I'd been offered 'Spider-Man,' I probably would have done it. I don't think it's bad to go and do those things. Ben Wheatley We do not just fear our predators, we are transfixed by them. We are prone to weave stories and fables and chat endlessly about them. Peter Benchley It's true, I used to be so shy. I used to never talk, just sit back and do my thing. I was never bullied, though, and it was never like it was something that needed to be 'fixed', like being shy is a bad thing. Kendall Jenner One of my favorite films is 'Late Spring' by Yasujiro Ozu. To me, it represents film as art. Michael Arndt 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' is a great classic by Paul McCartney and John L...

You travel across the country, you visit departments, you give talks, you talk about the

work at your laboratory - what's going on, what the opportunities are there - you talk about your own research. Frank Press In the adversity of our best friends we often find something that does not displease us. Brigham Young Sound science must be our guide in choosing which problems to tackle and how to approach them. Frank Luntz Monkeys are superior to men in this: when a monkey looks into a mirror, he sees a monkey. Malcolm de Chazal I really wanted the MTV Award the most, It was a golden popcorn container and it looks really neat. Kirsten Dunst The only actress they didn't test was Garbo. Must have been her accent. Judy Holliday If civilians are going to be killed, I would rather have them be their civilians than our civilians. Stuart Symington
