far as getting the computer working. All of my kids, it's amazing. Like everybody's kids, they're more savvy than I am, probably. Chris O'Donnell I think I'm probably quite geeky in a lot of ways. I'm pretty into books, kind of obsessive about that. Alice Eve With so many of our fundamental rights hanging in the balance, it is not good enough to simply roll the dice, hoping a nominee has changed his past views. It's not good enough to think, 'This is the best we can expect from this president'. Barbara Boxer The English contribution to world cuisine - the chip. John Cleese I ran to my marriage, I was happily ready to take on marriage. Mark Ruffalo Tolerance is the price we pay for living in a free, pluralistic society.

was halfway through high school - so right around the time he's going through his big renaissance is right when I'm starting to do my high school revolting. Colin Hanks I am a Facebook voyeur. I feel bad about it because I never put anything on there, but I find it fun to sit there and watch peoples' lives go by. Or whatever lives they're presenting. Eddie Kaye Thomas Science is the search for truth, that is the effort to understand the world: it involves the rejection of bias, of dogma, of revelation, but not the rejection of morality.

need to find a better way to increase minority opportunities. Marvin Olasky I think it sort of dawns on you that if you're not gigging constantly you're not actually relevant. You may be relevant to a different part of the media now, to television commissioners and editors, but to a young live-comedy audience you're not, really. Johnny Vegas While American taxes pay for much of the research and development that goes into creating the new, life-saving drugs, American consumers continue to subsidize the cost of the drugs for consumers across the world.

hanging out all day playing golf and going to the beach, all my own age. We'd be laughing and having a good time and getting loopy on our prescription drugs. Driving golf carts around. I can't wait. Cameron Diaz Facebook is at the forefront. It's the company that can fundamentally change the way information is being exchanged and processed. It can be the basis for artificial intelligence to develop over time. Yuri Milner Wonder is that possession of the mind that enchants the emotions while never surrendering reason. It is a grasp on reality that does not need constant high points in order to be maintained, nor is it made vulnerable by the low points of life's struggle. Ravi Zacharias When will government cease being a nuisance to everybody? Charles Olson Our idea is simply to play the songs and to emphasize our musicianship. Krist Novoselic I was fired by 'America's Next Top Model' on my birthday. Paulina Porizkova Hitler was good in the b...

the fact that I'm a girl, ever. That's obvious, isn't it? Danica Patrick The Oscar changed everything. Better salary, working with better people, better projects, more exposure, less privacy.

path less traveled; that knowingly step up to serve, even though our country is tearing itself apart with things like political machinations. Steve Daines The worship of youth has diminished - perhaps generally - in recent years. Vince Cable The experiences of promoting my first album were really something; there is so much illusion in my environment (touring and pop music) that I wanted to clear away. Duncan Sheik I am composing like a god, as if it simply had to be done as it has been done. Franz Schubert We absolutely need to reform the Congressional budget-writing process. Patrick McHenry There's only so far you can go before you say enough is enough. Jennifer Granholm When you don't have people in your life pushing you, can you push yourself?

of ballooning across it. I have a great time at Lewa. There's more rhinos than you'll find anywhere. A great part for the children is you can ride horses with the giraffes and the zebra. Mark Burnett Before Katrina, you didn't see criticism of the Bush administration in the media. Here they are, stealing elections, enacting illegal wars, huge crimes against humanity and democracy, and you didn't even see criticism. It wasn't until Katrina that people started to come down on them. Ani DiFranco We are mandating forces to hold regular neighbourhood beat meetings. These meetings will give local people the chance to scrutinise the work of their local police. Theresa May Sometimes doing the forbidden can be nice. Alain Robert I don't understand what modern clothes are about at all. Julie Harris Nonviolence is fine as long as it works. Malcolm X We are all descendants of Adam, and we are all products of racial miscegenation. Lester B. Pearson I don...

view that we have got the working class, the middle class and the upper class, I think it is more complicated than that. Ed Miliband I feel like I'm really honest in my interviews, to a fault. I've lost friends over it. Major friends. And I'm heartbroken about that. Shia LaBeouf A Bond girl must be a strong and independent woman, but at the same time charming and sensual. Those opposite qualities combined together make her interesting. She must be strong but at the same time feminine. Olga Kurylenko Since Sven Goran Eriksson took over, England have been fantastic. Franz Beckenbauer I cast unusual people in my movies. Albert Brooks I'm Phil Knight, and I don't believe in advertising. Phil Knight Anything that raises any internal honesty about gay life is inherently suspect. Andrew Sullivan He who is reluctant to recognize me opposes me. Frantz Fanon Every blessed one of you feels better for that burst of laughter. Ivor Novello You can almos...

as well written as 'Midnight's Children.' Why aren't people reading 'Midnight's Children?' Nobody knows why these phenomenons happen but they're great. Denise Mina Well, I feel that everybody in the country knows me. I think people know who I am, and that I'm deputy leader of the Labour party, and that I'm out there talking about their big choice for the future. Harriet Harman I've never fallen in love right off the bat. I get scared to say I love you too soon because it means so much. It means you're not seeing an end to things.

Vince Carter That is a good question for you to ask, not a wise question for me to answer. Anthony Eden At times I make music, but in private.

it, but if you don't like the health insurance you have, you should be able to choose something else. Ron Wyden I have walked into the palaces of kings and queens and into the houses of presidents. And much more. But I could not walk into a hotel in America and get a cup of coffee, and that made me mad. Josephine Baker As writers become more numerous, it is natural for readers to become more indolent; whence must necessarily arise a desire of attaining knowledge with the greatest possible ease.

the thing that makes me despair: the idea that people aren't given equality of opportunity. Zadie Smith It's easier to learn things for life by the age of 12 and not the age of 18.

same way, and because you can always choose similarities and differences to fit current needs. James Fallows The primary thing I should do, apart from being a good husband, brother, son, and friend, is to be a citizen activist. But I'm afraid it takes away from the writing. Not that anything depends on whether I put an essay in 'The Nation' or not. But you want to participate. Tony Kushner Early in last season, George was very worried about other people's emotions, especially how they saw her, and felt she was outside looking in.

woman is this ball buster and the guy is sort of weak and spineless. And that's never been my experience in a relationship. I think it's much more interesting that the guy is the boss. And there are stakes. Whitney Cummings There are cognitive processes and limbic reactions associated with basic emotions. And you can change brain chemistry, but you're still not going to change memories and experiences in a human being. Helen Fisher Why pay a fee for Internet content when a million free sites are just a click away? There's no incentive until people are too addicted to the Net to turn off their computers, yet are bored with what's available. Nathan Myhrvold I'm OK: I don't need money. Manolo Blahnik I'm not a film snob. Tracey Ullman Factory farming's evil; you know that. Eric Ripert From the first time I saw Sid Caesar be funny I knew that's what I had to do.

to catch up on it when I can; it's one of my favorite shows. Morena Baccarin I'm always trying to reach a transcendent point, a romantic point, but reach it in a really unconventional way, a really profane way. To get to that romantic, touching, heartbreaking place, but through a lot of acts of profanity.

Wilson That was our first major tour and we got a chance to play in front of like 5000 people every day so it was like a Rock and Roll boot camp for us really, we learned a lot and made a lot of good friends. Adam Rich I'm thought of as a celebrity. Everything I've ever done... has been for children. As long as I was working constantly, that was fine, because, although I don't have any children, I do relate better to them than adults. Jack Wild Love other human beings as you would love yourself.

with very strong archetypes operating. You know, the guilty girl being pursued, falling, all kinds of stuff that we see in our dreams all the time. Brian De Palma Regardless of the business aspect of things, is there a reason that there isn't a female Hitchcock or a female Scorsese or a female Spielberg? I don't know. I think it's a medium that really is built for the male gaze and for a male sensibility. Bret Easton Ellis You can't have a decent food culture without a decent coffee culture: the two things grow up together. Adam Gopnik I love mysteries on television - the more psychologically complex, the better. Rebecca Eaton You don't want to make an enemy of Piers Morgan.

lot of women of fire and sexuality like an animal - so I'm cold on one side and fiery on the other. Emmanuelle Beart If you have a brother or sister, tell them you love them every day - that's the most beautiful thing. I told my sister how much I loved her every day. That's the only reason I'm OK right now. Amaury Nolasco When I know the data that's being shared and I'm asked explicitly for my consent, I want some sites to understand my habits.

film. You certainly discover that you need to explain more about a character. Rowan Atkinson Getting married and then having children just centered me and grounded my values. It was like a whole new world. It started happening in New York with a little play called Cruise Control, where I relaxed, and then I kept getting work in Hollywood till this series happened. Patricia Richardson My father, who educated his children on worldly principles, gave us much money, considering our age; not in order that we might spend it, but, as he said, to accustom us to possess money without spending it. The result was, that it led me and my brother into many sins. George Muller When I write a book, I'm making it the best book I can. Thomas Perry It was tumultuous, it was crazy, but I would not trade it for anything. Colin Quinn I don't avoid confrontation, people should know that.

art schools and was rejected by all seven. Janet Echelman I feel completely fortunate to have this outlet for something I don't really feel like I have a choice in, to make music.

Ronald Lauder The way I work, typically, I do everything at the very last minute. Ayumi Hamasaki Scientific thought and its creation is the common and shared heritage of mankind.

has them perceived by others as though they were the elements of their lives. Paul Simon When you're in your 20s, there's maybe a little room for you to not be at the top of your artistic game, if you look good on a magazine cover. When you're not on the cover of the magazines anymore, then you realize that the work has to be great. Tori Amos I'm very impressed by St. Patrick's. Another deity to me is definitely Saks Fifth Avenue. Someone told me that when they go to Vermont, they feel like they're home. I'm that way at Saks.

and just see what will happen to them when I let them loose! Judy Blume It is clear that there needs to be a closer working relationship between the United States and India.

I like being in a horror movie. I'm a fan. My perspective's a little different just because I get to participate as well as spectate. Nathan Fillion The thing is, I have a zillion apps, and I'm always looking for the perfect arrangement for them, so scrambling my home screen is part of that eternal quest. Susan Orlean I can't tell you where a poem comes from, what it is, or what it is for: nor can any other man.

charts thanks to you all. I pray that keeps moving up and with your help it will. LaToya London My dad was a musician, it was just what he did, like another guy's dad drives a meat truck. Our house was normal. We weren't taken with the fact our dad was a musician. Branford Marsalis Certain days I think definitely because we went in there and we got Saddam and that was our mission.

William Perry Wild animals would not stay in a country where there were so many people. Pa did not like to stay, either. He liked a country where the wild animals lived without being afraid. Laura Ingalls Wilder 'Moonwalking with Einstein' refers to a memory device I used when I memorized a deck of playing cards at the U.S. Memory Championship.
