I have consistently made it very clear that I will vote a straight Democratic ticket,

just like I do every election. From the local Constable to the President, I will be voting for every Democrat on the ballot.
Henry Cuellar

I can be intolerably jealous and I think that's what's driven me. My ambition knows no end.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers

I fear that the rising personal bankruptcies and repossessions are the first signs of bigger problems to come and personal debt - Gordon Brown's legacy to millions of Britain's families - will hang like a millstone around the neck of the British people for years to come.
Vince Cable

It can be summed up in one sentence. Does this person have something to teach my students? No one has ever let us down.
James Lipton

Hard conditions of life are indispensable to bringing out the best in human personality.
Alexis Carrel

Well, I'm using a cane, so what? So what if they shot me sitting in a wheelchair? That's life!
Dick Clark

Inequality for gay and lesbian people is no longer a debatable issue in either church or state.
John Shelby Spong

Many countries persecute their own citizens and intern them in prisons or concentration camps. Oppression is becoming more and more a part of the systems.
Alva Myrdal

There are people all over the world who are willing to exploit others. You can't just point the finger at America.
Arlo Guthrie

If you're going to buy a real book, a paper book, there better be a good reason. Perhaps scarcity is one of those reasons.

When I was 17, I worked in a mentoring program in Harlem designed to improve

the community. That's when I first gained an appreciation of the Harlem Renaissance, a time when African-Americans rose to prominence in American culture. For the first time, they were taken seriously as artists, musicians, writers, athletes, and as political thinkers. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar I only make movies that are interesting to me. Brian Grazer I wouldn't say I was organised at all. I just have to prioritise. Is it more important for them to be organised, or to have their dinner, do you know what I mean? Jo Brand The courage in journalism is sticking up for the unpopular, not the popular. Geraldo Rivera A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy dare live. Bertrand Russell I think Mick Jagger would be astounded and amazed if he realized that to many people he is not a sex symbol, but a mother image. David Bowie I enjoy my job as long as I can create a character, otherwise it's boring. Jav

That's what I think our jobs as parents are, to educate as much as possible...

I tell them to follow their bliss. The people who follow their bliss in this world tend to be the more happier people. Art Alexakis The only time I waste is time I spend doing something that, in my gut, I know I shouldn't. If I choose to spend time playing video games or sleeping in, then it's time well spent, because I chose to do it. I did it for a reason - to relax, to decompress or to feel good, and that was what I wanted to do. Simon Sinek Meat workers may have been looked down upon socially, but at least they were well-paid and were a fit and lively bunch as a result of hard, honest physical work. Michael Leunig I decided that I wanted a farm back in 1940 when I was with the Dodgers. I tried to find one within commuting distance of New York. Larry MacPhail Oh God, are you supposed to collect things? I don't collect things. I like throwing things away. Caitlin Moran My first phone was two tin cans tied together with string, and it worked pretty good. Do

It had to happen to me sometime: sooner or later, I would have to lose

sight of the cutting edge. That moment every technical person fears - the fall into knowledge exhaustion, obsolescence, techno-fuddy-duddyism - there was no reason to think I could escape it forever. Ellen Ullman Innovation and its allure can be dangerous. It can draw you away from the user, from the intended outcome, and may be the ultimate demise of otherwise great intentions. Mark Brand My voice is different, but I don't think I'm the only one with a different take on pop music. Charli XCX In South Africa, we drive on the left-hand side, and most of the cars are standard, so I learned with a full-gear transmission with a clutch and hill starts. I've never driven an automatic until I came to Canada. Jodi Balfour Mexico has 44 treaties with other countries that make it very advantageous to do international shipping from Mexico rather than from the United States. Wilbur Ross Winning HOYS set me up for the future and prepared me for riding in front of lots of

Given Pounds and five years, and an ordinary man can in the ordinary course, without

any undue haste or putting any pressure upon his taste, surround himself with books, all in his own language, and thence forward have at least one place in the world. Augustine Birrell Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud, and that the major cancer research organizations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them. Linus Pauling A Bush Administration will, I believe, enjoy a better relationship with the new Congress, although President-elect Bush will be faced with real challenges in getting along with the Congress. Richard V. Allen I once thought that I was the only man that persevered to be the friend of the white man, but since they have come and cleaned out our lodges, horses, and everything else, it is hard for to believe the white man any more. Black Kettle When you finish a poem, it clicks shut like the top of a jewel box, but prose is endless. I haven't experienced an awful lot of clicking shut! Kenneth Koch I thin

As a Midlander and a big walker, I'd always loved ridge and furrow

fields, the plough-marked land as it was when it was enclosed. It is the landscape giving you a story of lives that ended with the arrival of sheep. Jim Crace I think it's really rare to see women on television who are brilliant, selfish, vain, fallible - and I feel like I have all those capacities in myself, so it's good to see people in the media representing all of those things. Kerry Bishe I never went after fame. It fell into my lap. Caitlyn Jenner My mom and dad were actors when they were younger and had a horrible experience of it. My dad became a literary agent and my mom a casting director. Daniel Radcliffe I have this idea of trying to catalog all the genes on the planet. Craig Venter The wind from the Kingdom of Heaven has blown all over the world, and shall blow for centuries yet. George William Russell I always said if I played a drag queen, I'd want to create a template with the realness they talk about in 'Paris Is Burning.' Billy P

We use our land for hunting, fishing, hiking, and to create jobs. Our outdoor

economy is a billion dollar economic engine for the state that creates jobs. Ryan Zinke Success can be as simple as the warm feeling you get when you smile at a stranger, someone you know must be lonely, and having that stranger return your smile. It can be the bringing of a child into the world and raising that child to be a good man or woman. Maryanne Trump Barry To be in an Intercontinental title match at WrestleMania, that is the stuff dreams are made of. Dean Ambrose I've learnt to be happy by myself. Missy Elliott I am thrilled to be dame. It's one of those - the fact that you have been honored by your country is what it's all about, and it just feels good right there. Julie Andrews I was in the National Academy of Fine Arts and Design, on a scholarship. I was - still am - an artist. They were looking for an actor for 'Take a Giant Step,' and a producer liked my look and asked if I could act. I said, 'Yep!' Then I got into acting more or less just to

We haven't played that many of them because all our gear was over here waiting

for us when we could get here. So we didn't get to rehearse any of the new stuff, so we have planned to play 3 or 4 new ones. Kerry King Most American media outlets that are controlled by Jews seem to be reflexively, or at least habitually, anti-Israel. Conrad Black I used to have a pony but I outgrew it and I do dream that one day I will live in the country and have lots of horses and be like a proper English lady who goes hunting and everything. Georgia Jagger My memory is not even what most people's is, much less what it oughta be for a discussion like this. Warren Zevon We have always been taught that navigation is the result of civilization, but modern archeology has demonstrated very clearly that this is not so. Thor Heyerdahl Whether you are a twelve-year-old princess or a twelve-year-old regular kid, you need to know you are loved and respected. Kathryn Lasky My favorite Aspen memory is saving an upside-down cake that had exploded from the high altitud

I'm not a computer guy. I'm like an anthropologist. I'm fascinated with people's obsessions. I've

learned to wear them. William Gibson What's exciting about theatre is observing human behaviour. You're constantly making judgments about body language, the physical, the emotional, the intellectual. Hattie Morahan The great thing coming from sports is you understand the concept of a team. It leaves no room for being selfish, and that's something I picked up from home. Michael Strahan The brutalities of a fight with bare hands, the crushed nasal bones, maimed lips, and other disfigurements, which call for the utter abolition of boxing in the interests of humanity, at once disappear when the contestants cover their hands with large, soft-leather gloves. John Boyle O'Reilly I know more about what it's like to be elderly and infirm and kind of stupid, the way you get forgetful, but on the other hand I'm a littler, wiser, dare we say? The word 'wisdom' has kind of faded out of our vocabulary, but yeah, I'm a little wiser. John Updike I swi

A cardinal rule in budgeting and saving is to pay yourself first. Once your paycheck

hits your account, wisdom has it that you should move some amount to savings even before you pay the bills. John Rampton For a natural look, I just use a little concealer and mascara. Anna Ewers Early on, I played a Chinese delivery person, and even that, which was very innocuous, felt like I was somehow betraying myself. I felt very self-conscious on set doing that role, with a crew that was almost entirely white. John Cho What we're most aware of in 'Eight-Legged Freaks' is how similar it is to other movies, a recombinant mutated species itself, the product of the crossbreeding of the suffering-from-gigantism movies of the 1950s and the 1990 B-picture classic 'Tremors.' Elvis Mitchell San Diego is the best city in the world. Eric Weddle GMOs play a central role in meeting the challenge of providing affordable and nutritious food to consumers all over the world. Mike Pompeo I think I might have played a song on piano or guitar in a school talent s

A lot of consumers actively enjoy advertising, especially fashion print ads and clever TV commercials.

The nostalgic cable channel TVLand features not only vintage shows but also vintage commercials. Virginia Postrel We've all been disappointed by new installments of the stories we love. But with all this talk of filmmakers 'ruining our childhood,' we forget that right now is someone else's childhood. This is their time. And I have to build something that can take them to the same place those earlier films took us. Colin Trevorrow I am against boycotts in general: boycotts against us as well as anything and everything that can be boycotted. Ada Yonath Till this day, people stop me in the supermarket, and they're like, 'Oh, we're so proud of you!' Tessanne Chin I find religion and spirituality fascinating. I would like to believe this isn't the end and there's something more, but I can't convince the rational part of me that that makes any sense whatsoever. George R. R. Martin There's nothing I love more in life than turning
