In the U.S. the powerful critics of austerity such as Paul Krugman and Robert Reich

rightly identify the decline of 'labor' as a problem, and renewing trade unionism part of the solution. Our opportunity is to make the same case in the UK.
Frances O'Grady

I think that the problem is that people fear so many things and they don't live life to its fullest. And for me as an artist, if God should want me to come this Wednesday to the end of my life, so be it.
Criss Angel

If someone's criticism is completely unfounded on data, then I don't want to hear it. It doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

Lucy Hale

I can turn on some jazz guitarist, and he won't do a thing for me, if he's not playing electrically. But Jeff Beck's great to listen to.
Ritchie Blackmore

I wish the government and the Minister of Justice would address these legal and constitutional

arguments, but they refuse to. They want Canadians to go blindly into their brave new world, but it is not wise for a society to move blindly in any direction. Stockwell Day If I had not some strength of will I would make a first class drunkard. Ernest Shackleton Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises. Pedro Calderon de la Barca I don't want the kind of theater that I love and grew up seeing to die out. Jerry Herman One must think like a hero to behave like a merely decent human being.

Jacqueline McKenzie

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...

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

In order to acquire a growing and lasting respect in society, it is a good

thing, if you possess great talent, to give, early in your youth, a very hard kick to the right shin of the society that you love. After that, be a snob. Salvador Dali I was not put on this earth to listen to meat! Dana Snyder Never wait for trouble. Chuck Yeager I'm gonna put a curse on you and all your kids will be born completely naked. Jimi Hendrix Silence is foolish if we are wise, but wise if we are foolish. Charles Caleb Colton For truth is precious and divine, too rich a pearl for carnal swine. Samuel Butler They took away time, and they gave us the clock. Abdullah Ibrahim

tell you the number of films between Drugstore Cowboy and Curly Sue that I auditioned for and wanted that didn't choose me. Kelly Lynch I haven't spoken English with native speakers in several months. I've been speaking Arabic.

Douglas, Jr. It is hard to say why politicians are called servants, unless it is because a good one is hard to find. Gerald F. Lieberman

It's really rare for people to have a successful start-up in this industry without a

breakthrough product. I'll take it a step further. It has to be a radical product. It has to be something where, when people look at it, at first they say, 'I don't get it, I don't understand it. I think it's too weird, I think it's too unusual.' Marc Andreessen I try to make my bed every day for mental health. Coming home to an unmade bed or a room with clothes all over will depress me. David Alan Grier Cookbooks have all become baroque and very predictable. I'm looking for something different. A lot of chefs' cookbooks are food as it's done in the restaurants, but they are dumbed down, and I hate it when they dumb them down. Mario Batali I'm not even sure that any of us are ever ready for anything. We can be ripe, or over-ready, but what is that moment when we're actually ready? Andrea Riseborough English muffins with avocado is one of my favorite breakfasts. Mia Hamm Online media is increasingly influential in fashion. ...

Let me tell you the story about Massachusetts under Governor Romney. It did fall to

47th out of 50 in jobs creation. Wages went down when they were going up in the rest of the country. He left his successor with debt and a deficit, and manufacturing jobs left that state at twice the rate as the rest of the country. Stephanie Cutter I want people to just to see, all you got to do is have a little faith. Fantasia Barrino Each time that I have two or three days off, I'm off somewhere in California. Lizzie Brochere I can't even remember not wanting to go to film school. Danny McBride At the age when Bengali youth almost inevitably writes poetry, I was listening to European classical music.

Fishing is always a way of relaxing. Tom Felton I worked in restaurants the first half of my life. Bradley Cooper I never pretended to be a great actor. Joel McCrea Light is ...

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...

The interval between the decay of the old and the formation and establishment of the

new constitutes a period of transition which must always necessarily be one of uncertainty, confusion, error, and wild and fierce fanaticism. John C. Calhoun Where would Jesus be if no one had written the gospels? Chuck Palahniuk The paradox of reality is that no image is as compelling as the one which exists only in the mind's eye. Shana Alexander It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation. Herman Melville When we make college more affordable, we make the American dream more achievable. William J. Clinton Even a lot of kids who are gifted can be kids who feel like wimps or nerds.
