The deal we made was that if we would change our law to

invite them to come to South Dakota - that's what they wanted, the invitation - if we would change our law to invite them to come to South Dakota, he would guarantee South Dakota 400 Citibank jobs.
Bill Janklow

I went out with Robbie Williams and Liam Gallagher. I was accused of going out with many different people but that wasn't my fault.
Nicole Appleton

I was brought up on a farm, and I've learned that every opportunity that I've had in my life has come from hard work and persistence.
Susan Bysiewicz

Every 15, 20, 25 years, a new rock and roll record needs to come out and a new rock and roll band needs to come out.
Steven Adler

The real sin with Social Security is that it's a long-term rip-off and a short-term scam.
Tony Snow

I carried through well with my tennis. I got the respect by usage of the tennis racket.
Gabriela Sabatini

I think the mystery of what's out there in the universe is just very compelling.
Adam Riess

It can be very intense being an actor; it can be quite a small world. Then you speak to your friend who is a scientist and they have a completely different perspective.
Felicity Jones

I was a careless Protestant, my wife was a good Catholic, and we had six kids in seven years and I'd endorse that to everyone.
Lindsay Fox

I am comfortable with anything I sing: jazz, gospel, classical. It doesn't matter. I can do it all.
Ruben Studdard

The reaction to 'Aftermath' has been far worse than to 'A Life's Work,' yet I

find I'm perhaps a little less touched by it. In both cases, I've coped artistically by believing the criticisms weren't right. They upset me, but they didn't challenge my understanding of how to write, nor of how morality functions in literature. Rachel Cusk I'm not one to take revenge. If someone does something wrong to me I leave it in the hands of the universe to take care of that person. Lana Parrilla At the end of the day, I think that I'm making music for me as that 12-year-old kid in front of my boombox every day. I try to think about, if I'm that little kid, what would he like? Danny Brown I can't see where there is anywhere left to move. If you don't have a recount it's hard to receive any more votes. Robert Torricelli I have no friends and no enemies - only competitors. Aristotle Onassis I don't know anyone who enjoys going to the hospital. To help remedy this, I got an idea to create what a Laugh Room in the pediatr...

The monetary impacts of malaria from the household to the global level are significant.

Malaria tends to strike during harvest season, rendering families too sick and too weak to perform the work necessary to earn a living. Malaria-stricken families spend an average of over a quarter of their income on malaria treatment. Tedros Adhanom It's not in the interest of most mapping companies to make those changes as they occur, but if you give the power to local people, you can be sure that you're always getting the best information from the folks that actually drive those roads every day. Noam Bardin We are all pleased when our names are pronounced and spelled correctly. Russell M. Nelson Music and dance is part of everything in New Orleans. So I grew up appreciating it all. Dawn Richard I get things out of my system through my songs, but, because they can be about so many different things, it takes me a while to get through them emotionally. Sharon Van Etten I like to think I've changed the centre of gravity on lots of national debates. Nigel Farage I was a membe...

I don't remember any sibling rivalry growing up, because by the time I was really

conscious, Tom was going away to college. My relationship with him, which is a very close one, really developed in more recent years. David Hyde Pierce 'Yield' was completed in 1997 and released in 1998. In the spring of 1997, I had made a decision to stop taking medications that I had been taking daily since 1988. Jack Irons Science is defined in various ways, but today it is generally restricted to something which is experimental, which is repeatable, which can be predicted, and which is falsifiable. Walter Lang Obviously in Art of Noise, I'm just part of the group, and when I do film scores, it's always in collaboration with the director and other people involved. Anne Dudley It is ever the invisible that is the object of our profoundest worship. With the lover it is not the seen but the unseen that he muses upon. Christian Nestell Bovee The thing is there have been American movies that are similar to Solaris, like Alien had a lot of things that are si...

Just to be involved in anything Disney, whether it's 'Avengers Assemble' or 'Planes' or straight-to-dvd

work, it's great. Roger Craig Smith You don't have to swing hard to hit a home run. If you got the timing, it'll go. Yogi Berra My favorite hobby is matchmaking. It's a lot easier to do it in movies then in real life because in real life, people don't do what I tell them to do. Susanne Bier If not doing VICE, I probably would be selling Cokes on the beach in Vietnam. I like the sea. Shane Smith One thing I know from personal experience, judges hate it when parties talk publicly about their cases. There are a lot of things about our criminal legal system that need to be changed, and this is just one of them. Prosecutors know how to play the press. Most defendants don't. Michael Arrington I love everyone over at Netflix. They're all fantastic and an absolute joy to work with. Aaron Paul What a marvelous resource soup is for the thrifty cook - it solves the ham-bone and lamb-bone problems, the everlasting Thanksgiving turkey, the extra vegetab...

After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, the United States would enter, in

a formal way, what had been up to that date strictly a European conflict. Marcus Garvey's prophecy about the European scramble to maintain dominance over the whole world was now a reality. John Henrik Clarke I'm always mystified by the day-to-day workings of entities like Twitter that provide framework but not content, but I suppose it could be compared to the U.S. Postal Service, which manages to keep a lot of people employed doing lots of stuff other than writing letters. Susan Orlean I don't inflict horrors on readers. In my research, I've uncovered truly terrible documentations of cruelty and torture, but I leave that offstage. I always pull back and let the reader imagine the details. We all know to one degree or another the horrors of war. Alan Furst My nutritionist has done a great job in changing my diet after we established I am allergic to things like gluten - I can't eat pizza, pasta and bread. I have lost some weight, but my movement is sharper ...

Throughout its history, the members of Shearith Israel have observed Thanksgiving by reciting in synagogue

the same psalms of praise and gratitude sung by Jews all over the world on festive days like Hanukkah. Meir Soloveichik A sequel is such a daunting thing, because you don't want to lose the magic and the charm of the first one. Sandra Bullock Having a loving relationship with our spouse or with our children is what leads to the long-term happiness we all seek. Clayton Christensen My finding of myself as an artist, which I think in itself helped me to find just who I am and how I want to express myself, is entirely - in conjunction, of course, with my family, particularly my mom - founded on teachers. Uzo Aduba Agatha Christie never wrote books that just started with a dead body, and a 'Let's find out who the murderer is', which is kind of mysterious but not that mysterious. She always started with, 'How can this thing be happening; isn't it strange?' Sophie Hannah I very much want to do things my way, and I want to control the result. Hiam Ab...

I mean, I kind of remember... I'm 36 now, so it's kind of hard for

me to relate to what it was like when I was 25, or 24, but I do remember a period in time when that's how I defined who I was, by the music I listened to and the movies I went to. Liz Phair In the last four years, I heard the same thing over and over again from people: 'We've had enough,' 'Our country is drifting,' 'We've lost our way.' Ted Yoho I desire an special interest in your prayers that my faith fail not in the day of adversity. John Hawley There was never a golden era of American radio as far as I can tell. Michael Stipe The world invited me many places. Leon Wieseltier I just like making people laugh. Isaiah Mustafa As an actor, to play someone who's at war with himself, that's so interesting. Hugo Weaving Plumage features constitute a major component of courtship signals. Peter R. Grant Some people don't even know my name, but they know I am the man with the red soles. Christian Louboutin Salvatore Fe...

Cyberpunk was really a reaction against old boy sci-fi which was

about white guys in space who would come up with some kind of technological thing. Pat Cadigan Look, have whatever in your collection at home, but everybody needs a little Friday night. And really, that is Chic. Bernard Edwards I was taught to whistle as a little girl by an undertaker. I used to sit in his workshop, watching him planing wood for the coffins, and he used to whistle all the time - and eventually I started whistling, too. I can whistle anything, particularly trumpet tunes from Classic FM. Susan Hill I've been on this kick reading about the beginning of forensic science: autopsies, fingerprinting, psychological profiling. I've been reading a lot of books about forensic anthropology. Caitlin Kittredge I'm trying to go with the flow, which is not what I used to do. I used to try to micromanage my career choices. Aaron Lazar Rocket engines generally are simpler than jet engines, not more complicated. Henry Spencer As a child growing up in World ...

Though the views of members of the House and Senate are as divergent as the

people we represent, we bear the responsibility to work through our political differences and get things done. That's our job. Martha Roby Character and story are suggested by the voice in the words themselves. Jayne Anne Phillips The critic has to do more of what the book critics and art critics have done in the past. Which is give you a context for understanding the restaurant, give you a better way to appreciate it, give you the tools to go in there and be a more informed diner who can get more pleasure out of the experience. Ruth Reichl I'm literally an independent. Apolitical. So that I am not always going to be with the Left's perceived interests or the Right's perceived interests. Mary Jo White We were working on 'Senna' for a long time before we were fully financed, so we didn't actually have an editor for a while. Asif Kapadia My greatest success story has been my family. Alex Spanos Exercise mitigates the effects of stress - and s...

For the vast majority of Americans who work hard and play by the rules, paying

the bills may be hard some months, but it's something we always do. Ami Bera 'Entrepreneur' is a French word. Xavier Niel Motherhood has taught me the meaning of living in the moment and being at peace. Children don't think about yesterday, and they don't think about tomorrow. They just exist in the moment. Jessalyn Gilsig The people want to go back to the time when democracy was in full bloom. Benigno Aquino III On some level, I think we want our reading self to represent our best self. Gabrielle Zevin I just have to trust that the story is going to shake out in such a way that's going to be palatable to readers. Lynn Coady Strike the right balance between your outfit and makeup. Make a statement with one, not both. Madeline Zima I have to have breakfast, and breakfast has to be eggs! Chrissy Teigen If you have a piece by Bach, he often develops the piece to such a high level that you can hardly do much more to it. But Saint-Luc wrote ve...
