Given my last position, that I was the first U.S attorney post 9/11 in New

Jersey, I understand acutely the pain and sorrow and upset of the family members who lost loved ones that day at the hands of radical Muslim extremists. And their sensitivities and concerns have to be taken into account.
Chris Christie

My art teacher in junior high was a very out gay man and a mentor to me. He would tell us about Greenwich Village and show us the 'Village Voice' and describe his life, but it was all sort of subversive and below the radar.
Gus Van Sant

Life presents you with so many decisions. A lot of times, they're right in front of your face and they're really difficult, but we must make them.
Brittany Murphy

'Walking the Bible' describes the year that I spent retracing the five books of Moses through the desert, and I was actually working on a follow-up, which would look at the rest of the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament.
Bruce Feiler

When I left Van Halen, I went in the studio and made a CD called Marching to Mars with all studio musicians. I did it immediately. With the disappointment riding on my shoulders of the breakup of the band.
Sammy Hagar

Children that are raised in a home with a married mother and father consistently do better in every measure of well-being than their peers who come from divorced or step-parent, single-parent, cohabiting homes.
Todd Tiahrt

The poor are discussed as this homogeneous mash, like porridge. The idea that they might be individuals, and be where they are for very different, diverse reasons, again seems to escape some people.
J. K. Rowling

My mother gets all mad at me if I stay in a hotel. I'm 31-years-old, and I don't want to sleep on a sleeping bag down in the basement. It's humiliating.
Ben Affleck

I really feel confident about my dancing now, so I hope there could be a place for me in the West End or on Broadway - maybe a musical, maybe my own show.
Katherine Jenkins

That's my personal view I would say most in my caucus agree with that but

there are some who don't and I've always said that on these kinds of moral issues, people have the right to their own opinions. Stephen Harper When you're not blond and thin, you come up with a personality real quick. Kathy Najimy The first ingredient in conversation is truth, the next good sense, the third good humor, and the fourth wit. William Temple I would hope they would be our fellow artists, rather than trying to emulate or idolize clowns like us. Maynard James Keenan Let me give you a definition of ethics: It is good to maintain and further life it is bad to damage and destroy life. Albert Schweitzer The disappearance of a sense of responsibility is the most far-reaching consequence of submission to authority. Stanley Milgram Life is not over because you have diabetes. Make the most of what you have, be grateful. Dale Evans I am certainly not an intellectual relativist, nor a moral relativist. Edward Tufte

It is our Party's unshakeable stand to prevent a new war from breaking out on the

Korean peninsula and accelerate economic construction in a peaceful environment, thus resolving at an early date the problems related with the people's livelihood. Kim Jong-un We need to pay our dues to live on this earth; we need to pay the rent, and I'm doing that with the work we are carrying out here in Patagonia. Douglas Tompkins I would like to thank all my captains who believed in me and backed me to the hilt. I also thank our greatest partner, the Indian cricket fan, for all the love, support, and memories. Virender Sehwag CASIS has to succeed because for it not to succeed would be a huge setback for the International Space Station program. Alan Stern I go back to things all the time. It's really nice, too, like when I'm going through some kind of a writer's block, and I'm feeling uninspired, I go to some of my oldest songs from over the years and sift through them, and one thing that's very nice is to see how I've grown up a little bit. A litt...

I think one of the funniest things about '30 Rock' is that Liz Lemon is

sort of like Buster Keaton - she's always the fool, the joke is always on her. Cristin Milioti There is this sense of David Cameron leading a Government that's badly out of touch with ordinary people's lives. I'd absolutely welcome the opportunity to show all political leaders what life is like for most people. Frances O'Grady This sweet, blessed, God-inspired place called America is a champion that has absorbed some blows. But while we bend, we don't break. This is no dark hour; this is the dawn before we remember who we are. Artur Davis As far as I'm concerned, I didn't dream - ever. Theodore Sturgeon Words fall short sometimes. Jeff Bridges Consciousness is the glory of creation. James Broughton I am very, very anti-slasher. Cassandra Peterson I try to avoid barbecue potato chips. They're my weakness. Gwyneth Paltrow All things are lessons that God would have us learn. Iyanla Vanzant I listen mostly to classical music. ...

The film I think was a good film for what it was designed for. It

was for kids. Unfortunately the critics slashed it before it even started but that is just the way the cookie crumbles. Justin Guarini All institutions have lapses, even great ones, especially by individual rogue employees - famously in recent years at 'The Washington Post,' 'The New York Times,' and the three original TV networks. Carl Bernstein I was obsessed with this idea that these things that you collect, they just say so much about who you are. I can't say it came from hard-nosed business analysis... It was just something I really want to see built. Ben Silbermann You are not going to get peace with millions of armed men. The chariot of peace cannot advance over a road littered with cannon. David Lloyd I definitely have a family. I have a boyfriend who has kids, and we do normal things every day, like get up and go to school. Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. Tina Yothers When we talk about the healthcare crisis in America we've got to also ...

Business has to have a seat at the table. Infrastructure isn't going to

be built properly if business doesn't have a seat at the table. A school is not going to happen if businesses don't work with schools about what kind of jobs they really need. Jamie Dimon I never in a million bazillion trillion years imagined that my life would have this many layers of love and richness. Delilah If we're deciding about merch pieces, t-shirts or hats, they have to be well designed and cool enough for somebody to want to buy it and then wear it and walk around advertising me and my music. G-Eazy I was always the first person in the theater all the time. If it was an eight-o'clock curtain, I was here at five-thirty, and it wasn't that I needed to vocalize, because I was all warmed up. I couldn't wait for it to begin. Beverly Sills I just trust in God, work hard, and focus on executing. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce It's bizarre to be given an award for being empathetic and kind, which is what we all should be. Nazanin Boniadi I jus...

I served seven years as the chair of the Princeton economics department where I had

responsibility for major policy decisions, such as whether to serve bagels or doughnuts at the department coffee hour. Ben Bernanke Head Start is designed to ensure that all children - regardless of their family's income, race, or ethnic background - are able to enter kindergarten ready to learn. Lucille Roybal-Allard There was a time when meanings were focused and reality could be fixed; when that sort of belief disappeared, things became uncertain and open to interpretation. Bridget Riley The big risk to British lives in 2013 is in Afghanistan. Our troops, diplomats and aid workers have made a big contribution there. But while there is an end date for Western engagement, 2014, there isn't a proper end game. David Miliband Every president becomes a caricature. The press, partisans, late-night shows, and other arbiters of our culture these days boil down complicated and multi-faceted personalities into one-dimensional punchlines. Mark McKinnon My chefs don't ...

I believe, literally, in the God of the Old Testament, whom I understand as the

Lord of the Jews and the Protestants. I'm a Christian Zionist, as well as a Christian feminist and a Christian socialist. Julie Burchill The Question to be considered is, Whether the Government have reason by a Law, to prohibit the taking more than 4 l. per cent Interest for Money lent, or to leave the Borrower and Lender to make their own Bargains. Dudley North I pretend I'm one of the royal family when I'm in a hotel and that the hotel belongs to me - it is a palace. Martin Short Product management really is the fusion between technology, what engineers do - and the business side. Marissa Mayer Mike Tyson would have been a good sparring partner for me and Muhammad Ali because Tyson was a fast fighter and he could punch and throw good combinations. Larry Holmes I went to Catholic school. Do as you're told; don't ask questions and you will be illuminated. Katherine Helmond From an early age, I learned to invest myself emotionally in what unfolded b...

I saw my dad doing it and thought to myself, 'I can do that.' I would be backstage

watching him and running around the country with him singing to children. He would sing songs that taught children really good morals: like, 'Teaching Peace' was a song he used to sing to kids a lot. Andy Grammer I wanted to be an attorney all the way up until I was 17. Mark Foster I am not bothered about if my role in a film is small or big. Because if the character I am offered is sensible, I would do it even if it is small. Nithya Menen He's known as Sting. I have my own personal name for him, but that shall remain a personal name. Trudie Styler I wanted to play for United; I wanted to play at Old Trafford. It was always my goal. Bastian Schweinsteiger I grew up in a very middle-class life. I'm grateful for it - it has given me a lot of stability. Carrie-Anne Moss I am a human being: sometimes I am happy, but sometimes I am not feeling that great or not in a mood. Shaheer Sheikh The first time I heard the Mars Volta, I had a feeling I was experiencing something that...

All my graduation money went to paying for bartending classes so I could

have a side gig. I bartended for two months before I was supposed to move to New York and then two months later I got the job as an understudy in 'Sister Act' and haven't looked back since. Patina Miller Potentially significant, by the way, because we don't know exactly what's in Matt Cooper's notes, and we don't know - and we don't still know the answer to the crucial question of whether it was Rove or somebody else that revealed Valerie Plame's name to him. Michael Isikoff I was playing little league baseball when Bruce Jenner was winning the gold, but I don't think I was really paying attention at that time. It wasn't until 1980 - I think I was 12 years old - that I thought, 'Wow that's what I want to do. I want to be on the Olympic team.' Dan O'Brien A corporation is organized as a system - it has this department, that department, that department... they don't have any meaning separately; they only can functio...

The most important thing is to live an interesting life. Keep your eyes, ears and

heart open. Talk to people and visit interesting places, and don't forget to ask questions. To be a writer you need to drink in the world around you so it's always there in your head. Michael Morpurgo I think a major cause of present Asian economic difficulties that mainly come from, you know, lack of market economy. Kim Dae Jung I think I'm just really in love with women, and I love to see them looking incredibly, truly beautiful. I think every time a woman wears one of my dresses, you know, in a matter of speaking, I'm having a little love affair with her! Prabal Gurung Duh! So, we're asking you now, what are some of your favorite lines that this warlock brain produced? Charlie Sheen Things of this world are in so constant a flux, that nothing remains long in the same state. John Locke I think it's naive to pray for world peace if we're not going to change the form in which we live. Godfrey Reggio I wasn't really a work-conscious type...
