Mental illness is a very powerful thing. If it is with you it is probably

going to be there until the day you die. I am trying so hard to break mine, but it is not easy. It is my toughest fight ever.
Frank Bruno

I'd get 3-4 cheap home runs every year. You know, little 'wood shots' down either line. They would be pop flies in any other park. But, goodness me, they didn't count the number of long outs!
Bobby Thomson

Masses of girls identified with Bella in a really profound way, for want of a better word. The connection that I've seen people have - I've seen it physically. It's the characters they're flipping for.
Kristen Stewart

If a trip is worth taking, members of Congress should be prepared to justify paying for it out of their office accounts.
Russ Feingold

There are many people in South Africa who are rich and who can share those riches with those not so fortunate who have not been able to conquer poverty.
Nelson Mandela

Like flats of today, terraces of houses gained a certain anonymity from identical facades following identical floor plans and heights.
Stephen Gardiner

I'm the worst rider. I'm a terrible rider. Me and horses are not a good mix. For some reason, people are always trying to get me on a horse in a movie.
Dana Delany

Even Charles Darwin, that human decoder ring of bizarre behavior, found the idea of saving a stranger's life to be a total head-scratcher.
Christopher McDougall

For a solitary animal egoism is a virtue that tends to preserve and improve the species: in any kind of community it becomes a destructive vice.
Erwin Schrodinger

I feel my work is made for one being, one individual. You could say that's

me, but that's not really true. It's for an idealized viewer. James Turrell The only thing we know for sure about superiority in sports in the United States of America in the 20th century is that Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics teams he led stand alone as the ultimate winners. Frank Deford I love yoga. There's a lot of stretching involved, which helps with my flexibility and injury prevention. Vinyasa is my favorite as a recovery tool and for me to continue having my legs feel good. Alex Morgan When you get on the back side of your 60s, most people aren't working. Tom Petty God doesn't give you more than you can handle. Leanne Caret For as long as I can remember, I've just loved Chanel. Lily-Rose Depp I always dreamed of going to the Olympics. To be going to the Games in your own country is another thing; to do it as a potential medallist is another thing again. Hannah Mills To me, Berlin is as much a conceit as a reality. Why? Because t...

Native Americans' families experience living surrounded, living in increasingly small reservations surrounded by the society

that destroyed their civilization, and are still stigmatized. For decades and decades, for hundreds of years except in Indian schools, they weren't allowed to speak their language. That stigma takes a terrible toll. Joshua Oppenheimer Someone once accused me of slumming. I don't know what that means. I play basketball. And through that, I get to see a world that is not smart-kid world. Nick McDonell My father had a piano that was a nickelodeon - put a nickel, and the roller would play. Frank Sinatra As a child, I spent a lot of time at the library. Tracy Chapman It's such a cliche thing to say. I want to choreograph, I want to direct, I want to act, I want to write music, I want to play music, I want to sing. For me, it's never-ending. I want to do it all, really. Derek Hough Before someone can change his ideas, he has to open his heart. Maajid Nawaz In the IPL, you are often single-handedly responsible for the fortunes of your team. It makes you more ...

I just try to keep the same people I've had around me from Day One.

Keep it a real small circle because if you do that, not too much is going to go bad for you. Kevin Love I may not be as visible as I used to be, and by that I mean being in the clubhouse or on the field. But I'm just as invested as I've always been. Billy Beane I was a dancer for many years. I was a premier dancer with 'Porgy and Bess,' the opera. And I taught dance some, in different places. Maya Angelou I steal things from people, characteristics, and I just stock them in my head like a library to use for characters in the future. Luke Mably To the extent that we have a better understanding of the brain, we will have a richer appreciation of ourselves, of our fellow men and of society and, in fact, of the whole world and its problems. John Eccles I think what you wear really does need to reflect what your own personal style is. Rachel Zoe Write that novel. Start that business you've always wanted to. The ultimate high of life is the commitment to...

The fact that I'm shouting that I have Gangnam style makes people crack up. Imagine

if Brad Pitt was singing the song - would it be funny? A twist is important when it comes to writing lyrics. Psy It was so weird that I would end up directing 'The Greatest Game Ever Played,' because, y'know, I'm not a big golfer myself. But I grew up around the game. My mom and dad kind of built their dream house off the 11th fairway of Shady Oaks Country Club in Fort Worth. Bill Paxton Every time I was driving on the L.A. freeway in a small car, it was very unnerving for me. One time I rented an SUV, and it just changed my whole perspective of driving, and I was converted to SUVs from that day on. Lauren Lee Smith One of the toughest guys in the world is Randy Couture - he is the true epitome of what a tough guy is. Jason Statham There are millions and billions of atoms of memory of all kinds of musical themes in me. Erykah Badu Even something as stupid as Vine videos makes you feel like you're making things on your own. Gillian Jacobs I am oppos...

It is by God's grace and provision that Hobby Lobby has endured. Therefore, we seek

to honor God by operating the company in a manner consistent with biblical principles. David Green Even spiritually advanced people are often confused. They feel an inner ecstasy which comes from the vital world, and they think this is the real delight. But it is not so. Real delight comes from the highest world to the soul, and from the soul it saturates the whole being. Sri Chinmoy I love discussing the ins and outs of the collaborative nature of writing. Jim Rash If you step back and take a holistic look, I think any reasonable person would say Android is innovating at a pretty fast pace and getting it to users. Sundar Pichai Reducing caloric intake is the only proven method of extending life. If caloric intake is reduced to 20 percent below maintenance, you can extend your lifespan considerably. S. Jay Olshansky Now, learning how to make a movie is something you can figure out in about an afternoon. The physics of it, the marks, the lights, etc. What's hard to do...

Focus on what you want to do. Don't be scared to try stuff. You only

live once. Get your mind towards what you want to do and you'll achieve it. It makes it fun. You gotta take risks at times. Risks pay off. Mark Zupan I think for any actor to say they don't like attention is ridiculous. Of course we love attention. But getting attention is different than pretending the attention means something. Ellen Pompeo A lot of comic conventions go way beyond comic books and include other parts of pop culture, like celebrities and science fiction and movies and books. So I go to them either as a celebrity, or as a fan, because I'm a big sci-fi geek. Jane Wiedlin Just like I find men who talk sports who don't really know sports annoying, I think men might find women who don't really have a true passion and knowledge of sports maybe not so attractive. Gabrielle Union I have a brother who's a psychologist. He says three-quarters of the world are born feeling that they will be affected by the world; one quarter are born knowing tha...

I love new places, new people, new ideas. I love cultural differences, and I'm fascinated

by the truth - all the different versions of it. Martin Henderson We must weed out corruption and build a strong system of justice that the people can trust. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo It's not Apple's fault that they're seeking to avoid paying taxes. They're not lying, cheating or stealing. They're following the rules that were created by governments. If the government doesn't like the rules, they can change them. John Mackey If you learn to sell, it's worth more than a degree. It's worth more than the heavyweight championship of the world. It's even more important than having a million dollars in the bank. Learn to sell, and you'll never starve. George Foreman It's not easy to come somewhere new and have to find your place. You might feel someone doesn't like you, or you might need to find new friends. It's not easy, and I don't like this kind of thing. It's not easy, so you want to protect the players who are alone...

I wrote 'Actor' all on the computer. I didn't touch any instruments until I was

in the studio. So while I had all these ornate arrangements, I didn't have any songs. St. Vincent I'm an American. I'm for prosperity. I've discovered, from 40 years of reporting, that what creates prosperity is limited government. John Stossel That's one of the things I hope that the book can do, is to restore some dignity to Joe Cinque. Helen Garner I was brought up in a very small town in upstate New York. Bill Pullman It always matters whether or not you can trust your government. Trey Gowdy I always feel like I want to do my career my own way. Famke Janssen You're not allowed to be an eccentric in the world, you have to fit it. Rupert Everett The wisdom of the wise is an uncommon degree of common sense. Dean Inge In every parting there is an image of death. George Eliot Special effects movies have taken over the universe. That and scary movies. Jami Gertz

Kids really take you out of yourself, and your priorities become really clear. With acting

and the business, you don't really have priorities. You have no idea what each day or week's going to be like. Josie Bissett I think there's a reason that horror appeals to teens. There's a lot of useful lessons to take away from reading horror. We get to be scared in the comfort and safety of our own homes. We can put the book down if we get too scared, and no one will ever know if we decide not to pick it up again. Holly Black Being a Scotsman, I wear a skirt quite a lot, but we're allowed. I have an incredibly loud Hawaiian shirt that's pink and a particularly disgusting turquoise, but I just wear it on days when I'm in a strange mood. Sean Biggerstaff For the longest time, I was auditioning, getting called back, and I had a long string of things not going my way. I thought, 'Maybe this is never going happen. Maybe I'll never book a commercial.' Allyn Rachel A Home Run Derby is fun. It's just like taking batting practice, and y...

I generally find that comparison is the fast track to unhappiness. No one ever compares

themselves to someone else and comes out even. Nine times out of ten, we compare ourselves to people who are somehow better than us and end up feeling more inadequate. Jack Canfield Did you happen to catch the film I did between 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Kong?' It was a nice little Jennifer Garner comedy, '13 Going on 30,' and I play her boss. In my big scene, I get to moonwalk - pretty well, I thought - to Michael Jackson. Andy Serkis I sincerely believe that Indians have the ability to compete with the best in the world. Dhirubhai Ambani When we adopt a dog or any pet, we know it is going to end with us having to say goodbye, but we still do it. And we do it for a very good reason: They bring so much joy and optimism and happiness. They attack every moment of every day with that attitude. Bruce Cameron Though some student activists of the 1960s may have idolized Alinsky, he didn't particularly idolize them. Bill Dedman It wasn't until I w...
