As long as my pictures go into theaters and we ask people to pay to

see what I do on the screen, I should not object if customers want to know what kind of man I am.
Alan Ladd

Well, I'm not sure, but of one thing I am certain: History judges one differently than contemporary observers, and so I think that as time passes, I hope that not me personally so much, but our administration will be seen for some of the things that we accomplished.
David Dinkins

The name 'Wiz' comes from me being the youngest dude in my age group of people that I hung out with. I was pretty good at anything I tried to do, so they would call me a young wiz.
Wiz Khalifa

When I see the cultural diversity that exists today, I feel that we must defend it, and we need Europe, because otherwise we are going to live in a society with a single model, the Anglo-American model.
Jean-Pierre Raffarin

Certainly we know from our own experience how very difficult it is when you've lost an election that perhaps a lot of people were expecting you to win.
Patricia Hewitt

American policy seems to be wed to a perpetual state of war. Why? History shows that the world will always be in flux or turmoil, with different peoples competing for visibility and power. The U.S. cannot fix the fate of every nation.
Camille Paglia

I've been the type of guy, I've always been very forthcoming with how I feel. And that it doesn't make you less of a man to like go and be like, 'This is how I feel about you. This is the truth.'
Josh Hutcherson

I come from a class which used to be called the gentry - which is nowadays mistakenly used to include the nobility, but in fact is not. The gentry was essentially the untitled landowning class.
Julian Fellowes

Think about technological float: it took centuries for the wheel to gain universal acceptance. Now any microchip device can be in use around the world in weeks.
Dee Hock

Since September 11, security has been increased everywhere, and we have new IDs to get

on to the Fox lot. I drove to the security gate, but realized I'd left my ID in my other car. I just broke into that voice - 'Hey, man, I'm Bart Simpson. Who else sounds like this?' The guard waved me through. Nancy Cartwright I'm Canadian, but no, I don't speak French. Cory Monteith My parents didn't believe in luck. They believed in hard work and in preparing me to take advantage of opportunity. Like many parents, they taught me to be generous but never to depend on the generosity of others. Naveen Jain I didn't grow up with a mother, so I don't have that resource to rely on and ask a million questions. Vanessa Minnillo Probably a few weeks after I was born I started having casts put on my legs to straighten them out. After that corrective shoes and with a brace in between. Kristi Yamaguchi I am extremely shy. I am not happy in crowds of people. Glenn Close As a Christian, I think it's really important to find a man of God to trust ...

I remember sitting one time doing 100 interviews in a day, and they're all television

interviews and they're kind of - and you just sit there and they bring these people in and out, and in out. Macaulay Culkin I can be at my house sitting there making music alone, and every single time I've ever done that the first thing I do when I'm done, no matter if it's 4 in the morning... I literally just pick up my phone and I call someone. Benny Blanco The hijab, or sikh turban, or Jewish skullcap are all explicit symbols, but they do not represent a threat or affront to others, and have no bearing on the competence, skills and intelligence of a person. Randa Abdel-Fattah People think I'm a freemason, and I'm not. People think I believe the end of the world is coming on 21 December 2012, and I don't. Graham Hancock I guess after college, I just got really into food. I also think going on the road doing stand-up makes you more into food. Because when you travel like that, one of the things to do is find really good places to eat. Aziz Ansa...

As a member of a competitive team, you want to make sure you have yourself

ready to play. You don't control anything but what you do. Joe Torre I can tell you from personal experience it gets a little tiring having to make the rounds on cable shows to explain 'what's up with black folks.' John Ridley We try to entertain first, advertise second. When you find out that it's sponsored, we've already won you over. We try to make it obvious that the brand has made it better. Charles Lincoln Neal As I started college, I started to build software products that I could sell to people over the Web. Jon Oringer In my world view, clearly the Internet is a huge force multiplier for Indian media because it has not crept up on us like something invisible; we've seen it all play out in the West. Raghav Bahl So many people are like, 'I'm perfect.' I'm so imperfect; that's why I'm able to let everything out and let people see everything. 'Cause I'm just a mess like every other person that's a mess ...

'The September Issue' is really a film about Anna Wintour's relationship with long time 'Vogue'

Creative Director Grace Coddington. The two of them have been working together for two decades, and the extraordinary symbiosis between them has left an indelible mark on the fashion industry. R. J. Cutler People in startup-land live inside it. They see themselves as really good people even when they're doing something that's very bad. There's a huge disconnect from reality in the tech world. Daniel Lyons I really want to see good health care brought to all the people of Alabama at a reasonable cost. Robert J. Bentley I have no desire to run for public office. Alec Baldwin I'm saying to you that one of the great characteristics of the great American, the American people, is our historic ability to be straightforward, plainspoken, say what we mean, and mean what we say. Lou Dobbs If you have an Ina Garten-level roasted-chicken recipe, it's a game changer. I bring that to dinner parties and make a lot of friends. Meghan Markle My family went to the H...

I remember them being very, very important. John Krasinski Ninety-five percent of all brussels sprouts come from California. Danny Meyer While the Chinese people, as a rule, are good people, my business dealings with Communist Chinese officials have left me disturbed and concerned about the rise of the Chinese Empire. Robert Kiyosaki When I first was trying to play the clubs around Houston to start playing my own songs, songwriters like Eric Taylor and Vince Bell and Townes Van Zandt and Don Sanders were just really encouraging to me and would let me sit in with them during their sets and introduce me to the person that owned and booked the club. Lyle Lovett I am a person beset with fears, and one of my fears is that this thing that I will be writing for five years won't work. And the likelihood, of course, is that it won't - and that's fine. Lauren Groff The stories we are told shape the way we see the world, which shapes the way we experience the world. De...

I'm kind of at a point in my career where I can get away with

traditional stuff and then get away with some more rocky and pop and edgier stuff, too. Luke Bryan We shouldn't force ourselves to do something that really is just painful to us. If there is a discrepancy between what we are doing or putting our bodies through and then what our minds are telling us, you really have to look at yourself, and the most essential part of it is the pleasure aspect. David Belle At this point in my life, I'm not going to spend a lot of time focusing on dissatisfaction with who I am, and I'm not going to spend a lot of time tempering my personality. Whatever job I have next, I'm going to be somebody who wants to get things done. Christine Quinn There are at least two kinds of games. One could be called finite, the other, infinite. A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play. James P. Carse Humor's an excellent way to make a point more palatable and/or relatable. Jen...

I love to work. I know that sounds ridiculous to say because all people love

to work, but I love the homework that goes into acting. I love figuring out different ways of playing a scene. I love the energy of being on set. I love not getting enough sleep because I have to wake up early in the morning. Amanda Schull Most people have no imagination. If they could imagine the sufferings of others, they would not make them suffer so. What separated a German mother from a French mother? Ernst Toller A lot of gay men have a lot of sex. That's what we do. But I've stopped all that-the revolving door into my bedroom. Promiscuity. That was of its day, really. Julian Clary There's every reason to believe there will be further attacks attempted against the United States. For us to spend so much time patting ourselves on the back because we got bin Laden that we miss the next attack would be a terrible tragedy. Dick Cheney I realized some of the pitfalls of being well-known; it was nice if you were successful, but it made it just that much harder to tak...

Social media reactions to celebrity death have taken on a predictable pattern: an outpouring of

shock with expressions of grief, followed by a ghoulish need to know all the details, to see the scene of the death and the family in mourning. Then a post-mortem dissection of all the perceived flaws the celebrity had. Jennifer Armintrout I am extremely proud to have the surname Ambani. I am proud to be a Gujarati, and above all, an extremely proud Indian. Anil Ambani My favorite memory is Tomorrow. Tomorrow's family moments are what I look forward to every day. No single favorite. Just Tomorrow. Nigel Barker I've never watched an entire episode of 'American Idol'. It's too mean. Christina Aguilera I was at a picnic, and there were a lot of songwriters. I remember praying, 'God I wish you would give me a song.' About five minutes later, my ears popped, and I saw everybody in slow motion. Nobody knew what I was experiencing. Andrae Crouch I think I was affected quite a bit by musical and creative influences that go all the way back to my child...

It is impossible to strive for the heroic life. The title of hero is bestowed

by the survivors upon the fallen, who themselves know nothing of heroism. Johan Huizinga We can think so much about life and take ourselves so seriously; I mean, I like to tell people, 'Don't take life too seriously' because you'll cloud the experience. That's what the meaning of life is to me - being able to enjoy the moment. Janine Shepherd Music tells no truths. Philip James Bailey Real talent will get through whatever the obstacles. Kim Wilde It is a waste of money to help those who show no desire to help themselves. Taylor Caldwell I don't think there's any way we can save the polar bears. Will Steger A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out. George Bernard Shaw Depriving yourself will, ironically enough, lead to rebelling and weight gain. Bethenny Frankel I used to play drums when I was a kid, play the trombone. Dolph Lundgren The Europeans must now honor their commitments. That is the position that F...

Police and firefighters are great, but they don't create wealth. They protect it. That's crucial.

Teaching is a wonderful profession. Teachers help educate people to become good citizens so that citizens can then go create wealth. But they don't create the wealth themselves. Rush Limbaugh I am persuaded that in the case of elected officials, the overwhelming temptation is to conclude that it is more important for your constituents that you be reelected than that you deal honestly with them. James L. Buckley I think to be - for me to be an American is - you know, it's one of the greatest things in the world for - you know, for me just because I've been able to grow up with everything. The freedom. You know, in my eyes this is the greatest country in the world. Michael Phelps I don't often know exactly what's coming next, and that makes it more fun. And you know, for me, this entire genre is all about that; it's all about having fun and getting away from the mundane world for just a little while. R. A. Salvatore We've had three big ideas at Ama...
