For a good workout, I go to At One Fitness in North Hollywood, where my

trainer, Jon Allsop, puts me through it all. I like it because it's a small gym and I've known the people for a long time. Jon will have me do cross-training where I'll lift weights, jump rope, throw around a medicine ball and I never get to stop. Tim DeKay

It's exciting that you've got an entire season to experience 24 hours of highly dramatically charged human experience. It allows for the close inspection of minutiae in behaviour. Xander Berkeley

I've had an advantage; I've had a sort of open public acceptance in New York that doesn't happen to just anyone trying to make the transition you were talking about. Steve Forbert

We can constitutionally extirpate slavery at this time. But if we fail to do this, then unless we intend hereafter to violate the Constitution, we shall have a fugitive slave law in operation whenever the war is over. Jay Alan Sekulow

I like to sit in my backyard. I go out on the hammock and sit in silence and kind of meditate. Nature is calming, and it's nice to go out there and clear my head. Devon Werkheiser

There's definitely a visual aspect and an emotional aspect to a song. And that harks back, for me, to theater. David Cook

Persecution is the first law of society because it is always easier to suppress criticism than to meet it. Howard Mumford Jones

Mark-to-market accounting is like crack. Don't do it. Andrew Fastow

My friend told me I went over to this guy and he pulled a knife. Matt Nagle

The techniques I developed for studying turbulence, like weather, also apply to the stock market. Benoit Mandelbrot

Gemeoss

Having kids has been great for me. I have two beautiful step- kids, as well

as my own new daughter. They've really helped me to keep my feet firmly on the ground, and life is good. I feel like I'm the luckiest guy here. Matt LeBlanc I think playing somebody who's schizophrenic is such a lesson as an actor. It gets you totally out of your comfort zone, because you can't rely on your technique, your external stuff. You've really gotta look inward, in a way. Matt Dillon I grew up in the Methodist church and taught Sunday school, and one of my favorite passages of scripture is, 'in as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.' Matthew 25:40. Elizabeth Warren Every actor I ever meet goes, 'Ultimately I plan on having my own company and write and direct,' but yes, I too would love to write and direct a movie. I want to do a play, too. I want to do it all. Jason Schwartzman If the people in the audience are talking, you're being ignored. If the people are gazing at ...

When my grandfather was born, there was no healthcare. There were no airplanes.

There were no boats. There were no trains. There were no communications. No Internet. No widespread knowledge. It will be a completely different world but a much better place in a hundred years. Jamie Dimon This is sports. In sports, you win and you lose. That's the nature of sports. You can't get away from that part of it. And if you get too hung up on the losing part, then you miss the boat. The competition part, a game like that, is why you play sports. That is as good as it gets. David Robinson Climate change is a global crisis - one the international community and private sector must tackle together if we have any hope of averting the worst impacts on our health, our economies, and our communities. Tom Steyer I'm set in my own ways. I like to do the things I want to do when I want to do them. Dennis Farina I don't imagine myself, my work, or my life, fitting into any kind of standardized path. In fact, the idea of there even being a standard freaks me out a lot. ...

Children want to mimic adults. They notice when you choose to prepare fresh vegetables over

calling in another pizza pie for dinner. They will see that food made with love and care outweighs going through the drive-through window. Marcus Samuelsson I've been drawing authors and politicians for newspapers for many years. I try to read up on the person; in the case of authors, read one of their books. I watch interviews via YouTube and collect pictures via the Internet. Siegfried Woldhek I have no interest in becoming a tax exile and living somewhere I don't want to - I just want to be at home with my family. Rafael Nadal We know that once we stop learning and call ourselves learned, we become useless members of the scientific society. Christian de Duve I started in the supermarket business in the early '70s. And by '75, '76, I realized you don't have a business unless you own the real estate. John Catsimatidis I'm really interested in smells. I think I'd like to own a perfumery someday. Kurt Cobain I never really liked the Gosp...

In Giacometti's work, the armature has once again become the life-line of the

sculpture, and also, he's brought back to sculpture a nervous sensitivity which the 'pure carving' side of sculpture can lose sight of altogether. Henry Moore It's really fun to get into that process of creating an album and telling a story. I really love it. Gretchen Parlato If I got a chance to play with another great player, I want to do that. I mean, the objective is to win. Charles Barkley I'm still 19, and I've got a lot to learn. I've got to keep improving and not get too carried away with myself. Dele Alli There is power in helping people get excited about what they do and inspiring and motivating them to unleash their full potential. Denise Morrison When we fought for freedom, for the establishment of a Jewish state, we didn't send a questionnaire to the Jewish nation asking if it wanted a Jewish state. Yitzhak Shamir I had originally wanted to be a lawyer. Even when I went to college and majored in engineering, I still thought I'd get a la...

Can we achieve 140 mpg fuel economy? You bet. Just get the bureaucrats out of the way, and

Yankee ingenuity will do the rest. Robert Zubrin Nature is the fountain's head, the source from whence all originality must spring. John Constable I'm constantly struggling in interviews to engage and finish sentences, because I am being asked personal questions from somebody I don't know. Katherine Waterston I know actors with promising careers who get blown out of the business, never to return. Everett McGill I don't think that Argentinian cinema is well-known outside Argentina the way it should be. Guillermo del Toro Tobe Hooper - he did my favorite horror movie, 'Texas Chain Saw Massacre.' It's still one of my favorite horror films. Fred Willard I have great Indian genes! You know, I'm lazy. I want to take advantage of the fact that I have a great metabolism. When I start getting fat, I'll work on it! I like food, and I don't like the gym, and as long as I look like this without doing anything, why bother? Priyanka Chopra The idea of a comp...

Also by my earliest days, I was fascinated by a utopian vision of what the

world could be like. I've thought that science could be the basis for a better world, and that's what I've been trying to do all these years. George E. Brown, Jr. Marriage is an adventure, like going to war. Gilbert K. Chesterton Simplicity and repose are the qualities that measure the true value of any work of art. Frank Lloyd Wright I believe that present day civilized man suffers from insufficient discharge of his aggressive drive. Konrad Lorenz Democracy is constructed like an edifice, freedom by freedom, right by right, until it reaches its snapping point. Abdoulaye Wade Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid. Orson Welles It's bad when you fail morally. It's worse when you don't repent. Luis Palau

Nobody can deny but religion is a comfort to the distressed, a cordial to the

sick, and sometimes a restraint on the wicked; therefore whoever would argue or laugh it out of the world without giving some equivalent for it ought to be treated as a common enemy. Mary Wortley Montagu The House of Commons, refused to receive the addresses of the colonies, when the matter was pending; besides, we hold our rights neither from them nor from the Lords. Christopher Gadsden I think the crucial thing in the writing career is to find what you want to do and how you fit in. What somebody else does is of no concern whatever except as an interesting variation. James A. Michener It seems we are capable of immense love and loyalty, and as capable of deceit and atrocity. It's probably this shocking ambivalence that makes us unique. John Scott I may attempt a novel. I think that no matter what you write, it requires being honest with oneself, and you have to pull yourself out of the whirlwind of daily life. Iris Chang Desire creates the power. Raymond Holliwell...

I certainly didn't say while writing 'Gossip Girl,' 'Oh this is going to

be big!' It was really like, 'Oh god, everyone's gong to hate these people! They're so bratty!' But I actually think what is so appealing about them is the humor in them. Cecily von Ziegesar I've had meetings with Fidel Castro. I've had meetings with Kim Il-Sung. I've had meetings with other dictators. I've met with the Butcher of Beijing. You know, I think it's important to hear, you know, each other's perspective. Gary Ackerman I've had over a dozen models come in and pose fro me live for these new Cirque pieces. Cirque is a world-wide phenomenon and they are just incredible athletes. I've been to all the performances and am really fascinated by all of their productions. Richard MacDonald I wasn't the best in my class at the Royal Academy. There was a really good soprano and baritone who were technically better and are doing really well in opera now. But I was definitely the best mezzo-soprano in my class, because I was...

As a lawyer, I've dealt with really serious offences, and the public rarely hear what the true

impact is on the victims' families. When you hear it from the mouths of victims, your entire approach changes, because it could happen to anybody, and they articulate that in such a powerful way. Robert Rinder Self-imposed discipline with a bent towards results rather than 'creative' and sustainability spending is unfortunately not the norm in the marketing industry. Ryan Holiday The Libertadores is sensational, but the Champions League... The first time I heard the anthem was a really special feeling. It's like being in a video game; it's living the dream of every child. Neymar You can't reason with gang violence: you can't talk to it, sit it at the table, and negotiate with it. Greg Boyle Growing up, I did not have many friends with parents who were together. Adam Scott The TV mini-series is kind of a lost genre because the networks have given up on it. Bonnie Hammer The 'Bolton News' is the best place for online comments. They say I'm an abs...

I love the way this sport has evolved and impacted every segment of society.

Now you have cross training and weight training in every sport and from middle school kids to senior citizens. Lee Haney People make a mistake thinking that two people with identical mindset gel well. Gautam Gambhir If money is tight, or you're on a limited budget, then consider DIY or used gifts. DIY could be something like baked goods for your friends, family, and neighbors. Plus, if you have children, it's a great activity to do with them during the holidays. John Rampton The custom of clasping hands is thought to date back thousands of years, as proof of not holding any weapons. Faith Salie I believe in term limits. I believe the country would be hugely better off if we had more turnover in Congress. Bill Flores When we demand Woman Suffrage, we can only do so on the ground, not that it should be a right attached to the possession of a certain amount of property, but that it should be inherent in the woman herself. Clara Zetkin I stopped acting a long time ago and my prim...
