I discovered the slip dress, which I think is one of the more

French things because when you take off your clothes, even when to go into a shop to buy something, or you're going to Riccardo Tisci to try on a suit, it's like having protection.
Carine Roitfeld

For the first time, we have the genetic sequences of all three of the players in the global malaria debacle: the parasite, the anopheles mosquito and the human. It's a very important milestone.
Anthony Fauci

Tarantino's 'Django' amused me very much. It is as made by an adult that was still a child.
Alejandro Jodorowsky

Some of my best experiences are with writer/directors. Guy Ritchie is one. I feel they have a clearer view of what they want to do. They haven't got to try and interpret someone's writing; it's all theirs. I really admire that.
Jason Statham

I sense people respond more to the honest approach to making music instead of the manufactured approach.
John Oates

Watching 'Doctor Who' in the United States meant I was always behind the times - PBS didn't get new episodes until two years after they ran, and I was aware of the show's cancellation before the characters themselves knew, at least in my corner of the world.
Seanan McGuire

Aussies are really laid back, and so are Californians.
Ruby Rose

Both cheap value stocks and more glamorous growth stocks can work well in a portfolio - if done right.

Real science is the greatest, most exciting springboard I have available to me as

a writer, and I don't feel the least bit constrained by it. Mark Waid I said I reject any form of bigotry, bigotry of all kinds. Steve Scalise I'm trying to enjoy my time at home and be around my kids. Rey Mysterio The thing that I love about 'Scandal' is every character, it's not clear if they're good or bad. Everyone is both good and bad. Nazanin Boniadi Many of the basic lessons of business, such as the critical value of customer service or measuring risk against reward when investing capital, have essential application in government, but not in a vacuum. John Hickenlooper I grew up in London, one of four children. We were a very loud family, not a lot of listening, plenty of talking. My mum was a hearth mother: she loved to gather us all around her - Sunday lunches were a big thing. She was very good at thinking on her feet - people used to say she should go into politics. Damian Lewis When you're an independent artist, you need as much play or promotio...

There is constant talk about the intermarriage crisis: who is a Jew and how

we define a Jew. That doesn't go over well with young Jews trying to figure out whether they want to be a part of this thing or not. Tahl Raz I've been studying voice for quite a while, especially opera, for at least seven or eight years. Shelly Burch Like anything, I remember who I work for. You work for the people who sent you to office. Darryl Glenn For the bourgeoisie, the main danger against which it had to be protected, that which had to be avoided at all costs, was armed uprising, was the armed people, was the workers taking to the streets in an assault against the government. Michel Foucault My grandmother is a huge part of my life. She's just a great woman: a woman of the church. Chance The Rapper I don't think we can fix poverty without fixing housing, and I don't think we can address housing without understanding landlords. Matthew Desmond One of my best friends since I was eleven years old is a gay man, and I knew his struggle. It was a tough life, you ...

I love being in the studio, and I am a huge fan of live music.

Without writing good stuff in the studio, you have nothing to play live. Anthony Hamilton I purposely don't talk about money, because people are already skeptical about TV preachers. But I do say that I want you to be blessed. To me, prosperity is having health, having great children, having peace, good relationships. It's not about the money. Joel Osteen When I was between 2 and 3 years old, I got to know my first non-human being. The non-human was a cocker spaniel named Baba. We weren't friends, Baba and I, nor enemies. He wasn't my dog. He belonged to the people my mother worked for, and he lived in the house with them and us. Octavia E. Butler I was considered the luckiest of all the female gypsies since I landed the job as social secretary to Ambassador and Mrs. David Bruce at the American Embassy. Letitia Baldrige Some musicians like to decorate their walls with discs saying: '1 million records sold in America.' I prefer to put up discs marking...

Persuasiveness is really just about getting your ideas across without being forceful.

It's a skill that can be learned and is useful for anyone who works in a team environment. Amanda de Cadenet I was an extra in a Tia Carrere music video. Adam Scott When people start to think they're figuring out 'The Vampire Diaries,' it switches on you. Kat Graham It's a huge blessing to know you've done something that has affected people the way 'The Matrix' has. It's like, there's 'Star Wars,' and then there's 'The Matrix.' It's cool to be a part of that. Laurence Fishburne Voters aren't asking to be pandered to and aren't asking to be tricked. Jason Kander I'm a pretty controlled and disciplined person, but my real vice is buying plants and food shopping. Zac Posen Barack Obama was a president who understood not only how technology could transform the way government services worked but also technology itself. He got it. Steven Levy Positivity, confidence, and persistence are key in life, so never give up...

Many leaders of big organizations, I think, don't believe that change is possible. But if

you look at history, things do change, and if your business is static, you're likely to have issues. Larry Page I wish there was something that - I get all those wonderful letters and wonderful acknowledgments, and I wish I could be more appreciative of what I do. But it's hard for me. Harvey Korman I have to laugh when I receive newsletters from major personalities and when you hit reply, you get a 'do-not-reply' address. It's ridiculous! Don't you want your customers to reply to you? Brendon Burchard A dark poem is meant to redeem the dark part. C. K. Williams The act of bell ringing is symbolic of all proselytizing religions. It implies the pointless interference with the quiet of other people. Ezra Pound He whose wisdom cannot help him, gets no good from being wise. Quintus Ennius I was born in New Jersey, but it doesn't sound like I'm from a certain region. Wesley Schultz Men don't fall in love with me - only young ones. Kr...

I live in L.A. so I worry my kids aren't that connected to Britain, I

suppose I don't want them to become American kids. We try to get back three or four times a year. When they go to school they speak with a British-American accent but when they come home to us they go back to their British accent. Kevin McKidd I was always in the tennis business-from 1968. I was in tournaments and also on World Team Tennis teams as well. Billie Jean King I didn't start acting until I was in college, which was in the 70's. Ray Liotta Ontario wood prices are among the highest in the world. John Harrison I was never just a 'fill in 16 bars on a beat' rapper. I was making real songs from the jump. Mac Miller I came to Moscow when I was 5 years old from Baku. To walk all night in Moscow will bring back my youth to me. Mstislav Rostropovich The bias against introversion leads to a colossal waste of talent, energy, and happiness. Susan Cain I believe in sex on a first date. Otherwise, how do you know if a second date is worth the effor...

People tell you the world looks a certain way. Parents tell you how to think.

Schools tell you how to think. TV. Religion. And then at a certain point, if you're lucky, you realize you can make up your own mind. Nobody sets the rules but you. You can design your own life. Carrie-Anne Moss But I decided I wanted more education and I had to make a choice between starting law school, which was interesting to me, and going for a graduate degree in engineering. Daniel J. Evans I spent my last year of high school in Latin America, and there's a edge of salsa under all of my rhythms. Stephen Stills The more people say nice things about me, the more I feel it's false. Jesse Eisenberg If I make a new bag I love, I don't keep it. Judith Leiber I hope my kids learn to put themselves first. Steve Nash I think I was identified as a failed president because I wasn't re-elected. Jimmy Carter It is true that too much belief can be bad for your health. Terry Eagleton It only seems as if you're doing something when you worry. Lucy ...

As to the differences between game work and novel writing, well, obviously the

former is a lot less lonely - you're in and out of meetings all the time, bouncing stuff back and forth with the level designers, the art department, the animation team, so forth. Richard K. Morgan Curating, in the modern sense, is something I gravitate to. Taking different ideas from a bunch of different places and putting them into one place or space, a story that makes sense or a new idea. Everything is remixed and taken from other things to make something new. Petra Collins Pool swimmers are very slim, and they're stronger. Marathon swimmers have to train an awful lot, and they end up losing a bit of muscle mass. So we need to have a bit more fat, though that's not the case with me. Many swimmers have a little bit of extra fat though, so that they can deal with the cold and get through what is an exhausting event. Poliana Okimoto I think I'm constantly trying to grow as a pitcher. You start going out there, you're learning stuff, you're finding different w...

You can use your means in a good and bad way. In German-speaking

art, we had such a bad experience with the Third Reich, when stories and images were used to tell lies. After the war, literature was careful not to do the same, which is why writers began to reflect on the stories they told and to make readers part of their texts. I do the same. Michael Haneke If you think about the way the hearings were structured, the hearings were really about Thomas' race and my gender. Anita Hill My favorite Extreme records were the last two. I can't listen to the first one. Gary Cherone You are attached to what you attack. Robert Shea There is one Metallica. We have many styles, it's called Metallica. James Hetfield You can pretend to be serious; but you can't pretend to be witty. Sacha Guitry We are in favor of greater free markets. Ed Gillespie I'm going to focus on speed, doing little things like my turns and my starts - just speed. Ryan Lochte I knew no one who'd ever been in the public eye. J. K. Rowling We...

This country owes them all a debt of gratitude. The down payment on that debt

is making sure that we live up to Lincoln's charge: to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan. Dave Obey This may be done by grafting, by confining the roots, withholding water, bending the branches, or in a hundred other ways which all proceed upon the same principle. Robert Fortune Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive - the risk to be alive and express what we really are. Don Miguel Ruiz I like to be able to play a character and act out a lot of things which I can't or don't do in my normal everyday life. Leonardo DiCaprio The whole idea that what is not normal should be kept secret - that's really distasteful to me. Dan Farmer That tv box has a tremendous capacity to reach people. Clint Walker In Australia, not reading poetry is the national pastime. Phyllis McGinley
