I work a lot; I love to compose, ponder, and take notes when preparing for

a role. I cut all the scenes, collate the images, form the character and shape its personality, then I make meticulous notes and transcribe each scene on my notebook.
Julie Gayet

Sadly, I'm one of those people who emotionally puts things off and then gets caught very blindsided at the end.
John Krasinski

When I chose to leave a career as a young lawyer in Washington to move to Arkansas to marry Bill and start a family, my friends asked, 'Are you out of your mind?'
Hillary Clinton

A great deal of my mail comes from fans of the 'Oz' picture - fans of all ages. The scholarly, the curious, the disbelievers write and ask how? why? when? what for? did you fly? melt? scream? cackle? appear? disappear? produce? sky-write? deal with monkeys? etc., etc., etc.
Margaret Hamilton

The Republican agenda is a radical vision in which Medicaid is slashed to the bone - in which we start to balance the budget on the backs of, literally, our most vulnerable citizens.
Al Franken

I think, given who the IBM target company is, I feel our purpose is to be essential to our clients.
Ginni Rometty

I do not support a single-payer system; I do support having something there, whether it's an option or not. And we can work with that, but we have to have something to leverage so we can get the insurance company to bring down their prices, and the only way to do that is to have an alternative there.
David Scott

Faced with the crippling sanctions, Iran could simply decide it is paying too high a cost to pursue its nuclear program and could opt for negotiations and reconciliation with the United States and other members of the international community. This is clearly the preferred option of American leaders.
Richard Engel

I think the reason I'm a writer is because first, I was a reader. I loved to read. I read a lot of adventure stories and mystery books, and I have wonderful memories of my mom reading picture books aloud to me. I learned that words are powerful.

If you... scaled down human beings, scaled down society, if you land with a group

of little boys, they are more like a scaled-down version of society than a group of little girls would be. William Golding I've been performing since I was a child; my mother would have to pull me aside and tell me that I wasn't onstage. I was a cheerleader, president of choir, and in the school play. Aja Naomi King I am a very strong supporter of our government's view that it is important to engage with all countries around the world - very much including Russia. Chrystia Freeland I was wrapping up my stint on 'Daredevil' co-writing with Andy Diggle during the Shadowland story, when Marvel asked if I was interested in doing something else with DD but a bit different. When they explained the purpose of the 'Season One' books, I was intrigued - I'm a big advocate of books for people new to the medium - and said yes. Antony Johnston Spike Lee gave me the greatest reaction to the fact that I was this athlete-meets-artist, because I think he saw ...

I came to the United States in the early '80s and was welcomed with open

arms and given the opportunity to pursue my dreams. God has been very kind to us. My family and I are fortunate enough to be successful and we feel a tremendous responsibility and obligation to give back to our great country. Naveen Jain I like to move forward and notice things along the roadside that indicate where I should go. Josh Homme We knew that you don't get to be world champions without a struggle. Eric Cantona I can't speak for all women, but I do think that... I mean, me and my girlfriends, we definitely... we're in crisis on a continuous basis...or at least monthly, for sure, I don't know. Helen Slater I left school at 16 but I wish I'd gone to university - I think I would have studied English literature. I had a knack for that. But I don't think you have the kind of wisdom at 16 to make that decision. Brendan Coyle The intelligent man who is proud of his intelligence is like the condemned man who is proud of his large cell. Simone We...

I love the smaller clubs. I love the theaters. I love the festivals. There are

things I don't like. At certain theaters, people can't get up and dance. Sharon Jones Acting is a strange profession, and, yes, sometimes I struggle with its worth, its value in the world. Keri Russell I'd forget the piece just before I went out to do the concerto, the panic was too great. This was not anything that gave me pleasure. This was fulfilling somebody else's dream. Linda Lavin I really liked the Mariachi singing in Westerns. Harry Dean Stanton We are all born marked for evil. Charles Baudelaire Don't take anything from me because I'll track it down. Ursula Andress People here don't identify themselves by their sports team. Michael Wilbon Mumbai may not be my city. But it is my kind of city. Vikas Swarup I'm so obsessed and involved with my son. Tia Mowry I was assigned to the heavy cruiser Chicago. Jack Adams

I think you need to be a leader, not a captain. You may have seen a lot of captains in this country,

but the most important thing is to be a leader. Gautam Gambhir All that socialism means to me, to be very frank with you, is democracy with a small 'd.' I believe in democracy, and by democracy, I mean that, to as great an extent as possible, human beings have the right to control their own lives. And that means that you cannot separate the political structure from the economic structure. Bernie Sanders I write all the time. I always have. I can pick up my horn to warm up, and an idea will pop into my head, and I'll write it down and file it away for another time. Wadada Leo Smith We want to pull out songs from the American song book, and we want to make them palatable for a modern audience. Leslie Odom, Jr. We require Canadians who are collecting EI benefits to prove they are looking for work. It's only fair that we require employers looking to benefit from the Temporary Foreign Worker Program to prove they really need it. Justin Trudeau I want China to stop appropria...

The music industry over there seems to treat America like it's one territory even though

they got offices in different parts of America - they're still quite sort of 'America is the territory.' Sean Booth This year, we must address the Colorado Paradox. We have more college degrees per capita than any state. Yet we lag the nation in the percentage of students who go on to higher education. Bill Owens Films must all have the same structure. All of this to guarantee box office bonanza, which of course it never does, but that's another discussion entirely. Dirk Benedict Much of my work in this period was concerned with exploring the logic of economic models, but also with attempting to reconcile the models with every day observation. Joseph Stiglitz If I'm a commodity, it wouldn't be a wise idea to buy stock in me - although, in the long run, maybe I'm a slow growth investment. Tim Robbins Now I know what a statesman is; he's a dead politician. We need more statesmen. Bob Edwards Fear of something is at the root of hate for ot...

I think the part of media that romanticizes criminal behavior, things that a person will

say against women, profanity, being gangster, having multiple children with multiple men and women and not wanting to is prevalent. When you look at the majority of shows on television they placate that kind of behavior. Bill Cosby I am an Armani and a Dolce & Gabbana kind of a person. Patricia Cornwell If I wasn't so insecure about myself I wouldn't work as hard as I do. I am constantly seeking approval. Jonathan Rhys Meyers I didn't want to be the typical teen idol. I didn't want to be Leif Garrett. I didn't want to be Shaun Cassidy, David Cassidy or Parker Stevenson. I wanted to do my own thing. Willie Aames I'm trying not to put myself into anything I'm not 100 percent confident about. Christian Slater The press always ends up being much nicer than I expect. A lot of times they say something snarky about you, but then you meet them in person and they couldn't be nicer. Josh Schwartz Falling in love with God is the most important...

My uncle inspired me, and it was because of him that I become a wrestler,

but besides him, the one Superstar that really caught my attention growing up as a kid was 'Macho Man' Randy Savage.Rey Mysterio It's clear that Planned Parenthood went out of its way to paint me as some sort of a zealot - a Trojan-horse zealot who came into Komen and within 10 to 11 months had completely turned the place upside down. That's clearly not who I am, and it's not what happened.Karen Handel Once you become president, you don't even have to stop for red lights. And if it looks like traffic's too bad, you just take a helicopter.H. W. Brands From Julia Child to 'The Galloping Gourmet' and the Food Channel and Cooking Channel, our fascination with the spectacle of cooking has been a mainstay of TV entertainment.Chuck Norris I want to love. I want to enjoy life.David Cassidy The mistake we made in the 1990s was overestimating the potential of NAFTA's positive impact.William M. Daley I was set to confront the might of the ...

I don't like the idea of being eaten by a shark. I like to swim

in the ocean, and I think much more about sharks than anyone should. I really resent the fact that my oceangoing experiences are ruined by 'Jaws.' David Duchovny It needs to be said, over and over again, that Stan the Man was voted by 'The Sporting News' as the best baseball player of the postwar decade, from 1946 through 1955. George Vecsey We don't take anything when we pass away, and we need to do with the sense of responsibility. Carlos Slim No-one has ever called me a cool dude. I'm somewhere between geek and normal. Linus Torvalds I think in any relationship, even in the healthiest of relationships, we are all parents to each other at times. I think that's a normal, healthy sort of relationship. I think there are times when we're each a mother and a father when we need to be. Christopher Stanley I don't know if I can prepare for what's to come because I don't know what will. Daisy Ridley If you've got a camera, go ...

My grandfather was an autoworker, and I have a weapon he manufactured to protect himself

from the company that he would carry to work. It's a big iron pipe with a hunk of lead on the head. I think about how far we've come as companies from those days, where workers had to protect themselves from the company. Larry Page I loved acting when I was doing it, but getting the jobs I didn't understand because I'd never had to do it. That was a difficult lesson for me. It was very humbling and very bizarre. Mariel Hemingway There's plenty of room for all sorts of movies and all sorts of comedies, so I never saw that as a competitive thing. I think there's room in the marketplace for everything. Steve Carell It is going to be special to drive in the Netherlands because it means I can take part in a Formula One demonstration in a country where I have a lot of family and friends. Nelson Piquet There's so much of, it could have been a very critical examination of what happened, and really the emotional lives of the people involved sort of carry the ...

I think a good story can do as much as a novel; not the exact

same thing, of course, but just as much artistically. They're different beasts, but to tackle an expansive country like the United States, you're either going to write a big novel, or go in to various points on the map and write stories or poems. David Means It's a very powerful medium now, and should be celebrated as such, because we have the greatest television in the world. Diana Rigg I don't really write. I'm an on-the-spot type of person. This beat, let's listen to it; let's vibe. And then I'll do a melody, and then we'll go back and do it. Travis Scott I'd never discuss anything confidential. Pam Bondi Ed Balls keeps saying that we are committed to scrapping the EMA. I have never said this. We won't. Michael Gove When it's something you really adore, I think you don't want to be the one who accidentally writes a crap episode. Jane Goldman There are a couple people who have complained on other teams about some o...
