Everyone knows the U.S. economy shouldn't be so reliant on consumption. More investments should be made.
Lou Jiwei

I didn't want to do a book just to do a book. I wanted to do a book that, if you should read it, you might take one thing from it. Until that was clear in my mind, I wasn't going to do one.
Bobby Orr

I'm from New York, and I started in New York, which I think is a huge advantage because I wasn't overwhelmed by the city. I understood the city. All of the distractions that could come with somebody that started comedy in New York didn't really happen for me.
Michael Che

My life has shifted to different levels financially, in terms of fame as a result of being blessed enough to be able to share my music with the world, and what that has done for me. Despite all of that, I always want people to listen to my music and be able to relate to it as well as to me.
Trey Songz

If you really love something, just continue doing it.
Julia Garner

I'll always have songs with a farm connotation on my albums. It's in the fabric of my music, and I plan to keep it that way.
Luke Bryan

Essentially, all expressions of human nature ever produced, from a caveman's paintings to Mozart's symphonies and Einstein's view of the universe, emerge from the same source: the relentless dynamic toil of large populations of interconnected neurons.

I know what it's like to have a broken heart. I know what it's like

to feel pain: When my songs don't become hits, it breaks my heart. There are a million ways to break a heart. I can relate. Diane Warren Boys, particularly, like stories where they can have images in their imagination, where they can go to scary places and experiment with what can happen. Morris Gleitzman Bowie is probably my favorite all-around songwriter and performer and personality. His ability to change over the years is such an inspiration. I love 'Young Americans' and 'Fame.' Scott Weiland I actually got more attention from one episode of 'The Sopranos' than I did from two years of 'The L Word.' Sarah Shahi 'American Sniper' is a movie.

Shaun Tan When I was in fourth grade, I had a lot of upheaval in my life. Both of my pa

I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at

I'm a responsible soul. But anyone who has the chance to spend time with me

Jordin Sparks When you're a kid growing up, and you think you're gay, you know that you're different; you're often teased and it can really destroy your self-esteem. But sports can be great for building self-esteem. Greg Louganis As history has repeatedly proven, one trade tariff begets another, then another - until you've got a full-blown trade war. No one ever wins, and consumers always get screwed. Mark McKinnon There are no whole truths: all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays to the devil. Alfred North Whitehead I still can't believe I won the Olympics. That's what I feel right now - completely alive as a human being. It's a really beautiful moment. Clara Hughes Sometimes I test myself saying, 'If I get a death sentence if I don't make this m

I mean, I get letters in the mail because I had a heart defect when

I was one, I had surgeries and stuff. And so you get these letters in the mail that just, they are crazy, they are just like, yes, well our son is dealing with the same thing and we saw you on TV and I mean it is such a cool thing to inspire and kind of give hope.

Neil Patrick Harris Every writer dreams of writing a book that will touch people. Bruce Feiler My father taught me respect for quality as well as a sense of dignity - great values as we face a world going in a different direction. I try to teach my children to stay close to the real things. Diego Della Valle I'll have the chance to do a production number on A Capitol Fourth. Barry Bostwick That's what I miss out of all this synthesized music - it starts to lose dynamics. Glenn Frey Even when one is doing well, one still worries that things might go badly again in the future. Th

Languages and cultures are disappearing at an enormously fast rate, and many of them are

in Canada. These are extreme examples of removal of freedom of expression - to actually lose a language and the ability to express that culture. John Ralston Saul If I had my druthers, I would be a brain in a jar, with a burlap skirt around the cart I'm on - I don't attend to my physical being much. Kate McKinnon In New Zealand, we have a thing called 'tall poppy syndrome,' which, you might not have heard of it, but it's essentially where - it happens in small populations usually, but can actually happen in the U.K. - where, if someone sticks out, they get their head cut off because they are being outside the ordinary or they are showing off. Rhys Darby If they're not talking about you, you're not doing something; you're not doing anything. So if they're talking about you, you may be doing something right.

We want to be the go-to business for super-special daywear and eveningwear, to focus on

  what we are known for and what our customers want from us. Giles Deacon For me, it's fine to be aggressive and play hard.

Taylor Sheridan The lack of portability and competition has long been a problem in America's insurance market, yet Obamacare took no significant steps to open up the market between state lines.

Americans deserve a simple, fairer, and flatter tax code that jumpstarts our economy, helps create

jobs, and makes America a leader again.Kevin Brady Ramen in L.A. is much better than ramen in San Francisco. That's just a fact.Alexis Ohanian Ideally, I would like to play roles in as many classics as possible: 'Rebecca,' 'Hedda Gabler.' I'm fond of a corset.Talulah Riley I always think of the Joker as the ultimate bully. Nothing he says is funny except to him.Paul Dini Fashion is instant - after six months, it disappears, and you have to start again. That's the nature of it.John Rocha I think a certain degree of pessimism is actually helpful to love.Alain de Botton Most people can't see beauty and love. I see our music as medicine.Maurice White My own ambitions were eclectic. My father ran a steel plant, and I was expected to study metallurgy and end up at the steel plant when I finished high school at age 15. Despite my proficiency at science, I decided against it and instead went on to study filmmaking.Anand Mahindra I have be

I don't know anyone who actually likes the dark or night-time. I don't care how

Stephen Hawking

I'm not an easy person to love. There are lots of times when I'm a

very good boyfriend, but there are times when I'm useless. I mean, I'm a mess around the house. I talk nonstop. I become obsessed with things. Daniel Radcliffe I really like reaching out and seeing the audience - they're potential audiences! And on occasion I can make them excited about going to the theater again, if they've ceased or gone less. Harold Prince The only thing of value I have in this life is my ability to tell a story, whether in print, orating, writing it down or having people acting it out.

those who have been killed fighting the war on terrorism, by dedicating ourselves to building a free and peaceful world safe from the threat of terrorism.
