I came up the old-fashioned way - tea boy, cutter, focus-puller, cinematographer - but I

wasn't myself old-fashioned.
Nicolas Roeg

In 2005, I did a lot on 'Habibi' and a lot of business stuff. I got an agent that year.
Craig Thompson

My folks were busy. My dad was a teacher, and it was during the Second World War, and my mother was working. So I got my stories from films and books. I read a lot, and I love to read to this day.
Robert Osborne

Why would a novel - which is all about the inward processes of people's developing feelings and developing relationships - why would you be able to portray that in pictures with as few words as possible, which is what the best films are?
Sebastian Faulks

Imagine if the dinosaurs had tried picturing the rulers of their planet 100 million years hence. They'd undoubtedly envision these creatures as... dinosaurs! Conceiving of aliens as polished versions of ourselves is appealing, but unconvincing.
Seth Shostak

A baseball team is like a band. Because, conceptually, there are no heroes in baseball - there's just the team.
Cass McCombs

I was born 'Harmony,' and it was weird because when I was a little kid, I was picked on so much that when I was 13, I changed my name to Harmful. I thought it was a tougher name, so I had it legally changed. And then, I don't know, it just didn't seem to catch on, so... legally, my name is still Harmful, but I just said I'll go back to Harmony.
Harmony Korine

Congress passed the deeply flawed Patriot Act and authorized the invasion of Iraq. It even gave its retroactive approval to warrantless wiretapping.
Andrew Rosenthal

I don't know anybody in the opera business who isn't worried sick about how best to reach out to underpaid millennials who were suckled on the new on-demand pop culture, which supplies them with cheap, unchallenging amusement around the clock.

My first joke was about a company called Five Star Parking that was all over

Philadelphia: 'Who's reviewing parking lots?' Adam McKay I don't have to try to be perfect because I know that my fans like me for who I am. They like me because I am weird and kind of funky, but still really calm. Bella Thorne It's a funny feeling to work with people who you consider your colleagues and to realize that they actually are young enough to be your children. Alan Alda There was a time when cowboys respected their horses instead of riding them to death just to show off for a crowd. Tommy Lee My friends and family are amazed I've done so well. I was not a model student. No one expected that I'd build a Fortune 500 company at Symantec. John W. Thompson Before 'Moonrise,' I never thought I would be in a movie where I would be struck by lightning. Jared Gilman The theme of sisters - of missing sisters, of needing sisters, the special love that sisters share or the antagonism sisters share - is something that is very close to...

Hiroshima does not look like a bombed city. It looks as if a monster steamroller

had passed over it and squashed it out of existence. Wilfred Burchett I have a condition called Menieres disease which is a problem with fluid retention in the inner ear. It has four symptoms: ringing in the ear, pressure in the ear, fluctuating hearing loss, and attacks of vertigo. Katie Leclerc All roads indeed lead to Rome, but theirs also is a more mystical destination, some bourne of which no traveller knows the name, some city, they all seem to hint, even more eternal. Richard Le Gallienne The salary of a member of Congress ends the day that he of she leaves office. Virgil Goode Money is something that can be measured; art is not. It's all subjective. Jerry Saltz I'm trying to get out of my own way. Lucinda Williams Oh, I don't talk about Jack and me. Some things are too good to share. Lara Flynn Boyle I appreciate Eight is Enough. It made me recognizable. Dick Van Patten If I were white, I could capture the world. Dorothy Dandridge The secr...

Photographic memory is often confused with another bizarre - but real - perceptual phenomenon called

eidetic memory, which occurs in between 2 and 15 percent of children and very rarely in adults. An eidetic image is essentially a vivid afterimage that lingers in the mind's eye for up to a few minutes before fading away. Joshua Foer One of my favorite films is 'Dumb and Dumber.' I'd love to do some really silly comedy someday. Paul Dano In my family, as in most middle-class Indian families I knew when I was growing up, science and mathematics were held in awe. Aravind Adiga I give the spectator the possibility of participating. The audience completes the film by thinking about it; those who watch must not be just consumers ingesting spoon-fed images. Michael Haneke Even The Impostors, as silly as it is, is a very intimate film, in a way. Stanley Tucci There's no doubt I'm emotional. Sidney Crosby Knowledge is ancient error reflecting on its youth. Francis Picabia I can only be who I am. Enya The South African government, unlike a lot of ...

I'm not interested in dating. I like being with my own best friend, me. Certain

women, particularly older women, cannot believe I like going to a social event by myself. But I do. Gloria Allred I dropped out of high school and I couldn't go to college 'cause I wasn't smart enough, so I'd resigned myself to loading trucks and playing punk rock on the weekends. Dave Grohl Searching for alternative life on Earth might seem misconceived, because there is excellent evidence that every kind of life so far studied evolved from a common ancestor that lived billions of years ago. Yet most of the life that exists on Earth has never been properly classified. Paul Davies We're all dreamers. Ray Bradbury My husband thinks he's compromising if we have one cook instead of three. Ellen Barkin Everyone has an equal right to inequality. John Ralston Saul I don't think that the feminist movement has done much for the characters of women. Doris Lessing I learn the lines that JK Rowling or whoever writes them, and say them. Michael Gam...

I wanted to definitely be a musician or a good preacher or a heck of

a baseball player. I couldn't play ball too good - I hurt my finger, and I stopped that. I couldn't preach, and well, all I had left was getting into the music thing. Muddy Waters I confess that I listen to my own music for my own pleasure. Herb Alpert How can you not like Britney Spears? Lindsay Lohan It has never been my object to record my dreams, just the determination to realize them. Man Ray Reality isn't the way you wish things to be, nor the way they appear to be, but the way they actually are. Robert J. Ringer And to any new fans we made along the way, I say... welcome to our party. It's just starting to get going. Richard Marx I know it can be dangerous, but I love racing. I worry my wife, but she knows it's important to me. Patrick Dempsey The true statesman is the one who is willing to take risks. Charles de Gaulle

The art of transformation is a very important thing to me, and I always believe

I can say something more truthful through characters that are further away from me. Andy Serkis Before competition, I always take an ice bath to make my body feel more refreshed. Then I always have coffee with a little cream and sugar. It's a superstitious thing. McKayla Maroney The idea that Americans favor politicians who either remind them of themselves or can imagine what their selves are like because they too have struggled and sung the blues, is, like very best theories of human behavior, immune to falsification by mere evidence. Walter Kirn There are a few images in 'Exorcist 3' that scared me - people crawling on ceilings, etc. - but nothing beats the original. Even the book scared me to death. Christine Elise Happiness is within the reach of everyone, rich or poor. Yet comparatively few people are happy. I believe the reason for this is that the majority don't recognize happiness even when it is within their grasp. Robert Baden-Powell No surfer w...

You have to know how to use the accident, how to recognise it, how to

control it, and ways to eliminate it so that the whole surface looks felt and born all at once. Helen Frankenthaler I think I have been very lucky as far as my acting career goes. Natasha Henstridge In film, I find it very useful always to do some preparation before you start rehearsals or start shooting, because there's so much that's against you on a film set. Ben Whishaw Even at my peak, I never went too over the top. Pauly Shore I'm the quiet bass player. Colin Hanks When things are bad, it's the best time to reinvent yourself. George Lopez A good director's not sure when he gets on the set what he's going to do. Elia Kazan I am suffocated and lost when I have not the bright feeling of progression. Margaret Fuller To me, Darth Vader is the epitome of evil. Manu Bennett I like to make the mundane fabulous whenever I can. Rufus Wainwright

And then I think now we are - you know his - like I've always

said. His spirit is so large that we feel his presence around the show, and we always will. He will always have a voice. Katey Sagal When you've moved past a point where you're just scrambling for jobs, you think about the things that you want to do. And the things that you want to do are governed by what you've seen, what you choose to embrace. Danny Glover I'm not photographing the model in the classic sense; the model is playing a part in my photographs. It's more like theater. I always work with models I know, and I let them participate in deciding how to act their part. Kim Weston Basically, New York housing is designed by formula, with lots of restrictions. Hugh Hardy Banks are there to support businesses that have justifiable needs. Vijay Mallya Dictionary - opinion expressed as truth in alphabetical order. John Ralston Saul Football is a game about feelings and intelligence. Jose Mourinho I'll watch any show on the History Channel. ...

The Constitution defends all of us against unreasonable search and seizure. What constitutes reasonableness depends

upon threat. Michael Hayden A lot of times, in our culture and our society, we put romantic love somehow on a higher plane than self-love and friendship love. You can't do that. You have to honor and really fully invest in all these different loving relationships. Delilah I'm really eager to play the BWF Destination Dubai World Superseries Finals, especially after my enjoyable visit to the city. Chen Long I'm an originalist and a textualist, not a nut. Antonin Scalia The experience of watching great cinema - great art - is life enriching and spiritually uplifting no matter whether it's about as difficult as it gets, like 'Breaking the Waves,' or as light as it gets, like 'Jerry Maguire,' 'Election' or 'Toy Story.' Luke Davies For a few months, I'd have a green juice every day, but one day, I realized I'd rather eat those ingredients than drink them. Ellie Kemper Presidents have to learn how to adapt. Every presid...

As first lady, Hillary Clinton spent the early months of her husband's administration drafting healthcare-reform

legislation, only to see it put on the back burner by the North American Free Trade Agreement. Greg Grandin In most professions, if you stay at the office an extra four hours every day, you're gonna impress the boss. You're gonna get that promotion; you're gonna get that raise. You're gonna at least have job security. But with acting, if you're really ambitious and you have a good work ethic and are really good at your job, it might not really matter. Jason Bateman As the Executive Chairman of 'Breitbart News' with a long run in business and finance, I can tell you, it's hard to run a company that is infinitesimally smaller than Fox; it takes a steady and experienced hand. Steve Bannon I consider the guys at Mt. Gox my friends. Roger Ver I like getting rid of things. I really do. Matt Lauer I have respect for therapists in general, because they hear so many stories. It's a lot to hold and take in. Jurnee Smollett-Bell I sing about t...
