Julia Roberts most definitely would play me in the film of my life. Not just

because of the hair but because she has all sides to her personality come through in films that I could just imagine her playing my crazy self so well.
Jess Glynne

I like to go to places where you can relax a little after you're done working.
Ming Xi

I don't need YouTube's money. I have my own money.
Jason Calacanis

Look at electricity in human history - it took a few decades for electricity to really revolutionize the American economy. And the Internet will be the same. At some point in the future, we will arrive at a new era of low-hanging fruit.
Tyler Cowen

I grew up in southwestern Virginia. I was born in South Carolina, but only because my parents had a vacation cabin or something there on the beach. I was like a summer baby. But I did grow up in the South. I grew up in serious, serious Appalachia, in a very small town.
William Gibson

Any conversation I have with anybody that's real is always revealing and inspiring.
Spike Jonze

Some of my favourite record and album covers and stuff have all been the singer, and they create a character, and they dress up a little bit.
Brendon Urie

In some states, you can vote a straight party ticket, but you can't vote for individual candidates.
Michael Moore

When I need to see the president, I make a request directly to his scheduler. I don't have to ask anybody's permission to see the president except the president. Some weeks, I see him multiple times. Some weeks, I don't see him at all.
John Holdren

When I first went to Las Vegas, I thought I would never go to Las Vegas; you can't get anything. But then I realized that they were trucking in almost everything; you could get a lot of your product, and I think that's why a lot of chefs actually went there.

The central premise behind Oslo was that if Arafat were given enough legitimacy,

territory, weapons and money, he would use his power to fight terror and make peace with Israel. Natan Sharansky The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them... Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will. Michel de Montaigne You can give some kind of spark of life to a comic that a photograph doesn't really have. A photograph, even if it's connecting with you, it seems very dead on the page sometimes. Daniel Clowes In my opinion, if we have not achieved peace, it is because people forget its most fundamental aspect. Before we talk about peace among nations, we must settle our peace with God. Sun Myung Moon So I rang up a local building firm, I said 'I want a skip outside my house.' He said 'I'm not stopping you.' Tommy Cooper If somebody plans to carry out a series of murders... then this is obviously an evil and pre-meditated attack and in that case, there coul...

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.

I just try to keep the same people I've had around me from Day One.

Keep it a real small circle because if you do that, not too much is going to go bad for you. Kevin Love I may not be as visible as I used to be, and by that I mean being in the clubhouse or on the field. But I'm just as invested as I've always been. Billy Beane I was a dancer for many years. I was a premier dancer with 'Porgy and Bess,' the opera. And I taught dance some, in different places. Maya Angelou I steal things from people, characteristics, and I just stock them in my head like a library to use for characters in the future. Luke Mably To the extent that we have a better understanding of the brain, we will have a richer appreciation of ourselves, of our fellow men and of society and, in fact, of the whole world and its problems. John Eccles I think what you wear really does need to reflect what your own personal style is. Rachel Zoe Write that novel. Start that business you've always wanted to. The ultimate high of life is the commitment to...

A fan sent me a letter and a $10 bill. It's a short letter -

all she said was, 'Hey, since it's harder for you to go out these days without getting photographed, here $10 for a pizza.' I was like, 'Aww, she sent me money for a pizza so I could eat at home!' Zac Efron I feel that after all those horrible reviews and jokes, I wasn't crazy all these years to stand up for the music I believe in. This album has proven that somewhere in the human race, the human heart is still racing and breaking and I am so grateful. Barry Manilow I was a scapegoat. The media had to put responsibility on somebody, and I was chosen. They felt free to say that because someone was thin they were anorexic, which is ridiculous. Kate Moss An object imbued with intent - it has power, it's treasure, we're drawn to it. An object devoid of intent - it's random, it's imitative, it repels us. It's like a piece of junk mail to be thrown away. John Hockenberry I can't deny that some customers and prospects think it's ...

The employer class is less indispensable in the modern organization of industries because the laboring

men themselves possess sufficient intelligence to organize into co-operative relation and enjoy the entire benefits of their own labor. Leland Stanford The essence of democracy is its assurance that every human being should so respect himself and should be so respected in his own personality that he should have opportunity equal to that of every other human being to show what he was meant to become. Anna Garlin Spencer The '80s to me, more than anything else, represents a time of real criminal activity in the office of the president: an incredibly disparate economy in terms of the class distinctions and whatnot, and a tremendous shallowness - a lot of sort of bank robbery by executives. Martha Plimpton I'm certainly not your typical front-man material. Some people love being on stage and really open up, and I'm sort of the opposite of that. I don't crave the spotlight. I'm still not comfortable even talking on stage. Dan Auerbach What I think happens tod...

The calls that I have received from President Bush and Vice President

Cheney, the fact that there are other people that are suffering every bit as much as I am, and that our whole nation is going through a tragedy together, I think we have to think about those things. Ted Olson In the beginning, it wasn't even a question of deciding I'm going to do independent film and not commercial films - I wasn't being offered any commercial films, and there wasn't an independent scene. Steve Buscemi Thousands across America are glued to their web cast to hear this. And actually, I've never met one human being who said that they had seen one of those. Spencer Abraham When I left HEEP I didn't know what I wanted! It took me a long time to adjust to life away from the band and the only thing I knew was that I didn't want to repeat my mistakes! Ken Hensley I used to work a lot on food issues and every time somebody predicted that production would be inadequate they got egg on their face a year or two later. Susan George Someti...

It is a leftist myth that European conquerors and settlers encountered only peaceful,

 virtuous tribes and subdued them murderously in the name of Christianity and Capitalism. Tom Tancredo If a little black girl in Montgomery, Alabama, or some far-reaching region sees something that I do and aspires to do it one day with the knowledge that she can achieve it, then hey, my work is done. Octavia Spencer Making movies is hard for me. Being on set is very trying. I'm not good at being that communicative for that long. Editing is where I'm happiest. David Lowery If you focus on what people care about, you have ideas. And people are looking for solutions. Rob Portman When I was a child, Sunday afternoons felt like they could last a week or a month. Increasingly, as I get older, time is going so, so fast. Mark Rylance Microwave sales have plateaued as people realize that reheated TV dinners give us no joy. Kimbal Musk For me to be here at album number six, it's kind of a way to say, 'Thank you for allowing me to be here... to still be around.' Ne-Yo Why wou...

I do think that there are certain parts, if you are lucky enough to play

them, that are bigger than you, and they stretch you. I don't think you become a bigger person, but you develop certain muscles you didn't have before. Harriet Walter I've always envied girls having Ugg boots, so when I found some for men, I had to have them. Marc Warren I've met big-name actors doing Hollywood films, and they've said that all they want is an in at HBO and their own show. Chris Lilley Everything is very individual for me in the way that I work; I don't just show a rotating rack of clothes. Brad Goreski There have been a lot of critiques of the finance industry's having possibly foisted subprime mortgages on unknowing buyers, and a lot of those kinds of arguments are even more powerful when used against college administrators who are probably in some ways engaged in equally misleading advertising. Peter Thiel Every public company depends to some extent on the trust of its investors. Alex Berenson Niaqornat particularly seeme...

I use myself as the barometer to gauge what is scary. I like to think if something

  scares me, then there's a very good chance an audience will feel the same way. James Wan I fought from the time I was eight years old, sometimes three, four fights a night. We did it to eat, and we did it because we were just tough kids. Jake LaMotta Whether I'm pursuing a story or conducting an interview or I'm at the bakery implementing policy and procedure, I have a team who is looking to me. I think my persona is the same for both jobs - perhaps a little bit more in command with the bakery. I say that only because we have so many more employees, and ultimately I make every single decision. Elizabeth Chambers I think there are some liberals who are extremely biased about Fox News and wish to shun it or wish to criticize any liberal who appears on Fox News. That, to me, is not a particularly liberal attitude. Alan Colmes Life is tough, and things don't always work out well, but we should be brave and go on with our lives. Suga Literature is a house with many mansion...

When I was studying... there weren't any black concert pianists. My choices were intuitive, and

I had the technique to do it. People have heard my music and heard the classic in it, so I have become known as a black classical pianist. Nina Simone Creation implies authority in the sense of originator. The possibility of a 'Fall' is implied in a Covenant insofar as the idea of a Covenant implies the possibility of its being violated. Kenneth Burke Other people - they practice and they practice... these fingers of mine, they got brains in 'em. You don't tell them what to do - they do it. God given talent. Jerry Lee Lewis In this day and time, with no competition you are really walking a tightrope. I mean you may think that no competition is good, but in reality no competition is really bad. Jerry Lawler I played a heap of snow in a school play. I was under a sheet, and crawled out when spring came. I often say I'll never reach the same artistic level again. Stellan Skarsgard The wisest have the most authority. Plato Francis Webb is easily our gr...
