Parents spend a lot of time talking over kids. My son went through a vocabulary

burst as I was writing 'The Bear.' I thought, 'What if I just stopped and listened?'
Claire Cameron

Filmmaking is such a collaborative piece of art that you can't look to one person - you couldn't look to me, you couldn't say, 'Because Vin's in it, it's this or that...' It's really all of us coming together for that period of time to try and make magic.
Vin Diesel

I would say that the West is very young, it's very corrupt. We're not very wise. And I think we're hopeful that there is a place that is ancient and wise and open and filled with light.
Richard Gere

In January 1962, when I was the author of one and a half unperformed plays, I attended a student production of 'The Birthday Party' at the Victoria Rooms in Bristol. Just before it began, I realised that Harold Pinter was sitting in front of me.
Tom Stoppard

Diamonds are a key component in the campaign to make poverty history.
Nicky Oppenheimer

What a child can do in cooperation today, he can do alone tomorrow.
Lev Vygotsky

Science is the quintessential international endeavour, and the sterling reputation of the Nobel awards is partly due to the widely-perceived lack of national and other biases in the selection of the laureates.
John O'Keefe

I tried putting teabags under my eyes because they say that the green tea - the caffeine - will help with under-eye bags and moisture. It worked! That's a new tip.
Olivia Culpo

I have actually lost a couple of roles - film roles - because a director or producer thought I looked too much like George Costanza, and I could not get out of that box.
Jason Alexander

God has hardwired me to thoroughly enjoy and be sharpened by good and friendly theological discussion about the gospel.

I'm very fortunate to have spent so much time in the industry and to have

lived through several generations of filmmakers, actors and technicians. There's a huge volume of experience seeing people change and seeing content change. Amitabh Bachchan It's a rule to give all, and it can make the difference if you work more. If you don't have to give all, and you still win, what's this? Jurgen Klopp Outside football, I just love life, you know. We're lucky to play football, to have all this body. Everyone's watching us. You see how many people, they come and watch the game. It's unbelievable, you see how many people they come. They shout your name and just enjoy life. Paul Pogba Innovation is a game of numbers. How do you get enough ideas into the pipeline? Shari L. Ballard 'Monty Python And The Holy Grail' is a hugely important movie to me. I remember watching it for the first time on cable when I was about 13 years old. James Gunn I know what it is to be out entertaining millions and yet wanting to be home beca...

I have ballet class every other day for two hours. And for 'Six Feet Under',

last week there was a sequence where I had to do a whole choreographed dance number, so I had four hours of dance practice every day. Michelle Trachtenberg Salman Rushdie, indeed any writer who abuses the prophet or indeed any prophet under Islamic law, the sentence for that is actually death. Cat Stevens I have always liked shows that have laughter in them. David Walliams People working in the private sector should try to save money. There remains the possibility that it may someday be valuable again. Norman Ralph Augustine The Roman Catholics must know as well as we do that 'Popery' when encouraged by government has always been dangerous to the liberties of the people. Lord George Gordon

The so-called Arab Spring has proved that the fall of a Mubarak-like presidency does not

mean the immediate rise of democracy. In spite of this, I am confident that Egypt will not return to an authoritarian governing system again, and that, with some time, it will achieve its democratic goals. Ahmed Zewail I've always been a risk taker; I've never believed in following the expected path. Mindy Grossman In a way, I'd rather go into an interview and be disliked, and have unpleasant things written about me, than to have a wonderful, glowing article written that is in no way a reflection of who I am. Romola Garai The sour quality is set opposite to the bitter and the sweet, and is a good temper to all, a refreshing and cooling when the bitter and the sweet qualities are too much elevated or too preponderant. Jakob Bohme 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,' while not nearly the masterpiece proclaimed by many critics, is certainly a fascinating cross-species: a big-budget summer action fantasy with a sylvan, indie-film vibe, and a war movie that dare...

I think every athlete has their window of opportunity, and you just have to jump

on it. You never know when it can end. So I'm just trying to live large while I have the opportunity. Hope Solo With the first act of cruelty committed in the name of revolution, with the first murder, with the first purge and execution, we have lost the revolution. Kate Millett I had to find a diet that would kick me back into dating shape, because I know that I can't date at size 8. I have to date at size 2. And it's just a fact of nature. Go get your injections and your chemical peels. You gotta look good to attract a man. Patti Stanger What's a soup kitchen? Paris Hilton Islam is a dangerous religion. Michel Houellebecq Who hears me, who understands me, becomes mine, a possession for all time. Ralph Waldo Emerson Quality is easy to talk but hard to make. Terry Gou Nothing matures a military force quicker than actual military operations. Duncan Hunter TV was my hobby. I loved the glitz. I loved how hot everybody was. Andy Cohen I think the ...

When it came to 'Binge,' it wasn't my intention to get on a little soapbox

and have a teaching moment. It was more, 'Here are things that have happened to me; here's what I've learned from it. If you'd like to learn from it too, great; if you just like the entertainment aspect, that's fine too.' Tyler Oakley I love if someone invites me to a restaurant, so I don't know if that's a feminist. Carine Roitfeld Being fired from a show - being fired in any way, in any instance, any business - is just hard. Kathleen Rose Perkins Just as many people flee Hollywood as those who flock to it. Hollywood can be an acquired taste. Shawn Amos I kind of liked the idea of filming musicians. I could like a musician and know, at the same time, maybe nobody else maybe liked them much or appreciated them. D. A. Pennebaker I believe in glamour. I am in favor of a little vanity. I don't rely on just my genes. Iman Dickens is always full of surprises. Claire Tomalin A musician's whole life is to listen. Wynton Marsalis ...

I think it's important that we learn how to draw and to make something and

to do it directly. To understand the properties you're working with by manipulating them and transforming them yourself. Jonathan Ive My coach and I thought I could swim a 57.3 if I executed the perfect race, but I did even better than that. Adam Peaty Intelligence collection is not confined to the communications of adversaries or of the guilty. Rather, it's about gaining information otherwise unavailable that would help keep Americans safe and free. Michael Hayden Terrorism has come to publishing. It is a grave concern when criticism is turned to mortal threats. Sonny Mehta As far as Israel, I am not worried about the relations between Israel and the United States. Yitzhak Rabin I don't watch college basketball. Allen Iverson It's refreshing, if you ask me, to have lengthy conversations with clear, brilliant minds about books, art, and what ought to happen next and how. I love it. Josh Malerman Obviously, there's not as much flex in a wood bat ...

Blushing is thought to be linked to increased levels of norepinephrine in the brain, which

may be associated with romantic feelings. It signals that we are interested and excited, which is attractive to men. Helen Fisher There are two contrary impulses which govern this man's brain-the one sane, and the other eccentric. They alternate at regular intervals. Franz Schubert I also eat fruit instead of drinking juices. That's something I've read up on. I think that if you drink a lot of fruit juice you take in way too much sugar. You'd be better off eating a bunch of strawberries or apples. Kris Humphries History can bring luck: this is what we can call optimism. Stephane Hessel I want to bring more gymnastics on television. Shannon Miller Better not to exist than live basely. Sophocles I don't miss acting at all. Zachery Ty Bryan I was born in the USA, which many people still find hard to believe. Cesar Romero There's no mystique to acting. It's only common sense - and a bit of courage. Bill Hunter Life has a higher end, th...

To make fluffy scrambled eggs, the best trick is to whisk in a splash of

water and nothing else. Cream, milk, and other liquids drag the eggs down! Alex Guarnaschelli I'm thankful for performing as long as I am allowed. Chuck Berry The new 'Dark Knight' movies, they're wonderful in their own way. Adam West I want to help my team win, and this is a winning organization, so there's no added pressure. Eric Weddle I am a day dreamer. I visualise a lot of things at the same time. Tiger Shroff The extraordinary summer heatwave of 2003 in Europe resulted in over 35,000 extra deaths. Gordon Brown Here in America, our use of time is not harmonious with humanity's better spirit. Ali Shaheed Muhammad Guys get concussions, they don't tell the coaches. It happens. Calvin Johnson If people perceive 'Roots' to be a black history show, nobody is going to watch it. David L. Wolper I'm one of them guys that tries to make everything the best of the best, so sometimes I'm out of control with it. DJ Khaled

Without mathematics, there's nothing you can do. Everything around you is mathematics. Everything around you

is numbers. Shakuntala Devi I think, especially with my parents, I wanted to remember who they were. I wanted to remember all of it. I didn't want to purge myself of it. I wanted to remember it. Roz Chast Do I love the road? Honestly? No - but it's how I earn my living. I also don't have the blues, like it's some kind of fever. The blues is my job. It's what I do. B. B. King Hopefully, I can cross over into Hollywood, and hopefully that will bring me a bigger name in China. Godfrey Gao The fact that we can't easily foresee clues that would betray an intelligence a million millennia farther down the road suggests that we're like ants trying to discover humans. Ask yourself: Would ants ever recognize houses, cars, or fire hydrants as the work of advanced biology? Seth Shostak My father was in the paper recycling business back before they called it recycling. Daniel Keyes I believe that people are what happened to their grandparents. Deborah ...

I was thin in high school and then I gained weight. I went to a

nutritionist. I learned for the first time about what things are healthy to eat, basically. Jonah Hill History is not everything, but it is a starting point. History is a clock that people use to tell their political and cultural time of day. It is a compass they use to find themselves on the map of human geography. It tells them where they are but, more importantly, what they must be. John Henrik Clarke I suppose, counting back, if the Beatles had been influenced by music in the same length of time ago - you'd have to put that into better English for me, thank you - they would have been like a banjo orchestra. They would have been doing show tunes. Jonny Greenwood I reached the point where I actually enjoyed the umpiring more than playing. Jim Evans Of course everyone says they hate baby talk, but mine was not annoying. Mariska Hargitay I instinctively try to protect people from filth. Tony Abbott I want to get out of the major opera houses. Renee Fleming I gr...
