I always knew I wanted to create. I used to sit in my room for

hours drawing and making things. I once got into trouble for cutting up my mother's lampshades to make a dress. I was three.
Alice Temperley

There's a fun, nostalgic aspect to Legos - people connect to the art on a different level. But it's also a medium that lets me design anything I can imagine. I especially enjoy creating curvy forms using rectangular pieces. Up close, you notice the sharp angles, but when you back away, the corners blend into curves.
Nathan Sawaya

I'm so excited to be carrying on in Dad's footsteps and making sure that everything he worked so hard for continues for the generations to come.
Bindi Irwin

My dream is to map every archaeological site in the world because, if we can do that, then we have this massive global data base that all sorts of global heritage organizations and heritage organizations within countries can use, and they can use that information to protect what's there.
Sarah Parcak

I have to trust something that gives me power; I have to believe in something, but in my career I have a lot of moments I cannot explain with God.
Pele

Even now with the operation, with the damage done, my ankle probably is never going to be back to 100 per cent.
Casey Stoner

It's taken me other places, but it was the impulse to write that led me to singing. I'm not a musician. I never thought of performing in a rock n' roll band. I was just drawn in. It was like being called to duty - I was called to duty, and I did my duty as best as I could.
Patti Smith

I don't know how to tell a joke. I never tell jokes. I can tell stories that happened to me... anecdotes. But never a joke.
Lucille Ball

Is it possible that Jesus, unlike 98 percent of his fellow Jews, was literate and educated? Yes, it's possible.
Reza Aslan

What keeps me interested is that I have to do it. It's like people wake up and they have to breathe; I have to write songs; I have to make music. That's like eating or breathing to me. It's that simple.
Diane Warren

By making more people aware of lymphoma, Worldwide Lymphoma Awareness Day hopes to save lives by increasing early diagnosis and suitable treatment.
Rob Lowe

Gemeoss

I do everything I can to have a diverse career because I just want to

have options. I know that I can do Hamlet or I can do Stanley Kowalski, you know. Sam Rockwell I've been pretty good about keeping my nose to the grindstone. I feel like I won a lot of matches from hard work and persistence, even maybe when I had better options as far as shot-making. Andy Roddick When I want to render these fine nuances, I do not find them in the subject, but in the nature of women in real life who seek unhealthy emotions and are too stupid even to understand the horror in the most appalling situations. Gustave Moreau There are those who leave without our needing to detain them; we have said all there is to say. Richard Eyre I worried that people wouldn't like me. Now I try not to worry and focus on being happy. Lea Michele Americans are pragmatic, relatively uncomplicated, hearty and given to broad humor. Herb Caen I honestly think that's one of the greatest motivators of art - the fear of not making great art. Jason McCoy The two citi...

I call it an old-fashioned seafood house for the new millennium. We are trying to

update what we know as old fish houses and places like that, which are great, but I want to give it a new, fresh look with updated versions of the classics we all love. Todd English Poor men's reasons are not heard. Thomas Fuller Had Calhoun been advised by me, he would have been the most popular man in the United States. Duff Green The secret to humor is surprise. Aristotle I'm always looking for a low-budget script with an interesting character to play. Walter Koenig I dream of you to wake; would that I might Dream of you and not wake but slumber on. Christina Rossetti Honor among thieves is the ancestor of all honor. John McCarthy

There is constant talk about the intermarriage crisis: who is a Jew and how

we define a Jew. That doesn't go over well with young Jews trying to figure out whether they want to be a part of this thing or not. Tahl Raz I've been studying voice for quite a while, especially opera, for at least seven or eight years. Shelly Burch Like anything, I remember who I work for. You work for the people who sent you to office. Darryl Glenn For the bourgeoisie, the main danger against which it had to be protected, that which had to be avoided at all costs, was armed uprising, was the armed people, was the workers taking to the streets in an assault against the government. Michel Foucault My grandmother is a huge part of my life. She's just a great woman: a woman of the church. Chance The Rapper I don't think we can fix poverty without fixing housing, and I don't think we can address housing without understanding landlords. Matthew Desmond One of my best friends since I was eleven years old is a gay man, and I knew his struggle. It was a tough life, you ...

This battle for 'common-sense' gun control laws pits emotion and passion against logic and reason.

All too often in such a contest, logic loses. So, expect more meaningless, if not harmful, 'gun control' legislation. Good news - if you're a crook. Larry Elder I drive a lot. Just for pleasure. Sometimes I'll get in the Cadillac and drive around the city or the country, kind of trying to get lost basically. Y'know, just see where roads lead. Frank Black You and I will meet again, When we're least expecting it, One day in some far off place, I will recognize your face, I won't say goodbye my friend, For you and I will meet again. Tom Petty We must dare to think 'unthinkable' thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and rapidly changing world. J. William Fulbright Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose - a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye. Mary Shelley Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such fr...

I saw my dad doing it and thought to myself, 'I can do that.' I would be backstage

watching him and running around the country with him singing to children. He would sing songs that taught children really good morals: like, 'Teaching Peace' was a song he used to sing to kids a lot. Andy Grammer I wanted to be an attorney all the way up until I was 17. Mark Foster I am not bothered about if my role in a film is small or big. Because if the character I am offered is sensible, I would do it even if it is small. Nithya Menen He's known as Sting. I have my own personal name for him, but that shall remain a personal name. Trudie Styler I wanted to play for United; I wanted to play at Old Trafford. It was always my goal. Bastian Schweinsteiger I grew up in a very middle-class life. I'm grateful for it - it has given me a lot of stability. Carrie-Anne Moss I am a human being: sometimes I am happy, but sometimes I am not feeling that great or not in a mood. Shaheer Sheikh The first time I heard the Mars Volta, I had a feeling I was experiencing something that...

You can't afford for there to be gaps in your pool of knowledge when it comes to a character;

otherwise, what ends up onscreen is generalized and unspecific. David Oyelowo As conservatives, we support free market principles and believe the private sector provides solutions that the government cannot. Mike Pompeo It is very important that people see there is a bright future, and we can re-engage that entrepreneurial spirit of the trading nation for which the U.K. has always been known - that dynamic, creative spirit. Theresa May When I began making electronic music, the only thing I was thinking about was creating music that I really liked. I didn't think about what effect it would have; I was busy doing it. Jean-Michel Jarre I worked with Herb Ritts on the Marky Mark shoot, and then Steven Meisel, and then they'd start sending limos for me, and I was like, 'That is so embarrassing. I'm not getting in a stretch limo by myself to go to a shoot.' That whole New York thing of, 'You are fabulous! Turn up to a Meisel shoot in a limo and you're fabulous!...

Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse. Murphy's First Corollary If

you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the next morning you will have a flat tire. George Edward Woodberry The market system requires that people be committed and willing to work hard. Inherent with that is what I call a merit system, which I think gives people the greatest opportunity. Lee R. Raymond Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone. John Maynard Keynes Human beings must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it. Albert Einstein I can't wait to front my band with these new songs and play for fans, but I've decided to keep my day job too. Richard Marx I think like any marriage, especially when you've had divorced parents like myself; you want to try even harder to make it work. Princess Diana Curiosity is one of the great secrets of happiness. Bryant H. McGill

I have always maintained a high level of fitness, and that is why I am

still able to handle the demands of playing in the Premiership. People have always commented on my fitness, and it's something I pride myself on. Richard Gough Some have argued that confronting the threat from Iraq could detract from the war against terror. To the contrary, confronting the threat posed by Iraq is crucial to winning the war on terror. George W. Bush Change alone is unchanging. Heraclitus My boss told me to get my butt in gear. I told him I was shiftless. Jay London Talking isn't doing. It is a kind of good deed to say well; and yet words are not deeds. William Shakespeare Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward. Victor Kiam Why does man kill? He kills for food. And not only food: frequently there must be a beverage. Woody Allen

I get very tired of books that feel emotionally empty. I would much rather have

writers err on the side of being overly sentimental than not. I think that the perfect balance is a story that moves you without being maudlin, but I don't enjoy books that are empty of emotion and there's no connection to the characters. Alexi Zentner If you have a vision for something, things are navigable. If it gets fuzzy, then obstacles become much more formidable. Bennett Miller I would say I've done everything I wanted to. Jean-Paul Belmondo If there's another iPhone that's better, that's sad for my old iPhone. But it means we get to use a better one. Roger Ver I don't want you to feel defeated, like, 'Oh boy, why do you do this to me?' We have too many of those songs. Kelela Red carpet is a little bit scary. It's not about expression. It's about taking a pretty picture in a really weird, awkward way, with so many people watching. It's a glamorous part of the job, but it requires its own kind of courage. Tracee Ellis Ross I was hi...

In my era, where I'm from, I only had Donald Whiteside. He's from Englewood and

he's the only one that came out of Englewood. Other than him, I really didn't have anyone else to look up to that was from my area. So in seeing him, I never gave up hope, just kept playing and then I realized that I might have a future in basketball. Derrick Rose I think if you go beyond a year - if this continues into the system in the out years, I think there is a risk and that - that we could have a negative reaction in the bond market and that will offset the good that was attempted to be done. Franklin Raines I never was brought into the league thinking as far as, you know, statistics, things like that. We were really brought into the league in a team concept. Everything was focused around winning. Mark Messier I think you need to have a tax system that basically is flat, fair and simple. And - that you can put on a post card. I mean, even Timothy Geithner could do this one and get it on time. Rick Perry Why argue about things you can't prove? William Ruckelsh...
