I don't want to be cliched, but Buckingham Palace is beautiful, and the old red

telephone booths are really interesting to me. I've always wanted to see those.
Alessia Cara

For me, the most important thing is running a good clubhouse. The X's and the O's - you sit up in the stands and, for the most part, a lot of fans go to the game and they know what's going to happen. You're going to hit and run, steal, put a pitcher in, take a pitcher out.
Pat Gillick

Now I would go to London's Pudding Lane on 2 September 1666 and put out that little fire. I'd love to investigate the histories of a few of the buildings that burned for Restoration Home.
Kate Williams

Experiencing this film in 2-D is only getting about 20 percent of the experience of 'Gravity.'
Alfonso Cuaron

At a certain point, particularly in his third term, Mayor Bloomberg lost touch with the people he was serving.
Bill de Blasio

Three of the most beneficial, longevity promoting anti-cancer foods are green vegetables, beans, and onions.
Joel Fuhrman

I make very basic country rustic furniture.
Thomas Middleditch

I wrote a novel about an economic/environmental collapse titled 'Soft Apocalypse,' and that's definitely the sort I'm best prepared for. To write the novel, I did a lot of reading on what we might expect, so at the first sign, I'm ready to convert all of my assets to gold and ammo and stock up on freeze-dried food.
Will McIntosh

I often say to people that producing is the best-paid form of cowardice. When you produce things, you almost always get credit if it's a good record, but you hardly ever get the blame if it's not! You don't really take responsibility for your work.
Brian Eno

I was very influenced by the films of the '70s.
Lisa Cholodenko

Our kids are not Jewish, and they're not Catholic. They're not Episcopalian. They're not Buddhist. They're not anything. We do all the holidays to keep the traditions and the culture going, but I truly don't have a great feeling about any particular organized religion, and I don't think it's right to impose one on my kids.
Rhea Perlman

I remember when I got my first (and only) iPad - excitement filled the air

as I opened the box and stared at what was essentially a big iPhone but without the phone part. I knew I really wanted it, and at the same time, I knew I didn't need it. Rhys Darby When I was 28 years old, I thought it would be great to have a movie about my life. I was egotistical and self-centered. Frank Abagnale The pitch that works best in tough economic times is, 'I can do that for less.' Greg Gianforte I think using anti-aging products really helps; the sooner the better, you know? Song Hye-kyo Being in Jamaica, I feel comfortable there. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce I think that, anybody with a strong will to tell a story, then that is fantastic. I think it's fantastic. I think sometimes people have what I'll call an ulterior motive with a story. John Lee Hancock If you really think about the fabric of the United States, or the finance of any economy, finance is a true underpinning of what makes the economy great - if it can be done successfully, ...

I never remember having a plan. All I could think about was how I was

going to afford to get into college or where I was going to stay because I hated being at home. I didn't really have time to think about anything in the future. I didn't think about a career or anything. I went to uni, got a couple of jobs, so I sort of funded it myself. Ellie Goulding I've always had great faith in the Man Upstairs. Wayne Newton The government can still conduct clandestine searches of innocent people's private information such as library, medical, and financial records. This is wrong and should have been addressed in a true compromise. Jose Serrano I had a job at a movie theater for like a year and a half and then a job at a health food store for, like, two years. Those were the only two jobs I ever had. Reggie Watts Clearly, high energy prices will have a large negative effect on the California economy and could possibly drag the rest of the nation into a recession. Doug Ose Every breath we take as human beings damages the planet. Kevi...

I remember at 16 years old, growing up in Queens, we were punks, but hey,

when we went to the theater, we wore a shirt and tie! Similarly, I believe that to keep movie theaters in existence, they're gonna have to make 'em an event, have a couch, a table and drinks or something. Otherwise, there's no reason to get out of your bed! James Caan The only reason I went to college was to play basketball. I injured my knee and couldn't play. Jeffrey Dean Morgan Going out and playing football or baseball with the boys, when I was a tomboy, was a great way to learn about winning and losing, and most girls didn't have that experience. Hillary Clinton If I wasn't performing, I wasn't alive. That's the truth. My parents had absolutely no interest in the business, but they knew it made me happy, so they said 'Go for it, girl!' Samantha Barks When approved, the SAFE Port Act will make progress toward protecting the physical infrastructure of our seaports as well as our national economy which is so clearly dependent on the com...

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 ...

My illness has taught me something about the nature of humanity, love, brotherhood

and relationships that I never understood, and probably never would have. So, from that standpoint, there is some truth and good in everything. Lee Atwater Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater. Albert Einstein Why slap them on the wrist with feather when you can belt them over the head with a sledgehammer. Katharine Hepburn I come from the place where I am thinking 'I have put my blood on the pages.' Albert Brooks We are now after 7 months operation making money here. Henry Wells Give me anything that moves my heart, that gives me goosebumps. Jeremy Spencer I believe totally in a Capitalist System, I only wish that someone would try it. Frank Lloyd Wright

The Commonwealth of Kentucky has a judicial system, and this system needs a lot of

repair. Therefore, there is no need for Kentucky to start building another judicial system within the system, that we already have. Sonny Landham There's nothing half so real in life as the things you've done... inexorably, unalterably done. Sara Teasdale I'm not gay, so I don't know much about Broadway musicals. Norm MacDonald A big iron needle stitching the country together. Jessamyn West Who ran to help me when I fell, And would some pretty story tell, Or kiss the place to make it well? My mother. Jane Taylor What after all, is a halo? It's only one more thing to keep clean. Christopher Fry Quick decisions are unsafe decisions. Sophocles

There are many reasons why vulnerable young people join militant groups, but among

them are poverty and ignorance. Indeed Boko Haram - which translates in English, roughly, as 'Western Education Is Sinful' - preys on the perverted belief that the opportunities that education brings are sinful. Muhammadu Buhari The most satisfying accomplishment for me was winning the British Open in 1996. But the most rewarding times were the times on the mini tours. Tom Lehman We are one of the richest countries in the world, and there is absolutely no reason why anyone should have to live in poverty. Jeremy Corbyn On 'Scrubs,' I played a very unusual character who pretty much was defined by saying and doing strange things, so it was easy to improvise around that. Neil Flynn I've been evaluating how much I value happiness in my life. To be too driven takes away your happiness. Heather Graham I'm always really comfortable writing strong, smart ladies. That's kind of my bailiwick. Chris Roberson I love singers like Hayley Williams from Par...

Having a clear faith, based on the creed of the church is often

labeled today as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and swept along by every wind of teaching, look like the only attitude acceptable to today's standards. Pope Benedict XVI The military destabilised my government on politically motivated charges. Benazir Bhutto The test of the artist does not lie in the will with which he goes to work, but in the excellence of the work he produces. Thomas Aquinas A liberal is a man or a woman or a child who looks forward to a better day, a more tranquil night, and a bright, infinite future. Leonard Bernstein Would that well-thinking people should be replaced by thinking ones. Natalie Clifford Barney

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...

The important thing to remember with the Internet is that there are large companies that

have an interest in controlling how information flows in it. They're very effective at lobbying Congress, and that pattern has locked down other communication media in the past. And it will happen again unless we do something about it. Eli Pariser The concept of industry domination of regulatory agencies was well known and documented in the literature by the 1960s. Nick Johnson Movies are immortal art - the first new art since Greek drama. Eric Johnston That government is best which governs least. Henry David Thoreau Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body. Lucius Annaeus Seneca To be able to endure odium is the first art to be learned by those who aspire to power. Lucius Annaeus Seneca Thinking of disease constantly will intensify it. Feel always 'I am healthily in body and mind'. Swami Sivananda Terrorism is escalating to the point that Americans soon may have to choose between civil liberties and more intrusive means of protection. ...
