I have been so great in boxing they had to create an image like Rocky,

a white image on the screen, to counteract my image in the ring. America has to have its white images, no matter where it gets them. Jesus, Wonder Woman, Tarzan and Rocky.
Muhammad Ali

Protecting yourself is very challenging in the hostile environment of the Internet. Imagine a global environment where an unscrupulous person from the other side of the planet can probe your computer for weaknesses and exploit them to gain access to your most sensitive secrets.
Kevin Mitnick

It depends on the book and what else is going on during my life, but it usually takes me about six months to write and revise the first draft.
Janette Rallison

We don't really get to see gay characters who are completely open with their sexuality, but it doesn't define who they are.
Richard Madden

While it is quite reasonable for scientists to be skeptical of new ideas that do not fit within the accepted realm of scientific knowledge, the best science often emerges from situations where results carefully obtained do not fit within the accepted paradigms.
Stanley B. Prusiner

It's hard to act in a corset. Your breath gets cut off. You're squashed.
Alison Elliott

You can be playing a line some way and the director wants you to change that, or you can disagree. But I always think that the creative conversation between director and actor is what leads to good work.
Ewan McGregor

It's true that many of the leaders who started at non-elite colleges as undergrads later attended prominent graduate schools in law, business, medicine, and so on. But the point is that they found their own way there - as young men and women in their early 20s, not teenagers pressed into action by parents and peers.
Nina Easton

Helping reproductive services doesn't just help women in isolation. It helps men just as much.
Tucker Max

I've been really lucky to get on shows that stay on. It's one thing to book a show, and it's like winning the lottery again to have it picked up, and then again to have the show stay on the air.
Coby Bell

Wal-Mart is an amazing success story. What I particularly admire very much about the late Sam Walton was his policy of valuing his employees. Giving value to employees is very rare in the retail industry. I also admire the strategies Walton used to build up his discount store concept.

Our present nuclear fusion reactors are classified by the methods used to support the nuclear

fusion reaction, which takes place at a temperature much hotter than the surface of the Sun. Wilson Greatbatch Going to a grammar school, you mixed with all sorts of different types and I used to listen to how they talked. When I did my imitations, I could sound like someone really rough, or I could sound like a cabinet minister. Steve Coogan When there's a terrible illness like AIDS sweeping through, you help people. Bernadette Peters I love myself. Anything that has my name I'm tickled to death. Barbara Corcoran My career in racing started at a very young age in California. Jeff Gordon People who believe in flying saucers are the scrapings from the bottom. Nigel Kneale Children often have a much stronger concept of morality than adults. Nina Bawden Most politicians aren't allowed to express themselves any more. Ken Livingstone I'm pretty good with not being afraid to just go up to people and introduce myself. Elle Fanning I just keep it simp...

I haven't always acted or reacted in a way that made me proud,

but I didn't make that same mistake twice, and I think that's what I love about adversity is that it always reminds me of what's really valuable in life. Sandra Bullock Many of the crew members I work with and continue to work with were friends or have become close friends, and so we keep working together. And I like casting friends of mine or people I know in parts I know would be perfect for them. I like to bring things and people that mean something to me in to my work. Noah Baumbach I've had shows as a painter, as a photographer, I've done shows as a sculptor. I've done a lot of different things and it all comes from experiences that you have in your life, in your creative environment. They all help - I don't even know if they help; maybe they make it worse but they all influence each other, for sure. Norman Reedus It's very different working with all adults. I have a swear jar so that, if they have a potty mouth, I make them pay. That's...

Sisters are always drying their hair. Locked into rooms, alone, they pose at the mirror,

shoulders bare, trying this way and that their hair, or fly importunate down the stair to answer the telephone. Phyllis McGinley When our Lord says, we must be converted and become as little children, I suppose he means also, that we must be sensible of our weakness, comparatively speaking, as a little child. George Whitefield There's no dancing girls. We're kinda like secondary to the thing. It's a story about these two guys that are in love with this one girl and how it unfolds and what happens. Eric Carr There are men who would quickly love each other if once they were speak to each other; for when they spoke they would discover that their souls had only separated by phantoms and delusions. Ernest Hello If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won't, you most assuredly won't. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad. Denis Waitley Sanity calms, but madness is more interesting. John Russell If there is...

I remember, for the first time, sitting down and consuming books in a matter of

hours. This was such a new experience for me because reading, up until that point, had been such a struggle and source of stress. I think I just needed to find the right kind of stories with which I could identify. John Corey Whaley Having children showed me a whole different kind of love that I had never known. It was something that had always been missing. Complete love. I would die for them. Scott Weiland If I hadn't won at the Worlds and claimed so many ranking points, I would have been struggling for Rio. I'm in a good place now, though, and having the chance to fight for gold in Rio after everything I've been through would be a dream. Bianca Walkden To me, it is like a diabetic with insulin. If that diabetic stops taking insulin, they will die, and I believe that if I don't follow the 12-step programme, I will regress, and that could eventually be the death of me. Trinny Woodall There are maybe 100 actors I look up to, but my first two favourite actors...

During the mission, Walter Jones, a team member was given a package containing bone fragments

by a Lao. The source said they were from a crash site. He presented photographs showing himself in company with others digging around obvious aircraft debris. Bo Gritz Signs of fatigue soon manifested themselves more and more strongly, and slowly the men dropped out one by one, from sheer exhaustion. No murmur of complaint, however, would be heard. Fritz Kreisler It's hard enough to work and raise a family when your kids are all healthy and relatively normal, but when you add on some kind of disability or disease, it can just be such a burden. Patricia Heaton The thing that makes 'Dirty Jobs' different is that it's one of the few shows that portrays work in a way that doesn't highlight the drudgery. Instead, it highlights the humor. Mike Rowe I'm most comfortable with the Southern dialects, really. It's easy, for example, for me to do Irish because we've got Irish heritage where I come from. Brad Pitt Sight and touch, being thus increased ...

We are brunch hounds. We also like movie dates. There's a lot of diners, a

lot of movies. We're 'simple pleasures' people. It doesn't have to be crazy. It could be a 'Law and Order' marathon on the couch, or it could be dinner or a show. We like to mix it up. Rob McClure You're breaking up, you're getting together, you're changing your life, you're arguing with your parents, you're making terrible mistakes, you're having great triumphs. It's what happens to teenagers. Jason Katims I like a fragrance that you notice and want to find out more about - get a bit closer. I don't want to walk in and be jolted awake by someone's smell. Chris Pine The brain is a complex biological organ possessing immense computational capability: it constructs our sensory experience, regulates our thoughts and emotions, and controls our actions. Eric Kandel To learn to do backflips and front flips, you had to fall and bump your head a couple times. I've been doing them since I was a little one, though. Just ...

The Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center serves as a poignant reminder of our past

and a trusted source of education for schoolchildren, community members, and visitors from across the country. J. B. Pritzker We're certainly not in position to expand into the East. We've been very candid and up front that if, in fact, we go through an expansion process, the world will know about it. Gary Bettman It isn't called dressage any more - it is called 'dancing horses.' Charlotte Dujardin I think the music industry is something that's very separate from music. So, by always staying on the music side of it, I've found success. Chance The Rapper Wild globalisation has benefited some, but it's been a catastrophe for most. Marine Le Pen You have to tell the whole truth, the good and the bad, maybe some things that are uncomfortable for some people. John Lewis I have never lived in a time when people haven't told me what I look like. Alexa Chung The first song I ever performed in front of an audience was 'Make It Shine...

It used to be that in media, Johnny Carson used to be the most important

person when he would invite you over to sit on the couch after your comedy skit. Now it's whatever Howard Stern says goes. Lisa Lampanelli When times are down, keep believing, keep working hard, and things will pick up. Harry Kane I'm not backing down on immigration. I'm not backing down on the wall. Luther Strange Every song that we wrote for the first album made it. We didn't think about writing a bunch of songs and picking the best ones. We had to just make the best songs we ever wrote. Brendon Urie My films are personal-voice-driven films about human characters and the place we live. Technically, I'm an independent filmmaker. Barry Jenkins I made a lot of mistakes growing up, trying so hard to fit in. I got so lost trying to please everybody. Halima Aden Particularly with the blues, it's not just about bad times. It's about the healing spirit. Taj Mahal I don't make Christian rap, but I am a Christian rapper. Chance The Rapper ...

You sweat out the free agent thing in November then you make the trades in

December. Then you struggle to sign the guys left in January and in February I get down to sewing all the new numbers on the uniforms. Whitey Herzog Anyone who considers protocol unimportant has never dealt with a cat. Robert A. Heinlein Man's real life is happy, chiefly because he is ever expecting that it soon will be so. Edgar Allan Poe I am a really bad test taker. I can get straight As in school, but I get nervous on test. Mary-Kate Olsen This age thinks better of a gilded fool Than of a threadbare saint in wisdom's school. Thomas Dekker Inflated descriptions by the pen or exaggerated illustrations by the pencil. Grace Darling The past grows gradually around one, like a placenta for dying. John Berger

My next book is also set in the eighteenth century. It's about the Revolution, with

the focus on the year 1776. It's about Washington and the army and the war. It's the nadir, the low point of the United States of America. David McCullough You have to be there not for the fame and glory and recognition and being a page in a history book, but you have to be there because you believe your talent and ability can be applied effectively to operation of the spacecraft. Alan Shepard For most of our young lives, my family was baffled by elementary school bake sales, to which we were told to bring in goodies to sell. While other kids arrived bearing brownies, chocolate chip cookies, and apple pies, Chinese families didn't bake. Jennifer Lee I have a really great family, and when I'm not filming, I go home and walk the dogs, take out the garbage, clean my room, all that stuff. My family and my friends keep me in line, and make sure I don't get crazy. Abigail Breslin There is no better illustration of that crisis than the fact that the president i...
