I think there's really only been one successful video game adaptation, and that was probably

'Tomb Raider.' Whether or not you thought it was a good movie, it was successful financially.
David S. Goyer

The Book of Revelation is such a dream landscape that you can plug any major conflict in it.
Elaine Pagels

As a young person growing up in Washington, D.C., summers were hot, humid and relentless. My friends and I grew more restless and adventurous with every passing year.
Henry Rollins

You were born to lead as mothers and fathers, because nowhere is righteous leadership more crucial than in the family.
Sheri L. Dew

Science means constantly walking a tightrope between blind faith and curiosity; between expertise and creativity; between bias and openness; between experience and epiphany; between ambition and passion; and between arrogance and conviction - in short, between an old today and a new tomorrow.
Heinrich Rohrer

Racing may be a minority sport, but I wouldn't swap it for all the money in the world.
Tony McCoy

When I'm concentrating, I can be fixed in place for hours. In fact, there was a joke in my office that everybody would come and chat outside my door because they knew - no matter how loud they talked - if I was concentrating, it would not disturb me at all.
Sonia Sotomayor

Homelessness is the fundamental idea of salvation in Jainism. It means the breaking off of all earthly relations, and therefore, above all, indifference to general impressions and avoidance of all worldly motives, the ceasing to act, to hope, to desire.
Max Weber

I'd always lived with people - my family, or had people living with me, because I'd never liked being on my own.
Elton John

The good thing about having chemistry is, when you get to the improv section of a scene, you've got somebody to feed off. It can go on and on and on, and the sky's the limit.
Kevin Hart

When a regular camera focuses physically, what the regular camera is doing is adjusting the lens relative to the sensor to bring different parts of the scene into focus.

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 am not really into paintings, to be honest, but for me, the art I love is when I see

  singers putting their heart into their song, actors giving the performance of their lives, and books and movies that make me feel something I never thought I could; there's art in everything as long as it's made with soul. Sara Sampaio I've always had a reluctance to meet my heroes. Steven Van Zandt Those who support the death penalty are accepting a practice that is both ineffective and fundamentally flawed. Clint Smith I don't want to be in the spotlight, ever! I don't know why I got in this profession! Ana de Armas I've never been in trouble with the law. Glenn Gronkowski Writers can express ideas and emotions that are important to them but have no other means of expression. Some of these ideas may be fantastic, and some of the emotions may be given clearer voice in fantastic fiction. Brian Stableford The Internet removed geography as a significant obstacle that formerly prevented out-of-the-way places from being active players in the New Economy. Greg Gian...

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...

There's a book out called 'How Money Walks' written by Travis Brown.

He's followed annual adjusted gross income from 1992 to 2011. Approximately $100 billion has moved to Florida from all over the country. Number two is Arizona. Where does it come from? It's come from New York; it's come from New Jersey; and it's come from California. Rick Scott China itself has said repeatedly that they will and have been conforming to international law. Benigno Aquino III I did not intend for there to be an incisive historical lesson in 'North and South.' Basically, it's just a good, juicy story. David L. Wolper When I went to the all-Ireland final - Kerry against Dublin - I couldn't get away for an hour and a half with people coming up and wishing me all the best. Not one of them said, 'Martin, when did you leave the IRA?' But every one of them knew I was in the IRA at one stage. Martin McGuinness The answer to neofascism is stopping neoliberalism. Putting another Clinton in the White House will fan the flames of t...

I felt somehow for many years that George Washington and Alexander

Hamilton just left me out by mistake. But through the process of amendment, interpretation, and court decision, I have finally been included in 'We, the people.' Barbara Jordan It is time to effect a revolution in female manners - time to restore to them their lost dignity. It is time to separate unchangeable morals from local manners. Mary Wollstonecraft Understanding how DNA transmits all it knows about cancer, physics, dreaming and love will keep man searching for some time. David R. Brower I believe in the greatness of our democracy. Chen Shui-bian It is foolish to pretend that one is fully recovered from a disappointed passion. Such wounds always leave a scar. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow I had that thing of wanting to prove I was a tough kid. Scott Caan I think quite often a fate worse than death is life, for lots of people. Tom Baker

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...

The music comes first. When Geoff has made something the inspiration comes automatically. His music

is very expressive. But still is is a very difficult process: I have to add something to his music, not push it away. It has to be equal, and I find that very difficult. Beth Gibbons I wanted a theory that would allow one to live outside the office with the same philosophy one uses inside it. Kenneth L. Pike War is never economically beneficial except for those in position to profit from war expenditures. Ron Paul My education was the liberty I had to read indiscriminately and all the time, with my eyes hanging out. Dylan Thomas For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake. Alfred Hitchcock A cat is never vulgar. Carl Van Vechten First thoughts are not always the best. Vittorio Alfieri

I did study the art of being a barber because I wanted to figure out

what my routine would be. Do you start in the front or back? Top or bottom? Swivel the chair or walk around? What I did discover is there's no such thing as the perfect haircut! Sean Patrick Thomas Having my first number one single and being able to travel to places I've never been before has been amazing. The tour was also fantastic. There are so many things which I've experienced this year which I never even dreamed of. Gareth Gates I don't have much of a problem with interruptions. I keep a detailed record of paint and materials as a work on each painting. I can restart exactly where I left off. Mike Thompson The key to successful missionary work is a close relationship between the missionaries and the members. Creating an environment in working with members that will bring more into the Church. Richard G. Scott I'm very much in support of the free press, but the free press ought to be educational and informative. And I believe they have fallen down r...

I don't really mind what people say about my love life or anything like that,

but the one thing is that, yes, I do sing and write all my own music. That is something that I hold really dear. And yeah, I made a fool of myself in front of the world, but it was also great to pick myself back up and go on tour. Ashlee Simpson I love great acting, as nerdy as that sounds. Aubrey Plaza Of course, Einstein was a very great scientist indeed, and I have enormous respect for him, and great admiration for the discoveries he made. But he was very committed to a view of the objectivity of the physical world. John Polkinghorne As a human being, I'm work in process. John Lydon But when I stopped facing Sandy, I had to face Don Drysdale. No one on my team wanted to face him. Juan Marichal I like being 30. I wouldn't want to do the twenties again. They are their own entity. Jonathan Rhys Meyers It's been interesting. I went through a period where a lot of people would recognize me, and then when I had injures and my ranking dropped, not as many people did...

I would have to say I'm bored with the standard rock, guitar solos, but I've

done it for five albums now, and this time I wanted to go in a completely different direction. I wasn't interested in showing off any more. Kirk Hammett Truth, which is important to a scholar, has got to be concrete. And there is nothing more concrete than dealing with babies, burps and bottles, frogs and mud. Jeane Kirkpatrick A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven. Jean Chretien All the world old is queer save thee and me, and even thou art a little queer. Robert Owen If we keep an open mind, too much is likely to fall into it. Natalie Clifford Barney The pursuit of truth does not permit violence on one's opponent. Mahatma Gandhi When did the future switch from being a promise to a threat? Chuck Palahniuk
