I've played a couple of gay characters onstage, and it's always been something I'm comfortable

Phil Schiller

The loneliest, most down-on-his-luck person can have a dog who adores him. The most bitter, sour person can light up with joy when he sees his dog. It is magical, and as 'The Dog Master' reveals, it is biological - we evolved together.
Bruce Cameron

If I can create the minimum of my plans and desires, there shall be no regrets.
Bessie Coleman

The foundations and the intent of the Affordable Care Act are laudable. The way it's being implemented is a disaster.

I want a permanent relationship, and I might feel inclined to reject anything which of its nature could not be permanent.
Alan Turing

Being an actor, you have to be working even when you're not working. You never really get to relax because anytime you're relaxing in between jobs, you're just worried that you're not going to get another job.
Nikki Reed

I was a vegetarian first. I had high blood pressure at 27, everybody in my family died of cancer, and I knew it was in the food, so I changed my diet.

I made a Christmas album a couple of years ago and just put it out

on my Web site. It kind of smacked of this flavor. All of the reviews said it was Western swing even when it was Christmas standards. Suzy Bogguss Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

We must destroy both racism and capitalism. Huey Newton Talk ought always to run obliquely, not nose to nose with no chance of mental escape. Frank Moore Colby

That's where I got my start and where I'll continue to work, but I can't

tell you the number of films between Drugstore Cowboy and Curly Sue that I auditioned for and wanted that didn't choose me. Kelly Lynch I haven't spoken English with native speakers in several months. I've been speaking Arabic. John Walker Lindh Today you can't go by the titles of the shows to know what the content of the show may be. Donna Douglas It hinders the creative work of the mind if the intellect examines too closely the ideas as they pour in. Friedrich Schiller We create our own unhappiness. The purpose of suffering is to help us understand we are the ones who cause it. Willie Nelson We all want peace. Unfortunately, there are times when peace must be defended by fighting terror and tyranny. James H. Douglas, Jr. It is hard to say why politicians are called servants, unless it is because a good one is hard to find. Gerald F. Lieberman

'No Child Left Behind' requires states and school districts to ensure that all

students are learning and are reaching their highest potential. Special education students should not be left out of these accountability mechanisms. Dianne Feinstein You couldn't have done this without killing an Arab prince. Michael Scheuer I'm a horrible public speaker. Bill Condon Both mind and heart when given up to reveries and dreaminess, have a thousand avenues open for the entrance of evil. Charles Simmons The last suit that you wear, you don't need any pockets. Wayne Dyer It is great wealth to a soul to live frugally with a contented mind. Lucretius How can you practice dancing in an airplane? There's a law against it. George Murphy

first time I was on television was doing Daytime for Another World, which I started in December '75 and went until December '76.

I am more of a New Yorker than ever and just actually, sometimes I fantasize

about living somewhere else, where it's maybe not quite so crowded or stressful, blah, blah, blah and after September 11th, I guess I could just not imagine living anywhere else. Sigourney Weaver The people who are competing business-wise out there want what other successful labels and artists have. I don't want what they have; I want my own path, my own sound, my own identity. Record labels care nothing about identity or artistic freedom, they want good business. Joe Nichols I learned, too, how it was possible with the help of the picture and action to transform an apparently insignificant violin passage into an incident, and to lift a simple horn call into a thing of stupendous significance by means of scenic emphasis. Anton Seidl We are not angels, we are merely sophisticated apes. Yet we feel like angels trapped inside the bodies of beasts, craving transcendence and all the time trying to spread our wings and fly off, and it's really a very odd predicament to b...

Gay rights is just a matter of time. Look at the polls. Worrying about gay

marriage, let alone gay civil unions or gay employment rights, is a middle-age issue. Young people just can't see the problem. At worst, gays are going to win this one just by waiting until the opposition dies off. Gail Collins I did a show called 'Wonderland' a few years back, and I was fortunate enough to spend a full-on two weeks - I'm talking 13-15 hours a day - with the doctors and patients at Bellevue in New York. That served me well for 'Durham County.' Michelle Forbes Ultimately as a leader, you're evaluated on how you interact with people. If you do it well, you develop a reputation as effective leader. If you don't, you develop a reputation for being a highly ineffective leader. Douglas Conant 'Bombing Afghanistan back into the Stone Age' was quite a favourite headline for some wobbly liberals. The slogan does all the work. But an instant's thought shows that Afghanistan is being, if anything, bombed out of the Stone Age. ...

My first interest in baseball is the welfare of baseball itself. My second is the

Cincinnati Reds, and my third is Warren Giles. Warren Giles The Seahawks, their front office gets in the media; they talk a lot. Marshawn Lynch Food is important for me, but as a restaurant group, to expand, you know, we have to look where the best market are - where the best markets are.

Peter Diamandis I don't like when a song goes from one mood to another unless it's going to be out of sight. Britt Daniel I'm sometimes a cartoonist, and there's an audience for that, and I'm sometimes an illustrator, and there's an audience for that. Adrian Tomine I love to give. I've been a giver all my life. Tyler Perry I'm sure if Shakespeare were alive today, he'd be doing classic guitar solos on YouTube. Peter Capaldi

From the age of fifteen, dogma has been the fundamental principle of my religion: I

know no other religion; I cannot enter into the idea of any other sort of religion; religion, as a mere sentiment, is to me a dream and a mockery. John Henry Newman The specific is not exclusive: it lacks the aspiration to totality. Theodor Adorno Why do I have to be an example for your kid? You be an example for your own kid.

Ivan Allen Over the past two decades, we have clearly seen an erosion of ethical values. Arthur Levitt

In order to acquire a growing and lasting respect in society, it is a good

thing, if you possess great talent, to give, early in your youth, a very hard kick to the right shin of the society that you love. After that, be a snob. Salvador Dali I was not put on this earth to listen to meat! Dana Snyder Never wait for trouble. Chuck Yeager I'm gonna put a curse on you and all your kids will be born completely naked. Jimi Hendrix Silence is foolish if we are wise, but wise if we are foolish. Charles Caleb Colton For truth is precious and divine, too rich a pearl for carnal swine. Samuel Butler They took away time, and they gave us the clock. Abdullah Ibrahim

I don't think the federal government should be involved in making life work, right? I

mean, the enumerated powers - the state level is fine. The local level's fine. But not - I do not want the federal government trying to make my life work. Dave Brat I'm definitely old-school when it comes to dating. I'm not into the 'game' so much. If I like you, I'll confront you and be open about it. Then I expect you to come after me. Ashley Tisdale The simplest way to make sure that we raise literate children is to teach them to read, and to show them that reading is a pleasurable activity. Neil Gaiman I think YouTube used to have a negative connotation, like it was the place where the rejects went and made careers, but I'm proud to be YouTuber. I wanted to be in that first generation of YouTube stars who transitioned into the 'real world.' It was a really good way to build my business. Lindsey Stirling I meet people from really grand backgrounds who had horrible parents who took no interest in them, whereas I'm a working-class bo...
