Throughout your whole career, there's a bunch of people you might have to kiss. Say

there's this character opposite you, and you might not be into her - or him, personally. You just gotta' do it. That's your job.
Chord Overstreet

Nothing is more dreadful than private duels in America. The two adversaries attack each other like wild beasts. Then it is that they might well covet those wonderful properties of the Indians of the prairies - their quick intelligence, their ingenious cunning, their scent of the enemy.
Jules Verne

I want to act, I want to write, and I need to follow good directors.
James Corden

We can use films and art to express what is happening around all of us.
Stephanie Sigman

I have angel wings and a halo on my wrist, which I got done on my 30th birthday in memory of my brother.
Sheridan Smith

The proper method for inquiring after the properties of things is to deduce them from experiments.
Isaac Newton

My big goal in life was always to figure out how I can make a lot of money so I can go off and make films irrespective of the opinion of the three or four critics who seem to rule the roost.
Francis Ford Coppola

I am something of an aficionado of thrift stores. In my youth, I regularly searched their shelves for old books.
Michael Dirda

I always try to be a universalist, not a specialist.
Willy Bogner, Jr.

The hardest thing about being an actor, for me, is that if you are the 0.00001% of individuals who wants to do it, you're a freak. And you're an assertive freak. Though actors are often shy, there's this tremendous assertive extroversion in you somewhere.
Janel Moloney

I am very much a Red Sox fan; I can name you more players than you could possibly imagine. It's just part of who I am.
Bill de Blasio

My parents moved to American Samoa when I was three or four years old. My

dad was principal of a high school there. It was idyllic for a kid. I had a whole island for a backyard. I lived there until I was eight years old and we moved to Santa Barbara. Eric Stoltz If you accept the belief that baptism incorporates us in the mystical body of Christ, into the divine DNA, then you might say that the Holy Spirit is present in each of us, and thus we have the capacity for the fullness of redemption, of transformation. Thomas Keating My first name, Benjamin, dates back a thousand years earlier to Benjamin - Binyamin - the son of Jacob, who was also known as Israel. Jacob and his 12 sons roamed these same hills of Judea and Sumeria 4,000 years ago, and there's been a continuous Jewish presence in the land ever since. Benjamin Netanyahu I was cast in 'Thor' and I'm cast as a Nordic god. If you know anything about the Nords, they don't look like me but there you go. I think that's a sign of the times for the future. I think we will see...

You can make people feel valued or cared for by design alone. It's not purely

about money. It's about how we choose to value human experience.Thomas Heatherwick I do a big roast of Trump during my set now - which I clearly expanded on - because there's so much to make fun of him about now.Lisa Lampanelli A vaccine that prevented tuberculosis would merit a Nobel Prize, but it's just very difficult to develop.Tom Frieden I go through the same kind of situations as other people. I have to give that to people, because people have this facade, this mirage, this mirror about me.Tory Lanez The wild thing is that when I'm in the band, I can control my destiny with four other guys. As a composer sitting in the audience, you can throw good vibes at everybody, but you can't control anybody's destiny, so it's really unsettling.David Bryan I'm an actor, and I don't judge my parts.Swara Bhaskar As a competitor, you want to be out there in the fire with your teammates.Brock Osweiler We wish to be treated 'not as ordi...

The great fear that hung over the business community in the 1970s was death by

regulation, and the great goal of the conservative movement, as it rose to triumph in the 1980s, was to remove that threat - to keep OSHA, the EPA, and the FTC from choking off entrepreneurship with their infernal meddling in the marketplace. Thomas Frank I had always been kind of obsessed with making a home of my own and was always drawing rooms that I wanted to live in, down to pictures on the wall and the faces that would be in the photographs, and how the couches would be situated. Michelle Williams It was easy to run around barefoot in oblivion in Costa Rica. But once I gave birth to my child, I didn't want to be oblivious to the obvious. Carolyn Murphy Intelligence is really a kind of taste: taste in ideas. Susan Sontag I'm a lioness. I have four cubs. I'm a mom. I want to take care of my kids and protect them. Heidi Klum The disease of an evil conscience is beyond the practice of all the physicians of all the countries in the would. William E. Gladsto...

I'm very fortunate to have spent so much time in the industry and to have

lived through several generations of filmmakers, actors and technicians. There's a huge volume of experience seeing people change and seeing content change. Amitabh Bachchan It's a rule to give all, and it can make the difference if you work more. If you don't have to give all, and you still win, what's this? Jurgen Klopp Outside football, I just love life, you know. We're lucky to play football, to have all this body. Everyone's watching us. You see how many people, they come and watch the game. It's unbelievable, you see how many people they come. They shout your name and just enjoy life. Paul Pogba Innovation is a game of numbers. How do you get enough ideas into the pipeline? Shari L. Ballard 'Monty Python And The Holy Grail' is a hugely important movie to me. I remember watching it for the first time on cable when I was about 13 years old. James Gunn I know what it is to be out entertaining millions and yet wanting to be home beca...

When it came to 'Binge,' it wasn't my intention to get on a little soapbox

and have a teaching moment. It was more, 'Here are things that have happened to me; here's what I've learned from it. If you'd like to learn from it too, great; if you just like the entertainment aspect, that's fine too.' Tyler Oakley I love if someone invites me to a restaurant, so I don't know if that's a feminist. Carine Roitfeld Being fired from a show - being fired in any way, in any instance, any business - is just hard. Kathleen Rose Perkins Just as many people flee Hollywood as those who flock to it. Hollywood can be an acquired taste. Shawn Amos I kind of liked the idea of filming musicians. I could like a musician and know, at the same time, maybe nobody else maybe liked them much or appreciated them. D. A. Pennebaker I believe in glamour. I am in favor of a little vanity. I don't rely on just my genes. Iman Dickens is always full of surprises. Claire Tomalin A musician's whole life is to listen. Wynton Marsalis ...

Blushing is thought to be linked to increased levels of norepinephrine in the brain, which

may be associated with romantic feelings. It signals that we are interested and excited, which is attractive to men. Helen Fisher There are two contrary impulses which govern this man's brain-the one sane, and the other eccentric. They alternate at regular intervals. Franz Schubert I also eat fruit instead of drinking juices. That's something I've read up on. I think that if you drink a lot of fruit juice you take in way too much sugar. You'd be better off eating a bunch of strawberries or apples. Kris Humphries History can bring luck: this is what we can call optimism. Stephane Hessel I want to bring more gymnastics on television. Shannon Miller Better not to exist than live basely. Sophocles I don't miss acting at all. Zachery Ty Bryan I was born in the USA, which many people still find hard to believe. Cesar Romero There's no mystique to acting. It's only common sense - and a bit of courage. Bill Hunter Life has a higher end, th...

I read everything, but generally more fact than fiction - especially autobiographies and

 biographies. I've read 'Long Walk to Freedom' by Nelson Mandela at least twice on holiday. Every time, I'm totally awed by his vision, strength and forgiveness. I feel honoured to have got to know him and his wonderful wife Graca over the years. Richard Branson There are no new facts about the Kennedys, only new attitudes, a literature that, like the automobile industry, puts new bodies on old chassis. John Gregory Dunne Artists are supposed to stay hungry. Michael Connelly I'm a purple girl! Justine Skye Nobody ever said that Hillary's nomination would be unopposed or would be something that was foreordained. David Brock Parishes must be the safest places for a child to be. Blase J. Cupich I'm not sure what 'cheeky' means. I hear it used so much and in so many different ways, I can't identify the real meaning of it. Taylor Lautner Wealth is just consistency... I don't want to be rich. I want to be wealthy. Quavo In 20th-century poetry, Robe...

The very first time I was on a car in Atlanta, I saw the conductor

- all conductors are white - ask a Negro woman to get up and take a seat farther back in order to make a place for a white man. I have also seen white men requested to leave the Negro section of the car. Ray Stannard Baker We must be willing to pay inspiring math and science teachers, who have high paying alternatives in industry, more to teach and reward students who take more challenging courses in high school. Mark Kennedy I like dialogue in novels. I wanted to avoid laying history on with a trowel - appearing to be lecturing, as opposed to the characters lecturing their children or students. Dialogue can humanise the story and make it go down somewhat more smoothly. Elliot Perlman The worst of the action films are the ones where everything is one shout from beginning to finish. And there's no differentiation between beats, like small or big, or quiet or expansive. It's all just one loud shout. Shane Black I wish to assure you that there can never be any return t...

I have ballet class every other day for two hours. And for 'Six Feet Under',

last week there was a sequence where I had to do a whole choreographed dance number, so I had four hours of dance practice every day. Michelle Trachtenberg Salman Rushdie, indeed any writer who abuses the prophet or indeed any prophet under Islamic law, the sentence for that is actually death. Cat Stevens I have always liked shows that have laughter in them. David Walliams People working in the private sector should try to save money. There remains the possibility that it may someday be valuable again. Norman Ralph Augustine The Roman Catholics must know as well as we do that 'Popery' when encouraged by government has always been dangerous to the liberties of the people. Lord George Gordon

I think every athlete has their window of opportunity, and you just have to jump

on it. You never know when it can end. So I'm just trying to live large while I have the opportunity. Hope Solo With the first act of cruelty committed in the name of revolution, with the first murder, with the first purge and execution, we have lost the revolution. Kate Millett I had to find a diet that would kick me back into dating shape, because I know that I can't date at size 8. I have to date at size 2. And it's just a fact of nature. Go get your injections and your chemical peels. You gotta look good to attract a man. Patti Stanger What's a soup kitchen? Paris Hilton Islam is a dangerous religion. Michel Houellebecq Who hears me, who understands me, becomes mine, a possession for all time. Ralph Waldo Emerson Quality is easy to talk but hard to make. Terry Gou Nothing matures a military force quicker than actual military operations. Duncan Hunter TV was my hobby. I loved the glitz. I loved how hot everybody was. Andy Cohen I think the ...
