To all the women that I've offended, I had no intention to be offensive, to

violate any physical or emotional space. I was trying to establish personal relationships, but the combination of awkwardness and hubris led to behavior that I think many found offensive.
Bob Filner

I want to be someone who can be a role model to kids - and to everyone, for that matter.
Patrick Kane

I don't want to be remembered as the girl who was shot. I want to be remembered as the girl who stood up.
Malala Yousafzai

Nobody should mistreat anybody. Homosexuals should not be mistreated. Heterosexuals should not be mistreated. Bisexuals should not be mistreated.
Kirk Cameron

Despite demand, the BlackBerry avoided offering generalized web browsing support.
Steven Sinofsky

It's foolish to call Chanakya an Indian Machiavelli. Rather, Machiavelli was possibly an Italian Chanakya.
Ashwin Sanghi

When you have my confidence, I will do 200% for you.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic

The thing with 'Pippin' is not to over think it too much. If you try and overthink or plan and over-analyze - it's like with any role really, but this one specifically - you can run into sogging wet newspaper. It's just too exciting to do that. It's nice to be bounced around and surprised at almost every line that comes out of your mouth.
Matthew James Thomas

When people read a novel 600 pages long, six months pass, and all they will remember are five pages. They don't remember the text - instead, they remember the sensations the text gives them.
Orhan Pamuk

I am from the Kardashian group. We can take anything.
Caitlyn Jenner

I am at my core a singer/songwriter a la James Taylor or a la Billy Joel. It's not that I don't want to work with people, but I do just love doing my own thing.
Brian McKnight

When I was 17, I worked in a mentoring program in Harlem designed to improve

the community. That's when I first gained an appreciation of the Harlem Renaissance, a time when African-Americans rose to prominence in American culture. For the first time, they were taken seriously as artists, musicians, writers, athletes, and as political thinkers. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar I only make movies that are interesting to me. Brian Grazer I wouldn't say I was organised at all. I just have to prioritise. Is it more important for them to be organised, or to have their dinner, do you know what I mean? Jo Brand The courage in journalism is sticking up for the unpopular, not the popular. Geraldo Rivera A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy dare live. Bertrand Russell I think Mick Jagger would be astounded and amazed if he realized that to many people he is not a sex symbol, but a mother image. David Bowie I enjoy my job as long as I can create a character, otherwise it's boring. Jav

That's what I think our jobs as parents are, to educate as much as possible...

I tell them to follow their bliss. The people who follow their bliss in this world tend to be the more happier people. Art Alexakis The only time I waste is time I spend doing something that, in my gut, I know I shouldn't. If I choose to spend time playing video games or sleeping in, then it's time well spent, because I chose to do it. I did it for a reason - to relax, to decompress or to feel good, and that was what I wanted to do. Simon Sinek Meat workers may have been looked down upon socially, but at least they were well-paid and were a fit and lively bunch as a result of hard, honest physical work. Michael Leunig I decided that I wanted a farm back in 1940 when I was with the Dodgers. I tried to find one within commuting distance of New York. Larry MacPhail Oh God, are you supposed to collect things? I don't collect things. I like throwing things away. Caitlin Moran My first phone was two tin cans tied together with string, and it worked pretty good. Do

It had to happen to me sometime: sooner or later, I would have to lose

sight of the cutting edge. That moment every technical person fears - the fall into knowledge exhaustion, obsolescence, techno-fuddy-duddyism - there was no reason to think I could escape it forever. Ellen Ullman Innovation and its allure can be dangerous. It can draw you away from the user, from the intended outcome, and may be the ultimate demise of otherwise great intentions. Mark Brand My voice is different, but I don't think I'm the only one with a different take on pop music. Charli XCX In South Africa, we drive on the left-hand side, and most of the cars are standard, so I learned with a full-gear transmission with a clutch and hill starts. I've never driven an automatic until I came to Canada. Jodi Balfour Mexico has 44 treaties with other countries that make it very advantageous to do international shipping from Mexico rather than from the United States. Wilbur Ross Winning HOYS set me up for the future and prepared me for riding in front of lots of

Given Pounds and five years, and an ordinary man can in the ordinary course, without

any undue haste or putting any pressure upon his taste, surround himself with books, all in his own language, and thence forward have at least one place in the world. Augustine Birrell Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud, and that the major cancer research organizations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them. Linus Pauling A Bush Administration will, I believe, enjoy a better relationship with the new Congress, although President-elect Bush will be faced with real challenges in getting along with the Congress. Richard V. Allen I once thought that I was the only man that persevered to be the friend of the white man, but since they have come and cleaned out our lodges, horses, and everything else, it is hard for to believe the white man any more. Black Kettle When you finish a poem, it clicks shut like the top of a jewel box, but prose is endless. I haven't experienced an awful lot of clicking shut! Kenneth Koch I thin

As a Midlander and a big walker, I'd always loved ridge and furrow

fields, the plough-marked land as it was when it was enclosed. It is the landscape giving you a story of lives that ended with the arrival of sheep. Jim Crace I think it's really rare to see women on television who are brilliant, selfish, vain, fallible - and I feel like I have all those capacities in myself, so it's good to see people in the media representing all of those things. Kerry Bishe I never went after fame. It fell into my lap. Caitlyn Jenner My mom and dad were actors when they were younger and had a horrible experience of it. My dad became a literary agent and my mom a casting director. Daniel Radcliffe I have this idea of trying to catalog all the genes on the planet. Craig Venter The wind from the Kingdom of Heaven has blown all over the world, and shall blow for centuries yet. George William Russell I always said if I played a drag queen, I'd want to create a template with the realness they talk about in 'Paris Is Burning.' Billy P

If women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional at the beginning of

our menstrual cycle when the female hormone is at its lowest level, then why isn't it logical to say that, in those few days, women behave the most like the way men behave all month long? Gloria Steinem I think that people who get to a certain position, and then try to ferociously defend it or build on it, it's kind of a dead-end street. You see people becoming miserable that way. Viggo Mortensen They sign a bunch of women, and they call it a movement. I don't like the way women in music have been identified as women first and musicians second. Michelle Shocked Funeral pomp is more for the vanity of the living than for the honor of the dead. Francois de La Rochefoucauld But groundless hope, like unconditional love, is the only kind worth having. John Perry Barlow Bing was always hesitant to accept appreciation in any form. Bob Crosby The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time. Thomas Jefferson

I love each of my kids in unique ways and try to meet their different needs so

they can thrive and be their personal best. Yolanda Hadid I lived in Paris for about nine months. It was an experience. Sara Sampaio I don't need a pool room with medals and everything hanging up. Sonny Bill Williams I think it's important to do whatever makes you feel your best. Michelle Carter I went through a phase when I was watching a lot of foreign films, just itching to get out of the suburbs and explore. Phillipa Soo I don't believe that a piece of paper will excuse my actions. In the end, only my actions will. Frank Abagnale The Russian economy is a one-trick pony. They're totally focused on natural gas and oil. Kelly Ayotte Klopp would reproach me for not tracking back properly. I took things on board, and I listened to him. I worked hard in training; I stayed behind after training. That's what helped me to shine in the Bundesliga because I scored quite a lot of goals despite some difficult games in the league. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang I do not want to

I'll never understand how destroying families through deportation benefits our society. How we treat the

undocumented says a great deal about us as a people and whether or not we'll continue to fulfill the fundamental American promise of equality and opportunity for all. Conor Oberst Face it, you have to be sort of an egomaniac to write something down and think that anyone is going to want to read it. Cecily von Ziegesar I've always viewed myself as a behind-the-scenes person rather than in front of the camera. Tommy Mottola Everyone in our administration is going to cooperate. David Plouffe I did every sport under the sun while growing up. Karlie Kloss I like having curves - I'm proud of them! Lacey Schwimmer When the depths are upheld by the Holy Spirit, then the reaction is Christian. E. Stanley Jones I don't wear jewelry, as a man. Alan Tudyk Problems are hidden opportunities, and constraints can actually boost creativity. Martin Villeneuve You don't need people to tell you how beautiful you are on there. Margaret Cho

I remember when I was in third grade, I was in a classroom, and the teacher said,

'What do you want to do when you get older?' We were going around the room. I said, 'I want to be a professional basketball player.' She's like, 'That's not realistic.' I thought to myself, 'OK, watch.' Zach LaVine Professional wrestling is my first love, and I will continue to do that, but if I get a good offer for a film or a show, I would love to take it up. Sangram Singh I had this dream in my head of, if I got hired by 'SNL, what that moment would be like. And I dreamed that I would, like, collapse on the sidewalk and cry to the heavens. I got this call, and it didn't happen naturally. But I did it anyway because I wanted to have that moment. So I did collapse. Kate McKinnon It's funny: I don't feel like I have any particular privileged feeling for the Fifties. Todd Haynes Stock market goes up or down, and you can't adjust your portfolio based on the whims of the market, so you have to have a strategy in a position and s

And in another point of view, I think it is right that the address of

a president should be on his own subject, and that different subjects should be thus brought in turn before the meetings. Arthur Cayley There's a certain kind of behavior in the Arab world that, to me, resembles the way young men behave when there is no significant influence from women in their lives. P. J. O'Rourke But you can't realize, you can't know what another person goes through. Beatrice Wood America doesn't reward people of my age, either in day-to-day life or for their performances. Meryl Streep I think to be 'tough' means you look relaxed. So you have to be tough to win tournaments. But you don't want to be so tough on yourself. Yani Tseng My first undertaking in the way of scientific experiment was in the field of economics and psychology. Simon Newcomb I would have gone home to my mother, but I'm not that crazy about my mother. Cher Christianity teaches that this life is not the only life, and there is a final judgme
