I had a holiday job in a kitchen, but I think we'll draw a polite veil

over that. There was nothing joyous or creative about it. And none of this helped my studies.
Fergus Henderson

I love wearing whatever is comfortable, and that could be something which was in trend years ago. So, I don't follow fashion.
Virat Kohli

If you want to invest in early-stage technologies, putting a timeframe on it does behold you to Silicon Valley economics. You've got a certain time period where you have to make the money. And you have to invest that money whether you find good companies or not.
Bill Maris

The international community unfortunately did take sides in Libya, and we would never allow the Security Council to authorise anything similar to what happened in Libya.
Sergei Lavrov

My perspective comes in part from being a New York black lady, in part from being an engineer. I know I'm smart and have opinions worth being heard.
Ursula Burns

It's time that Americans dealt seriously with guns, getting in place strong and appropriate measures - there is no excuse for anything but the strictest controls.
Jay Parini

I think golf can be one of those places where we act and we hope that people act as we would like them to act all the time.
Condoleezza Rice

One of the things that's been nice about my career is that I've been able to do so many different things, and variety keeps your creative soul fulfilled. I'm constantly looking to find new things to do. It's just project to project for me. You never know where the next thing's going to come from.
Drew Goddard

I was in a special class, where you skip a grade - you go from seventh to ninth. But I got kicked out. You had to maintain an 85 average, and I didn't. I was too focused on trying to be popular.
Amy Heckerling

I'm not a business girl. I will never be a business girl, but I will say, for Anna Wintour, that I respect successful people; I like things that are success.
Carine Roitfeld

They've been talking about Pi, which I haven't seen, they've been comparing it to Usual

Suspects, Sixth Sense, and Fight Club, and I didn't see that either. Joe Pantoliano When you say you are a gamer and you are a celebrity or a former celebrity there's a grain of salt that everybody takes that with. Curt Schilling I do not believe in inspiration, but I must have a title in order to work, otherwise I am lost. Guillermo Cabrera Infante This activist loves Oregon more than he loves life. Tom McCall I want to play characters that are interesting to watch. Ben Barnes I do have a lot of Australian friends. Simon Baker I've been honoured to portray such intelligent and sophisticated roles. Mia Wasikowska We live in a celebrity-obsessed society. Kelly Reilly My feeling is that if you can cook, I can teach you how to do television. Bobby Flay I have four children and I have seven grandkids. Dick Van Dyke

You have to know how to use the accident, how to recognise it, how to

control it, and ways to eliminate it so that the whole surface looks felt and born all at once. Helen Frankenthaler I think I have been very lucky as far as my acting career goes. Natasha Henstridge In film, I find it very useful always to do some preparation before you start rehearsals or start shooting, because there's so much that's against you on a film set. Ben Whishaw Even at my peak, I never went too over the top. Pauly Shore I'm the quiet bass player. Colin Hanks When things are bad, it's the best time to reinvent yourself.

Margaret Fuller To me, Darth Vader is the epitome of evil. Manu Bennett I like to make the mundane fabulous whenever I can. Rufus Wainwright

I'm not interested in dating. I like being with my own best friend, me. Certain

women, particularly older women, cannot believe I like going to a social event by myself. But I do. Gloria Allred I dropped out of high school and I couldn't go to college 'cause I wasn't smart enough, so I'd resigned myself to loading trucks and playing punk rock on the weekends. Dave Grohl Searching for alternative life on Earth might seem misconceived, because there is excellent evidence that every kind of life so far studied evolved from a common ancestor that lived billions of years ago. Yet most of the life that exists on Earth has never been properly classified. Paul Davies We're all dreamers. Ray Bradbury My husband thinks he's compromising if we have one cook instead of three. Ellen Barkin Everyone has an equal right to inequality. John Ralston Saul I don't think that the feminist movement has done much for the characters of women. Doris Lessing I learn the lines that JK Rowling or whoever writes them, and say them. Michael Gam...

My first joke was about a company called Five Star Parking that was all over

Philadelphia: 'Who's reviewing parking lots?' Adam McKay I don't have to try to be perfect because I know that my fans like me for who I am. They like me because I am weird and kind of funky, but still really calm.

Alan Alda There was a time when cowboys respected their horses instead of riding them to death just to show off for a crowd. Tommy Lee My friends and family are amazed I've done so well. I was not a model student. No one expected that I'd build a Fortune 500 company at Symantec. John W. Thompson Before 'Moonrise,' I never thought I would be in a movie where I would be struck by lightning. Jared Gilman The theme of sisters - of missing sisters, of needing sisters, the special love that sisters share or the antagonism sisters share - is something that is very close to...

Photographic memory is often confused with another bizarre - but real - perceptual phenomenon called

eidetic memory, which occurs in between 2 and 15 percent of children and very rarely in adults. An eidetic image is essentially a vivid afterimage that lingers in the mind's eye for up to a few minutes before fading away. Joshua Foer One of my favorite films is 'Dumb and Dumber.' I'd love to do some really silly comedy someday. Paul Dano In my family, as in most middle-class Indian families I knew when I was growing up, science and mathematics were held in awe. Aravind Adiga I give the spectator the possibility of participating. The audience completes the film by thinking about it; those who watch must not be just consumers ingesting spoon-fed images. Michael Haneke Even The Impostors, as silly as it is, is a very intimate film, in a way. Stanley Tucci There's no doubt I'm emotional. Sidney Crosby Knowledge is ancient error reflecting on its youth. Francis Picabia I can only be who I am. Enya The South African government, unlike a lot of ...

Katey Sagal When you've moved past a point where you're just scrambling for jobs, you think about the things that you want to do. And the things that you want to do are governed by what you've seen, what you choose to embrace. Danny Glover I'm not photographing the model in the classic sense; the model is playing a part in my photographs. It's more like theater. I always work with models I know, and I let them participate in deciding how to act their part. Kim Weston Basically, New York housing is designed by formula, with lots of restrictions. Hugh Hardy Banks are there to support businesses that have justifiable needs. Vijay Mallya Dictionary - opinion expressed as truth in alphabetical order. John Ralston Saul Football is a game about feelings and intelligence. Jose Mourinho I'll watch any show on the History Channel. ...

Hiroshima does not look like a bombed city. It looks as if a monster steamroller

had passed over it and squashed it out of existence. Wilfred Burchett I have a condition called Menieres disease which is a problem with fluid retention in the inner ear. It has four symptoms: ringing in the ear, pressure in the ear, fluctuating hearing loss, and attacks of vertigo. Katie Leclerc All roads indeed lead to Rome, but theirs also is a more mystical destination, some bourne of which no traveller knows the name, some city, they all seem to hint, even more eternal. Richard Le Gallienne The salary of a member of Congress ends the day that he of she leaves office. Virgil Goode Money is something that can be measured; art is not. It's all subjective.

It made me recognizable. Dick Van Patten If I were white, I could capture the world. Dorothy Dandridge The secr...

If I wrote a musical it wouldn't be about me. Although I do some magic,

so it would probably be about a magician who appeared and re-appeared all over the place. Neil Patrick Harris The majority of people in Angola were not provided with any kind of schooling and were completely illiterate, very badly paid, and treated almost as slaves. Louis Leakey Most enlightened men now recognize that General Jackson is not fitted to fill the office of President; his limited experience of anything to do with civil government and his great age make him incompetent.

Mike Myers We are like boxers, one never knows how much longer one has. Clint Eastwood George Martin, he's very good at a very sort of lush, sweet arrangement. Paul McCartney I approve of anyone wearing what the establishment says you must not wear. Florynce Kennedy I toyed with the idea of pursuing a career as a lawyer just because I like to a...

Forget about someone's resume or how they present themselves at a party. Can they blog

or not? The blog doesn't lie. Nick Denton My New Year's resolution is to stick to a good workout plan that will keep me healthy and happy. James Lafferty I was very, very financially secure my whole life. I have been very lucky to say that. Brian Wilson I'm a little more of a lead instrument in the Meatbats. Chad Smith I think the blues will always be around. People need it. Johnny Winter Wisdom finds its literary expression in wisdom literature. Paul Ricoeur Dreams take you beyond what you think you can do in life. Vikram Chatwal Any goal worth achieving involves an element of risk. Dean Karnazes I mean, yeah, I want to lose some weight! I'm doing the best I can. Billy Gardell I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear. Martin Luther King, Jr.

That's the great thing about university: you've got people around you who are taking a

risk and trying things out themselves. It gives you the confidence to try and take it to the next step, which was drama school. Adam Rayner I'm not afraid to have a character say, 'I am a Christian,' or, 'I believe in God,' because I think they represent real people on this Earth. Tyler Perry My tutorial videos are educational, but they're goofy - I'm just being myself. Rosanna Pansino Despite the fact that feminists say they're not getting a fair deal, women are still very powerful. Les Dawson Being home schooled is awesome because you can make your own schedule, so as far as time management, it's up to you how much you get done and when you get it done. It's all got to get done; how you do it is up to you. You need a lot of self-discipline, but luckily, I have it. Jason Dolley I would have loved to have another 10 Eric Ambler books. Alan Furst I want to have all that scientific information that we're building be used in de...
