I'm fighting to make childcare more affordable for working parents so they can continue working

and advancing their careers, closing wage gaps that for too long have held women back from the fair economic opportunities they need.
Kirsten Gillibrand

When you're threatened, or something hard hits you, acknowledge it, embrace it. Don't pretend that you didn't get hurt - hurt, cry, think about it. And then you let it go and try something else.
Teresa Heinz

For every person that doesn't like you, there's gonna be somebody who does.
Lance Gross

I've had a good time here in baseball. I love baseball. That's why I'm still around.
Red Schoendienst

If our governments are so compromised that they will not tell us the truth, then we must step forward to grasp it.
Sara Harrison

I feel like I had to learn how to take care of myself and find out what made me happy aside from just making films.
Winona Ryder

You need supporting actors to help to tell the story. For me, I'm lucky to be a part of the films. Being an actor, I'll take any role, whether it's supporting or leading.
Robert Maillet

The 'Room 93' EP was just kind of picking apart the sense of voyeurism and the sense of isolation and turning it into, essentially, a little black book and reflecting on - at that time - 19 years of me forming relationships with people.
Halsey

Radium, discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie in 1898, was especially popular: the 'it' element of its day. Radium glows an eerie blue-green in the dark, giving off light for years without any apparent power source. People had never seen anything like it.
Sam Kean

I saw 'Six Degrees of Separation' because my brother was in it. It was a watershed experience. It was theatrical and scary, and New York functioned like a character. John Guare became a hero for me.
Adam Rapp

Sometimes the better the writing, the harder it is to play because you really want to service it. It's hard to be that quick and articulate in life. You've got to try to make it seem discovered, you know, not rehearsed.
David Duchovny

I've noticed lately that it seems most intimate to not use any closing

on your e-mail at all, because it seems to make it feel like you are engaged in an ongoing conversation - as if this one e-mail doesn't represent the beginning and end of the interaction but is just part of a perpetual loop of friendly back-and-forth. Susan Orlean I quite like post-apocalyptic films, things like 'Mad Max' for instance, because they are so full on and there is something quite cleansing about the post-apocalyptic because you can see where we all think we're heading. Anthony Daniels Bear in mind North Korea has been the leading source, a leading source of nuclear technology and of missile delivery systems to some of the world's great rogues in Iran and Syria. Robert McFarlane I have always been considered to be the most German among Italian economists, which I always received as a compliment, but was rarely meant to be one. Mario Monti There's nothing more important than our good health - that's our principal capital asset. Arlen S...

The employer class is less indispensable in the modern organization of industries because the laboring

men themselves possess sufficient intelligence to organize into co-operative relation and enjoy the entire benefits of their own labor. Leland Stanford The essence of democracy is its assurance that every human being should so respect himself and should be so respected in his own personality that he should have opportunity equal to that of every other human being to show what he was meant to become. Anna Garlin Spencer The '80s to me, more than anything else, represents a time of real criminal activity in the office of the president: an incredibly disparate economy in terms of the class distinctions and whatnot, and a tremendous shallowness - a lot of sort of bank robbery by executives. Martha Plimpton I'm certainly not your typical front-man material. Some people love being on stage and really open up, and I'm sort of the opposite of that. I don't crave the spotlight. I'm still not comfortable even talking on stage. Dan Auerbach What I think happens tod...

The central premise behind Oslo was that if Arafat were given enough legitimacy,

territory, weapons and money, he would use his power to fight terror and make peace with Israel. Natan Sharansky The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them... Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will. Michel de Montaigne You can give some kind of spark of life to a comic that a photograph doesn't really have. A photograph, even if it's connecting with you, it seems very dead on the page sometimes. Daniel Clowes In my opinion, if we have not achieved peace, it is because people forget its most fundamental aspect. Before we talk about peace among nations, we must settle our peace with God. Sun Myung Moon So I rang up a local building firm, I said 'I want a skip outside my house.' He said 'I'm not stopping you.' Tommy Cooper If somebody plans to carry out a series of murders... then this is obviously an evil and pre-meditated attack and in that case, there coul...

The calls that I have received from President Bush and Vice President

Cheney, the fact that there are other people that are suffering every bit as much as I am, and that our whole nation is going through a tragedy together, I think we have to think about those things. Ted Olson In the beginning, it wasn't even a question of deciding I'm going to do independent film and not commercial films - I wasn't being offered any commercial films, and there wasn't an independent scene. Steve Buscemi Thousands across America are glued to their web cast to hear this. And actually, I've never met one human being who said that they had seen one of those. Spencer Abraham When I left HEEP I didn't know what I wanted! It took me a long time to adjust to life away from the band and the only thing I knew was that I didn't want to repeat my mistakes! Ken Hensley I used to work a lot on food issues and every time somebody predicted that production would be inadequate they got egg on their face a year or two later. Susan George Someti...

My uncle inspired me, and it was because of him that I become a wrestler,

but besides him, the one Superstar that really caught my attention growing up as a kid was 'Macho Man' Randy Savage.Rey Mysterio It's clear that Planned Parenthood went out of its way to paint me as some sort of a zealot - a Trojan-horse zealot who came into Komen and within 10 to 11 months had completely turned the place upside down. That's clearly not who I am, and it's not what happened.Karen Handel Once you become president, you don't even have to stop for red lights. And if it looks like traffic's too bad, you just take a helicopter.H. W. Brands From Julia Child to 'The Galloping Gourmet' and the Food Channel and Cooking Channel, our fascination with the spectacle of cooking has been a mainstay of TV entertainment.Chuck Norris I want to love. I want to enjoy life.David Cassidy The mistake we made in the 1990s was overestimating the potential of NAFTA's positive impact.William M. Daley I was set to confront the might of the ...

It is a leftist myth that European conquerors and settlers encountered only peaceful,

virtuous tribes and subdued them murderously in the name of Christianity and Capitalism. Tom Tancredo If a little black girl in Montgomery, Alabama, or some far-reaching region sees something that I do and aspires to do it one day with the knowledge that she can achieve it, then hey, my work is done. Octavia Spencer Making movies is hard for me. Being on set is very trying. I'm not good at being that communicative for that long. Editing is where I'm happiest. David Lowery If you focus on what people care about, you have ideas. And people are looking for solutions. Rob Portman When I was a child, Sunday afternoons felt like they could last a week or a month. Increasingly, as I get older, time is going so, so fast. Mark Rylance Microwave sales have plateaued as people realize that reheated TV dinners give us no joy. Kimbal Musk For me to be here at album number six, it's kind of a way to say, 'Thank you for allowing me to be here... to still be around.' Ne-Yo Why wou...

I do think that there are certain parts, if you are lucky enough to play

them, that are bigger than you, and they stretch you. I don't think you become a bigger person, but you develop certain muscles you didn't have before. Harriet Walter I've always envied girls having Ugg boots, so when I found some for men, I had to have them. Marc Warren I've met big-name actors doing Hollywood films, and they've said that all they want is an in at HBO and their own show. Chris Lilley Everything is very individual for me in the way that I work; I don't just show a rotating rack of clothes. Brad Goreski There have been a lot of critiques of the finance industry's having possibly foisted subprime mortgages on unknowing buyers, and a lot of those kinds of arguments are even more powerful when used against college administrators who are probably in some ways engaged in equally misleading advertising. Peter Thiel Every public company depends to some extent on the trust of its investors. Alex Berenson Niaqornat particularly seeme...

I just try to keep the same people I've had around me from Day One.

Keep it a real small circle because if you do that, not too much is going to go bad for you. Kevin Love I may not be as visible as I used to be, and by that I mean being in the clubhouse or on the field. But I'm just as invested as I've always been. Billy Beane I was a dancer for many years. I was a premier dancer with 'Porgy and Bess,' the opera. And I taught dance some, in different places. Maya Angelou I steal things from people, characteristics, and I just stock them in my head like a library to use for characters in the future. Luke Mably To the extent that we have a better understanding of the brain, we will have a richer appreciation of ourselves, of our fellow men and of society and, in fact, of the whole world and its problems. John Eccles I think what you wear really does need to reflect what your own personal style is. Rachel Zoe Write that novel. Start that business you've always wanted to. The ultimate high of life is the commitment to...

If you see me walking down the street, you're gonna see the same guy as

you do on stage, dressed the same, looking the same, and nothing changes. I'm just one person. Daryl Hall I don't want to play a voice. Andy Serkis I'm a native of L.A. I've seen the city change and develop over time, and I still believe there's no place like home. Jonathan Silverman You can't be nervous when you know your steps. Rob Kardashian I've become more comfortable as time has gone on with saying goodbye because... I've been having so many conversations about the cyclical nature of life. It just keeps going. Brie Larson I'm so much fun. Every kid wishes I was their grandpa! I'm the Motor City Madgramps. Ted Nugent Harold Lloyd was not a comedian. But he was the finest actor to play a comedian that I ever saw. Hal Roach I've always been interested in the history of radical feminism - what happened to those women of the 1960s and '70s. Sarah Hall Traditional arguments for the existence of God and contemporary...

When I was studying... there weren't any black concert pianists. My choices were intuitive, and

I had the technique to do it. People have heard my music and heard the classic in it, so I have become known as a black classical pianist. Nina Simone Creation implies authority in the sense of originator. The possibility of a 'Fall' is implied in a Covenant insofar as the idea of a Covenant implies the possibility of its being violated. Kenneth Burke Other people - they practice and they practice... these fingers of mine, they got brains in 'em. You don't tell them what to do - they do it. God given talent. Jerry Lee Lewis In this day and time, with no competition you are really walking a tightrope. I mean you may think that no competition is good, but in reality no competition is really bad. Jerry Lawler I played a heap of snow in a school play. I was under a sheet, and crawled out when spring came. I often say I'll never reach the same artistic level again. Stellan Skarsgard The wisest have the most authority. Plato Francis Webb is easily our gr...
