One of the things I try to do with my writing is try to evoke

the spirit of the place. I think these things imprint on the landscape and the culture.
Sarah Hall

I'm not the kind of filmmaker who's going to go from one thing to the next. I often wish I was that filmmaker, but I'm just not.
Jonathan Glazer

Once I'm on stage, there's just no time for a sip of water - I've always got my hands in puppets! My voice is raw by the time I finish.
Nina Conti

When the Mets were on their run in the 1980s, Gary Carter was often seen hugging somebody. It was easy to joke about that. The best hug of all was with Jesse Orosco at the end of the 1986 World Series.
George Vecsey

I do love the evolution of people in general. I think it's a beautiful thing when someone progresses and evolves in life.
Khloe Kardashian

There are over 50 brilliant scientists working at my lab, and being sensitive to their needs is among the top skill sets that scientists like me have to learn.
Peter Agre

I am well aware that there are prisoners of conscience in the Soviet Union, including some who have said they have chosen to resist the law because of religious reasons.
Billy Graham

Fundamentally, we all want the same thing. We want to love. We want to be loved, and we want to matter.
Hill Harper

I've no interest in going on a road trip. If I want to go on holiday, I want to sit on a beach, swim, drink cocktails and read a book.
Sam Riley

In 'Changeling,' I tried to show something you'd never see nowadays - a kid sitting and looking at the radio. Just sitting in front of the radio and listening. Your mind does the rest.
Clint Eastwood

Everything in my life has been about sound and making music, so Beats represents just that - the improvement of sound and the dedication to everything I've been doing from the day I started.
Dr. Dre

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...

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 ...

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...

Chris Hemsworth is like Christopher Reeve in that he can do two things:

he can wear a big red cape without a shred of self-consciousness. But he's also funny as hell, and he's so sweet. So with all the fish-out-of-water stuff, he's so funny. So he does almost two jobs in a way. Tom Hiddleston I would say that, in the future, the book will be reserved for things that function best as a book. So, if I need a textbook that's going to be out of date because of new technological inventions, you're better off having it where you can download the supplements or the update. Art Spiegelman Although I may find the type of programming seen during the 2004 Super Bowl and the 2003 Golden Globe Awards disgusting and disturbing, we must always work hard to defend the cherished freedoms so clearly outlined in our Constitution, including a healthy and free press. Mike Rogers I think once you're in the public eye, whether you're a boss, a teacher or whatever you do, that you're automatically in the position of role model. You have pe...

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...

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

The old series of sittings with Mrs. Piper convinced me of survival for reasons which

I should find it hard to formulate in any strict fashion, but that was their distinct effect. Oliver Joseph Lodge I have had issues with depression all my life, and it's probably true to say there was a tendency towards it even when I was very young, during my schooldays. There was often - and this is quite common with comics - a sense of not feeling as if I belonged anywhere. Jack Dee When I was 12 years old, someone took me to see Martha Graham. It was nothing like what I thought of as serious dancing and even then I knew I was having a great experience. It was as if somebody was moving through space like no one ever did before. Leslie Fiedler If you're interested or like it, but could be just as happy living in a regular town, having a regular job, maybe doing little theatre, you're better off and you'll be a happier person. This is too gut-wrenching and heartbreaking. Delta Burke I'd say the majority of my friends are Australians, although I have som...
