When a liquid boils, the temperature has been raised to such a pitch that the

evaporating molecules are sufficient in number and speed to lift off the air from the surface of the liquid and push it back en masse.
William Henry Bragg

My principal at RADA once told me, 'You'll know you're a professional when you don't feel like doing it but you have to do it.'

As an actor, you look for roles that can constantly challenge you and you can learn from.
Talisa Soto

Researchers consistently find that most older volunteers, when compared to older nonvolunteers, have fewer functional and physical impairments, overall better health, higher life satisfaction and less depression. In addition, they attend religious services more frequently and belong to more social organizations.
Edgar Bronfman, Sr.

With somebody like Harrison Ford, they're so commanding and confident, and you know, he does have a certain power or charisma, and those are things that are sort of ineffable.
Paul Dano

Liquid helium belongs to a class of fluids known as quantum fluids, as distinct from classical fluids.
David Lee

I will never date an actor or a model. My family will never accept her. We are a middle class family, and an actress will never be able to gel with us.
Suresh Raina

I make a rod for my own back because people see my novels as quasi documentaries. But it is never history that's the main event of my books. It's my characters.
Christopher Koch

I think when people see photos of you out and about in your personal life, they assume that you've asked for it or that you want that attention, but I don't think anyone in their right mind asks for that kind of thing.
Liam Hemsworth

For where Kingman is located, the coral cover is unique in the world. I refer to it as a universe of hard corals. You are not going to find soft corals like in the western Pacific - places like Indonesia, Palau, or Fiji.
Brian Skerry

What I wear is constantly evolving. I am really big on comfortable clothes. I love soft, loose-fitting clothing that has some edge or something new/fresh to it.

I love being in the studio, and I am a huge fan of live music.

Without writing good stuff in the studio, you have nothing to play live. Anthony Hamilton I purposely don't talk about money, because people are already skeptical about TV preachers. But I do say that I want you to be blessed. To me, prosperity is having health, having great children, having peace, good relationships. It's not about the money. Joel Osteen When I was between 2 and 3 years old, I got to know my first non-human being. The non-human was a cocker spaniel named Baba. We weren't friends, Baba and I, nor enemies. He wasn't my dog. He belonged to the people my mother worked for, and he lived in the house with them and us. Octavia E. Butler I was considered the luckiest of all the female gypsies since I landed the job as social secretary to Ambassador and Mrs. David Bruce at the American Embassy. Letitia Baldrige Some musicians like to decorate their walls with discs saying: '1 million records sold in America.' I prefer to put up discs marking...

Real science is the greatest, most exciting springboard I have available to me as

a writer, and I don't feel the least bit constrained by it. Mark Waid I said I reject any form of bigotry, bigotry of all kinds. Steve Scalise I'm trying to enjoy my time at home and be around my kids. Rey Mysterio The thing that I love about 'Scandal' is every character, it's not clear if they're good or bad. Everyone is both good and bad. Nazanin Boniadi Many of the basic lessons of business, such as the critical value of customer service or measuring risk against reward when investing capital, have essential application in government, but not in a vacuum. John Hickenlooper I grew up in London, one of four children. We were a very loud family, not a lot of listening, plenty of talking. My mum was a hearth mother: she loved to gather us all around her - Sunday lunches were a big thing. She was very good at thinking on her feet - people used to say she should go into politics. Damian Lewis When you're an independent artist, you need as much play or promotio...

There is constant talk about the intermarriage crisis: who is a Jew and how

we define a Jew. That doesn't go over well with young Jews trying to figure out whether they want to be a part of this thing or not. Tahl Raz I've been studying voice for quite a while, especially opera, for at least seven or eight years. Shelly Burch Like anything, I remember who I work for. You work for the people who sent you to office. Darryl Glenn For the bourgeoisie, the main danger against which it had to be protected, that which had to be avoided at all costs, was armed uprising, was the armed people, was the workers taking to the streets in an assault against the government. Michel Foucault My grandmother is a huge part of my life. She's just a great woman: a woman of the church. Chance The Rapper I don't think we can fix poverty without fixing housing, and I don't think we can address housing without understanding landlords. Matthew Desmond One of my best friends since I was eleven years old is a gay man, and I knew his struggle. It was a tough life, you ...

Persuasiveness is really just about getting your ideas across without being forceful.

It's a skill that can be learned and is useful for anyone who works in a team environment. Amanda de Cadenet I was an extra in a Tia Carrere music video. Adam Scott When people start to think they're figuring out 'The Vampire Diaries,' it switches on you. Kat Graham It's a huge blessing to know you've done something that has affected people the way 'The Matrix' has. It's like, there's 'Star Wars,' and then there's 'The Matrix.' It's cool to be a part of that. Laurence Fishburne Voters aren't asking to be pandered to and aren't asking to be tricked. Jason Kander I'm a pretty controlled and disciplined person, but my real vice is buying plants and food shopping. Zac Posen Barack Obama was a president who understood not only how technology could transform the way government services worked but also technology itself. He got it. Steven Levy Positivity, confidence, and persistence are key in life, so never give up...

I am not really into paintings, to be honest, but for me, the art I love is when I see

singers putting their heart into their song, actors giving the performance of their lives, and books and movies that make me feel something I never thought I could; there's art in everything as long as it's made with soul. Sara Sampaio I've always had a reluctance to meet my heroes. Steven Van Zandt Those who support the death penalty are accepting a practice that is both ineffective and fundamentally flawed. Clint Smith I don't want to be in the spotlight, ever! I don't know why I got in this profession! Ana de Armas I've never been in trouble with the law. Glenn Gronkowski Writers can express ideas and emotions that are important to them but have no other means of expression. Some of these ideas may be fantastic, and some of the emotions may be given clearer voice in fantastic fiction. Brian Stableford The Internet removed geography as a significant obstacle that formerly prevented out-of-the-way places from being active players in the New Economy. Greg Gian...

I ain't here to argue about his facial features. Or here to convert atheists into

believers. I'm just trying to say the way school need teachers the way Kathie Lee needed Regis that's the way yall need Jesus. Kanye West If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things that are missing. If you don't have love in your life, no matter what else there is, it's not enough. Ann Landers Diligence is the mother of good fortune, and idleness, its opposite, never brought a man to the goal of any of his best wishes. Miguel de Cervantes When a reporter sits down at the typewriter, he's nobody's friend. Theodore White The ability to mingle with so many countries and cultures is extremely valuable for men and women. Bill Toomey I never met a man I didn't want to fight. Lyle Alzado The clear-sighted do not rule the world, but they sustain and console it. Agnes Repplier

Raising money, like sausage-making, ain't pretty to see, and it would be just criminally naive

to rely on the big hearts of big donors.Richard Cohen Western countries have gone through their development cycle and enjoyed the fruits of ruining the environment over many years and are now giving us homilies and pontificating on responsibilities to the environment. I think they need to look inward.Piyush Goyal Our frequent initiatives to normalise relations with Pakistan are not a sign of our weakness; rather, they are an indication of our commitment to peace.Atal Bihari Vajpayee I've always been proud that I come from people who were activists, who have this indomitable spirit. I am proud to have inherited the spirit of resistance and revolution.Jurnee Smollett-Bell Learning about crime in great detail forces us to ask ourselves how it happened, how the victims and perpetrators got to that point, how the law works, how the police force functions.Robert Rinder I guess I'm a socialist at heart.Robert Stigwood I am proud of the fact that people consider me a ...

I love film, and I think it's so important for kids to be educated about

films and real life subjects that films cover. Nico Mirallegro I have no ax to grind. I was lucky. I played. How many guys play high school, college football never play pro football? Art Donovan North Korea, under its thirtysomething Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-un, is no country for old men. The latest casualty in Kim's ongoing purge of the senior military command was the defense minister, Hyon Yong-chol, who reportedly committed the classic old man's offense of falling asleep in a meeting. Barbara Demick I've never worn costume jewelry in my life. It's really very self-defeating. Why should a man buy a woman real jewelry when she wears false pieces? Gloria Guinness You won't believe it, but for the first two years of our marriage I lived off my wife. Like every self-respecting man, I hated it. Ram Kapoor I want to be remembered for having a great love for my fellow man. Because, you know, I do. Billy Casper My father taught my siblings and me the imp...

I don't want to give up living, because I enjoy it so much, and I

love working - I don't expect I'll ever have to stop. But Alzheimer's or something like that would render me pretty useless. Donald Sutherland I had a condition called gynecomastia - I had really big man-boobs, and I got a surgery for it. Josh Trank The idea of music coming from the Church is not new. Morgan Neville My life was filled with family in South Sudan. I am the seventh of nine children, and we grew up in what would be considered a middle-class family. We did not have a lot, but we did have more than a lot of other people. Alek Wek The long journey I've taken from where I started, and to end up at the Governors Awards as a governor - it was an emotional and powerful moment for me. Roger Ross Williams We have to be as good as we want to be as a nation. Brad Paisley My dad passed away when I was 10. Sterling K. Brown There is no better way to create a confident and meaningful connection with someone than to be self-assured and true to yoursel...

My work is distinct and definitive and specific, and hopefully it is so that every

single character is different, and they are - but there's probably an underlying element that's me. Michael Keaton A team without hope fizzles: no flameout, no fire. Rabih Alameddine I do wish to emphasize that in light of the Alibaba deal, Youku Tudou management will remain independent, and we will continue to be open to opportunities for cooperation with other strategic partners going forward. Victor Koo I'm still ambivalent about Hollywood. I think that's why I made 'Star 80.' To deal with the ambivalence. I really wanted to succeed Gene Kelly, and I thought it was a fair bet. Bob Fosse Gosh, I love saying 'Booyakasha!' I keep finding new ways to say it. I love saying 'Booyakasha.' Greg Cipes Google Glass is the wearable computer that responds to voice commands and displays information on a visual display. Astro Teller Improvising political dialogue is not easy. James Nesbitt I don't know that the referee can be watchi...
